Chapter 40 - Chapter 39

'... Why is he so weak?' Hanrui thought confused as he stared at the scene.

Hanrui frowned in confusion as he watched Xiao Wu defeat Tang San in 2 moves. 

'What the hell is going on? Why is he so weak?

I trained Xiao Wu, Yes, but the great Tang San losing in just 2 moves? Where is his experience as an assassin run off to?

Hmm, he didn't seem to be faking it either? Did I get a Walmart version of Tang San? Or have I overestimated him all along?' Hanrui thought confused.

Just as Hanrui was thinking, a man entered the dorm with a quilt, seeing this Hanrui stared at Xiao Wu strangely as he felt the bone of mischief in her acting up.

Hanrui sighed as he teleported right behind her and placed his hand on her shoulder before she could speak, making her swallow her prepared words as her body stiffened.

. . .

Back to Present Time.

"So."

"What were you gonna say if i came late, my little rogue rabbit. 🐇" Hanrui said again, looking at Xiao Wu who is trying her best to not look at him.

Seeing as she was avoiding to look at him, Hanrui smiled as he just stared at her, waiting for her to cave in and confess.

Xiao Wu feeling her master's stare couldn't help but blurt out. "I was going to scam him off his quilt as the boss of the Dorm."

Hanrui raised an eyebrow as he listened to her confession but stayed silent, giving her the time to calm down and explain herself.

Xiao Wu, who is looking away while closing her eyes in comfort at getting head pat from Hanrui, slowly opened them and looked at him, who was staring at her with a raised eyebrow.

She slowly calmed down and said "After seeing the quilt, I thought Tang San still took that scum as his master. 

So I thought if I could take the quilt, it would make him feel uncomfortable for a while."

Hanrui pinched her cheek while laughing.

"Silly girl, how long do you think it would work? A day? 

If Tang San didn't say anything, it might take at most a week before Yu Xiaogong will notice his condition."

Xiao Wu pouted and said nothing, but felt happy to be pinched. 

"Besides, in at most 8-9 months at best, Tang San will reach level 10 and get a soul ring.

Won't he just buy a quilt then? Assuming he wouldn't do that with his earnings as a blacksmith apprentice."

Xiao Wu, seeing her master's point, felt frustrated at not being able to do anything to Tang San.

"Sigh, although Tang San is confirmed to be our enemy, now that he has accepted Yu Xiaogong as his master, there is no need to rush to humiliate him or beat him.

We can just treat him as entertainment. Life isn't fun without some drama after all." Hanrui said, seeing her frustration. 

Xiao Wu nodded her head as she accepted his words.

"Well, let's go, let's treat your dorm mates to lunch." He said as he took her hand and dragged her to the dinner hall.

On the other side Wang Sheng, seeing Tang san done making his bed and changing clothes suddenly said.

"Great, since you are done, let's go eat, I'll show you the dinner hall."

Wang Sheng, recalling Tang San's previous patched clothing, softened his voice as he added.

"Don't worry, since this is your first time, I'll treat you for the next few days. Until you get your wages."

Tang san hearing that instinctively clutched his pocket, counting his meager savings and the money he got from the guards earlier.

"We have to buy lunch? How is the food here?" He asked tentatively not expecting to buy food, as in his previous life the food is provided freely to the disciples of the sect. 

(A/N: I assume Tang Sect,as an assassin sect, prepares a special diet for their disciples to train them to their liking.)

"What good food can we work study students get? We just grab any cheap meal available in the dining hall.

But we do have to thank the new elder, Elder Li. 

Because of him, the quality of the food has improved and we can even buy meat dishes at a discount once every week." Wang Sheng said with joy on his face.

Tang San relaxed after hearing that but got intrigued who this elder Li truly is. 

Wang Sheng took Tang san and the others to the dining hall and just entered. A derisive laugh came from the second floor.

Tang san, observing everything in the dining hall with interest, turned his head to look at the culprit.

Wang Sheng who was about to introduce the dining hall fell silent as he and others looked at the second floor where a young man and his gang were staring at them in disdain.

"Yo, if it isn't Wang Sheng and his poor gang." the young man who looked to be a 11 year old senior student said.

"You poor people are really pitiful, you never have the chance to enter the second floor." The young man mocked. 

While Wang Sheng, who already explained how working students should behave to Tang san, signaled to one of his roommates to introduce the young man to Tang san in a hush voice.

"Tang san, that's Xiao Chenyu,a senior student like me, but his father is the city lord. So he likes to bully people as he pleases without consequences." Mo Hen explained.

"Wang Sheng, I, your father will go eat now, I'll let you off for now." Xiao Chenyu mocked one last time and disappeared into the second floor.

Just as Wang Sheng was taking everyone to buy lunch the door opened again and two people walked in. 

"Hey Wang Sheng, bring everyone over, my brother is treating everyone to lunch." Xiao Wu said as she strode over to the side of work study students in her academy issued clothes.

Wang Sheng hearing that and seeing its Elder Li's treat, he and his gang, while a little hesitant, perked up.

'He is everywhere. My first meeting to now,I met him 3 times and he helped me twice already? 

If it wasn't for my instict warning me to be wary of him, I might've fallen for his tricks.' Tang san thought as he stared at Hanrui.
