Brainless and Unhappy
"Whether the saintess is beautiful or not is not important; what matters is her love of learning. I will get up early tomorrow."
Tang Yu raised her wine glass and said matter-of-factly, "Whether someone has a good temper or not has nothing to do with me. It's just pleasing to the eye to look at beautiful women."
Everyone smiled knowingly and raised their glasses to clink together.
As a person who keeps their promises.
After returning home, Tang Yu collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep. The next morning at six o'clock, she was already up exercising in the yard.
A little while later, Wang Kangping and the others arrived as promised and called Tang Yu to go to the cafeteria for lunch, saying that the Holy Maiden wouldn't arrive until around nine o'clock, and that they had already arranged for someone to go ahead and reserve seats for her.
So Tang Yu went with this group of guys to the Nine Heavens Alliance's canteen.
People who practice martial arts have high requirements for their diet, mainly because they eat a lot, and they eat a lot of meat.
Otherwise, after a lot of hard training every day, the body really can't keep up if it doesn't have enough energy.
The cafeteria served beef noodles for breakfast, and you could ask for more as long as you finished the big bowl.
The meat was even more outrageous; there were several large porcelain jars, each about half a person's height, filled with meat.
As long as you don't waste food, it's a skill if you can finish it all.
If you waste food, the cafeteria won't be lenient if they find out; they'll assign you the task of feeding pigs for half a year, and then the matter will be over.
After sitting down with a large bowl of beef noodles and lots of chili, Tang Yu noticed a television in front of her.
He asked with a smile, "And the TV, is there a signal?"
"No, but I have movie DVDs, but they're all old, outdated films that nobody watches."
One of the disciples, who was not related by surname, said with a smile, clearly not caring much about these things.
Those disciples from outside the Nine Heavens Alliance who are accepted into the alliance are all top-tier talents.
They were all focused on their cultivation and didn't really care about these things.
At most... I'll use my phone, which has no signal, to store some short movies or something, and occasionally do some handicrafts to relieve stress.
"Don't you guys get bored staying here all the time?"
Tang Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.
He had come into contact with quite a few ancient martial arts forces, including sects and families. Among them were more secular ancient martial arts forces that combined martial arts training with making money.
There are also places like Nine Springs Mountain, which have relatively less contact with the secular world.
However, Tang Yu clearly sensed that something was amiss with the Nine Heavens Alliance.
Their management is too closed off. The outer disciples hardly have any chance to go out. It seems that they are focused on martial arts training and have nothing else to do.
"It's alright, I'm used to it. The Nine Heavens Alliance has always been like this, that's why there are so many experts."
Wang Kangping's face showed longing. He still hoped that he could enter the Celestial Realm in this lifetime and become a true Grandmaster, to see what the scenery at the peak of martial arts was like!
Tang Yu nodded. He still had a lot to learn about the Nine Heavens Alliance, and asking questions alone wasn't enough.
He planned to catch some small animals like rats and birds later, control them all using the Beast Taming Art given by the Dog System, and then disperse them to gather a large amount of intelligence in this way.
Yes, the focus is on the girls' dormitory.
Women love gossip, so they'll definitely get the most information there. It's not that he's a pervert, don't get the wrong idea.
After finishing a large bowl of beef noodles, Tang Yu put down the bowl and looked at the other side of the cafeteria, where there were rows of bookshelves filled with various books, but they were too far away for him to see the titles clearly.
Upon seeing these books, Tang Yu couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
He looked at Wang Kangping and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, are all those cultivation manuals on that bookshelf?"
If they were all cultivation techniques and secret manuals, I would have made a fortune.
"You're overthinking it. Even if our Nine Heavens Alliance has the best resources, we can't possibly produce that many cultivation techniques and secret manuals."
Wang Kangping smiled helplessly and then spoke.
"That's kind of a library. It's full of miscellaneous books, novels and other things. It was suggested by an elder a few years ago. You can apply for any books you want to read. Every six months, they bring in a batch of books from outside, but they're all domestic books, no foreign ones."
Why aren't there any from overseas?
"I can't understand foreign things. I only have a junior high school diploma, which is considered educated here."
Wang Kangping joked, and everyone burst into laughter.
These Ancient Martial Artist have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and none of them have actually gone to school to receive a proper education. High school students are considered to have a top-notch education in the Ancient Martial Arts World.
Of course, Ancient Martial Artist don't really care about these things; those who revere martial prowess have absolutely no interest in them.
Tang Yu smiled helplessly, recalling how she had teased Ning Shiqin last time for being a "fish that slipped through the net" of nine years of education.
"I'm going to find some books to read."
Feeling bored, Tang Yu said hello and headed to the library for a stroll.
After browsing around for a while, Tang Yu found that most of the books here were novels and various magazines, basically reading materials used to pass the time.
Just as Tang Yu was about to take down two novels, her gaze suddenly fell on the bookshelf next to her.
A petite girl was standing on a small stool, but even after stepping on the stool, she still couldn't quite reach the book. So she tried to reach a book on the third shelf by standing on tiptoe.
Seeing how hard she was trying, Tang Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
As a kind-hearted man, Tang Yu walked behind her, put his hands under her armpits, and lifted her up.
In this way, the girl can easily reach the book she wants.
At the same time, everyone in the cafeteria and the outer disciples who came to borrow books looked at Tang Yu with eyes that were astounded as their mothers for a whole year.
This guy is incredibly brave.
After being lifted up, the girl turned around and glanced at Tang Yu expressionlessly.
When she turned around, Tang Yu was indeed momentarily stunned by her beauty.
This little girl is really too beautiful; her fair skin and pink hair make her look like she stepped out of an anime.
But she had a world-weary, utterly hopeless look on her face, and she looked like an unhappy person.
"It was nothing, no need to thank me, just take the book."
Tang Yu chuckled foolishly; in the eyes of many outer disciples, he was utterly clueless.
Damn it, doesn't he know who he's holding up?
The pink-haired girl seemed to have a naturally expressionless face, but the beauty mark at the corner of her eye was quite adorable. She reached out and took a novel from the bookshelf.
Tang Yu glanced at the book cover, which depicted a handsome man and a beautiful woman embracing each other. The book was titled something like "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me."
"You like watching this at such a young age?"
After seeing that she had received the book, Tang Yu put her down.
Then he realized that the girl was only up to his chest, and he estimated that she was at most about 1.4 meters tall.
Upon hearing Tang Yu's comment about her young age, the pink-haired girl turned her head and looked at Tang Yu expressionlessly, her fists clenching slightly.
