Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

Beach Vacation Part 8

(PS: Only one chapter today)

Human beings are destined to embark on a long and unpredictable journey in this world. Many places you think you're going to may not be reached in the end, and many things you think you'll never touch will become commonplace. In the long journey of life, everything is unpredictable. When embarking on a path, excessive lamentation about responsibilities and the road ahead is of no use.

But even if you understand this principle, it doesn't mean you can always make the right choice. When you actually stand at that crossroads in life, many people still don't know where to turn.

Ying Qin Guan stopped in his tracks.

he's lost.

"It's not my fault. All beaches look the same, and the ocean looks the same too. There are no landmarks at all. So it's perfectly reasonable to get lost. In fact, I can't really call myself lost. I was just looking for a convenience store. Once I found the convenience store and bought some toilet paper, I couldn't find my way back. That's what being lost is all about!"

A real platypus will be stubborn even when talking to itself!

Deceiving others is nothing special; deceiving yourself is a real skill!

As they walked, they arrived at another beach. It seemed that the teachers of the Seven Stars were gathered here. The scene was quite surprising. The teachers from the Social Sciences and Arts departments were playing volleyball and sketching, while the teachers from the Magic department were electrofishing... but not on a large scale. They were just using a spell to kill the fish one by one, repeatedly teetering on the edge of illegality.

The teachers in the martial arts department are involved in... wrestling? gang fights? They can be involved in anything, after all, they're a group of muscle-bound people who create conflict even when there isn't any, and everyone keeps their distance from them.

"Good fight!"

"Let's do it!"

"Holy crap! Sand got in my eye!"

The combative group formed a circle, watching their colleague make a fool of himself, occasionally offering sharp comments—but if they went too far, they risked being dragged in and beaten up.

Ji Fa sat to one side, resting her hand on her forehead, looking as if she were distancing herself from the martial arts department.

Ying Qin Guan was used to this. Martial artists only think about fighting. Take Wu Changying, for example. He was seventy or eighty years old and his strength was far inferior to Ying Qin Guan's. Yet, he wanted to have a fight when they first met. Another example is Ji Fa, who was defeated by Ying Qin Guan once but was still not convinced. Later, on Qixi Festival, she challenged Ying Qin Guan to a duel. The ending is self-evident.

"This is really noisy."

Ying Qin Guan sat down next to Ji Fa and casually started a conversation.

Ji Fa glanced at Ying Qin Guan. She was wearing a rather conservative swimsuit, but it still accentuated her quite nice figure. Her long purple hair cascaded down her back, making her look like a jewel from the Dream Forest.

"It's always been like this... And you? I just saw you. What were you doing with the dean and the others?"

"It's a long story. I just caught a huge lobster, they said it was some kind of tribulation transcendent..." Ying Qin Guan paused, then got to the point, "Do you know where there's a convenience store?"

"What do you want to buy?" Ji Fa asked. "The convenience store is quite far away. I bought everything before I left and put it in the car over there."

She gestured with her chin, pointing to a car parked across the beach, which contained a variety of items. Ying Qin Guan glanced over and immediately saw a series of supplies, including a barbecue grill.

"I think they should have what I need over there..."

Ying Qin Guan stood up and walked over there, where he indeed found tissues.

He grabbed a tissue and looked back the way he came... Well, now he was truly lost; Ying Qin Guan had completely forgotten where that private beach was.

But he had to go back; three people were waiting for him in hell... and there might be more. The public toilet seemed to be neglected; the toilet paper hadn't been replenished in who knows how long. There were probably a few unlucky souls in the women's restroom as well.

Thinking about it this way, the task on my shoulders is indeed heavy.

"No matter how long the road is, you have to walk it on your own."

"Just hang in there a little longer, the toilet paper will be here soon!"

Ying Qinguan took a step forward.

"I didn't get lost, I was just captivated by the scenery of the sea and stopped for a while."

—These are the words he spoke at 11:30 p.m., when the Nephalem and their group, having escaped their predicament, found Ying Qin Pass in some secluded corner of the beach.

-

"Everyone..."

Nephalem spoke, his voice heavy. He said in a low voice, "I think we need to consider saving ourselves. Knowing Ying Qin Pass as I do, he's not back yet, so it'll be very difficult for him to come back on his own."

"It's all because of you!"

"that is!"

“Is it useful to say all this now?” Nephalem shook his head and said, “If you keep dwelling on this kind of thing, you’ll only end up drowning in this neglected public toilet.”

"Now that things have come to this, how can we save ourselves?" Jiu Yi sighed and said, "Which of you two is willing to sacrifice yourself, just go out into the sea to wash yourself and then go get paper for others?"

"Oh.."

What do you think?

"I think so too..."

"Ying Qin Pass only had enough paper for one person, so it shouldn't have been given to this directionally challenged person! The matter would have ended much earlier!"

"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? There's no point in assigning blame or reviewing the situation now..."

The Nephalem shook its head and said, "What do you all have on you?"

"What's on your body...?"

The three of them had just finished swimming, so what could they possibly have on them? They each checked themselves, and then Nephalem's expression changed. He pulled out a Sea Child jellyfish from behind his back.

