14 The Dining Hall (1/2)
Morning came and Sofie woke up in her room at the sect ground, completely surrounded by her beloved plushies.
Yesterday, Sofie got a lot of good food to eat at the restaurant. After she got back to the sect, she immediately went to bed without seeing if someone else had moved in while she was gone with Ling Yue.
Looking around the room, Sofie saw that 2 of the rooms were open with only one looking the same as before.
Sofie did not really feel like greeting her fellow disciples at the moment and exited the house, moving towards the dinning hall to get some breakfast before she needed to go to the gathering hall for an introduction to the sect and cultivation.
Although she already had a little knowledge about cultivation, she was still excited to learn more about it.
With that in mind, Sofie quickly made her way towards the dining hall, as she excitedly hummed a song her mother used to sing her back at home.
*****
Walking through the sect grounds, Sofie soon made it to the dining hall.
The building itself was way bigger than even the gathering hall she saw when she first got her sect badge and other items.
There were disciples entering and exiting the building like a flowing stream, with someone constantly entering or exiting the dining hall.
Sofie felt amazed and quickly entered the stream of disciples entering the dining hall, soon finding herself inside.
The dining hall itself looked even bigger on the inside, with tables and chairs scattered everywhere around the inside of the building. Off to the side, what looked like a buffet was lined up with people taking something to eat before leaving soon after to sit down and eat.
Sofie was amazed at all the different foods lined up and couldn't stop herself from moving towards the buffet.
Quickly picking up the biggest plate she could find, Sofie soon started to fill it up with all the delicacies she could find. Resulting in a small mountain forming atop her plate.
”S-Sofie… You, what are you doing?” A somewhat helpless voice sounded out from behind the little girl, who was still building on her mountain top with a happy smile on her face.
Turning around, Sofie looked directly into Ling Yue's helpless eyes.
”I'm getting something to eat of course! Look at how many delicious things there is in here, I need to taste all of them!” Sofie said righteously, like she was stating an obvious truth.
A few black lines appeared on Ling Yue's face, as she looked down at the greedy junior sister in front of her. Did she not learn moderation?
”You know that you can take more than once, right?” Ling Yue asked in a somewhat irritated voice, as she started at the confused face of her junior sister. Clearly not having any knowledge of being able to take food more than once.
”B-but everyone else is only going up once and taking food…!” Sofie said with a hesitant voice, she thought her observation skills were great and had even seen the other disciple only going up once to get food, eat the food they got and then leave the dining hall soon after.
Thinking she was smart and had discovered a trick to get more food, Sofie was a little proud of her mountain filled with food. That was, before her senior sister Ling Yue showed up and ruined her illusion.
”Normal people can't eat as much as you…! And even then, there are still people going up for more…” Ling Yue really had no idea how to respond to this junior sister of hers. Was she stupid? Or maybe just an airhead?
Ling Yue thought about many different ways to describe the junior sister in front of her, but the only real explanation she could come up with was Sofie being a naturally born airhead with no equal, at least from the people she herself knew.
looking up at her lost senior sister, Sofie finally seemed to get what Ling Yue said and with her cheeks flushing slightly in embarrassment, she slowly sneaked towards an empty table behind her.
Sitting down at the table, Sofie decided to drown her embarrassment in the good food and started eating away on the mountain before her. All under the speechless look of Ling Yue.
