After Grandpa and Long Teng spoke at the same time, they looked at each other: "Grandpa/Xiao Teng, do you know him too?"
Xie Sen looked at the two people's identical movements and thought to himself that it was no wonder they looked so similar, they were actually grandparents and grandchildren. Thinking about the scenes of his previous dealings with the two people, he secretly thought that their clingy skills were also passed down from generation to generation.
"He is the neighbor I was talking about." said the old man.
Long Teng's eyes lit up instantly. He jumped in front of Xie Sen, put his arm around his shoulders, and said expectantly, "The spicy meat jerky is super delicious. Do you have more? I want to eat more!"
Xie Sen looked at the old man, who spread his hands and said, "I didn't tell anyone else. This guy found me while I was eating." He snorted, "He ate most of it!"
Xie Sen took Long Teng's hand away: "No more."
Long Teng's smiling face faltered, and he looked disappointed. A second later, he suddenly smiled again, his teeth shining brightly: "Tell me where to buy it. I'll keep an eye on it every day, and I'm sure I can buy it!"
The old man nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, tell us where you bought it. This kid is very quick, he will definitely be able to grab the goods. If he does, I'll give you some."
Xie Sen looked at them in embarrassment, this was not bought by him at all!
He said vaguely, "Just search for spicy meat jerky on the Internet."
"No," the old man said immediately, "I have searched the Internet many times, and I also bought a lot of spicy food. The spiciness is completely different from the spicy meat jerky. It's super unpalatable!"
Xie Sen seemed to be thinking: "Maybe the online store was cancelled because it was out of stock."
It is impossible to cancel the account without leaving any trace. The old man looked at Xie Sen, a flash of thought in his eyes.
I originally thought that Xie Sen bought the spicy meat jerky online, but he didn't tell him the seller's details because he was worried that he would snatch the goods. Now it seems that his guess might be wrong.
"What a pity." Long Teng pouted. He had no other thoughts. He simply believed the reasons given by Xie Sen.
Xie Sen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go home first!" He said and walked towards the apartment.
“Hey,” Long Teng followed him in two steps, putting his hand on his shoulder, “Did your contracted beast rest well? You promised to fight me!”
Xie Sen was helpless. Why was this guy still thinking about this matter?
The old man slapped Long Teng on the forehead and said, "I don't care if you like to fight, but you must not fight with females. Don't you want to find a wife?"
Long Teng covered his forehead and pouted: "But his contracted beast is very powerful, I want to fight."
Xie Sen frowned and said in a serious tone, "I am a male!" He opened his bracelet and pointed at the contracted beast pen, "See? It's a male!"
The last time I went to the Contracted Beast Research Institute, after confirming that he was a male, his personal information column was no longer blank.
The old man looked at him in surprise, and Long Teng jumped up happily: "Grandpa, can I fight him now?" He shook Xie Sen's shoulder, "Fight with me!"
Xie Sen slapped his hand away: "You're about to shake me apart," he pointed at himself helplessly, "Do you think I can be your opponent?"
"It's okay. I'll be one on one with your contracted beast."
"What is your contracted beast?" the old man asked curiously.
Before Xie Sen opened his mouth, Long Teng had already answered for him quickly: "It's a mimic beast, very powerful. It disguised itself as a chili tree before and defeated the wolf-dog beast with one move!"
The old man looked at Xie Sen and asked, "The chili tree?" He paused and asked, "Is the spicy taste of the spicy meat jerky the same as the spicy chili pepper?"
Xie Sen laughed and said, "I don't know either. I've never tasted chili peppers, so I can't compare them."
"Really?" The old man smiled with his eyes narrowed.
People with squinty eyes are monsters!
Xie Sen smiled dryly and nodded. Long Teng didn't notice anything strange between the two and continued to pester Xie Sen to fight with him. When Xie Sen walked to the door of the apartment, he wanted to lie on top of Xie Sen.
This was the scene Maine saw when he came back. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were frozen. He reached out and twisted Long Teng's collar to pull him off Xie Sen.
Long Teng almost instinctively backhanded and hit behind him, but Maine stepped back and easily dodged it. Long Teng turned his head and saw Maine, his eyes lit up: "It's you!"
Maine loosened his collar: "What are you doing here?"
Long Teng pointed at Xie Sen cheerfully and said, "Let's fight him."
Maine frowned: "You want to bully him?"
“No, didn’t you see it that day? His contracted beast is very powerful! I fight with his contracted beast, not him.” Long Teng jumped on the spot and retorted.
"That won't work either." Maine had some guesses about Xie Sen's contracted beast and knew that the less his contracted beast appeared in front of people, the better. "If you want to fight, I will fight you."
"Really?" Long Teng's voice suddenly rose, and he became excited, but he was still a little confused, "Didn't you not want to fight me before?"
Maine said, "I will fight you, and you are not allowed to fight him again."
Long Teng blinked and struggled with his fingers, "Can't we just hit them all?"
"No." Maine refused flatly.
Long Teng looked at Maine and then at Xie Sen, then jumped to the empty space next to him and waved his arms: "Okay, let's fight first. If he wants to fight me later, it won't be considered as a violation on my part."
Maine nodded indifferently. In his opinion, Xie Sen would never pick a fight with Long Teng.
"Wait." Seeing the two men preparing to fight, the old man stopped them. Long Teng jumped on the spot in dissatisfaction and shouted "Grandpa".
