Chapter 313 A Letter of Invitation
“Fei Yanbo, an advanced teacher at the Berserking Blade Academy.”
“This is Qin Shuhai.”
Since he was sitting in the middle, Su Ping had to do a brief introduction for them.
Qin Shuhai?
Fei Yanbo frowned. He was trying to recall the name which sounded familiar.
A moment later, with shock on his face, Fei Yanbo jumped up from his chair and stared at this middle-aged, refined man. “Are you Qin Shuhai the ‘King of Swords’, the titled battle pet warrior of the Qin Family?!”
Qin Shuhai was surprised that this person who was sitting with Su Ping would be so skittish, after seeing him freak out upon hearing his title.
But Qin Shuhai did not hold Fei Yanbo in contempt. He replied with a warm smile, “Basically, yes.”
Fei Yanbo’s legs were shaking. To his astonishment and surprise, he had met the famous “King of Swords” right there!
At the Longjiang Base City, the number of titled battle pet warriors wasn’t large. The powerful ones among the titled battle pet warriors would get tremendous attention from the public. And Qin Shuhai was such a man!
King of Swords, Qin Shuhai.
He had established his name when he was young and became a titled battle pet warrior when he just became middle-aged!
With one sword, he was able to slay seven ninth-rank beasts in a row. As such, he was titled “King of Swords”! He had earned his title with blood!
He took a clean sweep of a Class B uncultivated land outside the base city. He utterly defeated the beasts there and turned that place into a Class D area. It was said that after over a decade, the soil there was still blood-red. The blood and corpses of advanced beasts scared away many other beasts!
This vicious and powerful person was sitting there, talking in a jovial mood!
Fei Yanbo felt this was as unreal as a dream.
Sitting behind him, Fei Fei turned around after his father’s scream of surprise. A titled battle pet warrior? Fei Fei was baffled. Su Ping didn’t know that Fei Yanbo would get so worked up. He yanked Fei Yanbo’s clothes and signaled him to sit down first.
Fei Yanbo came back to his senses and realized that he had forgotten himself. Blushing, he sat down in embarrassment. Then, he felt he should be standing up. That was a titled battle pet warrior right there. How could he sit as equals with him?
There was a world of difference between the eighth-rank and the ninth-rank, not to mention the fact that Qin Shuhai was one of the more powerful ones even among all the titled battle pet warriors.
Fei Yanbo was unsettled. He sat down on the edge of his chair and apologized, “Sorry, I was too excited. Mr. Qin, I am Fei Yanbo from the Berserking Blade Academy. I have heard so much about you!”
Although Su Ping had introduced him, Fei Yanbo thought a self-introduction would seem more appropriate.
Qin Shuhai realized that Fei Yanbo and Su Ping seemed to be ordinary friends only.
In that case, there was no need for him to pay much attention to Fei Yanbo.
“Nice to meet you. Don’t be so on edge. I don’t want people to recognize me. I hope you understand that.”
Fei Yanbo blushed again. His scream had caught a lot of attention.
“Of course…. I understand. Mr. Qin, you know Mr. Su?”
“Yes, I do.”
Qin Shuhai asked Su Ping with a smile, “Brother Su, do you have any free time recently? How about you come to the Qin Family estate for a visit?”
Fei Yanbo gulped.
Was Qin Shuhai trying to pull Su Ping to their family?
A fire of excitement began to burn in Fei Yanbo’s eyes as he stared at Su Ping. If Su Ping could bond with the Qin Family, then he could basically do anything he wanted in the Longjiang Base City!
Su Ping knew that Qin Shuhai must have approached him with an agenda but not that the latter was inviting him to the Qin Family again. Su Ping shook his head. “I have been too busy with the store recently. Let me take a rain check. Some other time, maybe.”
Fei Yanbo opened his eyes wide. He could not believe what he was hearing.
Was Su Ping turning down Qin Shuhai’s offer or did he not understand the latter at all? Busy at the store? My man! This is not the time to mind that crappy store of yours! How much can your store be worth?
You’d never be in want of money if you can build some relationship with the Qin Family!
