"Is that so? I'll leave this here then. It's a thank you gift for her." Shen Tianyu took out an amber colored gem-looking thing from her Cosmo Pouch and placed it on the table.
"A South Star core? Well, as expected of Mistress Shen. As expected." Tian Yu remarked as he nodded his head.
"I'll be sure to pass this on to my disciple once she comes back." He assured her when he felt her stare at him. He picked up the stone and put it inside a drawer in the desk of the room.
South Star was a unique herb that's found only in places exceedingly rich in spiritual energy and minerals. The whole plant, including it's roots can be used in both medicine and poison creation. However, it's roots are not what gives it life. IF one tried to plant an uprooted South Star herb elsewhere with only it's roots, it won't grow and will instead wilt even if the environment was similar in requirements. The roots of the South Star herb encase it's core, which takes in spiritual energy from it's surroundings and fuels the growth of the herb. It was first discovered in an unnamed no-man's land somewhere south of a continent, which is where it got it's name. The amount of places it can be found in the entire world currently does not exceed the fingers of one hand.
The roots are a dark brown, the color of dirt and the older the plant is, the more roots there are encasing the core. Also, the older it is, the darker the core becomes. The leaves are an unusual purple-green in the shape of elongated spheres with razor edges. And finally, the single flower that they all have, is a five-pointed light yellow bud.
Finding that she can leave the passing of the object to Tian Yu, she left after giving him a warning not to covet her and her subordinate's things.
"Okay. I'm done with my errands. Have you thought of anywhere to go?" Shen Tianyu greeted Rong Jian when she saw him standing quietly at the gates.
"I'm fine with wherever you want to go. But, you're not going to visit father- and mother-in-law?"
"Mn. Nah. They must have had it hard yesterday, let's let them rest a bit." Shen Tianyu wrinkled her nose in thought.
Rong Jian nodded as they returned to the Wangfu, where they could hear Bai Yaoxuan training and went about their own way for the rest of day until dinnertime.
...
Unfortunately, the day after that was not a holiday so they had to get up and go to Chengyuan School as normal. As the three residents of Zhu Wangfu got dropped off, Shen Tianyu told her husband to go ahead as she would like to walk Bai Yaoxuan to her classroom for once. He either didn't find anything wrong or didn't want to intrude and agreed without any objection.
"Why? Is it not comfortable at the Wangu? The servants aren't bothering you are they?" Shen Tianyu immediately asked.
"No. Nothing like that. It's just... I don't want even more rumors to go around. You two have just married yet there's a third wheel around, it's not appropriate. Besides, I've been staying there for so long, it's about time I start to strike out on my own, you know? I don't want to rely or intrude on you guys too much. You are newly weds after all."
"Mn... If that's what you really think then I have no reason to stop you. But where are you thinking of moving to? You still need to go to classes."
"Maybe some quiet building or courtyard in the capital."
"Hmn... that's... no one would notice if you got robbed or murdered if it's too quiet, you know? Have you thought about staying at a hotel or inn for the duration of your time here? Or maybe just move into one until you've gathered enough money to buy your own place. The capital isn't exactly the best place to stay in the long-term if you want a peaceful life. Besides, I've been thinking of having you join us so buying place here would kind of be a waste of money since we have our own dorms. If you want to join that is. It's reassuring to have someone that I can talk to everything about, including... you know." Shen Tianyu waved her hands in a vague way but they both knew what it meant. Only the two of them remembered their past lives and they even knew each other then. What could be more convenient?
"I'm not opposed to joining, I just..." Bai Yaoxuan trailed off because she couldn't find the words. She really didn't want to become dependent on a friend too much. Even in the last life, though she was pretty naïve and carefree, she never pulled out Shen Tianyu as a card during negotiations or interviews. Sure, it was wide-known knowledge a bit down the road but she had never used it as leverage for anything other than messing around or to visit her. But at the same time, she knew supports were important into his world, connections were more important than anything else in the world, perhaps even money. Take her situation with this body's parents for example, if she didn't have any support, not only would she not be able to escape their influence, people would disdain her for being unfilial even if it was perfectly reasonable for her to defy them.
"Don't worry, I won't pull any strings. It's precisely because of possible situations like these that I set up the initiation in a special way. No one knows who recommended who until they pass the initiation period, either having failed or passed. The tests are designed in a way to eliminate biases as much as possible and the instructors are barred from favoritism. Those found to show favoritism, no matter to who, are severely punished. And I think you will probably be able to get in even if your cultivation isn't high. Cultivation isn't everything after all and the organization has too many muscleheads so we're trying to expand into other fields, such as Medicine, Talismans, and Arrays." Shen Tianyu enthusiastically explained.
