Chapter 138 - A Solution (2/2)

Having finished the lecture, he could go back and train the pets.

Soon, he arrived at the store. The first thing he did was to select another group of pets for the dummy trainer. Then, he placed the trained pets into the training s.p.a.ce.

Having finished this work, Su Ping sat down and practiced the basic augmentation skills while waiting for business.

His major clients were still those from the Phoenix Peak Academy. Since the time was still around school hours, business slowed down and would only ramp up when school was over.

Su Ping stopped after a while. Taking advantage of this time, he went back to the dragon king’s heritage ground to cultivate. He stayed there for a day and achieved some progress. When he came back to the store, it was five in the afternoon. Students were going to show up soon.

He sat down, turned on his phone and resumed his cultivation as he waited for customers.

Not long after, his phone began to ring.

Su Ping picked it up. He was surprised that it was Dong Mingsong who was calling him. “Is something wrong, Vice Princ.i.p.al Dong?” On the other side, Dong Mingsong was relieved that the call went through. Sulking, he said, “Who gave you the courage to ask me about what is wrong? Don’t you know you have gotten into trouble today?” He sounded quite serious, as if Su Ping had committed heinous crimes.

“I don’t know.”

Su Ping was confused.

Dong Mingsong didn’t know what to say. Su Ping had not taken this seriously even though he was using a severe tone of voice. He tried to remind Su Ping, “Do you not know what you did by the gate today?”.

Su Ping answered, “Someone was in my way. I asked them to step aside. That was it.”

Dong Mingsong almost lost grip of his phone. “You asked them to step aside? Did you need the Inferno Dragon to do that?”

“About that. Well, they refused to listen to my human words, so I had no other choice but to let my pets communicate with them,” Su Ping argued.

Dong Mingsong forced a bitter smile. He could tell that Su Ping was unhappy. After all, he once fought in the uncultivated lands. Naturally, he wasn’t a mild pushover.

Dong Mingsong explained, “Those people came because I invited them to battle with our students and exchange knowledge. They want you to apologize because you beat up their students. I know this wasn’t your fault, but when word gets out, this can be a negative press for the academy. So, if you are free tomorrow, you’d better drop by the academy and say some polite words to them so they can have a nice way out.”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Going back to the academy? That trip would cost him an hour.

“If that’s the case, I think you can apologize on my behalf. Thank you, Vice Princ.i.p.al.” Su Ping laughed.

Dong Mingsong sounded helpless. “I would have if I could. A few words of apology won’t do me any harm. But they insisted on you coming. I have no other choice.”

Su Ping was speechless. He had just resolved one trouble, and that trouble’s teacher was just around the corner.

So many s.h.i.+**y businesses. “Fine. I will find some time to go there. Right, how about you ask them to come to my store?” Su Ping suddenly had an idea.

Dong Mingsong was freaked out. He turned Su Ping down at once. “No, no, no. This is just a trivial matter. We don’t need to make a big scene. Just stop by, and it’ll be fine.”

“I’m okay with you coming here.”

“I cannot do that. I cannot.”

“If you say so…”

The call ended. Su Ping knew he had to go to the academy again tomorrow.

Then, gradually, students began to show up.

Su Ping calmed himself down to cheat them out of their money… erm, to tend to their needs.

Some were there to pick up their pets, and some were there to train their pets. Su Ping noticed that the number of students that day was small. Most of the students were familiar ones that had come to pick up their pets.

“Is there anything happening in school today?” Su Ping grabbed a student and asked. He remembered the exchange Dong Songming mentioned. Were all the students joining in the exchange?

The boy was flattered to answer SuPing’s question. He was a frequent customer, having gone there three times already. His pet was of the third rank, and he only needed to pay 10,000 for each training. Otherwise, he might not have enough money to go there so many times.

The three training rounds had amazed him. With the help of the pet’s progress, his combat strength had been enhanced greatly as a result; he was considered among the best students in his cla.s.s at the moment.

He scorned the negative rumors about Su Ping’s lectures spreading on campus that day. He regarded the people saying those rumors as fools.

However, he didn’t argue with them because he was more of a calculating, not openly confronting type.

Due to the negative rumors, some people were speaking ill of Su Ping and as a result, began to dislike Su Ping’s store, claiming it was a place Su Ping used to cheat people out of their money.

The boy was filled with mixed feelings. While he was cross with those insinuations, he was happy inside.

He was secretly happy that if fewer people were to go to Su Ping’s store, then the queuing time… would naturally be less.

What a huge benefit this was for him!

As a “hard-core fan”, the boy could only watch helplessly as the others scolded Su Ping, or maybe, he could grumble for Su Ping’s sake for a bit in his mind.
