Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 330 The Bird Wants to Fight! The Bird Wants to Battle!

Again.

I've never seen Grandpa treat any of their friends so politely before.

Even if this person is Qiao Bai... Professor Qiao Bai, something still feels off!

The relationship between the two sides is neither close nor distant, is it necessary to be so polite?

"My legs aren't very good, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have let you come all this way yourself," Old Master Shen said kindly, holding Qiao Bai's hand.

"I'm so sorry."

"Besides, it's really not easy for me to leave here."

Looking at Old Master Shen's polite and slightly ingratiating demeanor, Qiao Bai had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

They must need something from him.

She's not the same person as Shen Ruoyan.

Otherwise, Shen Ruoyan wouldn't have looked so surprised when she received the text message.

Following Old Master Shen's suggestion, Qiao Bai sat down in the seat to Old Master Shen's left.

"You're my elder, there's no need to be so polite with me," Qiao Bai said with a smile.

"Why don't you tell me what you need my help with first?"

Qiao Bai's tone was calm, as if he had known about this all along, and he showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

On the contrary, Old Master Shen looked a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

Next up was Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and a series of question marks appeared above her head.

Seeing Old Master Shen's expression, Shen Ruoyan immediately realized that Qiao Bai was right.

"Grandpa!" Shen Ruoyan practically turned into a screaming chicken on the spot, her voice becoming shrill as she called out.

Why didn't you tell me beforehand?!

"You've done this to me..." Shen Ruoyan frowned deeply and glared fiercely at Old Master Shen.

Grandpa Shen really wanted to glare back at his granddaughter for being so rude.

But thinking about what he had done... Old Master Shen suddenly felt guilty again.

That's true.

That's a bit unethical.

But this isn't... Old Master Shen awkwardly touched his nose.

"Well... well, it's true that I didn't say this beforehand. I'm really sorry, Professor Qiao Bai!" Old Master Shen couldn't bring himself to apologize to his own granddaughter, so he could only look at Qiao Bai with a full of apologies.

Shen Ruoyan rolled her eyes.

Feudal old man!

Shen Ruoyan muttered to herself, but she didn't lower her voice at all.

Everyone present heard what she said.

Old Master Shen's face darkened even more.

It was because he felt guilty that he couldn't stand up for himself.

"I contacted Professor Qiao Bai, but the research institute didn't reply. I thought I was rejected..." Old Master Shen said, leaning on his cane.

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer until it was completely inaudible.

Qiao Bai: "Uh..."

Qiao Bai paused for a moment, then continued, "You contacted me? Around when?"

Upon hearing Qiao Bai's question, Old Master Shen quickly gave a timeframe.

"At this time, I happen to be out of the research institute." Qiao Bai calculated for a moment and immediately realized that this was exactly when he went to the secret realm.

Sui Yu handled all the requests the research institute received, including sponsorship requests, invitations to be judges, requests for help, and visits.

Then, after Qiao Bai returned, they compiled and reported everything to him.

Then, Qiao Bai made different arrangements and handled different matters.

But... Qiao Bai hasn't gone back yet.

Sui Yu was naturally unable to contact Qiao Bai for the time being.

But the time in between isn't very long, is it?

It will take at most four or five days.

Thinking it over, Qiao Bai briefly explained the situation to Grandpa Shen.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen showed a look of sudden realization, and then looked at Qiao Bai with some embarrassment.

"Um... I wasn't aware of the situation, but it's really urgent, so I..."

Grandpa Shen looked very guilty.

Qiao Bai smiled.

Execute first, report later?

Did they lure people to their door?

Let's resolve this issue first?

Regardless of what Grandpa Shen was thinking, it did not actually affect or harm Qiao Bai.

"Let's not talk about that. Is there anything I can help you with?" Qiao Bai took the initiative to change the subject.

Hearing Qiao Bai's thoughtful inquiry, Old Master Shen couldn't help but shed tears.

nice guy!

What a wonderful person!

Grandpa Shen was just about to explain in detail.

"Please sit down first," Qiao Bai said with a hint of helplessness, looking at the elderly man who was still standing.

That pose!

It's like students reporting their work to their teachers.

And he was one of the teachers.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen smiled, and his gaze toward Qiao Bai became even more gentle and kind.

