Su Ping declines an invitation to guest commentate, suspecting it might be Vice President Lu Guangming attempting to suppress him. He expresses confidence that his current status will deter any such attempts. Meanwhile, in a private office, influential figures including Leng Ye, Sang Sheng, and an elder discuss the revival of Flame and Water Venerables and the potential dangers they pose. They debate assigning this task to the strongest young Beastmaster, with Leng Ye expressing concern for Su Ping's safety and arguing he shouldn't bear such a risk. Subsequently, Leng Ye dispatches Lu Guangming to summon Su Ping, intending to discuss matters with him personally.

The office atmosphere was slightly heavy at this moment until the door was opened.

However, just as Leng Ye turned his head, thinking Lu Guangming had brought Su Ping back so quickly, he froze sharply upon seeing who it was.

Everyone who noticed this astonishment was also slightly stunned and turned their heads to look at the unexpected newcomer.

Azure blue long hair!

Snow-white skin so pale it was almost translucent, and similarly blue pupils that carried a hard-to-describe mix of liveliness and severe dignity.

Ice Dragon King!

One of the most unique Dragon Kings in Dragon City.

A presence on the verge of advancing to the Legendary, already considered half-step Legendary Level, vastly different from ordinary Spirit Saint Level, even if one is a Beastmaster and the other a Pet Beast.

However, none of the people present expected that the Ice Dragon King would show up here at this moment?

"Lord Ice Dragon King? Why are you here?"

Sang Sheng spoke subconsciously.

Ice Dragon King smiled warmly, her ice crystal-like face exquisitely sculpted, like flowers and sunshine, incredibly vibrant:

"Holy Dragon especially asked me to come and say that he is glad several of you could come and pay attention to the beastmaster battles of the younger generation in Dragon Nation,

but please, be mindful of your status, and avoid affecting the smooth progress of the matches, especially the interference with the results and rankings."

Upon hearing this, Leng Ye frowned slightly, while the white-browed elder looked at Leng Ye with interest before laughing and said:

"Of course, this year’s youth professional assessment is conducted on the principles of absolute fairness, justice, and transparency."

Ice Dragon King smiled again:

"That couldn’t be better..."

However, just then, Leng Ye spoke:

"Ice Dragon King, in the end, this professional assessment is merely for commander-level young professionals! Why send a young lad on the envoy to the Endless Sea Domain? There are so many seasoned Advanced Beastmasters..."

Ice Dragon King’s beautiful eyes glanced at Leng Ye, calmly:

"Holy Dragon’s decision, does Ghost Saint question it?"

Leng Ye’s eyes narrowed, yet he said nothing in the end.

Ice Dragon King smiled sweetly once again:

"Why rush, Ghost Saint? The professional assessment is only halfway through, and it’s uncertain who will emerge victorious! Besides, this matter hasn’t been entirely finalized yet. It might take a very long time!

Moreover, where exactly in the Endless Sea Domain it will be, is still unknown, so why the rush?

And I can reveal in advance that when the time comes, I will go personally! In such a case, shouldn’t Ghost Saint feel assured?"

Leng Ye lifted his head and looked at the infamously fierce Ice Dragon King in Dragon City, indifferent:

"It’s precisely because you are accompanying that I am not assured."

The seductive smile at the corners of the Ice Dragon King’s mouth froze instantly, and the temperature in the office dropped abruptly.

However, just then, the office door was knocked again.

Lu Guangming and Su Ping slowly walked in.

"Lord Ghost Saint..."

Su Ping looked at the few present and raised his eyebrows: "Met the elders."

Leng Ye nodded slightly, then said to Lu Guangming:

"Alright, the matches are about to start, you go first."

Lu Guangming nodded quickly, closing the stern atmosphere of the door,

Su Ping looked curiously at the few present, apparently not having reacted yet.

"Su Ping, come, let me introduce them to you."

Leng Ye remained silent, while Sang Sheng gestured with a smile.

"This is Saint Yuan, also now the dean of Imperial Capital Academy, an old-hand among Holy Spirit Level Beastmasters!"

Sang Sheng pointed to the white-browed elder and laughed.

Su Ping was startled, quickly saying: "Met Saint Yuan, senior."

The latter also squinted with a smile, nodding but saying nothing more.

"This is Feather Saint, mainly skilled in medical-type pet beasts, with deep knowledge in Life Series and Light Series!"

Sang Sheng then pointed to the fairly ordinary-looking woman of considerable charm.

"Met Feather Saint, senior."

"Hello, Su Ping."

Feather Saint waved, considering it a greeting.

Su Ping turned his gaze to Leng Ye:

"Second Lord, did you want me for something?"

As soon as he said this, Leng Ye pondered slightly, clearly reluctant to say certain things with Ice Dragon King’s presence.

Moreover, since even Holy Dragon brought it up with a word of advice, he couldn’t refute too much.

Finally, after a pause, he said helplessly:

"How have you been recently? Is everything influencing you greatly? Also, Old Chen is quite interested in you and wants you to come to meet him."

Su Ping shook his head: "Much better."

As for... Old Chen?

The white-browed elder chuckled, glancing at Leng Ye, then nodded:

"Su Ping, about the matter Little Lu went to you for last time, would it not be possible to have my say?"

Su Ping was helpless:

"Old Chen, I really do not have experience in this area, and I don’t want to stand out too much. After this professional assessment ends, let’s keep it low-profile, shall we?"

"Tsk, they say fame should be sought early, but only you young lads would pass up such a great chance to not stand out.

But it’s good, a prominent tree invites the wind, that’s not necessarily a good thing."
