Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 63 Returning to My Hometown

Gu Lingquan handed over the pet eggs in the two duffel bags, as well as the follow-up issues with the two drivers and security guards, to Ye Wuyan.

Ye Wuyan then passed the ball to the group of the Hundred Flowers Dojo.

Finally, Gu Ling and Ye Wuyan returned to Henghu Station feeling relaxed.

After the crisis was resolved, Henghu Station released a message on its official app, so passengers who had already booked tickets also received a text message notification on their mobile phones.

For passengers like Gu Ling who are forced to disembark midway, the station will arrange a new high-speed train with free tickets to continue transporting them to their destination.

However, you will need to go to the nearest station ticket window to register your information again.

Ye Wuyan no longer needed to take this train and was preparing to change to a high-speed train to Yunnan Province, so he also needed to go to the ticket window to buy a ticket.

only……

As Gu Ling walked, she began to feel the strange looks from the passengers around her... well, no, these looks were all directed at Ye Wuyan next to her.

It's not even autumn yet!

They were fully armed, except for wearing helmets.

In public, who wouldn't want to take a second look at which idiot wore this?

After holding it in the whole way, Gu Ling finally couldn't help but ask, "Senior Ye, why are you wrapped up so tightly? Aren't you hot?"

Ye Wuyan was wearing sunglasses and a mask, his hands were in his pockets, and he slightly hunched his neck, burying it inside his hoodie collar, with a hoodie hoodie on top of his head...

They were wrapped up completely, without any air leakage.

To be honest, if Teacher Zhou hadn't told her from the beginning that this was "Senior Ye," Gu Ling would have felt more like some furtive fugitive.

It's at the level where the bounty is very high.

Ye Wuyan lowered his head and coughed twice: "Cough cough... I've had a bit of a cough and a cold recently, and the doctor said I need to protect myself from the wind and cold."

Gu Ling: "Oh."

Do not believe.

Seeing that the other party was hiding something, Gu Ling didn't ask any more questions.

After arriving at the ticket window, Gu Ling successfully registered her information and received two new train tickets to her hometown.

Turning around, I saw Ye Wuyan standing in front of more than a dozen ticket booths, looking around.

Gu Ling walked over: "Senior Ye, my train ticket is sorted out..."

Upon seeing Gu Ling, Ye Wuyan reacted as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly asked, "Little classmate, where do you buy tickets to Yunnan Province?"

Gu Ling tentatively suggested, "I still have fifteen minutes before I get on the bus, how about... I take a look for you, Senior Ye?"

"Thank you, little classmate! You are beautiful inside and out!" Ye Wuyan accepted the offer in a second, without showing the slightest bit of embarrassment.

"……You are welcome."

It's just a show of humanistic concern for older young people who have trouble finding their way around.

Gu Ling glanced at the various information boards at the ticket booths, then pointed to one of them: "You can buy a direct ticket to Yunnan Province at this ticket booth. Just ride until the last stop."

Ye Wuyan silently raised his hand: "Then how did you tell it was the last stop?"

Gu Ling: ?

The two words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back by Gu Ling's good upbringing.

This is a senior student... I can't argue with him...

It's fun to argue with people, but you can't win a fight.

"...There will be an announcement that everyone will get off at the last stop. If you see all the other passengers getting off, then it's the last stop."

"Oh..." Ye Wuyan pulled a small notebook out of his hoodie pocket, with a small ballpoint pen tucked into the side of the notebook: "Wait a minute, let me write this down first."

Do I even need to remember that?

Gu Ling was full of questions: "Senior Ye, have you never ridden in a car before?"

"I've sat here before, but it's easy to forget." Ye Wuyan was looking down, diligently writing and drawing in his notebook, his tone somewhat casual as he answered.

Ok.

He also suffers from multiple amnesias.

Gu Ling continued, "Senior Ye, once you arrive at the station, if it's not far from your destination, you can just find a private car, give them your address, and they'll take you there."

"Or, Senior Ye, do you have any friends over there? You could ask one to come and pick you up."

Ye Wuyan thought for a moment: "We wouldn't call each other friends, but it seems like someone is coming to pick me up. Let me find their phone number... I found it."

"...I've got it, thank you, little student."

After finishing writing, Ye Wuyan put the pen and notebook into his pocket.

Before the train arrived, the two went to the waiting hall and found a seat.

A few minutes later, Ye Wuyan's phone rang.

The phone ringtone was very simple and unadorned; it was a pre-recorded young female voice, sweet and gentle, with a hint of playfulness at the end: "Answer the phone! Answer the phone! Answer the phone now!"

