「Within a quiet and elegant manor at Chongxuan Academy.」
Du Ruo stood respectfully before a small building covered in green vines.
A moment later, a charming girl of about sixteen or seventeen opened the door and said softly, "School Principal Du, the Ji Jiu will see you now."
Du Ruo gave the girl a slight smile, nodded, and walked into the small building.
The building's interior was simple and elegant. An old man with a scholarly air smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb my quiet cultivation unless it was for something important? Has something major happened at the academy?"
Du Ruo bowed and said respectfully, "Ji Jiu, an Outer World Dharma Cultivator answered our summons yesterday. He passed the academy's assessment in the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. His origins are mysterious and his Divine Techniques are astonishing. After careful consideration, I decided I must inform you."
