Seeing the suspicious looks on the faces of the Li father and daughter, Lu Yuan felt somewhat embarrassed.
He didn't want to expose the system, so he didn't use the original food packaging bags. Coincidentally, these two burlap sacks were lying nearby, so he just used them.
I never expected such a blunder to happen.
He coughed lightly and began to speak in a serious tone.
"I personally like burlap sacks. Using burlap sacks to pack pet food is a specialty of our store. Uncle Li, you don't need to doubt the quality of the food inside."
Li Dongfan's lips twitched slightly.
This was truly the first time he had ever seen something so "unique".
However, he didn't dwell too much on the packaging. He simply took a grain of food from the sack and placed it in front of the Mist Tiger to let it taste it.
To his surprise...
The Mist Tiger, which usually ignores food, surprisingly came up to us on its own initiative.
Even when he took the food away, he appeared extremely greedy and reluctant to part with it.
This unusual event shocked Li Dongfan, but at the same time calmed him down a little.
It seems that the pet food that Lu Yuan brought was indeed extraordinary.
"Manager Lu, I'll take both bags of food. Let's sign the agreement now!"
Upon hearing this, Li Lu was immediately shocked.
Is Father really going to spend 40 million to buy these two bags of pet food?!
This is no small amount; forty million is all the savings their family currently has!
Lu Yuan grinned and said, "No problem!"
As he spoke.
He instructed Wang Ye to print out the draft contract. After both parties confirmed that there were no errors, they signed and pressed their fingerprints on it.
After completing all of this, Lu Yuan looked at Li Dongfan with a smile.
"Uncle Li, will you be paying by card or bank transfer?"
Li Dongfan took out a bank card and handed it to him, "Just swipe the card."
Lu Yuan smiled and took it, "Okay!"
Lu Yuan was working on his computer when suddenly the shop door opened again.
Welcome!
Just as Wang Ye stepped forward with a smile, he heard the newcomer say something.
Is Manager Lu here?
"I'm here!"
Lu Yuan quickly responded.
Looking up, he saw that the person who came was Liu, Zhao Xiongyu's assistant, followed by a haggard-looking man.
"It's Assistant Liu! Please sit down for a while, and I'll come over after I finish what I'm doing."
Assistant Liu smiled and nodded, "No rush, Manager Lu, please go ahead with your work."
Wang Ye led his assistant Liu and the other man into the store, and they happened to pass by Li Dongfan next to them.
"Mr. Li! I never expected to run into you here, what a coincidence!" Assistant Liu said in surprise.
"I never expected that someone as busy as Assistant Liu would come to the Divine Beast Pavilion."
Li Dongfan narrowed his eyes slightly.
As a close associate of Zhao Xiongyu, he often saw Assistant Liu at various banquets and events, so the two naturally became acquainted.
But he never expected to run into Assistant Liu at the Divine Beast Pavilion.
Could it be that Lu Yuan has some connection with the Zhao family?
"I wonder what brings Assistant Liu to the Divine Beast Pavilion?" Li Dongfan asked tentatively.
"Oh! It's nothing serious," Assistant Liu said with a smile. "I've come to consult Manager Lu about some things related to beast taming."
Li Dongfan nodded and smiled, "Manager Lu is indeed capable; he can definitely help you solve the problem."
"Then I'll take your kind words, Mr. Li!" Assistant Liu smiled slightly, then asked, "May I ask what brings Mr. Li and his daughter here?"
"Oh!" Li Dongfan smiled. "She just awakened her beast-taming talent, so I brought her to see if there were any suitable pet cubs."
"So that's how it is."
The two exchanged a glance, their smiles carrying a deeper meaning.
Even Li Lu, who was completely bewildered, could sense the subtle atmosphere around her.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan arrived in time.
"Uncle Li, here is your bank card. All the formalities are completed. Let me have someone help you load your things into the car."
Lu Yuan handed the bank card back to Li Dongfan, while giving Wang Ye a wink.
Wang Ye immediately understood and quickly picked up the two sacks and walked out.
Li Dongfan glanced at it and knew that Lu Yuan's actions were a polite way of seeing the guest out, so he went along with it and said:
"Thank you very much, Manager Lu. I will visit you again when I have time."
As he was leaving, he saw Lu Yuan lead his assistant Liu and another person into the backyard, his brows furrowed.
After Wang Ye loaded the two sacks of food onto the car, Li Dongfan and Li Lu drove away.
In the car, Li Lu finally couldn't help but ask:
"Dad, why did you hide the real reason for going to the Divine Beast Pavilion?"
Li Dongfan retorted, "Do you know who that person I was talking to is?"
Li Lu frowned slightly and shook her head.
Li Dongfan replied, "That's a confidant of the Zhao family patriarch. Many matters, big and small, in the Zhao family pass through his hands. And for someone like that to go to the Divine Beast Pavilion, do you know what that means?"
"Of course it means that Manager Lu is really amazing!"
Li Lu's face was filled with a proud and honorable expression.
Li Dongfan shook his head, "This shows that Lu Yuan's relationship with the Zhao family is unusual; there must be some connection between them."
Seeing that Li Lu still looked confused, he said earnestly, "Lulu, you must be careful. If you can't befriend Lu Yuan, then stay away from him. In short, you must not become enemies with him."
Upon hearing this, Li Lu pouted.
"I have a great relationship with Manager Lu, Dad, don't worry!"
...
at the same time.
Inside the Divine Beast Pavilion.
Lu Yuan left the shop to Wang Ye and, along with his assistant Liu and the man following behind him, went to the backyard.
"You can release the beast now."
The man hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Assistant Liu.
After seeing Assistant Liu nod, he then summoned his tamed beast.
A gentle breeze suddenly arose, and the man's steed appeared before him.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Is this really your tamed beast?"
The man nodded and replied in a hoarse voice, "It's a fire leopard named Flameburst."
Lu Yuan looked at the Flame Leopard lying on the ground, his brows furrowed.
This beast was very different from what he had imagined.
When a normal beast is released from its taming space, its first reaction should be to observe its surroundings with vigilance or curiosity.
The Flame Leopard, however, showed virtually no reaction.
It's not because I'm not interested, but because I don't have the energy.
Even Lu Yuan could sense a strong sense of decay emanating from it, as if its life was nearing its end.
Zhao Xiong Yu actually sent over such a beast for bloodline fusion, as if he already knew that the bloodline fusion would fail and deliberately sent a defective product.
Lu Yuan turned to look at Assistant Liu, his questioning gaze quite evident.
Assistant Liu's expression remained unchanged. He pointed to the man behind him and explained with a smile:
"This man is named Wu Shi. He once fought alongside General Zhao in battles across the land, achieving great victories. However, he was later betrayed by a villain, which resulted in the Fire Leopard being injured. The cause of the injury has yet to be determined."
"The old injury has not yet healed, and Huo Yanbao's condition is deteriorating every day. This matter has always been a thorn in Mr. Zhao's side, so after hearing Manager Lu's description that day, he specifically instructed me to bring Wu Shi to see you."
"If possible, please help it achieve bloodline fusion first."
"After we succeed, we can discuss further cooperation."