Seeing this, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but rub her arms: "I feel like I'm about to get goosebumps, can you see that?!"

As she spoke, Shen Ruoyan stretched out her arm in front of her younger sister, Shen Ruowan, asking her to take a look.

Shen Ruowan pushed her sister's hand away with a look of disgust.

"That's good enough for you."

Grandpa Shen glanced at the two sisters before turning back to Qiao Bai and speaking to her.

That's right.

After gathering his thoughts, Old Master Shen glanced at Fu Tianguang beside him, thought for a moment, and then told Qiao Bai the details of the situation without saying anything.

"Compared to many families that have existed for hundreds of years, our Shen family's heritage is not particularly long-lasting."

Old Master Shen didn't stand on ceremony and immediately revealed his family's secrets, yet his expression remained calm and composed.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

That's just the truth!

Qiao Bai didn't really care.

That's quite normal.

A Beastmaster is able to raise a very powerful pet that can be passed down through generations—like the Huo family's Alt Dragon, which later became the Argen Dragon King.

Contracting a pet beast brings blessings to future generations.

To ensure that future generations have a stable and powerful means of contracting.

With enough time and luck, a family of beast tamers with a rich heritage was naturally born.

As for how long it can last... that depends on whether its foundation is strong enough and whether its support system is up to par.

Upon hearing Grandpa Shen's words, Qiao Bai immediately thought of the special water-attribute pet resources that Shen Ruoyan had mentioned to him before.

Customization is also available.

Could it be that the Shen family has a very special pet beast?

The water-related type?

Grandpa Shen was unaware that Qiao Bai had already easily linked the two pieces of news together, and he continued speaking.

"But the reason we were able to settle down and live in such a complicated place as Hengshi is because our Shen family has a special pet beast."

As he spoke, Old Master Shen paused for a moment, paying special attention to Qiao Bai's expression.

then……

That was it.

Grandpa Shen couldn't see the slightest bit of surprise or astonishment on Qiao Bai's face, which he had been hoping to see.

It seems that what Grandpa Shen said wasn't important news; it sounded quite casual.

Old Master Shen: "..."

While feeling a little frustrated, I also inexplicably gained a tiny bit of confidence.

Yep.

There's really only a tiny fraction of it.

Professor Qiao Bai must have seen a lot of the world!

Only someone who can remain so calm!

If that's the case... then the Shen family's current predicament is definitely due to their decision to seek help from Professor Qiao Bai!

Thinking it over, Old Master Shen continued, "But a month ago, its health started to deteriorate, and it seemed to be getting worse."

As he spoke, Old Master Shen sighed, looking quite troubled.

"If something really happens to it..."

Grandpa Shen glanced at his two granddaughters, his expression becoming even more melancholy.

Not to mention, the Shen family would be finished immediately.

However, the resources available are definitely declining sharply.

Moreover, the burden on the shoulders of the Shen Ruoyan and Shen Ruowan sisters will suddenly become heavier.

Darth is conducive to the world.

Given the family's means, Mr. Shen did not care about the allocation of resources.

There's no need to be stingy; we're all on the same side.

But if something really happened to the clan's pet beasts... he thought that it was impossible to simply remain aloof when one is poor.

Even if the Shen family doesn't immediately cause a scene, things will definitely get chaotic once they leave.

As the most talented sisters of this generation, Shen Ruoyan and Shen Ruowan will undoubtedly be under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Watch them work hard, watch them strive for progress.

As he pondered this, Old Master Shen let out a long sigh.

The best outcome would be to resolve the immediate problem.

"Hmm..." Qiao Bai touched his chin upon hearing this, his expression showing a slight hesitation.

Old Master Shen's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Professor Qiao Bai is also...?

"Don't overthink it." Qiao Bai glanced at Old Master Shen's expression and immediately knew what he was thinking.

Qiao Bai gently comforted Old Master Shen, then said, "Whether I can help you, and how, we'll have to wait until I examine the pet's condition to determine the specifics."

"What you've said only gives me a general idea of ​​the situation; I don't know the current state of affairs."

"If it's alright, can I see this pet now?"

As he spoke, Qiao Bai looked at Old Master Shen.

"Huh...?" Old Master Shen paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Sure, sure! I'll take you there right now!"

