Then, they noticed the two young masters of the Ningwu and Bai clans walking behind him, the former barely managing to maintain his genial smile on his face while the edges of the latter's mouth was twitching. 

With all these famour figures walking towards them in a group, everyone could only make a path for them. Shen Tianyu and Bai Yaoxuan safely made it to the front of the crowd along with the well-known young men.

"Well, if it isn't the parasite..." Once they made it to the front, the twp women that were being protected from the front were now in full view. A certain lady recognized them and commented from behind.

Shen Tianyu turned around with a sneer, recognizing the voice already. "Well if it isn't Miss Yang, the embarassment of the Right-winged General's Manor with no manners." Before she even fully faced the other, that phrase had already left her mouth. Bai Yaoxuan, on the other hand, just glanced behind her before returning her gaze back to the door. Ningwu Liushan and Bai Longtian also looked back to see who it was, the former looked between the newcomer and his Junior Sister before deciding to leave it to her while the latter's lips dipped into a visible frown. Rong Jian slowly turned his head back with dark intent barely hidden in his eyes. Hearing his wifey address the other, recognition dawned on him but it quickly passed. He scooted over to stand behind his wife protectively, while Bai Longtian took his place at the front, wanting to distance himself. 

Their staring contest ended when the other lady noticed Zhu Wangye standing behind Shen Tianyu and glowering at her, as if his glare could make her dissappear. "Zhu Wangye." She curtsied with a slight blush on her cheeks, as if she hadn't just insulted the fiancee he had chosen. Rong Jian didn't reply, choosing instead to hug Shen Tianyu from behind, placing his chin on top of her head. The latter leaned back into the embrace a little, her arms folded and a challenge in her eyes. 

Noticing that the subject of her greeting hadn't so much as acknowledged her, Miss Yang stiffened and lifted herself back up of her own accord. 

"When did I say rise?" A chilling voice echoed from right in front of her. Though she already knew, Miss Yang still looked up out of instinct to find the voice had emitted from the young lad hugging the woman whom she deemed as a "parasite". Seeing the hostility in his eyes, she quickly lowered her head and went back to her curtsied position. Shen Tianyu just watched on as if this whole situation had nothing to do with her at all. 

She rewarded her fiancee with a pat on his cheeks on top of her head from her forward-facing position and reaching her hand back. She could feel his lips pull slightly upward as he held her hand and placed a light kiss on her palm. 

"You two dogs, the door is about to open. Hurry up and get in line." Bai Yaoxuan clicked her tongue from behind the couple. 

"Miss Yang is really ill mannered, we still haven't told you to rise yet and you still got up of your own accord. It really makes one wonder what this says of the Right-winged General's view of the royal family." Shen Tianyu said from her place, her voice carrying over the expanse of the crowd. Unlike before, it wasn't loud enough to shock everyone but her every word could be heard clearly by everyone.

"You! You're using Zhu Wangye's position to bully people! Don't be so arrogant, you aren't even officially engaged yet, much less wedded, you don't count as part of the royal family!" Miss Yang burst out, now that Rong Jian was no longer glowring down at her. 

"I'm not, but Ah-Jian is. It was ah-Jian who first told you to keep curtsying. Everyone heard it, you can't put the blame on me. I'm just carrying out Wangye's wishes." Shen Tianyu shot back with an innocent look on her face. Rong Jian who was bearing the black pot[1] for her was acting as if he didn't hear anything. 

Unfortunately, as Miss Yang opened her mouth to argue back, the doors to the Practice Building opened, with another student announcing for everyone to get into the stadium in an orderly fashion. Shen Tianyu and them waltzed in at the front of the crowd, managing to grab some seats close to the pit that is used as a stage. 

"I wonder what they will demonstrate..." Bai Yaoxuan's expectations had lowered dramatically due to the Beast-taming department's circus exhibition. 

"Probably a sword fight or something? It's not like they'll teach you some forms. There's really not a lot you can do to show off since these techniques were developed solely for combat purposes and not to show-off." The girls sat together again. Ningwu Liushan and Bai Longtian sat next to Bai Yaoxuan while Rong Jian took his place on the other side of Shen Tianyu. 

"Hm... If they do a good job of it, it might be interesting, like watching a match." Bai Yaoxuan leaned her head on Shen Tianyu's shoulder as if tired.

"I wonder what the Poison Stage will be doing for their exhibition? If it's this boring, then there's no need to watch. Ther's a market on the main road anyways, we can just see if we want to buy somethings there instead." Shen Tianyu moved to make it more comfortable for the other to lay on her shoulders.

"Didn't you want to see?" Bai Yaoxuan asked from the skewed position her head was in.

"Yes, but when you think about it, they can't really do much to showcase their talents since it'd be too dangerous to feed their concoctions to anyone or any demonic beast." Shen Tianyu sighed in disappointment.
