Su Chengyu was quite used to such circumstances. He had become quite well-known throughout the six provinces of the east, and consequently, it was not unusual for him to be observed and discussed when he showed up in the dining hall.
While getting food, Su Chengyu encountered Pan Xiaofeng, whom he had met once before. This fellow was the chief minister of Danyang Dragon Soul Department and was also a contestant this time.
Upon seeing Su Chengyu, Pan Xiaofeng consciously lowered his head and avoided him, not daring to meet Su Chengyu's gaze.
After getting his food, Su Chengyu sat together with Qin Muge to eat. Qin Muge had gone out with some others the previous night and while they ate, he told Su Chengyu about the fun they had had, regretting that Su Chengyu had not joined in.
