On the second day, Leng Qianjue sent Xia Yi a message.

"Little Xia Yi, this is the list of academies where you can accept girls."

Xia Yi took the paper that Leng Qianjue had brought, and spread it out. She discovered that it was a very big piece of paper, and other than the name of the Academy, there was also a dense amount of information about the Academy written on it. It included the number of students in the academy, their geographical location, the area they occupied, and so on.

In short, it was as detailed as it could be.

"Yueyang Academy, thirty-six teachers, five hundred and twelve students. Every year, there will be an entrance exam at the end of the third month and the beginning of the ninth month. The annual tuition fee is twelve silver taels …"

Xia Yi read it line by line. When she saw the twelve silver taels, she was completely shocked.

One had to know that twelve silver would probably be enough to feed a poor family for three years.

"Is the tuition fee so expensive?" Xia Yi could not help but ask.

Leng Qianjue didn't really care about ten taels of silver. After all, he was someone who could casually buy a whole courtyard of profound energy. He only said: "I'm not too sure either, take a look at the other schools."

This was all written down by Wu Ling on a piece of paper. He did not even look at it, and directly brought it over for Xia Yi.

Xia Yi continued to read, "Juxue Academy, position... "Entering Xian Street …"

Xia Yi had also been to the capital before, so she was not very familiar with the streets of the capital.

It was the first time that Xia Yi had heard of someone opening the Institute to cause trouble in the market.

"Twenty-five teachers and three hundred and forty-eight students. Fees are five taels of silver and are limited to students beyond the seventh rank …"

Xia Yi frowned, the Juxue Academy fees were a lot cheaper, but with such a strong demand, Xia Yi had no other choice.

Thinking of a way to solve the problem of tuition, but lastly, Xia Yi couldn't solve it no matter what.

Looking further down, he said, "Boyong College, twenty students, 123 students, tuition fees, 6 taels of silver, admission of officials of at least the third rank or disciples from outside the clan …"

After looking through all the academies, Xia Yi's heart sank.

"Uncle Leng, other than these few academies, are there any other academies that accept women?"

Leng Qianjue's words struck a blow on all of Xia Yi's hopes, "There won't be a second time, this is something I specially asked for, it's already the most comprehensive."

What Leng Qianjue had said was true, Wu Ling was in charge of the entire Searching Pavilion, so naturally, she would not miss anything that she got from her. Even if there were only ten or so people in the small school, it would still be recorded within the Searching Pavilion.

Search Pavilion was an underground intelligence agency that Xiao Linmu established himself. From officials to thugs, everyone could find information about them in Search Pavilion, and this information could be said to be complete.

"So that means, I can only choose Yueyang Academy?" Xia Yi's eyes stopped at the number "12".

Based on the profitability of the Ruyi Manor and its owner, twelve silver taels a year for Xia Yue to attend school was not something she couldn't afford. It's just that Xia Yang would be enrolled into the school in another two years …

If it was and Xia Yue, it would indeed be difficult for them, and maybe their quality of life would also decline because of this.

Of course, money was not what Xia Yi was most worried about. Xia Yi was even more worried that Xia Yue would be bullied inside the Academy because of this.

After all, twelve silver taels a year in the academy could be called a aristocratic academy. Naturally, they had to compete against each other. If this happened, the poorest child in the academy would definitely be looked down upon by other children …

However, only the Yueyang Academy was willing to accept women …

Just as Xia Yi was in the midst of a conflict, she suddenly heard Xia Yue's voice. "Elder sister, I don't want to study in the capital."

Just now, Xia Yue had been hiding behind the door and secretly listening in on Xia Yi and Leng Qianjue.

She was already over six years old, so she naturally knew what twelve silver taels meant.

Crouching down, Xia Yi looked straight into his eyes, but found that Xia Yue's eyes were averted, staring at the ground diagonally.

Xia Yi said gently, "Yue Yue, look at big sister's eyes and tell me, do you really not want to? Or do you feel sorry for the tuition fee? "

Xia Yue met Xia Yi's gaze, and quickly hung her head, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Elder sister, I want to … I want Brother Mu Lin to teach me … "

Xia Yi sighed and said, "I admit, Mu Lin is knowledgeable, but learning is a long process. It might take ten, twenty years, or even longer... Brother Mu Lin can stay by your side for one or two months, but he can't stay by your side forever. He should be able to live his own life and get married and have kids, don't you think? "

With every word that Xia Yi said, Xia Yue's head drooped a little, and in the end, her entire head was buried in her chest.

"Yue Yue, you should know that Brother Mu Lin is just a Brother Mu Lin …" Xia Yi added.

Xia Yue suddenly raised her head to look at Xia Yi, and her eyes turned red.

Although Xia Yi felt heartache, she had no choice but to clarify so that Xia Yue could understand the relationship between them in advance.

The longer time dragged on, the more Xia Yue would rely on Xiao Linmu. If it really came to that time, when Xiao Linmu suddenly disappeared again, the damage he would receive would definitely be even greater than what happened now.

It could only resolve the situation quickly, taking advantage of the fact that Xia Yue had a deep reliance on him to remove this possibility.

"Elder sister, I understand." Xia Yue stared at Xia Yi for a long time before nodding her head heavily.

As he lowered his head, a tear fell from his eye.

Xia Yue secretly reached out her hands to wipe her tears, then raised her head again.

This small movement of hers naturally did not escape Xia Yi's eyes.

Xia Yi reached out and rubbed Xia Yue's hair, not saying much, but only saying, "For the next few days, read well, so that you can prepare yourself for the entrance exams at the end of March."

In this short period of time, Xia Yi had already thought it through thoroughly.

He still had to get Xia Yue to go to the Academy.

After changing the environment and diverting Xia Yue's attention, maybe Xia Yue would become less reliant on him, and even if Xiao Linmu did not appear again in the end, the damage towards him would decrease a little.

In addition, the age at which he could begin to learn was only a few years. After a few years, it would be much harder for him to go back to studying.

"Are they preparing to send Yue Yue to the Yueyang Academy?" Leng Qianjue asked.

On this paper, only Yueyang Academy had an entrance exam at the end of March.

Xia Yi nodded her head, "I actually want Yue Yue to go to the other two academies, but that doesn't meet my requirements to enter."

Leng Qianjue opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he said, "If you lack money, let me know.

Xia Yi laughed, "Then when the time comes, I won't be polite."

After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to rub Xia Yue's head and said: "Yue Yue, do you see that? Don't worry about the money.

The reason why she said that was because she was afraid that Xia Yue would feel a psychological burden.
