Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

“Wang Shao, step back. We’ll handle this punk!”

Lei Sanli wasn’t a good person, but he understood the rules. Since he had taken Wang Yan’s money, it was only right to fulfill the request.

With a command from Lei Sanli, the members of the Black Tiger Guild began summoning their magical beasts.

These Beast Masters were all at least Three-Star, summoning beasts at the Mature level (Third Tier).

“Hey, kid, why are you standing there like a statue?”

“Are you too scared to even run away?”

Lei Sanli didn’t take Xiao Xingyu seriously, mocking him as he pleased.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the street outside the alley.

“President, this is bad! We’re being surrounded!”

Lei Sanli frowned impatiently. “Who dares to surround me? They must be seeking death!”

“Y-Yes…”

“Who is it?”

“It’s people from the Sky Horizon Guild!”

Upon hearing the name "Sky Horizon Guild," Lei Sanli's legs felt weak.

“Sky... Sky Horizon Guild?”

His first reaction was one of fear, highlighting the Sky Horizon Guild's status in Longyin City.

After all, the Sky Horizon Guild was the second-ranked Beast Master guild in the city.

Even the number one ranked Hurricane Guild wouldn’t dare to provoke them; they would choose negotiation over confrontation.

“President, Miss Qin is here!”

“Qin... Qin Yanran? My goodness!”

Lei Sanli’s black tiger tattoo seemed to lose its vigor, and he shrank back in fear.

At that moment, a tall woman clad in leather walked into the crowd, flanked by a formidable army of Beast Masters.

Each Beast Master bore the insignia of the Sky Horizon Guild.

Seeing her, Lei Sanli quickly put on a smiling face. “Miss Qin, what brings you here?”

Qin Yanran shot a cold glare at Lei Sanli. “If I hadn’t come, what were you planning to do to my dear brother?”

Lei Sanli looked bewildered. “Brother? Aren’t you the only child of President Qin? When did you get a brother?”

Qin Yanran stepped closer to Xiao Xingyu, her expression filled with concern. “Xingyu, are you hurt at all?”

“Big sister, you came just in time. I’m fine.”

At that moment, Lei Sanli felt like he had swallowed a bitter pill, unable to express his frustration.

“Xiao Xingyu is my god-brother, my family,” Qin Yanran declared, her voice authoritative.

“Anyone who bullies my brother is opposing me and the Sky Horizon Guild!”

Her words were powerful and commanding.

The Beast Masters behind her began summoning their beasts one after another, causing the alley’s walls to tremble under the weight of their presence.

In terms of overall strength, the Black Tiger Guild was nothing but ants in front of the Sky Horizon Guild.

Lei Sanli’s face turned pale with fear as he quickly bowed and apologized. “I’m sorry, Miss Qin! I had no idea Xiao Shao was your brother.”

“I promise I won’t provoke Xiao Shao in the future, and I’ll take the opportunity to invite him to dinner!”

All the members of the Black Tiger Guild followed Lei Sanli in bowing to Xiao Xingyu, sincerely apologizing.

At that moment, Wang Yan was utterly dumbfounded.

“Isn’t Xiao Xingyu’s sister Xiao Ruoxue?”

“Why is the daughter of the Sky Horizon Guild’s president also his sister?”

Qin Yanran noticed Wang Yan. “Who is this person, acting so arrogant?”

Lei Sanli replied, “Miss Qin, this guy paid us to bully your brother. His name is Wang Yan!”

Wang Yan’s heart sank, and he felt a tightening in his pants, the fear overwhelming him.

“Miss Qin, I-I didn’t mean to target Xiao Xingyu. I was just…”

Wang Yan stuttered, nearly on the verge of tears.

Qin Yanran turned her gaze to Lei Sanli. “What do you plan to do about this?”

Lei Sanli understood the gravity of the situation and patted his chest in assurance. “Miss Qin, don’t worry. The Black Tiger Guild will give you a satisfactory answer!”

He then grabbed Wang Yan by the collar, lifting him effortlessly like a chick.

“President Lei, what are you doing? Cough, cough…”

Wang Yan dangled in midair, his face red and urine trickling down his legs, making for a pathetic sight.

“You dare to bully Xiao Shao? I’m going to teach you a lesson!”

“It was me who paid you! I’m your employer. How can you treat me this way?”

“Enough chatter! Brothers, attack!”

Wang Yan was overwhelmed by the crowd, receiving a beating that left him screaming and crying.

As he rolled on the ground, bruised and covered in urine, Xiao Xingyu wore a devilish grin.

“Wang Yan, you look more pitiful than a sketch from a Spring Festival Gala after getting beaten up.”

“Xiao Grandpa, I was wrong! I’m sorry, please spare me!” 

In stark contrast to his earlier arrogance, Wang Yan was now a picture of disgrace.

Xiao Xingyu wouldn't waste time on a clown, pulling Qin Yanran's hand as they exited the alley.

“Thank you this time, Yanran Jie.”

“Don’t mention it! You’re my brother, after all—no blood relation but closer than siblings!”

Qin Yanran was overflowing with affection for Xiao Xingyu, pulling him into an embrace to express her fondness.

*Cough cough,* “Yanran Jie, could you let go? I'm running out of breath~”

Xiao Xingyu found himself buried in a sea of softness as he was hugged, and he couldn’t help but feel a rush of blood to his head.

It had to be said, Qin Yanran’s figure was quite impressive, her curves could only be described as breathtaking.

This was the significance of connections.

Xiao Xingyu was just a novice Beast Master at the moment; when he encountered problems he couldn’t solve alone, he had to rely on his network to resolve them.

With Qin Yanran as his god-sister, Xiao Xingyu had a solid foothold in Longyin City.

After all, Qin Yanran represented not just herself but the entire Sky Horizon Guild.

“Now that school is over, have you had dinner yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Let’s go! Sister will treat you to a feast! I know a great restaurant…”

Qin Yanran wrapped her arm around Xiao Xingyu’s as they walked, chatting excitedly.

Xiao Xingyu felt a bit awkward. “Yanran Jie, my sister is coming to the school to bring me a bento box soon, so…”

“Just spend today with me! You can have your sister’s homemade food every day from now on; it won’t hurt to miss one day!”

Having just been helped by Qin Yanran, Xiao Xingyu found it difficult to refuse. Half-heartedly, he allowed himself to be led away by her.

**Five minutes later.**

Xiao Ruoxue arrived at the entrance of Qinglong Academy, holding a lunchbox.

She was accompanied by a cute girl wearing a mask.

This adorable girl was Ye Shimo, who had disguised herself with a mask and a cap to avoid being recognized.

“Ruoxue Jie, where’s my brother?”

“Xiao Yu said he would be waiting for me at the entrance, but I can’t see him anywhere, and he’s not answering his phone…”

At that moment, Xiao Ruoxue overheard some students passing by.

“Hey, bro, let’s gossip for a bit.”

“I just saw Class 3’s Xiao Xingyu being taken away by a stunning beauty; they looked really close.”

“I know that beauty! She’s Qin Yanran, the daughter of the Sky Horizon Guild’s president!”

“Wow, what’s going on between Xiao Xingyu and Qin Yanran? They can’t be a couple, right?”

“It seems not. I heard Xiao Xingyu calling her Yanran Jie…”

After listening to the gossip, Ye Shimo suddenly felt the temperature around them drop to freezing point, and she shuddered.

“Ruoxue Jie, your expression right now is scarier than a Beast Emperor-level magical beast!”

A jealous woman is always one of the most terrifying creatures in the world.
