The group of old men continued bickering on who will have Qianli in their own department. They went back to the secluded room to continue with their discussion.

The grand elder was not interested in the conversation, so he stood up and prepared to leave, but not before giving a special guest token to Qianli.

This will help her in difficult times to enter the disciplinary hall and seek for help or to simply do missions with them.

No one knew why he gave her such a special token since they were no precedence before, not even his own disciples!

But everyone understood it's importance, it means that no one has the right to create trouble for her or to question her decisions, the only one who she shall respond to is none other than the grand elder himself.

Who would be willing to fight against the grand elder?

The headmaster was sighing a relief just by not having to deal with him.

As for the other elders including Master Bai, they had fears that the grand elder will not reason with them using words, but using brute force. They already heard notorious rumors about him before so they were quite skeptical.

The courage they had before when they assembled and prepared to question him about taking Qianli disappeared as thin air.

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

The exam continued, and by the end of the day, all the disciples finished their tests.

The results were shown later at the evening, after calculating every point they earned during the month.

The allocation of the spiritual stones will be tomorrow, so many disciples who were happy about their results headed to the city and drank and ate until their stomach was full.

They celebrated the entire night.

Qianli was walking through the streets watching the celebration, she leisurely observed her fellow academy disciples having fun at some restaurants.

" Hmph, a bunch of low lives who are having fun instead of cultivating just because they scored well on some shitty test... "

The cold voice came from the puppet she was holding at her belt.

She casually said " Oh, so you finally decided to speak? "

The puppet sneered and said " Don't get me wrong little girl, although we fought against each other before, you ought to understand better than anyone else. This is not the right path for cultivators. "

She smiled and responded after somewhile " Then, what do you think is the right path? "

The puppet answered without flinching

" Hah, don't tell me you don't even know this?! You disappoint me greatly! The right path is none other cultivating until reaching immortality, only by cutting emotions and worldly affairs that we cultivators can proceed on the path of cultivation! "

Qianli continued to smile after somewhile she murmured

" Perhaps... "

Then she looked at the starry sky and continued to speak within herself

" But what's the point of reaching immortality? If at the end of cultivation you are the only one on this road, isn't it pointless? "

" Even if you become the strongest in the world, it doesn't mean that everyone you care for will be the same as you..."

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

" So should we really cut off all of our emotions and ties with our family? Is this really the right path? "

Many questions popped inside her head due to her curious nature. At the end, she decided to brush it off.

She gently grabbed the puppet and fixed it with her enchanting eyes. Then she asked in a gentle voice.

" What is your name by the way? "

The puppet didn't answer immediately, he asked in an unsure tone

" Why? Why would you want to know my name? "

She answered " Before when you took possession of the other disciple, you took his name. But now that you don't have a corporal body, how should I call you? "

The puppet sneered and said " What's the point of knowing my name?! Did you think I would sympathize with you just by discussing the dao? Or are you trying to make fun of me? "

Qianli's face didn't flinch, she said " Even between enemies, one must not forget his manners. Fine if you don't want to tell your name suit yourself, I'll just keep calling you puppet ... "

She put him back on her belt and continued to walk in a seemingly angry manner.

" Di Zhuo.... My name is Di Zhuo "

Qianli didn't stop walking, but this time she wore a smile on her face.

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

At Old Bu's Store

" Cheers!!! "

Some disciples were drinking and having fun, while others were already drunk and passed out.

Qianli was sitting in the corner chatting with Xiao Feng who she met moments earlier while she was walking on the streets.

Xiao Feng began eating his food as a hungry wolf, while Qianli ordered some tea and enjoyed quietly the atmosphere.

" Slow down... the food won't run away."

Xiao Feng raised his head and spoke with his mouth still full

" I-it's not that master! It's just that this food is delicious! And I've been training so hard these last days I completely forgot to eat and... "

" Mmm, I know" Qianli quietly agreed with him.

After some while, Xiao Feng raised his head and said in a proud manner.

" Master, I scored the best among the first years. My rank increased, I'm now at the 142nd rank! "

Qianli didn't open her eyes, she nodded and said

" That is quite good, but don't get full of yourself. It's not enough."

Xiao Feng seemingly annoyed that she wasn't that happy about his progress asked

" Then when will it be enough ... "

This time Qianli opened her eyes and said with a serious expression

" When you reach immortality, or a the very least God Hood. "

Xiao Feng understood the meaning behind her words, she didn't want him to die so soon so she had to help him achieve the God realm before he dies due to his rampaging bloodline.

He laughed and said " With master by my side, it will be a piece of cake. " Then he continued as to change the topic " By the way master, what is your new rank right now? "

She stopped sipping her tea, and said with an expressionless face " I don't have "

" Huh? What do you mean by... "

He stopped talking and remembered some rumors before he came this evening, apparently, there was some disciple who was taken by the elders to the law enforcement hall. Could it be that it was his master?

His face paled when he thought about this.

Then what did they do to her in the disciplinary department, did they...

Unknowingly he stood up and his aura began to change.

Qianli surprised by his sudden change of expression, instinctively knew what he was thinking about. She commanded with a serious tone " Xiao Feng! "

" Don't get the wrong ideas, they did nothing to me, in fact, it was quite beneficial for me to go there. "

She took out the special guest token and showed it to Xiao Feng

" What? They were only inviting Master to their hall?? "

He sat down again and calmed his spirit, then he asked

" But why do you not have a rank master? at the very least since they wasted your time by going there shouldn't they let you pass the exam again? "

Qianli didn't bother thinking about it, she said

" I don't really care about these matters anyway... "

She seriously didn't want to waste time trying to raise her rank in this academy, her prime objective was to gather information about this mortal plane and become a teacher, while she had fun in this academy in the past weeks, it was time that she spends more time focusing on her own cultivation and teaching Xiao Feng.

She continued speaking

" I'm actually thinking about another serious thing about you right now."

" What... thing? " Xiao Feng curiously asked

She looked at him dumbfounded and said

" Do you seriously don't know? Or did you forget? "

" Huh?? "

He tried hard to remember

He recalled his past memories about anything these past few days but nothing important came up, nothing since he ...

Wait, No!! How could I forget about this!!!

Qianli sighed and gently spoke

" It's not your fault that you forgot, it's simply because of all the things that happened that your memory treated that information as not important. It was too much of a shock to you. "

Xiao Feng's tears began to fall, what an unfilial son he was. How could he forget about taking revenge for his father?!

" Anyway, since I've made my mind to teach you until you reach God realm. I should also treat your hearts demons, or else it will be completely impossible for you to advance any further in the path of cultivation! Tomorrow, we will head out to Cyan Bamboo city. "

Xiao Feng didn't say a word, he stood up and inwardly said to himself

I will make them pay... Anyone who dared to touch my family...
