“Just bring them with you, when the time comes, you can have your teammates help look after them, right?

I remember that Agunas can’t enter the competition, can he?

So just let Agunas take care of them then.”

“Let Agunas help look after them?…

It’s probably better if you, Najia, help take care of them for a while, Agunas, you should listen to Najia, okay?”

After glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas turned his head away somewhat angrily, and Qi Chen said with some curiosity,

“What’s wrong with you?

I think Agunas is quite reliable.”

“If he doesn’t go learn the Dynasty’s etiquette…

well, it would be fine.”

Remembering the recent exchanges with Agunas, Feng Yuan felt somewhat of a headache, as Agunas always believed those royal customs and etiquette were reasonable.

“Dynasty’s etiquette?”

“Yeah, if Agunas tells you to follow any so-called etiquette, just ignore it, just be happy, but don’t break those bottom lines for me, huh!”

Speaking, Feng Yuan gave those Spirit Beasts a warning look, the Dreaming Dragon Baby nodded its head cheerfully, floating around, and Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan with some dissatisfaction.

“Have you brought the clothes you’ll wear for tomorrow’s competition?”

“Is this outfit not okay?”

“Do you think it’s appropriate?

Suddenly, there’s a person dressed in a special forces uniform among the contestants.

Even though you are wearing a non-staff uniform, ordinary people might not recognize it.”

“Hehe～I thought you might have me wear a uniform to compete～”

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Liao Yu said with annoyance,

“If I really let you do that, Han Lei would never forgive me.

Did you really bring your clothes for the competition?”

Seeing Feng Yuan’s empty hands, Liao Yu was very skeptical.

Glancing at Big Cat, Feng Yuan said,

“Brought them, they’re in Big Cat’s bag.”

“Ah…

you sure know how to take advantage.”

Liao Yu looked at the bag around Big Cat’s neck with some speechlessness, and Feng Yuan said with hands on his hips, proudly,

“Of course～”

“But why did you bring so many Spirit Beasts?

I can’t believe they are all your Beast Tamers.”

“Of course not, but I haven’t had time to take them out on weekends recently, right?

They are also interested in the competition, so I thought I’d take them out for a stroll.

When it’s time for my competition, I’ll count on you, Brother Liao, to take care of them～”

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Liao Yu said with annoyance,

“How am I supposed to help take care of them?

During the competition, we need to ensure the safety of the venue and its surroundings, preventing suspicious people from sneaking in, I expect I’ll be quite busy.”

“Eh…

what should we do then.”

Seeing the Dreaming Dragon Baby looking pitifully at him, Liao Yu said somewhat helplessly,

“Well, I can ask someone else for help?

After all, Han Lei and I definitely won’t have time to take care of them for you.”

“Can’t they just stay in the rest area by themselves?”

“I don’t think that’ll work.

Although I’m not too familiar with the temperament of your Spirit Beasts, just by looking at this Dreaming Dragon Baby, it’s unlikely to quietly stay in the rest area the whole time, especially since our rest area doesn’t have a view of the competition.”

“Feng Yuan, come over here for a second.”

Seeing Elder Li outside the door, Feng Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Noticing Feng Yuan’s change in demeanor, Liao Yu harbored a bad feeling, but it was too late as Feng Yuan had already approached Elder Li and said,

“Elder Li, could I ask a favor of you?”

Looking at Feng Yuan, Elder Li said calmly,

“What is it?”

Looking back at the Spirit Beasts, Feng Yuan scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, and said,

“It’s just…

during the competition, could I trouble you to look after them for me?

They can just follow behind you.”

Glancing at Feng Yuan and then sweeping his gaze over the Spirit Beasts behind him, Elder Li thought for a moment, understanding the situation, and nodded, saying,

“I can, but I won’t be able to devote any energy to taking care of them.”

“No problem, this way is just fine～ Thank you～”

“Alright, let’s get down to business.

Can you get in touch with the White Wolf Deity?”

“I can, but what do you need from it?”

“It’s nothing major, just that the research institute has some questions about the White Wolf Deity’s former Divine Pact Maker.”

