School Diva Ate My Bait? I’ll Force Her To Spit It Out! - Chapter 30
Chapter 30 Temporary Exploration Team, Established
“How about it, Yu Guang? If you’re willing, you can come to our Beastmaster Association. With your talent, we’ll give you the green light to go all the way!” Captain Lu said bluntly.
Yu Guang listened to his honeyed words with a hint of curiosity. No matter how he looked at it, it sounded tempting. He turned his head to ask Cui Anyu, “How about it? Do you want to go in?”
This question surprised Cui Anyu. Why did Yu Guang care so much about her opinion? Little did she know that Yu Guang’s considerations were actually very simple. They were classmates, and they came from the same place.
As for Yu Guang, whether it was the Beastmaster Association or the Awakened Home, they had nothing to do with him at the moment. The only person who could negotiate with him was Cui Anyu. If they went in together, they would be able to look out for each other.
Cui Anyu lowered her head and thought for a moment. The mystic realm was like opening a blind box. Going in once was equivalent to a few years of cultivation, so it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Cui Anyu.
“If it’s possible, of course I want to go in.” Cui Anyu didn’t try to hide her thoughts at all. It would be hypocritical at a time like this. “I have the same sentiments,” Yu Guang repeated.
Since Yu Guang had the initiative, he would definitely help his people get more benefits. After all, he didn’t belong to the Beastmaster Association or the Awakened Home.
When Le Tai heard this, he hurriedly added, “Since Yu Guang has two people going in, I’ll send two people in as well. What about Captain Lu?”
“Of course, there are two…” These words were practically squeezed out from between Captain Lu’s teeth.
He originally wanted to rope in Yu Guang and let him stand on his side, but he did not expect this kid to be so skilled and bold that he actually formed a third force. It seemed like he would have to use some tricks to get him to join voluntarily.
“Lu Jie, Hou Zhengping, the two of you step out!” Captain Lu shouted at his own team.
They had a brief encounter with Yu Guang, so even if they didn’t introduce themselves, they could be considered acquaintances. The two young men were clearly taken aback. They looked at each other, then rolled their eyes as they walked over. Yu Guang observed the two of them. He had to admit that they had a tacit understanding when it came to the fact that they hated each other.
“S-rank beastmaster Lu Jie, subdued beast: Demonic Wolf.”
“S-rank beastmaster Hou Zhengping, subdued beast: Azure Cloud Eagle,” Captain Lu introduced.
If a beastmaster didn’t have a rank introduction, they could basically be considered newbies. The two of them were around Yu Guang’s age. Captain Lu mainly thought about how easy it would be to talk to people of the same age, so he tried to put in a few good words with Yu Guang.
However, the two of them clearly had other thoughts. They were both S rank, and they had already tamed their subdued beasts, so they could be considered impressive existences in the Beastmaster Association. He didn’t expect that an SSS rank person would suddenly appear, so the desire to win was instantly ignited!
Even though they were grateful to Yu Guang for saving them, it was a completely different matter. Lu Jie narrowed his eyes and asked, “We’ve already introduced ourselves. What’s your subdued beast?”
Yu Guang smiled and gave the same answer as before. “I don’t have a subdued beast.”
“You don’t?” The people from the Beastmaster Association were collectively shocked.

Lu Jie thought to himself, “Why are you joining in on the fun if you don’t have a subdued beast? Are you just standing there like a target? I was really stupid just now. I felt like I was facing a great enemy the moment I heard the word ‘SSS.’ In the end, the other party was just putting on a show.”
His heart felt calm now. He even felt that it was a little ridiculous.
Hou Zhengping seemed to be deliberately going against him. He immediately put on a look of admiration as he clung onto Yu Guang’s shoulder. “I admire your courage, brother. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you!”
“Thank you in advance,” Yu Guang said with a bitter smile. He felt that these two people were very interesting.
Captain Lu was very satisfied with what Hou Zhengping did. He turned toLe Tai and asked with a fake smile, “Who is the Awakened Home sending?”
Le Tai saw through Captain Lu’s purpose and felt that he could not let Yu Guang go! Although he thought that he had already won at the starting line, he still had a connection with Cui Anyu.
However, seeing this “Fake Maitreya” who had no bottom line, Yu Guang would be poached sooner or later if he didn’t seize the opportunity.
Le Tai looked around and sighed that he had too few people with him this time. No matter how he chose, only Lucia and Han Nan were the most suitable. Although their levels were not as high as the other party, they had spent more than half a day together with Yu Guang. They were both opponents and teammates, so they still had the foundation of a relationship.
However, considering that the two of them had just been injured, Le Tai asked in a low voice, “Can you two do it?”
“Of course!” Lucia answered affirmatively without thinking. She really wanted to go to the mystic realm. Moreover, it was of the fire attribute—it was just too compatible with her talent.
She nudged Han nan with her elbow, indicating for him to agree quickly.
Han Nan rolled his eyes at her. He was not interested, but he had seen through Le Tai’s intentions. He stood up unwillingly and stared at Le Tai. “I’ll go. Remember to leave me a subsidized spot.”
“Don’t worry.” Le Tai smiled.
“Hahaha, once you’ve decided, rest for twenty minutes and get ready to set off. Cough Cough!” Ke Zhen laughed and coughed twice. He clutched his chest and turned to his side.
Yu Guang sent the few of them off with his gaze. He felt someone approaching him.
He raised his head and saw that it was Le Tai. This person was very cold to people he wasn’t familiar with. He only started warming up when he saw the talent in the other party.
He pursed his lips into a smile and said, “Yu Guang, if you’re really planning to go to the Beastmaster Association, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Lu Jie or Hou Zhengping, just choose one person to befriend.”
“Why?” Yu Guang didn’t understand why he said that.
Le Tai continued, “You might not know the two of them, but you should have heard of the Jing Hei Hou family and the Bu Jiang Lu family.”
Of course, Yu Guang had heard of these two beastmaster families. The two places, Jing Hei and Bu Jiang, were also famous because of the two families. Not only that, the relationship between the two families was known to be poor, and neither side would submit to the other.
For Lu Jie and Hou Zhengping to be able to enter the Beastmaster Association without a rank, it could be seen that they were important figures in both families.
“You didn’t guess wrong. These two are the heirs of their respective families. They were born with high hopes, but the heavens played a trick on them, making their subdued beasts of the same rank. I heard that even their talent is the same. They could be said to have started comparing each other before they even met, treating each other as mortal enemies. If you want to deal with them in the middle, it’s a waste of time,” Le Tai warned him out of goodwill.
He knew that as a beastmaster, it was impossible for Yu Guang to stay in the Awakened Home for a long period of time. He might as well seize the time to be a good teacher and good friend. With his experience, Yu Guang might even look for him to discuss an important matter.
Yu Guang stared at Le Tai’s lively smile and nodded meaningfully, as if he had seen through Le Tai’s intentions.
He changed the topic. “Speaking of which, what is Mr. Le Tai responsible for in the Awakened Home? I see that you seem to be doing everything and know everything?”
