Chapter 61: Bull Vigor
Chapter 61: Bull Vigor
Night falls.
Adventurer Bar, adjacent to the Beast Market.
Chu Xiran and Zhu Bingqing, two stunning beauties, arrive and immediately attract attention.
Young men, especially the scruffy ones, can't help but notice them.
A young man with bright yellow hair approaches them, "Beautiful ladies, how about a drink?"
Others watch, expecting him to be snubbed.
But to their surprise, one of the beauties licks her lips and accepts, "Two Flame Iris Clouds."
A renowned strong liquor, and expensive—about 1000 yuan for two drinks.
Most Beast Masters in the bar can afford it, but buying and drinking are different matters.
Young male Beast Masters are envious yet surprised.
They could afford it too.
He snaps his fingers, orders two drinks, and asks, "What brings you here, beauties?"
"Actually, there is something," Zhu Bingqing points to an open private room.
After a while, in the room, she sips her drink and continues, "You must know about the incident at Peach Garden Manor?"
"Yes," he nods.
"What's your take on it?" Chu Xiran asks.
He shrugs, "What else can I do but watch?"
"Bull Vigor, don't be flippant. This is no simple matter," Chu Xiran frowns and clarifies, "The Machudui Society usually operates in big cities. Now their products are in Lingwater City."
"If it's an accident, it's fine. But if there's an ulterior motive, it's troublesome."
"Do you think they're after the Sealed Lands?" Bull Vigor, the young man with bright yellow hair, frowns.
Zhu Bingqing and Chu Xiran remain silent.
Obviously, they think so too.
"It's better to be cautious," Chu Xiran reminds him. "We must take this seriously."
"How?" Bull Vigor's frown deepens. "If it's a test by the Machudui Society, a heavy-handed response might backfire, confirming their suspicions."
"Let's observe discreetly first."
Chu Xiran sighs, "If their target is indeed the Sealed Lands, we must report it to the clan immediately."
"This is where our ancestors once fought..."
"A place they protected with their lives; we can't let anything happen to it."
Zhu Bingqing's eyes turn icy. "Those damn heretics will be uprooted."
Bull Vigor shares her indignation.
He remembers something and asks, "By the way, has the Federation or the Beastmaster Association been notified?"
"I've already informed them," Zhu Bingqing nods. "In fact, they should be the most concerned about the incident at Peach Garden Manor."
"I hope they'll take it seriously too." Chu Xiran was a little worried.
After chatting for a while, when their discussion on the matter was almost concluded, Zhu Bingqing suddenly changed the topic with a smile, "Niu Dubizi, I heard your expertise in formation arrays is quite impressive..."
"You know my abilities well enough," Huang Mao Niu Fenjin glared at Zhu Bingqing and spoke with determination, "And I've reminded you countless times, don't call me 'Niu Dubizi'. I have a name, Niu Fenjin!"
"Okay, Niu Fenjin!" Zhu Bingqing agreed readily.
"I..." Huang Mao Niu Fenjin almost couldn't hold back and was about to retort.
Considering that a gentleman doesn't argue with a lady.
And further considering that he had never won an argument with her, he decisively chose to back down, shifting his gaze to Chu Xiran.
Chu Xiran was indeed better, gentle and quiet, a true lady.
Unlike Zhu Bingqing, who appeared proud and cold, but in reality, she had the potential of a witch.
Seeing Niu Fenjin's flushed and speechless anger, Chu Xiran shook her head helplessly, "Alright, stop bickering. Actually, I have something to ask of you."
"What is it? Just tell me, your matter is my matter."
Upon hearing this, Niu Fenjin immediately became eager and approached her.
The difference in their treatment was glaringly obvious.
Ignoring Niu Fenjin's eagerness, Chu Xiran spoke in her usual tone, revealing the second purpose of her visit, "I came to see you today not only about the Machudui Society, but also for another matter that requires your help."
Without pausing, she continued, "I have a student..."
Next, Chu Xiran succinctly explained Li Qian's situation.
Of course, she didn't reveal that Li Qian had researched the evolutionary path from carp to green-scaled dragon.
She only mentioned that she needed his help in learning the Frostfire Formation.
"The Frostfire Formation?" Upon hearing Chu Xiran's request, Niu Fenjin fell into deep thought, "It's a bit challenging."
Zhu Bingqing immediately chimed in mockingly, "Can you do it, Niu Dubizi?"
"Setting up the Frostfire Formation is a bit difficult for me, but not too much." Niu Fenjin glared at Zhu Bingqing and spoke with a hint of arrogance, "But this is only for a genius like me. For ordinary people, without a solid foundation, it might not be easy to master."
"Just teach him, whether he can learn it or not depends on his own luck." Chu Xiran nodded, not demanding anything.
Moreover, she was well aware that with Li Qian's talent, learning it shouldn't be too difficult.
If he could master a more challenging evolutionary path, learning the Frostfire Formation shouldn't be too hard.
Next, Chu Xiran gave Niu Fenjin Li Qian's contact information, and the three of them prepared to leave.
As they were about to depart, Niu Fenjin eagerly approached again, "Hey, Xiran, I'll take you back to school."
"No need, we drove here ourselves," Zhu Bingqing jingled her keys, sounding a bit smug.
Chu Xiran smiled faintly, giving Niu Fenjin a grateful look before politely declining.
...
Three days later, at the Cultivation Base.
Li Qian looked at the yellow-haired man in front of him, his face filled with confusion.
The person recommended by Teacher Zhu Bingqing and Teacher Chu Xiran, why does he look so unreliable?
Although one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, this guy's demeanor was just too unreliable.
Could this person set up the Frostfire Formation?
