"I've heard of him." Murong Chang Feng seemed lost in thought, "Allegedly, he is actually at White Academy, but very few people can recognize him. Father, why did you suddenly ask about him?"

Prince Murong's eyes glimmered, yet contained a slight chill, "Why would a minister who has served three emperors be concealed within an academy, not asking about matters of the world? There is definitely something strange about this. According to what people are saying, the reason why Battle Spirit Forces are called spirits was because they are mysteriously hidden within every corner of White Academy. Apart from Retired Emperor who knows of their real identities, no one else currently are able to discover who they are. But one thing's for sure, they definitely are inside the academy!"

"What Father means is that this Huan Ming Xiang is a member of the Battle Spirit Forces? After Murong Chang Feng guessed at this, he had a bit of difficulty controlling his own emotions, "But, ever since I've entered the academy, I've never seen any lofty old man with a divine qi!"

"Huan Ming Xiang conducts himself eccentrically, and has always appeared and disappeared like a ghost. It's very possible he's disguised himself as a teacher within the school." Prince Murong rubbed his own chin and pondered seriously, "However, no matter what, he should be at the Superior Compound. After all, this is the most likely place for candidates who can potentially enter the Battle Spirit Forces. What you need to do is to be very polite towards every single teacher. I have a feeling, since the new students have entered, a guide from the Battle Spirit Forces will definitely appear!"

Swish, swish, swish....

Northeast corner of the commerce plaza. An old man with a hunched back held a broom in his hand, silently sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground. This is a place especially built to supply reading materials to the students, storing lots and lots of books and ancient scrolls. However, after having welcomed countless descendants from prestigious families who came to train qi, not one of them had felt that this area was worth returning to.

Except for Helian Wei Wei.

Since the age of seven, she'd lost her qi. That's why there were many things that no one had taught her. Even though Yuan Ming, a god of death, is there, he's nevertheless only a demon and can only raise her fighting strength. And in areas such as the systematic study of qi, it's better for her to depend on herself.

Within such a big courtyard, apart from one old man sweeping the grounds, there was one girl conscientiously reading books. A glorious sunset was shining down, bringing about an indescribable quietness and peacefulness.

But no one noticed that when that unremarkable old man looked up, a sharp light streaked in the corner of his eye.

He took the broom in his hand and intentionally or otherwise, swept over to the area in front of Wei Wei. Carrying a heavy load on his back, he sighed a couple of times then pointed to a high bookshelf, "Young girl, I see that your height is taller than me. Could you help my senile self take away those books, so I can clean."

Wei Wei was focused on reading and actually didn't notice that there was an old man here. Now noticing that it was indeed inconvenient for him to move around, she stood up and retrieved the old books. After she gave them to the old one, she decided to continue studying.

She absolutely didn't expect that the old man would disappear .

Her pupils constricted as she quickly looked behind her!

The old one already changed into an another appearance. His white and grey hair was suspended in space. One hand was placed behind his back while the other stroked his beard. The cuffs of his sleeves were floating lightly, like an immortal who descended. His voice was clear yet deep and resounding, "I have been sweeping here for many years. You are the first person who was willing to help me. Young girl, your heart's not bad."
