Chapter 265: “Like” smile

On Tuesday, a long-awaited light rain began to fall.

Given that her umbrella wasn’t big enough, Qiao Sang put Ya Bao into her yu beast codex and walked to school.

The sky was gloomy, and pedestrians, holding umbrellas, quickened their steps, treading on the puddles to hurry on their way, but as they passed a certain person, they all slowed down and turned their heads, looking on in surprise several times.

“Uncle Yang, we haven’t reached school yet. Do you want to come out for some fresh air first?” Qiao Sang felt the gazes of almost all the passersby around her and couldn’t help but ask.

Next to her, only an umbrella was suspended about two meters high, and there was no one under the umbrella, which was the main reason for the passersby’s attention.

“La…”

Niduola appeared, maintaining the umbrella-holding posture, called out, and then became invisible again.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao, with great perceptiveness, acted as a translator above her Yu Beast Master’s head.

Hearing Xiao Xunbao’s words, Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly.

Goodness, he actually fell asleep inside Niduola’s stomach…

When they were about 100 meters from Saint Water Middle School, Qiao Sang stopped Niduola and said, “If you go in like this, you’ll be exposed. Wait until the rain stops or until the people checking at the school gate leave, then you can come in and find me. Remember, I’m in Class 1 of First Year.”

“La…”

Niduola appeared and nodded.

After giving her instructions, Qiao Sang walked off with her umbrella, feeling at ease. Niduola was a General-level Pet, and she felt very confident in it.

Little did she know, Niduola stared blankly at the direction she disappeared in for nearly a minute before showing a confused expression.

“La…”

What class…

At 9:30 AM, the second class ended. Qiao Sang looked out the window, then back into the classroom.

The rain had stopped for over forty minutes, and Niduola should have been in the classroom by now, but there had been no movement during the last class. Qiao Sang sincerely gave it a thumbs-up internally.

As expected of a General-level Pet, its concealment is amazing!

“Uncle Yang, are you there?” Qiao Sang rested her head on her hand on the desk and asked softly.

No one answered.

Regarding this, Qiao Sang expressed understanding: “I get it, it’s not convenient to talk right now. If you’re here, just have Niduola move my pen on the desk.”

“What are you talking about?” Jin Feifan suddenly asked from beside her.

Qiao Sang sat up straight as if nothing had happened and replied, “I’m silently reviewing what the teacher just taught to consolidate my knowledge.”

“Looking back at previous college entrance exam papers, there’s a 93% chance that the content from the last class won’t be tested,” Jin Feifan thought for a moment and said, “But it should be on the monthly exam, so memorizing it isn’t wrong.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “We’re only in First Year now, and you’ve already researched what was on previous college entrance exams?”

Jin Feifan blushed and said awkwardly, “I think everything should be efficient. You can’t spend time on meaningless things. If you know beforehand what kind of questions the college entrance exam likes to ask, you can spend more time on those topics when you’re studying.”

Qiao Sang gave him a thumbs-up: “Awesome!”

At this moment, a flat-haired boy ran from outside the classroom to the podium, excitedly saying, “Guess what happened in Third Year just now?”

“What happened?”

“How could we possibly know?”

“Don’t be a tease, just tell us!”

“Hurry up and tell us, class is about to start!”

The classmates in the class exchanged remarks, and their attention was all focused on him.

Qiao Sang also looked over.

Almost every class had a ‘gossip monger’ who could get school rumors first-hand. Their class was no exception; Zhang Shuzhou, as their class’s ‘gossip monger,’ had contributed quite a few school gossips in less than a month since school started.

Zhang Shuzhou looked around the podium, didn’t drag it out, and chuckled, “I don’t know whose Pet it was, but it was invisible and ate all the snacks hidden in every class in the entire Third Year. Now the school leaders are investigating, and it’s probably going to be in big trouble.”

Invisible?

Qiao Sang immediately touched her head.

Good thing, it’s not Xiao Xunbao…

“Qiao Sang, is your Treasure Hunting Ghost here? It didn’t run off, did it?” Jin Feifan leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

…

6:56 PM.

Tianjingyuan 1705.

“What?! You went to the Third Year section?!” Qiao Sang asked in disbelief.

Yang Du smiled bitterly, “I overslept this morning. When I came out, I didn’t see you, and thinking you were in class, I didn’t use my phone to contact you. I asked Maodou, and he didn’t know which class you were in. I thought you were in Third Year, so I went around there.”

After speaking, he looked at Qiao Sang with an extremely complex expression.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, no matter who told him, he wouldn’t believe that a Yu Beast Master with three Pets was actually a child who had just entered First Year.

What was even more unbelievable was that two of her three Pets had evolved to Intermediate-level.

One was a Yan Ling Dog, for which the Alliance hadn’t released an evolution plan, and the remaining Beginner Pet was the nearly extinct Water Luyana…

Yang Du couldn’t describe his current mood. For decades, he had lived in praise, always believing his talent was incredibly amazing.

But now he felt his talent was simply terribly weak!

Qiao Sang tried to speak in a normal tone, “I told Niduola that I’m in Class 1 of First Year.”

“Well, you might not know, but Lala Dai’s forgetfulness is famous in Xi Lv region,” Yang Du replied, “Even after evolving into Niduola, it’s still like this.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

She didn’t understand!

Could such severe forgetfulness still make them so popular with new Yu Beast Masters?!

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something, her mouth twitched, and she asked, “I heard that all the snacks in the entire Third Year section were eaten by an invisible Pet. That wouldn’t be Niduola, would it?”

“Nonsense!” Yang Du frowned and retorted, “Maodou only took some food from the first two classes it searched when I wasn’t paying attention at the very beginning; it hasn’t eaten anything since!”

“La…”

Niduola slowly nodded.

Qiao Sang: “…”

It was you guys after all…

After Yang Du promised that such a thing would never happen again, Qiao Sang went to the courtyard.

Ya Bao and the others had already begun their training.

Ya Bao, Mars Rain.

Xiao Xunbao, Chop.

Water Luyana waiting for Xiao Xunbao to finish Chop.

Qiao Sang watched with satisfaction.

“Crack!”

The tile shattered in response.

“Lulu.” Water Luyana immediately used Healing Light.

Xiao Xunbao, who was being healed, looked at its Yu Beast Master who appeared in the courtyard, remembered its mission, showed an expression of “leave everything to me,” and secretly gave an OK gesture where Water Luyana couldn’t see.

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned by Xiao Xunbao’s actions, not yet understanding its meaning.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao had already floated next to Ya Bao and diligently massaged Ya Bao with the paw that had just been illuminated by Healing Light.

“Ya?”

Ya Bao turned its head and let out a confused cry at Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao showed the “liking” smile it had just learned from playing on its phone last night.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She didn’t understand why Xiao Xunbao suddenly smiled so… fawningly…
