'He's late, both of them are, Wei Ying probably woke up late like always and Jiang Cheng waited for him, good grief'. As I was told by Lan Qiren, I was sitting in the back of the class so I wouldn't distract the other Cultivators.
Lan Xichen was instructed to convey that my presence here is temporary due to family matters. I should not be disturbed or engaged in conversation unless it pertains to academic inquiries or brief introductions post-class.
Additionally, there is to be no looking or speaking to me without cause. It was also communicated that as the elder daughter of the Baihe Sect's Sect Leader, I am particularly protective of Long Pingdan, and thus, they should refrain from approaching him unless their intentions are pure.
"Classes start in 30 minutes. Where are they?" I asked with a frown as I stood up.
"Lan Zhan, I'm going to go look for Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng before class starts, I'll return before then". I said to him, he did a nod while not looking.
"Can I come, Jiejie?". Long Pingdan asked.
"No, stay here with Lan Zhan. I won't be long" I said, and he frowned.
"But, Jiejie-".
"Your elder sister spoke and said no, you'll be fine for a few minutes without her, read to distract yourself". Lan Zhan said calmly as he handed him a book, he looked back and opened the book before reading with a small pout, I did a nod before I left to find the two trouble makers, on the way, I bumped into A-Sang and his attendant on the bridge.
"Ah, morning, A-MeiMei". He said with a smile.
"Don't call her that-".
"It's alright, I've allowed him to call me that, we met yesterday". I said with a smile and with my hand up, he bowed respectfully.
"Sister Baihe, good morning". He said.
"Same to you both". I said.
"Are you looking for Brother Wei and Brother Jiang?". A-Sang asked.
"Yes, class starts in a few minutes so I thought I would go look for them before they get in trouble on their first day of class with Master Lan". I said, he hummed.
"I see, is Long Pingdan with you as well? I don't see him". He asked.
"I've left him with Lan Zhan in the Orchid Room, he was already starting to freak out". I said in humor.
"My, only for a few minutes? his anxiety must be really bad, what made him get separation anxiety if you don't mind my asking?". He asked with his fan covering half his face.

"The fan you have is beautiful; I'm quite fond of homemade fans. Did you craft it yourself?". I asked, he nodded.
"It's more of a hobby of mine, I'll make you one if you want?". He asked, I smiled.
