Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 626: Chapter 289: The Final Result! Where Did Things Go Wrong?_2

Of course, it wasn’t some nonsensical, idiotic romance, but reverence!

At this moment, she even forgot about the minor detail Su Ping had mentioned. After completing the signing, she walked out of the elevator in a daze and returned to the second floor. She didn’t have to wait like Su Ping for it to end. After all, it might still take some time, and perhaps there would be better options than the Night Raven Scarecrow. So, she could go back to the second floor to rest and wait.

Sure enough, as Jian Yue returned, Su Anyong’s voice also came from the speakers, “Please invite the third Breeder up…”

A group of people quickly surrounded her.

“Jian Yue, how did it go?”

“Jian Yue, what exactly is the trial about? Does it require a multi-faceted assessment, or does it only test one aspect?”

“Jian Yue, are you confident…”

“…”

Looking at the figures crowding around her, Jian Yue gave a slight smile. But in her heart, she felt some disgust.

Of course, she knew their purpose. To become a Breeder for the Special Beast Taming Forces meant not only honor and qualifications but also countless tangible benefits. It was real resources. Such Special Beast Taming Forces would have unimaginably abundant resources for the Cultivation aspect. In the end, it was all about benefits.

However, Jian Yue used to be the same; in a world bustling with activity for self-interest, it was normal. But now, she had a different feeling. These old fellows, what right did they have to talk behind Su Ping’s back or even ridicule him?

Nevertheless, Jian Yue wasn’t the type to confront them directly; she just nodded indifferently, “It went pretty well, I suppose. As for the assessment content, sorry, I signed a non-disclosure agreement, so it’s inconvenient to reveal it.”

Jian Yue didn’t say much more and walked out of the crowd.

Sitting in a seat to the side, she zoned out.

Even she could see that among the crowd, the gazes of several seniors turned towards her with some dissatisfaction. But Jian Yue didn’t care. She now finally understood Su Ping’s state of mind. The so-called connections formed by some of these people were meaningless. Their thoughts and words couldn’t affect her or bring her any help. Being a Breeder, in the end, was very much an individual matter. Flocks of sheep move together, while fierce beasts walk alone? That wasn’t quite right either.

Jian Yue shook her head and decided not to think about it any further.

A Genius Breeder like him wasn’t so easy to comprehend, was he? However, an ordinary person like her could quickly find ways to enjoy herself even in difficult situations, finding some very interesting things to do! For instance, right now, she was eagerly anticipating the expressions on the faces of those who had previously been muttering about Su Ping, even spreading rumors that he had left early, if they went upstairs and saw that fellow sitting on the judging panel.

Undoubtedly, her intuition was correct.

The third person soon went upstairs. It was a Breeder known for his gossipy mouth. Facing everyone’s expectant gaze, he slowly entered the elevator.

However, just as Jian Yue was savoring her drink, waiting for the priceless expression on his face when he came down, Su Anyong’s voice rang out from the speakers again, “Please invite the fourth Breeder up!”

Was it over?

“Where’s Old Fang? Why hasn’t he come down yet?”

“Could it be that he successfully advanced?”

“No way! Is there even such a thing as advancing?”

“Look at the window! Why did Old Fang just walk away?”

Amidst the buzzing discussion, a Breeder standing by the window spotted the familiar figure walking out of the building below. It was the very same person who had just gone upstairs.

“Huh? Why did he leave?” someone asked in surprise.

Yet, not many there were fools, and naturally, after a moment of thought, they understood why he had left.

Did he fail the trial?

However, catching a glimpse of Jian Yue over there, looking calm with a slight smirk playing on her lips, others were puzzled.

Jian Yue hadn’t left. Could it be that this girl really had some skill? Regardless, there would probably be a comprehensive evaluation at the end before a decision was made, right? If so, why the rush to leave?

No one knew the answer to that question.

But soon, some of them noticed that the fourth person to go upstairs also left after coming down.

So it wasn’t an isolated case?

“Did we misunderstand that kid Su Ping who left earlier?” someone joked, then followed them upstairs.

Ten minutes later, many stood by the window, watching him also leave dejectedly. Even though he knew everyone was watching, he didn’t turn his head back at all.

At last, there were exceptions. There are always thick-skinned people. The few who had left earlier had gossiped behind Su Ping’s back. When they discovered the situation was beyond their expectations and there was no chance of advancing, they naturally departed. And then there were those who could promptly switch sides.

Then, just as Jian Yue expected, some of the people who came down but didn’t leave started their flattery again.

Perhaps for these people, it wasn’t really about trying out for the selection, Jian Yue mused. Unless they got extremely lucky, they probably never expected to be chosen. Was this visit more about networking for them?

Jian Yue came to a realization.

「Finally, as time slowly passed, the Big Sun gradually set behind the mountains.」
