n“Exhibition match?” Luo Guxue had just returned from the barren area. Su Ping’s answer reminded her that such an event had taken place that day. The feeling of satisfaction triggered by their encounter quickly vanished. She was disappointed. She had thought that Su Ping had accepted her invitation to become a teacher. After all, the Vice Principal was there to see him out in person, and they were talking happily.

nAt the same time, she was confused. Usually, no outsiders were invited to the exhibition match. Only students and their families could participate. What is Su Ping doing here?

nDong Mingsong asked with surprise, “Mrs. Luo, do you know him?”

nLuo Guxue came back to her senses and nodded. “Mr. Su saved my life. Thanks to Mr. Su timely rescue I was able to come back from the barren area.”

n“The uncultivated area?” Dong Mingsong was baffled and so were the others including Feng Baili. They looked at each other and then cast their glances at Su Ping. This guy had visited the barren area? What did it mean when Luo Guxue said he went to her rescue?

nThey weren’t familiar with Luo Guxue. That being said, Luo Guxue was the main member of Team Polaris, and they knew each other. If Luo Guxue, who was at the intermediate position of the seventh-rank, was in danger, then only a battle pet warrior at the peak of the seventh-rank or the eighth-rank could have helped her. How could Su Ping save her?

n“Tell me. What is that about?” Dong Mingsong asked, curious.

nThe others darted glances of curiosity at her as well.

nFor all this time, Luo Guxue had been grateful to Su Ping for this matter. She told them about how they had been attacked by the Magical Corpse Beast. At the end of the story, she expressed her gratitude to Su Ping once more. “Mr. Su, I will gladly repay your kind help. You can come to me for anything you may need me for.”

nSu Ping was speechless. He could have made a quick escape; he just wanted to go back home. However, when Luo Guxue told the story, he couldn’t just cut her off. Being under the heated and shocked gazes of those present, he felt he was a gorilla of a rare kind. He said with a bitter smile, “Well, you guys go on. When you’re free, come to my store but please remember to take enough money with you.”

nThe others came back to their senses but they were still stunned. Su Ping, who was most likely around the age of 20, could defeat a Magical Corpse Beast. Really? Not to mention that the Magical Corpse Beast was one that had learned ninth-rank pet skills.

nDidn’t this practically imply that Su Ping was not weaker than them?

nThey didn’t doubt Luo Guxue’s words. After all, she had her pride and fame. She didn’t need to make up a story and lie to them. Simply put, this matter was astonishing, and unimaginably queer. Su Ping had the age of a student. It was rare to achieve what Ye Hao and Su Yanying had accomplished at this age. If everything went on smoothly, in the future, those two could become advanced battle pet warriors; even becoming eighth-rank master battle pet warriors would be possible!

nHowever, Su Ping had already reached that level when he was about their age. If Ye Hao was called a talent, then what was Su Ping? A freak?

nWhile everyone was still numbed by shock, Su Yanying fixed her eyes on Su Ping. She couldn’t reconcile the image of this young store owner who idled away in his store all day long with that powerful warrior, one that could kill a Magical Corpse Beast at the upper position of the eighth-rank. Su Yanying knew that Su Ping was mysterious and most likely there was a master trainer in his pet store. She was willing to believe when someone told her that he was a talent. That being said, with the strength to kill a Magical Corpse Beast of the upper position of the eighth-rank… he was more than a talent. He was a mature, powerful warrior that could take charge by himself!

nTo become such a strong man, in addition to talent, their efforts were also extremely important. Yet, the way Su Yanying saw Su Ping was that it seemed he just squandered time at the store, single-mindedly trying to make money.

nHow could someone like him be this strong?

nNoticing that Su Ping was about to leave, Luo Guxue said in a hurry, “Mr. Su, last time, I mentioned about you coming here as a teacher. What do you think?”

nSu Ping answered, “Well, I’m still thinking.”

nDong Mingsong was stunned. Luo Guxue had invited Su Ping to come as a teacher. Given Luo Guxue’s identity as an advanced teacher, she did have such a right. Dong Mingsong blushed as he remembered how he had invited Su Ping to become a student. Su Ping was someone that could kill an eighth-rank monster. If he were a student there, who would have the right to mentor him?

nSecretly, he gave Luo Guxue a look of praise. She acted fast, a true testament that he was the one who trained her.

n“Mr. Su, I’m sorry if I have offended you.” Dong Mingsong put on a smile at once to help Luo Guxue. “I didn’t know that you were so brave and heroic. We have been wrong about your strength. Please forgive us. Mr. Su, if you’re interested in becoming one of our teachers, I’m more than happy to see that happen. Given your strength, you can become an advanced teacher in this academy, just like Mrs. Luo. I will make sure that the treatment is to your satisfaction.”

n“Honestly?” Su Ping was intrigued. He had been hesitating about this offer. So, he questioned, “What are the benefits?”

nDong Mingsong smiled. He had seen this young man through. He was just a punk that would be bent solely on profit. Talking business with a guy like this was easy as long as the benefits were enough. Someone self-conceited and insolent on account of talent would be troublesome to deal with considering personal quirks.

n“Oh, there are quite many benefits. For example, the advanced training method for astral power in the collection of the academy, some advanced battle pet skills, and some potions with special effects. Besides, you will be qualified to join some of the auctions. The items sold at those auctions aren’t even found at the explorer’s warehouses. There’s no harm to have a few more identities,” Dong Mingsong persuaded Su Ping with a kind smile.

nAfter hearing this, Su Ping became interested. He had to admit that Dong Mingsong had gone straight to the point, as if he clearly knew what he desired.

nSu Ping asked, “What do you need me to do?”

nThis was kind of a silly question. However, since Su Ping had put forward this question, there had to be a specific meaning. Dong Mingsong picked up the cue at once. “An advanced teacher has an easy job. You don’t have to go to class to give lectures every day. You can just teach one class per week. The rest of the time will be up to you. It’s very free. You can tell this from how Mrs. Luo handles herself. She is invested in exploring uncultivated lands. That should be regarded as her main responsibility.”

nLuo Guxue forced a smile and said, “Vice Principal, don’t make fun of me.”

nSu Ping didn’t know that the job would be this easy. He thought about it and nodded. “I see no problem, then.”

nDong Mingsong was overjoyed. “Good. I will prepare the contract for you right away. From now on, Mr. Su, you will be an advanced teacher in our academy.”
