"Xun xun?"
Little Treasure looked at the drastically changed surroundings with a thoroughly bewildered expression.
"Qing qing...
Qingbao blanked out at first, but upon spotting her Beast Tamer, she put on a picture of pure innocence, blinking her eyes. Immediately after, however, she caught sight of the surrounding environment, and an uneasy premonition welled up in her heart.
With a tranquil expression, Qiao Sang asked: "Didn't you two say you were watching the matches on site?"
Little Treasure was just about to answer.
At this moment, a middle-aged man passing nearby walked over, looking at Qingbao with a pleasantly surprised expression as he said:
"Qinyin Fairy, your match today was truly magnificent! I didn't expect to run into you here, I thought you had already gone back after your match."
"Xun xun..."
Hearing this, Little Treasure took another look at the surrounding environment, instantly realizing where they were, a look of utter horror surfacing on his face.
Goodness, how could his Beast Tamer recall them right here!
Could it be that she already knew he and Qingbao hadn't watched the matches and had sneakily gone out to play?
It's over, it's over! His Beast Tamer definitely knew!
At this thought, Little Treasure's mind was filled entirely with the words it's over. His face was practically written all over with panic and guilt. Not daring to look in his Beast Tamer's direction, he silently concealed his figure
"Qing qing."
Qingbao realized what was happening as well, her body stiffening. However, she managed her facial expression very quickly, offering a sweet response.
"Are you the Qinyin Fairy's Beast Tamer?" The middle-aged man looked over.
Qiao Sang uttered an "Mhm."
"Since you're right here, why didn't you bring the Qinyin Fairy up to compete?" The man asked.
"I had some matters to attend to and just rushed over." Qiao Sang answered.
"The Qinyin Fairy performed amazingly well, my daughter loves her very much."
The man said enthusiastically: "You look about the same age as my daughter, I didn't expect you to be able to nurture such an exceptional pet."
"Indeed."
Qiao Sang offered a fake smile: "Even after her match ended, she still wasn't willing to go back, saying she wanted to stay behind to watch the matches and study her opponents."
...Qingbao tried her best to maintain her facial expression.
Little Treasure threw Qingbao a glance that clearly said, I told you not to lie to our Beast Tamer!
Unfortunately, since he was currently in an invisible state, Qingbao couldn't see it.
After a few brief pleasantries.
Once the middle-aged man walked away, Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure and Qingbao expressionlessly.
Although Little Treasure was currently in an invisible state, he remained clearly visible to her.
Little Treasure and Qingbao's bodies froze simultaneously.
"Xun xun~"
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Little Treasure revealed himself, offering a flattering smile.
"Where did you go?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Yap yap?"
Hearing the question, Yabao put on a clueless expression. Didn't they say they were watching the matches?
Gangbao cast a sympathetic look at Little Treasure.
Lubao silently poked her head out of the backpack, pricking up her ears.
Only Little Tingbao had his eyes closed, sleeping soundly.
"Qing qing..."
Qingbao blinked her eyes at Little Treasure, as if treating him as her main pillar of support.
"Xun xun..."
Biting the bullet, Little Treasure let out a call, indicating that they had gone out to eat.
"And what else?" Qiao Sang asked calmly.
"Xun xun..." Little Treasure called out weakly.
They also walked around a bit.
"Yap yap?"
Yabao put on a "What?" expression. Didn't you say you were watching the matches?
"Didn't you two say you were watching the matches on site?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure's head drooped lower and lower.
"Qing qing..."
Opening her pure, clear eyes, Qingbao let out a call, indicating she was only afraid of getting scolded if she told the truth. Besides, Little Treasure could use Spatial Shift, going out for a bite and walking around for a few minutes before returning to watch the matches was very fast.
"Did you two eat outside yesterday as well?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure nodded his head.
Hearing this, Qingbao's eyes revealed a weary feeling of I can't carry this teammate.
"Whose idea was it?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Xun xun!"
"Qing qing!"
Little Treasure and Qingbao rapidly pointed at each other simultaneously.
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure looked at Qingbao in sheer disbelief.
You were clearly the one who lied to our Beast Tamer saying you wanted to stay at the venue to watch the matches!
"Qing qing!"
Qingbao called out in flustered embarrassment.
Our Beast Tamer is currently asking whose idea it was to go out!
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure's momentum deflated instantly.
Soon, however, he realized something wasn't right. Back when Qingbao finished her match, before he had even spoken a word, she had drifted toward the exit even faster than he did.
"Qing qing!"
Qingbao called out, asking if he had forgotten what he told her at the venue where the sixth child was competing!
