"No." Liu Yao said calmly, "Maybe it’s not the right time yet."
After a pause, he asked, "Why did you suddenly call me? Is there something going on?"
Ever since officially participating in the campus Beast Taming League, not needing his help to ask for leave, Qiao Sang rarely contacted him proactively.
Qiao Sang coughed and said, "Yaobao evolved."
The other end of the line suddenly went quiet.
After a few seconds, Liu Yao collected himself, and tried to confirm with a steady voice:
"Are you saying Flame Kiru evolved?"
Qiao Sang let out a "mm", and immediately recounted the story he had earlier described to Teacher Mikaela with vivid detail.
So, I didn’t hear it wrong, it really evolved... Liu Yao was in a daze again.
This time, he stayed dazed for a long while.
Long enough for Qiao Sang to think there was a signal cut-off problem with his phone, then Liu Yao, with a trembling voice, said:
"Where are you now? I’ll come find you right away!"
"I’m in Tianlie City in the Zhongkong Region, heading to Tian’an City tomorrow. You should just come to Tian’an City to find me." Qiao Sang said.
Liu Yao was taken aback:
"Why are you in the Zhongkong Region?"
"I’m out training with my mentor from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy." Qiao Sang explained, "She brought me to participate in the regional tournament here in the Zhongkong Region. The Secret Realm I just mentioned is the location where I need to complete my final task."
After speaking, she thought of something, her eyes lit up, and said:
"Right, the regional tournament is about to officially start in a few days, you can come watch me compete."
Liu Yao was silent for the third time.
He never expected Qiao Sang to participate in a regional tournament.
Still, in the Zhongkong Region.
Before he could say anything, Qiao Sang continued excitedly:
"You know what’s funny, Adinixi’s prediction was spot on, not only was Yaobao’s evolution location exactly as predicted, but Lubao’s was too."
"Wait!" Liu Yao didn’t quite understand: "What do you mean Lubao too?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Lubao evolved too." Qiao Sang said with a smile, "And it evolved a few months before Yaobao."
Dead silence.
Liu Yao’s mind was slightly hazy.
Could it be he remembered wrong, and it wasn’t six months they were apart, but six years?
