The crowd immediately got addicted to playing with the cards.
Soon, everyone was playing it in the hot pot restaurant.
“Three and two, three Small White Fish and two Small White Shrimp.”
“Three Large Yellow Croakers and two Small White Shrimp.”
“Crush you to death, three Blade Fish and two Green Turtles.”
“A bomb, four Tentacles Lobsters.”
“Hurry up! My tummy is making a noise.”
…
Han Fei was very satisfied with his commercial promotion. When he returned to his table, the others were already playing cards. Han Fei took a glance. Xia Xiaochan had lousy cards, the best one being a Snakebelt.
Han Fei wondered, “Where is Zhang Xuanyu?”
Xia Xiaochan pouted her lips as a signal. “Above.”
Han Fei looked up, only to find that this bastard was sitting with a crowd of little girls on a table. Now he was surrounded by girls and some of them even tried to sit on his lap.
Han Fei shivered. Shameless! How can a person be so shameless?!
Suddenly, Xia Xiaochan said angrily to Han Fei, “Han Fei, you are too much. Why didn’t you introduce this to us earlier?! Humph!”
Han Fei: “???”
Le Renkuang echoed her, “Indeed. You should have shared these with us earlier.”
Han Fei said plainly, “All play and no work is unproductive. We need focus.”
He Xiaoyu drew nearer. “Han Fei, how did you train in the Fourth Academy? Very hard, right? So your strength could improve so fast?”
As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Xiaochan.
Xia Xiaochan played the card and said, “We don’t have regular training! We just practice, practice, and practice, and then we became great fishing masters. Zhang Xuanyu is too lazy to practice, so he is only a peak-level fishing master.”
He Xiaoyu: “???”
Le Renkuang smiled awkwardly. “Xia Xiaochan means to practice hard and slash as many people as possible. As long as you slash enough people, you will surely become a great fishing master.”
Xia Xiaochan gnashed her teeth. “Kuangkuang…”
He Xiaoyu: “…”
Han Fei scoffed. “Don’t believe their bullshit. They practiced very hard.”
He Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief. That’s right. Who can easily become a great fishing master?
He Xiaoyu whispered to Han Fei, “I’m already an intermediate fishing master.”
Han Fei was surprised. “Then you are making rapid progress!”
He Xiaoyu complained, “Who knows, you became a great fishing master so quickly!”
Wang Baiyu suddenly asked, “Will the Thug Academy enroll students this year? If you really accomplish a 100-game winning streak, there will be a lot of people desperate to enter your school.”
After Han Fei went to the Fourth Academy, Wang Baiyu went to check the history of the Fourth Academy. Then he was taken aback. If he could, he also wanted to be a student there.
Xia Xiaochan paused and looked at Luo Xiaobai. “It seems… Not so easy to enter!”
Wang Baiyu raised his eyebrows. “Why do you say that?”
Xia Xiaochan pointed at Han Fei. “You can ask Han Fei. How did he get admitted?”
The others all looked at Han Fei, and the latter scratched his belly and said, “I was required to hold up for three minutes under the attacks of the four of them.”
“Wow…”
Xia Wushuang, Xiang Nan, and Jia Tong couldn’t help but tremble. Seriously? For three minutes?!
Wang Baiyu and He Xiaoyu were stunned. What? Are you talking about Xia Xiaochan and the other three? Are you kidding me? Of the 10 teams today, how many had held up for 3 minutes? And they were complete teams!
“Gulp!”
Xia Wushuang asked, “Han Fei, how long did you last?”
Han Fei paused. “Not long. I barely passed it. You know, I have a sturdy body.”
Le Renkuang interjected, “Liar, you held up for nearly fifteen minutes until you were stopped by the teacher in the end.”
Han Fei shot back, “At that time, you didn’t use your full strength!”
“Gosh…”
Xia Wushuang was pouting. “He hurt my confidence. Can I change the table? I want to learn how to pick up girls with Zhang Xuanyu.”
Jia Tong shook his head. “First of all, you have to look as handsome as him.”
Xiang Nan: “…”
Xia Xiaochan secretly glanced at Han Fei without a word. But she knew that if a person jumped from one circle to another, it was difficult for him to go back.
At this time, someone over there exclaimed, “Wow! What kind of food is this? How can it have such a magical taste?”
“Oh, I haven’t eaten yet, and I’m already drooling smelling the fragrance.”
Someone shouted at Han Fei, “Han Fei, what is this?”
Han Fei responded loudly, “Hot pot, making The Fish Dragon’s hot pot is a unique culinary skill of The Fish Dragons.”
