Li Ming finally took in a deep breath as she made her way into the backyard of the abandoned courtyard that was built just at a little distance away from the Array Sect.

She was initially waiting for her mates after she completed the second exam. However, she got attacked by curious seniors and teachers of the Array Sect as soon as she stepped out of the array.

It took her hours to get herself freed from their curious questions and tight clutches that were ready to tear her apart to see what kind of spiritual ocean was present inside her body.

Only ten hours were left before the second stage of the entrance exam would also come to an end, however, she could barely find any trace of even a single one of her mates.

"Looks like we are fortunate enough to come across the genius disciple that the Array Sect has earned this year."

Li Ming's attention was pulled towards a group of disciples in light lemon yellow clothes who were standing a little bit away from her.

The one who had spoken was a girl in her late teens and Li Ming did not need to be a genius to recognize the challenge and haughtiness that was visible in the girl's sharp eyes that were glaring at her, Li Ming.

At first, she thought about ignoring those little children and continue waiting for her mates while cultivating her internal force that had suffered the most during her fight with the python.

However, before she could close her eyes she noticed three figures hiding at the corner of the entrance of the abandoned courtyard.

A small twitch appeared on her hidden lips as she immediately recognized the three elders that were secretly spying on her and the current situation.

Although she was not familiar with the Academy and its teachers yet, but she was a quick observer.

She remembered seeing those three elders sitting in the medical sect section behind the Great Elder of the Medical Sect when she was in the Hall of Elders.

And if she was not wrong then the group of children that were marching towards her with haughtiness and confidence, was actually sent by those three elders.

She knew that human nature could not change, no matter if its in ancient times or in modern.

One could always find those students who were bitchy, ignorant, egotistical, and dominating. They were present in the Middle and High School that she attended back in the Modern world as well as in the Magical Academy.

And even after transmigrating to a completely new and different world, she still ended up finding a bunch of similar students.

However, what surprised her was the attitude of the teachers. No matter how bad the education and school system was in her days, the only competition between the students.

She barely found teachers competing with one another.

However, what she had observed in the Immortal world was that the teachers were even more thoughtful about their images, and they were always in competition to show themselves and their sects as the best.

Li Ming just slowly shook her head as a soft sigh left her lips.

Who would have known that her performance during the entrance exams would bring so much extra and unwanted attention to her?

Not like she actually tried to stay low-key during the exams but at that time she was only worried about getting through the exams, the thought of attracting unwanted and irritating flies never crossed her mind.

She would have loved to ignore those flies but since the elders were also included, it was not going to be an easy task.

She could not be bratty and thoughtless because it would leave a bad impression on her image. And at the same time, she could not allow her opponents to insult her and the Array sect.

She needed to keep her image as perfect and profound as she could. There was already next to no chance that Great Elder of the Array Sect would accept her as his disciple, but if she somehow caused problems for the sect then her chances would go down to negatives.

"Are you ignoring us, junior sister?"

Li Ming was pulled out of her thoughts when the same girl once again spoke up and this time her tone was carrying a mocking edge in it.

Li Ming stood up from her sitting position against one of the broken walls and started walking towards the group of seven children who were standing a few feet away from her.

"This junior greets the senior sister and the rest. Senior sister, you must be kidding. How come someone like me is capable of ignoring you. I was just a little exhausted after the exams and was trying to rest a little. This junior will apologize for not paying attention to you and your group soon enough."

Li Ming could perfectly play the role of a smart and crafty female lead in a drama based on her acting skills.

Even though her lower face was hidden by the veil and others could not see the warm smile that was covering her lips, but the sincerity and softness in her eyes were enough for the group of children to hesitate a little to counterattack her words.

The girl, who was clearly the leader of the group, smirked a little as she took in Li Ming's appearance.

Looking at Li Ming's appearance it was completely hard to tell exactly what kind of background she had.

Her light violet dress was made of high-quality fibers and the design was similar to those dresses that they had only seen the high nobles and Imperial family members wearing at special occasions.

However, her hair was normally designed with only a single jade hairpin in it. Unlike a young miss of some high novel family who would love to wear a lot of head jewelry, Li Ming appeared quite normal.

This contrast in her get-up made the group of disciples from the Medical Sect confused about her background.

They had never heard of any big noble family in the Mortal Realm known by the name of Li.

However, looking at the results of the entrance exam it was clear that Li Ming was really good at cultivation.

Only the high sects, noble families, and Imperial families had the power of helping their children in their cultivation to level them up.

In the end, Li Ming's identity had become a mystery for the disciples and also for most of the teachers.

"Junior sister, we have a favor to ask from you. Hope you won't mind."

The same girl said in a soft tone as she gave Li Ming a small fake smile.
