Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1351: Chapter 552: Vice President of the Beastmaster Association: Su Ping!

"Don’t be careless in your contact with the God of Spring. Since they have shown goodwill, let’s not push our luck. However, that little guy of yours is truly remarkable!

"Tsk, an Evolutionary Body that points directly to the Legendary Level! If it weren’t for your little fellow, I’m afraid many people would never see such a thing in their entire lives!"

This was certainly no exaggeration. When they returned to the Legion and Leng Ye and Su Anyong saw Qian Yi, their eyes had nearly popped out of their sockets.

Eventually, the Legend of the Holy Dragon paused before saying, "Su Ping, let me ask you one last question." He looked calmly at Su Ping. His incredibly ordinary eyes didn’t blink, fixing firmly on the young man as he asked, "Su Ping, will you ever betray or do anything to wrong your country and your people in the future?"

At this moment, Su Ping’s gaze was equally calm and resolute. "No."

The Legend of the Holy Dragon finally smiled and nodded. "Good. In that case, I believe you!"

With that said, he slowly took an item out of his jacket. It was not a resource, nor was it an object with Energy fluctuations. Instead, it was a special certificate.

However, the moment they saw this certificate, both Su Anyong and the nearby Leng Ye felt their pupils shrink. This was because the certificate lacked any special badges or decorations; it bore only a single insignia. It was an emblem of two intersecting dragons.

Beneath this pattern were several large characters: *Dragon Country Beastmaster Association*.

"What is this?" Su Ping took it curiously, opened it, and then immediately tossed it onto the desk, staring fixedly at the Legend of the Holy Dragon in front of him.

"What’s wrong? Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?" the Legend of the Holy Dragon asked with a smile.

"Holy Dragon, this isn’t a joke."

In truth, there was only one line written inside the open certificate: *Awarding Su Ping the position of Vice President of the Beastmaster Association.*

That’s right, it was the Beastmaster Association, not the Breeder Association. Although he currently held a concurrent position in the Breeder Association, once reaching this Level, the significance of these two departments was entirely different.

The reason was simple. The Legend of the Holy Dragon only had one true official title and position: the President of the Beastmaster Association. Now, the underlying meaning of being given the role of Vice President of the Beastmaster Association was self-evident.

It felt as if a massive mountain had suddenly dropped onto his shoulders, making him shake his head decisively.

"No way, absolutely not, Holy Dragon. My age is completely unsuited for this. I still need to gain experience for a few more years. Besides, I don’t want to move to the Imperial Capital and stay in Dragon City. My home is in Jianghai, in Linzhou.

"I still have a lot of things to deal with at the Heart of Myriad Spirits... I also have quite a few Pet Beasts that haven’t finished their Breeding process yet. So, uh, if you don’t have anything else for me, I’ll be heading back now."

After speaking, Su Ping turned around and headed straight for the door. Then, he was abruptly pulled back by the Legend of the Holy Dragon, who let out a hearty laugh.

"Su Ping, I am now completely certain that you really haven’t been affected by that blasted Netherworld God. Zhu Hong and Meng Yao were right; all of your little schemes are entirely focused on your own little plot of land."

Su Ping nodded in deep agreement. "Holy Dragon, you’re exactly right. I’m just a man with no great ambitions. This kind of position isn’t suitable for me at all..."

Suddenly, the Legend of the Holy Dragon’s expression turned serious. "Su Ping, don’t forget what I told you the day before yesterday! Besides, it’s not like I’m forcing you to do anything immediately, so what are you panicking for?

"Furthermore, have you forgotten the situation with the Beast Taming Families? Are you trying to wash your hands of the matter and leave me hanging? Who else am I supposed to find now?"

Su Ping sighed. "Alright, but I’m only taking it as a concurrent position. There are so many top-tier senior Beastmasters at the Beastmaster Association headquarters, after all."

The Legend of the Holy Dragon shot a glance at this unenterprising, cowardly kid and shook his head. However, he wasn’t angry in the slightest; instead, he felt somewhat relieved.

Everyone went through a period of youthful arrogance. The allure of Power, Talent, authority, and wealth could cause even a normally cautious person to lose themselves completely. If the Su Ping before him had shown excitement and arrogance, it would have truly worried him. On the contrary, his current reaction of treading on thin ice was exactly the demeanor required to lead well in the future after his own departure.