“Shit, it’s damn delicious.”
Someone tasted it and almost bit his tongue off.
Le Renkuang swallowed hard. “Haha, we eat it every day…”
These people came to see their idols. To their disappointment, Xia Xiaochan claimed to be in love with Han Fei and Luo Xiaobai didn’t even look at them! And the bastard Zhang Xuanyu turned out to be such a playboy.
Fortunately, they didn’t come in vain. This hot pot was really delicious! It could be said that it was the most delicious dish they had ever eaten in their lives, and it made up for their lovelorn sorrows.
…
Having dined and wined to satiety, Han Fei said goodbye to He Xiaoyu and the others.
He Xiaoyu asked, “Han Fei, can I go to the Fourth Academy to visit you?”
Before Han Fei responded, Luo Xiaobai said, “No.”
He Xiaoyu frowned. “Why?”
Luo Xiaobai said indifferently, “If you can be admitted, you’re welcome. But if you come to play, it will affect our cultivation. Besides, the Thug Academy is not a place that anyone can enter. Han Fei doesn’t have the say.”
Han Fei scratched his belly, embarrassed. “He Xiaoyu, I’ll go find you later. Our school is really a special place.”
He Xiaoyu pouted. “OK…”
…
Watching Han Fei leave, He Xiaoyu stomped hard. “Humph! Yes, she is strong! But why did she look down upon others?”
Wang Baiyu said calmly, “She didn’t look down on anyone. This Luo Xiaobai is a very sensible person. There must be reasons for her refusing you. Maybe it’s because of their way of cultivation or some other reasons.”
Xiang Nan said with a sigh, “Xiaoyu, in fact, I suddenly felt that the gap between us and Han Fei grew bigger. Of the five people, the weakest one was Zhang Xuanyu, right? But, he could still beat a great fishing master although he is only a peak-level fishing master… As for the others, Xia Xiaochan solved his opponents almost in an instant. That fatty… Wang Baiyu, you are an armorist. What do you think of him…”
Wang Baiyu sighed. “I’m no match for him. I don’t think any junior great fishing master can resist his Torrents of Knives and Swords.”
Xia Wushuang also shook his head. “Yes! Needless to say, Luo Xiaobai is very strong. Not everyone can be the captain. There must be a reason for her to be the captain.”
Chen Qing reminded them, “Don’t forget, how did Han Fei survive the claw of the Purple-Tailed Scorpion King and kill it?”
Everyone was silent.
He Xiaoyu anxiously said, “But, even if they are all geniuses, so what? Is it necessary for Han Fei to alienate his old friends?”
Wang Baiyu smiled. “Han Fei did not alienate you, but his current circle, we can’t jump in for the time being. If I’ve guessed correctly, the five of them are conducting an extremely important test or trial. A hundred-game winning streak in the arena is only their first goal. I don’t know what they are doing, but this test must be very difficult. So, they need to cultivate. And if they need to cultivate, they can’t waste much time on other things. Do you understand?”
He Xiaoyu’s eyes dimmed. “… I’m going back to school.”
…
On this side, Luo Xiaobai said indifferently, “Not one of them can be admitted to our school.”
Han Fei said unhappily, “Don’t treat everyone as a monster, okay? He Heyu also has an exotic spiritual beast, a Cardinal.”
Xia Xiaochan tilted her head. “Han Fei, did you teach her something?”
“Huh?”
Xia Xiaochan said slyly, “I can see that her posture, strength of limbs, and points of balance when she is walking are a bit weird, kind of like your Incomplete Monograph on 108 Ways of Body Polishing.”
Han Fei was surprised. “You even noticed that?”
Xia Xiaochan chuckled. “It seems that this little girl is special to you!”
Han Fei scratched his belly. “When I was in the village, He Xiaoyu was one of the two who treated me nicely in the school.”
Zhang Xuanyu hugged Han Fei’s neck. “So, just like me, you are also a friend of loneliness?”
Han Fei turned black. “F*ck off! I am not like you.”
Luo Xiaobai still said indifferently, “Even so, she is not qualified. I admit that the Incomplete Monograph on 108 Ways of Body Polishing is very powerful, but it’s relative, especially after we learned our trump-card combat skills.”
Han Fei frowned. “Don’t judge a person merely on strength.”
Han Fei was a little unhappy but he also sighed in his heart. Since he met Luo Xiaobai and the others, he knew that this world had a lot of geniuses.
Would he still be like an ordinary person in the future?