A low-level magical beast, I don't know when it got stuck in my pants and then climbed onto my clothes.

He said in a deep voice, "I have a bold idea."

Upon hearing this, Jiu felt a chill run down his spine.

"Stop! People can't..."

"I also think it's impossible." Nephalem sighed and handed the jellyfish over from below. "Do either of you know how to do it?"

What do you think?

"Ugh."

Nefertari sighed and then rummaged through his body again.

"Hey, how about this...?"

He handed over a piece of seaweed from below.

"...Why can you still pull out seaweed?"

"Just tell me if it works!"

"Go to hell!"

What about "Yu Xie Tian"?

"Go to hell..."

"People these days are so delicate. You know there are poor people in the world who can't afford toilet paper and have to make do with stones. Seaweed is soft, won't hurt your bottom, and cleans well, yet they won't accept that..."

Nefertari sighed deeply and then rummaged through his body again.

"Hey, that's enough already. What else do you expect to find on him? No matter how hard you try, there's nothing there..."

Hiss...

A strange voice interrupted Jiu Yi's speech. He looked down and saw a thick, large sea snake being handed to him from below, its tongue flicking out, its snake eyes staring directly at Jiu Yi.

"How about this one?!"

Beach Vacation Part 9

Ultimately, no one knows how the three escaped. It became an unsolvable mystery, buried deep in their hearts. When Ying Qin Guan later asked about it, they just laughed it off, saying that someone had come and taken care of it.

Ying Qin Guan was skeptical, feeling that this was not the truth, but all three of them remained tight-lipped about it.

In the following days, everyone rejoined the main group, presumably out of fear that such a scene would happen again.

In the past few days, Qi Yao and his group, led by Ye Qu, have been up to a lot of fun, such as a bonfire party, which later inexplicably turned into a drinking contest. Such leisurely days are rare. Ying Qin Guan and Shen Xin were also involved. These two are truly extraordinary. Before they started drinking, they were full of boasting, but after they started, they were already passed out. Pretending to be cool, drinking, vomiting, being stubborn/acting crazy while drunk were all done in one go. They are truly outstanding people.

"I'd like ten beef skewers."

"Okay! Coming right away!"

"Grilled lobster, with extra minced garlic!"

"Right away...right away!"

"Three skewers of chicken gizzards, two skewers of potato slices, five skewers of enoki mushrooms, all extra spicy; one skewer each of beef, tripe, and tendon to try, just make sure they're mildly spicy, remember not to overcook them; one serving of lamb tenderloin, just add cumin; a few skewers of chicken wings, remember to soak them in lemon water and sprinkle with cornstarch and scallion oil; a few scallops, remember to add vermicelli; one serving of grilled eggplant, add extra minced garlic; and..."

"Um... Miss Hime, could you repeat that? It was too fast, I didn't hear you clearly."

"Where's the loose fish I ordered? Why isn't it ready yet?"

"...Were you a little... just now?"

"I've already mentally confirmed it!"

"Who knows what's going on in your mind! I'm not a mind reader!"

"Tsk, this is what bad service staff are like. They can't understand the needs of their guests, and when problems arise, they try to shirk responsibility..."

Yu Xietian finally lost his temper. He wanted to overturn the barbecue grill and yell, "Then don't eat it!" But then he remembered his empty wallet and immediately held back. He lowered his voice and said to Shen Xin, "What are you looking at! Come and help me! This is the Yorozuya's job!"

—That's right, the Yorozuya's finances had deteriorated to the point that even with the boss covering their travel expenses, they were still struggling to survive. Yu Xietian had no choice but to find work. Thus, he became a barbecue stall owner, doing whatever he was asked of, with the ingredients, of course, brought by the teachers from the Imperial Academy themselves.

But what's really giving me a headache is that first, that damned Ying Qin Guan was making a scene while ordering food, and then Shen Xin was refusing to work and adding insult to injury. Yu Xietian's patience is about to reach its limit, and he's about to kill this pair of scoundrels.

"What...what did you say? I'm just a teenage girl, not even of legal working age yet, and you're forcibly conscripting child laborers? Adults are terrifying..."

Shenxin showed no intention of getting up to work, lazily lying in the chair and casually picking up the small blackboard.

"By the way, get me one of the same as what Ji Fa ordered."

"I'd never make it for you! If you want to eat it, you'd better make it yourself! Besides, who can remember such a long recipe!"

"Oh, I see. Can't remember? Then I'll repeat it again: three skewers of chicken gizzards, two skewers of potato slices, five skewers..."

"Stop reading!"

Yu Xietian was like a monkey being driven to the brink of collapse by Tang Sanzang's rap.

Ji Fa remained expressionless, but Ying Qin Guan had a vague feeling that... this guy had also discovered the fun of persecuting Yu Xie Tian, ​​this honest man.

In fact, Ying Qin Guan is more like an honest person than Yu Xie Tian, ​​but he can be stubborn and will bite when he gets angry. Over time, apart from Shen Xin, no one dares to confront him head-on. Only Yu Xie Tian never fights back or talks back, making him one of the ten most touching figures of the Seven Luminaries.

It's true... they learn bad things instead of good ones.
