Eve of the Storm: Puppet Arc
As soon as Xiao Shu's words fell, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, this group of students originally thought that Rose was young enough, but who knew that there was another teenager who was not a few years older than him, and he claimed to be their teacher.
"Everyone, be quiet, first of all, I want to state that I am not responsible for teaching you spiritual methods, this aspect is mainly taught by Teacher Rose. Xiao Shu added while maintaining a basic smile.
"Then what are you doing here?" Yue asked in a loud voice, without the slightest sense of respect, at this moment his identity is the prince of the North Ye Kingdom, as a prince, naturally he will not lower his posture because of the words of Rose and Xiao Shu.
"That is, since you don't teach the spiritual law, why should you be our teacher?"
"I've heard that new teachers will have teaching assistants who will be responsible for some chores......"
"Strange people, and carrying an umbrella, such a person can also be a teacher, I think it's better to look at the brain first. ”
Xiao Shu glanced at Yue and Ziluo deeply, then raised his head and smiled, "I am mainly responsible for your personal safety, since I am your teacher, then I don't care what your identity was before, now I am just my student." ”
"It's easy work. ”
"What danger can Ling Wannei have? I think his job is to eat and drink for nothing, live for nothing, and take money for nothing. ”
Xiao Shu didn't pay any more attention to their discussions, turned to Rose and said, "You go on." After speaking, he walked to the back of the classroom, took a chair and sat on the side of Mo Qiunian, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was sleeping against the wall.
"Aren't you angry when they say this about you?" Mo Qiunian asked in a low voice, if he was replaced, he would definitely be so angry that he couldn't speak, but Xiao Shu still looked indifferent.
"I'm going to be angry about this, I'm too tired to live, there are already too many sufferings in life, why bother to be unhappy, just do as you like. Xiao Shu said with a smile, this is mainly for Mo Qiunian, he has long looked down on joy, anger and sorrow, not only because of his selfless artistic conception, but also because of his experience.
"Teacher Xiao is learning spiritual martial arts, of course I can't teach you spiritual law, but I can tell you that his spiritual martial arts realm is much higher than you think, not to mention that respecting teachers and respecting the Tao is a basic etiquette, I think you should all understand, I won't say more, continue the topic just now, I ask you a question today, why do you want to learn spiritual dao?"
Perhaps it was the arrival of Xiao Shu and Mo Qiunian that relieved Rose's previous nervousness, making her relax a little and her speech and demeanor became much more organized.
This question is very simple, there is no way that no one can not answer, no matter what you are learning the spiritual path for, there should always be a direction, Rose wants to understand each of her students, and is committed to being a good teacher, reviving the spiritual path, even if it is just a small effort, this is what she has been asking for all her life.
Although the students are different, but there is basically no difference, most of the boys want to become knights and expand the territory for the Northern Leaf Kingdom, the young people's ambitions are always high, whether they can achieve it or not, the girls are relatively bland, some want to be a teacher like Rose, and some are just to improve their status in the family.
Only Mo Qiunian didn't say anything.
The first day of classes ended quickly, Rose didn't teach them much substance, she didn't want to put too much pressure on these children on the first day, she chose to communicate with each other more easily, but only today, and by tomorrow, they had chosen the remaining three courses, then life would become busy.
Most people are reluctant to apply for the subsistence allowance, they would rather be tired than endure more cold eyes and ridicule, but those noble children don't care at all, they even apply for the subsistence allowance as a capital to show off, and they say that they save money for the family.
On the way back, there were only Mo Qiunian and Xiao Shu left around, Rose finally really relaxed, looked at the fading sunset and let out a long breath, I thought I would not be able to cope with it, I was in a hurry, full of mistakes and omissions, but I didn't expect it to be smooth and unexpected.
"What do you think of how I played today?" asked Rose, her long burgundy hair on fire in the setting sun, and her dark bulky glasses accentuated her delicate features.
Mo Qiunian was so surprised that he didn't say anything, the only girl he had been in contact with since he was a child was Mo Ling'er, his sister, and he didn't dare to look up at Rose, even though the two had known each other for more than a month.
"It's ok. Xiao Shu said lightly.
"Hmph, you're a teaching assistant who is idle, you don't have to do anything, just doze off below and deal with it, anyway, you're also learning spiritual law, it's better to call me a teacher like Qiu Nian." Rose laughed as she spoke.
"Okay, Rose-sensei, it's okay. Xiao Shu smiled helplessly, he had no way to refute Rose, his understanding of the spiritual law was less than one percent of hers, and the name of the teaching assistant was on his face, in fact, as she said, he was just a student, looking at the innocent girl in front of him, maybe he was too suspicious, how could she be involved in such a person.
At this moment, two figures came into view, interrupting Xiao Shu's thoughts.
"Go back first, I have something to do. Xiao Shu said suddenly.
