Chapter 59: Zhu Zhuqing's Relief
🕑 Added 2025-03-08 11:43:31 +0000 UTCYe Cheng led Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing into the town and found that it was more lively than they had imagined. The town was much larger than ordinary villages and towns. Except for the lack of city walls, it was like a small city with shops lining the streets, selling all kinds of shops.
The main business scope of the shops here are all related to soul masters. For example, some specialize in selling weapons, armor, detoxification and recovery potions, and even clothes. They all sell special clothing with more than a dozen pockets that can hold a lot of sundries and are suitable for soul masters to use on adventures.
As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.
Such a small town obviously relies on the Star Dou Great Forest for its survival, and there are definitely quite a few such towns around the Star Dou Great Forest.
After walking for a while, Ye Cheng found a very ordinary hotel in front of him, so he said, “Let’s stay here. Rest for a night, and then buy some supplies for camping in the wilderness tomorrow. After we are fully prepared, we will enter the Star Dou Great Forest.”
“yes.”
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing responded obediently.
In such a wilderness town, the hotel certainly couldn’t compare with those high-end hotels in the city, but the two women were not picky, and compared to sleeping in the wilderness, it was good to have a hotel to stay in.
The hotel is a two-story building. The lobby on the first floor is a simple restaurant, and the second floor is used for accommodation. Ye Cheng booked a single room for himself, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing booked a double room. They can stay together at night to take care of each other.
After opening the room.
Ye Cheng brought the two girls to the restaurant on the first floor to eat. He randomly chose a corner, picked up the menu and started ordering.
After ordering, the next step is to wait for the food to be served.
After a while, a noisy sound suddenly came.
The three of them looked carefully and found that it was an acquaintance.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, the four remaining students of Shrek Academy, appeared at the door of the hotel, talking and laughing as they walked in. The leader was Zhao Wuji. There were five of them.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing frowned subconsciously when they saw these people. It was obvious that they had no good feelings towards the people of Shrek. After all, this school was just like a place that specialized in training hooligans. The school motto and school rules were even more bizarre.
At this time, the three of them were sitting in a corner, and there were several tables of people around them, so they were not very conspicuous. After the Shrek people walked in, they did not notice Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing sitting in the corner.
After they checked in, they sat down at the same table in the restaurant, ordered their food, and started chatting with laughter. The noise was very loud, which was particularly disturbing.
“Do you know those people?” Ye Cheng asked knowingly.
“Brother, let me tell you…” Ning Rongrong immediately began to exaggerate how rubbish this Shrek Academy was, how she was bullied and how much she was wronged in this academy, and so on.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing by, was so moved that her eyebrows twitched when she heard this. She felt that she had seen another side of Ning Rongrong.
Although Shrek Academy is not good, she thinks it is not as bad as Ning Rongrong said, right?
But soon, a scene that happened at Shrek made Zhu Zhuqing completely change her mind.
Suddenly, another group of people walked in from the restaurant’s door. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was handsome, with very shiny hair. He was wearing a moon-white soul master robe that was very exquisite. It was embroidered with silver threads and sparkled with light when he moved.
Following behind the middle-aged man were seven young people, six men and one woman, all of whom looked to be around twenty years old. They wore the same moon-white soul master robes, with two characters of the same color embroidered on them: Canghui.
From their uniform attire, it can be seen that these people are obviously spirit masters. Tang San and his group are dressed very mediocrely and look no different from ordinary people, but these people are much more gorgeous.
As a result, the restaurant owner hurriedly greeted them as soon as they came in, nodding and bowing in an indescribable politeness. After all, this town relies on the Star Dou Great Forest for its livelihood, in short, it relies on soul masters for its livelihood. Soul masters are not only a noble profession, but also a lucrative profession, so the owner naturally dared not neglect them.
“That girl is pretty, Boss Dai, these guys should be from Canghui College.” Fatty Ma Hongjun stared at the only girl in the team of eight people with his small eyes. She looked like a typical pig brother, and she looked like she was almost drooling.
Dai Mubai on the side curled his lips and said, “It’s just a small Canghui Academy. What a show-off.”