The old man glared at him and said, "Don't you smell blood on him? If he had injuries, you wouldn't be happy even if you won."
Long Teng shrugged his nose and asked Maine, "Are you injured?"
"No." Maine said.
The old man approached Maine, sniffed it, and looked at him in surprise: "The blood of the hairy wild boar beast, you left the city?"
"Grandpa, you must be mistaken. He is in the same grade as me. The league will be held in a week, and we don't have permission to leave the city yet."
Maine frowned and said, "No, you smelled it wrong."
The old man raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and then smiled: "Maybe I smelled it wrong!"
When Xie Sen heard this, his heart moved. If the blood in Maine's body these days was from leaving the city, then it made sense.
But how did he leave the city? According to regulations, citizens without a permit were prohibited from leaving the city.
Could it be that by illegal he meant only leaving the city illegally?
But... Xie Sen couldn't help but worry. If he left the city, the possibility of coming into contact with strange beasts would be even greater!
"You are not injured, so let's fight!" Long Teng urged.
Maine nodded without saying anything, and rushed towards Long Teng like a phantom, kicking sideways cleanly. He was extremely fast, and each of his moves was extremely sharp.
Long Teng was extremely excited. He dodged the attacks and made moves at the same time, and kept yelling, "Awesome! Watch me!"
The two of them fought back and forth, and the exchange of moves was very exciting. For a while, neither could do anything to the other.
"What is his contracted beast?" Xie Sen was watching intently when he heard the old man's question.
"Giant lion beast." Xie Sen said.
As Xie Sen answered, he was very confused. Long Teng's description was exactly the same as in the book, but Maine's was wrong. In the book, Maine's contracted beast was Feishimon, which was also S-level.
If he was just an A-rank contracted beast master, he wouldn't be the protagonist's strongest opponent.
"An A-level contract beast master?" The old man said in an admiring tone, "He is very powerful. Even if an S-level contract beast master fights Xiao Teng, he may not perform so well."
Xie Sen smiled as if he was being praised, and nodded heavily: "Yeah, he's very good."
"You are also amazing," the old man changed the subject, "I have seen the owner of a mimic beast, but I have never seen a mimic beast that imitates plants. I am really curious."
He looked at Xie Sen with a smile: "Can you satisfy my curiosity?"
Xie Sen hesitated for a moment, thinking that the more he tried to hide it, the more suspicious people would be, so he nodded: "Okay."
He summoned the chili tree and commanded it to do some animal-like movements in his mind. After observing carefully, the old man smiled and said, "It really broadens my horizons."
Xie Sen took back the pepper tree, and the old man suddenly asked: "Have you heard of the plant contract beast master?"
Xie Sen was shocked and shook his head: "No."
The old man looked at his expression and said with a smile: "You young people nowadays are too hard to learn. In fact, contracted beasts are not just animals, they can also be plants."
Xie Sen showed a surprised look: "Really? How amazing!"
The old man nodded and suddenly changed the subject: "The spicy meat jerky is really delicious. I don't know when I can buy it again. You said the store owner suddenly disappeared. Is it because he was worried that he would be targeted because he used chili peppers?"
Xie Sen blinked his eyes. He was definitely not wrong. The old man must be hinting at something! Including the previous plant contract beast owner.
The old man smiled and continued without waiting for his answer: "Actually, this is not a big deal. If you really don't want people to know, why not cooperate with the Botanical Research Institute? If there are new plants to research, Dean Ma will definitely be willing to keep it secret. If we tell others that the peppers were researched by the institute, no one will doubt it."
Xie Sen's heart was slightly moved, and he said vaguely: "Spicy meat jerky is not necessarily made of chili peppers."
The old man smiled and nodded: "You are right." He looked at the two people fighting, "Who do you think will win?"
Xie Sen glanced at the old man and secretly called him an old fox. He knew in his heart that the old man had probably guessed his identity.
“It might be a tie.”
"No, Xiao Teng will win," the old man said with a smile, "Your friend doesn't have enough physical strength. When he comes back, his physical strength will not be as good as Xiao Teng's."
Just as the old man said, twenty minutes later, Maine lost to Long Teng by one move. Long Teng happily tried to put his arm around Maine's shoulders, but Maine pushed him away. Long Teng didn't care and followed him to the apartment.
He smiled brightly and patted Maine on the shoulder: "How refreshing! You are very good. My victory today doesn't count. You just lost due to physical strength. Let's fight again tomorrow!"
"No." Maine refused without thinking.
Long Teng was about to say something, but the old man slapped him on the back of his head: "Who is as idle as you and only has time to fight?"
Maine opened the door and walked into the apartment, followed by Xie Sen, and then by Daye and Long Teng.
"Anything else?" Maine asked, tilting his head.
The old man smiled and said, "I've only moved here a week. My name is Xu Da. You can just call me old man. I'm this kid's grandfather." He pointed at Long Teng and said, "You two are classmates, right?"
"Yes, they are all!" Long Teng said quickly, "Grandpa, do you have something to do with them?"
"It's all for you!" The old man glared at him and looked at Maine, "Take this kid with you when you participate in the league. You've seen that he's very capable and won't be a drag."
"I can do it alone, there's no need to form a team," Long Teng patted his chest with super confidence and pointed at Maine, "I want to be his opponent, so I can fight him!"
The old man slapped him in the face and said, "You're a directionally challenged person, so stop talking. You don't want a teammate. Do you want to live out your next life on an island?"
