Chapter 170: International Student

Parting like snow like flowers, meeting like flowers better than snow.

In the season of flowers better than snow, on the campus of a foreign land, Zhang Xingyu met his best friend Zhu Dafu again.

Compared to when they parted three years ago, Zhu Dafu had grown an inch taller and fatter by a circle.

In the Lake Pavilion, a big fat man who was over 1.8 meters tall and weighed over two hundred pounds was stunned, twisting his head.

His fat was shaking, his fat face was twisted, his upper lip was tightly biting his lower lip, and tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"Zhu Fatty, seeing your brother, are you very surprised!" Zhang Xingyu patted his shoulder.

"Brother Xingyu, is it you? Am I not dreaming?" Zhu Dafu muttered to himself.

"If it's not me, who else could it be? If you don't believe me, why don't you pinch your thigh and try?" Zhang Xingyu laughed.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out.

"Slap!"

Immediately after, Zhu Dafu's fat face was slapped hard by someone.

Zhu Dafu was stunned.

Zhang Xingyu was speechless.

This kid, I told you to pinch yourself, who told you to pinch the tender little girl beside you?

The little girl ran away crying, limping.

Zhang Xingyu tapped Zhu Dafu on the head: "Why don't you hurry up and chase her!"

Zhu Dafu shook his head.

He stood up, circled Zhang Xingyu three times, and then hugged Zhang Xingyu.

"Brother Xingyu, you really didn't die. That's great, that's great!"

Zhang Xingyu's old face flushed red, and he hurriedly broke free from Zhu Dafu's bear hug.

"Zhu Fatty, three years without seeing you, you've made quite some progress. By the way, why are you here?"

As the saying goes, a long drought meets sweet rain, meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Brothers reunited, naturally there was a lot to say.

In the Lake Pavilion, the two told each other about things after parting.

Zhu Dafu said: "That day, Sister-in-law Yunxi returned to Gold Money Island alone. She brought back the antidote for the demon poison, and also brought back the news that you were knocked into the seabed by an old Yuan Ying monster. After one day, the beast tide retreated, and everyone left the island to look for you. However, we looked for more than ten days and couldn't find you. The students all said you were already dead. Hu Si and I didn't believe it. You are blessed and have a great life, you definitely wouldn't die. After a few more days, the academy sent a flying boat to pick up the students who were out training back to the academy..."

After listening to Zhu Dafu's account, Zhang Xingyu asked: "How did you get here?"

Zhu Dafu rubbed his nose and answered embarrassedly: "Isn't the Immortal-Demon War broken out? My father entrusted someone to let me come here to study abroad. My father said, this place is far from the West He Niu Continent, it's safe!"

Zhang Xingyu was speechless.

However, being able to see Zhu Dafu, he was still very happy.

Zhang Xingyu asked again: "How are Brother Hu Si, Tang Yunxi, and Bai Xiaosheng?"

Zhu Dafu nodded.

"Not long after returning from the Ten Thousand Demon Sea, Sister-in-law Yunxi left the academy; I heard she returned to the Central Universe Immortal Continent, and there is no news of her now. Brother Hu Si cultivated to the tenth level of Qi Refining; he joined the Southern Toad Continent's volunteer immortal army at the end of the year and went to the West He Niu Continent; Bai Xiaosheng cultivated to the twelfth level of Qi Refining; he founded the Xuantian Bagua Building two years ago and earned quite a lot of money by buying gossip news; my sister and brother-in-law both stayed in Nanhua City, and my father entrusted someone to find a job for my brother-in-law at the recruitment office of the Nanyue Kingdom Immortal Army."

Zhang Xingyu nodded and asked again: "How is my beautiful master? And other senior brothers and sisters?"

"After the news of your death reached the academy, your beautiful master never smiled again, and never accepted any more apprentices. A year ago, I heard that her sect sent a message, and she returned to the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect."

"What about other senior brothers and sisters? Like Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, have they all entered the Foundation Establishment stage?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

Zhu Dafu shook his head: "Senior Brother Fang Shiwen was attacked by unidentified personnel not long after returning to the academy. Senior Brother's dantian was damaged, and his cultivation stayed at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. After graduation, he was hired by the academy and became an employee of the academy's logistics department. Fifth Senior Brother's cultivation made great progress; two years ago, he entered the Foundation Establishment stage and was accepted into the Lijiang Sword Sect, a major immortal sect in the Southern Toad Continent. As for Senior Sister Ouyang, her cultivation reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining; she stayed in the academy, continued to study arrays, and became an array lecturer. As for your rival Long Xiaotian, his cultivation is still at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. I heard that Vice Dean Long entrusted many people to send him to a small sect to cultivate."

