I'm Just a Little Cabbage

"Weiyang, we don't know anything about Spirit Hall Academy. You need to be careful."

Even though she had a lot she wanted to say, Dugu Yan ultimately condensed it all into this one sentence.

She had not been selected as an exchange student, and there had never been such a precedent before. Though neither academy would deliberately make things difficult for the exchange students, they were outsiders after all. The students' competitiveness and xenophobia would be strong.

Dugu Yan was worried that Ning Weiyang would be bullied at Spirit Hall Academy.

If she had known Ning Weiyang would be chosen, she would have volunteered herself. At least then Ning Weiyang would have had someone with her.

Ye Lingling was just as worried about Ning Weiyang. She took Ning Weiyang's hand, her brows knitting slightly, but she said nothing.

Noticing how worried they were about her, Ning Weiyang could not help but comfort them. "Sisters, I'll be fine. I'm just a little cabbage. The people at Spirit Hall Academy probably won't make things difficult for me."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a look, their expressions complicated.

What did she mean, being a little cabbage meant others would not make things difficult for her?

It was precisely because she was a little cabbage that they would bully her!

"Weiyang, when we get a break in a few days, I'll go to my grandfather and find something for you to defend yourself with. If anyone bullies you, fight back. Don't be afraid. The academy will send teachers with you, so if you suffer any grievance, just tell them."

Dugu Yan instructed her.

Though she did not know what the Crown Prince was thinking, since this matter concerned him and he had given the order, he would most likely protect Ning Weiyang.

Even for the Crown Prince's sake, the teachers accompanying the exchange students would pay extra attention to Ning Weiyang.

That would make Ning Weiyang much safer.

"Mhm, mhm. Thank you, Sister Yanzi."

Ning Weiyang obediently replied.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had made the atmosphere somewhat serious.

It was as though she were heading somewhere filled with wolves and tigers.

Compared to Spirit Hall Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Palace was clearly more like a den of tigers and wolves!

"..."

After that, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling chatted with Ning Weiyang for a while longer.

They also realized they had been overly anxious, so they changed the subject and relaxed.

As for Ning Weiyang becoming an exchange student, whenever they thought of it during class, they could not help but worry.

Ning Weiyang did not need to attend class that afternoon. She stayed alone in her dorm room, meditating and cultivating.

After entering the Peony Flower Sea twice, Ning Weiyang quickly discovered its secret.

It was a Mimetic Environment. Cultivating inside it could greatly increase one's cultivation speed.

Thus, for many days afterward, whenever she did not have class, Ning Weiyang spent almost all her time in her dorm room, entering the Peony Flower Sea to cultivate.

She claimed she did not care much about becoming an exchange student, but in truth, she still felt that any improvement was worthwhile. She did not want to go there only to become some little monster for others to grind.

Half a month later.

Ning Weiyang received notice that she was to depart for Spirit Hall Academy.

Spirit Hall Academy had issued the enrollment notice, and Meng Shenji personally delivered it to Ning Weiyang.

Outside Room 1010 of the girls' dormitory.

Looking at Ning Weiyang, who seemed to be in fairly good spirits, Meng Shenji reminded her, "Little Weiyang, once you arrive at Spirit Hall Academy, remember to watch your words and actions. It isn't like our academy there. We won't be by your side, so if anything happens, remember to tell the teacher accompanying you."

"The accompanying teacher is a friend of mine. I've already told him about your situation. You don't need to be afraid, nor do you need to feel embarrassed. Just order him around as you please."

As he spoke, Meng Shenji took a solid wooden treasure box from his pocket and held it out to Ning Weiyang. "This is a gift from Zhi Lin, Bai Baoshan, and me. There's a weapon inside that you can use to protect yourself, as well as some medicinal powder for treating injuries and numbing..."
