As only a combat technique instructor, Mu Hongzhu didn't supervise Class A and thus didn't accompany the disciples to Jingshi.
Qin Bing brought lots of elite disciples and some instructors to the national examination, but Lingyun Academy still operated as usual.
Most of the students were not elites, and they were left in Lingyun Academy and continued with their cultivation, which seemed endless.
Lingyun Academy didn't pause its operation just because its elite disciples left; it continued to work evenly like a precise machine.
As usual, Mu Hongzhu taught the disciples combat techniques. After class, she sat on the short wall outside of the training field and thought of the things that still confused her.
She had thought that the things explicitly forbidden by the academy would never be good stuff. After all, the academy did it with the disciples' futures in mind even though the punishment was a bit too severe.
