Path of the Lilies

6. Bullying

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the largest elementary school in the capital. The name of the school was Chen Elementary School. It was named after the Imperial Family because of their influence and history. In this school, the students were not only taught basic knowledge but also basic combat.

The vast knowledge that was accumulated ever since the kingdom was built was stored in Chen School. There were also Chen Academy to study after the elementary school, which was the place they put most of their knowledge into. The elementary was mostly on the basic ones, which was more important for children to study.

"It's large," Ye Jiao murmured.

The school was extremely large in her eyes. She couldn't see the end of the wall easily. Besides, the large building in front of her should be at least several hundred meters' heights. Well, in her opinion.

Ye Xiao had a complicated smile on his face. Even though he was happy to return here again, he knew that it would not be the same as in the past. He was no longer the same aspiring genius as before. Right now, his power might be rare, but not as much as before.

Many people caught up to him and surpassed him.

Now, he was left in the dust, unable to return back to the frontline where he should be.

"Daddy will go and meet someone, so you wait in the courtyard, ok?" Ye Xiao looked at his daughter.

Ye Jiao looked up and put on a reassuring smile on her face. "I'll be fine, Daddy. There's no need for you to worry so much."

Ye Xiao nodded his head and put down his daughter. He patted the girl's head before walking into the large building. The guards around didn't bother trying to stop him because they recognized him as someone who graduated from this school. Besides, his name has become famous in this city.

While her father took his time inside, Ye Jiao scanned her surroundings. There were a lot of students walking around. They were wearing proper uniform and played around with their friends, laughing and fooling around.

Her grip tightened.

She never had a friend. No one dared to come close to her because she is a trash, the lowest existence in this world.

"Hey, there's an outsider here."

"Where?"

"Ah, you're right."

Most of the students bypassed her, but several of them seemed to take notice of her. Ye Jiao raised her head and saw two people looking at her curiously.

The two of them have brown hair with neat clothes. Although their clothes looked the same because they all wore uniforms, the two of them seemed to have the air of a noble. Not only that, there was some disposition that was rarely visible on ordinary people.

"Brother Liao, are there any new students?" the girl asked.

The boy shrugged. "I'm not sure, Wei Mi."

Wei?

Ye Jiao's heart tightened when she heard this surname. Her eyes landed on the girl's face. She felt that this girl was somewhat familiar to her and now she understood why. This was the same girl that let the stone emitted blue light in the test. They were tested on the same day with Wei Mi's result being the best and her being the worst.

Wei Mi scanned Ye Jiao up and down. "Green eyes. If I'm not wrong, she must be Ye Jiao, right?"

"Ye Jiao?" Wei Liao, the boy, had the tone of disdain as he uttered her name. For the Wei Family, the name of this trash was something that they hated the most.
