Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1389

Chapter 1389. Chapter 1384 Yuanzhou University (Two Chapters Combined)

Villa, Open Space.

After hearing the words, Qiao Sang immediately had a target in mind: “Is it the other contestants participating in the Master Challenge?”

“It should be them.” Michaela said in a deep voice: “However, the competition for the top 40 to the top 20 is not over yet, but someone has come to monitor your movements…”

As she spoke, she looked over: “Who do you think it is among them?”

Qiao Sang thought for two seconds and said: “It should be someone who has only now taken me as an opponent. I think Lefebvre and Serana are the most likely candidates. Between the two, Lefebvre is more likely, after all, he has more resources to send an Emperor-level pet beast to monitor him.”

Serana was born a commoner, while Lefebvre has the backing of a family. Between the two, the latter is more likely to summon an Emperor-level pet beast.

“Possibly.” Michaela said: “But I think there is someone more likely than him.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Who?”

“Gaston and Feng Fu.” Michaela gave two names.

Jo Sang’s mind instantly flashed with information about the two individuals:

Gaston, 56 years old, a student in the Royal Class at Royal Union University, possessing four Royal-level pet beasts; and Feng Fu, 55 years old, a student in the Yuan Class at Yuan Zhou University, also possessing four Royal-level pet beasts. They were the only students from their respective schools still participating in this year’s Master Challenge.

Royal Union University originally had another student named Aiyoub participating, but he had been eliminated in the previous round.

Jo Sang collected his thoughts and suddenly realized, “I know, their teacher wants to come and observe your teaching methods, to see how you produce a student like me, and then learn from them.”

Upon hearing this, Michaela outwardly feigned “You’re overthinking it,” saying, “That’s unlikely. Teachers at this level of school each have their own unique teaching methods; they don’t easily copy others.” Inwardly,

however, he was secretly pleased.

“Could it be that they’re only now considering me an opponent?” Jo Sang asked, frowning.

In her opinion, if the other side wanted to collect her information, they should have sent their pet beasts long ago, not now, after she had just shut out Xia Huo.

Moreover, she remembered that neither Gaston nor Feng Fu had started this round of matches yet; they should be more focused on their current opponents. Why were they suddenly monitoring her at this crucial juncture?

“They didn’t just start considering you an opponent now; they’ve seen you as one for a long time. Now they see you as an opportunity to make a name for themselves,” Michaela said. “You shut out two students from Yan Tian University’s Yan Class in a row. If they can beat you… they probably don’t want to completely defeat you. Just getting one or two points against you would be enough to prove they’re stronger than the Yan Tian University students.”

They probably didn’t just want one or two points, otherwise that would be too unambitious… Qiao Sang thought to herself,

“Hasn’t this match even started yet?”

Meaning, they didn’t even know if they would advance, so why were they already thinking about fighting her later?

“The one monitoring you is probably their teacher,” Michaela said. “Their school doesn’t have a pet beast with the same information-gathering ability as Guilunsail, so whenever they want to learn about something they can’t get, they’ll personally go out to find out. Gathering more information about you and preparing for the upcoming competition don’t conflict.”

That makes sense… Josang suddenly thought of something and quickly glanced in the direction of Sharara. When she saw Sharara looking fresh and clean, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she cautiously observed her surroundings: “There shouldn’t be any Emperor-level pet beasts around right now, right?”

“Puff.” Penjami raised its paw.

“Except for you,” Josang said.

Jiu Bugu silently appeared.

Josang’s lips twitched. “I meant to monitor my Emperor-level pet beasts.”

Little Xunbao and Qingbao looked around cautiously.

Even Tingbao, who was lying next to them, raised its head and looked around.

“We’ve already talked like this, even if they’re still here, they should take this opportunity to leave,” Michaela said, while giving Penjami a wink.

Penjame’s silent eyes glowed blue.

Invisible sound waves rippled outwards.

After a short while, Penjame’s eyes returned to their original color. She shook her head and called out,

“Penpen.”

Sharara also turned her gaze away from the tree and called out,

“Xia…”

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Sang interrupted, “To be on the safe side, you’d better speak another race’s language at home in the future.”

Sharara nodded obediently and called out,

“Qingqing.”

