Chapter 799: The Hugh Mia Academy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Unable to figure out what was on Su Ping’s mind, Pablo left the matter to rest. He decided to simply do his best to train her. She would definitely be grateful toward him if she truly became a great trainer.
“Sir.”
Zhong Lingtong looked at Su Ping and said reluctantly, “Can I come back to see you?”
“Of course,” Su Ping smiled and said, “Anytime. I’m not selling you off. You will still be on Rhea.”
Zhong Lingtong was relieved. “That’s good to know.”
“Work hard and try to become a master trainer someday, so that you can come back and help me,” said Su Ping with a smile.
“Of course.”
...
Su Ping saw off Pablo, O’Neil and the other visitors. Zhong Lingtong also left, following her new teacher.
Tang Ruyan was quite reluctant to see her go. They had already become besties after having spent such a long time together while working in Su Ping’s shop.
They were even closer since they were foreigners on a strange planet.
After Zhong Lingtong left, Tang Ruyan approached Su Ping and implored with a pair of glittering eyes, “Can you find a teacher for me too?”
“No.”
Su Ping declined without even looking at her.
“Why not?” Tang Ruyan couldn’t help but ask.
“Who’s going to work for me if you’re gone?”
“...I can always come back in my spare time.”
“No,” Su Ping said matter-of-factly, “You’re just a temporary employee, there’s no contract between us, and I’m not giving you any salary. However, you must carry out your duties as an employee and work for our shop devotedly. How can you do other things?”
“...”
How can you possibly be this shameless, talking like that?
What a goddamn capitalist!
Tang Ruyan glared at Su Ping with puffed cheeks.
She quickly gave in to disappointment, as Su Ping didn’t notice her at all; he was simply focused on sorting the ledgers. He didn’t even bother to raise his head when her eyes were already sore.
What a leech... A gloomy and angry Tang Ruyan turned around and left.
Su Ping glanced at her back, thinking that it was indeed time to give her some training.
Otherwise, the aura of potential Star State customers could horrify her; she couldn’t possibly work well under such circumstances.
Do I have to repeat what I did? But I had a system item that helped erase her memories last time. I don’t have the item anymore... Speaking of system items, the store should have been refreshed by now, right?
Tempted by the possibility, Su Ping was going to check for new items, but then a few magnificent auras approached the shop.
Huh?
Su Ping narrowed his eyes and looked outside.
He was quite sensitive when it had to do with killing intent. Some of the strangers were Star State warriors who were openly radiating a killing intent. Are they here for trouble?
...
“This is the place?”
Three strangers landed outside the shop. Their nonchalant faces changed when they saw the long line outside the shop.
They had seen shops with booming sales, but none as popular as this one.
The customers waiting in line... were too many!
The queue actually stretched out almost beyond the scope of their senses, almost reaching the city limits.
A young man in a white robe narrowed his eyes and said, “I can’t detect what’s inside this shop. There’s indeed something off about it.”
The muscular middle-aged man in the middle frowned and said, “Don’t be rash. The barriers of this shop are rare. You can’t buy them if you don’t have a powerful background.”
He reached such a conclusion because he found that his senses were also unable to penetrate the shop’s wall.
He had a Star State cultivation, and had practiced secret techniques for advanced perception. And yet, he couldn’t detect anything, apart from what his eyes could see!
“Go and ask the shop owner to talk with us here,” said the middle-aged man in a low voice.
He didn’t step into the shop, as he was afraid that there might be fatal traps within.
There was a change in the white-robed young man’s expression, but he didn’t dare to defy the order. He also didn’t think the guy would be bold enough to attack him.
The young man stepped out and shouted without entering the shop, “Anyone inside? Come out!”
All the people in the queue were astonished to see that happen.
They had noticed that the strangers were extraordinary. The white-robed young man in particular; he didn’t bother to cover his Fate State cultivation. He was obviously stronger than all the others.
