Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 545, Volume 5: A Legendary Stories of Our Time - A Necessary Return

The siege by the two major families is clearly extremely disadvantageous for the Tang family.

and……

Is Father Injured?

Tang Ruyan's heart tightened, her expression was complicated, and she felt a strange pain in her heart. She didn't know if her father still recognized her as his useless daughter.

However, regardless of the circumstances, with the two major families besieging the Tang family and my father injured, the Tang family is indeed... in big trouble!

"Ruyan, you really don't know?"

Looking at Tang Ruyan's ever-changing expression, Xia Yumeng couldn't help but ask in surprise, remembering that Tang Ruyan had previously said she would take them on a trip.

Tang Ruyan was unaware of the huge incident that had befallen the Tang family, and she couldn't understand why.

Tang Ruyan snapped out of her daze, glanced at her best friend, and offered no explanation. After a brief silence, she turned to look at the counter, where Su Ping was registering customers' pets.

Her eyes flickered slightly, but she gritted her teeth and said to Xia Yumeng beside her, "Xiaomeng, thank you for telling me this. I may not be able to stay with you. I have to go back."

"I'm fine, but you have to be careful if you go back," Xia Yumeng said worriedly. She knew that the Tang family had encountered such a thing, and if Tang Ruyan wanted to go back, she couldn't stop her, nor did she have any reason to stop her.

Tang Ruyan nodded slightly and immediately walked towards the counter.

Su Ping was registering a customer's pet when he heard Tang Ruyan's voice: "Boss."

"Um?"

Su Ping looked up.

"I need to ask for leave," Tang Ruyan said in a low voice.

Su Ping was surprised. Why would he need to ask for leave when he was just staying at the store?

Where are you going?

"Nothing much, just asking for leave," Tang Ruyan said sullenly, unwilling to drag Su Ping into this mess.

"What do you think this place is? If you don't have a reason, I won't approve it!" Su Ping said irritably.

The customers queuing next to her also looked at Tang Ruyan with surprise. Was she one of Su Ping's employees?

So audacious! Facing this legendary senior, he actually dared to ask for leave without any reason, and his attitude was so self-righteous. Impressive!

Tang Ruyan was somewhat speechless, so she could only say, "My friend is in Longjiang, and I'd like to ask for leave to go out and have some fun with him."

After saying that, she turned her head and pointed to Xia Yumeng in the distance.

Upon hearing her words and seeing Su Ping looking over, Xia Yumeng quickly reached out to greet Su Ping, displaying a well-behaved demeanor.

The elderly man behind her, who held a title, was extremely nervous. He looked at Su Ping with a forced smile and nodded and bowed from afar.

Su Ping glanced at the table, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said to Tang Ruyan, "The table will be full soon, and you'll be able to leave work soon. If you want to spend time with your friend, why bother taking leave? Just go out with her after get off work. How long are you planning to stay?"

Tang Ruyan paused for a moment, then said, "I need to take three days off. I want to spend more time with her, and I don't want to stay here all day."

As she spoke the last sentence, her fingers clenched slightly. Only those who knew her well knew that she would make this small gesture when she lied.

"You don't want to stay here?" Su Ping frowned slightly.

He looked her up and down carefully, and when he saw her clenched hands, a glint flashed in his eyes. He said, "Tell me honestly, what exactly are you planning to do on leave? And why take three days off? Who will take care of me at the shop if you leave? Never mind, I won't ask you anymore. You two, please come here for a moment."

Upon hearing Su Ping's greeting, both Xia Yumeng and the titled elder felt a pang of anxiety and hesitated, but still steeled themselves and stepped forward.

"Greetings, senior."

Both of them spoke respectfully.

After saying that, he looked at Su Ping nervously. The old man with the title was already regretting that he hadn't stopped his young lady, fearing that Su Ping would take his anger out on them because of Tang Ruyan.

Their Xia family couldn't withstand the wrath of a legend, let alone a legend. Even the wrath of a large family like the Tang family was beyond their capacity to bear.

"She's taking three days off to go out with you guys?" Su Ping asked, squinting.

The two men felt uneasy under Su Ping's gaze. At this moment, Su Ping was no longer the ordinary man he had been before, but exuded a majestic aura that instilled fear in others.

"Don't scare them," Tang Ruyan said quickly, seeing Su Ping's attitude.

Xia Yumeng's face was pale, and she felt as if her whole body was sealed by sharp swords. It seemed that if she made the slightest move, she would be torn apart by thousands of swords. This extremely real sense of danger made her heart almost stop beating.

The titled elder behind her was also covered in cold sweat. In front of a legendary figure, he naturally dared not lie, and hurriedly said, "Senior, please don't be offended. Miss Tang wants to ask for leave because she wants to return to her own family. It has nothing to do with us. I hope you will forgive me. It was my slip of the tongue. It was all my fault."

He wanted to take the blame for his young mistress's mistakes, so that if Su Pingzhen got angry, he could kill him without implicating the Xia family.

"Back to the Tang family?"

Su Ping was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but turn to look at Tang Ruyan.

Why?

He asked the question calmly.

Tang Ruyan's expression turned slightly grim when she realized her secret had been exposed. She didn't dare look Su Ping in the eye and lowered her head, saying, "The Tang family is in trouble, I... have no choice but to return."

"But the Tang family has already expelled you, and you are no longer a member of the Tang family." Su Ping stared at her.

He remembered everything that happened in the Royal League.

Tang Ruyan's younger sister, who has now inherited the title of young master of the Tang family, casually said in front of him:

If she provokes you, just kill her.

Such indifference would be unforgivable to Su Ping no matter what.

Hearing Su Ping's words, Tang Ruyan raised her head again, her eyes calm and clear. She said, "But the blood of the Tang family still flows in my veins. I know they don't consider me a member of the Tang family, but... I am a member of the Tang family, even if all members of the Tang family don't acknowledge it, but that's the truth!"

Su Ping's expression changed slightly.

Looking into the girl's bright eyes, he suddenly felt they were dazzling.

He said in a low voice, "So, you really absolutely have to go?"

"We absolutely have to go!"

"What difficulties has your Tang family encountered? What can you do if you go?"

Tang Ruyan was stunned and fell silent.

She was only a seventh-tier battle pet master. Although her battle pets were quite good, comparable to ordinary eighth-tier battle pet masters, in a battle between large families like the Situ and Wang families, a mere eighth-tier battle pet master was nothing more than a speck of dust. Even a titled master would not be of much use in such a situation.

"If I cannot return to my roots in life, then let us die together and be buried together."

After a long silence, Tang Ruyan gave her answer.

Su Ping frowned, not expecting her to be so resolute.

"Since you're going back with the determination to die, then I can't let you leave like this."

Su Ping raised his hand and pressed it on her head, saying, "You're at least a temporary employee I picked up. If you really die, where am I going to find another one? You said you don't want to stay here all day. What a coincidence! I like to force people to do things they don't want to do. From now on, you'd better prepare to stay here forever."
