Chapter 494: Chapter 459 I Want to Invest in You!

Yu Ke... Upon seeing the content, Qiao Sang immediately remembered who this person was.

How did she find me?

What does she want from me?

It was only during the auction of the Qingfeng Compass that I drew some attention. She couldn’t be coming for the Qingfeng Compass, could she?

Questions after questions surfaced in Qiao Sang’s mind.

After thinking for a while, she tucked the letter into her pocket.

She decided to contact the other party after her training. After all, she was quite curious about why this person would specifically look for her and how she found her.

...

Yulai Bay.

The villa district is on the prime land in the northern area of the Imperial Capital.

The grey and black pet beast that had delivered the letter to Qiao Sang drifted into one of the tall three-story villas inside.

Yu Ke, who was sitting on the sofa, saw the beast float in and quickly stood up to ask eagerly,

"Did you deliver the letter?"

"Li Li."

The grey and black pet beast nodded.

Yu Ke’s eyes lit up and she checked her phone, her expression revealing disappointment: "Then why hasn’t she contacted me yet?"

At this moment, a beautiful girl, who looked to be around 16 years old, sitting on another sofa, spoke up:

"Sis, are you sure you didn’t recognize the wrong person?"

Though she spoke, her eyes did not leave the virtual screen in front of her, where the replay of today’s National Monster Taming School League was playing.

"How could I be mistaken? She was the only one wearing a school uniform at that time." Yu Ke said: "I have a vivid memory of what she looked like. It’s definitely Qiao Sang, the one who made it to the trending searches today."

"But she’s from the Yuhua Region. How would she have an invitation card for the Mo Zhen auction?" Yu Le inquired.

Yu Ke put down her phone: "What’s so strange about that? I guess her elders gave her one seeing as she came to the Zhongkong Region."

"Even if it really is her, she probably does not wish to deal with you. Didn’t she not even tell you her name at the auction?" Yu Le remarked.

"The context is different now." Yu Ke retorted: "Back then, she came alone to an auction in a different region, without anyone accompanying her, so a bit of caution was completely normal."

"You’d better not get your hopes up." Yu Le, still focusing on the match on the virtual screen, said:

"These people with good family backgrounds and high beast taming talents are all so proud. They always think they’re different from those of us who only have prestigious backgrounds. There’s a boy in our class who made it into the school team for personal combat. He got eliminated in the district matches and still acts like he’s on a different level from us every day. Not to mention someone like Qiao Sang."

"Sigh..." Yu Ke sank back into the sofa, her face showing a trace of fatigue.

Though unwilling to admit it, she couldn’t deny that her sister had a point.

In major families, talent was particularly highly regarded.

If the talent was great, even those from collateral branches would be given substantial resources by the Yu family.

After all, possessing a high talent meant not just other benefits but also a longer lifespan compared to the average person.

The longer you live, the more opportunities you have in a certain field.

Despite her talent not being outstanding, even contracting a talented and rare pet beast due to her family’s support did not earn her equal respect from people in the same circles.

There was once a direct descendant of the Yu family named Yu Youwei who, at great cost to the family, contracted a purebred Helong. However, he never developed his brain domain to the point where he could contract two pet beasts and died in his seventies.

At that time, the Helong had already evolved into a General-level Nautical Giant Dragon, which refused to contract with anyone else.

For a General-level pet beast, forcing a contract when it is unwilling is very dangerous, so the family thought to first adopt a conciliatory approach, wait for a while until it softened its attitude, and then bring up the contract again.

However, taking advantage of when the family was not paying attention, the Nautical Giant Dragon entered the Secret Realm and never appeared again.

Since then, the Yu family placed even more emphasis on talent.

Even though she was a direct descendant, her talent had not awakened autonomously, and the development of her brain domain was slow. Now that she was in college, she still only had one high-level pet beast.

At this rate, she would never be considered for the true top-level resources from the Yu family; she estimated that in a few years, she would probably be sent off in an arranged marriage.

She didn’t want to live her life like that, so she made an effort to build good relationships with people in her social circle to seek another way out.

And at that time, Qiao Sang appeared.

Originally, when the auction ended and the person had disappeared, she didn’t think much of it, at most feeling a bit wistful. But then she saw the trending news.

At 15 years old, having three high-level pet beasts, maintaining an undefeated record in the senior high section of the National Monster Taming School League... such a character had never appeared before, not just in the Zhongkong Region but in history. She nearly popped her eyes out when she realized the person in the trending news was the same girl sitting next to her at the auction.
