Chapter 1276: Chapter 916: Secret Realm No. 53 (Two in One)

"Xu Gehong" asked, "When do we go in?"

"We’re waiting for one more person; once he arrives, we’ll set off." Qiao Sang replied.

Mikaela feigned ignorance and asked,

"What level of Beast Tamer, and what are they responsible for?"

"F level, 15 years old, named Guo Ruiqi, still a student." Qiao Sang answered succinctly, "The main purpose this time is to help him find the pet beast that was captured."

In the past few days, the Beast Tamer of the Lele Seed has called her several times for more comprehensive information.

Mikaela, maintaining her reserved persona, did not press further.

"Why did you take this task?" Qiao Sang inquired.

Indeed, items from other planets can increase substantially in value, but the other party is a B-level Beastmaster after all, surely they’ve seen plenty of good stuff. Accepting a mission so readily, without asking about the main content or responsibilities, seems a bit too impetuous.

Mikaela replied calmly, "I just happened to need something from the Chao Su Star for the 53rd Secret Realm, so I took it."

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned, eyebrows slightly furrowed, and couldn’t help but ask, "What do you want to do in the 53rd Secret Realm?"

She merely wanted a teammate to do the task together. If this teammate has their own agenda, it might delay the progress of finding the Lele Seed, making her reconsider collaborating.

Not good, maybe I used the wrong excuse... Seeing Qiao Sang’s expression, Mikaela felt a twinge of anxiety, but maintained her cool exterior and said,

"What I do is my personal business. But don’t worry, I will only act during breaks and won’t delay your matters."

That’s good... Qiao Sang smiled, "That’s not what I meant."

No, that’s exactly what you meant... Mikaela thought internally.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Hunter, staying hidden, returned to the Beast Tamer’s side.

No wonder it couldn’t spot any flaws. This wasn’t even the Beast Tamer’s teacher to begin with.

It was obvious; if it were fake, it would surely be detected.

After waiting for a while, the phone buzzed.

Qiao Sang picked it up to look.

Caller ID: 53rd Secret Realm.

She scanned her surroundings and quickly spotted a boy with a backpack, holding a phone to his ear, accompanied by a couple carrying bags.

Clearly a family of three.

Qiao Sang put down the phone and walked over, calling out,

"Guo Ruiqi."

The boy turned his head, momentarily puzzled, then upon seeing Mikaela, tentatively asked,

"Qiao Beast Tamer?"

Mikaela: "..."

Can’t you recognize the voice... Qiao Sang coughed once, "It’s me."

Guo Ruiqi froze on the spot.

Guo’s mom was the first to react, hastily saying,

"You really look too young, that’s why he made a mistake."

Guo’s dad nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, exactly!"

Saying this, he gave his son’s head a light smack.

Young? She looks around my age! Guo Ruiqi internally shouted.

It’s not about looking young; I am young... Qiao Sang internally muttered, without revealing her actual age, and said,

"Now that you’re here, let’s go."

Guo’s mom put down the big bag and handed over a smaller one: "Senior Qiao, this time my son will be in your hands. Inside are some things we prepared for you; your pet beast can munch on them as snacks when bored."

A glimpse showed the exquisite packaging inside the box.

Qiao, senior? Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned, then waved it off, saying,

"No need, no need."

"Please, you must accept it." Guo’s dad implored, "Taking my son into the secret realm alone must be tiring... "

Before he could finish, Qiao Sang interjected,

"I won’t be alone; Beast Master Xu is also going."

Guo’s mom apologized,

"Sorry, I only prepared one."

Guo’s dad said, "When you come back, I’ll make sure Beast Master Xu has one as well!"

Mikaela adhered to her persona, coolly refusing, "I don’t need it."

Guo’s parents didn’t insist, assuming Qiao Sang, who took the mission, was the B-level powerhouse and main leader.

"Then Senior Qiao, you must accept this." Guo’s mom handed the item forward again.

This felt oddly like a patient’s family who had paid for the surgery yet still insisted on gifting something to the doctor for peace of mind... Qiao Sang solemnly stated,

"Since I took this mission, I will carry it out properly and ensure his safety, so I cannot accept this."

With that, she glanced at her phone purposefully, checked the time, and said,

"It’s getting late; we must depart."
