Chapter 83

Yuling was assigned to a single room on the north side of the Elegant Courtyard, right next to Miaoxian’s private quarters and Jinglian Studio. The mere thought of the thirty taels of gold she had just shelled out made her heart ache! Well, money really does make the ghosts push the millstones. Ever since she moved out of the Bai Mansion and into these fine quarters in the Elegant Courtyard of Luyin Pavilion, she felt exceptionally comfortable. Both body and soul were immensely refreshed. Normally, disciples who paid the entry fee of three taels of gold had to squeeze into rather cramped four-person rooms with their peers. Only the rare few who paid the hefty extra tuition were permitted to live in single courtyard rooms. Aside from the peace and quiet, this allowed them to practice the zither without restraint and spared them the trouble of petty friction.
