Chapter 1030: Chapter 813: Coordination Competition (Two-in-One)_2
Little Xunbao floated directly toward the item that caught its interest and picked it up, trying it on for itself.
Qiao Sang did a quick sweep around the area and soon spotted the section selling cloaks.
She picked up a black cloak made of silk and waved it toward Little Xunbao: âCome here.â
âXun Xun~â Little Xunbaoâs eyes lit up at the sight of the item in its Beast Tamerâs hand, and it instantly teleported over.
Qiao Sang removed the black towel draped on Little Xunbaoâs back and helped it put on the black cloak. Admiring it for a moment, she nodded with satisfaction: âGo take a look in the mirror and see if you like it.â
âXun Xun~â
Little Xunbao called out once, then teleported in front of the full-length mirror.
When it saw its reflection, a delighted expression instantly appeared on its face. It began spinning left and right, admiring itself from every angle.
âI noticed Ice Aipa doesnât have anything on. Shouldnât we get something for it?â Marlal leaned closer and asked.
Qiao Sang replied helplessly, âIt doesnât like this kind of stuff.â
Hearing that, Marlal didnât press further.
After paying, the two stepped toward the end of the queue.
Suddenly, Marlal seemed to receive a phone call. Picking up, she answered: âYes, Iâm at the entrance of the Coordination Arena.â
To avoid hearing anything she wasnât supposed to, Qiao Sang automatically tuned out the nearby sound.
About half a minute later, the call ended, and Marlal turned around, her face filled with excitement as she said, âWe donât have to wait in line! Sili, the Dean, is here as a judge today, and sheâs sending someone to pick us up.â
Coordination Academy, Dean Sili Hayek⊠Qiao Sang couldnât help but recall her past encounters with Dean Sili.
âHow about it? Want to watch a Coordination Competition? You might enjoy it with your Pet Beast.â
Coordination CompetitionâŠ
Invitation letterâŠ
Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something. She turned to Little Xunbao: âThe invitation letter I gave you last time, itâs the champagne-colored one that looks like an envelope. Take it out and let me see.â
âXun Xun~â
Little Xunbao removed its circular ring, stuck its head inside to rummage, then popped back out and shook its head.
âItâs not there.â
Qiao Sang paused for a moment: âTake off your sunglasses and look again.â
âXun XunâŠâ
Little Xunbao removed its sunglasses and once again stuck its head into the ring.
After about ten seconds, it pulled out the champagne-colored invitation letter and emerged with it.
Qiao Sang took the letter, unfolded it, and looked at the details.
Sure enough, the location and time matched todayâs.
âWas this given to you by Dean Sili?â Marlal leaned in for a look at the contents of the letter and asked in surprise.
Qiao Sang glanced at her and asked back, âSo, was it Dean Sili who asked you to bring me here?â
Marlalâs face froze instantly.
âThereâs no need to hide it now, Iâm already here anyway,â Qiao Sang said.
âYouâre right.â Marlal sighed and dropped the pretense: âDean Sili wanted you to watch this Coordination Competition but thought you might not come, so she offered me this as my task reward.â
She paused for a moment, then said earnestly, âThe Coordination Competition is truly spectacular. Youâll absolutely enjoy it, and watching it live feels completely different from watching it on TV.â
Who would have thought that the renowned Dean of the Coordination Academy would go to such lengths to recruit me? It seems I truly have impressive talent in coordination⊠Qiao Sang silently affirmed herself. She was just about to say sheâd already decided to return to Blue Star at the end of the semester.
Just then, a staff member dressed in a white uniform ran over and asked:
âExcuse me, are you Miss Qiao Sang and Miss Marlal?â
âYes, thatâs us,â Marlal nodded in reply.
âDean Sili sent me here,â the staffer said respectfully. âIâll escort you inside now.â
With that, he began leading the way.
Following the staff member, they arrived at another entrance and smoothly entered the Coordination Arena.
âDean Sili is waiting for you on the third floor,â the staff member said while stepping onto the spiral elevator.
Marlal appeared slightly nervous and exhaled slowly.
âWhat are you nervous about?â Qiao Sang noticed her emotions and asked.
âThis is Dean Sili Hayek weâre talking about,â Marlal replied with reverence in her voice. âSince the start of the term, Iâve only met her less than three times.â
âI thought the two of you were close,â Qiao Sang said, a bit surprised.
Marlal smiled and glanced at her: âThanks to you, I got Dean Siliâs contact info and have been exchanging messages with her for quite a while.â
As she spoke, Marlal placed a hand on Qiao Sangâs shoulder, full of camaraderie: âSo, once todayâs Coordination Competition ends and we continue Flame Kiruâs Wave of Peace resistance training, Iâll still help out until you donât need me anymore.â
Qiao Sang smiled: âWell then, thank you.â
While she currently didnât have much confidence in Yaobao developing resistance to the Wave of Peace, it didnât mean sheâd given up on the training. After all, it might turn out like Gangbaoâs initial struggles learning Doppelgangerâfailure in the beginning, but a breakthrough later on was always possible.
