Chapter 137: Mia's breakthrough

"She's still eating here."

A hushed voice reached Mia's ears as she continued to munch on her dinner in the main dining hall. 

Ever since her first full day at the sect when she visited this place for the first time, she refused to take her meals at the sponsored area. Instead, she kept coming to the main dining hall, eating the same food that all the other non-sponsored disciples of the sect were privy to. 

'Being talked about is better than being outright hated,' Mia thought, raising the spoon filled with a thick soup to her mouth. 

It was already her eleventh day eating in this place. What was a novelty when she first did it now became nothing more but a curiosity for the few disciples that bothered to pay her any mind. 

After all, the greatest of the current accusations against her was that she was coming here... either to flex on the normal disciples or to get their attention in the first place!
