211: Goodbye Xu Yue, the rights of a silver member!
“Xu Yue? You mean, that girl from the Beastmaster Association?”
The Beast Taming Association President said.
Xu Yue was only in her twenties.
In front of the Beast Taming Association President, she was naturally still a young girl.
“Xu Yue......”
Hearing Fang Ran’s question, everyone secretly noted down the name.
“I’ll ask her for you.” The Beast Taming Association President picked up the phone.
He dialed casually.
A moment later, the call connected.
“Where’s Xu Yue?”
From the other end of the phone came a flustered voice.
It seemed he hadn’t expected the Beast Taming Association President to call personally.
“East District? I remember, wasn’t that handled by others?”
“Something urgent? What could be more important than the safety of Yu City’s citizens! You, now, immediately, go find that person and bring her back!”
His face was stern, and his tone was extremely severe.
“Listen, if I don’t get a satisfactory reason, tell them to scram tomorrow!”
“This...”
The person who answered the phone looked embarrassed.
Those few people had just gone out to drink and get foot massages.
How could there be a satisfactory reason?
For more than half a year, they had pushed things onto Xu Yue several times, causing her to get injured multiple times.
“Sigh, never mind, I can’t be bothered with them anymore.”
If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
Moreover, they truly acted improperly, so it was only a matter of time before something went wrong.
The Beast Taming Association President hung up the call and looked at Fang Ran, saying, “She’s gone to the East District to deal with fierce beasts.”
His tone of voice was completely different from before.
Seeing his responsible demeanor, Fang Ran’s respect for him grew a few more points.
It was precisely because of people like him, guarding Yu City, that it became one of the safest cities.
“I understand. I have nothing else to do, so I’ll go deal with those fierce beasts.”
Fang Ran bid farewell to a few people.
Then he came to a tall building.
“Xiao Nian.”
The Slime covered his body.
Fang Ran leaped from the tall building and headed towards the East District.
After only a dozen minutes, he arrived at the outer city.
“Roar!”
The roar of a fierce beast echoed through the mountains.
Xu Yue was riding on the Azure Moon Wolf, pursuing the fierce beast.
However.
As soon as she chased into the depths of the forest,
Two Lord-level fierce beasts simultaneously darted out!
“Two!” Her heart jolted.
The Azure Moon Wolf beneath her also showed a slight panic.
And at this very moment, two sharp tentacles shot out from behind her!
“Pfft!”
The two Lord-level fierce beasts were pierced through the heart and died on the spot!
Xu Yue abruptly turned her head, and when she saw that familiar face, the terror in her heart finally dissipated.
“Fang Ran! You scared me to death.”
“Haha, Teacher Xu Yue, long time no see.”
“Didn’t I tell you, you can just call me Xu Yue.” She chuckled lightly.
She seemed very surprised by Fang Ran’s arrival.
“Is this your second Beast Tamer? And it’s already Transcendent Grade?”
She said, looking curiously at the wriggling ‘armor’ on Fang Ran’s body.
“Yes, Xiao Nian, come say hello to Xu Yue.”
As Fang Ran spoke, Xiao Nian jumped off him, looking at her with a slight wariness.
Then, it extended its hand and shook hands with Xu Yue.
“Such a peculiar creature, like a little girl.” Xu Yue said in surprise.
Xiao Nian’s appearance was almost identical to a human’s, except its entire body was composed of mucus.
And it occasionally dripped onto the ground, just like a constantly reassembling and melting wax figure.
“Let’s go back and report first, we can chat later.”
A moment later.
The two returned to the Beastmaster Association.
“Xu Yue, who is this?” One person stood up and asked.
“This is my student, Fang Ran.”
“He’s Fang Ran?!”
A few people scrutinized Fang Ran’s face.
“Is this the Yu City Security Department?”
“Yes, the Yu City Security Department consists of official personnel, but there is no rank division.” Xu Yue explained.
Only upon reaching Iron-Rank could one be considered part of the Beastmaster Association’s high-level.
“Hmm, you few, I was sent by the Imperial Capital Beastmaster Association to oversee the operations of the Yu City Beastmaster Association. This is my identification badge.”
Fang Ran stepped forward and took out a Silver Grade badge.
The moment they saw it, the few people were greatly astonished.
They had long heard that the Beastmaster Association had a new leader, whose status was second only to the Beast Taming Association President.
But that person was a Silver-Rank Member, and they had never thought it would be Fang Ran.
“Senior Fang! Do you have any instructions?”
The Head of Security was called forward and asked.
“How about this, from now on, let Xu Yue be responsible for Yu City’s security defense, what do you think?” Fang Ran asked.
“The person in charge of the East City left their post without authorization, you wouldn’t be unaware of that, would you?”
Hearing Fang Ran’s words,
Cold sweat beaded on the Head of Security’s forehead.
“This... alright, but this matter still needs to be decided by the Beast Taming Association President.”
Having been caught with a handle, he had no choice but to yield.
“No need, I just asked, I’m in charge here.”
At this moment, Xu Yue,
Standing aside, her face was still in a daze.
She had completely not expected that her former student had grown to such an extent at this very moment!
“Fang Ran, there’s no need to do this for me. I didn’t become a Beast Tamer to hide behind others!”
Xu Yue frowned.
Her tone even carried a hint of admonishment.
“Teacher Xu Yue, I’m not doing this simply for you, but for the safety of Yu City.”
“This time it’s because you were here. What if you weren’t? Since the Beastmaster Association sent me to be in charge of Yu City’s safety, I naturally need to find someone I can trust.”
His words were naturally not an excuse, but truly what he thought.
After all, it was the city where he grew up. How many families like his were there? Fang Ran had experienced the Remnant Domain beast tide and seen countless desperate young Beast Tamer, and he didn’t want them to be harassed by fierce beasts.
Fang Ran’s words made Xu Yue fall into deep thought.
Especially the last sentence, which warmed her heart.
A moment later, she nodded solemnly, “Alright, I’ll do my best.”
As night fell.
At Xu Yue’s home.
“Fang Ran, do you know who your opponents are in this National Beast Taming Competition?”
“I actually haven’t looked into that.”
Hearing Fang Ran’s words, Xu Yue sighed inwardly, then said, “I’ve already investigated for you in advance. The Five Great Academies’ Soldier Beasts and Sacred Beast Academy are all competing in Yu City.”
“Among them, there are many Beast Tamer with dual Transcendent Grade beasts, and quite a few of them.”
“Among other first-tier academies, there are also exceptionally strong Beast Tamer, no weaker than those from the Five Great Academies.”
“The number of participants and Beast Tamer coming to Yu City for this competition has reached at least nearly five hundred people, from over a hundred academies in total!”
This number still slightly surprised Fang Ran.
“Thank you.”
“No need, it’s just a small favor.” Xu Yue said.
“Moreover, the National Competition will be broadcast nationwide, and as for the content of the competition... it’s almost different every session.”
“However, since a city like Yu City, which is close to the wild, was chosen, it’s highly likely there will be a screening, and victory will be decided based on the academies’ points.”
“Hmm.” Fang Ran nodded.
He felt a slight sense of urgency in his heart.
Only by improving Xiao Tian’s skill level could he guarantee a good ranking!
After all, the competition tested the team ability of five people; it would be very difficult to get into the top three relying on just one person.
