"I thought you'd at least wait until after New Year's Day, once this year's national Breeder Competition was over, before coming!"
Su Ping had arrived without a sound.
He had drawn no attention or stir.
In fact, perhaps most people still thought he was in Beihan City,
rather than at a military camp on the Dragon Nation's far northern border.
Inside the camp's central command room, Master Leng spoke.
Su Ping breathed out a mouthful of the cold air he had brought in with him before saying:
"Something came up, so I came over. I'll take a look inside the Heavenly Tomb while I'm here and get things settled."
The corner of Master Leng's mouth twitched. The Heavenly Tomb was something even Lord Sacred Dragon paid close attention to. Why did this brat make it sound like a trip to an amusement park?
He spoke earnestly. "Su Ping, the Heavenly Tomb is no small matter. Don't get overconfident! Be careful. If anything happens, it won't just be your own loss-it'll be a tremendous loss for the Dragon Nation!"
Su Ping smiled. "Yes! But I really do have some other business this time, too. Master Leng, do you know where I could find the remains of a high-level sword-type pet beast? The better preserved, the better."
"A sword-type corpse? What do you want that for?"
Master Leng looked doubtful.
Clearly, when Yin Luo arrived yesterday, he had not mentioned this matter to him.
"I might need it for a pet beast's evolution. After some preliminary experiments, it should be more or less right, so I need the remains of a high-level sword-type pet beast as breeding material."
"Using a broken sword body as breeding material? What bizarre evolved form are you trying to come up with this time, brat?"
Master Leng
