Those Who Dare Not Cause Trouble Are Mediocrities?

The Xiao Clan was bathed in warm sunlight and gentle breezes.

Xiao Wujiu packed his things. After making a trip to Xiao Yan's place, he soon obtained a solution. Aside from the method tailored to Dugu Bo's condition, which required a fifth-grade Poison Condensing Powder, there were also other supporting methods.

Fortunately, the Mittal Auction House had solved the problem of the medicinal ingredients. Once the refining was complete, everything was fully prepared.

However, among the scrolls Xiao Yan had sent over was an unexpected delight: Yao Chen had actually included the Poison Pill Method as well!

That was certainly a pleasant surprise, though Dugu Bo had no use for it yet.

Once everything was ready, he prepared to head to the Douluo World.

Inside his room, after confirming that Ling Ying was not lurking nearby, Xiao Wujiu willed it and vanished instantly.

Back when he had been before Dugu Bo, he had needed to intimidate him. Going by himself, there was no need to make things so troublesome.

Douluo Continent, outside Suotuo City.

"Wait, where the hell did this send me? Is this still Heaven Dou?"

Xiao Wujiu looked at this place, which was clearly different from Heaven Dou City, and felt speechless.

I should've known better than to show off back then. I didn't even leave behind a locator.

But since things had come to this, he could hardly sit around waiting to die. He prepared to enter the city and ask around about where he was.

Yet just as he reached the city gates and made out the city's name, he ran into a group of people—four men and three women, led by an exceptionally burly man.

"Seriously, what are the odds?"

Xiao Wujiu had not expected his luck to be this good. The teleportation coordinates had happened to place him outside Suotuo City, and he had even run into the Shrek group just as they were heading out to hunt spirit beasts.

Follow them!

He immediately changed direction and followed the stream of people leaving the city, moving away from Suotuo City.

He trailed far behind Shrek's group and activated a breath-concealing Dou Technique, the low Xuan-class Turtle Breathing Technique, which could greatly reduce his energy fluctuations and sense of presence.

With his current strength, there was no way Shrek's people could detect him.

Strange, why do I feel a chill down my back?

Tang San, who was rushing along at high speed, tilted his head slightly, filled with confusion. But there was no one around, and he could not sense anything unusual, so he let it go.

"He's not even trying to hide it. A Dou Zhe like him actually turned around to look while a Dou Ling powerhouse like me was concealing his aura and following him."

Xiao Wujiu was speechless. Tang San had definitely turned around to investigate something just now; he simply had not noticed anything.

As they continued their sprint, when the sky gradually darkened, he spotted a small town in the distance and knew Shrek's group would stay there for the night.

So he sped up and arrived before them.

"A two-story building, meals on the first floor and lodging on the second. Nothing special. This should be the place."

Xiao Wujiu quickly finished looking around the small town and soon found a place matching the description.

Of course, if it was not this one, he could simply try another establishment.

He picked a seat, called over a waiter and casually ordered a few dishes, then began waiting quietly.

A while later, Tang San's group entered.

Zhao Wuji returned to his room to rest, while the Shrek group found a place to eat on the first floor. By sheer coincidence, they sat at the table beside Xiao Wujiu's.

"The show's about to begin."

The corners of his lips curled up. He crossed his legs, amusement in his eyes, looking like he was ready to enjoy the spectacle.

Soon, another group of eight entered. A middle-aged man led a group of students. Judging by the details of their uniforms, they should be from Canghui Academy.

Sure enough, he clearly heard the Shrek group nearby suddenly start mouthing off for no apparent reason, then clash with the people from Canghui Academy.

And by another remarkable coincidence, Canghui Academy sat two tables away from Shrek's group, while he was seated right between the two sides.

The show had begun.

As the conflict between the two groups erupted, the diners around them hurried away and hid to the side to watch, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Yet Xiao Wujiu, seated between them, did not move. He continued eating the dishes before him as though nothing was happening.

A bite of meat, a mouthful of wine—he was thoroughly enjoying himself. It had to be said, the specialty dishes of the Douluo Continent really did have something to them.

Naturally, his behavior drew the attention of everyone present, including both sides of the conflict: Shrek and Canghui Academy.

As one of Shrek's "monsters," Ma Hongjun felt the gazes around him. The feeling of being the center of attention greatly satisfied his vanity.

Just as he was about to say a few harsh words before giving that damn Canghui Academy a brutal lesson and showing off, he noticed someone sitting between them who lacked the awareness to keep eating at a time like this. It made him extremely dissatisfied.

Didn't he see everyone around them had moved away because of them? Who the hell did he think he was, still sitting there eating?

"Hey, were you reincarnated as a starving ghost? Get the hell out of here already, or I'll beat you up along with them later!"

"Ma Hongjun, don't!"

Seeing Ma Hongjun talking as he walked toward the young man, Tang San suddenly felt an inexplicable unease. He hurriedly shouted for him to stop.

But in a moment like this, when he had the chance to make such a grand display, would Ma Hongjun still listen to Tang San?

Xiao Wujiu raised his bowl of wine and drained it in one gulp, an expression of enjoyment appearing on his face. As expected, good food was not to be wasted!

Of course, it would have been even better without those annoying flies.

Just as Ma Hongjun's hand was about to land on his shoulder, something moved even faster: an arm!

Slap! With a crisp sound, Ma Hongjun, who had been strutting arrogantly just moments ago, was sent flying like a dead dog!

"Fatty!"

"Ma Hongjun!"

Shrek's people were shocked. Dai Mubai reacted swiftly and hurried forward with Tang San to catch Ma Hongjun.

Dai Mubai looked at Ma Hongjun, whose face bore a distinct palm print. His right cheek was rapidly swelling, looking as though it would soon become a pig's head!

Seeing his badly injured brother, he forcibly suppressed the fury in his heart. He had not even seen how the other man had attacked.

This person was no simple opponent!

"Brother, which faction are you a disciple of? I believe there must be some misunderstanding here."

"Trying to establish credentials? You're not worthy." He directly threw back the words Dai Mubai had used against Canghui Academy earlier.

"As for a misunderstanding..." Xiao Wujiu set down his wine bowl and looked toward the people from Canghui Academy beside him. "Is there any misunderstanding here?"

The people from Canghui Academy, unable to gauge Xiao Wujiu's background, obediently shook their heads and said, "No, no. They provoked us first and spoke disrespectfully."

"There. You few who claim not to be mediocrities heard that too. Who's in the right? What misunderstanding could there possibly be?"

Dai Mubai's face darkened like water, while Tang San stared at Xiao Wujiu with a grave expression. He could not see through this person.

The other Shrek members behind them all wore different expressions.

Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wujiu with pure curiosity. She only felt that he was incredibly handsome, and he had even beaten up that lecherous Ma Hongjun. Though she had not been the beauty saved by a hero, he had still caught her attention.
