Xia Zhi left the library and went back to the corridor.
Noelle was still diligently mopping the floor.
Xia Zhi walked towards her: "Miss Noelle."
Noelle looked up and gave him a perfect maid's bow: "Good morning, Mr. Xia."
Xia Zhi extended an invitation: "I invited quite a few friends over for lunch. I wonder if Miss Noelle has time?"
Noelle gently shook her head and declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xia, but I still have to cook lunch for everyone at noon."
Xia Zhi didn't press the issue. He just thought Noel was a nice kid, and since they had run into each other, he casually invited him.
He suddenly remembered what Charlene had told him.
"Miss Noelle seems to enjoy watching Yao Yao practice shooting?"
"Ah."
"Miss Noelle, are you perhaps trying to learn new techniques by drawing parallels from other people's marksmanship?"
"……Um."
"I see. However, this method requires a high level of skill from you. I wonder how many years Miss Noelle has trained with guns?"
Noelle suddenly blushed.
"Miss Noelle?"
"I...I've never practiced shooting."
"Never practiced shooting?"
"Yes, I'm actually using a greatsword."
Xia Zhi fell silent.
No, you're a newbie using a greatsword, and you actually want to learn and master techniques by watching other people's spear techniques? Isn't that a bit wrong with your approach?
"I wonder what Miss Noelle has found?"
"I... gained nothing... I just thought that little girl named Yao Yao's shooting practice was very interesting, so I wanted to watch more and learn more..."
"Is that your original intention...? Miss Noel is training hard every day to become a full-fledged knight, right?"
"Yes!"
What kind of swordsmanship are you practicing?
"West Wind Sword Technique!"
"Could you demonstrate a couple of moves for me?"
"Listen to it?"
"Since I cannot see, I can only rely on my hearing to distinguish things."
"Is this even possible?"
Noelle was very surprised.
Xia Zhi said softly, "Yes, Miss Noelle can use the mop in her hand as a greatsword and practice a couple of moves."
This request is not unreasonable; it's just a small favor for Noelle.
Noelle practices hard every day and also wishes someone could give her some advice.
She gripped the mop in her hand and said softly, "Then I'll begin."
She was afraid that her voice would disturb Xia Zhi's ability to hear the sword strikes, so she immediately shut her mouth after speaking.
Then, she began to practice the West Wind Sword Technique in the corridor, following her daily rhythm.
Xia Zhi possesses the skill of the [Martial God]: directly becoming a master of spearmanship and a master of all weapons.
Although his skill with the greatsword is not as high as his skill with the spear, his mastery level is still sufficient to guide a beginner.
After watching Noelle's training from God's perspective, he roughly understood her true level.
When Noel finished practicing, he walked over, slightly out of breath, and asked, "Mr. Xia, how did you hear it?"
Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, then slowly began to recount the various mistakes she had made during the training and the methods for improvement.
Noelle's eyes widened as she listened, and the light in them grew brighter.
She could tell that everything Mr. Xia said was extremely helpful advice to her.
so amazing!
If Mr. Xia could actually spot all the errors in her swordsmanship just by listening, then his own swordsmanship must be extremely profound.
After Xia Zhi finished speaking, he said softly, "Did you understand everything? If there's anything you didn't understand, I can explain it to you again."
Noel nodded quickly: "I understand everything, thank you for your guidance, Mr. Xia."
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "It's alright, I just got into the mood and wanted to help you. Work hard, you have a good foundation. If you can absorb everything I just said, you'll definitely become a true knight."
Noelle earnestly agreed: "I will."
"I need to go back and cook, so I'll take my leave now."
"Take care, Mr. Xia."
Watching Mr. Xia's departing figure, Noelle's eyes were filled with respect and admiration.
She glanced at the head of the troupe's office and thought to herself, "A good teacher like Mr. Xia can't possibly be the kind of scumbag you find in novels."
Qin, the troupe leader, is also a very respectable person, and certainly could not be the kind of woman depicted in the novel.
The troupe leader and Mr. Xia must have been discussing something important in the office, which is why they locked the door.
As for why the ensemble leader was blushing and sweating, perhaps it was because she had a fever?
Thinking about this, Noelle became a little worried. She hesitated for a moment, then walked to the office door and knocked.
Then, the band leader's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Noelle opened the door: "It's me, Commander Qin."
"Noelle, is something the matter?"
"I……"
Noelle originally wanted to check on the headmistress, telling her to see the priest if she felt unwell.
But when she opened the door and looked over, she found that the troupe leader looked great, radiant, and didn't look sick or tired at all.
Noelle paused for a moment, then said, "Commander Jean, are you hungry? I'll bring you some snacks."
"dessert?"
The troupe leader was taken aback and instinctively wanted to refuse.
After all, she has indeed gained weight in the past few days.
You should control your diet.
But then she thought of Mr. Xia's massage techniques that could help with weight loss.
If I just go to Mr. Xia for a massage every now and then, I should be able to do what those girls do and not have to diet so hard, right?
After thinking it over, the troupe leader finally suppressed the thought in her heart.
"Never mind, it's fine..."
Noelle silently closed the door.
If the troupe leader didn't have a fever, then perhaps she was busy with something at the time, such as finding some important information for Mr. Xia. Because there was so much information and Mr. Xia was blind, the troupe leader had to search through it all by herself, which is why she was sweating from exhaustion.
Yes, that should be it!
Noelle picked up the mop again, and couldn't help but use it as a greatsword to practice her West Wind Sword Technique.
Following Mr. Xia's advice, she modified her moves and found them much smoother to practice.
Mr. Xia is really amazing.
It's a pity he's blind; otherwise, at such a young age, he might have become a master swordsman.

Besides these few guests he had invited.
There were also a few guests who were invited by other girls.
Keli, Amber, Sugar...
Xia Zhi returned to the West Wind Church, entered the Dust Song Pot, and began preparing to cook.
Although he was slightly delayed by the massage and guidance, it wasn't a big problem, since he had the ability to speed up time.
Xiangling and Guoba helped him in the kitchen as usual.
Xia Zhi first prepared the "God Jumps Over the Wall" soup, followed by the "Hundred Herbs Soup".
He prepared every dish today according to the extra-large portion size requirement, but when it was served, it was still served on a normal plate. The rest of the dishes were put into his inventory.
The invited guests arrived one after another.
