Chapter 33: Xiao Wu's accusations with hidden intentions
Early this morning, the time for new student admissions arrived. After bidding farewell to Old Jack, Sun Yu, who had left five gold coins for Old Jack to improve their family's meals, set off alone towards Nuoding City.
Now, as a Spirit Master, Sun Yu no longer needed Old Jack to accompany him.
With a Wind Travel Talisman affixed, Sun Yu, traveling at full speed, would only need three hours to reach Nuoding City!
He didn't have to walk for half a day like before.
As noon approached, Sun Yu returned to Notting Academy.
His primary goal in returning this time was to graduate immediately, obtain his graduation certificate, and then go directly to a intermediate Spirit Master Academy for further study.
After all, as a Spirit Master, there was no need for him to stay here any longer, and besides, he didn't need to go to Shrek to study.
If he didn't leave, his methods would forever remain at the elementary stage, unable to make any progress.
Returning to Dorm Seven, since there were only two days left until the start of the semester, many work-study students had already returned.
Seeing his roommates, each of whom had gained a noticeable amount of weight after going home, Sun Yu simply greeted them and then walked straight to his bed.
Upon hearing Sun Yu's greeting, his roommates did not appear particularly pleased; instead, they all looked at Sun Yu with inexplicable expressions.
When Sun Yu saw this, a puzzled expression immediately appeared on his face.
What did they mean by this?
Why were they all looking at him like that?
Just as Sun Yu sat down, preparing to tidy up his belongings and take his bedding out to air, Tang San slowly approached Sun Yu and spoke.
"Sun Yu, there's something I need to talk to you about!"
Hearing this, Sun Yu's expression remained unchanged, but he felt annoyed inside.
Damn it, he was about to graduate early, what kind of twisted scheme was he up to now?
"What do you want to say?"
"Sun Yu, Xiao Wu and I both know about you bullying the noodle shop Shopkeeper. So, I suggest you apologize to the Shopkeeper of that noodle shop. You injured their employee, causing them to be unable to do business for an entire afternoon, so I suggest you had better compensate them for their lost income!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yu's expression froze. What was going on? How did it get involved with that noodle shop?!
"What do you mean?!"
After Tang San's explanation, Sun Yu understood.
It turned out that twenty days ago, after Sun Yu left with Uncle Zhang, Tang San took Xiao Wu to that noodle shop to eat noodles. However, because Sun Yu had caused a commotion, the Shopkeeper decided not to open in the afternoon, closing for half a day.
This directly resulted in Xiao Wu not being able to eat pork chop noodles, making her very unhappy.
Afterward, Tang San carefully inquired and learned the whole story from a gossipy waiter.
Tang San immediately wondered if that person could be Sun Yu.
After all, Sun Yu's Spirit was a stick, and he was around the same age.
The timing also coincided perfectly with Sun Yu's return after obtaining his spirit ring.
And upon seeing that Sun Yu had actually caused a ruckus at the noodle shop after acquiring a spirit ring, Tang San immediately felt angry and embarrassed.
Because they were both born in Saint Spirit Village.
Sun Yu's actions undoubtedly made Tang San feel disgraced.
After all, this was already considered bullying the weak!
But out of consideration for them being from the same village, Tang San was still willing to give Sun Yu a chance, to let him apologize to the Shopkeeper.
As long as he apologized and compensated, he would still be a good child.
However, the most important thing was that Xiao Wu wanted to get revenge for that noodle shop Shopkeeper.
Because Xiao Wu thought that noodle shop Shopkeeper was truly too pitiful.
And Tang San was worried that Xiao Wu would suffer at Sun Yu's hands, as Sun Yu had already obtained his first spirit ring.
That's why Tang San was now accompanying Xiao Wu to question Sun Yu here.
Finally, after listening to such a long explanation, Sun Yu, understanding their purpose, asked with a sneer.
"What, did that Shopkeeper send you two to be his spokespersons?"
Tang San shook his head. Before he could speak, he heard Xiao Wu speak first.
"I told Little San to talk to you. Little San, out of consideration for you two being from the same village, said he'd try to persuade you first. If he couldn't, then I would persuade you.
Little Yu Zi, what you did this time really made me, as Xiao Wu Jie, lose a lot of face. I'm very happy for you that you obtained a spirit ring, but you can't bully others by relying on your power. How is what you did any different from those nobles?"
Although her words sounded very nice, Xiao Wu had actually come up with a bad idea: if she took Sun Yu to apologize, would the Shopkeeper, in his joy, give her a discount or even free meals in the future? After all, one silver coin for a bowl of noodles was still too expensive for Xiao Wu...
Even though Xiao Wu was now a Spirit Master, the subsidies wouldn't cover many meals.
Although Tang San could treat Xiao Wu, the money Tang San earned from blacksmithing wasn't much, only one silver coin a day!
Therefore, Xiao Wu came up with such a bad idea.
Using her own misbehaving junior to gain benefits, satisfying her sense of righteousness while also getting free noodles—in Xiao Wu's opinion, it was perfect....
"Heh....."
Looking at Tang San and Xiao Wu's expressions of compassion and righteous indignation, Sun Yu couldn't help but laugh, a laugh tinged with anger!
"Tang San, Xiao Wu, you think I'm no different from those nobles? Then let me ask you a question, do you know why I caused such a scene in the first place?"
Hearing this, Tang San nodded.
"I know, wasn't it because the Shopkeeper owed Uncle Zhang money for vegetables? The Shopkeeper also said that because the noodle shop couldn't make ends meet, he would pay it back as soon as possible! But you forced the Shopkeeper to pay immediately, forcing others to do what they don't want to do—what is that if not noble behavior?
"Then do you know how much money that noodle shop's Shopkeeper owed Uncle Zhang and them?"
"I know, wasn't it just a mere gold coin? I..."
Before Tang San could finish speaking, Sun Yu interrupted him with a stern tone.
"Hmph, just a gold coin?! Tang San, you've really come a long way since becoming a Spirit Master, haven't you? Can even a gold coin be summed up with the words 'mere'? Have you forgotten that one gold coin can feed a family of three for three whole months without worry?!
Is it just about a gold coin?! That represents the harvest from Uncle Zhang's family's vegetable plot, my family's, and several other uncles' families' vegetable plots, converted into life-saving money to continue living!
And you call it a mere gold coin? Since you think it's just a mere gold coin, then why don't you give a few gold coins to the poor families in the village?
Tang San, you're also a child from a poor family. Your family only earns a few bronze coins for forging a farm tool. I ask you, if people from our village asked your family to forge farm tools but kept delaying payment.
And they kept saying, 'It's just a few bronze coins, why are you rushing? We're all from the same village, how can you rush us?' If something like that really happened, what would you think?! Would you still be standing there talking so carelessly?
And you, Xiao Wu, when you didn't have money for food, I was the one who paid for your meal, and now you're here questioning me for the sake of a noodle shop? Is that how you act as a big sister?"