Qiao Bai: "?"

A hint of doubt crept into Qiao Bai's eyes.

What's going on here?

As soon as Old Master Shen saw Qiao Bai's expression, he guessed what Qiao Bai was thinking, and he coughed twice.

"It was an elder's pet, not mine."

Qiao Bai suddenly realized.

At the same time, I felt a surge of curiosity and eagerness to try it out.

Hey?

He had encountered situations where the beast tamer had passed away, but the pet remained in the house...

last year?

The year before last.

Professor Ge, who was once referred to him for help, was in a similar situation.

His wife passed away, but her pet animal remained.

Professor Ge is not a beast tamer, and he is powerless to stop or deal with the Noisy Flower that is about to evolve.

The relationship between an ordinary person and a pet that has lost the control of its master is like that between a stranger and a tamed but unleashed pet.

And it's not just any ordinary pet.

It's the kind of pet with extremely strong attack power, but it doesn't attack because the pet itself is enduring and restraining itself.

It's very mysterious.

It's also difficult to evaluate.

Professor Ge's wife's pet beast has temporarily returned to the forbidden area, seeking a way to control itself.

Qiao Bai was a little curious.

How exactly did this pet beast of the Shen family, now free from the constraints of its beast tamer, manage to stay obediently in the Shen family and continuously provide them with blessings and protection?

Qiao Bai wanted to see if he could learn anything from this experience.

They could just pack up and go.

The Shen sisters and Fu Tianguang were also brought along.

Shen Ruoyan and Shen Ruowan both had shining eyes and looked very excited.

Seeing this, Fu Tianguang couldn't help but ask with a hint of curiosity, "Isn't this your pet? Why are you two so excited?"

They act like they've never seen the world before!

Considering that the other man's grandfather was walking ahead, side by side with Qiao Bai, and the two were getting along like peers, Fu Tianguang refrained from saying the second half of his sentence.

Yep.

We're at someone else's house.

We should still be a little more polite.

"We really haven't seen him before." Hearing Fu Tianguang's words, Shen Ruoyan wasn't very angry.

On the contrary, he said it quite calmly.

Fu Tianguang: "???"

No?

My own family?

Never seen it before?

Don't you find something strange about that?

"What's the problem?" Shen Ruoyan's tone was very calm, not at all thinking that this was something to be angry about.

"That's an elder's pet beast, and it's not under the control of a beast tamer."

"It's one thing to know that this pet is very powerful."

"But it's another matter if you don't need to contact the other party."

Shen Ruoyan nodded as she spoke.

Yep.

That's the situation.

Fu Tianguang was stunned.

Don't say it.

Thinking about it carefully, that makes a lot of sense!

Since you know the pet is not on a leash, just avoid provoking it unless absolutely necessary.

However, this does not deter human curiosity; they still want to see the pet, and ideally, have a brief encounter with it—that would be perfect.

Fu Tianguang gave Shen Ruoyan a thumbs up.

Yep.

well.

He now understands Shen Ruoyan's feelings and thoughts very well.

Shen Ruoyan rolled her eyes at the sight.

No need.

This kind of understanding is really unnecessary!

This time, it didn't take an hour or half an hour.

Grandpa Shen led Qiao Bai on a slightly roundabout route to a spacious hilltop behind the house.

There were no obstructions on the surroundings, making it look very open.

What's special is that there's a small waterfall.

Qiao Bai looked left and right but couldn't see the pet. Just as Qiao Bai was about to ask,

Then, Old Master Shen pulled a whistle out from around his neck.

Qiao Bai subconsciously glanced at the whistle.

Its length is approximately the length of an adult male's index finger.

Its appearance has an old and rustic feel to it.

As for the texture... Qiao Bai couldn't say for sure; he couldn't tell much at a glance.

This isn't some supernatural being; you could tell if it has some kind of cheat code.

Old Master Shen whistled.

It clearly didn't look like they were using much force.

But the whistle produced a long, drawn-out sound that seemed to pierce the heavens.

Qiao Bai's body also paused for a moment.

It wasn't because the whistling sound was harsh or scared him.

Rather, it was because... for some reason, after hearing the whistle, Little Crow, who had been quietly staying in the Beast Taming Space of his Spiritual Sea, suddenly became restless.
