Late Night Small Canteen with Two Girls

"Really? No way, you're bluffing,"

Lu Yunzheng muttered softly. He picked up his phone, found his good elder brother, and sent Zhao Manyan a message.

Not long after, his good elder brother, Lu Sheng, called: "Hello, Yunzheng, why are you asking about Zhao Manyan? With your circle, you shouldn't be able to get in touch with him."

His elder brother's words implied he looked down on Lu Yunzheng.

"Brother Sheng, isn't today the start of classes at Pearl Institute? I have a roommate, and his name is Zhao Manyan!!" Lu Yunzheng glanced subtly at Zhao Manyan, then whispered.

Zhao Manyan didn't pay attention. Instead, he took out a cigarette and offered it to Mo Fan. The cigarette he smoked was not cheap and couldn't be bought on the market. It was rumored to be mixed with several medicinal magic plants.

After confirming Mo Fan's magic element and appearance, Lu Sheng confirmed that Lu Yunzheng's roommate was indeed the second young master of the Zhao family's eldest branch, Zhao Manyan.

He immediately said: "Yunzheng, you must build a good relationship with this Young Master Zhao. I can introduce him to the brothers in the family later. He's from the topmost tier of our noble circles."

"Uh, I might have just offended him," Lu Yunzheng said cautiously.

Silence—a long, drawn-out silence.

"Brother Sheng, are you still listening?"

"Who's your brother?" Lu Sheng said, then hung up the phone.

Idiot, a complete idiot!!!

After hanging up, Lu Sheng took two heavy breaths. He could only hope that the conflict between Zhao Manyan and Lu Yunzheng wouldn't affect the business dealings between the Zhao and Lu families.

Zhao Manyan might not be able to influence major business, but small business is still business. For Lu Yunzheng's value, losing even a little profit is a loss!!

Meanwhile, Zhao Manyan saw that Lu Yunzheng had finished his call. He then stood up: "You're done with your call. It seems you know my identity now."

Lu Yunzheng's lips moved a few times, but he hadn't spoken yet.

Zhao Manyan raised his hand and slapped Lu Yunzheng across the face, his expression playful. "You know my identity, so I'll reward you with a slap. Are you satisfied?"

Lu Yunzheng was stunned, looking dazed as if he'd been hit senseless, and didn't know how to reply.

The other roommates were all watching this conflict. After all, on the first day of school, while they weren't exactly close, everyone was being friendly and trying to show off their emotional intelligence.

But they didn't expect a conflict to erupt on the very first day. This made them wonder how they would handle it if they were in a similar situation.

They hadn't expected Zhao Manyan to be so volatile; he seemed difficult to get along with.

"What, not satisfied?" Zhao Manyan flicked his wrist and delivered another hard slap.

"Satisfied, satisfied, satisfied!"

This time, Lu Yunzheng snapped back to reality. He covered his face, not daring to complain, even showing a hint of being wronged.

It seemed he was used to throwing his weight around using the Lu family's name, and he hadn't suffered such a significant loss before today!

"Get out now!!"

Zhao Manyan roared.

Lu Yunzheng immediately grabbed his luggage and left the dormitory with his head down. He went to find the counselor to switch dorms. He had lost all face, and there was no way he could get anywhere by staying here. It was better to transfer to another dormitory.

Mo Fan watched a thoroughly satisfying drama unfold. So Old Zhao actually had a bit of a spoiled rich kid temper. But why had it never appeared when he was with Mo Fan?

Mo Fan thought about it and concluded that Zhao Manyan probably didn't dare.

After all, others respected and feared him because of his family background. But Mo Fan would actually fight him if he disagreed, and the barefoot don't fear the shod.

The teacher's assembly time was approaching. Mo Fan glanced at his phone and said, "It's almost time for the assembly. We can go now."

As Mo Fan got up, he casually pocketed Old Zhao's cigarettes and lighter.

After a while, a roar erupted from the dormitory: "Damn it, where's my lighter?"

The Summoning Element still had only seven people. Director Jiang Yunming spoke about the main courses. Because the Summoning Element had fewer courses, most of the time was spent cultivating summoned beasts. If they had free time, they could go and listen to lectures in other departments.

He then mentioned the welcoming ceremony a few days later. There would be a welcoming performance during the ceremony, and the top two performers would receive a bottle of Beast Taming Blood.

Beast Taming Blood could be understood as a low-level enhancement item, capable of strengthening the bloodline power of low-level Demonic Beasts. It had little effect on Demonic Beasts of General-level bloodline or higher.

Although it was a low-level resource, it was worth over a million on the market. Anything related to mages was exceptionally expensive.

After leaving the classroom, Mo Fan, who was hungry, headed directly to the cafeteria.

On the way, he received a message on his Little Green Book from Ai Tutu, asking where he was.

Mo Fan replied that he was preparing to go to the dock to grab some fries.

Ai Tutu: Speak human language.

Big Bad Wolf Loves Little White Rabbit (Mo Fan): Going to the cafeteria to eat some junk food.

Ai Tutu: Wait for us, Sister Mu and I are almost there.

Why were they looking for him again? This Ai Tutu was a bit off. She was contacting him too frequently. Could she have ulterior motives?

But it wouldn't work. He had to remain chaste for Xuexue, Xin Xia, and Jiao Jiao. Even in his previous life, his relationship with Ai Tutu was purely platonic friends (and maybe casual hookups)!

Mo Fan arrived at the cafeteria first. Pearl Institute's cafeteria was huge, no different from the food courts in a snack street or a shopping mall's dining level.

Mo Fan entered the Late Night Small Canteen, a small eatery with a pub-like style. Mo Fan first ordered a bowl of ramen to tide him over while waiting for Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.

As soon as he sat down, his phone rang again. It was Zhao Manyan's call.

"Hello?"

"Hello, where is Brother Mo Fan? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Eating with a simp. What's up?"

"Simp? Brother Mo Fan, you actually have a simp? Where are you? I have to see!"

[Location]

"Come on, be ready to pay the bill for us." Mo Fan hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

"Pay the bill for what? Who's paying!"

As soon as Mo Fan finished speaking, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu entered from behind him.

"It's nothing, let's order. What do you two want to eat?"

Mo Fan handed the menu to the two and then looked at them with a smile.

Because it was hot during the day, both of them were wearing cool, white camisoles, their snow-white shoulders and beautiful backs perfectly exposed. Fortunately, they remembered to put on shawls when they came out.

"You guys in the Summoning Element are in big trouble this time, you know." Ai Tutu said with a serious expression.

"Oh? What big trouble?" Mo Fan played along with Ai Tutu's act.

"Don't you know that the final bonus surprise of the Freshman Welcome Assembly is a Beast Taming Competition?" Ai Tutu said, widening her large, captivating eyes, her cheeks still retaining some baby fat.

"I know. Isn't it just fighting Demonic Beasts? That's my strong suit," Mo Fan said casually.

"What are you talking about, you idiot? The Beast Taming Competition is about your Summoning Element's summoned beasts," Ai Tutu said, not flustered at all.

"Ah, fighting people? Isn't that even easier?"

It took a while before Mo Fan's words came out of his mouth.

Seeing that Mo Fan was so out of the loop, Mu Nujiao shook her head. Just as the grilled eel was served, she picked up her chopsticks and heard Mo Fan's last sentence, her movements freezing instantly.
