Chapter 446 Not Worthy Enough

Dai Lemao and Chen turned around, their faces clouded.

“I had heard that Old Ding was in closed-door cultivation. He rarely goes anywhere. People say that he’s focusing on the thunder fire cultivation method, attempting to become a top trainer.”

“Sounds about right!”

“He became a master trainer twenty years ago, right? It’s about time that he makes another breakthrough.”

“You guys, don’t call him Old Ding. He’ll hear you.” s.h.i.+ Haochi lowered his voice.

Dai Lemao heaved a sigh. “Right. If he does succeed, we would have to use more polite terms to address him.”

“Here he comes. Let’s go and say hi.” Chen had already stood up. Building relations.h.i.+ps had to be done early. Otherwise, b.u.t.tering him up would be that much harder when Old Ding did make the breakthrough

s.h.i.+ Haochi and Dai Lemao nodded. They gathered their students and went to the red -carpeted aisle.

“Master Ding…”

Zhenxiang, Tongtong, Qian Xiuxiu, and Zhou Jin gazed at the hunchbacked old man with an unattractive appearance. There was a difference in status even among the master trainers. By seeing how their dad (teacher) had reacted, they knew they would have to pay respects to the man called Master Ding. Su Ping darted a glance at that master but didn’t feel as startled. All of a sudden, he saw two familiar faces in the group following Master Ding.

Surprised, Su Ping raised his eyebrows.

The other master trainers had also noticed Master Ding. Few of the prouder master trainers remained seated. Apart from those few, the other master trainers “accidentally” stood up and “happened to” step near the aisle where Master Ding would definitely pa.s.s by.

Once Master Ding moved closer, the master trainers would go and say hi.

The aisle was short but it took Master Ding more than ten minutes to arrive at Su Ping’s location. “Master Ding, long time no see!” s.h.i.+ Haochi, Chen, and Dai Lemao were pretending to talk about pets while they were observing through the corner of their eyes. When they noticed that Master Ding was close enough, s.h.i.+ Haochi “accidentally” turned around and greeted him with some surprise, calmness, and a bit of natural reaction.

Chen and Dai Lemao also acted surprised and said their h.e.l.los.

Hmm, they were just calling him Old Ding and now they addressed him as Master Ding.

Master Ding’s name was Ding Fengchun. He had noticed the master trainers the second he stepped into the room. He was fully aware of how natural those encounters were. He said hi with a smile while his mind was focused on the ones who remained sitting.

People wouldn’t necessarily remember the ones who treated them nicely. But if someone slapped you in the face, you would never forget and you would become even angrier over time!

The ones sitting down. Fine, I won’t forget you.

“They must be your daughters. How smart they are,” Ding Fengchun said to s.h.i.+ Haochi with a smile. That wasn’t entirely offered as false praise.

Ding Chunfeng had never cared about s.h.i.+ Haochi.

However, he remembered s.h.i.+ Haochi’s daughters well. They were the strong performers of all the master trainers’ children. The two girls had good academic scores and they had reached the sixth rank before they reached the age of twenty. How talented!

In the future, they could become master trainers just like s.h.i.+ Haochi. Three master trainers in one family. How awesome!

Ding Chunfeng couldn’t help but remember his stupid son who only wanted to become a battle pet warrior. How foolish.

“You flatter them, Master Ding,” s.h.i.+ Haochi said humbly.

Zhenxiang and Tongtong blushed in excitement.

Su Ping looked at the two girls. How could Old Ding tell that they were smart just by the way they looked? “You?!”

All of a sudden, someone cried out in alarm and stepped out from the crowd behind Ding Fengchun.

The master trainers were talking. Who was the one unable to read the room?

It was a girl.

Hu Rongrong blushed in shame as she noticed how people were staring at her. But she kept her gaze on Su Ping. She could not believe it. Su Ping was an elementary level trainer that had just made his first visit to the Holy Light Base City. What was he doing at the conference?

Was Su Ping a friend of the three master trainers? But he was from another base city. Why?
