N-A-A Chapter 16 Shopping
Chapter 16 Shopping
Time always flies when you're out shopping, and before you know it, it's almost noon.
Both of them now carried several small bags filled with inexpensive but interesting trinkets and snacks.
"Yutong, let's find a place to have lunch! I know a noodle shop that's really good and reasonably priced!" Xiao Xiao suggested enthusiastically.
"Okay." Huo Yutong nodded in agreement and followed Xiao Xiao through the bustling street, turning into a relatively quiet alley.
Deep in the alley, a small noodle shop with a sign that reads "Old Wang's Bone Broth Noodles" comes into view. The shop is not big, but it is clean and tidy. It is lunchtime, and there are already many diners inside. The rich aroma wafts out, making people's mouths water.
"This is it! Their signature dragon bone noodles are absolutely amazing!" Xiao Xiao led Huo Yutong inside with practiced ease, and there happened to be an empty small square table in the corner.
Just as the two sat down and ordered their food, they heard the wind chimes at the door ring softly, and two more guests entered.
Huo Yutong subconsciously looked up and saw a man and a woman entering.
The man was tall and handsome, while the woman was lively and beautiful, with a pair of bright and expressive eyes.
They were all wearing Shrek Academy uniforms, and looked like upperclassmen.
They looked around and saw that only Yu Tong and Xiao Xiao's tables had enough space to share.
The couple walked over and asked if they could share a table. Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao agreed and introduced themselves to each other.
"Hello, Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao." Bei Bei spoke in a gentle and polite tone.
Tang Ya was much more enthusiastic. "Hello Xiao Xiao, hello Huo Yutong! Your eyes are so beautiful! They seem to speak! My name is Tang Ya, and I'm the current head of the Tang Sect!"
"Tang Clan... Sect Leader?" Huo Yutong was slightly taken aback.
While waiting for them to arrive, Tang Ya started talking non-stop: "That's right! Our Tang Clan was once a very famous sect on the continent! Although now... well, we're a bit more low-key, our Tang Clan's unique skills are still incredibly powerful!"
Techniques like the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Tracking, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Crane Control and Dragon Capture are all top-tier martial arts!
Beibei added from the side, "Xiaoya is right. The Tang Sect's unique skills are indeed profound and extensive, especially suitable for Soul Masters with quick minds and keen senses to cultivate."
Tang Ya stared intently at Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao:
"Xiao Xiao, Huo Yutong, how about considering joining our Tang Sect? Let's work together to revive the Tang Sect's former glory!"
Huo Yutong was caught off guard by this sudden invitation.
Joining a sect is no small matter. She knew almost nothing about the Tang Sect, only that it was founded by Tang San, the first generation of the Seven Devils, the Sea God, and the Asura God.
Huo Yutong said sincerely, "Senior Tang Ya, thank you for your invitation. I don't know much about the Tang Sect yet, could you let me think about it first?"
Xiao Xiao politely declined.
Although Tang Ya was a little disappointed, she was also very understanding: "Of course you can! Such a big thing definitely needs to be considered carefully! It's okay, we'll see each other often in the future, and you can learn more about the Tang Clan and us!"
Anyway, Beibei and I are both at the academy, so you're always welcome to come visit and ask questions!
Just then, a steaming bowl of noodles was served, and its rich aroma temporarily changed the subject.
The four of them ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.
After lunch, the four said their goodbyes and parted ways at the school gate.
"Xiao Xiao, my sisters teach at Shrek Academy, and I want to go see them," Huo Yutong said.
"Yutong, can I come with you? I really want to meet them. To be a teacher here, they must be incredibly powerful Soul Masters." Xiao Xiao's voice was full of longing.
After a moment's thought, Huo Yutong nodded in agreement. Following the address Biji had given her yesterday, Huo Yutong arrived at the teachers' dormitory building in the faculty and staff area.
After informing the dormitory supervisor, I learned that they had gone out early in the morning.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Yu Tong's eyes. She had been looking forward to sharing the snacks and trinkets she and Xiao Xiao had bought with her sisters.
"Don't worry, we can wait a while. Maybe they'll be back soon," Xiao Xiao comforted softly.
They waited for a while.
"Little Yutong, did you miss your sister?" Suddenly, Ziji's cheerful voice rang out from behind.
"Wow!" Xiao Xiao's eyes widened, speechless with amazement at the two beautiful women in front of her.
Brigitte smiled gently: "Hello, thank you for taking care of my Yutong."
"No, no, you're too kind. I didn't actually do anything," Xiao Xiao quickly waved her hand.
Huo Yutong introduced the two sides, then handed the paper bag to Biji: "Sister, these are snacks that Xiao Xiao and I specially picked out for you while we were shopping..."
"Thank you, Yutong." Brigitte took the paper bag and gently ruffled Yutong's hair.
"This morning we attended a work meeting of the school," Zi Ji continued, "After discussion, the academy arranged for us to serve as practical instructors for the third-year students at the beginning of the new semester."
It turns out that Brigitte and Ziji went to the conference room to attend the meeting early this morning as notified.
After careful consideration by the school's senior management, it was decided that they would be hired to primarily be responsible for the practical teaching of third-year students.
At the meeting, Yan Shaozhe personally explained the teaching arrangements to the two: "Shrek has always valued teachers' practical skills."
Your abilities are undeniable; I hope you can pass on your unique combat philosophies to the students.
Qian Duoduo added from the side, "The course arrangement will fully take into account the characteristics of the two of you."
Then a teacher handed over the arranged class schedule. Brigitte and Murasaki were silent for a moment.
"...We can't read," Brigitte said softly.
The impact of this statement plunged the entire venue into a strange state of stagnation.
Yan Shaozhe's smile froze slightly, and Qian Duoduo was completely stunned, opening her mouth but not knowing how to respond.
After a brief, awkward silence, Qian Duoduo was the first to react. "It's alright, it's alright! It's nothing."
The college will immediately assign a dedicated teaching assistant to each of them to handle preliminary document communication and work arrangements, ensuring that they can carry out teaching smoothly.
As for the written language, with your intelligence, you'll surely learn it very quickly. (The teaching assistant is female.)
Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement, "That's right, practical guidance, the core lies in the word 'practical'."
The college will handle the specific paperwork; you two only need to focus your energy on teaching the students.
The meeting concluded in a subtle and harmonious atmosphere.
……
Downstairs in the dormitory, Biji briefly recounted the meeting to Yutong and Xiaoxiao, omitting the little incident at the end and only mentioning that the college had assigned teaching assistants to help with the paperwork.
"In short, with the start of the new semester, we'll be the practical teachers for the third-year students," Brigitte concluded gently.
"That's awesome!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed. "Does this mean I can ask the teachers for practical guidance now?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Ji replied, "You're welcome anytime, little one. My method of guidance is quite 'profound'."
Xiao Xiao shivered for no reason and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the third-year students.
At this moment, Huo Yutong said softly: Although... I... only know a few hundred words, I want to help you.
This will make it much easier for the older sisters to check their class schedules and documents in the future.
Moreover, I can also help you read letters and notices…”
Brigitte bent down and ruffled Yu Tong's hair again, her smile warmer than a spring breeze: "Okay, then we'll have to trouble our little assistant Yu Tong from now on."
Murasaki also smiled and said, "That sounds good."
