A Chance Encounter with Zhao Wuji

A Chance Encounter with Zhao Wuji

After leaving the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou headed straight for the Star Luo Empire.

However, the distance between them was simply too great.

They had walked from morning until afternoon, and it was gradually getting dark.

Dai Zhirou could not help saying, "It's getting dark. Let's find a small town and stay the night!"

Taishi Ming grinned mischievously. "Bieyang, I think camping out together would be a pretty good choice too!"

Dai Zhirou gave Taishi Ming a meaningful look. "Camping is fine. I'll sleep in the only small tent, and you'll sleep outside it. How about that? Are you willing?"

It had to be said that Dai Zhirou understood Taishi Ming better and better.

She had seen through his little scheme in an instant!

Upon hearing that, Taishi Ming seemed to have forgotten all about it.

He solemnly pulled out the map and quickly searched it. Then he pointed at a spot on the map. "This town is only about ten kilometers away. At our speed, we can get there in two or three hours. It should be just dark by then. Couldn't be more perfect."

Dai Zhirou teased, "Didn't you want to camp? Why are you looking for a town again?"

Taishi Ming shook his head and sighed. "Sigh, how could camping possibly be as comfortable as sleeping in a hotel?"

Dai Zhirou chuckled.

Two hours later, they indeed arrived at the town just as night fell.

By then, both of them were somewhat hungry.

So they found a hotel in a two-story building. After entering, they found that the first-floor lobby was a simple dining hall.

The second floor was for lodging, and Dai Zhirou rented a double suite.

She then brought Taishi Ming into the dining hall and casually found an empty table to sit at.

The restaurant was already seventy or eighty percent full. It had to be said that this hotel did fairly good business in the small town.

At that moment, a group of people suddenly entered from outside, around seven or eight of them.

Leading them was a middle-aged man in his forties.

He was fairly good-looking, especially his hair, which was slicked down until it gleamed.

He wore a blue-and-white Soul Master robe of exquisite craftsmanship, embroidered with golden threads that formed patterns which flashed as he moved.

It was obviously worth a fortune.

The six young people behind the middle-aged man, four men and two women, appeared to be around twenty years old. They wore the same blue-and-white Soul Master robes, except their robes were embroidered with silver thread.

Yet whether it was the middle-aged man or the six youths behind him, all of them wore a purple badge over their left breasts.

Two words were carved in the center of the badge: Haoyue.

Anyone with even a little discernment could tell that these were Soul Masters from the same academy!

In this world, Soul Masters were the equivalent of the powerful and the nobility.

How could the restaurant owner dare neglect them? The moment he saw them enter, he hurried over to greet them.

Not only was he all smiles, but he bowed and scraped, lowering himself as much as he possibly could.

After the leading teacher booked their rooms, he went upstairs to his room.

The remaining four men and two women headed toward the empty tables in the dining hall.

By sheer coincidence, they sat beside Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou.

The leader among the six was clearly a rather imposing young man, because the other five all treated him with great respect.

As soon as the six sat down,

one of the men, skinny as a monkey, spotted Dai Zhirou, and his eyes immediately lit up.

He then said quietly, "Boss, look over there!"

The man followed the direction Skinny Monkey pointed.

The other five seated there were all momentarily stunned.

The men then revealed intoxicated expressions, while the women showed jealousy.

Skinny Monkey whispered, "Boss, how about I invite her over for a drink with you?"

The man called Boss nodded, wearing an expression that seemed to say, At least you know what's good for you.

Skinny Monkey immediately understood. He stood and walked toward Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming.

Taishi Ming smiled at Dai Zhirou and shook his head. "Sometimes, being too pretty is quite troublesome."

Dai Zhirou still did not understand what was going on!

Then she heard a lecherous voice say, "Beauty, our boss invites you over for a drink!"

Dai Zhirou's eyes turned cold, and she spat out one word. "Scram!"

"Dominating!"

Taishi Ming gave Dai Zhirou a thumbs-up, while killing intent rose in his heart. But before he could act,

Skinny Monkey grew furious. In his eyes, she was merely an ordinary person. No matter how beautiful she was, she was still only an ordinary person.

Daring to defy a distinguished Lord Soul Master was courting death.

What he did not know was that both Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou had only changed into ordinary clothes to avoid drawing attention. Under normal circumstances, everything the six of them owned combined might not have been worth as much as a single piece of clothing worn by either of them.

Therefore, one should never judge people solely by their clothes and appearance.

When Skinny Monkey reached out to grab Dai Zhirou, Taishi Ming's gaze instantly turned icy.

A chopstick snapped in his hand, and in the next moment, he was about to cripple Skinny Monkey's hand.

However, someone else got there first.

A burly young man grabbed Skinny Monkey's arm.

With a squeeze!

Skinny Monkey's face instantly twisted in pain as he let out a scream.

"Ah!"

Did I just run into some heroic champion?

Taishi Ming was a little dumbfounded. When he turned to look, he became even more dumbfounded.

Because beside the burly young man who had acted stood a man and a woman.

The man was even more burly, though he was already in his forties or fifties.

The woman was young and beautiful, with a fine figure as well.

Under normal circumstances, any normal man's gaze would have fallen upon the young woman. Yet this time, Taishi Ming's eyes fell upon the burly big man in his forties or fifties.

Because Taishi Ming recognized him at a glance. This was Zhao Wuji!

This was the first character from the original story he had encountered since arriving on the Douluo Continent.

At that moment, the burly young man said, "Don't go around bullying ordinary people just because you have a little strength. Those with ability should challenge the strong."

Skinny Monkey's group immediately stood, glaring angrily at Zhao Wuji's group of three, but they did not dare make a move.

Because anyone capable of subduing Skinny Monkey in a single move was definitely no ordinary person.

Combined with Zhao Wuji's age, his strength was probably no weaker than their teacher's. Fighting would not benefit them.

Otherwise, they would have already rushed them together.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Taishi Ming came back to his senses and applauded. "Well said. Those with real ability challenge the strong rather than deliberately bullying the weak, because that is a sign of incompetence. However, big brother, there's no need for you to deal with these pieces of trash. We can handle them ourselves."

"Hmm?"

Both groups looked over at once.

Seeing that Dai Zhirou and Taishi Ming remained utterly calm and unafraid,

Zhao Wuji smiled faintly. "It seems we acted unnecessarily!"

As he spoke, he sat at an empty table nearby and began studying Taishi Ming and Dai Zhirou with interest.
