80 Tough Love

"Congratulations for getting a scholarship, this is your pass, school starts on the 7th" A academy like theirs didn't need to be stingy about the number of scholarships and new students so the students would be directly told the results, this was much less nerve-racking than waiting for a entire week or more to get the results like back on Earth, plus Earth's system wouldn't work here since they couldn't send the news to the participants with their current technology.

Communication was severely lacking.

Zi Hua was given a tablet, there was no plastic in this world so many things were made of ceramic, stone or metal.

"Thank you" Zi Hua received the tablet then walked forward to leave the tent from the exit flap but just as she was leaving the examiner opened his mouth.

"Be careful of bumping into others, there are many influential young masters and misses around, that is, if you really can't see"

"Thank you for the reminder" The examiner's words reminded Zi Hua that from others' point of view, she was blind, yet she was going around fine.

Pity there weren't the materials to make colored contacts in this world, she wouldn't wear them unless she had no choice back in her old world since it irritated her eyes really badly, but it was better than putting on a futile act of being blind like she was now.

The only reason she was able to make the blind fold was thanks to the runes but unfortunately, there was no material suitable to replace plastic for making contacts. (A/N: Not exactly the plastic used for water bottles but a different type of plastic, I'm too lazy to explain, just google it)

Plus she didn't want to risk damaging her vision, for an observant person like her, removing her vision was like taking away a fish's fins and gills.

She left immediately and returned to Heaven-defying artifact.

"Master~" Xiao Hong approached Zi Hua coquettishly in her baby form.

"No" Before Xiao Hong said anything she outright refused.

"Why?"

"Because it'll be dangerous, we're not in the lower continents any more, the Primordial lands' people can reach here" She knew what Xiao Hong was thinking, Xiao Hong wanted to join the academy too but it was too dangerous, Xiao Hong would be recognized rather easily due to her aura, she's still young and has not yet learned to hide her aura fully.

"Okay" Xiao Hong's feathers drooped down to emphasize her disappointment.

Zi Hua didn't want to refuse Xiao Hong but she had no choice, she would much rather put herself at risk than put her spirit beasts at risk.

She hadn't found out which powers were under her enemies' control yet due to her subordinates being in Moonlight Continent.

Xiao Hong understood that Zi Hua only did this for her sake so she didn't fuss about it any longer.

"I have a few days until school starts, so during this time, to make it up to you, I won't leave and we can play, okay?" Xiao Hong's mood immediately lifted, even Zi Hua couldn't comprehend Xiao Hong's ability to change her mood so quickly.

"Yay!" Xiao Hong went to call the others out to join since the more the merrier.

Zi Hua made some board games as well as a set of cards and some fake notes.

For the next few days, they played all sorts of games and had a good laugh with some friendly competition.

After the couples of days, Zi Hua decided to allocate a special area in the Heaven-defying artifact to playing games since Xiao Shen had to repair the place quite a few times when they became too emotional and enthusiastic.

If they were to play next time, Zi Hua would make sure that they were in a place that was isolated and away from building and the treasures, thankfully this time they were quite far away from where the treasures were kept or else Zi Hua's 'warehouse' would have become a lot smaller.