“Former Divine Pact Maker?”

Feng Yuan looked at Elder Li with suspicion, and sensing Feng Yuan’s doubtful gaze, Elder Li’s face couldn’t hide some embarrassment as he said discontentedly,

“What?

You think I’m lying?”

“The White Wolf Deity has not had a Divine Pact Maker so far, not even one.”

Agunas, standing beside them, also looked at Elder Li with a puzzled expression.

Hearing Agunas’s words, Elder Li looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise and said,

“Agunas can speak that quickly?”

“Yeah, its authority is a bit special, so it’s not too odd that it can speak now.

But as Agunas said, as far as I know, the White Wolf Deity indeed has never had a Divine Pact Maker.”

“But what about the situation at the research institute…”

“Are you sure everything you’ve said is correct?”

“The facts are as they are.”

Seeing Elder Li staring at him, Agunas said calmly.

Elder Li sighed and said,

“If that’s the case, I will report this situation to the research institute.

Oh, and after you finish assigning tasks, go rest at the competition site.

If they assign you to the night shift, come find me.”

“Got it~”

“Your situation is somewhat special…

let’s see…

like this, you patrol the venue with them and then switch shifts at twelve.

Tomorrow morning at six, patrol the venue with them once again.

When they start the opening ceremony, you go back and prepare for the competition.”

After arriving at Mount Mo’s special task force base, the person in charge pulled up Feng Yuan’s files and pondered before saying, glancing at the Spirit Beasts following behind Feng Yuan, the person in charge reminded,

“The competition doesn’t allow non-Beast Tamer contracted Spirit Beasts to participate, and even those with contracts can’t either.

You can temporarily bring the Spirit Beasts that can’t participate to me, I can take care of them a bit, but I’ll be very busy then and probably won’t have much energy to help you.”

“If you can, it’s best to ask a friend to help you take care of them.”

Scratching his head with a bright smile, Feng Yuan said,

“All my friends are competing…”

“I see…

then bring them over tomorrow, I’ll try my best to help you with them.”

“No need, I’ve already found someone to help me take care of them~”

“Xiao Liao?

That works, I remember his task is to patrol the audience area.

It’s a bit of a stretch, but it’s not impossible for him to look after your Spirit Beasts.”

Feng Yuan smiled and didn’t explain.

He took the work badge, hung it on himself, and started patrolling with the assigned team.

On the way, the young man who claimed to be Brother Zhao chuckled and said to Feng Yuan,

“Didn’t expect you to be a competitor too.

Want Brother Zhao to teach you how to stand out a bit?”

“No, I have my own way if I really want to stand out, but I think it’s enough just to compete honestly in the competition.”

“Hey, that won’t do.

I’m telling you, at that time everyone will use whatever means they can.

Those who act righteously might be more favored by our side’s judges, but the judges from the military favor the final outcome.

According to them, we only care about the result, and as long as you don’t cross the line during the process, it doesn’t matter what you do.”

“That’s pretty normal.

After all, the special task force is for maintaining internal order; if everyone did as they pleased, how could they maintain it?

As for the military, there’s no right or wrong when it comes to external affairs, winning is all that matters.”

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Brother Zhao laughed and said,

“That’s about the size of it, but it’s going to be tough to stand out among so many people if you don’t use some tricks.

After all, those little tricks can sometimes have quite an effect.”

“They can try, although I don’t care about the ranking, but if they manage to annoy me, it wouldn’t be odd for a bunch of Divine Beasts to come here on vacation, right~”

Feeling a chill down his spine as Feng Yuan put on an innocent face while saying this, Brother Zhao suddenly remembered that Feng Yuan was no kind soul and quickly said to him,

“No!

If Captain Yan found out, I’d be in trouble!”

Looking at Brother Zhao, Feng Yuan said somewhat amused,

“Why would Captain Yan come after you for what I do?”

“Because this kid usually doesn’t behave, and Captain Yan might suspect that he incited you to do it.”

Waving his hand, Feng Yuan said,

“He won’t, Captain Yan understands me very well.”
