Chapter 157: Denied

Chapter 157 Denied

Xu Yingxue’s offensive words stunned all the visiting students nearby. They wondered if this woman was there to cause trouble. Ye Hao raised an eyebrow and gave Xu Kuang a mocking smile.

“Con artist, you say?” Su Ping glanced at Xu Kuang. “I don’t remember you spending a cent in my shop. Did you bring her here to shame me?”

Xu Kuang almost jumped. “No, no! Sir. My sister must have misjudged something. I’ll explain to her right away, please.”

Xu Yingxue was displeased to see her younger brother so “brainwashed” by this shop owner, to a point that he openly disobeyed her.

Meanwhile, several more customers were also trying to smooth things out. “Hey, miss, Professor Su is no liar. Maybe you heard something wrong.” “Yeah. We all know he’s a titled battle pet warrior.” “He may look young, but you shouldn’t judge him so easily, lady. Look at me! I’m a gentleman who cares about my family despite my um, average looks.” Xu Yingxue’s expression turned colder as more people denied her words.

You all know?? Know what? Just as I thought, he’s smart enough to get this many people under his scheme!

Without minding the others, she stared at Su Ping in the eye. “Do you know what kind of social impact you’ll cause if you scam money by falsely parading as a titled warrior? Let’s see… if you’re truly such a warrior as everybody believes, do you dare challenge me to a fight? Oh don’t worry, I’m only a seventh-rank battle pet warrior. You can handle that much, right?”

“Seventh rank?” a customer yelled in surprise, “But she looks so young!”

Ye Hao was ready to enjoy the fun when his rival got beaten, but he no longer felt good when he heard Xu Yingxue’s words. As someone always proud of himself, he had enough problems dealing with Luo Fengtian and Su Ping. A woman had just sprung out of nowhere and was even better than Luo Fengtian; she looked just a few years older than him!

Ye Hao clenched his fists as he thought how unfair this world could get.

Su Ping gave the woman an impatient glance as he didn’t intend to accept the challenge at all. It would waste his time while getting him nothing in return.

“Don’t have time. Get out.”

Xu Yingxue scowled as she thought this guy would at least say no politely.

Doesn’t he want to do something when he’s questioned in front of all these customers??

“Ha! You see that?” Xu Yingxue spoke to everyone, “He can’t even deal with a seventh-rank warrior. Titled? Don’t make me laugh.”

However, those present weren’t reacting in the way she had expected.

“Oi, babe, you got something wrong in your head?”

“Which class are you from? I don’t think any student from our academy has reached the seventh rank yet.”

“You may be a big-shot to us, Miss, but I suggest you be nice to Professor Su. Or his Inferno Dragon will swipe your ass to the next street over.”

“Yeah! You’re only at the seventh rank. That’s not even worth the professor’s time!”

Xu Yingxue widened her eyes in disbelief.

Are you all blind?? This man is clearly a fraud, and you’re still helping him?

An Inferno Dragon?? Even real titled warriors don’t tell bullsh*t like that! Xu Yingxue had spent many years dealing with all sorts of people in the settler base. She thought she had seen enough odd things. But what just happened in front of her still managed to infuriate her. She couldn’t remember when she had felt this angered before.

“You— FOOLS!”

In her view, mentioning the existence of an Inferno Dragon had stripped the last bit of credit Su Ping could have. How could anyone be stupid enough to tell such a blatant lie?

She took several careful breaths and looked at Su Ping again. “I don’t care what kind of tricks you used to swindle them. But there will be no more of your filthy farce on my watch! We’ll settle this with a fight. I’m not going to waste any more breath talking to

you!”

“Sis!” Xu Kuang tugged her clothes, anxious.

“Silence! Step aside and watch!”

Xu Kuang had always respected his sister since childhood. He could no longer find the courage to oppose her when seeing her acting so seriously.

Su Ping sighed. “I said I don’t have time for this sh*t. Will you scram or not?”

“Scared of me, are you, huh?!”

“Yeah yeah, I’m scared. I’m so000 scared. Can you leave now?”

“You

“

Xu Yingxue thought that was the worst she could expect from Su Ping. She was wrong! He was downright shameless!

To make it worse, no one was thanking her for “confronting a liar for justice.” Instead, people were giving her odd looks, as if she were the nuisance.

