Mi August was entangled in the silver snow and forced her body to move backwards. As if the stars had moved through time and space, her feet landed in a new place again.

At one glance, the scene here was deeply etched in Mi August's mind.

There is a dark starry sky above your head, and the ground made of black stone and spiritual crystals under your feet is like a replica of the starry sky.

But Mi August remembered that when she left the Guangui Tower and passed the inner gate examination, it was still morning school time and the sky was clear.

At this time, there was a person standing sideways in front of her.

Thin, pale, and erect.

The woman turned and looked at her.

The moment Mi August and her looked at each other, they saw the changing of the four seasons. The earth was rejuvenating, the summer was scorching, the autumn was full of autumn, and the land was frozen. This strange scene did not make Mi August lost. You must know that in the eyes of the mist mirage,

She was able to remain calm even when she saw the earth shattering, as if she was just a bystander.

The earth shattering in the eyes of the mist mirage could not swallow her up, and the changing seasons in the woman's eyes could not take away her mind.

Mi August bowed to the old woman with long white hair and respectfully addressed her as: "Senior."

"From today on, I am your master." the woman said.

This opening turned out to be the female voice that had broken through the air before.

If you just listen to the sound, it doesn't sound like it was 20 years ago.

But the appearance of women is rarely said to be over fifty, and their slender and upright posture is different from that of the elderly.

Mi August thought for a while and shouted calmly: "Master."

"You don't have anything to ask?" the woman asked.

Mi August smiled and said: "There are many."

The woman waved her hand, and two futons appeared on the ground, allowing Mi August to sit down, "You ask and I answer."

Mi August sat down, "Disciple Mi August, do you dare to ask your master's name?"

"Xingyi, an eight-star spiritual master, a sky peeper, a cultivator of rules and regulations."

Mi August raised his eyes slightly.

Just being an Eight-Star Spiritual Master is enough for him to walk sideways in Lingzhou, let alone his identity as a sky peeper.

Xingyi's tone was plain, without any pride.

The outside world knew that there was Shu Pingsheng, a voyeur in Du'e Academy, but they had never heard of Xing Yi.

It is clear that Xingyi's cultivation level is higher than that of Shu Pingsheng, and his status in the academy seems to be extraordinary.

Taking into account the ability of the sky peeper, Mi August guessed from Xingyi's attitude that the other party did not like to be tactful, so he asked directly: "Master, did you accept me as a disciple because you saw something from the sky?"

Xingyi nodded.

Mi August: "Can disciples know?"

Xing Yi said: "It is not good for you to know the secret of heaven in advance, and it may disrupt your lifeline."

Mi August understood that this meant rejection. With her current strength, she couldn't force an eight-star spiritual master.

"Disciple understands." She changed the topic calmly, "This disciple has just entered the inner sect and doesn't know much about the rules here."

Xingyi looked at her deeply.

Very few people can give up so easily and rationally after learning about their destiny. This shows the determination of the girl in front of her, and this determination is especially valuable and terrifying for someone who is only a teenager.

"You are my only disciple, all the rules here are open to you, you don't need to abide by them."

Xingyi opened her hand, and a shrunken spire appeared in the center of her palm.

"Each floor in the tower has different functions and rules. There will be tower guards who can answer your questions. Except for the top of the tower, which cannot be entered without my summons, you can move around anywhere else."

Mi August stared at the strange-shaped spire and replied: "Yes."

At this time, Xingyi felt something and reached out to grab it in the void.

A bit of spiritual light was caught in her hands.

The deputy dean's voice came from the aura.

"Xingyi, don't forget to take the oath of independence."

Mi August's eyes flickered, and he glanced at the maverick new master again.

I wonder if the vice president could guess that Xingyi would broadcast his message directly.

After the aura of the message dissipated, Xing Yi looked as usual and said to Mi August: "The oath of independence is a consistent practice of the Lingzhou sect. You need to swear loyalty to Du'e Academy to Judge Jiyan. In the future, your honor and disgrace will be related to the academy, so you can't live alone."

A piece of paper floated in front of Mi August. Mi August lowered her head to look at it. Using her experience in her previous life, she described it as equivalent to a contract.

The contract stated what benefits she would receive if she sold herself to a certain company.

This contract also has lifetime and annual contracts for you to choose from.

Regarding the rules of the oath of independence, Mi August has known about it for a long time, but now he has truly experienced it.

"If we don't take the oath, will we leave the disciples idle in the inner sect?"

Xingyi didn't seem surprised that she would ask such a question, "It's just that the core resources of the inner sect will not be open to you."

The 'contract sheet' in Mi August's hand turned into aura and disappeared, and a new piece of paper was delivered into her hand.

The new contract is different from the previous one. In terms of content, it no longer requires that she sell herself to the academy, but is more inclined to a mutually beneficial and equal cooperative relationship. From having to be loyal to Du'e Academy, it has become that if the academy does not persecute her, she will also

Do not take the initiative to do anything harmful to the academy.

As for resources, the method of obtaining them will be more difficult than that of an inner disciple who independently pledges allegiance, but she will not be turned away.

Overall, this contract is better than what Mi August had planned.

She felt Xingyi's overtures.

So what exactly did Xingyi see in the lifeline that made an eight-star high-level spiritual master treat her like this? With Xingyi's strength, it would be easy to crush her to death now.

Of course, Mi August doesn't look down on herself. Her hidden value is enough to impress any force.

But the lifelines that Xingyi saw should not be those related to her Yin Shen identity. Let’s not say that if Xingyi had seen it, it would not be the same attitude as it is now. Furthermore, it is impossible for a spirit to be unaware of being spied on.

"These are the academy's resource rules, and the convenience I give you has nothing to do with them." Xing Yi added.

Mi August raised his head, "Master?"

Xingyi didn't elaborate further and asked, "What do you think about it?"

Mi August smiled and took the initiative to summon Judge Weiyan.

The Iron Scroll of the Judge of Trickery emerged in mid-air.

Mi August took the oath in accordance with the contract in hand.

After doing this, Xingyi gave her a wish-fulfilling bag, and the next second Mi August experienced another change of fortune, and his location changed again.

"Senior sister." A clear girl's voice sounded next to her.

Mi August turned around and saw a bird with bright feathers.

This is……

It is neither strange nor strange, and has no breath of flesh and blood.

"Senior sister, my name is Zhitong." The bird's little beak opened and closed, making a human voice, and its alexandrite eyes shone brightly, "Master Xing is busy, Zhitong will be responsible for taking care of senior sister's daily life in the future."

Mi August stretched out his hand.

Zhitong flew to her forearm and tilted his head to look at her.

"Are you a puppet?" Mi August asked with interest.

Zhitong said: "Zhitong is a magic weapon."

"How many stars?"

"Six stars."

"..."

In other words, the strength of such an unspectacular bird is at the upper-middle level in Lingzhou.

Mi August stroked Zhitong's feathers with his fingers, and the touch was no different from that of a real bird.

The desire to study new things boils in my chest.

Zhitong had no idea that the gentle smiling woman in front of her was actually 'dissecting' her all over with her eyes and techniques.

"Sorry to trouble you." Mi August said.

Zhitong: "No trouble, this is Zhitong's responsibility. No new people have come here for a long time."

Zhitong took Mi August to live in the tower. The room was far more spacious than the hut in Hairpin Garden, fully furnished, and completely free of the dampness and darkness of the tower house.

After that, Zhitong introduced to Mi August the functions of the several floors in the tower. There is a library on the first floor, a material room on the first floor, a laboratory on the first floor, and a retreat room on the first floor.

Each floor has a manager, what Xingyi calls a tower guardian.