Neither Ma Hongjun nor Dai Mubai lowered their voices on purpose. Soul masters’ hearing is naturally better than normal people’s. Although the restaurant was a bit noisy, the middle-aged man among the eight people still cast his gaze over with a frown. When he saw that the table of people from Shrek Academy was just a group of children, his expression suddenly became even uglier.
Oscar sat beside Tang San and said with a low laugh: “It’s going to be a good show to watch.”
Tang San looked at him with some doubt, “What’s the show?”
Oscar whispered, “This is also part of our practice. Have you forgotten? Dean Flanders said that a soul master who doesn’t dare to cause trouble is not a good soul master. As the saying goes, those who don’t dare to cause trouble are mediocre. Moreover, it is safest to provoke people from the Soul Master Academy. At most, it will just be a fight.”
Tang San couldn’t help laughing, “Our dean’s quotations can be added together to form a monster quotations. Judging from their ages, this Canghui Academy should be a high-level spirit master academy.”
The eight people from Canghui Academy had also sat down at this time, two tables away from Shrek’s side. Tang San saw from the corner of his eye that the middle-aged man who was obviously a teacher whispered twice in the ear of a young man. Soon, the young man stood up from his seat and walked towards Tang San and his table. According to the route he walked, he was heading towards Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai’s eyes revealed a hint of disdain, Tang San could see it, he certainly knew it, but he didn’t even look at the other person.
At this time, the waiter just brought the first dish to their table. The young man from Canghui College suddenly quickened his pace, and amid the waiter’s exclamation, he bumped into the waiter, and watched the dish fall on Dai Mubai’s head.
“Don’t waste food.” Tang San, who was well prepared, stretched out his left hand like lightning to steady the waiter’s body, and stretched out his right hand to hold the plate. He used his power to control the crane and capture the dragon, and managed to hold the dish without spilling any, and placed the plate lightly on the table.
The young man from Canghui College was stunned for a moment. Because of the waiter’s body blocking his view, he did not see Tang San’s movements clearly. However, a sly smile soon appeared on his face, “I’m so sorry.”
He said this as he continued to walk forward, seemingly about to pass by Dai Mubai, but one of his feet quietly swept across and kicked directly at a chair leg under Dai Mubai’s crotch. It was just an ordinary wooden chair, and once a leg was kicked off, Dai Mubai would naturally not be able to sit still.
Moreover, the young man’s kicking movements were very concealed, and his upper body did not move. If you were not paying special attention, you would not be able to detect his movements at all.
At the same time as the young man kicked out, Dai Mubai moved. He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and Zhu Zhuqing suddenly left without saying goodbye, which made him feel angry for a long time. Facing the other party’s “provocation”, how could he let go of such an opportunity?
With a dull thud, the young man from Canghui College felt as if he had kicked on an iron plate. His entire calf was numb from the shock. Immediately afterwards, Dai Mubai slapped him in the face.
The young man's face changed drastically and he raised his hands to hold Dai Mubai’s hands, but who knew that his hands were completely shaken away by the soul power attached to Dai Mubai’s palms, and that palm still hit his chest firmly.
The young man was quite tall, but he was thrown into the air by Dai Mubai’s palm, knocking over two tables in succession and flying towards a group of people from Canghui College.
The middle-aged man from Canghui College stood up hurriedly, raised his hands, grabbed the young man’s shoulders and brought him down. The young man’s face turned pale, and he screamed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body became much weaker.
Dai Mubai straightened his body, and using the same movement as before to strike out, he stretched out his palm and said, “I’m so sorry, I missed.” The true nature of the evil-eyed lustful tiger was revealed, with disdain and contempt on his face, and a strong arrogance. Not to mention outsiders, even his own people like Tang San felt that he deserved a beating when looking at him.
In the corner, Zhu Zhuqing, who had witnessed the whole process of Shrek’s provocation, could not help but shake her head. She was extremely glad that she had left this academy early, otherwise, if she stayed in such an academy for a long time with this group of people, she would probably be affected and become the mean look that Dai Mubai is now.
