Chapter 97: Chapter 96: This World is Probably Sick
After finishing his words, Ma Hongjun quickly rattled off a list of dishes.
Just when everyone thought that was enough, Yun Feng looked at the dishes on the menu, shook his head, and said to the server,
"Bring two portions of everything he just ordered. I eat a lot."
Everyone was stunned.
Only Tang San and Xiao Wu didn't react much. Over the years at Nuoding Primary Spirit Master Academy, they'd already gotten used to Yun Feng's massive appetite.
He always ordered extra portions, sometimes even three or four extra if the servings weren't enough. If it weren't for Yun Feng's wealth, Tang San and Xiao Wu would have worried whether the Spirit Hall subsidies alone would cover his meals.
Seeing Yun Feng's nonchalant attitude, Ma Hongjun's chubby face showed a hint of confusion. "Uh? I can't eat that much. One portion is enough for the eight of us!"
But Yun Feng's reply shocked Ma Hongjun.
"Uh? I didn't order it for you. The extra portion is for me—I'm in a growth phase, so eating more is fine."
Now Ma Hongjun was dumbfounded.
What kind of powerhouse was this, out-eating even him?
After all, Ma Hongjun had to rely on food to suppress his desires due to the influence of his evil fire, and without a partner, he couldn't even cultivate.
To encounter someone like Yun Feng was something he had never expected.
Looking at Yun Feng's lean figure and then at himself, Ma Hongjun felt a pang of sadness.
Why could Yun Feng eat so much, yet not gain weight, and on top of that, be better looking than him?
How frustrating!
Although the group sat together, the atmosphere wasn't entirely harmonious.
Zhu Zhuqing wore a cold expression, Ning Rongrong seemed lost in thought, Yun Feng focused on his food, Tang San was fawning over Xiao Wu, and in such an atmosphere, Dai Mubai and Oscar had little to chat about. Fortunately, Ma Hongjun was there to crack a joke or two, keeping things from becoming too tense.
The restaurant was about 60-70% full when a group of people suddenly entered.
Leading them was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a well-groomed appearance and a shining hairstyle. He wore a meticulously crafted light blue Spirit Master robe embroidered with silver thread that shimmered as he moved.
Following the middle-aged man were six men and one woman, all looking around twenty and dressed in similar light blue robes, though without the silver embroidery on his. However, both the middle-aged man and the seven youths wore a green circular badge with the word "Canghui" on their left shoulder.
From their attire, it was clear these people were all Spirit Masters. Yun Feng and his companions were dressed casually, except for Yun Feng and the three girls.
The only one decently dressed was Dai Mubai, while Ma Hongjun and Oscar looked quite ordinary. In contrast, the newcomers were much more ostentatious.
Seeing them, the restaurant owner quickly approached, all smiles and bows. As Yun Feng had previously mentioned, this small town relied on the Star Dou Forest, meaning it depended on Spirit Masters for business.
Spirit Masters were not only noble but also wealthy, so the owner dared not be neglectful.
"Hey, that girl looks pretty good. Boss Dai, these folks must be from Canghui Academy, right?" Ma Hongjun's old habit kicked in, his beady eyes glued to the only girl in the group.
The girl indeed had some charm, considered above average. While Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong were all pretty, they were only about twelve years old, looking more childish compared to this fully developed young woman.
To a young man like Ma Hongjun, more mature girls were clearly more attractive, and his personality, developed over the years, made his eyes light up with interest as he stared.
Dai Mubai, who had lost some of his former grandeur due to the absence of his brother, sneered upon hearing Ma Hongjun's comment.
"It's just Canghui Academy—what's there to show off about?"
Neither Ma Hongjun nor Dai Mubai made any effort to lower their voices. Since Spirit Masters had better hearing than regular people, the middle-aged man at the head of the group cast a glance at them, frowning. His expression turned sour upon noticing that the Shrek group was just a bunch of kids.
Oscar, sitting next to Tang San, chuckled softly,
"Looks like there's going to be a good show."
Tang San looked at him curiously, "What show?"
Oscar replied in a low voice,
"This is part of our training. Dean Flender said a Spirit Master who doesn't cause trouble isn't a good Spirit Master. He believes that those who don't cause trouble are mediocre."
Yun Feng's eating paused at those words.
He hadn't wanted to get involved, but hearing this, he couldn't help but react.
"Not causing trouble is mediocrity?"
Who knew how Flender had come up with that logic.
If he had guts, he could go provoke the Spirit Hall or a Titled Douluo! Was bullying the weak even considered causing trouble?
As long as the opponent wasn't above Spirit Sage level, Zao Wou-Ki or Flender could handle it.
With no fear of repercussions, it was easy to be bold. But then again, if it's something that can be resolved, is it even worth calling it a 'trouble'?
If they wanted a fight, they could go to the Great Spirit Arena. Randomly provoking people for no reason was, in Yun Feng's opinion, the stupidest thing.
After all, who knows if the person you provoke today might become powerful in the future.
Even if they can't defeat you now, what if they become vengeful?
Would you stay on guard forever?
The most ridiculous thing was that Tang San seemed to agree with it.
Wasn't he the one who upheld the Tang Sect's principles?
As an assassin, a killer, didn't he live by the rule to eliminate threats completely?
Where was the low-profile approach of an assassin?
Yun Feng sighed. This world is probably sick, but he had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
He glanced at Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, giving them a slight shake of his head to convey his intentions.
The three girls exchanged looks, then smiled, ignoring whatever was happening on Dai Mubai's side.
Yun Feng continued eating, acting as if he hadn't seen anything at all.
