“This guy really knows how to take care of people!” She glanced at the clean clothes neatly placed by Yan Ye on the steps beside her. They were the black clothes she usually wore. One could vaguely see silver threads woven into flowers at the cuffs. Upon closer look, they were actually blooming spider lilies that were especially plump. Layers of petals piled up, slightly dazzling under the sunlight.
The spider lily was said to be the symbol of Yan City. Who knew what kind of commotion it would cause if she wore this outfit outside!
There were clothes in the ring, but Beiting Huang still put them on. For no other reason than that someone had prepared and taken care of everything for her. She really liked the feeling of being doted on.
When he came out of the house, Yan Ye was standing under the cherry tree in the courtyard. Large pink and white flowers were blooming in clusters. The clusters of cherry blossoms were dazzlingly beautiful, but they were qualified to be the background of this man. He was wearing a purple brocade robe that was dragged on the ground, and his wide sleeves could not hide his hands that were carved from white jade. He reached out a hand to Beiting Huang like a cherry blossom outside the fence. His light pink fingernails were like a beauty who had stolen wine and had a red flush.
His face was as beautiful as nature. It was unknown if it was because of the light or if it was because his face was inherently proportionate from the tip of his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes to his temples. His pair of purple eyes, without the layer of ice that separated them, looked gentle. He was like the Heavenly Wolf Star before dawn on a winter night. He was especially dazzling and gentle like spring water.
“Let’s go, I’ll send you there!”
He took a look at Beiting Huang’s clothes and held her hand. The ring on his finger touched Beiting Huang’s lightly, and Beiting Huang could feel that there were many things in the ring, most of which were for daily use.
His other hand gently caressed Beiting Huang’s face, and a silver mask covered her face. “The new student training is about to begin. Every year, the new student training is in the forest behind the Empire Academy. Quests are very simple. You just have to pass through the forest alive. Most of the magical beasts inside are spirit beasts, and holy beasts rarely appear. However, what you need to pay attention to the most is none other than the older students from the previous years.”
“Senior students?” Beiting Huang was led out by Yan Ye. “Isn’t it a freshman training? Why are there senior students participating?”
“This is the tradition of the Empire Academy! I think you’ve heard that every new student will be allocated 1,000 spiritual points when they enter the academy. Spirit points are a resource that all students have to snatch to survive in the Empire Academy. The Empire Academy doesn’t prohibit students from fighting, as long as no one dies,��� Yan Ye explained.
“In other words, every year’s freshmen training is a good opportunity for those senior students to snatch spiritual points?” Beiting Huang was so angry that she wanted to curse. However, when she thought that this rule might have been set by her teacher, Dean Nan Ling, she gave up on the idea.
“Huang’er, the academy nurtures the strong. The Empire Academy is something that provides legal or political cover for someone to the outside world. Internally. no matter if it’s the new students or the old. they are treated equally. They won’t be biased because they’re new students. If you want to be valued by the academy, you have to show your strength and let the academy know that there is value in nurturing you,” Yan Ye said. “Moreover, I believe many people will feel complacent about entering the Empire Academy. The academy might not be doing this without any intention of suppressing the arrogance of the new students.”
“That’s right!” Beiting Huang raised her fist.. “Hmph, then let me represent this batch of new students and let those seniors see that new students are not to be bullied!”
