Ji Yuan had thought running into Mei Zhuang at the Drill-Ground Rat Tribe some time ago was already quite a coincidence.
It was not as if he had never considered dealing with Mei Zhuang on the spot.
But matters had been urgent, and he had had no time to invite further trouble.
Who would have thought that, after their hurried parting, he would meet him again today in Ripplewater City?
As the ancients said, enemies met on a narrow road. Today, it seemed the ancients had spoken true.
If their paths had not been so fated to cross, how else could Ji Yuan have encountered Mei Zhuang again on the Demon God Continent—and twice in succession?

"How could I not be here?"
Ji Yuan countered with a smile.
"No—this junior didn't mean that."
Mei Zhuang broke out in a downpour of sweat. Cold perspiration soaked his back in an instant.
"Fine. Let's find somewhere to talk."
Ji Yuan was curious about what had happened at the Drill-Ground Rat Tribe after he left, and how Mei Zhuang had come here.
As for fighting—even when Ji Yuan had first broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he had no longer feared Mei Zhuang.
Now a whole major realm separated them.
Ji Yuan was completely confident he could slap him to death with one hand.
"Yes—"
Ji Yuan had meant to find a restaurant and sit down, but to his surprise, Mei Zhuang led him straight into a courtyard.
One glance told him this was where Mei Zhuang was staying in Ripplewater City.
"Please wait a moment, Senior, while this junior changes clothes."
Mei Zhuang bowed and cupped his hands.
Seeing the mortal enemy of his past bow obediently before him now gave Ji Yuan a peculiar feeling.
"Go on."