"Hey~" Ye Wuyan swiped to answer the call, leaning back in his chair. "Huh? Where am I? I'm still in Hailan City... It'll be quick, it won't make a difference if it's just a few more days, right? I'm not in a hurry, why are you all so anxious?"

"Three days! No, five days... within a week! I'll definitely be there! You guys find someone to help me then..."

Ye Wuyan's voice faltered for a moment, and he quickly turned to look at Gu Ling.

Which station is the final stop?

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling reluctantly replied, "Yunchuan Province, Shanxi Station."

Didn't I just buy a train ticket?

How could you forget it so quickly?

If Ye Wuyan hadn't acted so genuinely, Gu Ling would have suspected he was lying to her.

Soon, Ye Wuyan gave the address to the person on the other end of the phone: "Just pick me up at Lushan Station in Yunnan Province. I've already bought my train ticket for today, and I definitely didn't make a mistake this time..."

Listen.

There seemed to be a hint of pride in those words.

"Meow~" Xian Jiu, who was playing games in Gu Ling's arms, twitched her ears and made a little noise.

Beastmaster~ This two-legged beast is a bit silly... mmm!

Gu Ling instinctively covered Xian Jiu's mouth.

As soon as she covered it with her hand, Gu Ling realized that Senior Ye couldn't understand what Xian Jiu was saying.

Just as Gu Ling was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Ye Wuyan, who was next to her, hung up the call and quickly flicked Xian Jiu's forehead hard with his finger!

"Meow!"

Xian Jiu covered her forehead, about to bare her teeth at Ye Wuyan, when she heard the latter chuckle softly.

"You're calling me stupid?"

Gu Ling looked astonished: "Senior Ye, you...you can understand what pets are saying?"

"I guess so." Ye Wuyan withdrew his hand and glanced at Xian Jiu: "She's been exceptionally talented since childhood, there's nothing we can do about it~"

Feeling guilty, Xian Jiu dared not act wildly anymore and huddled in Gu Ling's arms, shrinking her small body.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Gu Ling bid Ye Wuyan farewell and had just gotten into the car with her suitcase when Zhou Mengran called.

Gu Ling sat in her seat and answered the phone: "Teacher Zhou, this is..."

After listening to Gu Ling's account of what happened at Henghu Station, Zhou Mengran breathed a sigh of relief.

With the crisis averted, Zhou Mengran couldn't help but tease, "I don't know whether to say you were lucky or unlucky..."

Lucky, huh?

But when he went back to his hometown, he ran into two vicious pet poachers.

Bad luck, huh?

He happened to be on the same high-speed train as Ye Wuyan, and now he has pocketed the 50 yuan reward.

Zhou Mengran explained her situation: "I had already set off for your place, but I received news that two Blastoise Dragons were about to enter the city. Since Senior Ye was with you, I went to intercept them first..."

Originally, Zhou Mengran should have arrived at Henghu Station before the people from Baihua Martial Arts Academy, but unexpectedly, this accident happened along the way.

"Those people in the reserve have withheld so much information, and they think they can get rid of me with a 50 yuan reward? Ha! Absolutely not!"

"Senior Ye is right, we really need to extort some money from them."

Now that the crisis was over, Gu Ling was preoccupied with the upcoming bonus, her voice tinged with excitement: "Anyway, as long as the outcome is good, that's all that matters."

50 million!

Unexpectedly, Teacher Zhou helped her secure the entire 50 yuan reward! What a steal!

"It's good that you weren't frightened. Now go home and enjoy your vacation. I'll transfer your bounty to you through my account after I've finished negotiating with the reserve," Zhou Mengran said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Zhou."

Gu Ling remembered Ye Wuyan's promise that if she got into Shanghai University, he would help her get a dragon-type pet.

So, Gu Ling also told Zhou Mengran about it.

"Teacher Zhou, do you think this is real or fake? Is that senior Ye just kidding me?"

Compared to Ye, whom she had just met, Gu Ling trusted Teacher Zhou, whom she had spent a month with, more.

On the other end of the call, Zhou Mengran's expression revealed a hint of surprise.

How could he say such a thing?

Several seconds later, Gu Ling heard Zhou Mengran's reply: "Although Senior Ye's personality is somewhat carefree and unrestrained, he will definitely keep any promises he makes. You won't lose out by agreeing."

Gu Ling: "Teacher Zhou, what if I don't get into Shanghai University?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mengran chuckled lightly: "Even if Senior Ye hadn't mentioned it, I would still believe that you can get into Shanghai University in two years. I have confidence in you."

"Don't worry, go and negotiate with Senior Ye. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me anytime."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhou."

