44: A gathering in Soto CityAs soon as she entered the Rose Hotel, Xiao Wu felt uneasy.
"Third brother, why do I feel like someone is always watching us from behind?"
Tang San didn't say anything, his Purple Demon Pupil moved quietly, and soon he found Qi Tian who was drinking tea in the teahouse.
The latter did not hide his intentions and even waved to Tang San.
"Xiao Wu, it's Qi Tian, he has also come to Soto City." Tang San said.
After hearing this, Xiao Wu's physical and mental fatigue disappeared, and her ears, which had been drooping, instantly straightened up.
She waved her fist and said with a smile, "Great, it seems that he is also going to Shrek Academy. The master really didn't lie to us, he is really coming. Third brother, when we get to the academy, we must compete with him, and then we will definitely take revenge."
Tang San said lovingly, "Xiao Wu, don't rush. Teacher said that my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul will undergo a qualitative change after reaching level 30. I am only level 29 now. After entering the academy, I must break through level 30 as soon as possible. It won't be too late to compete with him after I obtain the third soul ring."
Although Xiao Wu was reluctant, Qi Tian had already reached level 30 soul power when he left the academy. Now that he was a soul master, he was at a disadvantage in a competition with him. Moreover, there was an essential difference between a thousand-year soul skill and a hundred-year soul skill.
"Well, let him live happily for a few more days."
As they spoke, the two walked to the hotel counter and said, "Please open two rooms for us."
The waiter shook his head and said, "Sir, we only have one room left. Please take a look."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu blushed and said softly, "Third brother, let's squeeze into one room."
The waiter was not surprised by this. After all, girls tend to be more reserved in this regard. Just as he was about to get the room cards for the two, a sudden voice interrupted his action, "I say, this room should be ours."
…
Inside the teahouse, the waiter asked with a smile: "Dear guest, are you from out of town?"
"Why do you think so?" Qi Tian picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The waiter said, "Dear guest, you may not know that the tea in our teahouse is the most famous in Soto City, but as you can see, you are the only guest in the teahouse today."
"What big festival is today?"
"Guest, today is the annual food festival in the city. Our Soto City is the granary of the Barak Kingdom and even the Tiandou Empire. Many grain merchants flock to the city during the harvest season. Two hundred years ago, a well-known wealthy businessman came to Soto City before the grain harvest. In order to kill time, he simply held a food festival."
"Later, this tradition was preserved. Every year before the autumn harvest, a food festival is held in the city. If guests rush over now, they may be able to have dinner. This event will end after dark. Since you are an outsider, you must not miss it."
"Yeah?"
No wonder even the Rose Hotel is full. It seems that a lot of people have come to Soto City during this period.
While Qi Tian was thinking, Dai Mubai and Tang San in the Rose Hotel had already started fighting.
After learning about Dai Mubai's soul skills, he followed the guy's instructions and quickly found the street where the food festival was held.
Shops are lined up on both sides of the street. Both local and foreign businesses display their best dishes.
The aroma of food wafted in every corner of the street, but unfortunately, the wind direction was wrong today, otherwise Qi Tian would have come here by smelling the food.
Man is iron and rice is steel, if you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry. As a foodie, Qi Tian really likes this kind of atmosphere.
"Douluo Continent's Food Festival, let me see what delicious food there is."
The streets were crowded with people, and there were long queues in front of almost every store.
After choosing a store that suited his taste, Qi Tian immediately lined up at the end of the queue.
His luck was bad because not long after, a customer who was dining suddenly stood up and accused the store of poor hygiene and the presence of dead insects in the food.
But the shop owner looked through the store several times and still couldn't find any trace of the bug. He wanted to keep the matter quiet so that he could continue his business. But unexpectedly, the customer still refused to give in and started to yell.
The result is predictable. The city guards soon intervened and the store was forced to close.
"What a bummer!"
Qi Tian kicked a stone on the roadside out of boredom. Suddenly, a figure quickly passed him and ran away into the distance.
Then, a young girl squeezed out from the crowd and shouted loudly:
"Stop, give me back my things!"
"Something was stolen?" Qi Tian was slightly stunned.
The direction the girl came from was exactly the shop she had just visited. Qi Tian looked around and saw that the original troublemaker had disappeared. The city guards were looking around, probably looking for him.
"Oh, a gang crime."
It was obvious that the man just now deliberately attracted the attention of the diners in the restaurant so that his accomplices could take the opportunity to steal other people's property.
Just as Qi Tian was wondering whether to go after her, the girl grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, can you help me get my purse back?"
The girl was dressed gorgeously and was obviously the daughter of a wealthy family. No wonder those guys chose her as their target.
Qi Tian nodded slightly. After all, he was a caring citizen.
Besides, there was no spiritual power fluctuation in the thief, so it wouldn't take much effort to catch him.
He jumped onto the eaves of a nearby house. Standing at a high place, he had an excellent view, and he immediately caught the guy who had passed by him earlier.
"Qingyun Step."
Relying on the speed-up of his body movements and soul skills, Qi Tian quickly caught the thief.
After taking back the purse, Qi Tian exposed the man's deeds and asked the enthusiastic people to hand it over to the city guards.
…
Looking at the recovered purse, the girl said excitedly, "Thank you, brother. Thank you so much."
Qi Tian shrugged and said, "You should check whether the money is missing."
The girl ignored him and took out a gold soul card from her bag and stuffed it into Qi Tian's hand. "Thank you, big brother. This card is your reward. By the way, what's your name, big brother?"
The amount you pay is one thousand gold soul coins. Didn't you see the amount on the card?
However, Qi Tian did not refuse the reward for his bravery and immediately put it in his arms.
"My name is Qi Tian. Don't walk around the streets with so much money in your arms. It's easy for people to target you."
"Thanks for the reminder. My name is Ning Rongrong. Qi Tian, can we be friends?"
Ning Rongrong!
Qi Tian's expression froze instantly.
He is rich and likes to show off. His personality is indeed very similar to Ning Rongrong.
Even if he hadn't taken action just now, the people sent by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to secretly protect her would probably have taken action.
The most important thing is that Qi Tian doesn't want to know her.
Don't be fooled by her ladylike image now. Once she feels she has become familiar with you, her true nature as a little witch will be exposed.
Qi Tian is not the nanny of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, how could he possibly play house with her!
