Wei Ming's face was covered in porridge, and it was extremely hot. Although this bit of heat wasn't enough to hurt him, the humiliation he had suffered was unprecedented. For a proud person, enduring this kind of humiliation was perhaps worse than death.
Wei Ming was undoubtedly proud, but at this moment, he could be said to have done nothing. He merely stood up from the ground.
His hair, face, and even neck were covered in porridge. He looked pathetic and ridiculous, but he was in no hurry to wipe it off. When he stood up, his expression had already returned to its usual indifference. Although this cold expression also looked very comical under the decoration of a bowl of porridge.
He didn't pay attention to Lu Ping's group of four who had seen his sorry state, nor did he chase after the woman. He turned around and walked into the porridge shop, the one that had just been thrown out. Then, in a calm tone, he said to the owner of the porridge shop, "Give me a bowl of shrimp porridge. I'm waiting for someone."
The owner revealed a surprised expression. Clearly, he hadn't expected this young man to have such a reaction. He was still in a daze when Wei Ming asked again, "Can I?"
"Wait a moment." The owner came back to his senses and returned to the kitchen, quickly bringing out another bowl of shrimp porridge.
"Thank you." Wei Ming bowed slightly, then took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and carefully wiped off the shrimp porridge on his face, hair, clothes, and neck.
Then, he began to eat the porridge. He ate it very calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Ping's group of four looked at each other. Even Siffin, who was good at judging a person's inner thoughts from their movements and expressions, couldn't guess what Wei Ming was thinking at this moment.
"Do we still want to eat porridge?" Su Tang asked.
"Of course. Aren't you guys hungry?" Lu Ping said.
"Let's go." Morin said and was the first to walk in. Then, the four of them sat at a table and ordered four bowls of porridge. During this time, they still constantly looked up and down at Wei Ming, as if he was a pickle that went with the porridge. The more they looked at the porridge, the more flavorful it would be.
Footsteps could be heard from the street outside. Two more people had arrived at the porridge shop.
The two people outside the door were stunned. The four people in the shop were also stunned. Wei Ming was still calm. He stood up and bowed to the people outside the door. "Little Castellan, you've arrived."
Wei Tianqi and Wei Yang. It was actually the two of them who had come, but Wei Ying was still nowhere to be found. Throughout the entire journey, he had not walked with anyone at all. The only time he had appeared was when he attacked last night.
"Why are they here?" Seeing Wei Ming, Wei Tianqi felt much more at ease. He could not wait to get back at Lu Ping.
However, Wei Ming didn't turn around to look at the four of them. He just bowed and replied, "It's probably because the shrimp congee here is very good, and they happen to know about it."
"With them around, no matter how good the porridge is, I won't have any appetite." Wei Tianqi said.
"Then, should we pack it up and take it away?" Wei Ming seemed to be asking for Wei Tianqi's opinion.
"What?" Wei Tianqi almost thought that he had heard wrongly. With Wei Ming's intelligence, he didn't believe that he couldn't tell what he meant. But to pack it up and take it away, he actually chose to back down? Once again, he chose to back down in front of these fellows?
Wei Tianqi wanted to explode, but when he thought of Wei Ming's watertight style of doing things, he felt that there might be some hidden meaning behind it.
"Forget it." He immediately endured it. In the end, he still believed that as long as Wei Ming was around, there would definitely be a satisfactory result.
Two bowls of shrimp congee were quickly served. Wei Tianqi ate two mouthfuls and was in a good mood. Perhaps it was because the taste of the shrimp congee was really good, or perhaps it was because after seeing Wei Ming, the uneasiness in his heart was finally swept away a lot.
Then, he began to wait, waiting for Wei Ming's arrangements, waiting for Wei Ming's means. But soon, he saw that Lu Ping and the other three had already paid the bill and were ready to leave.
Wei Tianqi looked at Wei Ming, who was seriously eating his porridge. Wei Ming was calm and collected.
This was what his father, City Lord Wei Zhong, admired the most about Wei Ming. Wei Tianqi realized that perhaps he should learn more from Wei Ming.
What was his arrangement?
Wei Tianqi guessed and looked forward to it. Then, he saw Lu Ping and the other three walk out of the porridge shop and gradually disappear into the street, while Wei Ming was still eating his porridge.
Tianwei Qi waited patiently for a while and finally confirmed that Wei Ming really didn't have any arrangements. He immediately felt unhappy.
"Explain," Wei Tianqi said.
Wei Ming didn't ask "explain what". He was a smart person, and it was always easier to talk to smart people because he knew exactly what explanation Wei Tianqi wanted.
"We have things to do, and it's not efficient to cause unnecessary trouble," Wei Ming said.
It sounded like a perfunctory excuse, but to Wei Tianqi and the entire City Lord's Mansion, this explanation was more than enough. There was no better explanation than this.
Because the City Lord Residence paid attention to efficiency. If it wasn't efficient, they wouldn't do it. This was their logic. Wei Ming was doing things according to the City Lord Residence's logic. Even Wei Tianqi couldn't say anything.
This was also the reason why Wei Ming was able to calm down so quickly. When the porridge splashed on his face, he realized that he had done something that was extremely inefficient and caused unnecessary trouble.
This kind of thing should end here.
So he immediately returned to his original rhythm and returned to the porridge shop, waiting for Wei Tianqi and the others to meet up. This was the place where they had agreed to meet.
So when Wei Tianqi hinted for him to target Lu Ping and the other three, he kept his calm. He wouldn't let his emotions go out of control again. He, who had always been meticulous in his actions, seemed to be a little uneasy because his plan last night was ruined. He was always successful in doing things, and it was always smooth. He didn't expect that a small setback would have such a big impact on him.
Such a mistake, once was enough for him to learn a lesson. He was a smart person.
Wei Tianqi, who had nothing to say, could only continue to eat his porridge. As for Lu Ping and the other three, after walking through the street, they also stopped and were puzzled.
They were also waiting, waiting for the City Lord Residence to act up, waiting for the City Lord Residence to find trouble with them, but they didn't expect the other party to have no reaction at all. They walked all the way until they disappeared, and they didn't encounter any trouble.
"What's going on?" Morin scratched his head. His medical skills had made mistakes many times, and this was an inference based on the "experience of an assassin." How could it be inaccurate?
"It seems that he doesn't want to cause trouble." In the end, it was Siffin who, after carefully studying and analyzing Wei Ming's mentality, made an inference that was close to the truth.
"Then, should we still go back?" Su Tang looked at Lu Ping. Lu Ping originally wanted to take the initiative to talk to Wei Ming, but he was dissuaded by Morin's "experience of an assassin." Things like "strike after strike" and so on. In the end, he still didn't see where Wei Ming was.
"Forget it, I really can't walk anymore!" Morin was frightened by Su Tang's suggestion.
"Then in the future!" Lu Ping didn't insist.
Morin heaved a sigh of relief. Just when he said that he couldn't walk anymore, he quickly recalled the scene of Lu Ping carrying Su Tang and moving forward. He wondered if this guy would immediately carry him on his shoulder and walk back. Fortunately, such a terrible thing didn't happen.
"Let's find a place to stay first. Tomorrow, we can go to Zhiling City and go to Amaterasu College," Siffin said.
That night, everyone basically spent the night in Wangshan Town. When they set off the next morning, they met again at the town gate, and then walked in the direction of Zhiling City.
Only then did the students of Gorge Peak Academy suddenly realize a problem.
They were forced to go to Zhiling City's Bipolar Academy to participate in the examination because of the collapse of the Tower of Soul. But what were the four from Zhenfeng College going to do? They actually followed them all the way?
