They arrived back at the academy te in the evening; the moon was already out and shining upon them as they saw Ning R standing there and staring at the academy sign, appearing somewhat lonely almost desote.
Tang Yin and Tang San stopped iracks and then looked at each other. After a sed of deliberation, Tang San muttered, "I think it's best we leave her alone." He said, and Yin nodded. It appeared R was thinking about something when suddenly they saw someone else walk out of the Academy, stilling and staring at Ning R.
Ning Feng.
"I so want to know what happens," Yin muttered and ducked behind a bush.
The ave her a long look as they followed her, dug into the bushes and straining their ears to hear what was going on in front of them.
"Ning Feng." Ning R greeted the taller girl, her eyes fixed on her. Ning Feng held her head high.
"Y-young Miss." She said, and they all saw R flinbsp;
"Are you here to see me fail?" R asked her bitterly, and Ning Feng shook her head in denial. That was not why she was here. They kept staring at each other when R suddenly batted her fists.
"Why are you here then?" She asked her, and Feng sighed. Theepped forward.
"T-To speak with y-you." She said and R took a step back, amost as if she felt threatened.
"I have nothing to speak about with a st..." R stopped herself before she could bee insulted and shut her mouth, crossing her arms.
"T-Te me s-speak." Feng said and called up her spirit pagoda. It shone brilliant turquoise underh the moon and was identical t Rong. "I m-might share y-your spirit b-but I am not o-of the s-same ." Feng started, and R snorted.
"As if I believe that."
"I-It does not m-matter." Feng tered her and the her spirit vanish, balling her fist. "I-I only wished t-to tell you. Y-you will not f-find people treating you h-here like a-at the . H-here you are n-no one. L-Like everyone else. N-No Uncle Long or U-Uncle Jian to protect y-you. Y-You -to groine, i-indipendence."
"How do..." R shouted and stopped herself once again before l her head. "you are probably right."
Ning Fang walked to her and then pced her fist on her chest. "T-This is I-Important." She told her. "O-Others will t-teat you as y-you treat t-them. You d-don't o c-ge who y-you are, but y-you o o p-poof yourself t-through your a-as."
"You think that is going to work?" R asked her, and Ning Feng nodded.
"Y-Yes." Feng told her. "S-stay who you a-are. But show t-them y-you skill. M-make it undisputed t-that you are t-the best. E-even surpassing your f-father. Y-you don't -to be k-kind for t-that, n-nice or a-anything." Then Feng stepped back, her head still held high as she did so. "Y-You d-do anything y-you want. Be anyone y-you want. T-That is a-a luxury."
"I don't think I do that. I am not kind, or nice, I am foul mouthed ao be arrogant."
"S-So what?" Feng tilted her head. "A-As long as y-you are the b-best, the s-stro."
"Really?"
Feng nodded and then turned, walking bato the Academy, leaving R to stand there and stare after her.
"As if I do anything else." R grumbled and marched after Feng in unonly rge steps.
"Wow..." Yin turo Tang San. "I don't think I ever heared Feng speak that much." She muttered and San nodded.
"Yeah." He said and then patted her shoulder. "I wonder where she got it from. Telling people such stuff."
"I am keen on seeing what happens tomorrow..." Xiao Wu muttered. "if R will stay or not."
"I think she will stay," Yin said. "I am not sure if I am going to like that or not. She really is spoiled."
"It will be iing." Jing interceped and then picked up Yin. "That being said you need some sleep." The he streched out his wings and rose into the sky. "you two as well."
"Hey that is mean." Xiao Wu muttered and pouted and then looked at San. He grinned and picked her pu in a princess carry as well leaning closer to her and whispering something into her ears.
Yin held on tight to Jiang as he flew towards the dorm in high altitude his rge ashen wings as they were beating the only sound. She leaned into him and listeo his heartbeat and closing her eyes dozing off slowly.
