Chapter 102: Two Limit Douluos
Although Ji Yunruo had not been in the Tang Sect for a long time, she had already heard many legendary stories about the Sect Master from other disciples. Like other Tang Sect disciples, the Sect Master was the person Ji Yunruo admired the most.
This was Ji Yunruo's first time meeting the Sect Master, and hearing the Sect Master speak to her in a gentle manner made her feel dizzy, as if she were dreaming.
Seeing the somewhat dazed expression of the young female disciple in front of him, Tang Qianqiu just smiled faintly and did not rush her to answer his question.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, I came because the treatment at the little shop is good, and it happens to be suitable for disciples," Ji Yunruo said, her face slightly red due to nervousness.
"I heard that the little shop provides free working meals?" Tang Qianqiu turned his gaze to the price list on the side, casually glanced at it, and nodded knowingly. "Indeed, the benefits are good."
At this moment, Yin Shuang had already helped Ji Yunruo pack the first batch of takeout to be delivered. Ji Yunruo prepared her backpack and then hesitated as she looked at Tang Qianqiu.
"Go ahead," Tang Qianqiu smiled. He felt a bit fond of this obedient female disciple. "Don't delay your work."
"Yes!" Ji Yunruo bowed and then left the little shop.
"Let's find a place to sit," Tang Qianqiu looked at the layout of the little shop and casually sat down at a table beside him. "This place is fine."
A table only had four seats, and the four hall masters of the Tang Sect fell silent for a moment. Then, the other three all looked at Tai Lei.
Tai Lei rolled his eyes unkindly, scratched his head, and said, "Sect Master, I'll sit at the next table."
These three guys always bully me, old Tai Lei.
Forget it, I'm not comfortable eating in front of the Sect Master anyway. Sitting on the side and eating by myself is more enjoyable, and I can eat more elbows.
Let me think, should I eat the fish belly-stuffed lamb next time or not?
Forget it, maybe next time.
Fu Ya quickly walked to the side of the four, and the four hall masters did not place an order. Instead, they looked at Tang Qianqiu in silence, causing Tang Qianqiu to smile involuntarily. "What are you looking at me for? I've never eaten here before. You guys go ahead and order; I'll take a look first."
Hearing this, Yu Hua nodded without hesitation. Without being polite, he just glanced at the price list on the wall. A surprised expression appeared on his face, "Oh, there are three new dishes again? Fu Ya, introduce them to us."
Having dined at the little shop every day, Yu Hua had already become familiar with Fu Ya.
Fu Ya smiled faintly and began to introduce, "Senior members, these three dishes are the new specialties of the little shop. Dragon Whisker Noodles and Xiaolongbao are both main courses, with a quantity similar to that of a small portion of Egg Fried Rice. Xiaolongbao comes in a set of ten, which can be shared with others. As for Crystal Sugar Hawthorn, it is a dessert. Today, the little shop has a promotion, and all customers dining here can receive a free screwer of Crystal Sugar Hawthorn."
Fu Ya did not lower her voice as she explained to the Tang Sect hall masters; in fact, she indirectly explained it to the other customers in the little shop.
"Oh?" Yu Hua's eyes showed a bit of surprise. "I thought there was only Egg Fried Rice as the main course in this little shop. I didn't expect there to be new main courses."
After a brief pause, Yu Hua spoke, "Give me a serving of Dragon Whisker Noodles, and add an order of Smashed Cucumber. I probably can't finish the Xiaolongbao by myself; Old Zhao, how about sharing a basket with me?"
Zhao Yunsheng, sitting beside him, nodded. "Sure, I'll also have a serving of Dragon Whisker Noodles and add Braised Pork Stomach with Chicken."
Nie Yu smiled and said, "I'll take Dongpo Pork Knuckle, Dragon Whisker Noodles, a basket of Xiaolongbao, and Tomato Beef Brisket."
With a larger appetite, Nie Yu had no worries about not being able to finish his order.
Seated at the neighboring table, Tai Lei quickly made up his mind. "Three servings of Dongpo Pork Knuckle, one serving of Dragon Whisker Noodles, and one basket of Xiaolongbao."
As a meat lover, Tai Lei thought, how can one portion of Dongpo Pork Knuckle be enough?
After the four hall masters placed their orders, Tang Qianqiu also decided what he wanted. He looked at Fu Ya and smiled, "Little girl, bring me a serving of Fish Belly Stuffed with Lamb and another serving of Dragon Whisker Noodles."
Tang Qianqiu's martial Spirit was Blue Silver Grass, so his appetite was normal. Although he wanted to try every dish, the little shop had a rule against wasting food, and he was willing to comply.
Different powerful individuals had different personalities. Despite possessing the power to break all worldly rules, Tang Qianqiu disdained such behavior.
He still remembered the words his deceased mentor had taught him.
"To possess powerful strength is to break existing rules. Those who merely strive to prove themselves as strong by breaking rules are weak. Those who have the power to break rules but still abide by them are true strong individuals because they not only possess strength but also have a heart strong enough to restrain that power."
Moreover, occasionally experiencing life like an ordinary person was also a good experience for him.
Tang Qianqiu often traveled around the continent in the name of inspecting various branches, seeking a carefree life.
Having finally come to Shrek City, he intended to stay for a while. The new dishes at the little shop could be tried at any time; there was no rush.
However, speaking of which, this visit to Shrek City might not avoid encountering a certain annoying old fellow.
Well, it seems that what you fear most will come to pass.
As Tang Qianqiu's thoughts flickered, a familiar figure walked into the little shop. The slightly stooped figure straightened up a bit upon seeing Tang Qianqiu, and their eyes met directly.
In the pupils of both, brilliant galaxies spun, and the sun and moon rose and set.
In just an instant, it felt like thousands of years had passed. The two simultaneously withdrew their gazes. The elderly figure walked straight toward Tang Qianqiu, casually sitting at the table next to him, the one where Tai Lei was.
"Mind if I sit here?"
The old man glanced at Tai Lei and spoke with a smile. Tai Lei's face first froze, then he stiffened suddenly, apparently recognizing the identity of the old man. His pupils trembled wildly, and his desperate gaze instantly turned to his Sect Master.
"Go ahead."
Tang Qianqiu's voice was calm, and Tai Lei's expression changed dramatically.
Damn, Sect Master, please don't. I just want to quietly munch on my elbow!
Save me, save me, save me!
In contrast to Tang Qianqiu's grand golden robe, the old man wore a simple gray linen robe, and his slightly hunched figure bore the deep wrinkles of time.
But after he spoke, the four hall masters sitting at the table next to Tang Qianqiu simultaneously changed their expressions.
This was because, before this old man spoke, the four current renowned Title Douluo powerhouses had not sensed anyone approaching them.
The other party seemed to appear out of nowhere like a ghost, suddenly appearing beside them.
But thinking of the old man's identity, the four hall masters unexpectedly had a ludicrous thought in their minds: "If it's him, then it's quite normal for things to be this way."
Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, Limit Douluo Qi Poxiao, the Strong Cloud Douluo.
Who would have thought that such a simple, farmer-like old man was the current number one powerhouse on the Douluo Continent?