Once your competition is over, we can explore the area properly... Recalling the travel guide map he had found and the words he had spoken, the last bit of momentum Little Treasure had vanished without a trace.
It really was his idea...
"So, to sum it up: One of you proposed going out to play, and the other made up an excuse about staying behind to watch the matches to lie to me." Qiao Sang summarized.
"Yap yap!"
Finally understanding the situation, Yabao looked at them with a look of disappointment, letting out a bark.
How could you do something like that? The matches are so great to watch. Wouldn't it be the same to go out and play after finishing watching the matches? What is there to lie to our Beast Tamer about?
Little Treasure: ...
Qingbao: ...
It's over. Her innocent image in her Beast Tamer's heart is gone... Qingbao's brain operated at high speed, her expression putting on a pitiful appearance.
Just as she prepared to find another excuse, Little Treasure stepped forward, drooping his head as he called out: "Xun xun..."
He was wrong. If he hadn't proposed going out to play, Qingbao wouldn't have lied.
Qingbao stared blankly at Little Treasure, her heart shuddering, seemingly not expecting him to say something like this at a critical moment like this.
Not bad, at least he knows how to proactively admit fault... Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure and said: "If you want to..."
"Qing qing!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Qingbao blocked the way in front of Little Treasure. Tears shimmered faintly in her eyes, and though she looked scared, she called out as if bolstering her courage.
It wasn't Little Treasure's fault. Truthfully, she really wanted to play as well, otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed right when Little Treasure proposed it. Plus, she was the one who told the lie, so don't blame Little Treasure.
With that, the tears held back in her eye sockets fell silently.
"Xun xun..."
Seeing Qingbao's back from behind, Little Treasure wore a face full of emotion.
Qiao Sang: ...
I haven't even said anything yet...
Qiao Sang ultimately let out a sigh and said: "I can understand that you two want to go out and play, but there's no need to lie to me. If I didn't want you to go out to eat and shop, I wouldn't have chosen to give you money."
Little Treasure grew even more ashamed.
"Qing qing..."
The tears in Qingbao's eyes streamed down even faster.
Gangbao cast a silent glance at Qingbao from the side.
Qiao Sang continued: "In the future, if there's anything you want to do, just say it directly. I hope you won't lie to me again."
Her Beast Tamer truly remains soft-hearted as always... Qingbao raised her head, just as she was about to put on an emotional "I will definitely never do this again" expression and wipe away a tear to turn over a new leaf and maintain her obedient image deep in her Beast Tamer's heart...
Little Treasure beat her to the punch, rushing forward to hug his Beast Tamer and rub against her furiously, letting out two calls with a crying tone: "Xun xun! Xun xun!"
He definitely won't do this again in the future! If he goes out to play in the future, he will definitely say it directly!
Qingbao: ...
Qiao Sang felt deeply gratified. Having watched Little Treasure grow up, she could naturally tell he was sincere, and she couldn't help but say in a gentle tone: "Alright, stop crying. Let's go watch the matches."
This matter is finally over... Qingbao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xun xun~"
Wiping away a tear, Little Treasure floated to the side and called out with a sincere expression
He shouldn't go watch anymore then. After all, he didn't participate in this tournament anyway, so having Qingbao go watch is enough. He hasn't played enough outside just now, so once you finish watching the matches, just recall him directly.
Qiao Sang: ...
Qingbao: ...
"That works too." Qiao Sang thought for a moment and agreed.
Little Treasure already had experience moving independently back on Chaosu Star, and the range she could sense now was very wide, so she wasn't afraid of Little Treasure getting lost.
Besides, she had just promised him to speak directly if he wanted to do something. If she rejected him right after saying that, Little Treasure might go out to play behind her back without her knowing in the future.
"Xun xun~" Little Treasure called out happily, waved his paw at Qingbao, and turned to depart merrily.
Qingbao: !!!
"Go on, let's watch the matches." Qiao Sang gestured toward the direction of the battle fields with her eyes.
"Qing qing."
Qingbao nodded her head with a forced smile.

5:30 PM.
After watching the matches, under Spengami's Spatial Shift, Qiao Sang and Yabao's group returned instantly to their residential villa.
"Teacher, we're back!" Qiao Sang called out.
No response.
"Peng peng." Spengami called out.
"Teacher isn't here?" Qiao Sang confirmed.
"Peng peng." Spengami nodded his head.
With that, he teleported and vanished on the spot.
Without dwelling on it, Qiao Sang walked into the kitchen, pulled ingredients from the refrigerator, and began preparing dinner.
Gangbao followed behind her Beast Tamer, entering the kitchen to help. Purple light gleamed on her wings as she directly executed Wing Blade to slice the ingredients.
