: "Returning to the Academy"
Early the next morning, Sima You Yue climbed onto the beast carriage that would bring her to the academy. This carriage was similar to those carriages in her past life, except that the ones pulling it were not horses but were Spirit Beasts.
Sima Lie had arranged a wolf carriage for Sima You Yue and standing before the carriage, were four majestic and magnificent Storm Wolves, every single one of them a fifth low-ranked beast.
Low-ranked spirit beasts, sought by many as a contract beast, however, it was used to pull a carriage for Sima You Yue instead. This had garnered a lot of attention as people could only smile wryly at this luxury.
"Fourth Brother, wheres Third Brother?" She could not help but ask as she looked around the massive carriage and saw that it was only the two of them that were seated in this spacious and comfortable carriage.
"Oh, he went out earlier to meet with his classmates to do a mission today, so he had left earlier before dawn." He casually replied.
"Went out on a mission?" Sima You Yue asked in a surprised tone as she look wide eyed at her Brother, imploring him to explain further.
Sima You Le closed the book that he was reading as he looked up and patiently explained. "The Academy is not only a place for studying theory, its also a place to gain some experience. The Academy occasionally arranges some missions for students to accomplish. They have various missions catered to different levels and these missions are usually not too difficult. This time, he's gone out for a field Mission so it would take him some time to complete it. I dont think he will be back anytime soon."
"That explains it" Sima You Yue nodded with a satisfied expression, it seems life at the Academy wont be so boring after all!
"I forgot to tell you last night that the Academy is holding their entrance selection for two days and it just started yesterday, so if you are interested you can go and have a look. Ill be busy the entire morning as Ive a prior engagement with my Master so Im afraid that I do not have the time to accompany you. If you want to go and have a look, can you wait till after lunch? I can meet you then and we can have a look together." Sima You Le said.
"Dont worry so much, no need to trouble you, if you are busy dont let me hold you up. If Im interested, I can just head over on my own." She shook her head and and refused.
She knew that her Brother was concerned about her and was worried that shed be bored or someone may find trouble with her. But she could not rely on him all the time, at such an age, she was already old enough to be independent, moreover the soul was more mature than the body.
"Yue Er has really grown up!" Sima You Le could not help but looked at her warmly as he smiled in appreciation.
Cold sweat.
Sima You Le's comment made her speechless, he was only three years older and yet the way he spoke was as if he was much older than her! She quickly cast her gaze outside the window to cover the awkwardness she felt. Outside, the street was hustling and bustling with activity, as Sima You Le had mentioned earlier, it was time for the selection for the Academy hence the capital was particularly lively this time of the year.
The wolf carriage brought them directly to the front gates of the Academy and Sima You Le brought her to her classroom and repeatedly nagged and fussed to make sure she had no problems before leaving.
The moment she entered the classroom, the was a moment of silence. The appearance of Sima You Yue made everyone stare in shock, seconds later, jeerings were heard as whistles and boos were thrown in the mix.
"Why is the trash in our classroom?"
"Haha, maybe hes here to check out the freshman! Ive heard that this years selection have quite a few handsome men!"
Another voice cried out in exaggeration.
Boisterous laughter filled the classroom as more voices chimed in.
"Ive heard that he had harassed Murong An to the point that his followers almost killed him!"
"No wonder hes been missing for so long, he was actually recuperating at home!"
