Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 238 Arrival

The whole group went quiet when someone muttered that sentence.

Some of the members of the student association looked at one another. They didn’t know what to say.

The relationship between the people from the student association and Gao Peng was a complex one.

When the incident with Qian Zhengming had occurred, many of the student association members had been unhappy with Gao Peng. Qian Zhengming was one of them, after all. Even though Qian Zhengming had been a little bossy, he was very generous with the members of the student association. He wouldn’t hesitate to spend money on them.

If any other person had dared to bully anyone from the student association, they would definitely have met consequences.

However, when some of Qian Zhengming’s fair-weather friends wanted to retaliate on his behalf, Qian Zhengming had stopped them. At the same time, information about Gao Peng’s family background had started to spread.

From the Southern Sky Group family.

They were all students from Yuzhou University. It was impossible for them not to know about the Southern Sky Group. Even the everyday items they bought came from the Southern Sky Group.

At that moment, it seemed as if everyone had something stuck in their throat.

When it came to family backgrounds, no one in Yuzhou City would be able to match Gao Peng. The only people who would be comparable to Gao Peng were the son of the highest-ranking military officer in the base city of Yuzhou or the son of the city’s mayor.

The incident just slowly faded away. No one brought it up again.

After that, the incident with Li Yujia, a school senior that had already graduated, had occurred. Gao Peng had helped a lot during that incident. The members of the student association who were there with Gao Peng during that incident came out of it with a positive impression of him. Gao Peng didn’t seem as arrogant and despicable as the rumors had made him out to be.

The members of the student association could be separated into two groups when it came to Gao Peng. Some of them didn’t like him, while another group of people wanted to make Gao Peng like them so that they would have an easier time getting a job at the Southern Sky Group.

Qian Zhengming was also part of the group at the airport. He wore an unreadable expression when he saw Gao Peng. His father had rushed to Yuzhou City from their hometown and brought him along to the Southern Sky Group headquarters so that they could apologize to Gao Peng. In the end, Gao Peng hadn’t even appeared. Only a messenger had appeared to convey a message from Chairman Ji Hanwu. The message was that it was only a small matter between children and that the Qian family shouldn’t worry.

Through this incident, Qian Zhengming had matured quite a bit. His prickly personality had smoothened considerably.

Qian Zhengming stopped looking at Gao Peng, then looked at his own familiars in silence.

One was a large turtle with sharp and angular edges that was as large as a tabletop. Its exposed feet were covered with scales, and there were a few sharp thorns on the edge of its shell.

“Oh, it’s a pity. If Gao Peng also joined the World Youth Trainer Championships, we would have had three contestants from Yuzhou University,” sighed a bespectacled boy with silver hair.

“I know there are three candidates from Imperial University. They’re so proud of them, always claiming that they’ll win the gold, silver, and bronze on the university forums,” said a slightly chubby guy in a red t-shirt. He threw a few potato chips into his mouth.

Gao Peng was just a small matter to them. After discussing him for a while, their topic slowly started to change. Their topic of discussion turned into who had the best chance of winning the competition, and what kind of familiars would appear from different countries.

Gao Peng, who was sitting on the other side, also saw them. Jun Moyi was part of their group. Gao Peng gave her a nod in greeting.

After a while, one of the airport staff came in and looked at Gao Peng. He bowed down and said softly to Gao Peng, “Hello, Mr. Gao, your private jet is ready for takeoff. Are you ready to go now?”

Gao Peng nodded. “Let’s go.”

Gao Peng thought for a while, then walked over to Jun Moyi. They shared the same hometown, after all.

“Young sister Jun… Jun Moyi, my flight is about to take off. There are still a lot of seats on the flight. Do you want to fly with me? Waiting in the airport is a waste of time anyway.”

A private plane… is he that rich?

The group of people were left speechless. Someone suddenly thought of the popular saying, “Do you think rich people are happy? Yes, their happiness is beyond your imagination.”

In the end, she rejected Gao Peng’s offer, since she had already bought her ticket.

…

The plane started to land after six hours in the air.

When he arrived, there were people at the airport waiting for him. Ten trucks were parked outside the airport, forming a convoy. Passersby were shocked when they saw this. These were all Dongfeng Trucks! Which rich family did they belong to?

Using ten trucks to pick up someone at the airport! What a terrifyingly rich person they had to be.

Gao Peng sighed. He had already said that he didn’t want to cause a scene. A normal car would have been fine, but ten luxury trucks had come instead. It was too high profile.

The front door of the truck at the front of the convoy opened. Out came a middle-aged man dressed meticulously in a western suit with a white glove on his left hand. He walked towards Gao Peng and gave a bow. “Young Master Gao, please get in the car.”

Gao Peng nodded and gracefully walked into the backseat of the truck. The rear was extremely spacious. There was a small refrigerator next to the seat and an LCD TV in the front. There was even a game controller.

They arrived at their destination after half an hour. It was a mountain villa that wasn’t too far from the airport.

Right after Gao Peng got out of the truck, a white-haired old man walked towards him with a smile on his face. There were quite a few people following this old man.

“Haha. You’re old Ji’s grandson, right? I’m Zhou Tianmin. Just call me Grandpa Zhou. I’ve known your grandpa for over forty years.” The old man patted Gao Peng on his shoulder. “Not bad. You look quite strong. A man should be strong.”

The old man’s face was full of wrinkles, and he wasn’t very tall. He was only about five feet and five inches tall, wearing a red Chinese traditional suit.

He looked very old, but Gao Peng didn’t feel any prejudice against him because of it. Before he came, Grandpa had already introduced his old friend.

Zhou Tianmin, one of the 12 elders of the Monster Trainer League and former chairman of the Nine Mountain Group. Although he had relinquished his position as chairman, he had given the post to his eldest son.

He was also a top-notch monster trainer who possessed a top-notch Lord-tier familiar.

Gao Peng was curious as to why his Grandpa hadn’t joined the Monster Trainer League. With his wealth and ability, he would have had no problem with becoming one of the elders of the league if he had wanted to.

Grandpa had only replied with a slight smile, “Not interested.”

As for how they had met, Grandpa hadn’t given any details.

“Grandpa Zhou, you look quite healthy,” Gao Peng praised him. There were only pros, no cons, of being generous with his praise.

Zhou Tianmin laughed happily. “I’m already old. I’m close to eighty.”

Although he did look old, his bones still looked very sturdy. He didn’t look like someone who was eighty at all.

They went into the mountain villa. Zhou Tianmin led Gao Peng to the dining room first. “You probably didn’t have anything to eat on the plane, right? Eat something to fill your stomach first.”

“Okay. Sorry for troubling you, Grandpa Zhou.” Gao Peng wasn’t someone who didn’t know how to interact with other people. It seemed that the relationship between Grandpa and Zhou Tianmin was quite good. He was also staying at his house, so he had to act humble and be polite.

While they ate at the dining table, Zhou Tianmin started to speak. “I’ve brought up the topic of you being a referee with them. I took your grandfather at his word and wanted to forgo doing the experiment, but there are some people who are making an issue out of it, so I’ll have to trouble you to come with me tomorrow to conduct an experiment. That will shut those people up.”

“Okay.” Gao Peng smiled.
