Rong Jian stayed a distance away as he watched, a complicated expression flickered across his eyes before they regained their usual eerie calmness.

With Shen Tianyu's help, Bai Yaoxuan regained her breathing and nodded to indicate she was fine now. 

"Sorry to you both, Miss Bai was right behind me yet I was unable to protect her properly." Ningwu Liushan apologized to the two girls.

Shen Tianyu shook her head. "It's fine, there's no need to apologize. It's not like I'm not aware of Ah-Jian's cultivation level. It should be my fault for not making sure she was safe."

"If you're going to say that... it should be my fault for being weak." Bai Yaoxuan pouted. 

Shen Tianyu lightly flicked her forehead. "You know that's not it. And with your condition right now, I wouldn't let you practice anyways. Besides, just because your cultivation level is low doesn't mean you are weak." With the weakened condition of Bai Yaoxuan's meridians and dantian due to the poison, Shen Tianyu had not let the other cultivate despite her eagerness. If she was to practice right now with these damages, her core would become unstable and she wouldn't be able to draw out her full potential so she had urged the other to wait. 

In this world, there was indeed a good number of cutivators. However, the most sought after were the Doctors, then the Pill Masters, after which were the physicians. Array Masters and Talisman Scribes were also highly favored, especially by cultivators. Because those skills they practiced, in exchange for their progress in cultivation, was much more useful and valuable. It was just that being one of those required not only talent but also patience and willingness to partially give up on cultivation. Sinc emost of their time would be spent memorizing texts or the like rather than sword training and meditation. And people, in whatever world, are always mistaken about strength. Physical prowess is not the only indication of fortitude. Mental strength, and sometimes even kindness if it is placed right, can be an indication of strength, it's just that those are harder to measure. Power in the hands of the selfish is tyranny, and will leave one all alone being surrounded by enemies on all sides. Power in the hands of one who is willing to give and protect is leadership at it's finest, and though there will always be bad apples, will leave that person surrounded by warmth. 

"Anyways, I'll leave Yaoyao for you to take care of, Senior Brother. I'll go check on the stall owners." Shen Tianyu patted both their backs and got up, a smile on her face. Bai Yaoxuan gave her suspicious side-eye but she ignored it as she waked towards Song Yanqi, who was still trying to calm down the male student. 

"Are you guys okay? She left." Shen Tianyu alerted them to her approach so as not to startle them. Song Yanqi looked up at the nearing voice and lowered her head.

"Thank you for what you did, Miss. I'm afraid you might get in trouble with the Yang Manor now, though. I apologize for that." 

Shen Tianyu waved away her apology. "Your thanks I will accept but not your apology. I only did what I wanted, there's no need for you to apologize for that. Besides, the General Yang's Manor wouldn't be able to do much harm even if they dared to make a move anyways." Shen Tianyu looked behind her, finding Rogn Jian and meeting with his gaze. She tilted her head to urge him over. Rong Jian moved from his position and walked over to stand behind her again. She then turned back to the two students. "Anyways, is your companion okay? It's not good to hold your anger in too much. If you feel upset, you can smash some things, like the ground, something the School will fix themselves."

"Yes, he's fine. Ah, I should intriduce you two." Song Yanqi deemed it was safe to introduce her companion to them and pulled the male student forward a little. "This is my younger brother, Song Chengyin." She hurriedly pulled his head down and gave them both a proper bow. 

"There's no need for such formalities Miss Song." Shen Tianyu held them both up by their elbows and briefly introduced herself. "My name is Shen Tianyu." She then indicated at Rong Jian with her hand. "And the man standing slightly behind me is Rong Jian, otherwise known as Zhu Wangye."

Understanding dawned on Song Yanqi's face as she quickly gave a curtsy that was interrupted by Shen Tianyu again. 

"So you're that woman everyone's been talking about." Now that his mouth was no longer blocked, Song Chengyin freely spoke his mind. Song Yanqi was afraid his sharp tone might have displeased their benefactors and pulled on his sleeve to tell him to say sorry but Shen Tianyu just let out an amused chuckle.

"Oh? Am I that well-known now?" She didn't think even non-nobles would gossip about her. She figured most of the conversation would be confined to the big families while the common people would only hear trickles ans snippets.

"Everyone's talking about Zhu Wangye's mysterious woman, the only one he's allowed to stay at his Wangfu and not only did she stay overnight, she has been living there for a month now. Not only does she have no noticeable background since she's not from around here, she seems to be associated with some brothel house to boot." Song Chengyin didn't seem to notice his older sister's signal at all as he spilled some of the details he was able to pick up.

"So much detail was spilt? The nobles sure don't know when to keep their mouths closed." Shen Tianyu mused without any ill intent.

"I'm so sorry about my little brother, Zhu Wangfei." Song Yanqi apologized for her brother's rudeness in a fluster.

"There's no need to apologize. I rather like his sharp and direct personality. And there's no need for you to be so formal to me, in fact Ah-Jian and I haven't even married yet. Just call me Tianyu like my friends do. I'm hoping to learn the ways of the Chengyuan School from you once classes start, Miss Song." Shen Tianyu gave a lighthearted laugh.
