Chapter 104 - Enrollment
Chapter 104 - Enrollment
The only person that Bai Rouyun fully trusted was Li Moyun. The reason she trusted him was not only because he was the first person whom she had seen when she came back alive, but it was also because he had always been good to her, and even when knowing about the treasures she had in hand, he was first and foremost trying to protect her.
Qin Huiling was a new friend, and while Bai Rouyun liked her, she still had to spend more time with her to understand her personality fully.
As a result, she did not go to the auction house to sell her Marrow Cleansing Pills yet but waited for a time when the school started, and she could sneak out.
Although Qin Huiling was living with her right now, she was likely to move to the dormitory when the school truly started. It was just because of the lack of available inns that she was currently living in Bai Rouyun’s courtyard.
But Bai Rouyun truly valued Qin Huiling. From what she could see, she was a straightforward and very simple girl, albeit slightly naive.
She did not seem like the kind of person who could harm a fly, her lips always tugged up into a smile, and her eyes were sparkling with happiness.
Spending time with her was enjoyable, and Bai Rouyun spent a few days in relaxed happiness before it was time for the enrollment procedures.
Everyone who had either gotten an invitation card or passed the trials would have to go to the academy to get sorted into the classes that they belonged to.
They would be ranked according to strength, and Bai Rouyun would definitely end up in the lowest class.
It was not that her actual combat ability was low; she had just begun cultivating later than others. Hence her cultivation base was not as profound as others.
But not many were aware of this. Looking at her, she looked exactly like a vase. Very pretty but, in fact, useless.
As they arrived at the institute, they found that many were looking at them. Some were looking at Bai Rouyun with curiosity, but not many looked at her with greedy eyes. Although she was extremely beautiful, she was a married woman who belonged to another man.
Even if they felt regretful, no one wanted to split up a couple. To be the one who separated a couple, they would be cursed for the rest of their lives.
Not to mention, her husband was no ordinary person. It was Prince Yun! Li Moyun of the Richu Empire, the God of War. He was truly a legend, and rumors had it that he was quite fond of his wife.
Bai Rouyun saw the Crown Prince and his entourage of bootlickers, and a smile crept up on her face, but she quickly looked away again. It was not time to tear her face with them yet.
She and Qin Huiling were being split apart, they did not end up in the same classes, they ended up a few grades apart, and while Qin Huiling was extremely unhappy with this, Bai Rouyun was quite pleased.
She would have some extra freedom to visit the auction house, and also some time to deal with other things that were not appropriate to bring Qin Huiling along with.
The class that Bai Rouyun ended in was called the twentieth class. There were twenty classes in total, and ending up in this one was genuinely unlucky.
Many of the people who had ended up in the class were embarrassed and dared not look at anyone. Some of the women had tears in their eyes, and some of the younger men had stern expressions on their faces, but only Bai Rouyun seemed carefree and casual.
It was as if she had not realized that she was in the worst class within the institute and that resources would be almost impossible to gain in the future.
After reporting in the classroom, Bai Rouyun raised an eyebrow in surprise. Although the Blue Water Institute was quite famous, the classroom belonging to the twentieth class was worn down and old.
The teacher who was seated behind the desk was an old man, who seemed not to have had any progress for many years in his cultivation, and his eyes were sharp like a hawk’s.
He did not look at the students pleasingly, and when they had all come in and found a place to sit down, he snorted at their appearances.
"I will not teach you anything," he said. "I will be here every day from daybreak until noon, and if you want to pretend to take classes, you can come. If you want to do something else, do that, I do not care what you do.
"If you want to go to another class, increase your strength. Also, as a member of the twentieth class, you will not be given any resources by the academy, everything will depend on your own ability."
Hearing what he said, most of the people despaired immediately, but the old man was surprised to see that Bai Rouyun was just looking at him curiously. She then stood up from the chair, gently removed the dust from her white dress, and left the room.
She did not seem upset or frustrated, but she just left, and everyone was shocked.
The old man narrowed his eyes as he looked at her leaving, but he said nothing. She seemed to have understood his words, while the others were still seated in the class, hoping to get something from him.
He could not help but pity these weak sheep. They had done everything to enter the institute, but they were, in fact, just used as a means for the stronger and more talented students to show off.
