"yes!"

"knew!"

There wasn't a single coherent sound inside the room.

Even the way people reacted after hearing these words varied.

Some people frowned and looked at the blue robe in their hands with disdain.

Some people are happy and excited because of their new clothes.

Tao Ran gave the first lesson to the newly enrolled children—correcting their attire.

He had the children stand up one by one and helped them tidy their clothes.

Once everyone was properly dressed, they led them to the actual school.

Pingping and Wu Choudan followed in the group, looking around with great curiosity about the new things in front of them.

Upon entering the school, one worships the shrine of Confucius and then pays homage to one's teacher.

Students present six gifts to their teachers as a token of respect, purify their hands and minds, and then receive a cinnabar initiation ceremony to officially complete the opening ceremony.

During this break, the children can go out and chat with the elders outside.

Pingping and Wu Choudan walked hand in hand to the door and greeted Wan Qiqi and Aunt Wu.

Wu Choudan wanted to tell Wan Qiqi about Pingping being pushed, but Pingping stopped him.

Wan Qiqi noticed Feng Zheng staring at her with hostility in the crowd.

She knew Pingping's personality; she didn't want An'an to seek revenge on the spot, or even be somewhat weak.

However, children should handle their own affairs, rather than having her help them solve them.

Pingping needs to grow, not stay under her protection forever.

She didn't ask any further questions, but simply glanced at Feng Zheng.

After the entrance ceremony, the students will begin their first lesson, starting with the character "人" (person), learning to be upright and honest.

Wan Qiqi looked up at the sky; the sun was already high in the sky. She turned and headed towards the restaurant.

Aunt Wu squeezed through the crowd, but before she could even ask Wan Qiqi for anything, she had already disappeared.

She grumbled and cursed for a while before leaving the academy.
