Chapter 39 - After math.

Calmly she concealed her presence as well as she could. Standing among the crowd of 50 or something girls, Ye FengTian seemed to be a statue. Still and unmoving.

"Alright. This year's entrance exam has been shortened to only a two day examination. One will be on musical and artistic knowledge. Another will be on history. The first exam will be in this very room. The second one will be outside in the courtyard. The first exam will commence tomorrow morning. This is the new decree by the emperor..." Madam Wu read out stoically. Her usual manner returned within an instance. She seemed to be unbothered about the recent ȧssassination attempt.

"One more thing. No one is to speak about the events that occurred today. Do not question why. Or else...I believe I do not need to say anymore. You are all dismissed." She finally finished. Turning around swiftly, madam Wu left.

'Artistic and musical knowledge...' Ye FengTian felt like a whole building had just crushed her. Her eyes were so gloomy despite her face seeming so emotionless. She sat there for a full minute sulking over the upcoming torture that everyone except Fei Yu.

She seemed a bit worried as she headed towards the sulking statue.

"Hey, Feng Tian sister, are you ok? You seem to be a bit..sad?" She spoke hesitantly as if she wasn't sure what to describe the seemingly emotionless yet gloomy girl.

Huh?

She snapped out of her gloomy trance. She seemed a bit clueless as she turned to slowly face the concerned girl.

"I'm fine." She spoke coldly, like usual. Although a trace of gloom could be detected within the depths of her amethyst eyes.

"A-Alright. Well..if you need any help in the upcoming competitions. Don't hesitate to ask." Fei Yu spoke warmly, her voice genuine.

Ye FengTian simply nodded as she walked out together with Fei Yu. They seemed a bit closer.

Suddenly, Ye FengTian proposed to head off on her own. She didn't say precisely where she was heading she simply informed Fei Yu and well, walked off.

Fei Yu was a bit shock but shrugged it off and kept walking back to their lodging. However, as she walked she encountered a rather, large shadow.

—————————————————————

As Ye FengTian saw that Fei Yu had completely left her field of vision. She sighed a breath of relief. Soon she vanished from her spot and appeared in front of a tall building.

Truly, her speed was in human.

The building was secluded and quiet. The peaceful environment alluring her to step foot inside and start crash coasting on musical and 'artistic' knowledge. She decided that passing the exams would benefit her greatly. And she was genuinely interested in this new world. She wanted to start again. She didn't want to go back to the past. She refused to be bound by the military. And it seemed that being reincarnated into ancient China as a girl, was the perfect chance to do so.

She stepped inside. Lately she had thought greatly about her next few steps. And she knew she had to quickly leave the imperial palace and she most certainly had to leave the Ye Family. Perhaps she could learn about the neighbouring countries and geographical information on this new world.

Suddenly, as she zoomed out of her deep thoughts, she noticed a presence within the library, it was familiar.

She couldn't help but stare coldly at the amused smile on that youthful face. He laughed and closed the book in his ŀȧp.

"Don't give me that stare, this library isn't just for you participants."

Author's note: sorry that this chapter was late and short. I haven't been motivated to write but I'm trying. Anyways, some of you may have noticed but I published two chapters for my other book. Yes, I'm going to shamelessly promote it here and I know I'm being shameless but honestly I'm getting really tired of this story in general. I don't really like it, and it's not the genre I like writing. So I'm trying something else. However, I'm not dropping this book, I just want to try something else for the time being. Hope you guys understand!