Besides, to receive an invitation from the King of Swords was a great honor. After you joined the Qin Family, you would enjoy high status and prestige. A man’s livelihood or career would be assured if he had influential friends. Joining the Qin Family must be better than you surviving the world alone! If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t say yes on behalf of Su Ping, Fei Yanbo would have already done so.
He’s killing me!
Qin Shuhai was disappointed. Of course, it was within his expectation that Su Ping would not join the Qin Family so easily. According to their intelligence, Su Ping had a powerful background. Otherwise, Su Ping would not have grown to be a titled battle pet warrior at such a young age!
As far as Qin Shuhai could tell, Su Ping had more potential than him because he only became a titled battle pet warrior at the age of thirty. Venerable the Blade made this breakthrough in his twenties.
But Su Ping was barely twenty and he had already been as powerful as a titled battle pet warrior.
What a genius. Only the “blessed” ones, the “chosen” ones could have done so…
People would say that the young were impulsive. Qin Shuhai had his impulsive days as well. He had learned from the seniors in the family that Su Ping seemed to have been the one who went to challenge the Zhou Family all by himself…
But without confirmed details, he wasn’t perfectly sure yet.
That being said, even without what happened to the Zhou Family, after seeing Su Ping’s performance in the Mysterious Realm alone, Qin Shuhai had already considered Su Ping as an equal. Taking a deep breath, Qin Shuhai replied with a smile, “Then we will revisit the matter later. Brother Su, you must know that you will always be welcomed by the Qin Family.”
Su Ping nodded. He knew that Qin Shuhai was implying.
“Of course.”
The two had finished their discussion. Fei Yanbo had a feeling that he had just kissed a huge sum of money goodbye. He was not involved in this in any way, and yet he had a great sense of disappointment.
Joining the Qin Family was an opportunity that many people yearned for. However, Su Ping had turned it down.
Were all talents this arrogant?
Fei Yanbo forced a bitter smile. Remembering Su Ping’s strength, Fei Yanbo decided not to think about this anymore. He would never understand the freaks.
“Brother Su, are you interested in this?”
Qin Shuhai took out a card from his chest pocket and gave it to Su Ping.
That was a card made purely of gold with some words written on it.
Su Ping had thought that Qin Shuhai was going to bribe him with a bank card but he took it over and noticed that he was wrong. This was an invitation!
“The Supremacy League?” Su Ping was confused.
The golden card was an invitation to get into the Supremacy League. With this card, he could enter the Supremacy League directly.
Fei Yanbo saw the card as well and once again, he was startled.
He knew the golden card very well. He didn’t have one, but it was for this very same reason he was familiar with it. He had seen information about this card via many other means. This card was exclusive to titled battle pet warriors!
With this card, the participant could skip over the primary selection and join the latter matches directly!
The Supremacy League was open to seventh to ninth-rank battle pet warriors. The weakest of the participants would be advanced battle pet warriors and the most powerful would be the titled battle pet warriors! The age limit was not as strict. Anyone younger than 60 could participate!
Without a doubt, the Supremacy League would have many participants, no less than the Elite League. However, those who could fight till the end would still be the titled battle pet warriors!
With the abilities of a titled battle pet warrior, the participant wouldn’t have to go through the mass-election.
Giving Su Ping this card was enough to say that Su Ping was a titled battle pet warrior!
Before this, Fei Yanbo still had some doubts. Su Ping had demonstrated skills and abilities unique to titled battle pet warriors but he always found it unbelievable that a titled battle pet warrior could be so young. But finally, he had seen the proof!
A titled battle pet warrior younger than Qin Shuhai!
Younger than many other famous titled battle pet warriors!
All of a sudden, Fei Yanbo understood why Su Ping was confident enough to turn down Qin Shuahi’s offer.
Such a talent was rarely seen in a century across the entire planet. Indeed, it was within reason that Su Ping would reject the Qin Family. Fei Yanbo slowly moved further back on his chair to keep a distance from Su Ping. If he was admiring Su Ping before this, at the moment he was in complete awe of him.
He felt lucky that he had not been so stupid as to seek revenge after the exchange match. Otherwise, he would have kissed the world goodbye already.
