The Gears of Fate Began to Turn!

Wang Sheng's eyes dimmed for a moment.

"We're just work-study students. Our tuition was waived to begin with, so where would we get bedding? We all brought these from home. Why don't you use mine first, Sister Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Wu looked at the bedding Wang Sheng offered, wrinkling her nose slightly. She was clearly dissatisfied.

The rest was fine, but the smell on it made Xiao Wu very uncomfortable.

After looking around the dormitory, she found no decent bedding. Finally, her gaze landed on Yun Feng, who was hiding behind the others.

Seeing his strange behavior, Xiao Wu thought Yun Feng was hiding something good from her. She walked right over, blinked her big eyes, and said to him:

"Why are you hiding behind them? Are you hiding something good?"

Yun Feng froze. He had never expected to be noticed even while hiding behind someone else.

As for anything good?

He only had a few Silver Soul Coins left on him, and that was his food allowance.

Still, Yun Feng was not too worried about money. As a transmigrator, if he could not even make a little money, would that not be a complete failure?

Even so, Yun Feng put on a pitiful expression and "instinctively" covered his pocket.

When Xiao Wu saw that, a cunning smile appeared in her eyes. She immediately pretended not to care and said to Yun Feng:

"What's your name?"

"Yun Feng. My Innate Soul Power is only level one."

Tang San could not help but cut in and reveal Yun Feng's information.

For some reason, watching the little girl talk to the others made him somewhat unhappy, even though she was talking to his little brother.

After hearing that, Xiao Wu glared at Tang San and said unhappily:

"Who asked you? Honestly!"

In truth, Xiao Wu's mindset at the moment was no different from that of a little girl. After a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast took human form, almost everything began anew.

Having only just entered human society, she had the temperament of a little girl. Naturally, she wanted to play with whoever looked good.

Tang San currently looked like a little dark-skinned child. Long-term malnutrition and heavy physical labor could easily affect the development of a six-year-old child.

Yun Feng, on the other hand, was different.

Though they came from the same village, Jack was still the village chief. He had never neglected Yun Feng's meals, and Yun Feng had trained over the past few years as well.

He was fair and clean, with a rosy complexion and delicate features.

Although Xiao Wu had said that, after hearing Tang San's words, a flicker of disappointment still passed through her eyes.

Innate level-one Soul Power really was not much.

She shook her head, and her Scorpion Braid swayed a few times with the motion. Then she flashed a pair of little canine teeth, stretched out her hand toward Yun Feng, and said:

"I didn't buy any bedding. Give me yours!"

Yun Feng lowered his head, his expression unreadable.

But his heart was filled with confusion. What was going on?

Shouldn't she be looking for Tang San at a time like this?

Damn butterfly effect again.

Even so, Yun Feng put on a troubled expression and said:

"Sister Xiao Wu, I only have this one set of bedding, and my grandfather just had it newly fluffed for me."

Seeing that Yun Feng was not cooperating, Xiao Wu immediately waved her fists a few times.

She grinned.

"I'm the boss of this dorm!"

"If it really comes down to it, we can share the same bedding!"

Yun Feng was helpless. He did not want Tang Hao and Tang San keeping an eye on him, so he could only take out several Copper Soul Coins from inside his clothes and say to Xiao Wu:

"Sister Xiao Wu, how about I go buy you a new set later?"

Seeing how cooperative Yun Feng was, Xiao Wu was rather happy.

"Then thank you very much!"

Tang San, standing nearby, saw Xiao Wu standing so close to Yun Feng and, for some reason, felt a trace of displeasure.

It was as if his little brother was about to take something away from him.

If Yun Feng had known, he would have understood that possessiveness was at work.

Tang San decisively stepped forward and said:

"Sister Xiao Wu, how about I go buy it with you?"

Just then, a teacher in his thirties walked in from outside.

"Are there any new work-study students? Come over here."

He interrupted Xiao Wu.

Tang San and Xiao Wu walked over at the same time.

The teacher had an ordinary appearance, light green hair, and a set of bedding in his arms.

"Which one is Tang San?"

Tang San hurriedly stepped forward.

The plain-looking teacher said:

"My name is Mo Hen. You can call me Teacher Mo. Tang San, this bedding is from the Grandmaster for you."

Tang San accepted the bedding. Though the cover was not particularly ornate, a fresh, dry scent greeted him. It was all brand-new.

There was even a pillow inside. The teacher had clearly thought of everything for him.

Mo Hen slowly said:

"Tang San and Xiao Wu, you are first-year work-study students. From now on, you will be responsible for cleaning the garden south of the training ground. You will earn ten Copper Soul Coins a day. Remember, it must be cleaned every day, especially the clutter. It must all be cleared away, or your pay will be deducted. If you neglect your duties, the academy has the right to expel you. Do you understand?"

Tang San and Xiao Wu nodded at the same time, indicating that they understood.

Once he saw that they understood, Mo Hen called out again:

"Is Yun Feng here?"

Though Yun Feng did not know what this had to do with him, he still stepped forward.

"Teacher, may I ask what you need me for?"

Mo Hen looked at the handsome little boy before him without showing much expression and said directly:

"Although you are not a work-study student, your circumstances are rather special. The academy has made arrangements for you. You may freely choose when to attend classes, and you do not need to work."

Yun Feng was actually very happy to hear that.

Being able to arrange his time freely was also the academy's way of considering Yun Feng's situation, allowing him to earn some money so that he would not end up unable to afford food later on.

"I understand. Thank you, Teacher!"

Mo Hen nodded and turned to leave, but halfway there, he suddenly turned back and said:

"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and classes officially begin the day after tomorrow. First-year Class One will be on the first floor of the teaching building. Just make sure to attend class on time the day after tomorrow. Continue with your work as usual, and I will conduct spot checks from time to time. All right, get some rest first."

"And Wang Sheng, you're the oldest here. Remember to tell them the academy's rules!"

Tang San looked at the bedding in his hands and opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu said directly:

"You have bedding now, so forget it. I'll just buy my own later."

Tang San could only nod and reply in a muffled voice:

"All right, Sister Xiao Wu!"

Yun Feng watched the scene unfold. It differed slightly from what he remembered.

With him here, Xiao Wu and Tang San had actually not ended up sleeping together.

Though he did not know why, seeing Tang San's expression still gave Yun Feng a secret thrill.
