After finding a hotel, Yang Yuan and the driver, Old Zhang, found a seat in the first-floor restaurant and called a waiter to order several signature dishes.
Old Zhang was assigned to Yang Yuan by Qian Renxue to help him drive the carriage.
Don't be fooled by him being just a driver; in reality, he was a rank forty-four attack systemBattle Spirit Ancestor.
Just as the two were preparing to eat, the Shrek Group walked in ostentatiously.
The little Fatty, Ma Hongjun, walked at the front with a Divine Qi, and soon led the others to a table adjacent to Yang Yuan's.
After sitting down, Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai beside him with a sly expression.
"Boss Dai, you promised earlier that this meal is on you."
Dai Mubai glanced at him and gave a cold snort.
"Cut the crap. If I said I'm paying, then I'm paying. Are you afraid I'll go back on my word?"
"As expected of Boss Dai, so generous."
"Don't worry, I'll save you some money."
Ma Hongjun laughed heartily, the two wisps of mustache on his upper lip twitching along with him, his eyes glinting with craftiness.
He then called the waiter over and ordered a bunch of things at random, directly ordering over a dozen dishes.
In the group, Tang San waved his hand to stop Ma Hongjun, who wanted to keep ordering.
"That's enough, Fatty. Let's leave it at that; don't make Boss Dai spend too much."
Ma Hongjun waved his hand dismissively and said with a boastful face, "Little San, you underestimate Boss Dai's financial power."
"What does this bit of money matter? You don't know, back in Suotuo City, Boss Dai took me and Little Ao out to visit brothels..."
"Ahem!"
Before Ma Hongjun could finish, Dai Mubai's expression changed, and he interrupted him with a heavy cough, his gaze guiltily shifting toward a well-endowed, cold woman dressed in black.
The latter ignored Dai Mubai's gaze and gave a cold snort.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai immediately glared at Ma Hongjun.
The latter, realizing he had caused trouble, sheepishly shrunk his head back.
At this moment, Oscar immediately stepped in to smooth things over, looking at the table where Yang Yuan was and whispering to them.
"Look, isn't the person at that table the driver from that carriage earlier?"
As soon as he spoke, everyone's attention was indeed drawn to Old Zhang, and they turned their gazes over.
"It really is him. I didn't expect them to be eating here too."
"The person next to him must be the one who was inside the carriage, right?"
"I didn't expect him to actually sit and eat with a driver. Isn't he afraid of lowering his status?" A flash of contempt crossed Dai Mubai's eyes.
As the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, although Dai Mubai had fled thousands of miles to Shrek Academy to avoid his brother Dai Weisi,
his pride as a prince had not diminished in the slightest. He looked down upon ordinary people.
It was only because Oscar and Ma Hongjun were exceptionally talented; otherwise, with his status, why would he take them out to solicit prostitutes every few days?
In his view, Yang Yuan eating with his own driver was completely degrading his own status.
In the group, Tang San's gaze did not linger on Old Zhang, but instead looked at Yang Yuan.
Compared to years ago, both Yang Yuan's appearance and temperament had undergone earth-shattering changes.
This prevented Tang San from recognizing Yang Yuan immediately, yet he still felt a sense of familiarity.
Coincidentally at this time, Yang Yuan felt something and cast his gaze over as well.
The two made eye contact.
Looking at Yang Yuan's pair of deep, abyss-like Heavy Pupils, Tang San's entire body trembled.
That... those are... this pair of Heavy Pupils gave him a completely different feeling than Dai Mubai's; this pair filled him with a sense of oppression.
(At first, the author also thought Dai Mubai only had heterochromia, but after re-reading, found he indeed has Heavy Pupils.)
After a brief moment of eye contact, both withdrew their gazes.
Tang San was startled, suspecting that this unrealistically handsome youth before him was the Yang Yuan from six years ago.
But the latter had changed too much, to the point that he couldn't be certain of his identity for the moment.
After all, Dai Mubai's appearance had already shown Tang San that Yang Yuan wasn't the only Heavy Pupils User in the world.
Yang Yuan naturally recognized Tang San and Xiao Wu as well.
Six years had passed, and the two hadn't changed much.
Tang San was dressed in blue martial attire and had an ordinary appearance, though his eyes revealed a hint of sharpness.
Xiao Wu was dressed in pink clothes and pants. Although her figure was modest, her face was pretty, yet it also revealed an undeniable hint of being unruly.
This matched the image of the two in Yang Yuan's memory.
Tang San pulled Xiao Wu over and whispered his discovery.
Xiao Wu's small mouth hung open in surprise as she suddenly looked at Yang Yuan, her thoughts drifting back to six years ago.
Remembering how she had been beaten black and blue by Yang Yuan six years ago, she unconsciously began to grind her teeth in anger.
Although Yang Yuan had changed significantly, the more Xiao Wu looked, the more she felt this incredibly handsome fellow was slowly merging with that figure in her memory.
"Hmph, if it really is him, then it's the perfect time to find him and wash away my previous humiliation."
Xiao Wu muttered under her breath, still unable to let go of the matter of being pummeled by Yang Yuan back then.
Among the Shrek Group, only Zhu Zhuqing noticed the anomaly between the two.
The others were attracted by another group that had just walked into the restaurant.
This group consisted of eight people, led by a middle-aged man in his forties.
Behind the middle-aged man were seven people—six men and one woman.
All seven wore uniform moon-white clothing, with the two characters for 'Canghui' embroidered in green on their shoulders.
After seeing the eight people walk in, the two wisps of mustache on Ma Hongjun's upper lip moved, a lewd smile appearing on his fat face as his beady little eyes stared intently at the only woman in the Canghui Academy group.
Although this woman's appearance could only be considered above average, at seventeen or eighteen years old, she had already developed into a mature and pretty figure on the Douluo Continent, making Ma Hongjun drool and feel a fire rising in his heart.
After staring at the Canghui woman for a while, he didn't forget to pull Dai Mubai and Oscar in with him.
"Boss Dai, Little Ao, look at that chick. What do you think?"
Oscar also gazed at the Canghui woman without hesitation.
After looking, he chuckled and commented, "Indeed not bad. Fatty, you have good eyes."
"By the way, they're from Canghui Academy, right?"
This time, Shrek Academy was missing Ning Rongrong, and the two beauties Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were already 'taken,' so Oscar was much more open than in the original work, making no effort to hide his nature.
After hearing the two's conversation, Dai Mubai swept a disdainful glance over the Canghui group.
Seeing them wearing uniform school uniforms, he curled his lip.
"It's just a mere Canghui Academy. Flaunting themselves like this, what the hell are they showing off for? I could beat all of them by myself."
Oscar and Ma Hongjun immediately flattered him.
"Boss Dai is right, these guys are nothing in front of you!"
With the hearing of Spirit Masters, the Canghui Academy group naturally heard such mockery, and their brows couldn't help but furrow.
One of the youths couldn't hold back and walked straight toward Dai Mubai's trio.
In an instant, the smell of gunpowder began to permeate the air in the restaurant.
Everyone, with a mindset of watching a show, turned their gazes over one after another.
Yang Yuan and Old Zhang were naturally no exception.
Watching this scene, he shook his head slightly.
Canghui Academy?
A classic NPC!
