Chapter 187 - East Capital Heavenly Abyss University
A day later, at the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar"s Green Bamboo Residence in the fifth Scarlet Wilderness territory which was managed by Wei Ya.
"Senior, I"ll take my leave now. Please take care of these girls; thank you very much." Su Bai bowed in grat.i.tude.
The dozen or so girls he had rescued from the trafficker in Sunset City would temporarily stay at her place. The Card Queen promised to help send them home as he really did not have the time to do it himself.
"Go on. Remember to treat Ruoxue better." Wei Ya nodded.
He nodded, too, and turned to leave.
"Erm… Benefactor, may we know your name?"
A girl suddenly asked aloud, and the other girls at the door also looked at him gratefully, hoping to know his name.
Each of these girls was beautiful and young. At this time, without despair and fear in their eyes, they looked as beautiful as cherry blossoms.
Su Bai stopped and smiled at the girl. "Go back and live a good life. There"s no need to repay me."
After speaking, he strode away. Even his current appearance was fake, so he naturally would not leave his name. He did not have any intentions of interacting with these girls he casually encountered.
He left the Bloodthirsty Vine Bazaar and released the cub.
Ah Bai, do you need me to carry you? asked the cub while preparing to turn into its big white cat form.
"Thank you." He nodded.
"Howl~" I"m happy to serve you~
It licked his cheek affectionately.
Su Bai caressed it and then got onto its back. The cub shook its head and ran forward.
An hour later, they came to the spatial door.
Purple Jade put him down and turned into Limitless Beauty to hold his hand. I"m hungry. Can you feed me?
Its eyebrows were crooked coquettishly, and its big purple eyes stared at him with a smile.
Smiling, he shook his head helplessly and took out a box of ointment to feed it.
"Howl!"
It happily ate the food handed over, slathering saliva all over his hand.
"Can you eat properly and not get saliva on me?" He glanced helplessly at it. The elf was really like a little girl.
Then I"ll just lick you clean. Who told you to have fingers that smell of medicinal cakes?
The elf pouted and grabbed his hand to continue licking as if it were licking an ice cream.
Su Bai: "…"
"Let"s go. You should return to the contract book first. I have to go out." When the elf finally released his hand, he pointed to the spatial door in front of him.
Alright, then. Remember to release me early. The elf nodded helplessly.
After keeping it in his contract book, he stepped out and appeared in the bustling downtown the next instant.
Looking around, he decided to eat first.
He took a few steps before messages bombarded his phone. He had been away for too long and had missed too many messages.
"Boss, I want a big bowl of belt-shaped noodles."
He ordered his meal before checking his messages.
He opened a text message to see that he had been admitted to East Capital Heavenly Abyss University.
East Capital Heavenly Abyss was one of the top ten pet universities in the world and could be ranked among the top three.
Heavenly Abyss referred to its establishment address next to the Heavenly Abyss crack, one of the ten largest cracks in the world. After the establishment of the Pet Alliance, with its proposal, various countries and some top gymnasiums and forces jointly established the first batch of pet universities which were constructed right next to the biggest s.p.a.ce crack, so it was also named after that.
East Capital Heavenly Abyss was located where the Kunlun Mountains originally stood. The largest investors were Fuyao Gymnasium and the Hunting Hall, of which the headquarters were also beside the Heavenly Abyss crack.
Fuyao Gymnasium was established by Fang Ziyu, the first chairman of the Pet Alliance. East Capital Heavenly Abyss could be said to be the most attractive university among the top ten.
Of course, the others were not inferior, but after several rounds of discussion with Chen Ruoxue, they had chosen that university.
He already knew about being accepted by the university a few days ago because Chen Ruoxue had informed him, but this was the first time he had seen the notification from the university itself.
This still made him happy.
He scrolled down to look at the other messages, which were a bunch of advertis.e.m.e.nts and some people asking him to pick up advertis.e.m.e.nts.
He opened WeChat and saw more than twenty friends who had added him, all of whom were looking for him to pick up advertis.e.m.e.nts.
His perfect reputation could still be used to make a lot of money.
Other than that, the other messages were blessings and inquiries from his teachers and students, but he suddenly stopped as he scrolled down. He saw the message from Hou Jie: [I"m leaving; don"t miss me. I will experience the world. Goodbye to my best student.]
[Goodbye!] Su Bai silently sent his blessings.
He then saw Hou Lan"s message. [Su Bai, something happened. My grandfather died suddenly. The new master led the family to the w.a.n.gs, one of the top five families. The young master of that family, w.a.n.g Yize, took a liking to my sister and proposed a marriage.