"What can you do...... Eh, what are you pulling me for?" Rose was pulled by Mo Qiunian, and her body involuntarily hit him, just hitting Mo Qiunian's tightly bandaged left hand.
"Ouch......" Mo Qiunian immediately squatted down with his left arm covered, his face painful.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm not good...... Are you alright?" Rose panicked when she saw this, her impact was not serious, and it would be bad if the wound worsened.
"It's so painful...... Mo Qiunian frowned and said in a low voice, although the wound on his left arm had already scabbed, but the knife was too deep, hurting the muscles and bones, and it was impossible to heal in just one or two days, and now he was hit again, the wound was torn again, and Yin Hong gradually penetrated the bandage.
"We'll take you to re-bandage. Rose helped Mo Qiunian up, but when she looked up again, there was still Xiao Shu's figure in front of her.
......
"Yue, why aren't the night crows here today?" the blonde boy asked, the two noble ones in front of him, even in Lingwan, had a personal guard, but how could it be abnormal today.
"Don't you think you're too wide?" Tsuki glanced at him and said coldly.
"Let's go back, brother, and ignore them. Ziluo pulled Yue's sleeve, and the two of them broke away from the group of noble young masters behind them one after the other.
The blonde boy was not angry, he stopped, did not continue to follow, and kept watching the backs of the two disappear from view.
He is the son of Nolan, the Duke of the Northern Ye Kingdom, and his status is transcendent, and among the entire Lingwan students, except for Yue and Ziluo, there is no one with a higher status than him, and there are naturally many people around him.
"Young Master Promise, the Moon Emperor has always been like this, don't you care. ”
"I'm strange, the Moon Emperor is nothing to others like this, but the young master ...... promise"
"Haven't you heard? The Night Raven was seriously injured, not to mention the guards now, he hasn't woken up yet, no wonder the Moon Emperor is in a bad mood, it's the same for everyone else. ”
"It's really fake, who in North Wind City is so bold as to dare to hurt Lord Night Crow, not to mention anything else, in terms of strength alone, who can hurt Lord Night Crow?"
"I don't know, I've just heard about it. ”
A look of disgust flashed in Promise's eyes, he really didn't like the group of people around him, if it wasn't for the family, he would rather stay alone than listen to these people buzzing in his ears like flies.
"You guys go back first, I have something to do. Promise said with a smile, not showing his boredom for half a minute.
"Young Master Promise, will you attend Lingwan's ball tonight?"
"Young Master Promise, you must come, I will wait for you, no matter who invites me, I will wait for you. ”
Although these girls were only about ten years old, the aristocracy's education in communication had always been the first, and even if he didn't talk about the identity of the promise, he was also handsome, and they were happy to talk, and the family itself encouraged this kind of behavior, and marriage was often the strongest alliance, and the status of the duke's eldest son was enough to make these girls desperate.
"Ladies, thank you for the invitation, but I'm not feeling well, I'm going to be at tonight's ball, but I'm sorry I can't dance with you. Promise politely declined their invitation, no matter how beautiful the faces of these girls in front of him were, how high their status was, but when it came to political interests, he was not interested.
"Young Master Promise, where are you uncomfortable, my family's doctor is of a very high level......"
"Your doctor is good, my personal doctor is famous in the City of North Winds...... Eh, promise young master, don't go......"
The promise no longer paid attention to them, apologized, and left quickly, he had no intention of worrying about these things now, there were not many people in the entire North Wind City who were really regarded as his friends, and Yue was one of the few, but in the last two days, Yue gave him a very strange feeling, although he was so obedient on weekdays, but he had never spoken to himself with such gunpowder as today.
His intuition told him that the Night Raven's injury must have something to do with the changes in Moon and Violet, and it was definitely not like they said that he was just in a bad mood, and something inexplicably was wrong in Promise's heart, making him very uncomfortable.
The sun is setting.
The spire of the White Spirit Pagoda is exactly fixed on the Kalachakra bead of the nineteenth.
Tonight at eight o'clock Lingwan will hold a school ball, both freshmen and graduates can participate, its original intention is to let the new students get acquainted with each other, but then it inevitably developed into a ballroom dance for the children of the nobility, and finally simply opened to the outside world, whether it is a prince or nobleman, or the common people, as long as your child is a student of Lingwan can participate, and provide free wine and food.
On this day, boys will invite the girls they like to dance, whether they really like it or not, simply socialize, they will naturally form a circle, most of the civilians are going for free food, it is difficult for them to integrate into that circle, but except for girls, they don't need status, as long as they have a good face, they may be favored by the young master of which family, longing for romantic love, of course, the premise is that the identity of the other party is noble enough.
Delicate makeup is not for anything else, just for a more comfortable life in the future, and there will always be one or two fools who don't care about identity who will believe the girl who appears at this ball.
