Beast Taming: the More the Better-Chapter 835 - 360: Su Ping: I’m Not Targeting Anyone..._2
"Isn’t there too many people here? Couldn’t Old Qin arrange something outside to manage this chaos? It’s affecting the image of Jianghai Forest Province a bit."
Beside him, Dong Muyun, who was a rare part-time driver today, adjusted her dark sunglasses:
"It’s normal to have a lot of people. Jianghai has so many people, there should be more eligible young Beast Tamers. Plus, you have parents and such sending their kids,
it’s hard to arrange. There’s no need, anyway, and formal events haven’t started. This association isn’t on a traffic artery, it’s the same in other provinces and cities."
She didn’t care for these formalities.
Su Ping glanced over, curious, and turned to Dong Muyun:
"Does Sister Dong fit the age standard to participate this time?"
Dong Muyun gave Su Ping a sidelong glance:
"Has no one told you not to ask a woman’s age? But you, this so-called backdoor scandal is quite the stir this time. Are you confident about handling it?"
Su Ping smiled: "Rest assured!"
With that, Su Ping didn’t say much, grabbed the sunglasses beside him, put them on, opened the car door, and stepped into the bustling crowd.
Dong Muyun grew interested, and instead of leaving, she lowered the window, propped her snow-white chin on her hand, leaning against the car’s door frame, watching Su Ping, curious to see what this unconventional kid planned to do.
In fact, Dong Muyun was puzzled.
This backdoor scandal shouldn’t have occurred, given Qin Erlong’s status. If he didn’t want it, the media wouldn’t spread it.
And judging by prior media attitudes towards Su Ping, such exposure would have been suppressed immediately.
There was no need for escalation.
Yet, here it was, even getting some coverage from lesser-known media on the internet and Jianghai Province’s internal forums.
Quite bizarre indeed.
However, Dong Muyun didn’t ask further, knowing that both Su Ping and Qin Erlong were prudent people, and there must be reason behind their actions.
Indeed, that’s the case.
"Hello, can I take a few minutes of your time for an interview?"
A pleasant voice reached him, and Su Ping halted, looking at the charming host standing before him, nodding.
Yang Zhuqing, observing the young man with defined facial contours beneath the sunglasses, joked:
"This student seems mysterious, could you be a star contestant? Haha, kidding, what’s your name, and do you have any expectations for your rank in this professional assessment?"
As a provincial TV host, Yang Zhuqing naturally drew attention, with many nearby watching her and curiously glancing at the young man.
Wearing sunglasses here, acting like a star? Even real celebrities here would be sidelined, wouldn’t they?
Several were silently scoffing.
Su Ping wasn’t bothered by these gazes, paused, then casually said:
"Rank? First place, shouldn’t be an issue."
A simple statement quieted the surrounding interview crowd centered on Su Ping and Yang Zhuqing.
Yang Zhuqing’s eyes visibly sparkled.
Finally, an intriguing, sensational individual.
First place!
In all Jianghai, amidst numerous contestants, even those with Beast Taming Realm power at Commandant Ninth Rank or Commander Tenth Rank, who would dare claim that in an interview?
Such public pronouncement, aimed at the province, invites ridicule.
Thus, anyone bold enough to say this isn’t ordinary.
"First place? This student sure has confidence! The provincial assessment’s format is a battle royale, with material collection, contestant elimination, even defeating ferocious beasts in the Secret Realm battlefield for point ranking,
this mode contains many uncertainties, strong contenders with bad luck might exit early, having this confidence shows your prowess, doesn’t it?"
Yang Zhuqing looked at the young man likely younger than herself, wondering if it was genuine confidence or showboating.
Yet, before her, this figure addressed her question:
"As for strength, average, mainly because opponents seem fairly ordinary."
This remark sparked renewed excitement after the brief silence.
Before Su Ping could speak further, surrounding contestants who followed Yang Zhuqing’s interview couldn’t hold back, all young, trying to appear humble and steady in front of the camera, yet at this moment, could hardly restrain themselves.