[My uncle directly agreed without my sister"s consent, but my sister seemed to have known the news in advance. You must be careful; they"re likely to ask you about my sister"s whereabouts.]
Su Bai was shocked upon seeing this message and was almost scared to death. Upon learning that, in the month he had been absent, Hou Jie had suddenly been forced to marry out of politics, and when combined with her message, he instinctively thought that she had committed suicide.
Until he saw the second half sentence, he realized that Hou Jie had run away. That was great news to him.
This was how it should be; it was best to run away from such a s.h.i.tty political marriage.
However, with the numerous s.p.a.ce cracks on Blue Planet, he did not believe that the two families were so impressive they could find her.
It was just that he felt quite disappointed at the thought of not seeing Hou Jie for a long time. No wonder she had asked him to go out to play during the college entrance examination; she had actually been saying goodbye.
Sighing, he took a sip of tea, took the bowl of noodles from the boss, and started eating with big mouthfuls.
After eating, he found a place to change back to his original appearance and then took a taxi to the Blue Moon Cultivation House. However, the previously prosperous place was now bleak and desolate. Fallen leaves littered the place, the door was shut, and a message saying it was temporarily closed was stuck on the door.
It seemed like when Hou Jie ran away, Hou Lan had been inevitably caught back to his house.
He sent a message to Hou Lan, and it turned out that he had been locked up by his family as he expected.
Sighing, he turned and walked back.
Where there were people, there were cla.s.ses and capital. This world was not that bad, common people still had a chance. Once they were strong, they could ignore the existence of these things.
Thus, he would strengthen himself silently.
Back in Carp Town, Su Bai returned home to rest for the day before he would find Chen Ruoxue. Three more days were left before the start of the National League Tournament.
"Please wait a minute; we are search officers from the Alliance. Please cooperate with the investigation."
On the way home, he was stopped by four people with certificates in their hands.
"Cooperate with what investigation?" He stopped and asked the four people.
"Hou Jie, the eldest daughter of the Hou Corporation, had close contact with you before she disappeared. Please tell us her whereabouts," said the four people blankly.
"I don"t know; you can use polygraph skills if you don"t believe me." He spread his hands.
The four did suspect him so they used polygraph skills to test him. The result was the same as he said; he had not lied.
"Can I go now?" he asked blankly.
"No, you have to tell us your whereabouts in the last month." The four stopped him.
"That is my privacy. Is it related to what you are investigating?" He narrowed his eyes.
"We suspect that this matter has something to do with Hou Jie"s disappearance. If you don"t tell us, we have the right to detain you."
Su Bai laughed. "Do you think I don"t understand the law?"
"More than that, we also suspect that you illegally possess a blood monster banned by the Alliance. Please come with us. It is best not to resist, or you will have to bear the consequences."
They released four commander monsters, wanting to arrest him by force.
Ignoring these people, he took out his mobile phone to call his master.
"It"s utter bulls.h.i.t, I"ve never heard of cases where they could take a person away just based on a suspicion. If they dare to do it, you can punch them hard without mercy," Gao An said nonchalantly over the phone.
"Yes, master. I understand." Su Bai hung up silently and then walked forward with his hands in his pocket.
"Stop! I told you to stop, do you hear?"
He ignored them and continued walking forward.
"G.o.d Wind Dog, chase him!" shouted the man in front angrily.
At this time, Su Bai suddenly turned around and opened his contract book to release the dino.
"Roar!" I"ll destroy you!
The Little Tyrant raised its claws and hurled two blighted fireb.a.l.l.s. With two loud bangs, two mushroom clouds rose in the air.
"You"re blatantly violating the rules of the Alliance; hurry up and stop!" shouted the four men, shocked by the terrifying explosion.
The dino completely ignored them and only raised its claws to throw out more blighted fireb.a.l.l.s. It had countless fireb.a.l.l.s in its stomach and was not worried of exhaustion.
Bang bang bang!
"This is illegal; how dare you! Aren"t you afraid of being put on the wanted list? Stop!" yelled the four men as they ran away.
Their pets chased and ran around, and these four people were also in a panic.
Bang bang bang!
Su Bai completely ignored them, though, and only let the dino bombard them continuously.
"F*ck! Who is he? He"s so strong."
"Is this the World War II battlefield?"
"Is this the battle of elite Pet Tamers? It"s terrifying!"
"Oh, my G.o.d. That person seems to be Su Bai, the top scorer in the college entrance examination this year. Doesn"t it look like him? The person being chased by him seems to be a search officer."
