Early the next morning, Su Bai’s phone kept ringing while he was still asleep.
He opened his eyes in annoyance and glanced at his phone to see his father’s call.
“What’s the matter, dad?” He answered the call.
“Son, come out quickly. Many people are looking for you outside the manor. They’re all waiting for you at the door with dragons.”
His father sounded a little anxious on the phone.
“They came here riding dragons?” He woke up completely. Since a group of dragon riders came looking for him, it could only mean one thing; he has been exposed for owning an Ancestor Blood Dragon.
Needless to say, Elder Tong must be the one who had leaked this news.
Su Bai did not say anything else. He just quickly got up to wash his face and brush his teeth in preparation for heading out.
“Howl?”
Ah Bai, where are you going?
The cub opened its eyes and looked at him.
His other three pets also glanced at him, having woken up for their mealtime.
“Something happened outside, so we’ll eat after we come back. Go back to the contract book; I’ll explain it slowly to you afterward.”
Su Bai opened the contract book and put away the four pets. He rode his electric scooter to the manor’s entrance.
When he arrived at the gates, his parents were already waiting there.
“What’s going on?” His father glanced at him and whispered.
“You guys can just watch it from here while I go settle it. It’s not a big deal; they should be here for an invitation.”
He opened the door and walked out.
Not far from the doorway, five dragons had landed on the ground. Each exuded a terrifying aura. On the dragons’ backs were five girls with different postures, each having different temperaments. The only thing they had in common was that they were all beautiful.
This was the first time he had seen such a complete dragon set. Three were giant dragons, while two were divine dragons.
The giant ones were a red Fire-breathing Dragon, a crystal-colored Gemstone Dragon, and a black Poison Breath Dragon. The divine dragons were a five-clawed Golden Dragon and a black Water Dragon.
They exuded the terrifying aura of monarchs and gave people a deep sense of oppression with their huge body shapes, but when paired with the five girls, the sight gave people a different sense of temptation and allure.
Su Bai did not care about all these and was fixated on another thing. These girls were about the same age as him and were not much older, but they already had monarch dragon pets.
Their strengths were so terrifying that it made him deeply feel his shortcomings all at once.
“I’m Su Bai. Who are you? What can I do for you?” he asked indifferently.
The five young girls jumped off the dragons’ backs and looked carefully at him. He was pretty good-looking, the sunny kind of handsome, with bright black eyes.
After learning that he owned a blood dragon, they received orders from their clan to take him away directly. However, after receiving news halfway that he was actually the tenth disciple of Gao An, they had to change their strategy and invite him over.
“We’re all members of the royal Pet Tamer families and clans in the alliance. My name is Liu Yiyi; I heard that you have a blood dragon. Can you release your pet for us to look?”
The girl with the five-clawed Golden Dragon asked. She looked capable and experienced, giving a valiant and formidable aura.
“I don’t have a blood dragon; you’ve identified the wrong person.”
Su Bai spread his hands. “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll go back to sleep.”
Liu Yiyi: “…”
The group of girls were a little dumbfounded, surprised to hear the boy say such a thing.
“Since we’re already here, it’s naturally impossible for us to have found the wrong person. The bloodline restrains the dragon attribute, so a blood dragon is the nemesis of dragon pets.
“Besides ourselves, we also represent all the dragon forces in the alliance. I hope that you can understand the seriousness of this matter.
“Even if your master is the Cannes Trainer Association president, he can’t defeat the whole alliance and all the dragon forces. The bloodline is a forbidden attribute here. If you refuse to cooperate, we’ll bring a search warrant and come back again.”
Liu Yiyi spoke solemnly. The five-clawed Golden Dragon also exuded a powerful Dragon Might to suppress Su Bai.
“You need to show me evidence. When have you ever seen me release a blood dragon? If the alliance wants to search me, then show me proof first.
“What do blood pets restraining dragons have to do with me? I really don’t have any blood dragon pets. Is it interesting for you to pester me like this? If you wanna talk to me because I’m handsome, please do it in a different way.”
Su Bai completely pretended to be dumbfounded.
He would really be stupid if he released the Little Blood Dragon to show them.
“Brother Su, don’t be angry. It’s not as serious as what Sister Liu said. We just heard that you have a blood dragon here and wanted to see it.
“Our clan found out about this and wanted us to make friends with you. If your blood dragon is as good as ours, our dragons can grow with one another, and we can also become friends. Your dragon can only grow up with our family’s resources.
