Struggling with the heavens, the earth, and people—there's endless joy in it. Encountering a rival is also like finding a confidant. As the saying goes, 'Great talents are loneliest,' to meet one's match is actually just like encountering a bosom friend.
Of course, Tangyu doesn't regard Zhou Tao as a rival; he is far from qualified. At most, he is just a minor diversion when bored. Naturally, Tangyu knew when Zhou Tao and his companions came over, they surely didn't have good intentions, but he was also happy to play along with them. After all, he didn't know anyone else here, and just eating in silence would be dreadfully dull.
Besides, when provocation comes knocking, there's no reason for Tangyu to show weakness.
