Chapter 15: One Year Later
Just as Xiao Wu was incredibly embarrassed, her toes nearly curling into the floor, Sun Yu sat cross-legged on the bed and chuckled casually.
Hearing Sun Yu's reminder, Xiao Wu finally remembered this matter, then immediately excitedly took over the conversation.
"That's right, Sun Yu is right! Xiao Wu Jie just hasn't had time to get the money yet. You all wait here for me; once I get the money and come back, I'll definitely treat you all to a good meal! Especially you, Sun Yu, I'll make sure to order two extra dishes for you later!"
With that, Xiao Wu jumped off the bed, put on her shoes, and rushed towards the Spirit Hall branch.
Watching Xiao Wu leave in a hurry, the other occupants of Dorm 7 looked at each other, their faces full of bewilderment.
Then, they instinctively all looked towards Sun Yu.
"Huh?! Why are you looking at me?"
Sun Yu asked, puzzled, when he saw everyone's gaze turn towards him.
"Nothing, it's just that I suddenly have a very strange feeling, which is that compared to Xiao Wu Jie, you seem more like the boss of our Dorm 7...."
Wang Sheng said, rubbing his head without a clear reason.
The others, hearing Wang Sheng say this, also nodded slightly as if they understood.
After all, Xiao Wu's attitude towards them was completely different from her attitude towards Sun Yu.
Although Sun Yu also called Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu Jie.
However, some of Sun Yu's words could always subtly make Xiao Wu obey.
For example, Sun Yu didn't like to be disturbed when he was cultivating.
Xiao Wu never disturbed him when he was cultivating.
When interacting with Xiao Wu, Sun Yu did not show a respectful demeanor like them; instead, he showed an expression of watching a younger sister play.
Moreover, although Sun Yu always came and went alone, he never worried about being ordered around by Xiao Wu Jie.
He could always stay in his own little World and be alone.
"....."
Looking at the nodding crowd, Sun Yu was stunned.
Was he that obvious? Even they could tell?!
Then Sun Yu frowned slightly and said.
"What are you talking about? Your boss is Xiao Wu Jie, how could it be me? I'm just a trash with innate spirit power level one. It's not me, it's not me, don't talk nonsense!
If these words were heard by others with ulterior motives, the matter would be serious, and in severe cases, it could even lead to the Notting Dynasty, which Xiao Wu Jie had so painstakingly established, splitting again into two factions: nobles and work-study students.
If it really turned out that way in the end, wouldn't we have completely wasted Xiao Wu Jie's efforts? By then, how could we face Xiao Wu Jie's hard work for us work-study students!
And most importantly, you wouldn't want this life where you don't have to work but still get paid to disappear because of your big mouths, would you...."
Hearing Sun Yu's words, the children, who were still work-study students at this moment, all trembled with fear on their faces.
Then they all quickly shook their heads, indicating that they would never go out and talk nonsense.
After listening to Sun Yu's explanation, they finally realized that the consequences of their unintentional words could be so severe if heard by others.
The World of nobles is truly terrifying!
Of course, the most important thing was the disappearance of the benefit of getting paid without working.
If this benefit really disappeared, they would be too late to cry.
"Alright, since everyone knows how serious the consequences of having a big mouth are, we must guard our mouths and remember not to talk nonsense anymore! Everyone, disperse...."
Sun Yu looked at the children, who were now full of fear, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity and emphasis.
Just to strengthen their impression.
Subsequently, the children in Dorm 7, at Sun Yu's instruction, all returned to their beds and silently entered a state of cultivation.
And Sun Yu also smiled with relief at this scene.
Hmph, a bunch of brats, scared like this by a few words, but if it weren't for that tempting benefit, I might not have been able to convince them so quickly...
Sun Yu muttered to himself.
Then he re-entered his cultivation state.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu happened to meet Tang San when she went to collect her gold coin, so the two walked back together, chatting and laughing.
As soon as Xiao Wu returned after collecting her allowance, she immediately fulfilled her promise to treat all the work-study students to a big meal.
Later, during the ordering process, she even specifically ordered two extra large chicken drumsticks for Sun Yu.
While Tang San, who was closer to Xiao Wu, only got one!
This strange scene also attracted many curious glances from the work-study students.
After all, it was obvious to anyone that Xiao Wu and Tang San had a better relationship, but when it came to adding chicken drumsticks, Xiao Wu Jie seemed to favor Sun Yu more.
Although everyone was confused and puzzled, remembering what Sun Yu had just said, for the stable development of the Notting Dynasty and their work-study student benefits, they all pretended not to notice and chatted about their daily lives.
Just like that, Sun Yu's life within Notting Academy completely stabilized.
And everything was just as he had anticipated; after Xiao Wu ascended the throne.
Sun Yu only needed to spend an entire morning attending theoretical classes, and then after lunch, the rest of the time could be used for cultivation.
This also significantly boosted Sun Yu's cultivation speed, and his level soared with the passage of time!
And just like in the original work, Tang San would go to the blacksmith shop to forge in the afternoon, so Sun Yu could use the afternoon to find a secluded spot in the back mountain to cultivate martial arts like Mystic Spirit Body, which were not easily discovered.
As for the staff techniques, because they were too easily recognized, Sun Yu could only temporarily stop cultivating them.
Soon, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Notting Academy, Dorm 7.
After a year of intense and exciting study, it was finally time for the holiday to return home.
At this moment, Tang San was packing his things, preparing to go home and see his father!
A year unseen, deeply missed, Tang San looked at the wine and a brand new forging hammer in his bundle.
He secretly sighed, his father should be very happy to see these...
"Hey, Little San, why are you going back too? Can't you stay in the dorm and keep me company?"
Looking at the smiling Tang San, Xiao Wu lay on the bed, her two fair little feet dangling idly as she murmured.
Hearing this, Tang San said with a wry smile.
"Xiao Wu, stop messing around. I definitely have to go back for the holiday; after all, my dad is waiting for me at home. What about you? It's been a year, don't you miss home, don't you miss your family?"
Hearing Tang San ask this, Xiao Wu's pink eyes dimmed quite a bit as she thought of her mother.
However, because Tang San was currently focused on packing his luggage, he didn't notice Xiao Wu's moment of sadness.
"Oh, right, where's Sun Yu!? Aren't you and Little San from the same village?! Are you going back with Little San?"
Xiao Wu clearly didn't want to continue the conversation, so she immediately changed the subject.
And hearing Xiao Wu actually start talking about Sun Yu, Tang San subconsciously frowned slightly.
