After finishing their meal, Chen Feng led Ayaka out of the restaurant.
"Ayaka, how was it? Did you enjoy it?" Chen Feng asked softly, smiling as he looked at Kamisato Ayaka.
Ayaka stepped lightly, following behind Chen Feng, and murmured, "How should I put it? Although it lacks the flavors of Inazuma, it was actually quite pleasant."
Just as the two were speaking, Chen Feng and Ayaka sensed a commotion erupting within the crowd.
Chen Feng looked into the distance and saw a boy and a girl walking toward them.
The boy was dressed simply, appearing to be about twelve or thirteen years old and roughly 1.7 meters tall. He wore a neat, light blue martial outfit. A belt inlaid with twenty-four jade stones was wrapped around his waist, and his black, medium-length hair barely reached his shoulders.
The girl's silky, smooth black hair was styled into a neat scorpion braid that hung past her calves, and she was half a head taller than the boy.
She wore a pink top that tightly hugged her developing figure, and her waist was so slender it seemed it could be gripped with one hand, a feature that would make countless women envious.
The girl raised her hand to wipe her slightly damp forehead and complained, "We've finally arrived at this Suotuo City. I really don't know what the Grandmaster is thinking. Several intermediate Soul Master Academies offered to admit us unconditionally, yet he insisted you come to test for this broken academy that doesn't even have a grading system."
The boy smiled slightly and said, "The teacher told me to take the test, not you. Who told you to insist on following me? It's fortunate that the Bala Kingdom borders the Fasinuo Province, otherwise, wouldn't you be complaining even more?"
The girl rolled her eyes at the boy. "You're so heartless; I did it for you. Who told you to be my brother? Anyway, the exam isn't until the day after tomorrow. Regardless, you have to spend two days playing with me in this Suotuo City to make up for the damage done to my young heart."
The boy laughed helplessly. "The big sister of the Nuoding Academy for six consecutive years, and you have a 'young heart'? If your lackeys saw this, I wonder if they'd jump into a river immediately."
Seeing the boy and girl, Chen Feng immediately realized that they must be Tang San and Xiao Wu!
Tang San was also known as Tang Double-Standard. When others killed soul beasts, it was evil; when he killed soul beasts, it was for justice.
His actions were truly unbearable to watch.
And that Xiao Wu was no better; in the original story, just like Ning Rongrong, she was a headstrong and willful character.
The problem was that the original story portrayed her willfulness and bullying as 'cuteness.'
Could a hundred-thousand-year-old loli really be called cute?
Chen Feng had no interest in Tang San and Xiao Wu; in fact, he felt a bit of disgust. However, since they hadn't provoked him, he wasn't the type to go looking for trouble.
At this moment, Ayaka, who was walking beside Chen Feng, whispered, "Does the Traveler know them?"
Chen Feng replied calmly, "I suppose you could say that, but they aren't exactly good people, nor are they suitable to be friends."
Ayaka nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.
Chen Feng smiled and said to Ayaka, "Alright, let's go."
The two left the area and continued to stroll through Suotuo City.
Chen Feng took Ayaka to buy many things in Suotuo City, including daily necessities, some clothes, and food.
After all, Chen Feng was the grandson of Sword Douluo, so he had no worries when it came to money.
The two bought a pile of items.
Just then, they heard someone shouting in the city: "Milk tea for sale! Delicious milk tea, come and see, come and buy!"
Chen Feng smiled and looked at Ayaka. "Shall I take you to have a cup of milk tea?"
Ayaka nodded slightly, and the two headed toward the milk tea stall, but the area was extremely crowded.
They reached the outer edge when suddenly, someone squeezed out from the throng—it was Xiao Wu, whom they had just seen.
Xiao Wu emerged from the crowd and shouted, "San, I bought it!"
However, Xiao Wu wasn't paying attention to the ground and suddenly tripped. She stumbled toward Chen Feng and Ayaka, and the milk tea in her hand spilled all over Chen Feng.
Xiao Wu quickly stood up. Instead of apologizing to Chen Feng first, she snorted, "Who tripped me?"
She immediately saw Chen Feng standing in front of her and snapped angrily, "It must be you! You tripped me, you pay for my milk tea!"
Hearing this, Chen Feng frowned slightly, a trace of anger appearing on his face.
"Miss, you tripped because you weren't watching where you were walking and spilled the tea on me. I haven't even asked you to pay for my clothes, yet you want me to pay for your milk tea?" Chen Feng looked at Xiao Wu and asked coldly.
However, back at Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu had been the big sister of the academy; even when she was wrong, it was always someone else's fault.
Others could only grovel humbly before her, waiting to be ordered around.
Having been spoiled and headstrong since childhood, she naturally assumed that even if it was her fault, the fact that Chen Feng happened to be standing in front of her meant he was at fault.
Xiao Wu naturally wouldn't admit her mistake. After all, Chen Feng's clothes looked very expensive, and Tang San had saved for six years just to have enough money to come to Suotuo City.
Therefore, she certainly wouldn't offer compensation.
Her motto had always been: even if she caused the trouble, if the other party didn't submit, then beat them until they did!
Xiao Wu snorted immediately. "Hmph, you were right in front of me. If it wasn't you who tripped me, then who was it? You knocked over my milk tea and still want me to pay for your clothes? Do you really think your Big Sister Xiao Wu is easy to bully?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Chen Feng frowned again.
It had to be said, this Xiao Wu was simply unreasonable!
At this moment, Tang San, who was nearby, noticed the commotion and walked over.
"What happened?" Tang San arrived at Xiao Wu's side and asked.
Xiao Wu immediately played the victim, pointing at Chen Feng. "It's this brat! I just bought the milk tea and came out, and he deliberately tripped me. Then, he even wanted me to pay for his clothes!"
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San couldn't sit still. This Tang Double-Standard always stood up for Xiao Wu; he appeared reasonable on the surface, but in reality, he was extremely unreasonable.
If he were merely protective of those close to him, perhaps not many people would have an issue with Tang Double-Standard.
But this Tang Double-Standard was extremely hypocritical; he was clearly just being biased toward his own, yet he insisted on packaging it all as justice.
After listening to Xiao Wu's explanation, Tang Double-Standard looked at Chen Feng and said, "Your Excellency tripped Xiao Wu and still wants her to pay for your clothes? Isn't that a bit too unreasonable!"
