Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Actually...

Another point is that the mischievous ghost has been looking at too many "study materials". When it noticed that "Lin Zhixuan" was looking at it strangely, it immediately turned into a detective and began to suspect "Lin Zhixuan" with its wild imagination. It also secretly sent a message to Gu Ling on its tablet.

Having a prior record of reporting Xu Changqing to the police station, Gu Ling planned to subdue the man first, even without receiving a notification from Ye Wuyan. Whether it was good or bad, she would tie him up first and then deal with it.

So Gu Ling decided to play along, having the mischievous boy deliberately leave and return at roughly the same time each time.

Although she didn't know what level of beast tamer the other party was, Gu Ling remembered what Teacher Zhou Mengran had once taught her—

Attack the Beastmaster first.

When Lin Zhixuan suggested changing course to a more secluded path, Gu Ling guessed that the former might be about to make a move, so she let the mischievous one strike first.

As long as the pet cannot be summoned, even a master-level beast tamer will have to obediently be tied up.

Just then, a white shadow streaked across the night sky as Li Rui arrived at the scene riding a white-feathered eagle.

Seeing that Gu Ling was safe and sound, Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief: "Gu Ling, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Seeing that Li Rui had finally arrived, Gu Ling's forced composure finally relaxed.

Although Lin Zhixuan is currently being subdued by the mischievous boy, Gu Ling still dares not let her guard down.

Lin Zhixuan wanted to stall for time and find an opportunity to escape, but little did he know that Gu Ling was also waiting for Li Rui to arrive.

Beneath Li Rui's shadow, the Soul Reaper emerged, his eyes fixed on 'Lin Zhixuan,' and activated his hypnosis.

Soon, Lin Zhixuan could no longer resist and gradually lost consciousness.

Li Rui raised his hand and summoned the Snowbound Beast again, freezing Lin Zhixuan so that only his head remained.

After doing all this, Li Rui walked towards Lin Zhixuan, raised his hand and touched his face, but found no disguise.

"It's actually true..." Li Rui's eyes flickered slightly.

Gu Ling also noticed Li Rui's actions and stepped forward to ask, "Senior Li, is he the real Lin Zhixuan or a fake Lin Zhixuan? He just tried to summon his pet to attack me."

Gu Ling ran so far just now because she was afraid that another deformed monster would pop up on 'Lin Zhixuan's' face.

Although Gu Ling guessed that Lin Zhixuan might no longer be using the shapeshifting monster as a disguise when he tried to summon the pets from the pet space, she didn't dare to be careless.

The mischievous ghost danced around excitedly, "Hehehe~" The ghost had just seen the yellow summoning circle.

"The mischievous ghost said the summoning circle it saw was yellow, but Lin Zhixuan himself is only a one-star beast tamer, so the summoning circle should be white," Gu Ling relayed the mischievous ghost's words.

"Whether it's true or false, we'll find out soon enough." Li Rui didn't rush to a conclusion.

"Mr. Li."

At this moment, two investigators arrived with another Lin Zhixuan and two shapeshifters.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, the two investigators failed to break the ice binding Lin Zhixuan, and he is still frozen inside.

"Did you bring a human skeleton scanner?" Li Rui asked the two investigators, with another guess in his mind.

"I brought it."

Since the investigation was to examine shapeshifters, the investigators carried a small, simple human skeleton scanner, which they kept in a nearby car.

An investigator spent a little time getting the scanner and then scanned both "Lin Zhixuan".

Another investigator held a tablet and, after receiving the data transmitted from the scanner, retrieved Lin Zhixuan's personal data stored in the population database and compared it one by one.

The results came out very quickly.

The facial bone structure of the person named Lin Zhixuan who attempted to attack Gu Ling was significantly different from the skeletal information of Lin Zhixuan stored in the database.

The Lin Zhixuan captured at the beginning was the real Lin Zhixuan.

Li Rui and his group were almost tricked.

The two investigators looked serious.

"It seems she underwent plastic surgery. The suspect didn't just decide to use Lin Zhixuan's identity to escape on a whim; it was premeditated to replace Lin Zhixuan."

"Luckily, we saw through him and caught him, otherwise he would have lived under Lin Zhixuan's identity forever..."

Hearing this result, Gu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Thank goodness~ This time I didn't wrong an innocent person, so I don't have to apologize~

Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost seemed quite happy and excited, high-fiving each other in celebration.

"Meow~" Chief Meow Meow's operation to arrest the fugitive was a great success!

"Hehe~" Gui Gui knew he was a bad guy~ Gui Gui's reasoning was correct~

Li Rui instructed the two investigators: "The suspect is a four-star Beastmaster. You are responsible for escorting the suspect back to the Alliance. I will take care of sending Lin Zhixuan to the hospital for treatment."

"Yes, Mr. Li."

The two investigators placed the real Lin Zhixuan on the ground and then took away the fake Lin Zhixuan and the two shapeshifters.

After everyone left, Li Rui looked at Gu Ling again, his eyes filled with admiration: "Gu Ling, you did a good job this time."

Although Ye Wuyan sent a message to remind her, Gu Ling did not panic and let others see through her. Instead, she took the initiative and subdued the person. This boldness and meticulousness are qualities that many of Gu Ling's peers do not possess.

Li Rui can now understand a little bit why Ye Wuyan, with his arrogant personality, would value this young girl, Gu Ling.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Li."

Gu Ling patted Xian Jiu's little head in his arms: "It's mainly thanks to Xian Jiu and the mischievous little devil."

Li Rui glanced at the two little ones and nodded slightly: "Let's take the real Lin Zhixuan to the hospital first, and we can talk in detail on the way."

"Yes."

"..."

A dozen minutes later.

On the taxi.

Gu Ling accepted Ye Wuyan's video call request.

Ye Wuyan: "Little classmate, are you hurt? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, the person has been caught." Because there was a taxi driver in front of her, Gu Ling lowered her voice slightly.

"Thank you for the reminder earlier, senior."

"You're welcome, you're welcome~"

Upon hearing Gu Ling address Ye Wuyan as "senior," Li Rui paused for a moment before asking, "Gu Ling, do you want to apply to Shanghai University?"

"Yes."

Gu Ling didn't understand why the other party suddenly brought this up, but she still nodded in agreement.

The next second, Li Rui's calm voice came again:

"I also graduated from Shanghai University."

Hearing this, Ye Wuyan on the other end of the call immediately burst out laughing: "Little classmate, this guy is in the same year as me, but he's older and looks older than me. Unlike me, who's still young and handsome, he looks like an uncle, doesn't he?"

"...Uh." Gu Ling subconsciously relaxed her breathing.

Li Rui is actually a graduate from Shanghai in the same year as Ye Wuyan?

Will the other person hold a grudge against her for calling him "senior" out of respect?

Li Rui said in a calm voice, "You can pretend you didn't hear his usual crazy talk and ignore him."

"Who's talking nonsense? Don't try to slander me just because I'm not with you!" Ye Wuyan retorted immediately upon hearing this.

"Heh, if you're so capable, fly over here right now..."

"Li Rui! You think I can't do anything to you?!"

"What? Are you going to tell the teacher? Ye Wuyan, aren't you ashamed...?"

"..."

And Gu Ling...

What can Gu Ling do?

She quickly turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window, pretending she hadn't heard anything.

Let them argue, it's none of her business.