Thus, he shifted his gaze toward the smiling Leng Ye and the worried Su Anyong standing nearby. He ignored Leng Ao, whom he was already well acquainted with, and focused specifically on Su Anyong.

"An Yong, I am of the same generation as Old Wolf, and your father was Old Wolf’s subordinate. You shouldn’t mind me addressing you like this, right?"

Su Anyong nodded, feeling incredibly flattered.

Only then did the Legend of the Holy Dragon smile faintly. "That’s good. Not only was Su Ping able to return safely from the Heavenly Tomb this time, but he also advanced to the Emperor Level at the mere age of twenty. This alone proves that he is a true genius. I can understand your feelings as a father, but from the perspective of the Dragon Nation, Su Ping still has a long way to go in his future."

He didn’t need to speak too explicitly; his words had already made Su Anyong understand perfectly.

However, Su Ping still reached out his hand. "Holy Dragon, let’s get this straight. I won’t be staying in Dragon City. I really do have a lot of things to take care of at the Heart of Myriad Spirits! Those are all projects that will boost the nation’s strength!"

For the first time, the Legend of the Holy Dragon glared fiercely at the boy. "Relax. In a while, I will send a message to the high-ranking Beastmasters of the Dragon Nation across various regions. Three days from now, everyone will gather in Dragon City. At that time, you and I will attend a meeting together and go through the motions.

"You can familiarize yourself with the active personnel, and then you can get the hell out."

Hearing this promise, Su Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief. That would work. Just the thought of ending up like Qin Erlong—sitting in an office all day either reviewing documents or doing meditation—made him feel like he’d rather die. Moreover, exactly as the man had said, even if he wanted to enter the Dragon Gate behind Dragon City, it wouldn’t be happening right now.

Su Ping’s strength had certainly received an exaggerated boost, but it would still be far too difficult to securely hold onto this Vice President position. If Su Ping were merely a newly promoted Legendary Level Breeding Master, no one would be dissatisfied. The High Level executives of the Beastmaster Association would even be eager to get closer to him. After all, there was a high probability of future collaboration.

But appearing in this position, it was obviously not going to be that simple. He just wondered how much longer he could enjoy his carefree days. Thinking of this, Su Ping put on a bitter face.

Glancing at the brat, the Legend of the Holy Dragon finally said, "The people from the Heavenly Tomb Army are all heroes and warriors. I’ve already arranged for someone to pick them up and send them directly back to the Dragon City Jade Dreamland to see if they can be healed. Don’t worry about them anymore.

"For these three days, I’ll accompany you to the Rong Family in Beiyuan. Coincidentally, we can also make some arrangements around the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land to see if we can set it up as an Undead Series treasure trove, just as you envisioned."

Going to the Rong Family?

These simple words made both Su Anyong and Su Ping’s hearts stir as they immediately understood the man’s intentions.

Su Anyong spoke up directly. "I’ll go make the arrangements."

***

Beihai City, the Rong Family.

At this moment, the sprawling estate was extremely bustling. Of course, this liveliness wasn’t particularly enjoyable.

The current Rong Family Patriarch, Rong Bao, had an extremely gloomy expression. Looking at the countless branch family ’elders’ filling the main hall, he felt somewhat helpless. Splitting the family was easy to say, but how could it be that simple? The Rong Family lineage had continued for so many years. As the common property of all Rong’s descendants, how could the Five Saints Secret Realms be divided? How were they supposed to divide the resources accumulated in the family vault from so many years of the Rong Family’s legacy?

Even though the decision had already been made, he believed he had done more than enough. Yet, it still provoked a massive amount of dissatisfaction. Even the Snake Ancestor harbored some doubts, questioning whether the move to split the family brought about by Su Ping was truly reasonable and correct.

However, amidst this noisy and chaotic situation, Rong Bao took out his ringing phone. His tightly furrowed brows couldn’t help but relax. "Hello, An Yong, what can I do for you?"

Right after he asked the question, a voice spoke from the other end of the line. Rong Bao’s expression turned incredibly stiff.

CLATTER.

The phone in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.
