A Grand Banquet

Before long, Zhang Nan had finished fusing with the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

After briefly familiarizing himself with it, Zhang Nan gained a general understanding of the Blue Silver Right Leg Bone. Besides granting flight, its restorative ability was also first-rate.

After returning to Shrek Academy, Zhang Nan heard that Yu Xiaogang had become a eunuch, and the system reward popped up as well.

Ding!

"Congratulations, host. Mission complete. You have received 1,500 Gold Soul Coins!"

Clatter!

As the faint sound of coins falling together rang out, Zhang Nan's wallet became plump once more.

"Not bad. Everyone did very well. Today, we're throwing a grand banquet. Let's drink until we drop!"

"Great, hahaha! Thank you, Sect Master!"

"Hahaha, we're drinking again! I've been craving it to death!"

"Let's go!"

Zhang Nan took out five hundred Gold Soul Coins from the system and handed them to the Five Tiger Generals, telling them to find any restaurant they liked while he joined them later.

After receiving the money, the Five Tiger Generals left happily, their faces filled with reverence.

Zhang Nan headed outside the girls' dormitory, where he happened to run into Ning Rongrong as she stepped out.

The moment Ning Rongrong saw Zhang Nan, her face lit up. She trotted over, jumped up, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What is it? You missed me after only half a day?"

Zhang Nan let her hold him like that. Only after a long while did Ning Rongrong lower her arms. Her eyes reddened as she choked out, "I... sob... I thought you didn't want me anymore!"

"Hahahaha..."

Ning Rongrong's aggrieved little expression made Zhang Nan laugh heartily.

"Silly girl, how could I not want you? Come on, let me take a good look at you. See? We haven't met for just one afternoon, and you've gotten prettier again!"

"Re-Really?"

Ning Rongrong's mood immediately brightened considerably, and she became bashful.

"Silly, would I lie to you? Come on, I'll introduce you to some new friends!" Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Okay, wait for me. I'll go get Xiao Wu! Hehe..."

Before Zhang Nan could agree, Ning Rongrong had already run up the stairs, looking even happier than before.

Not long after Xiao Wu came downstairs, the three of them headed toward the place the Five Tiger Generals had mentioned. Along the way, they ran into Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

After exchanging a few simple greetings, they left the academy and went their separate ways.

Before they had gone far, Oscar and Ma Hongjun started chattering again.

"Wow... look at that, just look! He's got one on the left and one on the right. Oscar, why don't you suggest to Dean Flander that he recruit more junior girls? I want to stop being single too!"

Thinking of the two girls standing beside Zhang Nan, Ma Hongjun could not have been more envious.

Oscar said helplessly, "Get lost, get lost. Why don't you tell the dean yourself? If I brought that up to him, he'd chew me out like crazy. Hey, did you see the Master this afternoon?"

"The Master? What about him? Isn't he in the house in the back courtyard? What does he have to do with junior girls? Would it help if we told him?"

"Help my ass. What I mean is, I saw him today. At noon, he clutched his crotch and ran into the infirmary. There was a huge pool of blood on the ground where he passed. Scary as hell!"

"Really? Could it have been pee?" Ma Hongjun asked suspiciously.

"Would I lie about that?"

"Forget it, forget it. Why care about him? Oh, right, I treated you when we went to get our feet washed last time. This time, you have to treat me, Oscar!"

"Got it, got it. This time, I definitely have to find a new girl. Hehe!"

The two gradually disappeared into the night.

Over on Zhang Nan's side.

Following the system's navigation, Zhang Nan arrived at the place the Five Tiger Generals had mentioned. Looking up, he found that the restaurant was a full five stories tall. The constant stream of customers entering and leaving showed just how booming its business was.

"Dujiangyan? That's a pretty good name. Let's go in and take a look!"

Zhang Nan stepped in from the red carpet at the entrance. The interior was spacious, and every table in the hall was packed. At least twenty or so people were waiting nearby for seats. In front of the tables stood a huge stage, where beautiful women with exceptional figures wore revealing outfits and boldly displayed their dancing skills.

"Sect Master! Sect Master!"

Zhang Fei waved vigorously from the crowd, and Zhang Nan walked over with Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

"Hehehe!" Zhang Fei gave an honest smile. "Sect Master, this way upstairs. We're on the third floor, and the lighting is good there!"

"Mm!"

Zhang Nan nodded and followed Zhang Fei into a private room on the third floor.

When Zhang Nan arrived, the other four generals immediately stood and respectfully said, "Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Not bad. You guys really know how to pick a place!"

Just as Zhang Fei had said, the private room had both a wide view and good lighting. From upstairs, they could clearly watch the performance on the stage.

"Everyone, sit! Let me introduce you. This is Ning Rongrong, and this is Xiao Wu!"

After introducing Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu to the Five Tiger Generals, Zhang Nan continued, "They are my generals!"

As soon as Zhang Nan finished speaking, Zhang Fei raised his cup and introduced himself first.

"Haha, I'm Zhang Yide of Yan. Just call me Zhang Fei, like the Sect Master does!"

"This subordinate is Zhao Zilong of Changshan!"

"This subordinate is Ma Chao of Western Liang!"

"This subordinate is Guan Yu!"

"Veteran Huang Zhong!"

The other four generals also raised their cups.

"Good! Hahahaha... Let me fill my cup first!"

Since Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu might not be able to drink, Zhang Nan did not pour them any alcohol. He merely poured them some tea, while filling his own cup to the brim as a gesture of sincerity.

"Cheers!!!"

At Zhang Nan's command, the sounds of gulping down strong liquor rang out.

Awesome!!!

"Hahahahahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

After drinking, they felt thoroughly refreshed. They exchanged smiles, then sat down and began eating.

"Wow, you became a Sect Master at the same age as me?"

Ning Rongrong leaned close to Zhang Nan's ear, her words brimming with admiration.

"Hahaha, no, no. The sect hasn't been established yet. I'm planning to build it after some time. Do you have any nice names? Share a couple with me?"

"How would I know how to name a sect..."

Ning Rongrong nestled against Zhang Nan's chest.

Sitting nearby, Xiao Wu watched the two of them speak and act so intimately. For some reason, her heart suddenly felt empty, and her expression dimmed slightly.

Ever since the day they met in the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhang Nan's figure had kept appearing in Xiao Wu's mind over and over after she returned. Sometimes, she would become lost in thought just thinking about him...

"Hmm? Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Only then did Zhang Nan notice the dejected Xiao Wu beside him, thinking she had something on her mind.

"Huh? I'm fine, I'm fine. Hehe!"

Xiao Wu came back to her senses and forced a faint smile onto her gloomy face.
