Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 87 An Encounter

Outside the east gate of Shrek Academy, numerous vendors lined both sides of the road, selling all sorts of things, with the most abundant being various kinds of food.

Even among the genius disciples of Shrek Academy, there are bound to be some who are greedy.

Among the vendors were many young-looking faces, mostly students from impoverished families, who came to do some small business to earn some soul coins.

The most eye-catching stall was a grilled fish stand. The stall was small, with only a metal grill, and besides the iron rack, there were only some seasonings and twenty or thirty bluefish.

The stall owner was a very young boy. However, despite his youth, a long queue had already formed in front of his stall. Behind him stood a boy and a girl, both disciples of Shrek Academy's outer court, dressed in purple school uniforms, who were huddled together, whispering something.

Needless to say, the person selling grilled fish was Huo Yuhao, and behind him were naturally Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

Not long after, a young man and a young woman arrived near the east gate of Shrek Academy.

The man was over 1.8 meters tall, with medium-length black hair tied up in a bun on top of his head, adorned with a silver-white crown. He wore a neat, light-colored outfit, cinched at the waist and cuffs, with intricate cloud patterns embroidered in gold thread at the hem. He had a refined appearance and bright, intelligent eyes.

The woman had long hair that reached her waist, delicate features, and a serene appearance.

It was Wang Nan and Zhang Lexuan who had come from the Star Luo Empire. Wang Nan had spent two days absorbing his sixth spirit ring, and by the time he and Zhang Lexuan had rested briefly in a city near the seaside port before returning to Shrek City, it was already this time.

After putting away his flying soul tool, Wang Nan walked on the road leading to the east gate of Shrek Academy and saw the queue forming there from afar.

He meditated and cultivated in front of the Sea God Pavilion for many years, so he recognized Beibei behind the stall at a glance when he got closer. It was not hard to guess who the other two people were.

Wang Nan didn't expect that after some changes, the three of them would still get together and continue selling grilled fish at the school gate.

Is it a coincidence or "divine will"?

Wang Nan and Zhang Lexuan approached together, and Bei Bei noticed something and looked up.

"Senior sister, senior brother." With her good upbringing, Beibei took the initiative to greet them.

Bei Bei was exceptionally talented and quite famous in the outer courtyard. Although her voice wasn't loud, it was still heard by many disciples queuing around her. They all turned to look at Wang Nan, wanting to see what kind of person Bei Bei was calling "senior brother" or "senior sister".

Just by looking at it, you can smell a delicious aroma coming from the oven.

While grilling the fish, Huo Yuhao secretly released his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, using his mental power to control the heat. However, the moment he looked up, his movements while grilling the fish went awry.

Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea churned, even startling the sleeping Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Xiao Yuhao, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, Brother Tianmeng. I just met someone who is very, very important to me."

"Greetings, Senior Brother." Huo Yuhao raised his hand to wipe away the tears welling up in his eyes. Wasn't the reason he agreed to let Tang Ya join Shrek Academy with the Tang Sect's exemption from the entrance exam all for the sake of this person in front of him?

Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao with some confusion. Although Huo Yuhao was still young, after spending a few days with him, he found that Huo Yuhao had a composure that was beyond his years. This was the first time he had seen Huo Yuhao show such strong emotions.

"Hello." Wang Nan nodded slightly, then looked at Huo Yuhao, "How is your mother?"

"Yes, she's fine. We... we're living near Xingluo City now, and she's doing very well." Huo Yuhao was somewhat incoherent. The spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm emanated from his spiritual sea, and the faint coolness finally calmed him down.

"That's good." Wang Nan looked up and saw that quite a few people were looking at them. "You should take good care of your guests first. Since you're here, we'll meet again sooner or later."

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao nodded, picked up the grilled fish again, but kept glancing at Wang Nan.

Wang Nan knew that Huo Yuhao was probably not at peace with being there, so he nodded to Bei Bei and left with Zhang Lexuan.

Huo Yuhao only looked away and started grilling the bluefish in his hand after the two walked into the academy gate.

"Xiao Yuhao, do you know that senior from earlier?" Tang Ya asked curiously.

"Yeah, I saw him twice when I was a kid," Huo Yuhao replied while grilling fish.

"What's his name?"

"Name?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback. Yes, he didn't seem to know the name of the senior brother he had just met.

"That senior brother is an inner court disciple named Wang Nan." Bei Bei glanced at Tang Ya. "Why are you asking about that?"

"I don't know." Tang Ya shook her head. "I don't know why, but when he looked at me just now, I felt a little scared by his gaze."

Beibei's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of doubt arose in her heart, and her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the academy.

As far as he knew, Wang Nan wasn't a fierce person; he always appeared gentle when he saw him. But Tang Ya wouldn't lie to him, so there might be other reasons behind it.

After Wang Nanhe entered the academy, he walked for a long time before he felt the gazes behind him gradually disappear.

"Do you know that student who sold grilled fish just now?" It seems Zhang Lexuan also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.

Upon hearing this, Wang Nan sighed deeply, seemingly lost in thought. "Yes, that was a pitiful child."

……

As usual, Wang Nan enjoyed a delicious dinner before returning to her dormitory to rest.

After a night, he emerged from his room at dawn the next morning, looking refreshed and full of energy.

He came to the stairs and climbed them until a room came into view.

Wang Nan raised his hand and knocked on the door, and soon a pleasant voice came from inside.

"Wait a mininute."

The door opened, and Ma Xiaotao peeked out, raising an eyebrow slightly upon seeing Wang Nan.

"Come in and have a seat."

"No need. Do you remember what I said before?"

"You've already obtained your sixth spirit ring?" Ma Xiaotao asked excitedly.

"Yes, this time it was quite fruitful."

"So you came here this time just for my martial soul?" Although Wang Nan's meaning was obvious, she still confirmed it again because the problem that had been bothering her for so long finally had a chance to be completely resolved.

What is your current soul power level?

"I'm already level 65." Ma Xiaotao paused, then looked up at Wang Nan. "Am I cultivating too fast?"

"No, then it should be fine."

Each time Wang Nan absorbed a soul ring, his soul power increased by two levels compared to other soul masters. With the addition of a 100,000-year soul bone and a full year of deep meditation, he finally managed to catch up with Ma Xiaotao. Now he is confident that he can resolve Ma Xiaotao's matter.
