Plop!
The menu fell onto the table, interrupting Ma Hongjun's whining. Dai Mubai laughed and scolded:
"Fatso, stop complaining and order quickly—you're the best at eating anyway."
"Hehe. So today, are you treating us? You're loaded, after all."
Ma Hongjun chuckled oddly.
Judging by all his fat, it was obvious he cared most about food and women—he was an expert at ordering dishes.
Dai Mubai smiled effortlessly.
"No problem. It's fate that we could gather here. I'm the eldest, so consider today's meal a welcome feast for Tang San and the others."
"Ha ha."
Ma Hongjun couldn't help laughing. His jiggling cheeks trembled.
"Great, excellent.""Dai Leader, don't worry. I won't let you skimp."
…
Soon, the fat guy called over a waiter and quickly ordered a dozen dishes,his face full of glee.
"Not bad, not bad. This place isn't big, but it has a good variety. Hope the taste won't disappoint Fat Grandpa me."
The eight of them sat around a table, the atmosphere relatively harmonious.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who always had a cold expression, was pulled into conversation with Xiao Wu by Ning Rongrong, though her interest was low.
Ma Hongjun and the others chatted and laughed,while Ye Qiu occasionally added a word or two.
He had also activated his infrared detection,wanting to know whether Tang Hao had come along.
If not, things would be much easier to handle.
"Huh?"
Ye Qiu's gaze sharpened.
At the shop entrance, a team of Soul Masters of similar scale to Ye Qiu's group suddenly appeared.
Eight in total.
Leading them was a middle-aged man, followed by seven young adults, six men and one woman, around twenty years old.
They wore matching moon-white Soul Master robes,embroidered with silver thread patterns that shimmered with light as they moved,shoulders marked with green circular insignias, inscribed with the characters "Canghui."
Compared to Ye Qiu's group, whose outfits were varied and modest,they appeared ostentatious, immediately drawing attention from the diners.
The shop owner rushed over to greet them.
Ma Hongjun's beady eyes scanned the female Soul Master in their team.His eyes glinted lecherously, and he nudged Dai Mubai.
"Look, Dai Leader! That girl isn't bad—check that waist, those legs! Truly a prime piece!"
What Ma Hongjun said was utterly vulgar.
Not only did the Canghui female glare at him,but Xiao Wu and the others frowned in disapproval.
All the way, Dai Mubai had tried to get close to Zhu Zhuqing,but it was like hot faces meeting cold backs.Irritated, he glanced at the "prime piece" in the fat guy's eyes with disdain.
"Hmph, making a fuss. I've seen plenty like this. Fatso, your taste needs work."
Neither Ma Hongjun nor Dai Mubai made any effort to lower their voices.Soul Masters naturally had enhanced hearing.
One young man from Canghui glared at Dai Mubai's group, scolding:"Kid, watch your mouth, or trouble will come from your tongue."
"Heh."
Dai Mubai laughed coldly, even more brazen.
"It's just a tiny Canghui Academy, showing off for what!"
Despite the restaurant's noise, Dai Mubai's voice carried far.
The middle-aged leader of the Canghui team instantly looked over.
Ye Qiu recognized him.Seems his name was Ye Zhiqiu.
At that moment, Ye Zhiqiu frowned.Seeing that the offenders were just two kids, his expression was awkward.He didn't act rashly, instead beckoning his students to sit down.
Oscar sat beside Tang San, his peach blossom eyes full of mischief.
"Hehe… looks like a good show."
Hearing this, Tang San had yet to respond.Xiao Wu's eyes flashed with curiosity and delight.
"Where? What show?"
Oscar smiled and explained quietly to Tang San and the others:"Our Dean once said, a Soul Master who doesn't dare to provoke is not a true Soul Master; those who avoid trouble are mediocre."
"Oh?"
Tang San was slightly surprised, chuckling.He couldn't help praising:"The Dean actually said something wise. No wonder he founded such an extraordinary academy."
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow,somewhat surprised at Tang San.Could it be that he had been possessed again?
In his impression,the Xuantian Treasure Record always advised Tang Sect disciples to avoid unnecessary trouble.Had Tang San ignored that… or was Shrek Academy really that toxic,with such strong influence?
Ning Rongrong sat beside Xiao Wu.Her beautiful blue eyes showed confusion, blinking dumbfoundedly.
She grew angrier.Apparently, Shrek Academy was targeting her.
She was just a little arrogant, unconventional, and pampered,and they wanted to suppress her.Now, outside the academy, each of them caused trouble more brazenly than she ever would—dogs barking, yet no ivory comes out of their mouths!
"Hmph!"
The more Ning Rongrong thought, the angrier she became.She glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside her.
Under Zhu Zhuqing's puzzled look, Ning Rongrong leaned in, whispering like close friends do:
"Zhuqing, I'm telling you—you must not accept Dai Mubai's pursuit.A man like that is no good. No real skills, yet arrogant. Proud of causing trouble, life will never be peaceful. Cannot control his lower desires; there will be women outside. Likely to hit women—domestic violence for sure!In the Douhun Arena, thirty-seven lost to thirty-five, Silver Spear Wax Head—looks good, but useless.If any blind woman follows him, I'll laugh at her forever."
After speaking a pile of hard truths,Ning Rongrong felt much better.
Holding Zhu Zhuqing's arm, her gaze accidentally fell on the pair of surging waves,her mood complicated again.She glared fiercely at Ye Qiu.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't notice Ning Rongrong's odd behavior.
Regarding Ning Rongrong's words,she neither wanted nor could refute them.
Everything was plain to see—Dai Mubai was indeed unreliable.Even now, she saw no hope.
Zhu Zhuqing coldly glanced at Dai Mubai, ignoring the surrounding noise.Liyu leaned closer to Ning Rongrong, wanting to chat and ask how Ye Qiu helped her train.
Seeing the Canghui team silent,Dai Mubai grew more audacious.
Ye Qiu chuckled lightly:"The Soul Hunt is imminent. Best not to stir trouble."
Oscar laughed softly."Ye Qiu, don't worry. Provoking the academy's Soul Masters is the safest—at most a fight.No problem, I'll take responsibility!"
Dai Mubai, already worked up, glanced at Ye Qiu disdainfully, continuing as he pleased.He sneered and even deliberately raised his voice:
"Hah, what a bunch of spineless weaklings!"