Yabao and the others went out to the open-air training field to train.
Half an hour later, dinner was ready.
Seeing that Teacher Mikayla had yet to return, Qiao Sang pulled out her phone and dialed her number.
After several beeps, the call went through.
"Hello." Teacher Mikayla's slightly exhausted voice rang out through the phone.
"Teacher, I've finished making dinner. When will you be back?" Qiao Sang asked.
"You go ahead and eat first. I still have some matters to attend to; no need to wait for me." Mikayla said.
Promptly after, a "Mo..." sound transmitted through the speaker.
Before Qiao Sang could speak, Mikayla said at an extremely rapid pace: "I'll hang up first, I have things to do."
With that, she hung up the call directly.
Why is Teacher acting so strange today... Qiao Sang set down her phone and called Yabao and the rest over to eat dinner.
After finishing dinner, Yabao, Lubao, and Qingbao went back out to train.
Gangbao cleared the table, while Little Treasure patted his large belly, letting out a loud burp, looking for all the world like he was stuffed to capacity.
Tingbao looked toward his Beast Tamer.
"Aren't you going out to train?" Qiao Sang noticed Tingbao's gaze and asked casually.
"Lei lei?"
Tingbao called out, asking when she was going to meditate.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure let out a burp and helped translate.
The sixth child is telling you to go meditate.
Qiao Sang: ...
"No rush." Qiao Sang said.
"I'll find Professor Jacqueline first to test your Lightning Rod trait."
Saying that, she picked up her phone and dialed Professor Jacqueline's number.
When she delivered energy pellets for Tingbao last time, she had saved her phone number.
Unlike Multiscale, which could only be tested through battles between pets, a trait like Lightning Rod could be tested directly using electrical equipment in addition to finding Electric-type pets of different ranks.
Generally speaking, high-ranking, comprehensive Breeders kept relevant equipment on hand to examine the condition of Electric-type pets.
Very quickly, the call went through.
"Professor Jacqueline, it's Qiao Sang."
Qiao Sang cut straight to the chase: "Are you free right now? Tingbao triggered his Lightning Rod trait today, and I'd like to help inspect the rank of this trait for him."
On other planets, if an Imperial Class student encountered an issue and asked for help, any professor was obligated to assist, let alone after Qiao Sang had helped her resolve the troublesome Envoy of Ill Omen not long ago.
Jacqueline stated without a second thought: "I'm free. Wait for me."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Tingbao looked at Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and began meditating.
After roughly twenty minutes had passed, the doorbell rang.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure floated over to open the door.
"Hello."
"Fu lu."
Jacqueline and Fulu Tiantian, who was holding a square device, offered a greeting at the doorway and stepped inside.
"You're here, Professor." Hearing the commotion, Qiao Sang opened her eyes, walked to the kitchen, and poured two cups of beverages.
"Where is Teacher Mikayla?" Jacqueline scanned the surroundings and inquired.
"She has some matters to attend to and hasn't returned yet." Qiao Sang said while placing the two cups of beverages onto the coffee table.
"Fu lu."
Setting down the device, Fulu Tiantian let out a polite call to express gratitude, then picked up a cup and took a sip.
Carrying the device over to Tingbao's side, Jacqueline attached conductive pads onto Tingbao's body.
Knowing what this human was doing through what his Beast Tamer had said earlier, Tingbao cooperated quietly.
"I will conduct electricity onto your body next. If you feel pain, let me know." Jacqueline said.
"Lei lei."
Tingbao nodded his head
Jacqueline pressed a specific gear button, and rows of yellow electrical arcs instantly surfaced from the conductive pads.
There was no change in Tingbao's facial expression.
Seeing this, Jacqueline switched to another gear.
Tingbao's expression remained unchanged.
Jacqueline adjusted it again. After adjusting the gear several times, the lightning power bursting from the conductive pads enveloped almost Tingbao's entire body.
Tingbao let out no painful shriek.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure looked at this scene in amazement.
Does the sixth child really not feel pain at all...
The yellow lightning power covered Tingbao's entire face, making it impossible to see his expression. Jacqueline asked: "Does it hurt?"
"Lei lei.
Tingbao's voice sounded.
It doesn't hurt.
Without needing a pet to help translate, Jacqueline already knew his answer through Tingbao's unvarying tone.
She pressed a button on the device.
The yellow lightning power vanished.
"Lei lei?"
Tingbao put on a puzzled expression, letting out a call
Not continuing anymore?
Jacqueline looked toward Qiao Sang, flashing a smile as she said: "Congratulations, it's an S-rank Lightning Rod."
Qiao Sang: !!!
