Early the next morning, a bus slowly stopped in front of the Breeder Association.

Three figures stepped down.

It was none other than Su Ping, Dong Muyun, and Li Shu, who had accompanied them.

Upon seeing the group, a voice rang out, "It really isn't easy to get you to ask for help!"

Yang He smiled at Su Ping, who was opposite him. Two figures stood beside Yang He: a young woman in her late twenties, and a middle-aged, bespectacled man in his forties or fifties. At that moment, all three were smiling.

Su Ping also chuckled. "I had no choice, Brother Yang. You're the only expert I know who's even vaguely connected to Plant System Breeders..."

Yang He hurriedly waved his hands. "No, no, no! In front of Teacher Shangguan, I wouldn't dare call myself an expert! Come, Su Ping, let me introduce you."

He pointed to the affable, bespectacled man in the middle and said, "This is Teacher Shangguan Ye, a Senior Breeder specializing in tree-type Plant System, and currently the only Plant System Senior Breeder in Jianghai!"

A Senior Breeder! Su Ping's eyes lit up, and he quickly extended both hands. "Hello, Teacher Shangguan, thank you for coming despite your busy schedule. I'm sorry for making you wait."

Shangguan Ye just smiled, shaking his head and extending his hand. "Xiao Yang told me about your situation. I've heard of that large forest farm in the Western Suburbs but never had the chance to see it myself. Now, thanks to this opportunity provided by you and Miss Dong, I can satisfy my curiosity and see it for myself. I should be the one thanking you."

It was clear that this Senior Breeder, Shangguan Ye, was cultured, courteous, and enthusiastic. Before Yang He could speak again, Shangguan Ye gestured to the woman beside him, taking her hand, and said, "This is my wife, Meng Shan. She's also a Plant System Breeder from Linzhou."

"Hello, Teacher Meng."

"Haha, I've heard President Liu mention you several times before. Now I've finally seen you in person, and you're much more handsome than in the photos. Do you have a girlfriend?"

"..."

Meng Shan was equally enthusiastic.

After all, Shangguan Ye, also a Senior Breeder and Jianghai's only Breeder specializing in rare Plant System types, had heard some rumors about matters in Linzhou, even if he didn't know every single detail. Of course, he wasn't aware of the recent attack. However, he did know that Su Ping was set to represent Jianghai in this year's Breeder contest and was practically guaranteed to be promoted to Senior Specialist Breeder. This was on top of his awareness of Su Ping's connections and resources.

So, when Shangguan Ye heard Yang He's request concerning Su Ping, coupled with his genuine interest in the large forest farm in the Western Suburbs, he agreed without hesitation.

With the help of Shangguan Ye and Yang He, Su Ping felt even more confident.

Indeed, even though Su Ping had his Forest Wolf Troop, which was highly compatible with Plant-based Pet Beasts, he always aimed for absolute certainty in his endeavors. After all, that forest farm was simply too large.

Dong Muyun, standing aside, watched this unfold. Even I might not have been able to invite such a distinguished figure as Teacher Shangguan, she reflected. Unknowingly, Su Ping's influence has truly grown immense.

However, she quickly spoke up, "Everyone, please get on the bus. We have a chef on board who has prepared some breakfast."

Naturally, no one refused.

But after boarding, they were slightly surprised. Now they realized why such a large bus had been brought for just seven people, including the driver.

In the back of the bus, two large wolves were sprawled on the seats, craning their necks and lolling their tongues out as they tilted their heads to observe the new passengers boarding.

One was entirely a lush green, with an ethereal form.

The other was covered in branches, with horns on its head.

They were two massive wolf-shaped Pet Beasts.

One of them, an Elf Wolf, Shangguan Ye naturally recognized, as he even owned such a Pet Beast himself.

As for the other one, Shangguan Ye remembered the rumors he had heard. Looking at Su Ping, who sat across from him, he couldn't resist asking, "Su Ping, is this your..."

Su Ping nodded and rubbed the head of Old Sha, which had leaned forward.

Old Sha's ability, 'Nature's Tongue,' could accelerate the growth rate of Plant-based Pet Beasts, offering them unimaginable benefits. This was Su Ping's key advantage for this undertaking.

After receiving Su Ping's affirmative response, Shangguan Ye's eyes gleamed. He could feel the terrifying vitality emanating from this Pet Beast right in front of him.

This Pet Beast is pure Wood Element! Shangguan Ye thought. Although he was a Plant Type Breeder and owned an Elf Wolf himself, he knew that some animal-type Pet Beasts could also provide significant benefits to the Plant System. Unfortunately, now isn't the right time to ask about these things. The Breeder contest in Magic Capital is just a month away. All information about this Wolf Pet will naturally be revealed then. If I want to study it, or even breed one, I'll have to wait until after the contest.

So, Shangguan Ye could only cast a longing, reluctant gaze at Old Sha.

Dong Muyun watched this scene with a smile, and then she said, "The Victory Forest Farm covers over 1,000 square kilometers and is located on Niujiao Mountain, fifty-five kilometers west of Linzhou. We estimate there are over 80,000 trees and more than 2,000 Plant-based Pet Beasts remaining there!"
