The banquet
"Ah."
"Greetings, Senior Dugu." Tang San and the others quickly greeted Dugu Bo.
Slightly surprised, Boss Chu had actually managed to recruit a Titled Douluo to be a teacher at the academy; that was incredibly impressive.
"Hmm, you're quite good. The leader said you were very strong, and I've seen it for myself today." Dugu Bo didn't put on airs.
These students might become his colleagues in the future.
Being praised by a Titled Douluo Tang San and his companions scratch their heads somewhat embarrassed.
"Let's go, I've already had a banquet prepared at the hotel. We can eat and chat; it's cooked by the canteen," Chu Feng said, clapping his hands.
Before he arrived, he had already arranged for a banquet to be prepared in advance.
Now that we're back, we definitely need to have a good meal.
"Yay, let's have a big meal!"
"Great, we can try something different now."
The Shrek members cheered when they heard there would be a big meal.
It's important to know that their diet is strictly controlled during training sessions.
It's not easy to get your hands on the special dishes developed by the canteen.
Chu Feng had no choice but to deal with this; he couldn't very well let Tang San and the others eat junk food during training time.
The food in the canteen is delicious, but it requires a lot of technology and skill.
The group quickly arrived at the hotel's banquet hall, and upon opening the door, they saw a feast laid out on the table.
"Hey Fatty's here! That century-old tiger prawn, nobody can take it from me."
"Spicy strips, my spicy strips, I've finally seen you!"
"Don't eat a proper meal; even a thousand-year-old abalone will fill you up."
Chu Feng looked at the Shrek Academy members and shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sorry you had to see this," Flender said to Dugu Bo.
These kids have no manners at all; they invited Dugu Bo to take a seat first.
Dugu Bo smiled and waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright, it just makes the place more lively."
Aside from his granddaughter, he was usually a lonely and quiet person. Those who wanted to get close to him either wanted something from him, Titled Douluo, or were afraid of him and dared not associate with him.
The atmosphere at Shrek now made him feel a long-lost sense of liveliness.
"I wonder if I'm late." A young man's voice suddenly came from behind.
Everyone looked back and saw a handsome young man walking in front, with Dugu Yan following behind him.
"Qin Ming!" Flender exclaimed with some surprise.
Qin Ming strode forward, took Flender's hand, and bowed slightly, "Teacher!"
"Grandpa..." Dugu Yan also rushed into Dugu Bo's arms, her face full of grievance, wanting to get comfort from Dugu Bo.
Tang San and his companions were about to enjoy their meal when Qin Ming and Dugu Yan entered, so they put down their chopsticks.
Why are the Imperial Fighting Team still chasing us here?
They could understand why Dugu Yan would be here, after all, she was Dugu Bo's granddaughter.
But isn't Qin Ming the leader of the Imperial Fighting Team?
Qin Ming exchanged a few pleasantries with Flender, then looked at Chu Feng beside him, "Little Feng, do you still recognize me?"
"Of course I recognize Senior Qin," Chu Feng said with a smile.
He still had a good impression of Qin Ming, after all, he was one of the few people who were genuinely good to him.
Unfortunately, Qin Ming graduated and left Shrek Academy not long after he Shrek.
Otherwise, Qin Ming's achievements could be even greater.
"Come, let me introduce him to you." Flender pulled Qin Ming aside and introduced Qin Ming to the Shrek members.
Upon hearing that Qin Ming was an early student of the Shrek Academy and was now a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang San and his companions immediately looked at him with surprise and instantly came to accept Qin Ming.
Anyone from Shrek is family.
"Senior Qin, come on over, these things are delicious." Ma Hongjun immediately invited Qin Ming to sit down.
"And Sister Yan." Ning Rongrong noticed that Dugu Yan was a little uneasy, so she came over and pulled her to sit down together.
Everyone sat down together. Tang San and the other children sat in one group, while Chu Feng, Flender, and the other adults sat in another.
After a few bites of delicious food, everyone started chatting.
Qin Ming and Flender clinked glasses lightly, Qin Ming chuckled, "Dean, I didn't expect my next batch of juniors to be so strong."
His words contained no flattery; he genuinely believed that Tang San and his companions were very powerful.
As a graduate of Shrek Academy, he knew the academy's hiring standards: they would rather have none than hire the wrong one.
With Chu Feng's help, it would be difficult for things to go wrong.
Dugu Yan nodded in agreement as she ate.
"Rongrong, how are you guys so amazing?"
Girls make friends so quickly, and with Dugu Bo acting as a go-between, she quickly became friends with Ning Rongrong and the other girls.
"Oh, it's all thanks to Boss Chu, but we also got this result through hard training."
"You have no idea how insane Boss Chu's training is," Ning Rongrong said sweetly, unable to resist rolling her eyes at Chu Feng beside her.
She moved quickly and managed to sit next to Chu Feng.
Dugu Yan glanced at Chu Feng, somewhat surprised.
I never expected that Chu Feng would not only be so powerful himself, but also make others so powerful.
Today's battle showed her what it means to be outmatched and have a higher level of understanding.
His own prized talent was nothing compared to Ning Rongrong and the others.
"Yanyan, next year, you should also come to the Shrek Academy to study." Seeing that Dugu Yan was somewhat interested, Dugu Bo suggested at the right time.
Dugu Yan thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I'm doing very well at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I still have friends there."
"I think you just can't bear to part with that kid." Dugu Bo angrily put down his cup.
He now wished he could flash over and beat that brat Yu Tianheng up.
He had no idea what kind of spell he had cast on his granddaughter.
I wish my granddaughter liked the students at the Shrek Academy.
Even that fat guy Ma Hongjun would be fine; at least he's good-looking.
Fatty: You're talking to me about that.
Dugu Yan knew that Dugu Bo was angry with Yu Tianheng, so she didn't say anything, otherwise they would start arguing again.
"Our children have their own way of handling things; let's just drink our own." Flender interrupted Dugu Bo was about to continue instructing Dugu Yan.
"Hmph..." Dugu Bo snorted coldly, but said nothing more, and began drinking wine with Flender.
Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and continued chatting with Ning Rongrong and the others.
"Hey... Little Feng, I forgot to tell you, Yu Xiaogang has been rescued." Flender suddenly said to Chu Feng.
"?" Chu Feng paused in his eating.
"I was told by someone in Suotuo City a few days ago that Yu Xiaogang was taken away from prison by a man in black, and his whereabouts are currently unknown."
"Interesting."
Chu Feng was surprised that Yu Xiaogang was so lucky; he was even rescued from prison.
He thought about Yu Xiaogang's network of connections, but couldn't figure out who would dare to do such a thing.
It can't be someone from Bibi Dong or Liu Erlong's group, can it?
After all, only these two women were interested in Yu Xiaogang.
