"Alright, students, that concludes today's lesson."
Zhou Yi threw the chalk on the podium, closed her book, and announced the end of class.
"Phew, class is finally over. I really can't stand these kinds of knowledge-based subjects anymore." Wang Dong'er slammed her notebook shut in a huff, her eyes still fixed on the students in front of her with hostility.
Wu Feng was like a deflated balloon, completely listless.
Xiao Xiao maintained her studious demeanor, calmly watching Vina relentlessly pursuing Huo Yuhao.
" Huo Yuhao, please show me around. There are some places I really don't know where."
Vina clung to Huo Yuhao's arm, her expression slightly coquettish.
Huo Yuhao quickly shook off Vina's hand and calmly said, "I don't know either. My life revolves around the classroom, the cafeteria, and the dormitory. I don't know anything else."
Wu Feng and Wang Dong'er, watching from behind, gritted their teeth. If Zhou Yi hadn't been there, they would have rushed up and pulled the man away from Huo Yuhao.
On the stage, Zhou Yi tidied up her lesson plan and watched the students leave one after another. Just then, she saw Vina clinging to Huo Yuhao.
Zhou Yi then smiled and said, " Yuhao, next you can show Vina around the outer courtyard and explain the rules of each place to her. Also, the three of you can come along later."
"Take this seriously. If Vina makes a mistake later, I'll deduct a point from your final grades."
Vina's initially disappointed expression immediately brightened, and she exclaimed happily, " Huo Yuhao, look, Teacher Zhou said you should take me sightseeing, so you can't refuse now, can you?"
"Hey, Miss Vina, it's not just Yuhao and you, okay? There are three of us too. We'll definitely give you a proper introduction." Wang Dong'er squinted, a chilling smile playing on her lips.
Wu Feng smiled innocently, but he looked quite like he was in cahoots with Wang Dong'er. " Vina, we know the academy better than Yuhao. You can rest assured with us here."
Xiao Xiao put away her notes, stood up, and said earnestly, "Okay, Teacher Zhou, we understand."
Zhou Yi nodded to the group, said nothing more, and left.
Vina looked at Xiao Xiao and the other two behind her with suspicion, and said, "The three of you? Forget it, Huo Yuhao is enough to show me around. You three can go back."
Vina looked at the three of them and recognized them as the same people who had traveled with Huo Yuhao yesterday. However, she didn't interact with them and subconsciously didn't want them to accompany her.
Wang Dong'er didn't bother listening to what Vina was saying. She walked directly to Vina's side, and together with Wu Feng, they took her arms intimately, practically carrying Vina out of the classroom.
Vina was naturally unwilling and struggled. As a Auxiliary System Soul Ancestor, how could she be a match for a Power Attack System Quasi-Soul Ancestor or Soul Ancestor?
Xiao Xiao came to Huo Yuhao's side, affectionately tidied his hair, and leaned on his shoulder to enjoy a moment of peace. " Yuhao, let's go out. After all, it's a task assigned by Teacher Zhou."
Huo Yuhao patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder, a slightly gratified smile on his face, like the smile of a loving father who has just seen his daughter grow up.
In the past six months, Xiao Xiao has grown quite a bit taller, now reaching Huo Yuhao's chest, and her childishness has lessened considerably.
Having experienced both big and small events, Xiao Xiao and the others have all grown considerably.
Huo Yuhao let Xiao Xiao lead him to the classroom door, secretly transferring some Soul Power into her body from time to time.
This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. During the freshman assessment, it was precisely because of the Soul Power secretly transmitted by Huo Yuhao that Xiao Xiao was able to transform and overpower her opponent at a crucial moment, although the effect was brief.
Xiao Xiao never used it again after that, but this was all an insurance policy that Huo Yuhao left on them. They would subconsciously awaken this power if they encountered a dangerous situation.
Wang Dong'er, Wu Feng, and others who were close to Huo Yuhao had all subtly accepted this power, though they were unaware of it.
Looking at the others in the corridor, Huo Yuhao saw that their strength had improved considerably, and he felt that he could leave for a while longer.
"This is the cafeteria. It has almost every type of cuisine, but the prices vary. It's up to you to choose. But there's a very important rule here that you can't forget," Xiao Xiao explained earnestly, standing in front of Vina.
Vina felt utterly hopeless at this moment. She was being affectionately 'held' by Wang Dong'er and Wu Feng on both sides, and she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
Although Huo Yuhao was also there, she had really had enough of this.
Finally, she had no choice but to compromise. She told Wang Dong'er and Wu Feng that she wouldn't do anything else before they let her go.
Vina rubbed her arm, which was a little sore from being gripped by the two of them, and looked at Xiao Xiao, asking, "What are the rules in this cafeteria?"
This was the first time she had ever heard of rules in the cafeteria. Judging from Xiao Xiao's expression, it seemed to be more than just saving food.
Xiao Xiao, however, kept everyone in suspense, asking, "Take a look at this cafeteria and see how it differs from the ones you usually see?"
Vina looked around. Apart from the students coming and going to get food, and Huo Yuhao was already buying food, there were only some students standing and eating nearby.
She couldn't even see a single table or chair, which was the strangest thing about it.
"You're not allowed to sit down to eat here?" Vina asked in surprise.
Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, "You're right and wrong. Actually, the biggest rule here is that you can't take food out of the cafeteria."
Vina rolled her eyes and retorted, "Are you crazy? Does the cafeteria worry about students stealing food?"
Wang Dong'er agreed, saying, "I think so too. I wanted to say the same thing when I first came here."
Wu Feng covered her mouth, put a finger to shush her, and said, "Don't speak so loudly. That's the rule in this cafeteria. Guess why we went out to eat?"
Xiao Xiao agreed, but didn't say it aloud. She only emphasized, "That's the rule in the cafeteria. You must remember it well, or it will affect us if you get punished."
"If all else fails, turn left after leaving the cafeteria. There's a food street about a five-minute walk away; you can go there."
"However, the food in the cafeteria is more nutritious, and the most expensive dishes are still somewhat helpful for cultivation. It's up to you to choose."
After Xiao Xiao and the others explained things to Vina, Huo Yuhao happened to return with his meal, so the group took the opportunity to experience the glorious traditions of the place.
Huo Yuhao was also somewhat helpless. He was so focused on buying food that he had completely forgotten about the cafeteria's ridiculous rules.
He planned to have Zhang Lexuan change the rule later.
Does the cafeteria think the students will buy food and sneak it home to eat late at night?
