Since Chengyuan School will be the learning institution they will be staying with for who knows how long, it wuld be unbeneficial for social relations if they lied about something like this rigt off the bat, especially when it wasn't the fault of any of them.
"Of course we won't hold it against you, Headmaster." Bai Yaoxuan straightened up with a smile.
"Actually, Headmaster, our motive for this visit today was to ask for you to let Yaoyao take the late admissions test." Shen Tianyu got straight to the point.
"Oh? I can allow this, of course, but might I know why? I'll let you know, she won't be allowed to take the late admissions test if she has participated in any of the prior tests, even if she has failed." The Headmaster warned.
"No, she didn't participate in any of the prior tests. If Headmaster doesn't trust us, you can ask people to check the sign up rolls." There was a test before the regular exam that Shen Tianyu participated in, the Early Admissions. Though the students that passed were accepted, they only secured their spots and actually had the same Opening Day as the regular students. And the third and last chance to get in was the Late Admissions.
Shen Tianyu softly grabbed Bai Yaoxuan's hand and walked up to the Headmaster. "Though with that said, I hope the Headmaster will give special consideration for her. As she has a special reason she hasn't participated in the tests despite her family residing in the capital." She raised Bai Yaoxuan's hand and put it on the surface of the desk. Bai Yaoxuan silently let her older sister do as she wished.
Acknowledging the sinal, the Headmaster reached out his hands to take her pulse, sending a sliver of spiritual energy into Bai Yaoxuan's body to check further. His eyes widened in surprise at what he found and pity glossed over his eyes as he looked at the young girl again.
"There is no need for Wangfei to pull that card against this old man. Though it was a quick checkup, this old man sees that this Young Miss has a promising dantian, though damaged. With the right treatment and medicine, she will most definitely go far. The only problem is, if this damage isn't repaired soon, it could impede her future cultivation. Also, if she wishes ti attend this school, it might take a while for her to leave as the treatment itself will take a while..." The Headmaster was conflicted about accepting this new student. Though her dantian was indeed good, despite the damage it went through, the treatment to completely cure it would definitely be costly and time-consuming. He might pity this poor lady but as the Headmaster, he can't show deferrence to any pne student, no matter their circumstance. This school was founded on such an idea of equality, after all.
"There's no need for Headmaster to worry, I've arranged for her treatment already. It's just, the person that will cure her is far away right now and it will take about a month for him to arrive. After that, she'll be able to cultivate like normal. I just asked that she be allowed to take the Late Admisisons exam so she has a place in the School. If there's any problem that is caused by her recovery or insufficient cultivation, I'll handle it for her." Shen Tianyu earnestly told the Headmaster, a hand over her heart as if in oath.
"As the Headmaster, I can not allow preferential treatment of any one student. Direct disciples of the teachers and me have special responsibilities in addition to their special status. What benefit will this provide my Chengyuan School? Though I do pity the Young Lady Bai, being without a cultivation base means she will need special accomodations during the exam." The Headmaster put his hands together in front of him.
"I am not asking for preferential treatment. You don't have to care for her or anything after this, I just ask she be goven the chance to take the Late Admisisons Exam. This will also send a signal to future applicants that the Chengyuan School is willing to accomodate those with special circumstances that also includes low income. Treating people differently doesn't necessarily mean there will be inequality. In the first place, those disadvantaged will obviously be less talented and have less achivements precisely because they don't have the opportunities and connections that the more wealthy have. That's a disparity caused by their en vironment that they can't change. And you should know, that rumors have always been circulating that the Chengyuan School's said decree of accepting students from low income families is only lip service to make the School look good. If you are willing to accomodate to this extent, then it'll surely dispell at least some of those disatisfied voices. As for the parts of the exam that needs cultivation, I'll participate in those tests for her and she can take the written exams. If you feel that might be unfair to the other students, I'm fine with you making my parts more difficult." Shen Tianyu debated, occassionally waving her hands to emphasis her points.
