Douluo Continent, my martial soul is a mushroom.

Chapter 13 Tang San Becomes a Disciple

While Chi Ping was giving Tang San and Xiao Wu a pep talk about their secrets and explaining the daily life of work-study students, Teacher Mohen brought Tang San a quilt.

Everyone then noticed that Xiao Wu had only brought the school uniform issued by the academy when she entered the dormitory. After asking her, they learned that she didn't have any bedding.

The work-study students, who had been silent because of Ikehira's inexplicable reprimand, immediately became enthusiastic.

In ordinary poor families, girls are usually not valued. No girls have come to the Seventh Dormitory for many years. Wang Sheng and the others were a little at a loss, but they instinctively began to fawn over Xiao Wu, offering to let her borrow their bedding for the night.

However, after asking around, apart from Chi Ping's bedding which was the tidiest, only Tang San's bedding, a gift from the Grandmaster, was pleasing to Xiao Wu. Having just been beaten up by Chi Ping, Xiao Wu couldn't possibly ask him for help, so she could only set her sights on Tang San.

"Tang San, how about we discuss this?"

"What are you discussing?"

"Your bedding looks pretty big; it shouldn't be a problem for two people to share it. How about this, we put the beds together, then we'll both have enough?"

"what?"

Xiao Wu's words left Tang San, a two-time homebody, completely dumbfounded.

This scene made Ikehira chuckle to himself.

—Was Xiao Wu doing this on purpose? Did she sense Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and instinctively become close to him? Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for this rabbit to be so focused on Tang San!

He didn't interfere with Tang San and Xiao Wu sharing bedding. Even with his current assets, Chi Ping could easily afford to give Xiao Wu a complete set of bedding, but he didn't intend to intervene. Given Xiao Wu's innate full soul power, she would soon obtain a soul ring and receive a soul master subsidy from the Spirit Hall. At that time, she would be able to solve her bedding problem herself.

The separation between men and women is too early at this age. Although one is a 100,000-year-old soul beast who has been reborn and the other is a soul from another world who has transmigrated, both of them started as infants. The physical state affects the soul. Although they have memories, they are still newborns.

He's the boss; there are some things he can do, and some things he doesn't need to do.

—However, it's not good for a young girl to live with a group of us men like this. I'll talk to the director tomorrow and find some wooden boards and coarse cloth to make a partition.

After waiting for about half an hour, Chi Ping estimated that Tang San and Xiao Wu's injuries had almost healed, so he suggested, "It's time for lunch. Xiao Wu, Tang San, why don't you come with us?"

Upon hearing that there was food, Xiao Wu immediately jumped up, forgetting all about the grudge against Chi Ping for beating her, and excitedly asked, "Okay! What delicious food will we eat?"

Wang Sheng and the other work-study students looked at each other blankly. "There's nothing good to eat, it's just enough to fill our stomachs."

Tang San shook his head and said, "You guys go ahead, I won't go."

Xiao Wu's excitement suddenly froze. "Does eating cost money? You mean those soul coins or something?"

—That's so lacking in common sense! It's only because the students here are still young and don't have so many ulterior motives, and they don't even know the concept of a 100,000-year-old soul beast rebuilding its cultivation, that one sentence would have exposed you, little rabbit!

Chi Ping thought to himself, then smiled and said, "With me here, how could I let you go hungry! Come on over."

Upon hearing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu no longer declined.

The group of eleven left Dormitory 7 and headed towards the cafeteria, led by Chi Ping.

……

The cafeteria at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy is large enough to accommodate over three hundred people, including six classes and teachers. At this moment, long queues had already formed at the cafeteria windows.

The cafeteria has two floors, with three hundred seats in the main hall on the first floor alone.

Most students get their meals on the first floor, but some go upstairs.

The work-study students lined up together.

No one came to provoke them.

Ever since Chi Ping accomplished the feat of taking on twenty opponents single-handedly two years ago, the students all knew that there was an unapproachable monster among the work-study students, and they dared not provoke him lightly. And six months later, when Chi Ping successfully obtained the number one spirit ring in a century, the provocative voices completely disappeared.

Xiao Wu watched the students going upstairs and asked Wang Sheng, "Can't we go upstairs to eat?"

Wang Sheng explained, "The second floor is where you order food separately, and it's very expensive; we can't afford it. Once you advance to a Soul Master, you can go to the Spirit Hall to receive a Soul Master subsidy, one gold soul coin per month. Then you can go to the second floor to order food. However, at that time, the boss won't give you the daily ten copper soul coins meal allowance anymore."

Xiao Wu seemed thoughtful. "Oh."

One gold soul coin equals one hundred silver soul coins equals ten thousand copper soul coins. In the market for ordinary people, one copper soul coin is equivalent to one yuan in purchasing power.

Notting Academy pays its work-study students ten copper soul coins a day, barely enough to feed them three meals a day. After obtaining his soul ring, Chi Ping took a portion of his soul master allowance to provide each work-study student with a daily meal allowance of ten copper soul coins to supplement their nutrition.

While everyone was patiently queuing, Tang San spotted a familiar face and quickly went up to him, saying, "Teacher, you've come to eat too."

Chi Ping looked over, nodded, and greeted him, "Master."

The other work-study students also knew that Chi Ping was working as Yu Xiaogang's assistant, so they all greeted him. Even Xiao Wu greeted him as well.

Yu Xiaogang nodded to everyone, then asked Tang San, "Is everything packed?"

Tang San nodded respectfully and said, "Thank you for the bedding, teacher."

The master patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come with me to the second floor for dinner. Then I'll show you around my place."

Tang San shook his head and said, "No, teacher, I'd better eat with my roommates."

"That's fine then." Yu Xiaogang nodded. Soul Masters really can't live in seclusion. He looked at Chi Ping, "After you finish eating, take Xiao San to my place."

Chi Ping nodded. "Okay."

After Yu Xiaogang left, Tang San pulled Chi Ping aside and asked, "Senior, have you also taken the Grandmaster as your master?"

Chi Ping shook his head. "No, I just learned some things from him."

Wang Sheng turned around at this moment. He said seriously, "Tang San, the apprenticeship between Soul Masters is not just a matter of words. Although Grandmaster is alright, he is far from being a suitable teacher for a leader!"

Wang Sheng's words were already very restrained.

Given Yu Xiaogang's reputation, Wang Sheng would have already started cursing him if Chi Ping hadn't been his assistant.

Tang San frowned, displeased.

Chi Ping smoothed things over, saying, "That's a bit of an overstatement. I'm rather averse to the idea of ​​becoming an apprentice. The master did say he wanted to take me as a disciple before, but I refused. Right now, the master and I have a cooperative relationship."

Chi Ping's words were fair, and the nameless anger that Wang Sheng had stirred up in Tang San's heart dissipated after hearing Chi Ping's words.

After finishing their meal, everyone returned to their dormitory. Chi Ping led Tang San to the top floor of the dormitory.

After exchanging a few words with Yu Xiaogang, Chi Ping gave the space to the master and apprentice.
