"Let's go eat, everyone."

Xiao Wu gritted her teeth as she spoke, then tossed her head and walked away.

Her scorpion braid brushed against Lin Ye's face, and she let out a huff to show her dissatisfaction.

The others looked at each other in confusion; what was wrong with Big Sister Xiao Wu?

Lin Ye scratched his head. Girls' thoughts were truly strange.

He rubbed his stomach. He was in a great mood today and decided to treat himself to a good meal as a reward.

He headed to the cafeteria, brimming with excitement.

The differences in social class were immediately apparent in the cafeteria.

There were many students at Notting Academy, a portion of whom were work-study students.

Work-study students had to work to support their studies just to maintain their daily lives.

Most students had not yet officially become Spirit Masters, so they could not receive subsidies from Spirit Hall.

An official Spirit Master could receive one Gold Spirit Coin per month.

A Great Spirit Master could receive ten Gold Spirit Coins.

Once one reached the Spirit Venerable rank, they received one hundred Gold Spirit Coins a month.

As long as one could receive the subsidy, there would at least be no issues regarding food.

But right now, the vast majority of students at the academy still had to rely on work-study to make ends meet.

Arriving at the cafeteria, the meals of most work-study students were very frugal.

The first floor was the dining area for work-study students, while the second floor was reserved for academy teachers and nobles.

The food standards were also quite different.

Standing at the serving counter, Xiao Wu felt conflicted.

There was so much food, but she had no money.

"Big Sister Xiao Wu, let me treat you."

Wang Sheng was very proactive, having noticed Xiao Wu's predicament.

"No, no, I... I eat very little."

Xiao Wu knew they were all work-study students, and life wasn't easy for them either.

Lin Ye stood to the side watching and said, "I'll treat everyone today. Consider it a celebration for Big Sister Xiao Wu becoming the boss of our Dorm Seven."

Xiao Wu turned her head. This guy actually seemed like a decent person?

It seemed she had misunderstood him earlier.

Perhaps he just had some grudge against Tang San.

I'm so happy today. I have innate full spirit power, I have to celebrate.

Xiao Wu: !!!

This guy, she knew he wouldn't be that kind-hearted!

So he was celebrating for himself?

Wait, he had innate full spirit power?

Xiao Wu only just realized it.

Innate full spirit power was extremely rare.

Possessing innate full spirit power meant his talent was incredibly high.

But so far, she hadn't seen anything particularly impressive about him.

What exactly was going on?

"Everyone, order what you want. Take it easy, don't drain my wallet dry."

Lin Ye said with a straight face. The people from Dorm Seven were actually quite decent; even with someone treating them, they didn't order recklessly.

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before accepting Lin Ye's kindness.

She ordered two dishes: one boiled carrot and one braised carrot.

Lin Ye glanced at them and couldn't help but cringe.

This rabbit, is she really obsessed with carrots?

No wonder she's a bit underdeveloped. How can she get by eating vegetarian all day?

Meat is so delicious! It's so fragrant!

Xiao Wu silently clenched her fists.

Don't be angry, don't be angry.

Since they were eating his food, there was no need to get angry.

Anger harms the body; it's not worth ruining one's health over it.

Just as everyone was preparing to eat, some voices drifted over.

"Yo~ isn't this Wang Sheng? You actually have money to eat?"

Everyone turned toward the sound.

On the second-floor corridor, a few students stood there with mocking smiles.

Judging by their appearance, they were likely noble students.

Wang Sheng's explosive temper flared up instantly.

"Bastard! Are you looking for trouble?"

To be belittled in front of Big Sister Xiao Wu—did he have no shame?

Lin Ye rubbed his chin, looking on with interest.

It's coming, it's coming! The cliché drama is about to start!

Though, that old scumbag Yu Xiaogang should be appearing soon.

Tang San's fated teacher; the old scumbag and the little scumbag, a perfect match!

