Cultivation Goddess
Chapters 13. Pretending Stupid
Fang Yin always remembered the words of Elder An, where he had to hide his ability in playing the moves of the Book of Nine Dragons he mastered.
Before training, Fang Yin also swallowed a pill that was able to suppress his strength in order to not reveal any Qi flow in his body and the kind of energy he had. Although even an expert teacher would not be able to detect the cultivation level possessed by Fang Yin because the pill had the ability to control the eight meridian points in Fang Yin's body.
When night fell and everyone fell asleep in his dreams, Fang Yin sneaked off to go outside the academy to make the pills he needed. Inside his storage ring was an enormous supply of medicinal plants he had taken from the Southern Star Forest. He was so grateful to keep it in such a large amount that he had no more trouble finding it.
It was not uncommon for Fang Yin to use sneaky means so that his actions would go unnoticed by his roommate. Fang Yin placed the medicinal powder that was able to put people to sleep for a short period of time through the lanterns that were in the room. Smoke from burning powder will react immediately.
The days Fang Yin spent in the academy made her even more uncomfortable. He received a different treatment from the other students. Especially in the facilities.
Many times Hao Yu helped her by lending her toiletries and the others. However, Fang Yin never received his help. Including food, Fang Yin never complained even though she could not afford to pay for extra food like her other friends.
'What a very strong discrimination. I did not expect that in this era it is not much different from the modern era. Equally cruel to the weak and upholding the strong.' Fang Yin stared at the food nanar before him.
During the month of being in that academy, there was no meaningful change for Fang Yin. Boredom began to sink into his heart. Pretending to be weak and always oppressed made the hatred and resentment in his heart even more blazing.
Not only students, the elders and administrators of the academy also often act unfairly. They always put the son of a higher nobleman first and ignore their mistakes. Fang Yin was often overlooked and rarely received any attention when they practiced simultaneously.
'I'm tired of all this. I'm like a fly that's disgusting to them.' Fang Yin walked back and forth in the room that night.
For a long time he did not sharpen the style he had. Fang Yin thought of finding a safe way to be able to leave secretly from that academy. Tonight he has to find a way.
This time Fang Yin did not go sneaking around anymore. He walked leisurely while pretending to see the beauty of the night. He saluted and greeted anyone he met.
His steps came to a halt when he reached the back garden that was directly adjacent to his room. Fang Yin touched the wall that was in front of him, still sturdy. It felt impossible if he made a rat's way by punching holes in that wall. The wall was also too high and would definitely be visible from a distance when he jumped it.
Fang Yin walked again until he accidentally stepped on a hollow ground. It looks like the hole was used to drain the water out in the rainy season. The hole looks small and can only fit a pig. But it was possible for him to enlarge the hole and wear it as a way out.
Fang Yin's eyes circulated his gaze looking around him. Slender. Feeling that no one was looking at him, Fang Yin wanted to take action immediately. He first disguised his existence by hiding his presence.
The Snow Cloud Qi started flowing in Fang Yin's right hand. Slowly it was thrown into the ground to make the ground freeze. As a final step, Fang Yin concentrated the Golden Light Qi on his left foot then stomped forcefully.
The tremors from that power were quite pronounced and would probably provoke the elders to search for the source of the tremors.
With a quick movement Fang Yin went into the hole he made and again covered it with the soil and wild plants he had originally frozen. Not forgetting he wiped out his energy traces with the Dragon Breath Force. The secret moves of the Book of the Nine Dragons were rarely known to the general public.
Fang Yin's feet still continued to stomp to open the way and lower the ground level so that he could break out. This path he could use at any time when he wanted to break out of the academy secretly. It didn't take long to get outside the walls and just like Fang Yin had expected, the energy aura of the elders looked very close to his existence.
Fang Yin followed the aqueduct where he was resting at this moment. He needed a quiet place to practice and cultivate. According to him the Qi available in the nature surrounding this academy was very adequate. Perhaps that was the reason for the elders of the Seven Star Academy to choose this location to build the school even though the place was remote.
Fang Yin's eyes sparkled with delight when he reached a rocky river flanked by two high cliffs. The river water seemed to sparkle reflecting the shining moonlight. Fang Yin's originally chaotic mood now felt calmer while in the wild.
That night, Fang Yin made the best use of time and only returned to the academy when it was almost dawn.
He was forced to enter his room through a back door that was directly related to the reading room.
'Luckily I haven't locked it yet.' Fang Yin breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as he entered and walked sneaking to his bed.
Ever since discovering that secret passage, Fang Yin had always woken up and received punishment from the elders who taught her group. Sometimes Fang Yin could not attend training and was asked to do unreasonable tasks such as lifting water to fill the entire bathtub of the elders or cleaning the entire garden. Fang Yin only smiled sinisterly as he stared at the world's slaves.
Today there was a family of one of the disciples in the academy who was visiting his son. He brought a large amount of food to be distributed. He glanced towards Fang Yin who was sitting aloof under the tree. The old man walked up to him to give him the food he was carrying.
"No need, Dad! He's a very strange man. Food from his own friends he refused, especially from us. Isn't that right Hao Yu?" asked the disciple to Hao Yu who was sitting not far from Fang Yin.
'You're right. I would not be willing to accept food from a proud person like you, Fang Yin's inner being.
Seeing that Fang Yin was not eating, Hao Yu walked up to him and intended to split his food. Although Fang Yin repeatedly refused his gift, it did not dampen his intention to give.
"You just eat. I don't usually eat rich people's food. I'm afraid my stomach is heartburn." Fang Yin refused the food.
"Well if you don't want to eat it then neither do I." Hao Yu walked up to a senior disciple and gave his share.
He had no kapok-kapoknya approaching Fang Yin even though Fang Yin always ignored him. He thought Fang Yin was a unique girl. Amidst the handsome and rich men he was never insecure of being the only female disciple. Actually if he wanted to, he could take advantage of the kindness of Hao Yu who had always paid attention to him.
By late afternoon, the disciples began to return to their respective rooms after enjoying the souvenirs from the Yao nobility.
As the night approaches, the strangeness begins to occur. Everyone who ate the food of the Yao nobility experienced strange symptoms of illness. Their bodies were itching with stomach nausea and vomiting. The elders exerted their strength and asked the chefs in the academy to make herbal drinks.
Fang Yin was still speechless and reluctant to act. His pain still prevented him from doing good and helping them. Who knew that the herbal drink made by the academy's chef was truly potent, so he didn't have to bother helping with their treatment.
"Xiao Yin's. The friends who ate the food of the Yao noble fell ill," Hao Yu told Fang Yin who was going to sleep.
"I have nothing to do with them. I want to sleep," Fang Yin replied as she pretended to close her eyes.
Hao Yu followed what Fang Yin did because he also could not do anything to help the sick disciples.
