Chapter 433 Misunderstanding
Whoosh!
In an instant, the titled battle pet warrior had arrived. It was a bulky man that seemed to be in his forties.
“What?”
He first took a glance at Ji Zhantang and Su Ping, then focused his gaze on Ji Zhantang.
He could tell the old man was an eighth-rank master battle pet warrior.
Was he a passenger?
He nodded to Ji Zhantang. He could tell from the surrounding chaos that the old man must have helped.
He also saw a half a human body in the distance. Was he too late?
“Sir, thank you for helping out.” The bulky titled battle pet warrior nodded to Ji Zhantang. “There is still a trace of smell from a ninth-rank beast. Did it escape?”
Ji Zhantang didn’t answer. He just darted a look at Su Ping No, the beast didn’t escape.
It was… eaten up by the young man’s battle
pet!
It didn’t occur to the bulky titled battle pet warrior that Ji Zhantang would dart a look at Su Ping before answering the question. The titled battle pet warrior also saw the huge Purple Python, noticing that it was much larger than it should be. But he didn’t pay attention because it was just a sixth-rank Purple Python after all, nothing much.
“The beast has been taken care of,” Su Ping said to the titled battle pet warrior who was casually looking his way.
Taken care of?
The titled battle pet warrior couldn’t believe this. He sensed the presence of the ninth-rank beast so he hurried over. It took him merely a few seconds to arrive. How could the ninth-rank beast be taken care of?
Not even a titled warrior could have done that!
Stunned, the bulky titled battle pet warrior glanced over and soon saw the bloodstains on the railway. The blood belonged to the Poison Claw Dragon.
That was the ninth-rank beast he had noticed. Was the beast injured here?
But since there was no corpse to be seen, he believed the beast must have run away.
Was it forced away by the old man and the young man working together? When the bulky titled battle pet warrior turned his sight back to Ji Zhantang and Su Ping, he was looking at them with respect. Neither of them was at the ninth-rank, and yet they could cooperate to defeat the Poison Claw Dragon, which was proof of their strength.
“I am Wu Tianming. Thank you for helping.” The bulky titled battle pet warrior was sincere. It was not only because of their strength. The fact that the two of them were willing to step out had demonstrated their kindness and courage. Wu Tianming had to respect that.
Ji Zhantang waved his hand.
He felt extremely flattered to be thanked by a titled battle pet warrior.
But Su Ping was not. He just asked, “How is the train doing? Can it continue the journey?”
Wu Tianming shook his head. “Hard to say. I am not quite sure. I will come and find you after I defeat all the other damned beasts. Please help to protect this cabin.”
He finished his words.
He cupped his fists to show his appreciation again.
Without waiting for Su Ping and Ji Zhantang to reply, the bulky man dashed away to check other places.
After the bulky man left, Ji Zhantang turned to Su Ping with a complicated feeling.
He hopped off from the Thunderhorn Dragon and forced a bitter smile. “Hey, I didn’t know you were so capable. We ended meddling when we shouldn’t have, back then in the cabin.”
Su Ping would be considered powerful even among all eighth-rank battle pet warriors. When the Red Phantom Dog was trying to attack him, Su Ping could have subdued the dog easily without Ji Zhantang’s granddaughter helping.
Su Ping put away the Purple Python as he replied, “You flatter me, sir. You and your granddaughter are ready to help others for a just cause. I will remember your kindness.” Ji Zhantang nodded. Su Ping was free from arrogance and impetuosity. What a kind and powerful young man. He had only heard about such young people studying in the Valiant Academy, but never did he think he would be able to meet such a young man in real life. Su Ping didn’t linger outside since all the beasts had been scared away. He and Ji Zhantang went back into the cabin together.
The chaos had quieted down. Everyone in the cabin was relieved when Ji Zhantang returned. Ji Qiuyu had been worried about her grandpa. She was finally able to relax the moment she saw him. She immediately threw herself to his arms.
The others were eyeing the old man with respect. Someone asked, “Sir, are all the beasts outside… dead?”
The others were looking at him with anticipation.
Ji Zhantang looked at the crowd and nodded. “Some died, and some ran away. Just now, a titled battle pet warrior came, and he is now helping out other cabins. I believe it will soon pass.”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
A titled battle pet warrior had just been there. Just above them!
That made many people feel more secure.
“You are a true hero, sir!” someone said first.
“You are our hero!”
“Welcome back, hero!!”
The others followed suit and shouted in excitement.
One would only learn how beautiful the world was when they were saved in a disaster!
People were born with an evil nature, but they would only remain evil in their daily lives when each of them tried to cheat the other. But in front of a disaster, they all knew that they had to rely on each other!
Ji Zhantang was a bit embarrassed.
He knew that he hadn’t been able to help much. The most violent and cruel Poison Claw Dragon had been killed by Su Ping; it was his battle pet, the strange Purple Python, the one that drew the beasts’ attention away from him.
Ji Qiuyu left her grandpa’s arms. The cheers had left her in a good mood. She was proud of her grandpa.
Soon, she noticed Su Ping was standing next to her grandpa.
Anger and coldness immediately surged from her eyes.
Previously, Su Ping had willfully run out the moment he saw that crack on the roof. She had seen it all. How could that non entity still be alive?
“How dare you come back.”
Ji Qiuyu snorted. She was straightforward, never having learned to mince her words. Just like with that girl who had allowed her dog to hurt people, Ji Qiuyu was not showing any kindness to Su Ping.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
Ji Zhantang was startled. “Shut up. You cannot call him that!”
Ji Qiuyu was surprised that her grandpa would defend Su Ping
At the same time, the others had seen Su Ping as well. They all pulled long faces. “Miss Ji is right. Sir, you didn’t have to save this timid person.”
“Right. I saw how he was the first one to run away.”
“Hmm, what gives? The first one to run away is always the first one to die, but this punk got lucky. You really should thank the great sir, you know?”
Ji Zhantang was filled with apprehension upon hearing those words.
He was aware of how terrifying the young man was. He could grow to be a titled battle pet warrior in the future!
As people were saying more and more rude words, Ji Zhantian raised his hand and hushed everyone. He solemnly explained, “Listen, this… the man has helped, and that is why the beasts are gone. He is the one who helped kill the leader of the beasts, a ninth-rank beast!”
He wanted to introduce Su Ping, only to realize that he did not know the latter’s name. He could just use a generic name.
Ji Zhantang’s remark stunned everyone.
Ji Qiuyu found it beyond logic. “Grandpa, what did you just say? Did you say that… he also helped?”
Ji Zhantang forced a smile. “Not just helped. He made great contributions!”
Ji Qiuyu eyed Su Ping with doubt. This guy had run out just to help?
Did I misunderstand him?
The others sized up Su Ping. None believed that this young man could offer much help in defeating the vicious beasts, not to mention when there was a ninth-rank beast, like Ji Zhantang mentioned. What could the young man do to that kind of beast?
