Chapter 444 - The Conference (2/2)

“You must be hungry. I will tell them to get dinner ready,” s.h.i.+ Haochi said with a smile. He told the maid to get the butler and to have dinner ready.

s.h.i.+ Haochi sat down in the living room and told his daughters, “You two must learn from Brother Su. He will attend the master trainer conference tomorrow.”

“He’s attending the master trainer conference?!”

The two girls almost jumped up in shock.

No kidding.

It was enough that Su Ping fooled our dad. Now he’s going to attend the conference?

“Dad, you cannot be serious,” Tongtong shouted.

“I am serious.”

s.h.i.+ Haochi added, “Brother Su was invited by the head office. Do you think I’m the one who invited him? What on earth are you thinking?”

“The head office?”

The two girls could not believe it.

They thought Su Ping had fooled their dad into taking him to the conference.

It turned out that Su Ping received the invitation from the head office. So…

The head office was also fooled by Su Ping?

Pah!

He truly is a master trainer?!

The two girls looked at each other. Both could see their shared astonishment in each other’s eyes.

They turned around to look at Su Ping who was still as composed as before. They became even more curious about him. A master trainer at such a young age? How was that even possible?

They had never heard of that before!

There was no one like him in the Holy Light Base City!

If everything was true, then he had broken the record of the youngest master trainer to date! “I’m not,” Su Ping answered. “You’re not?”

“I am.”

Tongtong was losing her mind. He was taunting her!

She shouldn’t have asked any questions.

d.a.m.n my mouth! Tongtong was mad at herself and Su Ping. She sat there, sulking. s.h.i.+ Haochi smiled at his angry daughter. Finally, someone caught you off guard!

Soon, dinner was served. It was a fancy set up.

There were seafood and other meats but every dish was cooked with the most delicious parts of the edible beasts. In the afternoon, s.h.i.+ Haochi had called home and told the maids to get ready.

It was the first time for Su Ping to enjoy such a grand meal. All of a sudden, he felt the benefit of money.

Money could still help even when a person had no combat strength!

At least, one could be well fed!

“Have you prepared the formal dresses for tomorrow’s conference?” s.h.i.+ Haochi asked his daughters over dinner.

Zhenxiang nodded. “Yes.” s.h.i.+ Haochi looked at the casual clothes Su Ping had on. “Brother Su, do you need me to prepare you a suit?” “Mm sunths.”

Su Ping swallowed the food down. “No, thanks. That would be too much.”

He and s.h.i.+ Haochi were neither relatives nor friends. He already felt bad enough by staying there… Although, he didn’t seem to be embarra.s.sed when he gobbled down the food.

Of course, he wouldn’t go as far as to have s.h.i.+ Haochi get him a suit.

Besides, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with his clothes. He had spent hundreds of coins on them.

“Sure.” s.h.i.+ Haochi didn’t insist.

The two girls sized up Su Ping with weird looks on their faces. Was this guy really going to the conference? As a master trainer?

Both girls felt a surge of oddly-mixed feelings.

Envy, jealousy, hatred, sadness…

Ah, what a complicated mixture of emotions.

“I’m done!” Tongtong ran upstairs immediately after dinner. She could not wait to find out if Su Ping did have the skills of a master trainer at the next day’s conference.

Exchange ideas with other master trainers?

Su Ping would be so embarra.s.sed if he were so utterly ignorant that he couldn’t answer any questions that the other master trainers asked!

Tongtong still didn’t trust her unreliable dad.

“Daddy, I’m full. Excuse me.” Zhenxiang put down her chopsticks and went upstairs as well.

The two girls were certainly sharing their secret thoughts upstairs right then. s.h.i.+ Haochi shook his head. “Brother Su, don’t mind them. Enjoy yourself,” he said to Su Ping. “Sure thing.” Su Ping made a clean sweep of the dishes.