Then it called out again,

“Qingqing.”

This time, the tree returned to normal.

“Xunxun…” Little Xunbao patted its chest with its paw, breathed a sigh of relief, and then cried out in fear, indicating how terrifying an Emperor-level pet beast was; it hadn’t even noticed it in the tree… “Qingqing…

“

Qingbao called out disdainfully, indicating what was so scary about it; it would become a god in the future…

At this point, it suddenly stopped, changed its tone, and called out,

“Qingqing.”

You might not have noticed, but Sharara did, didn’t she?

“Xia, Qingqing.” Xia Lala called out, looking embarrassed, indicating that the other party was mainly monitoring through plants; if it were another method, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to detect it.

“That’s still impressive.” After saying that, Qiao Sang thought of something and asked, “Guilun Sel should be able to find out who Gaston and Feng Fu’s teachers are. Once they find out, they can roughly determine which school’s teachers are monitoring them through their pets.”

“You don’t need to worry about that,” Michaela said. “Their own strength is insufficient; even if they know a lot, it’s useless. You just need to focus on training and improving Ya Bao and the others. I’ll take care of everything else.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang felt a strong sense of security for no reason and immediately said seriously, “I understand.”

After saying that, she looked at Xiao Xun Bao and the others.

Xiao Xun Bao realized something and unconsciously took a step back, showing a flattering expression and calling out, “Xun Xun~”

Since everything was alright now, it continued to look at its phone.

After speaking, it tentatively floated back a few meters.

Qiao Sang didn’t stop it.

Little Treasure Hunter glanced back at his Beastmaster with some uncertainty.

“Judging from your expression,   I know you think I’ll let you train…” Qiao Sang laughed, “Go on, you’ve had a tough day in the competition, take a good rest.”

“Xunxun~” Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao immediately showed a happy expression and floated towards the big tree.   However, halfway there, it suddenly remembered something, changed direction, and floated towards the villa.   ”Qingqing!”   Qingbao called out, indicating that it should wait for it.   Then, Huafeng followed.   ”Bang bang bang!”   Explosions rang out continuously in the sky, but Ya Bao and Long Da Wang were still fiercely fighting, completely unaffected.   …   The next day.   Blue Star.   Hangzhou City.   Fire Fang Dog Breeding Shop.   ”Boss! More media are outside saying they want to conduct interviews.” A staff member ran up to the office area upstairs and said.   ”No, no, let them leave.” Ye Xiangting pinched her brow, her expression slightly tired, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but turn up slightly as she spoke.   Her voice was a little hoarse.   This was already the umpteenth batch.

Since Qiao Sang participated in the Master Challenge, media outlets have been trying to interview her every day. At first, she was happy to be interviewed.

But after Qiao Sang won the competition, the number of media outlets wanting to interview her increased, especially after yesterday’s match, which made her quite annoyed with the media.

She really didn’t want to be interviewed anymore.

However, she was still happy to see this phenomenon, after all, the media wanted to interview her because her daughter had become successful.

“They said if you agree to an interview, they can promote our store for free,” a staff member relayed the message.

“No need, no need, tell them to leave.” Ye Xiangting waved her hand and said, “If they don’t leave, just say I’m not here.”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a “knock knock” on the window.

Ye Xiangting turned her head and saw

a woman wearing glasses sitting on a fat domestic pigeon, who had appeared outside the window at some point: “Ms. Ye, don’t say you’re not here, I’m from Hangzhou Hong Kong News…”

Before she could finish speaking, Tong Huaxiao walked over, raised its wings, and with a “whoosh,” pulled the curtains shut.

Suddenly, the staff member looked at the table and said in a trembling voice, “Boss, boss…”

Ye Xiangting followed his gaze and looked down.

There, several words were suddenly written in the air with water:

【Ms. Ye, sorry to bother you, I’m from Global Beast Taming News…】

Before it could finish writing, Ye Xiangting coldly said, “If you bother me like this again, I’ll tell my daughter when she gets back.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the words written in water on the table were quickly erased by an invisible force, leaving no trace.

Her daughter’s name really works… Ye Xiangting thought to herself, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her lips.

