Chapter 186: First Day of Class
The next day, the trio led their students to the new place selected as their new home. Their belongings were still stowed in the space rings, so there was a minimal need for packing. They simply rode over to the Southern Dark Spot, directly to their new residence.
Before they could rush in to assess the estate, Li Lang gave them some instructions first.
“You’re all to be on cleaning duty for the entire morning. We must clean this place nicely before lunch, and we will then allocate the rooms based on your performance. Then, lessons will begin in the late afternoon. Are there any questions?”
The kids looked around at each other, but no one said anything.
“Then get to it!”
Immediately, a competitive glint could be seen from many of them. It was their chance to secure better living quarters, and many were eager to show off. After all, many of them had grade-one aptitude, so they were excited at this chance to cultivate.
However, the excitement quickly died down as soon as they entered the main house. It wasn’t because they already felt daunted at the task of cleaning, but simply due to the lack of light inside.
As the place hadn’t had anyone living in it for some time, there were no lit candles or crystals to illuminate the interiors. Being located in a dark spot, the young children who had yet to master channelling Qi into their eyes could only wait for their eyes to adjust. Even then, they relied on the small bit of light leaking from the outside.
One of the more sharp-minded children quickly realized their predicament and ran up to Li Lang.
“Teacher Li, can you lend us a light source?”
Li Lang glanced down at the kid with an amused expression.
“Xiao Dong, was it? Sorry, but you kids will have to rely on yourselves. Search around for materials and use that brain of yours or let your eyes adjust. Just don’t accidentally burn down the place. We’ll be watching.”
