Chapter 74: Intuition and Iron Age

Chapter 74 Intuition and Tie Lao

After giving Xue Huaiyu a reply, Li Qian did not just ignore the other two admissions teachers, but sent a message.

 Thanks for their affirmation.

Ai Xiaolian was lucky, because she was the last one to arrive, and she already thought that Li Qian was seriously biased towards Jiangnan Beast Control University, so she was not surprised after receiving the text message.

Of course, regrets are inevitable.

As for the other person, Zhou Chubin, he was completely confused after receiving the text message.

At this moment, his only thought was...why did the cooked duck fly?

 Then there was deep doubt and confusion: Why did the cooked duck fly?

Since Li Qian did not choose Jiangnan Beast Controlling University, he must have made a choice between Shazhou Beast Controlling University and Mizhou Beast Controlling University.

Could it be that beautiful women are really so lethal?

Shaking his head, Zhou Chubin quickly denied the idea.

 Others may still be affected by beauty, but after being in contact with Li Qian for the past few days, he is relatively sure.

The other person should not be such a person. He is very sensible and mature and does not look like a high school student at all.

　　It is unlikely that you will abandon your hometown plot and choose to go to a foreign country.

  Closed his eyes and thought for a while, Zhou Chubin soon ruled out the Mizhou Beast Control University. Finally, he focused his attention on Shazhou Beast Control University, to be precise, Xue Huaiyu.

 Previously, when he saw the expressions of Xue Huaiyu and Li Qian after communicating, a bad feeling arose in his heart.

 Unexpectedly, this bad premonition actually came true.

Without thinking too much, Zhou Chubin followed his instinct and dialed a number directly.

 The owner of this number is none other than Xue Huaiyu.

 The number was just added in the past few days.

The call was dialed quickly. After hearing a familiar voice, Zhou Chubin asked straight to the point: "Mr. Xue, I'm really curious about what conditions your Shazhou Beast Control University has offered to classmate Li Qian. He actually chose to go to the Western Regions."

His words were both asking and testing, testing whether Li Qian really chose Shazhou Beast Control University.

Feelings are just feelings after all. Before confirmation, they are just guesses.

The test didn't last long, because on the other end of the phone, Xue Huaiyu quickly responded, "As expected of Teacher Zhou, he guessed our Shazhou Beast Control University right away."

On the other side of the phone, Zhou Chubin couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this.

This, is it difficult to guess?

 The Ai Xiaolian from Michigan who imitated you doesn’t seem very competitive.

Xue Huaiyu was in a good mood after snatching Li Qian.

She responded with a smile, "I can't tell you the specific conditions, but what I can say is that we recruit Li Qian with full sincerity, and the conditions given are equivalent to recruiting a top cultivation master! "

 “Hiss~!”

Hearing the conditions stated by Xue Huaiyu on the phone, Zhou Chubin couldn't help but take a breath.

 For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.

 They think that the conditions given are already very good.

However, there is still a gap compared to recruiting a top cultivation master.

“No wonder he chose Shazhou Beast Control University, your craftsmanship is really..."

Although Zhou Chubin didn't finish what he said, the meaning he expressed was already very obvious.

After saying that, after a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "Is it worth paying such an exorbitant price for you?"

On the other end of the phone, Xue Huaiyu did not hide anything and told the truth: "Is it worth it? I don't know. From now on, it may not be worth it, but we are betting on his future."

“The most important thing is, as we all know, our Shazhou Beast Control University’s shortcoming lies in breeding. Paying such a price can be regarded as buying horse bones with thousands of gold.”

 “It’s worth a thousand gold to buy horse bones. Maybe you are right. Our Jiangnan Beast Control University lacks some courage after all.” After hearing Xue Huaiyu’s words, Zhou Chubin couldn’t help but sigh.

 After learning about Li Qian’s final choice and roughly understanding the price paid by Shazhou Beast Control University, Zhou Chubin stopped talking to Xue Huaiyu.

There was no point in continuing the conversation. After hanging up the phone, he murmured to himself, "Why do I always feel that one day, we may regret it!"

It's a pity that now, even if you regret it, it's too late.

 Li Qian has chosen Beast Control University, this is an indisputable fact.

