Beast Taming Begins with Involuting Pets

Although the conditions offered by Lin Minsheng were very tempting, she not only accepted the apprenticeship gift, but also asked her three senior brothers to come.

Now that the spirit beast has been contracted and one of the protective gear has been destroyed, can she regret it just because she wants to? She had no choice but to refuse with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that she still refused to take him as her master, Lin Minsheng did not mention whether she would move on to the third year of high school and simply told her to get out. He probably didn't want to see her much recently.

Lin Manman found Xia Ming as soon as she got home and asked him how much he knew about the relationship between Lin Minsheng and Meng Wenbin.

"Both Elder Lin and Elder Meng were top masters in the early days, but he is different from Elder Meng. He doesn't like to be in charge and doesn't have too many aspirations."

"When Elder Lin was young, he rejected the alliance and did not join any forces. He just led a team with his wife to explore the secret realm."

"Although Elder Lin has not joined the Alliance, he has made a lot of contributions to the Alliance. So when he announced that he would not go on expeditions, the Alliance was going to grant him the position of Honorary Elder."

"But he rejected it. Later I heard that he went traveling with his wife. As for when he came to Jinling and became the principal of Jinling Affiliated High School, I am not sure."

"When Master Meng came to Jinling, I didn't follow him at first. It was only later when he found someone who could use me that he called me to Jinling."

"After that, I followed the young lady, so I don't know much about what happened between Elder Meng and Elder Lin."

Lin Manman looked at Xia Ming suspiciously, but he still looked at her with a faint smile.

Based on her experience of getting along with Xia Ming during this period, Xia Ming is a person who rarely talks nonsense. Today she just asked him if he knew about the relationship between Lin Minsheng and Meng Wenbin.

He said so much, and although it cannot be said that it was all nonsense, it always felt like he said nothing.

And wasn't he really secretly belittling Mr. Lin?

Is he telling her that compared to the unambitious Lin Minsheng, Meng Wenbin not only has a strong background, but is also a more goal-oriented and aspiring person, and is more suitable to be her teacher?

Lin Manman nodded hesitantly. It was impossible for her to become Lin Minsheng's disciple anyway, so it didn't matter how much she knew about him.

"Miss... the business of the Spirit Beast Shop has been getting better and better recently. If school is over, you should try to come back early to take a look."

When Lin Manman turned to leave, Xia Ming suddenly spoke to her.

She noticed that the number of individual customers coming to the Spirit Beast Shop had indeed increased recently. In addition to Xia Ming and the other two, Qiu Xiangjing's wife often came to help.

So she nodded to show that she understood.

She turned and went to the basement training room because the honey badger was too big to follow her when she was in school during the day.

Later, seeing that she seldom had the opportunity to practice in the practical classes, she simply kept them at home to train, and only took turns with two of them in the spirit pet space every day.

Today she brought Hongyu and Amber. When she let Hongyu and Amber out and fed them, the treasure-hunting mouse Ruyi came up to her and squeaked.

Since the treasure-hunting rat itself was not very powerful and was an illegal resident, Lin Manman never brought it to school. She just asked it not to be exposed in front of people and left it at home.

The reason I put it at home is because I hope it can have more space to move around. I can't always keep it in the spirit pet space and let it practice silently. How can that be much better than keeping it in a cage before?

"What? You mean, you sensed the treasure that the man asked the treasure hunter to retrieve from the customer who came to buy the spirit beast?"

The information Ruyi told Lin Manman made her frown.

The treasure-hunting rats and treasure hunters should have tracked the Huaishui District based on the information given by that person, which is the area where Lin Manman and the others lived before.

However, the Lingshui District where they are now is quite far away from the area where they lived before. How could this person appear here again?

"At what time period did you sense it?" Lin Manman asked the Treasure Hunting Mouse with a frown. She planned to check the surveillance to see what kind of person it was.

“Squeak, squeak…”

"You said you came more than once?" Lin Manman was shocked.

You came to buy spirit beasts more than once? What's going on?

Ruyi nodded. In fact, it didn't want to have anything to do with the treasure hunter from the past. It was just that this person had come to buy spirit beasts more than once, and it was worried that this person might bring trouble to Lin Manman.

Lin Manman couldn't figure it out, so she simply picked up Ruyi and stuffed it into her pocket. Fortunately, Ruyi was just like Xiaoqi, only upgraded but not grown, so she could easily hide it on her body without being easily noticed.

She brought the treasure-hunting mouse Ruyi all the way back to the lobby of the Spirit Beast Shop. She did not disturb Xia Ming, but chose to ask Qiu Xiangjing about the situation.

"Uncle Qiu, have any customers come to buy spirit beasts again recently?"

Qiu Xiangjing was stunned by her question, frowned and thought carefully, then shook his head. "No, there are one or two returning customers occasionally, but they all bring other people to buy."

As he said this, he opened the purchase record and showed it to Lin Manman, which recorded the information of people who came to the Spirit Beast Shop to make individual purchases during this period.

Lin Manman checked it carefully and found that there was indeed nothing suspicious.

She told Qiu Xiangjing inconspicuously that she just wanted to know about the recent operations of the Spirit Beast Shop and there was nothing else.

Then she took Ruyi back to the third floor, to her room.

He turned on the main computer in the room and checked the surveillance footage of the past few days.

Ruyi stood on her shoulder and pointed out the suspicious person to her. Soon, the man and his pet found the suspicious person.

Lin Manman discovered that this person had appeared in the past week. He would disguise himself every time he came. Sometimes he came alone, and sometimes he came with other people.

This week, this person has bought a total of eight spirit beasts.

This is very suspicious. It is impossible for an ordinary beastmaster to purchase so many spirit beasts in a short period of time, because even if there are new spirit pet slots to contract after a level breakthrough, the number cannot exceed three.

If we buy so many in a short period of time and cannot put them under contract, do we still have to keep them for fun?

Therefore, this person purchased so many spiritual beasts not to use them as contracted spiritual pets.

Thinking back to the foreign organization that Wu Anbang had eradicated before, they were using spirit beasts for experiments. Could it be that this person had any connection with that organization? Aren’t those people who were arrested before all members of this organization?

Lin Manman shook her head. Even if this person bought so many spirit beasts, it didn’t necessarily mean they were used for experimental research. Why did she subconsciously link them together?

And didn’t Wu Anbang clearly state that this organization had been eradicated and all the people on the organization’s list had been arrested?

But if it is not for experimental research, why is it necessary to purchase so many spirit beasts in a short period of time?

Lin Manman really couldn't figure out the reason. After thinking it over, she could only ask Xia Ming for help and ask him to check the man's movements.
