Chapter 132: Unexpected Acquaintance

The Qin sisters were unaware of the recognition they had received from their seniors; if they knew, they would probably be very happy.

After the team from Shrek Academy left Small Shop, the two sisters came to Qi Han with a slightly gloomy expression on their faces.

Qin Yao had already heard Qin Yue talk about what happened before, knowing that Zhao Fenglai had come again to disrupt Small Shop's business. She also felt a bit resentful, but didn't know what to do about it.

On the other hand, Qi Han's face showed a strange expression when Tang Qianqiu left.

"Oh, it's open?" a somewhat frivolous voice came from outside the shop door, followed by a figure confidently entering the new Small Shop store.

Just hearing this voice, the Qin sisters' anger rose.

"Zhao Fenglai, you dare to come again?" Qin Yue angrily spoke up.

Zhao Fenglai didn't answer, simply examining the decoration and layout of the Small Shop, his pupils slightly contracting.

On one hand, he was amazed that in just a few days, the old location of Moonlight Pavilion had completely transformed into a new store. On the other hand, Zhao Fenglai suddenly felt fortunate that he acted in time. If such an elegantly decorated restaurant were to develop, it would certainly impact his Fenglai Pavilion's business.

Fortunately, he had taken steps to nip it in the bud.

Next, Zhao Fenglai's eyes fell on the price list hanging on the wall.

"Hmph!" With just one glance, a cold smile appeared on Zhao Fenglai's face.

He had overestimated this guy; he was just a show-off.

Even the most expensive dish at Fenglai Pavilion was priced at only 10 Gold Coins. What ability did this restaurant have to justify such high prices?

Such pricing was nothing but a cheap trick to attract attention.

Originally, Zhao Fenglai planned to send a few people to try the food in this new restaurant, but now he suddenly felt it wasn't necessary.

Did he think Zhao Fenglai was a fool?

Were they selling dishes as if they were treasures?

With disdain, Zhao Fenglai looked at Qi Han with a hint of arrogance in his eyes. "Kid, I've been in Star Luo City for decades. I can see through your tricks at a glance. What's the use of such high prices to attract attention? It's better to sell this place to me, and I'll teach you how to do business."

Qi Han chuckled and didn't respond, "Take your men with you."

"Heh heh, kid, I don't understand what you're saying. What does those guys outside have to do with me? They're just customers of my Fenglai Pavilion. They don't like your Small Shop, so they come here to promote Fenglai Pavilion voluntarily."

Obviously, Zhao Fenglai was unwilling to easily admit to this matter, but Qi Han had anticipated this slippery character.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, your men..." Qi Han's face showed a strange smile. "It's not me who beat them up."

"What?" Zhao Fenglai was slightly stunned, and then several familiar screams suddenly came from outside the door.

His face changed, quickly walking out of the small shop. He saw several assistants lying outside Small Shop's door, their noses swollen, faces bruised, and many injuries on their bodies, rolling on the ground in agony.

In his astonishment, Zhao Fenglai quickly scanned his surroundings.

"Looking for the enforcers? Don't bother, they've already left," a rough voice suddenly sounded. Zhao Fenglai turned around to see several disciples of the Tang Sect, dressed in white and yellow Tang Sect uniforms, walking towards him with sneers. The leader was particularly burly and snapped his fingers with a crisp sound.

The Tang Sect!

As a local bigwig in Star Luo City, how could Zhao Fenglai not recognize the Tang Sect disciples' uniforms? A hint of paleness suddenly appeared on his face.

Did he hit a brick wall?

This kid was obviously an outsider chef without any background. Why would Tang Sect disciples stand up for him? Did he have a connection with the Tang Sect? That was the number one sect on the continent!

The yellow-robed disciple in front did not make a move against Zhao Fenglai. Seeing him standing there with a pale face, trembling slightly, the disciple sneered disdainfully, waved his hand to the Tang Sect disciples behind him, and said, "Let's go. Today, I'll let you guys taste some real top-notch cuisine!"

With that, he rudely pushed past Zhao Fenglai and strode into the small shop.

Once inside, the leading disciple chuckled, "Boss, it's been a few days. Your business seems to be getting bigger and bigger." He looked around at the new shop with satisfaction and nodded, "Not bad. This place is much more spacious than the previous small shop."

"Tang Zi, Big Brother." Qi Han couldn't help but show a slight smile.

As a Limit Douluo, Tang Qianqiu had long been aware of what was happening outside, but he didn't say anything and just transmitted his voice to Qi Han before leaving.

"Don't worry, Boss Qi, Tang Zi, that little guy, has also arrived in Star Luo City. I'll let him handle it when he comes."

It was because of these words that Qi Han's expression became so strange.

Tang Zi greeted the other three disciples who came with him and sat down together. Then, he smiled and looked at Qi Han, "Boss Qi, after knowing you were coming to Star Luo City, I specially took on an escort mission from Heaven Dou City to Star Luo City, just to come and taste your craft. How about it? Isn't that thoughtful?"

With that, he introduced the disciple next to him, wearing yellow clothes, and the two disciples in white. "This is Tai Yun, a disciple of the Power Hall in Star Luo City, and these two in white are his younger brothers, Tai Feng and Tai Li. They are real brothers."

Only then did Qi Han turn his gaze to the other three disciples, smiling slightly, "Thank you for helping out earlier."

Tai Yun was older, while his two brothers were twins. Upon hearing Qi Han's words, Tai Yun smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome. Even without the Sect Master's orders, I would have intervened against such despicable scoundrels."

Tai Feng couldn't help but glance at the menu curiously. After seeing the prices, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, "Your dishes are really expensive. Are they really delicious?"

Having just punished Zhao Fenglai a bit, Qi Han was in a very good mood at the moment. He smiled slightly, "Whether they're delicious or not, why don't you try them? This meal is on me. Feel free to eat, just don't waste anything."

With these words, even Tang Zi's eyes lit up. Just disciplining a few assistants, and the boss was treating guests?

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to grab those assistants and beat them up again.

"Tang Zi, Brother, besides the dishes on the wall, there's also a special eating method called hot pot. Would you like to try it?"

There's something new?

Tang Zi's eyes suddenly lit up, but after hesitating and glancing at the egg fried rice on the wall, he shook his head, "Forget it, I haven't had egg fried rice for a while. I'll try the Crab Stuffed with Orange and the Ginkgo Biloba Dish today. As for the hot pot, I'll come back another time."

Although the main dish in the small shop had more variety now, after trying Dragon Whisker Noodle and Xiaolongbao, he still firmly chose egg fried rice.

With that said, he chuckled, "I'll be staying in Star Luo City for a few more days this time, so there's no rush."