 After receiving the text message from Li Qian and confirming the former's whereabouts with Xue Huaiyu, Zhou Chubin did not stay any longer.

 Sent a message to Chu Xiran, explaining the situation, and then left Lingshui City directly.

At about the same time, Ai Xiaolian also left Lingshui City.

Chu Xiran received the text message from Zhou Chubin and did not respond. He just glanced at it and put the phone back into his pocket.

Zhou Chubin’s text message, or, to be more precise, the content in the text message, did not surprise him.

 In fact, half an hour before receiving this text message, Li Qian had already called her to explain his decision.

For this reason, Li Qian apologized a little embarrassedly. After all, he did not choose Jiangnan Beast Control University in the end.

After hearing this, Chu Xiran just smiled lightly and didn't mind.

She explained her position without hesitation, "I am a graduate of Jiangnan Beast Control University, that's true, but before that, I am your teacher first."

“Based on the standpoint of a teacher, I hope you can choose the development path that suits you best. Now that you have your own choice and it is not influenced by me, it’s not too late for me to be happy for you.”

The two simply chatted for a few words and then hung up the phone, because Chu Xiran had more important things to be busy with.

At this moment, she was in a private room of a beast-control cafe not far from the beast-control high school in Lingshui City.

 In the private room, besides Chu Xiran, there were also Zhu Bingqing and Niu Fenjin.

 The three of them met, with serious expressions on their faces.

"You should already know about the explosion that happened the night before yesterday. As far as I know, there was another attack at noon yesterday. The attackers were still members of the Armed Forces Society. It was only destroyed by people from the Public Security Bureau in advance, so there was no trouble. What's going on?" Chu Xiran explained the current situation.

 Zhu Bingqing nodded, spoke the same way, and added: "I have received accurate information from the family. The target of the Mechanical Destruction Society is probably the Sealed Place."

Niu Fenjin can no longer see the carefreeness of the past, and his expression has also become very serious.

He speculated: "If they continue to be allowed to test, it won't be long before they find out that Taoyuan Villa in the northern suburbs is just a cover."

"If they change their target, sooner or later they will find the real sealing place."

“Then do we have any countermeasures now?” Chu Xiran glanced at Zhu Bingqing and Niu Fenjin respectively.

Zhu Bingqing curled his lips and said in a helpless tone: "We said it was the guardians arranged by the family here. In fact, they are just three minions standing guard. Small threats can be dealt with, and they are as powerful as cult organizations like the Mechanical Desecration Society. , What else can you do besides reporting it to the family?”

After saying that, he complained again, "I don't know what is sealed in this, and why it attracted the covetousness of the Mechanic Society."

"Let us know the destiny of the people and everything we do. We just need to do our own things well." Zhu Bingqing ignored Niu Fenjin's complaints and directly expressed his thoughts.

 In fact, this is also a task assigned to her by her family.

 Always pay attention to the situation in Lingshui City, and send the news back as soon as there is any disturbance.

This meeting did not last long. After a cup of coffee, the three of them left the Beast Control Cafe and dispersed.

Not long after they left, in the cafe, a young man dressed as a waiter and wearing black-rimmed glasses came out of the corner of the door.

 He looked in the direction where the three people were leaving, and finally focused his attention on Niu Fenjin, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly reached out his hand, pressed the upper edge of his black-rimmed glasses, and then suddenly said: "Huang Qiqi, it should be confirmed. The three of them are probably the descendants of the guardian family of the Sealed Land."

The moment his voice fell, a line of text suddenly appeared on the mirror of his black-framed glasses in a field of vision that ordinary people couldn't see, "Then let's put the breakthrough on them."

 …

 The day after Zhou Chubin and Ai Xiaolian left, Xue Huaiyu also left.

 Before leaving, she specially came to the training base and explained some things.

“…The invitation letter written by the principal and the admission notice for the special recruitment will be sent to you soon. After you receive it, you can report to Shazhou Yushou University on time…”

Li Qian naturally agreed without hesitation.

 Since he has agreed to study at Shazhou Beast Control University, he will not break his promise.

On the third day after Xue Huaiyu left, a little old man with an unattractive appearance came to the breeding base.

 The old man is thin and small. He looks no different from an old farmer.

 It was this old man who sent Li Qian an invitation letter written by the president of Shazhou Royal Beast University and the admission notice for the special recruitment.

