chapter

On this day, we gathered for the yearly assessment of the inner and outer disciples. For those who have not heard my name. I am Ming Ye, the dean of the academy and sect. This year's tasks differ greatly from the previous. For the first time in the sect's history, shall we assess all disciples in groups?

In the mystic bergs, you shall dwell for a year in a group, everyone will have a flag. These flags can be stolen, and when they are. You must enter the group that has stolen your flag. The starter group must be a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 20. The elder makes sure you do not cheat with explain it in detail. Later on, we shall play this game with the sects to see who the winner of the game is, not only would hold a small competition. On the last, we might hold a banquet together.

Just a reminder anyone with the intention to kill, severely injure, ruin their cultivation path, rob or anything that could hurt a fellow disciple or student will be expelled from the sect and punished accordingly.

Good luck

the dean had given his speech the crowd applauded, The crowd dispersed and started to form groups and register. It was simple we established a group with whom we came.

At the table, there was an elder who registered us.

Ah, Qing tu, you've grown. The elder said. Since we had just entered, the Academy gave us forms to fill out.

Master, may I take the form of a bracelet to help you read the forms.

Cherry blossom hovered her bracelet over the papers as she filled out the forms.

Cherry blossom should I help you fill out the forms? Qing tu asked as he looked over at the papers.

Why don't we fill them out together, since we are all having difficulties

Orchid suggested the sisters agreed with the nick of their heads.

Difficulties, father did say you six are the dumbest, Mara rolled her eyes.

Welcome to the group, cherry blossom said faintly, and the siblings giggled.

Why are you laughing, Mara said.

I see our presence is not needed, I am going to have my last meal, the others members of the group said.

Rose darling is there something I should get for you, dumplings, Moon cakes, Tang yuan, Tanghulu, Red bean buns you decide crown prince Cai said.

Oh, can you stay away, Rose said

Oh, your highness Rose is shy. I want Moon cakes, dragon's beard candy, tarts, egg tarts, pumpkin pancakes, and cakes. Peony what else do we want? Orchid asked.

Something to drink, maybe water

Peaches, pears and chicken wings. To be precise, I want a chicken wing that has been grilled on the fire for 25 minutes and 21 seconds. Poppy said brightly, grinning from one ear to another.

Roasted nuts, please

come to think of it, rose started

yes, the prince said energetically this girl I have gifted her jewellery, houses, property and almost my right to the throne, but that didn't even scratch the ice, but now it is working.

Come to think of it, cherry blossom hasn't ordered something.

No, thank you cherry blossom said

even an ant's cry is louder, the prince said

no, thank you

I am wasting my time, the prince said

He left.

On the campus of the academy, there are many shops and stalls. The people who worked in these stalls weren't just someone, he/she must have a clean record and pure intentions for the sect. He/she must be a Bridgeway disciple.

When they were halfway through, one of the questions was to tell the elder about their childhood and background.

Elder, can we skip this Question? Qing tu asked.

This sect procedure so I am afraid not, the elder said

If you are uncomfortable telling him, tell me Elder fang said who happened to pass by.

Thank you peony said

Well, the truth is we lived a peaceful childhood, but we didn't see father much orchid said as she plastered a smile on her face.

Is it true?

I remember Qing tu saying that at home many things happen to his sisters. As his knees trembled, he looked into my eyes just hoping that I would help. Tears flowed down his reddened cheeks pleading with his stick-like arms elder fang said.

No need to be afraid

It is hard to explain, but I think it was the same for all of us. Official Qing never cared about me as a person, but about how much I was worth. Until I was 12, I had never met him. My mum abandoned me on the streets and every I passed the Qing mansion I envied you. I thought he loved you the most, so i … mara broke out in tears.

Similar things happened to us all, some of us took punches just to make money, but it was never enough

I was in despair, Orchid had a fever, and she was the smart one. I was only seven. Furthermore, I asked people for change when I remembered, I was strong. Likewise, I sat on the floor and said 50 silver per hit,50 silver per hit. Those interested came, they beat me up and paid 15 gold coins. I secretly invited a doctor to help Orchid and bought winter clothes for my sisters for the coming winter.

I think the funny thing is we all tried to make money to help the rest, Lily said. They finished filling out the forms and were heading off.

Cherry blossom, I fear that the middle group tasks might be too much. You.....

Cherry blossom went back to where they stood and whispered thank you for your concern, but I think I'll do just right.
