In the dark villa, everything was extremely quiet.

Qin Xiaoxue had already returned Woodhead to the Beast Taming Space.

Then she whispered, "Xiao Lu, Xiao Xiao, come out."

There was no one around.

In the entire hall of the first floor of the villa, not even the slightest sound could be heard.

It was as if no one had come back at all.

However, Qin Xiaoxue knew her two roommates all too well. She had been living with them day and night at the Magic Capital Academy ever since she became a Beast Tamer three and a half years ago.

Faced with the silence of the room, Qin Xiaoxue could only continue, "There's no one else here besides me. Come on out now!"

Two seconds after her words, a voice finally came from the dark staircase:

"Xiao Lu, when do you think Xiao Xue will come back..."

"I have no clue!"

"Maybe something came up with the dean..."

"Eh, Xiao Xue, you're back already? Why didn't you turn on the lights?"

An exaggerated expression of surprise bloomed on Ling Xiaoxiao's face as the lights came on.

Qin Xiaoxue glanced at the two but couldn't be bothered with her roommates' overly dramatic acting. She didn't even acknowledge them and walked straight to the Meditation Room.

Lu Xiaolu and Ling Xiaoxiao exchanged a look before they jogged up to Qin Xiaoxue's side.

"Um...who is he?"

"Who?"

"I mean that Su Ping..." Lu Xiaolu's face turned red as she hastily pointed it out.

"Do you two have nothing to do at the Dueling Club and the Student Council?" Qin Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at them and then said, "He's next door now. If you're curious, go have a look."

"Huh?"

The duo exchanged another look and nodded in understanding.

Qin Xiaoxue was speechless. Clearly, the two girls had probably gotten the wrong idea again, but she couldn't be bothered to explain.

However, once Ling Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaolu opened up, they finally started to ask questions without any reservations.

"Xiao Xue, how old is that Su Ping really? How did you meet him?"

"Xiao Xue, what kind of Pet Beast did he use to pass the fifteenth wave of the elite challenge? Do you know?"

"Xiao Xue, is Su Ping going to enroll in our Magic Capital Academy next year? Can you get him to join the Dueling Club? I can give him my position as the vice president."

"Xiao Xue..."

"..."

Qin Xiaoxue felt as if there were ten thousand flies buzzing in her ears, repeating the name Su Ping. She had never imagined that one day this name would give her a headache.

Then, Miss Qin suddenly stood up.

"Xiao Xue, where are you going?"

"To sleep. I have things to do tomorrow."

"..."

Qin Xiaoxue indeed wasn't deceiving them; she really had things to do the next day.

She planned to discuss with Uncle Li the method Su Ping had given her—the somewhat modified Woodhead Evolution Cultivation Method—to see if they could give it a try.

「The night passed quickly.」

Qin Xiaoxue intended to say good morning to Su Ping, but when she saw that he was still sleeping soundly, she decided to skip breakfast together.

She hurried to a teaching building, didn't even ring the doorbell, and pushed the office door open directly.

The person inside was about to get angry, but when he saw it was Qin Xiaoxue, he immediately switched expressions and smiled.

This was a man around forty years old, with a peaceful face. Or rather, everyone in the academy would have a peaceful expression when they saw Miss Qin.

"Uncle Li!"

"Xiao Xue, you're here so early. Is there a problem with Woodhead?" Uncle Li looked concerned.

Qin Xiaoxue shook her head, sat down on the sofa in the office, and said, "This is the situation, Uncle Li. Yesterday, the old lady brought a Breeder from out of town to see me. He showed me the Evolution Cultivation Method for the Crown Wolf Emperor. He also pointed out a few potential issues and provided solutions. So I came to you to see, with your breeding experience and understanding of the Crown Wolf Emperor, whether there's any validity in it!"

Uncle Li was momentarily stunned, and then his brow wrinkled subconsciously.

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was Sang Sheng's granddaughter, he would have sent her away immediately. He was all too familiar with the Crown Wolf Emperor and believed that he had reached a pinnacle in breeding it. Yet now, someone claimed that a Breeder who just came from out of town pointed out problems at a glance and even solved them? Isn't that a joke?

However, Old Li quickly furrowed his brow again.

He caught on to something the next moment.

The old lady—meaning Lord Sang Sheng—had made the introduction? And... a Breeder from out of town? What kind of Breeder from out of town would even require Lord Sang Sheng's introduction?

Old Li was also a member of the Magic Capital Breeder Association, so he naturally knew what major event was going to happen in Magic Capital in a few days. This year's Breeder Competition will be hosted in Magic Capital! So, what does a Breeder from out of town represent? Never mind the Breeder teams from various provinces; even the Breeder Association headquarters in the Imperial Capital will send people. Naturally, among them, there will definitely be some truly remarkable individuals. For example, someone from the highest judging panel? Could a true master have arrived?