This chat lasted for half a day.

At noon, Zhu Dafu stood up and said he wanted to set up a banquet at the international student restaurant to calm Zhang Xingyu and the three.

The international student restaurant was at the east gate of the academy, a two-story small building.

First-floor hall, second-floor elegant pavilion.

Just as they arrived at the door, they happened to run into several young men in gorgeous clothes coming to dine.

Seeing the beautiful Meng Ruyan at the door, they were like evil dogs seeing meat bones, swallowing saliva mouthful by mouthful.

Another group of pig brothers.

Zhang Xingyu found it a bit funny.

Beside him, Meng Ruyan frowned in disgust.

A fat man wearing a golden crown and a purple robe was the first to wake up.

He wiped his saliva with his sleeve and asked Meng Ruyan softly: "Is this junior sister a newcomer? My name is Wang Jinbao, the prince of the Jinshi Kingdom in the West He Niu Continent."

Meng Ruyan did not answer.

Only seeing her jade mouth open slightly: "Get lost!"

Words follow the law.

Wang Jinbao fell to the ground in response, and then rolled three times on the ground.

The remaining pig brothers were stunned, looking at Meng Ruyan with more fear than greed in their eyes.

Zhang Xingyu smiled.

A bunch of idiots, flirting with girls without looking at the target!

A beauty from an immortal sect at the Golden Core stage, is that something you pig brothers with low cultivation can flirt with?

Just entering the hall, someone ran down the stairs from the second floor *dong dong dong dong*.

This person came to Zhu Dafu's side, grabbed Zhu Dafu's sleeve and said: "Zhu Dafu, today is the Third Prince's birthday, and all our fellow countrymen from the Southern Toad Continent are here to celebrate for him. Where did you run off to, we've been looking for you for half a day."

After saying this, he bowed to Zhang Xingyu and the others: "These must be your friends, let's go together."

When speaking, he looked at Meng Ruyan intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhu Dafu looked at Zhang Xingyu: "Brother Xingyu, what do you think?"

Zhang Xingyu asked: "What kind of people are they?"

"They are international students sent by various countries in the Southern Toad Continent."

Zhang Xingyu nodded: "Then let's go together."

Thinking that they were all fellow countrymen from the Southern Toad Continent, Zhang Xingyu didn't refuse.

The group went up to the second floor and arrived in a spacious elegant room.

There were already seven or eight young men and women sitting in the elegant room.

These people were all dressed gorgeously and were imposing.

Sitting directly opposite the door was a young man with powder on his face and a golden crown and golden robe.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu and the others enter, he laughed loudly: "Zhu Dafu, you kid came late, you should punish yourself with three cups later."

After laughing, he waved to Zhang Xingyu and the three: "The three of you must be Zhu Dafu's friends, please sit down together."

After Zhang Xingyu and the three sat down, the man gave a look to a woman in red beside him.

The woman in red understood and called out to Zhang Xingyu and the others: "Zhu Dafu, today is His Highness the Third Prince's birthday, but you and your friends came late, you should punish yourself with three cups first."

"This..." Zhu Dafu looked at Zhang Xingyu.

Zhang Xingyu looked at the woman and smiled: "May I ask how to address this beauty?"

The woman fiddled with her hair with her fingers and said proudly: "I am Princess Shiyu of the Yuhua Kingdom."

Zhang Xingyu nodded, then pointed to the messy bowls and dishes on the table and said: "Inviting people? Naturally, you have to wait for the guests to arrive before starting the banquet. You have all eaten and drank almost enough, and then you call people to invite us. May I ask Princess, what kind of hospitality is this?"

Princess Shiyu was speechless, then looked at the Third Prince.

The Third Prince's face stiffened, but after a moment, he returned to normal.

Only seeing him laugh loudly: "Someone, restart the banquet. Friends, it's rare for you to come to celebrate my birthday, naturally I must let everyone eat to their heart's content."

Zhang Xingyu nodded: "Since His Highness the Prince says so, then we won't be polite!"

After speaking, he handed the menu to Meng Ruyan beside him.

Meng Ruyan shook her head.

Seeing this, the Third Prince smiled at Meng Ruyan: "This beauty, we can meet here, that is fate. Beauty, whatever you like to eat, whatever you like to drink, just order! Don't worry, this Prince will pay the bill, this Prince has plenty of spirit stones."

When speaking, his pair of eyeballs never left Meng Ruyan's pretty face.

Meng Ruyan frowned in disgust. ===== CHAPTER 171 =====