“My name is Di Fei; I’m looking forward to seeing your pet.”
The girl who talked next was with a Fire-breathing Dragon. She looked to be mixed race, with beautiful features and long curly blonde hair. She was obviously young, but her body was voluptuous.
When she spoke, her words were full of temptation.
“Brother Su, let us have a look at your blood dragon; we’ll be punished by our clan if we can’t complete our assigned task.
“After seeing it, how about we invite you to have a meal and a good chat?
“Actually, I came here on our clan’s order to invite you into joining our Royal Dragon family. You can tell us your conditions for you to let us see your pet.
“As you can see, we’re about the same age as you but are so much stronger. This is what happens when you have resources.
“As long as you really have a blood dragon, you can join our Royal Dragon family. When that happens, resources and girlfriends won’t be a problem. You’ll even have the opportunity to enter the alliance and gain power plus reputation. This is the shortcut to reach heaven.”
When they saw that direct pressure and threats did not work on him, they started acting coquettish and cute, trying all sorts of methods to persuade him.
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Pet Tamer like him could not even see them, let alone watch them act coquettish and cute.
“Your offer sounds very tempting, but I really don’t have a blood dragon. Leave. I won’t be seeing you off.”
Su Bai shook his head regretfully, then turned, and walked into the manor. He did not intend on talking nonsense with them and was completely unresponsive to their coquetry and cute acts.
His stubborn attitude instantly aroused anger in the five girls’ hearts. Did he really think that he was such an important figure?
“Fire-breathing Dragon, teach him a lesson.”
Di Fei snorted softly.
The Fire-breathing Dragon behind her hurled a fireball at Su Bai.
At that moment, a sharp sword light slashed down from the sky, and that fireball was split in half.
“How dare you attack my junior!”
Liu Xinghe came down from the sky with a giant sword and shouted coldly.
“Sword Eagle, Liu Xinghe.”
The five of them glanced up at the new arrival fearlessly.
“Do you want to fight against all the dragon forces in the alliance? The blood dragon is related to the safety of the entire world, so you’d better think clearly before making a decision.”
Liu Yiyi emphasized each word of hers.
“The dragon forces in the entire alliance? Just the few of you? Are you guys worthy?” asked Liu Xinghe disdainfully.
“Aren’t you overestimating yourselves? Fuyao Daoguan, Yulong Daoguan, and the Hunting Hall haven’t spoken yet, but you’re here representing them all?
“You’re so shameless! Can’t you see that you’re unworthy? You’re still talking about blood dragons endangering the world. If you really think that the world’s safety is important, why did you people shrink back in fear back then? Do you really think that you have the final say in the alliance?
“I’ll give you a chance to get out, or else I’ll call someone to come.”
“You… Fine! Since you’re like this, don’t let us run into you in the wilderness!”
Liu Yiyi’s face was livid as she glared at the man. She then turned and left on the five-clawed Golden Dragon.
“Don’t let me bump into you in the wilderness, or else I’ll definitely break your dog legs.”
The others also understood that they probably would not reach a conclusion today and turned around to depart after leaving harsh words.
They had only come here to try it out, wanting to see what Su Bai’s blood dragon looked like and also determine if it was really an Ancestor Blood Dragon. However, the boy was exactly like Gao An and did not succumb to their threats or coaxing, leaving them with no rebut to his witty remarks.
“Hmph! I won’t go to the wilderness at all. Even if I do, you think you’re capable of breaking my legs?”
Once the five girls left, Liu Xinghe came down cursing.
“Senior, it turns out you can’t beat them.”
Su Bai also admired the man’s moves. He could not beat them but still dared to be so arrogant in front of them; he really had to learn from him.
Liu Xinghe: “…”
“What do you mean by I can’t beat them? How can you call an educator incapable of fighting? This is called a specialization in the art industry; I deal with cultivation techniques. How could I ignore my proper occupations and fight with them? That would be an insult to my status as a noble trainer.
“If I were to concentrate on training pets, they would be beaten to the ground by me one by one.”
Liu Xinghe raised his head.
“Yes, yes, I see. You have high ambitions. Would you like to come in for a drink? I just obtained a Purple Bird Tea, but I haven’t tasted it yet,” asked Su Bai with a smile.
