Chapter 74 Intuition and Tie Lao

After giving a reply to Xue Huaiyu, Li Qian did not ignore the other two admissions teachers, but sent them a message.

Thank you for their affirmation.

Ai Xiaolian was fine, because she was the last one to arrive. In addition, she already believed that Li Qian had a serious bias towards Jiangnan Beastmaster University, so she was not surprised after receiving the text message.

Of course, regrets are inevitable.

As for the other person, Zhou Chubin, he was completely stunned after receiving the text message.

At this moment, his only thought was...how did the cooked duck fly away?

What followed was a deep sense of doubt and confusion: Why did the cooked duck fly away?

Since Li Qian did not choose Jiangnan Beast Taming University, he must have made a choice between Shazhou Beast Taming University and Mizhou Beast Taming University.

Is it true that beautiful women are so lethal?
Shaking his head, Zhou Chubin quickly denied the idea.

Others might still be influenced by beauty, but after interacting with Li Qian for a few days, he was more confident.

The other party should not be such a person. He is very rational and mature and does not look like a high school student at all.

It is unlikely that they would abandon their hometown and choose to go far away.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Zhou Chubin quickly ruled out the Mizhou Beast Taming University. Finally, he focused his attention on the Shazhou Beast Taming University, or to be more precise, Xue Huaiyu.

Before, when he saw the expressions on Xue Huaiyu's faces after communicating with Li Qian, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Unexpectedly, this bad premonition actually came true.

Without thinking too much, Zhou Chubin followed his instinct and dialed a number directly.

The owner of this number is none other than Xue Huaiyu.

The number was just added these few days.

The call was quickly connected. After hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Chubin got straight to the point and asked, "Teacher Xue, I'm really curious about what conditions your Shazhou Beast Taming University offered to Li Qian that made him choose to go to the Western Regions."

His words were both a question and a test, testing whether Li Qian had really chosen Shazhou Beast Taming University.

Feelings are just feelings after all. Until they are confirmed, they are just guesses.

The test did not last long, because on the other end of the phone, Xue Huaiyu quickly responded, "As expected of Teacher Zhou, you actually guessed our Shazhou Beast Taming University right away."

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Chubin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

Is this hard to guess?

That Ai Xiaolian from Mizhou who imitates you doesn't seem to have much competitiveness.

After snatching Li Qian away, Xue Huaiyu was in a good mood.

She smiled and responded, "I can't tell you the specific conditions, but what I can say is that we are sincere in recruiting Li Qian, and the conditions we offer are equivalent to recruiting a top training master!"

"Hi~!"

When Zhou Chubin heard the conditions stated by Xue Huaiyu on the phone, he couldn't help but take a breath.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

They thought that the conditions they offered were already very good.

However, there is still a gap compared to recruiting a top training master.

"No wonder he chose your Sand Island Beast Taming University. Your handiwork is really..."

Although Zhou Chubin didn't finish his words, his meaning was already very clear.

After that, he was silent for a moment, then continued to ask: "Is it worth it for you to pay such an exaggerated price?"

On the other end of the phone, Xue Huaiyu did not hide anything and told the truth: "Is it worth it? I don't know. From now on, it may not be worth it, but we are betting on his future."

"The most important thing is that everyone knows that our Shazhou Beast Taming University's weakness lies in training. Paying such a price is like buying a horse with a lot of gold."

"What a good idea to spend a fortune on a horse's bones. Maybe you are right. Our Jiangnan Beast Taming University lacks some courage after all." After hearing what Xue Huaiyu said, Zhou Chubin couldn't help but sigh.

After learning about the person Li Qian finally chose and having a rough idea of ​​the price paid by Shazhou Beast Taming University, Zhou Chubin did not continue chatting with Xue Huaiyu.

There was no point in continuing the conversation. After hanging up the phone, he murmured to himself, "Why do I always feel that one day we might regret it!"

It’s a pity that now, even if I regret it, it’s too late.

It is an indisputable fact that Li Qian has already chosen the Beastmaster University.

After receiving the text message from Li Qian and confirming the former's whereabouts with Xue Huaiyu, Zhou Chubin did not stay any longer.