The staff member, seeing the water disappear from the table, breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Boss, I’ll go back to work now.”

Ye Xiangting said, “Go ahead.”

The staff member left the room.

Ye Xiangting got up, went to the window, pulled back the curtains slightly, and looked down.

A dense crowd of media had gathered downstairs, each broadcasting to their cameras.

Many passersby were also gathered around, taking pictures of the shops and the gathered reporters.

Ye Xiangting rubbed her forehead, a smug look on her face as she sighed, “This is really a headache.”

Just then, a staff member who had gone downstairs rushed back up, panting, and said,

“It’s terrible, boss! Ah Ming just told me that a lot of Firefang Dogs are banging their heads against trees at our base!”

“What?” Ye Xiangting’s expression changed.

…

A dozen minutes later.

Suburbs.

Tonghua Xiao stopped at a base specifically for breeding Firefang Dogs.

Ye Xiangting jumped down and quickly went inside.

This was a base specifically for breeding Firefang Dogs. Since business had improved, people from all over the country had come specifically to buy Firefang Dogs from her.

As her business grew, she naturally bought a private pet base that happened to be for sale and turned it into a dedicated pet base for Firefang Dogs, making it easier to breed them.

Ye Xiangting quickly entered the base.

Soon, she saw more than a dozen Firefang Dogs repeatedly banging their heads against tree trunks.

Each of them looked excited and determined, banging their heads against the tree without the slightest hesitation, as if they weren’t just hitting a tree, but doing something extremely worthwhile.

Several staff members standing nearby looked completely at a loss.

Seeing Ye Xiangting arrive, they rushed over as if they’d seen a savior:

“Boss, you’re finally here!”

Ye Xiangting ignored them and quickly said to the Firefang Dogs, “Stop right now!”

“Fang!”

one of the Firefang Dogs barked at her, then continued banging its head against the tree.

“What did it say?” Ye Xiangting asked the Sliding Owl.

“Sliding,”

the Sliding Owl barked, indicating that they were training.

Ye Xiangting was stunned for a moment: “Training?”

“Yes, boss.” A staff member next to her smiled bitterly: “Didn’t you ask us to show the Fire Fang Dogs the video of Qiao Sang sending Fen Di to compete in the Master Challenge to boost their racial confidence? We showed it to them, but they also saw your recent interview. You said that Qiao Sang contracted Fang Bao because he saw it banging its head against a tree at the pet base, so he noticed it. These Fire Fang Dogs saw this news and suddenly all acted like this. We couldn’t stop them at all.”

Ye Xiangting: “…”

…

Yan Tianxing.

Tan Kingdom, villa.

At 8:30 in the morning, Xia Lala finished breakfast and took a watering can to water the green plants in the living room.

Suddenly, one of the potted plants’ green leaves shook.

“Qingqing!” Xia Lala’s eyes widened and she quickly called out, indicating that the guy was here again!

As soon as she finished speaking, another green leaf in the pot that hadn’t shaken turned yellow and withered without warning, then turned into powder and disappeared.

“Xunxun?”

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao teleported to the side and looked around. “

Where?

Where?” Ya Ya looked puzzled and called out, indicating that the “guy” was someone else.

“It’s the guy who came to find out about us.” Qiao Sang explained, then turned to Xia Lala and asked, “Where is it?”

“Qing Qing.” Xia Lala pointed to the potted plant and called out, indicating that it had left.

“It left pretty quickly.” Qiao Sang remarked, then, as if remembering something, analyzed, “Both times it was attached to plants, so it seems to be the same pet as yesterday. It looks like it’s a grass-type.”

Michaela sat on the sofa, drinking milk, and said,

“Not only grass-type, but also psychic-type.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she asked, “You know which pet it is?”

Michaela smiled and said, “I not only know what kind of pet it is, but I also know which guy’s pet it is.”

Impressive, finding out so quickly… Qiao Sang showed admiration and asked, “How did you know?”

“My target is the contestants from Yulianton University and Yuanzhou University,” Michaela said calmly. “As long as we find out who their instructors are, it’s easy to find out based on their respective pets’ abilities.”

“So who sent them?” Josang asked.

“Yuanzhou University,” Michaela replied.