Hearing Lin Ye's inner voice, Xiao Wu, who had intended to step in and teach the other party a lesson, stopped.

Who was this old scumbag Yu Xiaogang?

Was the little scumbag referring to Tang San?

Calling Tang San a scumbag out of the blue was truly baffling.

Perhaps something had happened that she wasn't aware of.

Just as she was pondering the reason, a voice came from another part of the second floor.

"Not eating properly, instead looking for trouble?"

Everyone looked over to see a middle-aged man with a stern expression.

Seeing this person, the noble students upstairs scoffed before walking away.

"Little San, come up and eat."

Tang San was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Thank you, Teacher, but I'd rather eat with my roommates."

Having just joined Dorm Seven, he still needed to integrate into the group.

Even though they were all just a bunch of brats, it didn't matter.

He would be at the academy for several years, and they would be seeing each other every day.

He figured that with his abilities, he could easily handle these greenhorns like Wang Sheng.

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "Very well."

With that, he turned and left.

"Tang San, is Grandmaster your teacher?"

Wang Sheng was curious, his expression somewhat strange.

"Yes, that is my teacher!"

Speaking of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's face lit up with pride.

To his surprise, Wang Sheng remarked, "Seriously? His strength isn't much to speak of; he's only level twenty-nine. Although he's a guest advisor at the academy, he's basically just a freeloader."

"He's been hanging around the academy for decades without ever teaching a single student. He's arrogant despite having no ability, so why would you take him as your master?"

Tang San raised his head, his expression turning serious in an instant.

"If you don't want to spar with me again, please do not judge my teacher so recklessly."

"My teacher is very capable; he was able to see my innate full soul power at a single glance!"

"This is the first time, and I hope it is the last."

"Alright, you guys eat. I'm going to find my teacher."

He finished speaking and headed toward the second floor.

Wang Sheng hadn't expected such a strong reaction and stood stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.

"Is that kid sick in the head?"

Lin Ye rolled his eyes. "Maybe everyone just thinks differently. Let's eat, let's eat."

It's not that he's sick; it's mainly that the little scumbag and the old scumbag get along so well.

The old scumbag fancies himself a man of great learning, but in reality, his theories are just plagiarized from others, which he stubbornly claims as his own research.

The little scumbag is so proud of his innate full soul power of level ten, but have I said anything about my innate soul power of level twenty?

Xiao Wu's brows furrowed slightly.

So that scumbag Grandmaster's theories were plagiarized from others?

Ew~

What a disgusting person!

To think Tang San could actually get along with someone like that?

It seems his own nature isn't much better.

And then there's this guy Lin Ye; he's actually innate full soul power too.

And level twenty at that?

He couldn't be bluffing, could he?

No, that must be his inner thoughts leaking out; he's likely just boasting.

Therefore, the true innate full soul power is level twenty!

At the same time, this also means Lin Ye's martial soul must be incredibly powerful.

As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form, she had an instinctive understanding of cultivation.

She understood everything from the basics to the profound.

Innate soul power levels were usually directly proportional to the strength of one's martial soul.

The stronger the martial soul, the higher the innate soul power generally was.

What exactly was Lin Ye's Sword Grass martial soul?

It sounded like a plant-type, but she had never heard of such a plant before.

After finishing their meal, the group headed back to the dormitory.

Wang Sheng quickly arranged the cleaning schedule for the next day.

Xiao Wu, clutching her little cloth bag, fell into a dilemma.

What should she do?

That bed over there was bare and hard.

Sleeping on it would definitely be very, very painful.

Now, she had two choices.

One was Tang San, who had been provided with brand-new bedding by Yu Xiaogang.

The other was Lin Ye.

He also had brand-new bedding, and it even smelled like fresh grass—it smelled so good.

She had to make a choice.

After hesitating for a while, she walked toward Lin Ye.

"Lin Ye, I—can I share your bed? My bed doesn't have any bedding."

Lin Ye: "..."

How did the boomerang of fate end up hitting him?
