Beast Taming: the More the Better

This script is incorrect, isn't it?

Facing Xiao Lu's questioning gaze, Ling Xiaoxiao was also a bit confused, but she still stomped her foot. "Let's go and check it out! Although the Dean has a staff-only elevator, as I said, Xiao Xue will definitely go separately. I don't believe it! That Su Ping must have already arrived!"

However, their movements and whispered exchanges caused several people nearby to pause slightly. Among them was a young man, none other than Dong Muxuan, who had just returned from the Trial Tower.

Ling Xiaoxiao was the president of the Magic Capital Academy's Combat Club, and Lu Xiaolu was the vice-president of the Student Council. Both were prominent figures, so the very act of them whispering secretly was already attention-grabbing. Not to mention, they were also roommates with Miss Qin. But even with all this, Dong Muxuan wouldn't normally care.

However, from their whispers, he caught a name he had heard several times in recent days. Su Ping!?

Dong Muxuan ignored the seniors from his club standing beside him and looked at the two young women with surprise. The name was quite common, so Dong Muxuan wanted to confirm. "Seniors?"

"Hmm?" Ling Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaolu turned their heads, looking at the newcomer in surprise before smiling slightly. "Oh, it's you, Junior Brother Dong."

Dong Muxuan, a junior who had enrolled less than two years ago, was familiar to them from the five-year Magic Capital Academy. This was because he had another identity: the disciple of the Space Element Professor, Hunter Sky. Moreover, his Talent and his strength in Controlling Beasts were both exceptional.

"Seniors, did you just mention Su Ping?"

Ling Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaolu exchanged a look, the fire of Bagua in their eyes flaring even brighter.

In fact, their familiarity with Dong Muxuan stemmed from something Miss Qin had once mentioned: her father apparently wanted to arrange a blind date for her, and the prospective partner was none other than this Junior Dong!

What is this situation? A love battlefield!?

The two young women were inwardly excited but still knew how to handle the situation. They didn't know what Junior Dong was thinking, but Miss Qin was definitely not interested in him; her interest was clearly focused on that Su Ping.

Therefore, as Miss Qin's staunch supporters, even though the junior before them was handsome with a bright future, and Lord Hunter Sky was one of the most powerful professors at the academy, they knew which side to be on.

At a time like this, indulging in a bit of Bagua and light gossip was harmless; it might even help them bond. However, if they revealed anything, and Dong Muxuan, in a moment of recklessness, did something to upset Miss Qin, the relationship between the three of them—Ling Xiaoxiao, Lu Xiaolu, and Miss Qin—would undoubtedly suffer.

After all, how many fools could enter Magic Capital Academy and achieve their current standing and strength?

So, Ling Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaolu exchanged a glance. Lu Xiaolu then blinked her large, innocent eyes. "Junior, you must have misheard, right?"

"That's right! Su Ping who?"

Dong Muxuan's brow furrowed slightly. He was certain he hadn't misheard. However, his companions chimed in, "Yeah, Junior Dong, why are you asking about him? I know a first-year student with the surname Su, but I don't think that's his given name. The seniors are heading to the Trial Tower; let's not disturb them."

These two seniors held a special status in the academy, so it wouldn't be appropriate to press them further. Dong Muxuan could only nod. Their denial only confirmed his suspicions.

In fact, if he knew what the two young women were actually thinking, he would undoubtedly feel helpless.

Previously, when that President Qin had suggested he try to get to know his daughter, Dong Muxuan had been more than willing.

The Dong Family was currently in decline. Even with their remaining heritage, they were incomparable to the likes of Lord Sang Sheng, who was like a rising sun and wielded significant authority.

If he could establish a connection with her family, it would be immensely beneficial for his future prospects.

However, after Miss Qin showed no interest, even standing him up directly, Dong Muxuan understood the situation. He certainly wasn't the type to be shamelessly persistent.

Yet, he had heard the name Su Ping far too many times.

Initially, when chatting with his sister, Dong Muyun, about Qin Xiaoxue, she had told him that Miss Qin had returned to Linzhou during the last summer break and had become quite close with this Su Ping from Linzhou.

At that time, Dong Muxuan had felt quite indignant. A mere country bumpkin from Linzhou, how could he possibly compare to me?

Then, this indignation had completely vanished more than half a month ago. His father—the nominal Family Head of their Jianghai Dong Family—had called him, his youngest son.

The content of the call was simple: "Persuade your sister."

His sister had fallen out with the family. Regarding this, Dong Muxuan felt no doubt or anger; on the contrary, he was actually happy for her.

Dong Muxuan understood his sister. After all, they were full siblings, children of the principal wife, and their bond was completely different from their relationship with their so-called elder brother born of a concubine.

However, his father had called, asking him to persuade his sister. But the ultimate aim of this persuasion, shockingly, wasn't to patch things up with his sister for the family. Instead, it was to use his sister's connections to arrange a meeting with that Su Ping!?
