In just a few words, the two of them agreed on a time.

Neither Qiao Bai nor Professor Ge has procrastination problem.

No matter what happens, the faster the better.

Now that you have decided to go.

The two of them set the date for tomorrow morning.

Professor Ge put away his phone contentedly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the message on his phone that was sent to him by the beastmaster guarding the forbidden land in Wanyuan City, Professor Ge smiled with relief.

“Huahua…”

Professor Ge looked at the photos on the table in front of him.

His wife, him, and three noisy flowers.

That is a time that has passed and will never come back.

But the pet left by his wife can still accompany him, which is enough to make him feel comforted.

…

The other side.

Qiao Bai quickly discussed it with Professor Ge.

He looked at Li Gan who was still on the phone with him.

"You seem so busy." Seeing Qiao Bai finally look up, the quiet Li Gan dared to speak.

"You looked so serious just now that I almost couldn't breathe!"

Qiao Bai smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated."

Then Qiao Bai said.

"I'm going to the forbidden area of ​​Wanyuan City. Do you want to come with me?"

"Why?!"

Li Gan showed an expression of surprise and shock, as if he didn't expect Qiao Bai to say that.

"just."

"It's just a coincidence."

"It's not too busy. If you want to come along, you can."

Qiao Bai pressed the button three times in a row, briefly explaining the situation.

"…That's probably what happened. I went over to check on the Nightmare Flower that left and came back. I also wanted to see how it's doing and whether it can control itself."

"After all, they are extraordinary creatures without any contract restraints, so we still need to be a little more vigilant in this regard."

What Qiao Bai didn't say was.

Fortunately, such a case occurred in Wanyuan City.

If it were a special and sensitive place like Xingcheng or Heng City...

kindness.

It’s better not to say anything.

"Hey..." Hearing Qiao Bai say this, Li Gan was obviously moved.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, looking like he was thinking: "Go!"

After thinking for less than three seconds, Li Gan made a decisive decision.

Anyway, he wanted to invite Qiao Bai to join him.

At first, Qiao Bai wasn't interested, so he didn't say anything.

But now Qiao Bai obviously looked very interested! He even invited him in return.

You must agree! It would be too hypocritical not to agree!

Li Gan is not that kind of person.

"Then buy a ticket and ask for leave. It's hard to say how long it will take. After all, you want to contract a suitable pet."

Listening to Qiao Bai's words, Li Gan nodded repeatedly.

No problem, no problem.

receive!

…

Qiao Bai bought a ticket for the earliest flight in the morning, and arrived in Wanyuan City just in time.

As soon as it landed.

He saw Professor Ge and Li Gan were already waiting for him.

Qiao Bai: “?”

"How did you two get together?"

Qiao Bai looked at Professor Ge Zongyan and Li Gan with some surprise.

That's not what he said.

These two people really don't seem to be from the same level.

Besides, excluding Qiao Bai, these two people don’t even know each other!

As time was tight yesterday, Qiao Bai did not give the two of them extra time to pull the wires on the front axle in private.

I had originally planned to let them get to know each other today.

so……

"Hehehe!" Li Gan walked to Qiao Bai's side in two or three steps with a carefree smile on his face.

"Isn't this a coincidence!"

Li Gan winked at Qiao Bai and said, "Knowing that you are on the earliest flight this morning, I came here early to wait for you!"

"I didn't expect Professor Ge to come up when he saw your name!"

"It only took a few seconds for us to get to know each other!"

Qiao Bai: “…”

Qiao Bai didn’t want to think about the circumstances under which Professor Ge saw his name and took the initiative to “recognize” Li Gan as his relative.

Qiao Bai decided to skip this topic.

"It's good that you two have met in advance." Qiao Bai said with a smile: "Then today we three will be together."

Qiao Bai smiled and said hello to Professor Ge next to him: "Professor Ge, it's been a long time."

"you do not say."

Professor Ge also smiled and looked at Qiao Bai and said.

Different from Qiao Bai's simple emotion, Professor Ge Zongyan looked at Qiao Bai with a more complicated look.

How should I put it…

Obviously, when the two met more than a year ago, he was just an ordinary pet professor.