It was for that reason that the strangers weren’t yelled at for cutting in line when they had just arrived.
The others would have shouted if someone else would have moved to the front of the queue.
The customers in the queue whispered.
“Did they come here looking for trouble? They’re truly bold!”
“The boss is a Star State warrior. He can easily smash and kill the likes of you.”
“Tsk, tsk. Are they members from the Ryan family? That doesn’t make any sense. Didn’t the Ryans make peace with the shop?”
“You can tell from their hair color that they’re not from the Ryan family or even this planet. They seem to be foreigners.”
The three strangers’ ears twitched upon hearing “Star State.” The young man who had shouted was both stunned and shocked.
Is there a Star State expert in the shop?
He couldn’t help but look back at the middle-aged behind him, and was finally relieved to see the confidence on the latter’s face.
“Huh?”
Su Ping had already gone to the shop’s door. He easily recognized that two of the strangers were at the top of the Fate State and had a vast amount of energy; they were a lot stronger than peak Fate State individuals that Su Ping had ever seen.
The person in the middle, however, was a Star State expert concealing his strength.
“Why are you making such a fuss here?” asked Su Ping.
Tang Ruyan tagged along, eager to watch the drama.
“You’re here!”
The white-robed young man recognized Su Ping immediately. Not expecting to find him that quickly, he said, “Did you kill a student from my academy in the city suburbs?”
“The suburbs?”
Su Ping rolled his eyes when he heard that, quickly figuring out their identity.
“You’re from the Hugh Mia Academy? Yes. I’m the one who killed her.” Su Ping admitted it openly.
Su Ping’s words exploded like a bomb. The customers who had been whispering in the queue were stunned; they could only look at the three strangers in shock.
They were from the Hugh Mia Academy, one of the five best academies?
It was an academy full of talents. Any of their students was a one-in-a-billion genius!
Their distinguished students could easily defeat enemies above their level. Most of them reached the Star State when they graduated; some even became Star Lords!
Any Star Lord was strong enough to dominate an entire galaxy!
Su Ping, however, had killed a student from the Hugh Mia Academy?
Imagine the trouble he had gotten himself into!
Everybody looked at Su Ping in shock. They knew that Su Ping was a Star State expert, but such a move was still too bold!
“And you still try to deny... Huh?”
Halfway through his sentence, the white-robed young man was left in shock.
He admitted what he did just like that?
He didn’t bother explaining a thing.
The young man said gloomily, “Do you know the consequences for killing a student from my academy?”
“Do I have to answer for it with my own life?” Su Ping chuckled.
His mood became sour after learning that they were people from the Hugh Mia Academy. Still, he actually looked casual and approachable when he was angry.
He was reminded that the foreigners that went to the Blue Planet during the Abyss Battle were also from the Hugh Mia Academy!
They had gone to the Blue Planet to recruit students, ignoring the planet itself and simply taking away the carefully chosen geniuses without showing any intention of helping.
Well, they weren’t morally obliged to help.
Even considering their statuses as members of the academia, they had no sympathy for the lives of an entire planet that at the time was in great danger. Even if such an academy had produced Ascendant State experts, Su Ping would still despise it.
If the students didn’t even know how to be human, how could they become real experts?
They are merely pathetic creatures who blindly pursue strength!
“Not just your own life, but also your family’s!” declared the white-robed young man coldly, “How can the life of a mortal compare to that of a student from my academy? They are the best geniuses, millions of times more valuable than ordinary people!”
“Is that so?”
Su Ping chuckled and said, “She was just an ant for my ants. So much for the one-in-a-billion genius.”
“You!”
The white-robed young man burst into fury. He didn’t expect the murderer to be that arrogant!
He acted so bold and unrepentant, even after knowing they were from the Hugh Mia Academy!
“You think you can do anything you want because some Star State warrior is backing you? Not even Star State experts can possibly make such bold declarations!” said the young man furiously.
