“Such a straightforward guy!”
Huo Xian’er couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
After all, she was the Young Lady of the Huo family. How could she possibly owe a debt and not repay it?
Was this really necessary?
Did he think she had no dignity?
“Well… I’m here to compete. How could I possibly carry that many Federation Credit Points with me? Don’t worry, as the Young Lady of the Huo family, I won’t owe you anything.”
“Just a hundred thousand Federation Credit Points. Once the first phase of the exam is over, I’ll give it to you.”
“After all, even though we’ve cooperated in this Secret Realm, whether we can get out smoothly is still uncertain.”
Huo Xian’er crossed her arms, speaking logically.
Thinking about it, it did make sense.
After all, she was a well-known figure. It was unlikely she would break her promise for a mere hundred thousand Federation Credit Points.
Ye Ling frowned slightly but eventually compromised.
Huo Xian’er had a point. Who would carry that many Federation Credit Points around for no reason?
“Alright, in that case, let’s write a contract. Sign your name and stamp your handprint.”
With that, Ye Ling took out paper and pen and quickly wrote up a contract.
Soon, a completed contract appeared in front of Huo Xian’er.
It clearly stated that Ye Ling would help Huo Xian’er successfully pass the first phase of the exam.
The condition was that Huo Xian’er would pay a hundred thousand Federation Credit Points.
Looking at the simple terms, Huo Xian’er didn’t know what to say.
She was almost speechless.
Was this really necessary? Did he think she would actually owe him?
However, seeing Ye Ling’s determined expression, Huo Xian’er gave up on trying to persuade him.
She glared at Ye Ling, her face full of displeasure, and snatched the contract, signing her name.
As for the handprint, with so much blood on the ground, Huo Xian’er casually dipped her finger in some blood and pressed it onto her name.
“Is this good enough?”
Annoyed, Huo Xian’er tossed the contract back to Ye Ling.
Catching the contract, Ye Ling carefully reviewed it and, after confirming there were no issues, put it away.
“Alright, our contract is complete. Rest assured, for the next day, I will protect you.”
“After all… you’re worth a hundred thousand Federation Credit Points.”
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Huo Xian’er felt a bit happy.
But as soon as she heard the second half, that tiny bit of happiness vanished instantly.
“Got it! Hmph!”
With a light snort, Huo Xian’er turned her back on Ye Ling.
She didn’t want to see Ye Ling’s annoying face right now.
As for Ye Ling, he continued his work, dismantling evolution materials.
…
Meanwhile, outside the Secret Realm.
Huo Ling, who had been in a very bad mood, was now in high spirits after seeing Huo Xian’er being saved by Ye Ling.
“Giggle! It looks like someone is going to be disappointed. Our little girl from the Huo family seems to have quite the luck.”
“She actually ran into that kid Ye Ling. Otherwise, she might have really been eliminated.”
Covering her mouth with a light laugh, Huo Ling glanced provocatively at Bai Tong.
She clearly remembered Bai Tong’s gloating expression earlier.
Now that things hadn’t gone as Bai Tong wished, Huo Ling was naturally very pleased.
Not only was her family’s junior safe, but she also got to slap Bai Tong in the face.
On the other side, Bai Tong, who had been ready to gloat, now felt like he had been slapped hard. Naturally, he wasn’t in a good mood.
“Hmph!”
With a cold snort, Bai Tong turned his head away, refusing to look at Huo Ling’s irritatingly smug face.
His face slightly darkened, Bai Tong hadn’t expected Huo Xian’er to be so lucky, running into Ye Ling.
Seeing the shift in their positions, Lu Feng and Hong Xiu exchanged a helpless smile.
“Who would’ve thought? We all thought the little girl from the Huo family was done for, but Ye Ling managed to turn the tide.”
Lu Feng sighed slightly. Huo Xian’er was indeed lucky.
They had clearly seen Huo Xian’er about to press the emergency teleport button.
But then Ye Ling appeared out of nowhere and interrupted her.
Hong Xiu chuckled.
“Yeah, who would’ve thought Ye Ling would show up at such a critical moment? But what surprised me more was the strength Ye Ling displayed.
No, it should be said, the strength of his Spiritual Pet seemed too strong.”
Recalling the earlier battle, Hong Xiu had to admit that Ye Ling truly deserved the treatment given by the principal.
No wonder the Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy wanted to recruit him. He was indeed extraordinary.
A genius!
Compared to this, Lu Feng now felt a bit of a headache.
Ye Ling’s performance was simply too outstanding.
“Yeah, it seems that now all four top Spirit Tamer Academies have their eyes on Ye Ling.
What I didn’t expect was that even your Vermilion Bird Spirit Tamer Academy, which never recruits boys, would break this rule for Ye Ling. It’s really surprising.”