Qiao Bai is also a very ordinary person, at most he can be said to be a rising star with some fame.

Otherwise, Professor Ge would never be able to make an appointment with Qiao Bai.

Unexpectedly.

How long has it been?

When I met Qiao Bai...the simple four words "things have changed but people have changed" are not enough to describe the changes that have taken place in Qiao Bai.

All I can say is shocking.

legend.

A living legend.

However, Professor Ge did not have too much hesitation, envy, jealousy or hatred about this.

All I can say is... as early as the Huahua incident, Professor Ge realized how powerful Qiao Bai was, and he also knew that sooner or later Qiao Bai would shine and become a star and a beacon in the field of pet evolution research.

The only thing I didn't expect was.

This arrived so quickly.

It was so fast that most people couldn’t react at all.

Professor Ge, who had some contact and understanding with Qiao Bai, could be said to be mentally prepared for this.

"Let's have breakfast first, then we'll go to the forbidden area?" Professor Ge was very eager to see Huahua.

But Professor Ge knows better.

In the meantime, we must first show good hospitality.

It was already a great favor that Professor Qiao Bai accepted his invitation and came again.

He can't not understand this.

Qiao Bai nodded.

"OK."

"Quick victory."

Focus on one thing without delay!

The breakfast in Wanyuan City tastes good.

Both Qiao Bai and Li Gan were very satisfied with the meal. Professor Ge also suppressed his excitement and ate slowly.

Professor Ge's excitement was slightly relieved when he got on the car to the forbidden land.

He turned and gave Qiao Bai an embarrassed smile.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Professor Qiao Bai." Ge Zongyan touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly.

His eyes looked at the passing scenery outside the window.

"Actually...how should I put it?"

The closer they got to the forbidden land, the more complicated Professor Ge's mood became.

"I've waited for more than a year. During the time when Huahua was away, I didn't say I missed her that much."

"Just do what's right every day. After all, there are two Serenities at home who need my care."

Huahu Lake is very important.

But this does not mean that the other two quiet flowers left by his wife are not important.

But……

"But after learning the news that Huahua had returned, I suddenly couldn't wait any longer. I wished I could run to Huahua the next second!"

Ge Zongyan sighed deeply.

Qiao Bai patted Ge Zongyan's shoulder comfortingly: "It's nothing, it's just human nature."

"Huahua is outside, you can only worry about it from afar. No matter how much you worry, it's all imaginary, not real."

"When Huahua comes back, she is really there, and the feeling she brings to people is different."

"I can only say that Professor Ge is a man of temperament."

Listening to Qiao Bai's consolation, Professor Ge showed a somewhat relieved smile on his face: "...Thank you, I am indeed much calmer now."

"I am now..."

Professor Ge looked out the window, and his gaze seemed to have flown across a long road and distance, and he saw Huahua right at hand.

When the car finally stopped in front of the city wall of the forbidden area of ​​Wanyuan City, Professor Ge couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out of the car.

How fast.

Li Gan, who was still sitting in the passenger seat, didn't even react.

After silently watching Professor Ge rush out, Li Gan turned around and looked at Qiao Bai in shock.

"no……?"

"Is Professor Ge really that old?"

"Why do I feel like this guy's skills are even more skillful than mine?"

Li Gan said loudly.

Qiao Bai chuckled.

“Isn’t this a very normal thing?”

Li Gan: “???”

no?

Is this true or false?

He will doubt his life!

Qiao Bai smiled, did not explain to Li Gan, patted his clothes and walked away.

kindness.

Let Li Gan figure it out slowly.

Although Professor Ge rushed out first.

But in fact, I still couldn't see the nightmare flower right away.

after all……

They are still inside the city wall.

As a supernatural creature without a beastmaster contract, the Nightmare Flower has no way to enter the city on its own.

Professor Ge must first meet the Level 5 Beast Tamer stationed in the forbidden land of Wanyuan City.

"Professor Ge, you are here."

A beastmaster who looked about the same age as Professor Ge smiled familiarly when he saw Professor Ge.

Obviously.

These two people know each other.

"Old Wang." Professor Ge also nodded to him, then turned to look at Qiao Bai and Li Gan behind him and took the initiative to introduce them.

