The next morning Zi Hua went into class like normal but she could feel the change in the atmosphere when she entered, giving a helpless sigh Zi Hua decided to just leave it, she had made her decision on showing respect to Zhao Lao Hu so there was no going back.
Although Zi Hua had made up her mind on going to a school once again but scars aren't easily healed and she still has some lingering anxiety.
Despite having some dissatisfactions, the proud young masters and misses found that Zi Hua was too lowly for their great selves to deal with so they didn't bother with her, plus Zhao Lao Hu was more talented than her and it was only the matter with experience and time.
They weren't stupid, Zi Hua was a scholarship student, going against her was equivalent to disrespecting the academy.
They would much rather spend their time studying than bullying some commoner who didn't deserve their time lest they get berated by their elders for wasting resources and slacking off.
Although arrogant and spoiled, it didn't mean that they were uneducated like those from the Xia Family that Zi Hua had previously faced in Starlight Continent. (A/N: If you don't remember, this is referring to the General's Manor)
Teacher Peng arrived in class and started talking about some stuff that went in a quarter of the class' right ear and out the left ear.
Today, they had nothing after the lesson just before lunch break so after eating lunch, Anqi Feng arranged to go shopping in the city with Zi Hua.
The city was located just outside the academy and merchants often went in and out of the city to profit from the wealthy young aristocrats that liked to splurge.
It was the same city which the entrance exams were held but it was less crowded now and composed of mainly the academy's students.
"Where do you want to go first?" Zi Hua inquired.
"Let's go to the market!" Despite referring to it as a market, it was actually full of valuable stuff, it was just that due to the large number of merchants vying to sell their goods here, the shops have all been taken and those who did not manage to get a shop opened stalls in the market.
Students all had varying schedules so there were also others from other classes and year groups here.
A year group was actually not based on their age but rather when they entered the academy, each year group had a class for each cultivation level.
The two walked around the stalls, they had wanted to invite Anqi Qing Shan but she was preoccupied with the mandatory duty of mingling with other aristocrats.
"Zi Hua does anything catch your attention? If you like anything, I can buy it for you" Despite her complicated situation within her family, the two sisters were treated extremely well thanks to their talent and the clan was not stingy about giving them money and resources, that was also how they managed to pay the entrance fees without notifying their clan to get the money for the fees.
"No, it's fine, you should just get what you like, I have what I need already" Zi Hua didn't want to impose of Anqi Feng since her situation was not what Anqi Feng thought it was, she was becoming guilty for deceiving such a sincere and genuine girl.
"Oh, ok then, but if anything that catches your fancy I'll buy it for you" Anqi Feng didn't want to press the matter further since Zi Hua was being considerate when she was rejecting her.
If Zi Hua was some gold-digging b*tch then Anqi Feng would've gotten extorted from.
Anqi Feng's naivety reminded her of her cute little Xiao Hong, making Zi Hua view Anqi Feng as her unofficial daughter.
