"Qiao Sang has really made a name for herself. She's only in her first year of high school and already has three advanced pet beasts. Unlike your cousin, his only pet beast evolved to the intermediate level when he was in his third year."

"Isn't that right? I used to hold you when you were little, and now, in the blink of an eye, you've grown so much."

"I remember watching TV and thinking, 'This kid looks so much like Qiao Sang.' I never expected it to actually be her. If your mom hadn’t hosted this banquet, I wouldn’t have even known."

"A national champion in the Campus Beast Mastering League, and in the senior division, no less. Does that mean you're the strongest high schooler in the country?"

"I heard you're going to Chaosu Star as an interstellar exchange student. What's the name of that school? Is it as good as Shengshui High?"

"I always knew you’d do well when you grew up. And see? You really did!"

The people around were all talking at once.

Qiao Sang accepted the red envelopes with a polite smile.

To be honest, apart from her third uncle and third aunt, she had to mentally

"At least you didn’t block me."

Qiao Sang stared at her smile and hesitated for a moment.

After the old lady left, Yabao seemed to sense something and licked his Beast Tamer’s hand.

"Yap!"

Qiao Sang looked down and smiled.

"I’m fine."

Logically speaking, compared to familial love, what her grandmother felt was more like guilt. If she hadn’t won the National Campus Beast Mastering League, her grandmother probably wouldn’t have thought of her, let alone contacted her outside of a holiday.

Qiao Sang looked at her mother, who was smiling and toasting nearby, and walked toward her.

Saturday morning.

Shengshui High had no classes.

Normally, students would be resting in their dorms, but today, most were standing in the corridors, whispering as they watched a few figures below.

The team escorting Qiao Sang to the spaceport had arrived.

"When you get there, call me." Ye Xiangting said gently.

Qiao Sang nodded.

"I will."

"Remember to eat on time, go to bed early. You’re only in your first year. Even though you missed a lot of lessons because of the competition, don’t try to catch up all at once. Learning should be done step by step, understand?"

"Got it." Qiao Sang replied softly.

She didn’t tell her mother that she planned to take the college entrance exam right away. It was better to wait until she had actually passed, otherwise, if she failed, it would be embarrassing.

Plus, her mother loved to share news. If she announced it now and failed, that would be even worse.

As her mother continued to give advice, Qiao Sang finally said, "Mom, how about we talk while walking? You could come with me to the spaceport."

Ye Xiangting: ...

Yuhua Spaceport.

At the docking area for interstellar ships.

Qiao Sang waved at her mother before stepping onto the massive spacecraft.

"This time, you’re traveling with two other exchange students, one boy, one girl. One of them should be familiar to you." said Officer Chen, the government-assigned escort.

Familiar? Qiao Sang thought for a moment.

"Is it Tang Yi?"

Officer Chen praised, "You're good at guessing."

Duh. Among my competitors, the only logical choice for the program would be the national runner-up…

She humbly replied, "I just took a wild guess."

Just then, a voice called out, "Officer Chen!"

Qiao Sang turned to see Tang Yi and a stylish girl with waist-length hair, wearing a leather beret, holding a green-furred feline beast dressed in matching clothes.

Tang Yi held a miniaturized Paralulu.

As soon as their gazes met, Yabao and Paralulu locked eyes, battle intent surging.

"Xun Xun!"

Little Treasure bravely stepped forward.

Hold on, let him get beaten up first!