 Besides that, he also stayed.

Yes, he is the security officer arranged by Shazhou Beast Control University for Li Qian, a beast master whose strength has at least reached the overlord level.

To be honest, I really didn’t see it.

 From this aspect, it is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.

However, this is fine. The more inconspicuous it is, the easier it is to be ignored. At critical moments, it may have an unexpected effect.

As for the strength of this old man with no memory of his appearance, Li Qian didn't have the slightest doubt.

 Because after the meeting, he saw a small red snake on the old man's shoulder.

Li Qian stared at it for a while, and then he remembered what kind of pet it was, a pet with overlord-level potential - the Infernal Viper.

Dark system and poison system dual attributes!

And it can be judged from its fleeting aura that the strength of this purgatory viper definitely exceeds the leader level.

80% of them have reached the overlord level. As for the specific level of overlord, it is unknown.

This is just one of the old man's pet beasts. With the strength of the old man's overlord-level beast master, he must have contracted more than one pet beast.

From this, we can judge that the old man's strength is definitely not bad, and he should not be at the overlord level for the first time.

“I don’t know what to call you, senior?” After seeing the old man’s strength, Li Qian’s attitude became more respectful.

"I'm just an ordinary guard at Shazhou Beast Control University. You don't need to call me senior. If you respect me, just call me Iron Old Man." The old man said in a calm voice.

When he said this, Li Qian naturally did not dare to actually call him that. Instead of using the word "tou", Li Qian directly addressed him as "Tie Lao".

“Tie Lao, I will trouble you for the next three months or so.” Li Qian did not dare to make excuses, and his tone was still very respectful.

As for what Tie Lao said about the identity of the guard, Li Qian just listened casually and didn't take it seriously at all.

Li Qian felt that it was impossible to let a beast master who had reached the overlord level as a guard, even if it was the Eight Great Masters.

 With Tie Lao joining, Li Qian can be said to have no worries about his own safety.

Of course, this is not his purpose. Letting an overlord-level beastmaster protect him is, in fact, just a cover.

Since the last attack by the Jiduhui, coupled with the uneven performance of Lingshui City during this period, Li Qian instinctively felt that something might happen to Lingshui City next.

The reason why Shazhou Beast Control University sent people to protect itself was actually to nip it in the bud.

 In case something happens, Tie Lao is here, and he may be able to help at the critical moment.

After all, Lingshui City is the place where he was born and grew up. If he can help at a critical moment, he will definitely not hesitate.

In this way, three days passed by in a flash. During these three days, Li Qian's feeling became even stronger.

 Because in just these three days, two more explosions occurred in the small city of Lingshui, and the location of the explosions has moved from the northern suburbs to the western suburbs.

Although both explosions were covered up by officials with various seemingly reasonable excuses.

However, Li Qian, who had experienced similar things, could see it at a glance.

This is most likely an attack by the Mechanic Society.

Irigiaus will focus on attacking such a small city such as Lingshui City. As long as it is a normal person, it can be seen.

 There must be something fishy about this matter!

 Seeing something fishy, ​​Li Qian did not report or expose this kind of thing.

 You can see the strangeness yourself, not to mention the officials who have more information.

 Perhaps they already have a plan to deal with it.

 After calming down, Li Qian still maintained the usual rhythm, learning cultivation knowledge and training the charcoal heads, while at the same time supplementing the knowledge of frost and fire magic circle under Niu Fenjin's teaching.

 At this point, I know everything about this magic circle, and there are basically no problems.

Both the control and arrangement have already reached a certain level of enthusiasm, just like that, unknowingly, Niu Fenjin’s teaching has come to the last day.

 But on this day, something strange happened.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning, but Niu Fenjin still didn't come to the training base.

"It's not possible. It's already the last day. There's no reason to skip work."

Li Qian knew that Niu Fenjin seemed unreliable, but in fact, he was relatively good at keeping his promises.

 What you agree to will definitely end well.

Just as Li Qian was frowning and thinking, a phone call suddenly came.

The person who called was none other than Teacher Chu Xiran.

As soon as the call was connected, Teacher Chu Xiran's anxious voice sounded from the receiver, "Classmate Li Qian, is Niu Fenjin at your place?"