After sending a message to Chu Xiran and explaining the situation, he left Lingshui City directly.

At about the same time, Ai Xiaolian also left Lingshui City.

Chu Xiran received the text message from Zhou Chubin, but did not respond. He just took a look at it and put the phone back into his pocket.

Zhou Chubin's text message, or, more precisely, the content of the text message, did not surprise him.

In fact, half an hour before receiving this text message, Li Qian had already called her and explained his decision.

For this, Li Qian apologized a little embarrassedly. After all, he did not choose Jiangnan Beastmaster University in the end.

After hearing this, Chu Xiran just smiled faintly and didn't mind.

She made her position clear without hesitation, "I am a graduate of Jiangnan Beastmaster University, that's true, but before that, I am first and foremost your teacher."

"As a teacher, I hope you can choose the path of development that suits you best. Now, you have made your own choice and it has not been influenced by me. I am so happy for you."

The two of them just exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone because Chu Xiran had more important things to do.

At this moment, she was in a private room of a Beast Taming Cafe not far from Lingshui City's Beast Taming High School.

In the private room, besides Chu Xiran, there were also Zhu Bingqing and Niu Fenjin.

When the three of them met, the expressions on their faces were somewhat serious.

"You should have heard about the explosion that happened the night before yesterday. As far as I know, there was another attack yesterday at noon. The attackers were still from the Ji Du Society, but they were disrupted in advance by the people from the Public Security Bureau, so there was no commotion." Chu Xiran began to explain the current situation.

Zhu Bingqing nodded and also spoke up, adding: "I have received accurate information from my family. The target of the Mechanical Conspiracy Society is likely to be the Sealed Land."

Niu Fenjin no longer had the carefree look of the past, and his expression had become very serious.

He speculated, "If we continue to let them probe, it won't be long before they find out that Taoyuan Villa in the northern suburbs is just a cover."

"If they change their target, they will find the real sealed place sooner or later."

"So what countermeasures do we have now?" Chu Xiran glanced at Zhu Bingqing and Niu Fenjin respectively.

Zhu Bingqing curled her lips and said helplessly, "We said that we were the guards arranged by the family. In fact, we are just three little minions standing guard. We can still deal with small threats, but for a cult as strong as the Xi Du Hui, what else can we do except report it to the family."

After that, he complained again, "I don't know what is sealed in here, and why it attracts the covetousness of the Mechanical Blasphemy Society."

"Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. We just need to do our own thing well." Zhu Bingqing ignored Niu Fenjin's complaints and directly expressed her thoughts.

In fact, this was also the task assigned to her by the family.

Always pay attention to the situation in Lingshui City and report any news as soon as possible.

This meeting did not last long. After a cup of coffee, the three of them left the Beast Tamer Cafe and went their separate ways.

Not long after they left, a young man dressed as a waiter and wearing black-framed glasses turned out from the corner of the door in the cafe.

He looked in the direction the three people left, and finally focused his attention on Niu Fenjin, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly reached out his hand, pressed the top edge of his black-framed glasses, and then abruptly said, "Huang Shiqi, it should be confirmed that the three of them are most likely the descendants of the family that guards the Sealed Land."

As soon as he said this, a line of words suddenly appeared on the mirror of his black-framed glasses in a field of vision that ordinary people could not see. "Then we will make the breakthrough through them."

……

The day after Zhou Chubin and Ai Xiaolian left, Xue Huaiyu also left.

Before leaving, she went to the training base and explained some things.

"... Someone will deliver the invitation letter written by the principal and the admission letter for special recruitment soon. You just need to report to Shazhou Beast Taming University on time after receiving them..."

Li Qian naturally agreed to this without hesitation.

Since he has already agreed to study at Shazhou Beast Taming University, he will not go back on his word.

Just three days after Xue Huaiyu left, an unprepossessing old man came to the training base.

The old man was thin and small, and looked no different from an old farmer.

It was this old man who brought Li Qian the invitation letter and special admission notice handwritten by the president of Shazhou Beast Taming University.

Besides that, he stayed.

