Meng Shenji rambled on for quite a while. Ning Weiyang simply listened quietly, nodding and responding from time to time.
Only after Meng Shenji had finished did she take the box and put it into her Storage Spirit Tool.
"Thank you, Uncle Meng."
Ning Weiyang thanked him.
Meng Shenji nodded and said nothing else.
Ning Weiyang would be leaving for Spirit Hall Academy tomorrow. He felt it was best to leave the rest of today to her, Dugu Yan, and the others.
After watching Meng Shenji leave, Ning Weiyang returned to the dormitory and began packing her luggage.
During her brief half-month at Spirit Hall Academy, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had bought Ning Weiyang quite a lot of things. One suitcase was no longer enough; she needed two large ones.
Looking at the clothes she had sorted out, Ning Weiyang's eyelids twitched.
They had practically piled up into a mountain.
There were many styles and types of summer clothes. Every time Dugu Yan went out these past few days, she would come back with another batch of clothes for her, leaving Ning Weiyang no chance to refuse.
Looking at this "mountain," Ning Weiyang sighed softly. She could only slowly pack up all these clothes.
"Weiyang, we're back!"
A little while later, Dugu Yan's voice rang out.
The moment class ended, she and Ye Lingling headed straight back to the dormitory, having heard that the exchange student would be leaving for Spirit Hall Academy tomorrow.
Though they had known all along that Ning Weiyang would be going, now that the day had truly arrived, the two of them still felt reluctant to part with her.
That was why they had come back immediately after class. Dugu Yan planned to take Ning Weiyang out for a stroll around Heaven Dou City and buy her anything she wanted while they were there.
Ning Weiyang had just finished packing her clothes. Hearing Dugu Yan's voice, she looked up. "Sister Yanzi, Sister Lingling."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling entered the dormitory one after the other, smiles on their faces, completely unlike the way they treated outsiders.
But they had always been this way with Ning Weiyang.
Ning Weiyang was the little sister of the dormitory. Of course they had to cherish her.
"All packed up?"
Dugu Yan's gaze swept over the two large suitcases. Smiling, she walked over to Ning Weiyang and linked arms with her.
"Little Weiyang, you've never gone around Heaven Dou City before, have you?"
Ning Weiyang thought about it, then nodded.
She really had not.
She had been born without a mother, while her father might as well have been nonexistent.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was near Heaven Dou City, she had never once left the sect.
For six years, day after day, year after year, she had done the same things.
"Then let's go out and have a look around today!"
Dugu Yan said with a smile.
Ning Weiyang blinked. "But don't we need leave permission to go out through the school gates?"
Boarding students at Heaven Dou Royal Academy were not allowed to enter or leave the campus freely, which made the academy easier to manage.
Dugu Yan pulled three leave slips from her pocket and chuckled smugly. "I prepared them ages ago!"
She pulled Ning Weiyang into her arms and said brightly, "Little Weiyang, big sister will treat you to a feast today. Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you. Don't be polite, okay~?"
Ning Weiyang was flattered. She snuggled against Dugu Yan as well, wrapping her arms around her waist. "Thank you, Sister Yanzi!"
And so, the three of them left the academy and headed to the streets of Heaven Dou City.
The streets were bustling and prosperous.
Pedestrians hurried back and forth, chatting and laughing.
The dazzling array of shops along the street left Ning Weiyang almost overwhelmed.
One moment, she stopped in front of one shop to look at porcelain; the next, she stopped at another to look at little trinkets. Filled with curiosity, she looked just like an inquisitive child.
"Do you like it? If you do, we'll buy it."
Dugu Yan said generously.
Ning Weiyang truly liked people who were willing to spend money on her, but she knew Dugu Yan's circumstances. She was still reluctant to let Dugu Yan spend money on her.
"No, Sister Yanzi. I already have too much stuff to take with me. Even if I take it along, I might not use it. Just looking is enough!"
With that, Ning Weiyang headed to another shop.
She did not stay long at any shop, afraid that Dugu Yan would simply buy everything outright.
Save where you should save, spend where you should spend.
There was no need to feel sorry for spending a man's money, but a woman's money had to be treasured!
"Hm? My precious Yanyan!"