Gu Ling hasn't really thought about what kind of university she will apply to in two years.

But in the mouths of Senior Ye and Teacher Zhou, it was as if Shanghai University, one of the two top universities in the country, was like a cabbage at a fire sale price in a vegetable market, which could be taken away at any time.

...Well, these two are both students at Shanghai University, so they are indeed just ordinary people to them.

Gu Ling suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "By the way, Teacher Zhou, are you familiar with Senior Ye?"

Zhou Mengran replied, "Before today, he didn't know me, and I had only heard of him. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious."

Originally, Gu Ling wanted to ask why Ye Xuechang's memory was so bad that he had to carry a small notebook with him to take notes.

But Teacher Zhou wasn't familiar with Senior Ye, so he probably didn't know the inside story either.

"..."

……

Three hours later.

After getting off at Guling Station, I took two more buses and finally arrived at a small town nestled between mountains and the sea.

"Phew~"

After getting off the bus, Gu Ling pushed the suitcase while Xian Jiu sat on it, looking around the ordinary-looking town that was full of the scent of the sea.

"Meow~" Xianjiu's cat eyes were sparkling at this moment, her gaze constantly shifting back and forth.

Even a fallen leaf on the street seemed incredibly novel to Xian Jiu.

Ever since she hatched, Xianjiu had stayed in the pet incubation base, always curious about what the outside world was like.

Later, after signing a contract with Gu Ling, he only stayed within the three points of Nanping County.

This was the first time Xianjiu had traveled far from home and arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

"Xian Jiu, this is the kindergarten I used to attend, but it seems like it has moved away..."

"The square here hosts fireworks displays every year for the Lantern Festival; the fireworks are beautiful..."

"And here... this little shop, I remember when I was little my cousin and I would secretly take two yuan from my aunt's wallet and then buy popsicles."

"...When we got home, my lips were red from being chilled, and my second aunt noticed immediately. We were both given a spicy beating on the spot."

"..."

Every time Gu Ling walked into a familiar place, she couldn't help but tell Xian Jiu some interesting stories from her childhood.

It seems that after graduating from university and starting work in the last century, I rarely returned to my hometown. My childhood memories of my hometown have gradually faded and become blurry...

Now, Gu Ling has become a high school student again, and is walking the streets of her hometown once more. The childhood memories she thought she had long forgotten are gradually becoming clearer and are radiating new life.

Before she knew it, Gu Ling had arrived in front of an ordinary three-story house.

The main entrance was half open, and Gu Ling, pulling her suitcase and sitting on it, walked in.

Upon entering, hearing the sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen, Gu Ling called out without thinking, "Second Aunt~"

Xianjiu jumped off the suitcase, her cat paws on the floor, her eyes curiously surveying her 'new home'.

Hearing the noise, a middle-aged woman emerged from the kitchen. Time had left its mark on her once youthful and beautiful face, but over the years, her gentle and warm nature had been etched into her very being.

"Hey! Xiao Ling, you're back!" Xiang Jinli looked at Gu Ling with surprise and quickly walked over. "You seem to have grown a little taller. Did you eat well at school?"

Hearing the familiar nagging voice, Gu Ling nodded with a smile: "Yes, I've always eaten on time."

"Second Aunt, this is my contracted pet, named Xianjiu, a lightning-attribute Thunder Mark Cat."

Gu Ling introduced Xianjiu to Xiang Jinli.

Xian Jiu walked up to Xiang Jinli, her cat tail standing upright, the tip swaying in the air: "Meow~"

"What an adorable and beautiful little kitten!" Xiang Jinli squatted down and stroked Xian Jiu's head. "Xiao Ling, you have a good eye for choosing. Gu Zhou insisted on picking a hard rock, saying that kind of rock is the most powerful in battle."

"By the way, Gu Zhou and Gu Ya just went out to play. Go back to your room and check. The room was just cleaned yesterday, and the blankets and bedding have been replaced with new ones. Go see if there's anything you're missing. You can go to the supermarket to buy it before it gets dark."

"Second Aunt, I'll go upstairs first then."

Gu Ling carried her suitcase up to the second floor.

There are three rooms on the second floor. One of them is Gu Ling's room, and the other two are her older cousin's rooms.

inside the room.

Gu Ling opened her suitcase, took out all the clothes inside, and put them in the closet in her room.

Looking up, I saw that Xian Jiu had jumped onto the desk by the window and was peering out the window.

"Xian Jiu, I didn't bring your cat bed back this time, so you'll be sleeping in the same bed with me for the National Day holiday."

Hearing this, Xian Jiu happily turned around and responded with a "Meow~".