"This is Professor Qiao Bai and his friend, Li Gan."

"This is Wang Ming, the official fifth-level beastmaster stationed in the forbidden land of Wanyuan City."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming looked at Qiao Bai in surprise: "So you are Professor Qiao Bai?"

"I have heard a lot about you, I have heard a lot about you!"

As he spoke, Wang Ming stretched out his hand towards Qiao Bai and looked at him with admiration, his eyes filled with unspeakable excitement and eagerness.

Li Gan, who was standing by, saw this and had a bit of confusion in his eyes.

no?

Admiration is understandable.

Why is there still excitement and eagerness?

Li Gan touched the back of his head, thought about it and still didn't ask.

Let's take another look.

Maybe you can see it? Qiao Bai smiled and shook hands with Wang Ming.

"That nightmare flower..." Qiao Bai has not forgotten the purpose of his visit today.

Noisy flowers.

Nightmare flower!

Seeing this, Wang Ming immediately brought the subject back to the main topic.

"Yes, Nightmare Flower." Wang Ming nodded and led Qiao Bai and others into the lounge nearby.

Through the large window on the side, you can clearly see the situation outside, which will not affect the observation of the situation in the forbidden land at all.

While pouring tea for Qiao Bai and the others, Wang Ming talked about what happened a few days ago.

“I was really shocked at that time!”

"A supernatural creature with the strength of level eight approaching level nine suddenly appeared outside our forbidden land. Who wouldn't be nervous?"

That was a supernatural creature that came out of the forbidden land and had a strength of level eight close to level nine.

That strength is not something that an ordinary ninth-level pet can easily deal with.

We really need to fight.

It’s not that these level 5 beastmasters can’t defeat them, but they are definitely not much better.

It will cost you a lot.

Just when everyone was extremely nervous, Wang Ming looked at the extraordinary creature that looked strange and had never been seen before.

I don’t know what happened.

Suddenly I felt a little more familiar.

It was as if... I had seen it somewhere before? Wang Ming trusted his intuition.

He probably wasn't overthinking it.

He really had seen it.

However, after searching the Extraordinary Creatures Encyclopedia, he found that there was no record of this kind of extraordinary creature. So where did he see it? Wang Ming's memory was not very good.

Fortunately, when he tried to recall it, Wang Ming still found a clue from his memory.

Yes.

Seen it.

Professor Ge, Ge Zongyan, had a good but not bad relationship with him. He was a professor of pet evolution research and had some contacts with him. He had once shown him this extraordinary creature.

I also had a brief chat with him.

A brand new evolutionary form of your own pet.

Unfortunately, because the circumstances and cases are very special, there is no way to replicate them.

Wang Ming recalled this and doubts reappeared in his eyes.

no?

According to Professor Ge, what is this... Nightmare Flower?

I think it’s called this?

It should be an exclusive one! Why did one appear outside the forbidden land? Anyway, with the idea of ​​trying it out and finding out the weakness of the Nightmare Flower from Professor Ge, Wang Ming took the initiative to contact Professor Ge.

Then……

"I didn't expect this to be the nightmare flower you told me about before!"

"This is really... a blessing in disguise!"

Wang Ming nodded as he spoke.

Fortunately.

This is lucky!

If possible, they don't want to conflict with those supernatural creatures and cause unnecessary sacrifices and injuries.

You can live a good life, why make things difficult for yourself?

It’s not necessary! It’s really not necessary!!! Professor Ge listened with a fluctuating expression on his face.

After Wang Ming finished speaking, Professor Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay." Professor Ge patted his chest and said, "It's okay that you contacted me!"

If there is no contact.

Professor Ge couldn't even imagine what would happen! !

This is really too...

"Huahua's situation was special at the time, and I had no intention of publicizing it." Ge Zongyan said with a sigh.

It was just a coincidence that I talked about this with Wang Ming at the beginning.

Because Qiao Bai happened to be somewhat famous at that time.

Wang Ming knew that Professor Ge and Qiao Bai had some contact, so he came here to find out.

As he was talking, Professor Ge briefly talked about the nightmare flower.

After saying this, Professor Ge felt a little regretful.

Unexpectedly...

Professor Ge really couldn't imagine it.
