Two days ago, Rong Qiu had just wanted to give Su Anyong an eye roll for his words.
Never mind social status; based on age alone, is she suitable to be this brat's godmother?
A stepmother, maybe. But the old guy was, at best, all talk.
However, now Rong Qiu suddenly felt that maybe age wasn't so important after all?
So, after finishing her business, she didn't rush back to Beiyuan Province but hurried to the Heart of Woods instead.
As for Su Ping, he blinked, looking at the smiling woman in black before him. For a moment, he couldn't react.
Dammit, could it be that his old man wasn't just shooting the breeze with him?
The stepmother that the old coot mentioned, was she real?
Su Ping had never believed a word Su Anyong said. But now, with this woman who seemed to pop out of nowhere appearing so suddenly, Su Ping was actually quite stunned.
"Excuse me, do you know my father?"
Rong Qiu nodded with a smile.
"Of course, I know him, and our relationship is beyond your imagination, you know~"
This woman, completely different from how she appeared in the Legion, winked at Su Ping, giving him an 'you know what I mean' look.
Su Ping remained silent.
Indeed, one is influenced by the company one keeps.
Could a woman who knew his old man be up to any good?
It had to be said, if possible, Su Ping naturally preferred to spend more time with attractive women. But hanging out with a woman whose intentions were unclear and who had an ambiguous relationship with his dad made Su Ping even miss Dong Muyun.
So, he cut to the chase.
"Then, do you need something from me?"
Rong Qiu clicked her tongue. Apparently sensing Su Ping's wariness, she nodded in satisfaction.
"No wonder Su Anyong left with such peace of mind. I'm here regarding a matter your dad entrusted to me..."
She paused before continuing.
"How is that mutated Poison Type Wolf Pet of yours doing now?"
This woman even knew about this?
It seemed she wasn't lying.
Su Ping let down his guard a little. Xiao Qing had been in the Beast Taming Space these past two days. Su Ping had given the little guy things to do. During the days he was at the Legion, he had Xiao Qing help him plant sunflower seeds in the Beast Taming Space.
Rong Qiu let out a soft laugh. "Alright, it's good to be cautious, but don't be so guarded all the time. It can easily hinder emotional connection."
Su Ping really didn't know what sort of emotional connection he was supposed to have with this woman who wanted to be his godmother out of the blue. He replied helplessly.
"It's okay, Elite Second Rank, and it's probably not far from breaking through to Elite Third Rank."
Rong Qiu nodded.
"When that little guy was sent away from my Rong Family, I was quite concerned. It was a stroke of luck for it to find a good home with you. Honestly, talking to you, brat, is less interesting than talking to Su Anyong. Since that's the case, I'll just get to the point. Your dad has entrusted my Rong Family with a task: to find and complete the evolutionary Cultivation of your mutated Poison Type Little Forest Wolf. The Rong Family specializes in the Cultivation and Evolution of various Poison Type Pet Beasts."
Upon hearing this, Su Ping raised an eyebrow.
So Xiao Qing's origin was related to this woman?
And it was sent over from that... Rong Family?
And now, that old coot wanted this Rong Family to conveniently handle Xiao Qing's evolutionary research and Cultivation?
This was the so-called stepmother and the so-called gift that the old man had talked about.
Su Ping wasn't excited. Instead, he frowned slightly and asked,
"What conditions did Su Anyong agree to with your family?"
Rong Qiu shrugged, smiling as she said,
"That's not something you should be worrying about, kiddo!"
Su Ping's frown deepened.
"If I don't need the Rong Family's help and decide to research Xiao Qing's evolutionary Cultivation on my own, does Su Anyong still need to fulfill the conditions?"
If this were before, Rong Qiu would have dismissed such talk out of hand. Pet Beast Cultivation, especially evolutionary Cultivation, isn't simple. If it were that easy, everyone would be a Breeder, especially a Poison Type Breeder. There are quite a few basic Poison Type Pet Beasts, but their Evolutionary Bodies might be the rarest among all Attribute Pet Beasts. After all, Poison Type Cultivation can often directly threaten the Life of the Pet Beast itself.
But for the Su Ping in front of her, Rong Qiu didn't harbor a shred of doubt. The scene that had unfolded within the Bai Tian Legion would remain an unforgettable shock for Rong Qiu for the rest of her life. The young Beast Tamer before her was indeed qualified to make such a statement.
However, Rong Qiu shook her head helplessly.
"Xiao Ping, many things aren't as simple as you think. But rest assured, your father's Life won't be in danger."
Truth be told, Rong Qiu's words did slightly relieve the tension in Su Ping's heart. Although he wasn't sure exactly what this woman did, as a direct party involved, she had no reason to lie to him about such a matter.
Rong Qiu blinked.
"So, Master Su, do you still want to study the evolutionary Cultivation of that mutated Poison Type Forest Wolf by yourself?"
Su Ping pursed his lips.
"How exactly can you and your so-called Rong Family help me?"
If help is offered, insisting on doing everything alone is just foolish, isn't it?
Since Su Anyong had already paved the way, Su Ping wasn't the type to be difficult and reject his parents' help. He certainly wasn't the kind of fool who would do that, only to then shamelessly use their connections or money while pretending to be struggling independently.
