Chapter 836: Chapter 838: Want to Get Closer? (6 Updates)
Nian Shutong left the small courtyard and went to the Qiankun Mirror, which is also the new Ti Training Room.
Her departure was very discreet. As the owner of the Qiankun Mirror, once inside, Nian Shutong had her own private space, and she maximized the flow of ti to start learning arrays.
After a day and a night, Nian Shutong ca out of the Qiankun Mirror in a hurry to attend class, but suddenly rembered sothing and detoured back to the courtyard.
“Why are you coming from this direction?” Aunt i routinely handed Nian Shutong a lunch box, which she took without explanation and left.
Aunt i looked at Nian Shutong’s back suspiciously, muttering, “What’s the rush?”
Just as Aunt i turned to leave, she spun around abruptly, her eyes bursting with a spark-like light.
She ca back from that direction?
Could it be intentional?
Upon this thought, Aunt i happily jumped up with a broom in hand.
Humming a cheerful tune, Aunt i held the top of the broom with one hand, waving the other in the air, her waist twisting and her steps following, simple yet captivating.
Hua Yuan, walking from a distance, saw the person in front of him twisting left and right, dressed in the school janitor’s uniform.
“Is the robot malfunctioning?”
Hua Yuan approached, intending to shut down the robot.
It’s no wonder he thought so, as the job was done by robots, with hardly any humans applying.
But as Hua Yuan got closer, he finally realized sothing was off; no matter how advanced interstellar technology was, it wouldn’t make robots look human-like.
Due to robot-induced upheavals and civil wars in interstellar history, and not just once.
Therefore, nowadays, interstellar people only make the simplest robots for so labor, but all must remain distinctly robotic in appearance, avoiding overly complex humanoid designs.
Everything is to prevent a robot uprising.
So, when Hua Yuan walked in, he finally noticed sothing was wrong.
“Hello, are you the academy’s janitor?”
With her dance steps, Aunt i turned around elegantly, her long black hair creating a perfect arc in the air.
In Hua Yuan’s eyes, all of this played out in slow motion until he saw Aunt i’s face clearly.
“You… you… hello.”
Hua Yuan stamred.
Aunt i really didn’t recognize Hua Yuan. Being a very low-key principal, they had no interactions, so they really didn’t know each other.
“Hello, are you a teacher at the school?” Aunt i’s radiant smile once again left Hua Yuan nodding dizzily.
After nodding, Hua Yuan watched as Aunt i walked past him, leaving a lingering fragrance in the air.
Once Aunt i was far enough away, Hua Yuan’s mind finally returned to normal. Holding his small bundle, he walked towards Nian Shutong’s neighboring room.
He even thought to ask about the “janitor,” only to get the response that she’s more capable than a robot.
Ultimately, he also learned the janitor’s na: i Zini.
As a single aristocrat, Hua Yuan was completely unaware of his series of recent psychological changes, only convincing himself that i Zini was a good na.
Having learned the na and daily route in charge, Hua Yuan felt much more at ease. Once again as the profound principal, he knocked on the small courtyard’s door.
When Wu Yi opened the door, he was really a bit stunned.
What is the principal doing here?
“Hello Principal Hua, what brings you here?”
“It’s nothing really. I’ve been researching so things lately. It’s inconvenient to keep traveling back and forth, so I wanted to stay on campus, but all the good rooms are taken. Considering Wu Yi, you’re living alone with three rooms, let be your roommate.”
“Rest assured, we each get a room, and I won’t interfere with you.”
Standing by the door, Wu Yi had no choice but to step aside and watched as Hua Yuan, carrying his own bundle, pushed open one of the room doors and went inside.
Wu Yi was naturally displeased, but he had no reason to refuse.
He was just a temporary lodger, he couldn’t possibly kick out the principal of the Imperial Military Academy, could he?
It’s just that Hua Yuan ca at an inopportune ti.
Also, where has Nian Shutong gone?
He ca specifically to win her over, but she was nowhere to be found.
At that mont, Nian Shutong hurriedly attended an Alchemy Class, and as soon as it was over, she left.
In the Artifact Refining Room, the twenty-three people including five professors all felt sothing unusual in the air today, like an awkward disturbance.
“Professor Nian didn’t say a word today!”
“What do you an she didn’t speak? Didn’t you attend the class?”
“No, I an, why didn’t she… critique us?”
“That’s right, I’ve gotten used to it.”
“She’s right, the sudden absence feels a bit awkward.”
“Let summarize this for everyone; it’s called banter syndro. We’re dood.”
Amid the laughs and chatter, everyone was a bit worried inside, for Nian Shutong was far too different today.
Professor Zhou looked at everyone and said, “Mind your own business. Professor Nian’s matters are not for you and to intervene.”
With Professor Zhou’s words, everyone naturally listened.
Alchemy Class dismissed.
Nian Shutong then hurried back to the Qiankun Mirror, continuing her studies.
Every day was busy and tightly scheduled, and this continued for half a month.
In half a month, Aunt i was certain Nian Shutong ca back specifically to see her.
She figured becoming an “acquainted” aunt wasn’t hard at all.
For half a month, the twenty-three people in the Artifact Refining Departnt were spared from Nian Shutong’s ntal assaults, and instead of advancing, their refining regressed, which was indeed strange!
In those half a month, Hua Yuan turned into a teacher with very few classes in front of Aunt i, while Aunt i beca a diligent janitor in front of Hua Yuan.
As for Aunt i’s “ticulously styled” attire, Hua Yuan’s blind eyes simply didn’t see it.
Besides, Hua Yuan also acted as a good roommate, although the main target, Nian Shutong, didn’t show up.
Among all these people, the most frustrated was Wu Yi.
He originally had only a three-month vacation, planning to use it to at least build a mutual fondness with Nian Shutong, but where was she?
A whole half month had passed, and he couldn’t find her at all.
After half a month, Nian Shutong erged from the Qiankun Mirror with a scroll in hand.
It was still morning. She carried the scroll and returned to find Aunt i.
“See if you like it today, don’t you?”
“And this bag, it’s clothes and shoes your auntie prepared for you.”
Nian Shutong accepted everything, and thanked Aunt i, who quickly waved her hands, saying, “No need between us.”
Listening to Aunt i’s words, Nian Shutong hooked her finger, asking Aunt i, “Do you want us to beco even closer?”
Beco closer? Aunt i thought.
Aunt i stepped up, lowered her head, and said to Nian Shutong, “What mischief are we up to? Don’t worry, whatever you need to do, I ensure it’s perfectly handled.”
“How did you know I was up to no good?”
“Is there even a need to ask? Only when making mischief together can you build a deeper connection.”