“Let’s go in. It just so happens that I haven’t eaten breakfast yet.” The man put his arm across his shoulders.
“You don’t have to be afraid of their threats. Those girls can’t represent the alliance. In fact, many people disapprove of their petty aristocratic families.
“As long as you insist on not having a blood dragon, they won’t be able to do anything about it. After the college entrance examination, you can join a top gymnasium like Fuyao or Yulong, then they won’t be able to make a move on you anymore.”
Liu Xinghe patted the youth on the shoulder. He originally thought that the latter would be unable to withstand the temptation but he was surprisingly able to..
“Thank you, senior; I’ll note all that down.”
After entering the manor, Su Bai gave his parents a brief talk to reassure them and then asked them to make breakfast.
His parents sensed that the situation was complicated, so they did not bother asking too much at the moment. Anyway, it was fine as long as he was okay.
While they were cooking breakfast, he and his senior went for a stroll in the manor.
Back in the villa, he released his pets for breakfast and then picked some fresh leaves from the Purple Sparrow Tea Tree.
“This tea is so refreshing; I feel like I can fly at any time.” Liu Xinghe chuckled.
This was Su Bai’s first time drinking this kind of tea, and when he took a sip, he felt like he had understood the great way of heaven and earth. It felt as though he was about to become a fairy and ascend to heaven.
He quickly filled two glasses for them.
After drinking tea, he took his senior to stroll around the manor once more. They then went to have breakfast.
His parents had prepared a very sumptuous and luxurious breakfast, taking out cherished ingredients.
After eating breakfast, Liu Xinghe reminded him not to go to the wilderness and then got up to leave.
Su Bai briefly explained to his parents why those people had come earlier and yawned. “I’ll go back; don’t call me for lunch.”
“Big bro, wait for me! I wanna take two books over there; I finished reading the previous ones.” Su Yue shouted and rushed over to sit in the back seat of the electric scooter.
“You finished all so quickly?” asked Su Bai while riding the scooter.
“Yeah, I can take the professional pharmacist and trainer exams in October; it just happens to be at different time slots, so I want to try both.
“I feel like I already have my hands on a pharmacist certificate, while the trainer certificate will depend on my luck. It may be possible if I encounter simple problems,” said Su Yue confidently.
“Good. Once you obtain a pharmacist certificate, I’ll look around and see if there’s a way to contract pets in advance.
“If not, you can find a more docile support pet to keep first. Just don’t let outsiders find out.” Su Bai thought for a while and said. The Pet Alliance law stipulated that anyone under sixteen years of age was not allowed to have pets, and those who broke the rule would be severely punished if discovered. If it was serious, the Pet Tamer might lose his professional examination qualifications, so most people did not dare to violate it.
In the early years, there were too many cases of pets being raised by youths under the age of sixteen. Thus, it was now strictly forbidden.
At such a young age, they were too immature and could not raise pets well.
However, a genius like his younger brother could raise an auxiliary pet to help him research.
“Thank you, big brother. It doesn’t matter; I can just own a pet later.”
Su Yue was very open to this and was not obsessed with having a pet.
This was precisely why Su Bai thought that he could own a pet in advance.
When they reached the Azure Dragon Mound, he opened the door to release his pets and let them move freely.
“Wow, is that the blood dragon? Big brother, you’re amazing!”
Su Yue looked at the Little Blood Dragon with shock and admiration.
He had also just learned that his older brother’s fourth pet was actually a dragon, and because of this, several big families and clans in the alliance had been provoked.
He knew how his older brother had started. Purple Jade’s beginner material was just a very cheap Queen of Thorns’ crystal nucleus, but his brother’s good luck had caused the pet egg to mutate and give birth to a divine pet.
After that, his brother seemed to have become a dragon, becoming stronger and more terrifying as time went by. It had not even been long, and he already owned a pet dragon which ninety-nine percent of the people in the world could not obtain.
It was even a dragon with a special attribute.
Su Yue felt that his brother was simply too legendary. He was full of admiration and wanted to take him as his goal.
In fact, Su Bai was shocked by his younger brother’s talent as well. He felt that he might not be better than his younger brother if he did not have a plug-in.
“You can stay here and read the books. I’m also a rookie, but my knowledge as a cultivator is a bit better, so I can definitely help you.” He looked at the pets running around and told his younger brother.
“Thank you, big bro. I happen to have a lot of things I don’t understand,” said Su Yue happily.