“You won’t escape this, no matter what you say!” Xu Yingxue had decided to resort to violence, since she didn’t see anyone around the shop who could stop her. “I’ll just reveal your forgery once I get you under my feet!”

Without summoning her pet, Xu Yingxue simply enchanted a hand with powerful astral power and slapped Su Ping.

Su Ping glanced at the incoming attack and looked at his account book again as if it was nothing to worry about.

Seeing this, Xu Yingxue tried to soften the attack slightly so Su Ping didn’t later blame her for ambushing someone while defenseless. It would be better if she could force Su Ping to fight back.

Clang!

Her hand hit something invisible before it reached Su Ping and was bounced back, along with all the strength she put into the attack. The recoil knocked her several meters back and caused her entire arm to go numb.

What was that??

Su Ping put down his book and addressed the closest customer. “Wait here, I’ll get your

pet.”

He left for the pet room at the back of the shop without sparing a glance at her.

Xu Yingxue looked between Su Ping and her hand with broadened eyes. She didn’t see Su Ping move or use any astral power to counter her attack.

“Are—are you alright, sister?” Xu Kuang feared that his sister was wounded.

Xu Yingxue tried moving her affected arm with a frustrated look, while the waiting customers stared in awe. None of them saw how Su Ping pulled that off, though they were somewhat glad to see the “tough visitor” getting baffled into the bargain.

“A piece of advice, lady. Apologize to Professor Su when you still have the chance. Do you think all of us were joking when we said he’s a titled warrior? You should feel lucky that he’s a good guy, since that was enough reason for him to kill ya.”

“I second that.”

“You’re at the seventh rank, huh? Heh. Even advanced battle pet warriors better than you must would have to behave in this shop. Who do you think you are?”

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.}

Xu Yingxue’s cheeks blushed in both embarrassment and rage. She still didn’t know if Su Ping was a titled warrior, but that move or whatever he used just then meant he was a lot stronger than her.

“Trust me, sister! You’re making a mistake!” Xu Kuang tried.

Xu Yingxue was never someone who would easily make mistakes. But this time… she knew she probably had to admit it.

More customers snickered when seeing how the woman’s ego was bruised.

Soon, Su Ping returned to the counter and handed a pet to the waiting customer.

“… Are you truly?” Xu Yingxue asked him with a strange look.

Su Ping ignored her and proceeded to the next customer in line; again, he didn’t have time for this.

Xu Yingxue gave Su Ping another careful glance and decided not to offend such a potential genius who probably came from a very rich family or an influential teacher.

“Sorry. I was being reckless.”

“Get out the way if you don’t have proper things to say. I have a business to run.”

Xu Yingxue felt both annoyed and glad that Su Ping never gave her a direct look. This had told her that he wasn’t someone who would hold grudges over time.

She bowed to Su Ping politely and took Xu Kuang away, whereas Xu Kuang didn’t feel like leaving so soon yet. He went there that day to leave a good impression, but instead he caused the opposite result thanks to his sister.

“Pro-professor Su, may I visit you again?” he asked while being dragged by Xu Yingxue. Su Ping glanced his way. “No one’s stopping you. Note that I won’t tolerate such nonsense again.”

“Of-of course! Thank you!”

Everyone watched as those two headed to their vehicle and saw the car’s plate was from the uptown area, where the rich and the authorities were gathered.

“Weird. I think I’ve seen that guy somewhere before. Is he perhaps a student from the Ares Academy?”

“The Ares Academy??” That name aroused another round of chatter among the students.

The Ares Academy was commonly believed to be the best school in Longjiang City for a long time, and the notion had remained for over a century. Most “top scorers” who attended the Phoenix Peak Academy tried to go there but had to pick the second option because the admission score of the Ares Academy was higher.

The customers had just realized that Su Ping had even been recognized by someone from the Ares Academy. With that, they had more reason to treat him respectfully.

Although, their passionate looks were not going to affect how Su Ping dealt with his work. Like usual, he addressed each customer who was there for a pick-up, while explaining what kind of new properties the pet had attained. By this point, no one found it necessary to test the result at the shop. At least they would not show any mistrust in front of Su Ping anymore.

There were still new customers who went to this shop just the day before, who didn’t quite believe that the training had been done overnight just by looking at their pets. As planned, Su Ping needed only to tell those pets to show what they had learned to convince their owners.
