The girl who had just showed up was Hua Jieyu, the legend of the academy.

She had become a legend not only for her unmatched beauty, but for the fact that she had managed to ace every test of the Fall Quarter Exam from the first year she had been admitted.

"You call her a beauty?" The middle-aged man looked at Ye Futian with confusion as Hua Jieyu stared at him.

"Professor, she is just too gorgeous to be human," Ye Futian laughed and explained. It was apparent to him that there was some relationship between the professor and Hua Jieyu, which made the compliment necessary.

"Okay. Sounds like you know how to talk." The professor smiled and sipped his tea, then looked at Ye Futian. "Everyone in this academy could be your master. If you want to learn more in the future, come see me; I would be okay with you calling me master."

Hua Jieyu was confused by her father. He had stopped accepting students for so long; how talented would Ye Futian have to be to get him to make an exception?

"Greetings from Ye Futian, your humble student," Ye Futian saluted.

The professor nodded and said, "I never cared about these unnecessary and over-elaborate formalities. The Fall Quarter Exam is about to start. Go prepare yourself."

"What? Today?" Ye Futian was shocked. He had not realized how long he had slept.

Ding, ding, ding. As if responding to him, the academy bell rang, the sound reverberating all over the place. Ye Futian looked off towards the distance. It was finally time.

"Jieyu, send him out," the professor told her. Hua Jieyu noticed that Ye Futian looked a bit proud.

"Come on, let's go." Hua Jieyu began leaving.

"I haven't changed yet.," Ye Futian said. The clothes on him had to have belonged to the professor.

"Then go change." Hua Jieyu was giving him the cold shoulder. Ye Futian caught up to her and asked, "So, what should I call you? Ms. Hua Senior or Ms. Hua Junior?"

"Neither."

"Well then, fox it is," Ye Futian shrugged, "What plane are you in now, fox?"

Hua Jieyu ignored his questions.

"People say that you are a Mandate Sorcerer, is that true?" Ye Futian kept asking still without a response.

"Have you ever dated anyone?" Ye Futian would not not let her go. "No comment means yes."

"No." Hua Jieyu slightly bit her lips as she stared at him with anger.

"Me neither; what a coincidence." Seeing her angry actually made him smile.

Hua Jieyu suddenly stopped. When Ye Futian looked back at her, he noticed that her young and delicate face was shining in the rays of the early morning sunlight. This made him forget everything he had had on his mind.

"You are seriously shameless." Hua Jieyu turned around and left. A smile appeared on Ye Futian's face when he saw her gradually disappear.

The academy was busier than ever today. Crowds of people were continually entering the academy.

Every Fall Quarter Exam, the big local chiefs of Qingzhou would join the event, as would the parents of the current students. They were all qualified for entry. Those who could not enter would wait outside, looking forward to finding out which students had stood out this time.
