Chapter 214 Helping Hands

“Oh, you all came back?” Su Ping felt somewhat glad that the other members in Nie Chengkong’s team had made it back safe and sound. Also, he happened to have something to ask them.

Similarly, all the others looked relieved to see Su Ping had also returned without a scratch.

“Good timing.” Ye Chenshan smiled in a friendly manner. “We just heard that the Mysterious Realm is going to be shut off ahead of schedule. We feared that you’d run into trouble if you stayed in there for longer.”

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. “Shut off?”

“Yeah. I think it’s an urgent decision or something,” answered Luo Guxue, “The entrance will be closed off in three days. I think something unpredictable happened to the dragon tower.”

Because I cleared the final floor? Su Ping thought.

This was bad news though. If whoever was administering the Mysterious Realm knew about the hidden legacy and how it could be found, they’d probably look for him. Or worse, they’d soon find out where he lived and ambush him at his home.

Damn it. Then I should head straight back to the shop instead of going home. The mark will protect me in a pinch. As long as I get inside the shop, no one will be able to hurt me...

Meanwhile, Zhou Feng’s team recognized the famous Team Polaris and felt even worse when they saw Su Ping talking to them like they were old friends.

Fu*k. Why didn’t I just give these damned kids more points and shoo them off?? Zhou Feng mentally complained with a wry face. That would have spared us all the trouble.

It was too late though. He had to go with the second plan, which was to find help to negotiate with Su Ping in private and hopefully erase his grudge via a sincere apology or something. He could accept the beating as long as this matter ended without further complications.

All the students had learned the names of the prominent teams before making the trip, so they already recognized the famous Team Polaris as well as an advanced teacher from their academy. They dreamed of joining a prestigious team in the future.

“Hey brother, what’s this Mysterious Realm?” Su Lingyue tugged Su Ping’s clothes.

Su Ping found it funny that his sister was acting so carefully here when she was an unruly little imp back home.

He put up the friendliest smile he could manage and looked at her.

“Not. Gonna. Tell you...”

Su Lingyue seemed to want to protest but held back.

Ye Chenshan and his friends had just realized that Su Lingyue had a sister. They silently kept her name in mind as they believed that this girl might be their ticket to get closer to Su Ping in the future.

Besides, joining barren area expeditions at such a young age only meant that Su Lingyue had great talent as well.

Su Lingyue noticed the other’s attention and blushed. She was smart enough to understand that it was her “stupid brother” who had given her a chance to get this close to the members of Team Polaris.

She had always feared that this useless brother of hers would bring her problems by causing trouble outside. Never in her life would she expect that it would turn out to be the opposite.

Guess I was... wrong about him after all.

Of course, she wouldn’t admit that out loud.

“I think I heard about such a thing once,” said Lu Pengfei, “It’s usually the best teams or settlers who are able to go there. You guys know Ye Hao? He didn’t join any barren expeditions because he went to the Mysterious Realm. Or so I head. Did you go there as well, Mister Su? Man, you’re way ahead of us. Again!”

Ye Chenshan looked at the group behind Su Ping who seemed to look rather glum for some reason. “And they are...?”

“Ah, good timing. I need some help regarding... these people.” Su Ping glanced at Zhou Feng’s group. “They call themselves Team Night Wolf. They immorally took merit points that are rightfully my sister’s, and also threatened her. Now here I am, getting some justice done. My sister and her friends will be joining a lot more missions around here. Hope you guys can look after them when you can.”

Ye Chenshan already knew what was going on because such things were pretty common between settler teams and students.

He gave Zhou Feng an unfriendly glimpse. “Scamming academy students? That makes you happy, huh?”.

Zhou Feng put up a sad smile. “Mister Ye, this is all a huge misunderstanding. We already agreed to pay compensation. You’re Mister Su’s acquaintance, no? I’d appreciate it if you can help me talk to him and find out how to amend our mistake. We’ll do anything we can.”

Ye Chenshan looked at Su Ping, hoping to learn his opinion.

Su Ping was just planning to stalk these guys and deal with them one by one once they reached somewhere private. Though he no longer had time for that when he had to return to his shop asap.

“Let’s see... Mister Ye, you said you owed me one and wanted to pay me back sometime, right? Here, I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Ye Chenshan could see that Su Ping was angry since his sister had almost gotten hurt. He had no problem agreeing, but he was a little disappointed seeing that Su Ping was planning to use the “favor” for such a trifling thing “I see.” Ye Chenshan nodded. “Sure, I’ll handle the rest from here.”

Luo Guxue was already doing the job by yelling at Zhou Feng, “They’re MY students, you know that?? Did you seriously take everything from them when they worked so hard? Who gave your team the right to harass innocent students like shameless rascals?”

Zhou Feng’s lips twitched as he had been humiliated too many times that day. Still, there was nothing he could do against Luo Guxue’s team.

Under many pairs of watchful eyes, Zhou Feng went to the counter and made the point transfer, before quickly making off with his team.

Ye Chenshan watched them go with a frown. “Mister Su, trust me, I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

Su Ping nodded and went to the counter as well. It was time to browse the merchandise and buy something.
