"Feng'er don't be so reckless next time okay?" The elder girl turned around to the younger girl.
"Yes, Qing Shan Jie" (A/N: For the sake of clarity, for those that are actually sisters, it'll be Jie but for the non related ones it'll be JieJie)
"Thank you for helping me, allow me to introduce myself, I am Zi Hua, feel free to call me what you prefer" Zi Hua cut in and said, even if she was meant to stay hidden, she would always say her name is Zi Hua to those who had helped her as a basic sign of respect, plus she was proud of the name that was given to her by her parents.
But she had decided not reveal her last name since it seems that the Tian Family is quite influential from what Xue Lian had said and she didn't want to arouse attention.
"No problem, I am Anqi Qing Shan and this is my younger sister Anqi Feng, Zi Hua you can just refer to us with what you prefer" The elder girl introduced.
The Anqi Family was an influential family that was known for their refining and use of hidden weapons, cultivators would rather not go against an Anqi Family member since they could be attacked without noticing the attack, not knowing the cause of their demise.
"Nice to meet you, Zi Hua JieJie" The previous gallant and bold girl was no where to be seen but was replaced by a sweet and bubbly girl.
"Likewise" Zi Hua flashed a smile which caught them off guard since they didn't expect that someone with such an ice block face could smile.
"Would you mind if we tagged along with you?"
"Of course not" Answered Zi Hua.
The two then lined up behind Zi Hua, there were many lines so no one had lined up behind Zi Hua.
After that, Anqi Qing Shan scrutinized Zi Hua, her clothing clearly suggested that she was from a commoner family however her bearing and attitude suggested otherwise.
It turns out that Zi Hua couldn't get rid of her bearing as a former oujo-sama, she was after all the daughter of a rich family, worst of all she doesn't realize it, but it doesn't seem like it'll create too much of a problem.
Previously, whenever she did under cover missions on Earth or hid her identity here she had never needed to hide her bearing since she would be disguised as a upper class' employee who was expected to have a poised bearing or a mysterious and powerful person.
Though she could just brush it off as it being part of her nature or others could think it's from her arrogance since her cultivation would've earned praise and admiration from commoners.
After about 3 hours they finally reached the exam point, during the period of waiting, the three of them talked and got to know each other better.
During this period, apart from her initial assessment of them, Zi Hua found a new phrase to describe each of them.
Anqi Qing Shan - Sly sis-con
Anqi Feng - Delinquent oujo-sama
"Oh, it's my turn, see you in the academy" Zi Hua said and then entered the tent where the exam is supposed to take place.
A strict looking examiner waited inside the tent.
He checked Zi Hua's bone age then asked her to show her power, he nodded his head as he jotted the information down.
"Name and background?"
"Zi Hua, I am a girl from a neighboring small village" Apart from the cities, there were also some small villages, Zi Hua chose this background since if she said a city they wouldn't be able to find her in the city records and could become suspicious of her and they couldn't really go through every neighboring village and guarantee that the uneducated villagers' words were correct and not misinformation.
The examiner paused and looked up at her, his face showing a slight change of emotion, he hadn't expected her to come from such a humble background yet have above average cultivation, most others with the same age and level as her are all from large families and have been fed with lots of cultivation aiding things from young.
If she was compared to them, her talent would be slightly higher.
P.S.
I've decided to add in a ML (reluctantly - after the constant comments, LOL) but it will take another 20 chapters or so, so please be patient, he will not be the usual over-bearing ML (it would be slapping my own face if he was after Xiao Bai's rant chapter), I am a single potato so it may not be very accurate(?), but I'll try my best.
Warning: ML's character development will be rather slow.
Notice: Zi Hua will not turn into some obedient and helpless woman.
'an' means dark/shadow and wuqi means weapon so the an and qi makes anqi, which roughly translates to hidden weapons.
Qing Shan - Clear/blue mountain
Feng - Wind