Yes, he is the security guard arranged for Li Qian by Shazhou Beast Taming University, a beastmaster whose strength has reached at least the overlord level.

Honestly, I really couldn't tell.

From this point of view, it is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover.

But it’s better this way. The less good-looking one is, the easier it is to be ignored. At the critical moment, it may even have an unexpected effect.

As for the strength of this old man whose appearance was unrememberable, Li Qian had no doubt at all.

Because after the meeting, he saw a small red snake on the old man's shoulder.

Li Qian stared at it for a while before he remembered what kind of pet this was. It was a pet with overlord-level potential - the Hell Adder.

Dual attributes of dark and poison!
Moreover, from its fleeting aura, it can be judged that the strength of this Hell Adder is definitely beyond the commander level.

Eighty percent of them have reached the overlord level, but as to the exact level of overlord, it is unknown.

This is just one of the old man’s pets. With the old man’s strength as a overlord-level beastmaster, he must have contracted more than one pet.

From this, we can judge that the old man’s strength is definitely not bad, and he should not be the overlord level who just entered.

"May I know what your name is, senior?" After seeing the old man's strength, Li Qian's attitude became much more respectful.

"I'm just an ordinary security guard at Shazhou Beast Taming University. You don't have to call me senior. If you think highly of me, you can just call me Old Man Iron." The old man said calmly.

After he said that, Li Qian naturally didn't dare to really call him that. He removed the word "头" and Li Qian simply called him "铁老".

"Mr. Tie, I'm sorry to trouble you for the next three months." Li Qian did not dare to be arrogant and his tone was still very respectful.

As for the identity of the security guard that Tie Lao mentioned, Li Qian just listened casually and did not take it seriously at all.

Li Qian felt that it was unlikely to have a beastmaster who had reached the overlord level as a doorman, even if he was one of the Eight Great Ones.

With Tie Lao's joining, Li Qian can rest assured about his own safety.

Of course, this was not his purpose. Asking a overlord-level beastmaster to protect himself was, in fact, just a cover.

Ever since the last attack by the Xidu Society, coupled with the unrest in Lingshui City during this period, Li Qian instinctively felt that something might happen in Lingshui City next.

The reason why he asked Shazhou Beast Taming University to send people to protect him was actually to prevent any danger before it happens.

If anything really happens, with Mr. Tie here, he might be able to help at the critical moment.

After all, Lingshui City is where he was born and raised. If he could lend a hand at a critical moment, he would definitely not hesitate.

In this way, three days passed in a flash, and during these three days, Li Qian's feelings became stronger.

Because within these three days, two explosions occurred in the small city of Lingshui, and the explosion site had shifted from the northern suburbs to the western suburbs.

Although both explosions were covered up by the authorities with various seemingly reasonable excuses.

However, Li Qian, who had experienced similar things, saw it at a glance.

This was most likely an attack by the Mechanical Society.

Any normal person could tell that the evil forces would attack a small city like Lingshui in such a concentrated manner.

There must be something fishy about this!

Although he noticed something fishy, ​​Li Qian did not report or expose the matter.

I can see that there is something fishy going on, let alone the officials who have more information.

Maybe they already have a plan to deal with it.

After calming down, Li Qian still maintained his usual pace, learning cultivation knowledge while training Tan Tou and the others, and at the same time catching up on the knowledge of the Frost and Fire Formation under the guidance of Niu Fenjin.

By now, I know this magic circle like the back of my hand, but there are basically no problems with it.

Both the control and arrangement have reached a certain level. Just like that, unknowingly, Niu Fenjin's teaching has come to the last day.

But on this day, something strange happened.

It was already past ten in the morning, but Niu Fenjin still hadn't come to the training base.

"That's unlikely. It's already the last day. There's no reason to just skip work."

Li Qian knew that although Niu Fenjin seemed unreliable, he was actually quite trustworthy.

Once you have promised something, you will definitely see it through to the end.

Just as Li Qian was frowning and thinking, a phone call suddenly came.

The person who called was none other than Teacher Chu Xiran.

As soon as the call was connected, Teacher Chu Xiran's anxious voice rang out from the receiver, "Student Li Qian, is Niu Fenjin with you?"
