Chapter 77 Unstable Rift

Niu Fenjin's jaw almost dropped when he saw that the ten mechanical octopuses that were about to gather were blasted into pieces by Tie Lao's Wind and Thunder Lion with one skill.

This Wind and Thunder Lion has such strength, its level must have reached at least the Overlord level.

He found it incredible to think that an old man with an unremarkable appearance, who looked no different from the old man playing chess in the park next door, could actually be a overlord-level beastmaster.

Also, when did such a powerful beastmaster appear beside Li Qian?
It's only been a short time since we last met, how come there have been such huge changes!

Niu Fenjin found it incredible, and Zhu Bingqing and Chu Xiran were also surprised.

Zhu Bingqing stepped forward, and respectfully asked Li Qian, "Who is this?"

Li Qian chuckled and introduced, "Tie Lao, a senior sent by Shazhou Beast Taming University, who is temporarily responsible for my safety."

After introducing himself, he pointed at Niu Fenjin and said, "I think the most urgent thing is to solve Brother Niu's problem first. He doesn't look optimistic!"

Li Qian wanted to say that he looked like he was about to die, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated.

"An ambulance has been called and it should be here soon." Niu Fenjin glanced at his body, smiled sadly and said bitterly.

Since the ambulance had been called, the next step was to wait. Li Qian felt relieved. He looked at Tie Lao and asked, "Tie Lao, can you find the mechanic behind this?"

Tie Lao walked over, checked, and then said: "None of the ten robots just now showed signs of being contracted. The mechanics behind them should have controlled them through an AI virus, so reverse tracking is useless."

Zhu Bingqing also heard Tie Lao's answer, and then said angrily: "Those guys from the Xi Du Society are really cunning."

Just as they were talking, several cars from the Public Security Bureau came roaring in, and the one leading them was none other than Zhou Weiping.

Li Qian looked at Zhou Weiping and curled his lips, "Security Officer Zhou, you guys have come to our rescue again. You can just clean up the mess."

They are always like this, arriving late, and look like some JCs in Chinese movies in previous lives, always arriving after things are over, and then... sweeping the floor.

Zhou Weiping heard the teasing in Li Qian's words, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, we reacted a little slowly."

Li Chengyang was worried that Li Qian might say something he shouldn't say due to his youthful vigor, so he stepped forward with a smile and said, "It's not all your fault. After all, you have limited manpower and are responsible for the public security of the entire Lingshui City. It's normal for you to be late."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Bingqing took the opportunity to say, "But someone was so stupid that he was plotted against, ambushed, and set up without even realizing it. In the end, Xiran and I had to take action to save his life. What a loser."

It was obvious who her words were directed at, and it was just like pointing at someone and cursing. Niu Fenjin felt ashamed and embarrassed when he heard it.

If he hadn't been rescued by Chu Xiran and Zhu Bingqing working together this time, he really wanted to retort.

Not satisfied with just one sentence, Zhu Bingqing continued to talk, "I have reminded you several times to be more careful, but you just ignored it. Fortunately, only the pet was seriously injured this time, and no pet died in the battle, otherwise your life would be ruined."

Li Qian couldn't bear to see Zhu Bingqing scolding Niu Fenjin, so he interrupted and asked, "Teacher Chu, Teacher Zhu, what's going on?"

"This..." Zhu Bingqing hesitated when she heard this, not knowing how to respond. She turned her head and looked at Chu Xiran.

Chu Xiran also didn't know how to reply. She looked embarrassed and managed to force a smile. "Nothing... I just found out that the Mechanical Society was sabotaging, so I tried to stop them. I didn't expect that I would lose face because I didn't learn the skills well enough."

Although it was a long explanation, Li Qian was not stupid. He knew very well what was going on.

From Chu Xiran's evasive eyes and hesitant tone, it can be seen that she is obviously deceiving herself. Li Qian smiled and prepared to find a random excuse to pass it over.

Teacher Chu Xiran must have some unspeakable secrets, and he doesn't have to dig deep to get to the bottom of it.

And knowing some things may not be a good thing.

Just as he was about to casually mention it, Tie Lao had already seen something. He said calmly, "Don't ask them. If I'm not mistaken, they can't reveal a single word to you about this matter without the permission of the family elders."

Glancing at Li Qian, he continued, "And what this girl is trying so hard to hide is actually nothing to you."

"Once you enter Sand Island Beast Taming University, it will be at your fingertips, and it will be countless times better than what she has behind her."

Tie Lao's honest words made Chu Xiran even more embarrassed.

What's even more frustrating is that the three of them only know a general idea about this matter, and they may not know as much about the specific details as Tie Lao, an outsider.

The atmosphere at the scene came to a standstill because of Tie Lao's words, but fortunately at this moment, an ambulance came roaring in.

"Well, I'll take Niu Niuzi to the hospital. If he dies, at least someone will collect the body!" Zhu Bingqing spoke immediately when she saw the ambulance arriving, livening up the atmosphere.

It was this way of livening up the atmosphere that hurt Niu Fenjin so much that he almost passed out.

"You two, clean up the scene." After instructing his two men, Zhou Weiping was ready to leave. "Well, I have something else to do in the bureau, so I have to leave first."

"I have something to do at school..." Chu Xiran also found a poor excuse and prepared to leave the scene.

Li Qian found it funny when he heard this.

It’s the middle of the night. What could happen in the school or the bureau?

But he did not expose them and let them cover up their crimes.

"By the way, let me ask, what is the progress of Dazhuang's training?" Zhou Weiping asked before leaving.

Li Qian replied casually: "Good progress. Your koi has an outstanding talent."

According to the current accelerated progress, it will probably take about a week to start preparing for evolution.

The group of people left in a flash. Seeing this, Tie Lao said, "If my guess is correct, there should be an unstable rift hidden in Lingshui City!"

"Unstable rift?" Li Qian looked suspicious when he heard that. He was about to continue asking, but when he turned his eyes, he saw that Tie Lao had already walked away.

Obviously, he had no intention of speaking again to help Li Qian clear up his confusion.

Li Qian did not ask any more questions.

He believed that he should be able to find some information through the clue of "unstable rift" and there was no need to go to the bottom of it.
