"By the way, what have you been doing these days?" Shen Tianyu asked after she swallowed her first bite of food. He followed her around like a dog before, but he's almost locked himself up in his study since he came back. If there was urgent business, he could have rushed their journey or came back first by himself.

"There's some business I need to take care of before school starts again." Rong Jian answered her.

"Oh? You go to the Chengyuan School?" Shen Tianyu asked without much surprise. The Chengyuan school was the cultivation school of Rikui Kingdom and the most renowned one in the Dong Qi continent. Though it was located within Rikui kingdom, it was only loosely associated with the royal family. The Headmaster and head teachers were not treated as subjects and were shown a certain level of respect even by the royal family itself. All the nobility sent their children to attend the school which had two courses, the cultivator's course and the normal course. Of course, it was open to the common class too, but most of them did not have the money to stay in the capital or travel there everyday for classes. There were dorms on the campus, though, for those that could afford to stay in the school but not in the city, subsidized by the tuition of others, mainly the nobility that had no need for the dormitory. It wasn't really that much of a surprise that Rong Jian was a student but... he was gone for a few months, was that ok?

"Yes! What do you think Tian'er?" Rong Jian put on a proud look as he asked her, fishing for praise like a dog that just caught a toy.

"Hm? Pretty good." Shen Tianyu offered, monotone. "By the way, was it ok for you to be away for so long?"

"Couldn't you have been more enthusiastic? It's the top school on the continent you know..." He withered and complained sulkily.

"You're at Golden Core Stage as a teen, with that kind of talent, it's not much of a surprise that you would choose Chengyuan school. In addition, you're the Fourth Prince, Zhu Wangye, of Rikui kingdom, how could you not go?"

"But it's still the top school... Tian'er is so mean to me..." He looked like he was about to cry.

Shen Tianyu sighed and then plastered a smiling expression on her face. "Wow! Big brother is so amazing! You got into Chengyuan school!" She praised in a slightly exaggerated high-pitched voice.

Rong Jian immediately lightened up and put on his proud expression again, despite how obviously fake the praise sounded. "Ahem. That's right. I'm awesome, aren't I?"

'You're going to pay for this, you little shit. Don't go too far Rong Jian.' Shen Tianyu's expression immediately dropped after the praise.

Both the eunuchs and maids felt a cold chill run down their spines. 'Their Master, the one that won't even glance at the female nobles and always had a cold face was actually trying to act cute?! Who was this?! Master, are you sure you didn't eat some strange medicine or get possessed?! Did this woman drug you or something?! But as a Golden Core Level, how could someone from a weaker plane get their hands on a drug that would work on him?'


"Anyways, since you're in school, why were you gone for so long?" Shen Tianyu casually went back to the topic at hand.

"I had things to do so I was allowed to leave before school was fully over. School is almost starting up again though." He replied with a more calm face.

"Hm. Is that so? When did they have that as a privilege?" She didn't know about such a privilege, but then again, she only read an overview of the school. There was probably more information stored by Lavender Place but she didn't want to memorize information for someplace she wouldn't be at until the far future so she just had them send a summary. Little did she know, she would be here not even a decade after she developed her business.

"It's a special privilege of the royal family." Rong Jian proudly raised his chin.

Shen Tianyu didn't speak any further and concentrated on eating, picking food from different dishes with each mouthful of rice.

"By the way Wifey, you need to enroll too." Rong Jian suddenly said in the middle of eating.

Shen Tianyu widened her eyes in surprise and almost choked. She managed to swallow without incident and asked him. "Excuse me?"

"As a Wangfei, you need to attend the school too. One reason is to build relations and another is to allow you to learn to navigate the political world." It's not the purpose of the school but as a Wangfei, it would only be beneficial for her to go.

Shen Tianyu slumped on the table, not caring about her image anymore. "You're not making me take the normal course for nobilities, are you?" She had good business and combat sense but in exchange... her art sense sucks! Music was something she was still good with, since she liked it. But poems and paintings were a different matter entirely. At most, she can recite some poems she memorized for school from her previous life. Noble ladies in ancient times were judged heavily by their art abilities, especially the more intellectual ones. Music was seen as lower class compared to poem composition and painting, though still desirable. The normal course for nobilities would definitely teach her these things and more. She thinks she was already well-behaved enough, she didn't want to be forced to remember how to sit, how to eat, how to dress... all those troublesome things that made her into a doll rather than a human.

"Well... I'm not sure. I don't mind, but you'll have to talk with mother and father if you absolutely don't want anything to do with the noble's course... you will be a Wangfei of the royal family after all..." Rong Jian scratched his cheek.
