Just as she was to turn hostile, one of the blacks coated men advanced to her and said in a low voice.

" Kid, for now just follow us, I promise you it won't be that bad. "

Qianli was a little bit surprised by this person. While she didn't know his appearance she still recognized who the voice belongs to, so she pondered for a bit about what to do and then surrendered and followed them willingly.

On the other side of the screen orb, the elders were stupefied.

" What in the world.... "

One of the elders broke the silence.

Elder Bai stood up seemingly mad and said

" Why would they take MY DISCIPLE??! "

The red robe elder said in a calm tone " Calm down master Bai, the discipline hall won't move unless it's necessary..."

He narrowed his eyes and turned to see the headmaster, but to his surprise, this powerful figure who stood at the top of the academy was shivering.

Elder Bai complained

" No this can't be right! A good excuse? My disciple just came last month and she only went on a mission which was perfectly done and no incidents whatsoever happened, and when she came back she was with that Xiao Feng all time. So you tell me, what could she possibly have done so that the discipline hall dispatches the law enforcing elders?! "

The green robe elder nodded

Elder Bai continued

" Headmaster, I demand explanation especially since I am her direct superior master. It's only within reason and after I've been informed that they should make a move against one of the disciples of my own department! "

The headmaster didn't answer, he was shivering uncontrollably since he heard the name of the sole person he should never offend in the academy earlier.

The Grand Elder's Orders!

Demand explanations from him? S*rew* you! You want me to die?!!

Why don't you go yourself dig up your own grave? Pah!

But he didn't voice out his concerns, he only smiled awkwardly and said

" For now... Master Bai... W-Why don't you calm down and h-have some tea?? "

Elder Bai nearly vomited blood

The other elders were also surprised by this response

Calm down and have some tea? Are you serious?!

----------------------------------------

 Qianli was chained and she followed the group of black coated man till they reached the disciplinary hall.

The security in that place was not lacking at all, ten guards who were wearing a serious expression guarded the entrance of the hall.

" Halt! Who are you! " One of the guards said.

The elder who was leading the group advanced presented his token and said

Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

" I am elder Fu, I was tasked to escort this disciple to the interrogatory room by the grand elder!  "

Hearing the grand elder's name the guard's expression shook and carefully inspected the token before saying

" My apologies Elder Fu, you are free to pass. "

....

Qianli was quietly observing the situation and the surroundings, but more so she carefully fixed her eyes on the one who spoke to her earlier.

She remembered his voice, it was the elder ... or senior.... who was in charge of the registration and the last exam in the selection.

She also remembered the last words that the two elders said to her back then. If it is true then this encounter was pre-destined and there are no dangers.

Her expression relaxed slightly.

The group walked until they reached a certain room, a sleeping black dog was stationed near the entrance, when they approached him he slightly opened his eyes before yawning and closing them again.

Qianli was a little surprised when she saw the dog she quietly murmured to herself

Ghost immortal hound.... No, a half-breed maybe?

With a rude behavior, they threw Qianli there and closed the door.

The elder then said coldly before leaving

" Wait here! The grand elder will come soon to question you! "

Qianli stayed there quietly without moving, her hands and legs were chained but it didn't matter to her. She closed her eyes and started cultivating inside the dark room as if nothing ever happened to her.

----------------------------------------

This kid is quite amusing....

An old man was sitting soundlessly in a chair inside the room where Qianli was cultivating, he stayed silent for a long time and didn't utter a single word.

Suddenly he sensed the ripples of Qi energy surrounding her getting stronger and stronger by the minute, she was having a breakthrough right now.

He smiled and continued to watch.

Then suddenly she opened her eyes and said " the Second level of the spiritual realm! "

" Here.... " A cold voice was heard behind her.

She instantly turned her head and saw the old man sitting in a wooden tattered chair wearing a smile on his face. His eyes were like that of a wolf staring at his prey. He didn't give a friendly aura at all.

She was surprised by the fact she couldn't sense him earlier, he hid his Qi so perfectly that she didn't even sense him sitting on the chair earlier, or maybe she disregarded his presence.... She wasn't sure.

She got up from the ground and cupped her hands, then said respectfully

" Disciple Qianli pays respect to the grand elder. "

The old man kept smiling and then asked " Oh, and how are you sure that I am the grand elder? "

Qianli was about to open her mouth, then she closed it.

She couldn't simply tell him that she sensed his Qi and reached the conclusion that he was the grand elder since he was the most powerful man she saw in the mortal world, could she?

Even disregarding this, who would be so bored to stay behind her the entire time and probe her behavior unless it was the same person who tasked Elder fu to imprison her?

After a brief moment, she said " Intuition, Sir."

He laughed a little bit before saying

" You are bad at lying little girl. "

".... "

He stood up and closed the distance between them instantly.

" Little girl, I'm at a loss right now... You see one of my disciples reported to me that you may have been practicing the black arts for a while, and one of them pleaded to not hurt you... So should I spare you? "

His face who was wearing a friendly smile earlier turned hostile instantly

" ... Or should I kill you?  I want an answer!  "

Qianli felt chills run up her body, she regained her composure and said in a friendly voice

" I think that Grand Elder already decided what to do. "

" Oh, what makes you say this? No, to be more precise, what do you think I will do? " The old man curiously asked

" You won't kill me. " She answered blatantly then she continued  " I am chained and have no way to get out of here. Giving the circumstances and the rumors that I heard about this hall and your grand person, If you really wanted to kill me earlier you would've done so without giving me a chance to explain myself. Furthermore... "

" Furthermore? "

" ... Let alone Senior Tang and the two elders back then from the selection, the black dog sitting at the entrance, and your eyes... I was not quite sure of it at first. But now I know you are not from Here. "

The old man was quiet. He didn't utter a single word for a while before asking

He learned how to hide his Qi after a long period of time cultivating, and this little girl learned his origins from his eyes? How could that be possible!

" Let's suppose what you say is the truth. Where did I come from? " The old man asked

She pondered for a bit and said

" Ghost Immortal World, probably one of the seven prestigious families. "

The old man was surprised for a bit, he narrowed his eyes and asked

" Who are you? "

Qianli smiled, she opened her enchanting red eyes before answering

" I am ... "