"Wow, he"s really Su Bai! Who"s this? A search officer? He doesn"t look like it, though…"
A group of people, who had heard the commotion, came over to watch the show and were shocked senseless by the terrifying battle scene that they usually could not see at all.
Some people recognized him and were shocked by his strength. It was no wonder he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Soon, the area where the four were seemed to have been hit by a nuclear bomb. Their pets had also fallen to the ground, half dead.
If the four men had not escaped so quickly, they would have ended up like their pets.
They still did not understand how Su Bai dared to do this. They were search officers sent by the Alliance, but he actually dared to attack them. Was he not afraid of being wanted by the whole Alliance?
The group of spectators gloated over their misfortune. They deserved it; it was so shameful to be beaten so badly four-on-one.
At this time, the Pet Administration Bureau received the report and came over only to be shocked by the terrifying battle traces.
"Stop, please come with us; you have endangered public safety." The leader of the security management team bit the bullet and walked toward Su Bai.
"They started it first; I was just protecting myself." He shrugged.
"h.e.l.lo, comrade, we are search officers from the Alliance. This person has seriously violated the rules of the Alliance by openly firing at us."
The four people here quickly took out their search certificates.
"We haven"t received any news of the arrival of search officers. You can talk to us after returning to the bureau."
These few people took him away without any expression.
Half an hour later, he walked out of the bureau unharmed, while the four search officers were detained.
They had no doc.u.ment transfer order, private cross-border law enforcement, or evidence, yet their first action was to hurt people, so they had to be dismissed.
Su Bai also understood that these people were actually expendable soldiers. Some people still refused to give up on the Ancestor Blood Dragon and wanted to cheat him with this incident. If they succeeded, they would earn, but it would not matter if they failed, since these people were meaningless.
Who cared about the four irrelevant people?
The Pet Alliance might not even admit to mobilizing them.
In the past two years, the relationship between the Pet Alliance and the other countries had become increasingly tense.
"Sure enough, it"s you. Are you okay? I heard my second uncle say that you were taken away, so I came here to confirm if it"s really you." Yang Zhou ran over from a distance.
"I"m alright. It"s just that someone found trouble with me but ended up being beaten up by me. They started the fight first." He shrugged.
"Hahaha! They"re so unlucky; don"t they know your strength?" The other laughed. "Still, you are really amazing to be the nation"s top scorer with full marks.
"Even Chen Ruoxue scored full marks, too. You two have really shocked the whole school. This matter has been on hot search for several days already, and the videos of your previous battles have been picked out for various studies."
Su Bai was unaware that he and Chen Ruoxue had shocked the outside world by obtaining full marks.
"It"s okay; I was just displaying my normal strength." Su Bai smiled and shrugged.
"…That"s enough. You"ll force me to kill you if you keep pretending." Yang Zhou glared at him as if he would pounce on him if he continued.
"Haha! It"s good that you came. Let"s find a place and I"ll tell you the secret of your Little Conch." Su Bai smiled.
"Really? What"s the secret?" At the mention of this, the other boy immediately asked excitedly.
"It"s not a big secret. Your conch can actually undergo fusion and mutation, but the probability of death is very high."
He took out a paper and pen, then wrote the specific information for his friend.
"Dark Sea Killer? It"s that impressive?" Yang Zhou stared at the information on the paper.
"Of course, all monsters that have successfully merged and mutated aren"t bad. You can refer to the Bone Mantis King," he said.
"Wow, thank you so much, my dear friend! Let"s go; I"ll treat you to a big meal," said the other excitedly.
"I"ve already eaten, so it"s alright. I just came back from the monster wilderness after more than a month, so I"m eager to return home." Su Bai shook his head and rejected his offer.
"Alright, then. I"ll treat you to dinner another time. You"re so awesome, brother." Yang Zhou praised him.
"…Bye." He waved his hand and left.
"Oh, by the way, which college are you attending?" He took two steps forward and turned around to ask.
"Beihai University; isn"t it good?" Yang Zhou said with a smile. "If not for your supervision, I wouldn"t be admitted to such a good university."
"Why didn"t you enroll somewhere near East Capital Heavenly Abyss? There are several good universities nearby, right?" He wondered.
"It"s nothing, brother. I just wanna make a name for myself and not rely on you for everything." The other laughed.
"Okay, then." Su Bai was helpless. Yang Zhou had already enrolled and was successfully accepted into that school, so there was no way to change it now.
"Okay, goodbye for real now. I"m leaving; I"ll treat you to a meal another day. Actually, I was on a date earlier. I feel I"m about to succeed." Yang Zhou waved quickly while chuckling and quickly trotted away.
