  The Grandmaster raised his head, his face full of disbelief.

  How could it be?

  Fifteen years old?

  That young, without anyone instructing her, and she made a Soul of Ice?

  The Grandmaster seemed to have thought of something. He said impatiently: "Let me see the sword."

  "Yes." Li Feng raised both of his hand, handing over the blade that was covered with a black cloth.

  The Grandmaster ripped open the black cloth. He softly ran his finger over the blade when his eyes widened. He suddenly fell sitting on the hallway's rocky step, his entire person full of shock, " This blade is not a Soul of Ice, but a Silver Spirit!"

  "Silver Spirit?" That was the first time Li Feng had ever heard of it, "What is that, Grandmaster, did I thought wrong? This blade isn't actually good?"

  "NO!!!" The Grandmaster took a deep breath, his eyes shining, "This blade is much more exquisite than a Soul of Ice. You probably know that when you take a Soul of Ice off its sheath, it could freeze a certain portion of your enemy's movement. As for a Silver Spirit, it could freeze your opponents nerves, it's effectiveness is at least ten times better than a Soul of Ice!"

  Li Feng's jaw dropped after hearing it, he did think that the girl was gifted, but he didn't expect that she was that amazing!

  With last time's experience, the first thing the Grandmaster did after he regained his wits was to grip onto Li Feng's collar as he asked, "Then the girl ? Where's the girl? Did you ask her for her name?"

  [Please don't be like that foolish Tu Lao, forgetting to ask anything!]

  Li Feng was stunned, "I, I forgot to ask for her name."

  "You! You guys! Ugh!" The Grandmaster was exasperated at Li Feng's mistake.

  Li Feng saw his disappointed face and told him quickly, " However the girl hasn't left yet. I thought that she wasn't an ordinary talented girl, so I kept her at the Business Plaza. If Grandmaster wants to meet her, you could….."

  Without waiting for Li Feng to finish, the elder in front of him quickly turned, his long-sleeves fluttering as he ran straight towards the Business Plaza. Nobody could tell he was over a hundred years old with his speed, being a person of virtue and fame…

  Bang!

  Helian Wei Wei who was sipping tea raised her eyes when the sound of the door being kicked open reached her.

  In front of the door stood an elderly man wearing a white gown. With the warm sunlight shining upon him and his ashy grey hair, his entrance was as if filled with celestial air. However the aura was quickly dimed when he began to speak. "You're the girl who made the Silver Spirit sword?"

  "If the Silver Spirit that you're speaking of is that blade, then yes, I made it." Helian Wei Wei calmly put down the tea cup, her expression calm and serene.

  The Grandmaster's eyes sparkled as he walked over to her before he holded her hand, " Future Master has finally found you!"

  Future Master? Found you?

  Helian Wei Wei stared at the elder's actions, her mouth twitching.

  "Haha, Woman, when did you have such a passionate master?" Yuan Ming teasingly said.

  Helian Wei Wei held her head, she also wanted to know from where this old funny guy had come from.

  "Grandpa, I think you're mistaken, I don't have a master." Saying this, Helian Wei Wei wanted to quickly get her hand back…

  Helpless, the Grandmaster persisted, "No, I'm not wrong, Future Master is sure that you're the person Future Master was waiting for!"

  "Woman, are you sure that this old man isn't trying to take advantage of you?" Yuan Ming was without doubt one who loved to provoke war, always hoping to have a good fight. Even though bullying the elderly was a bit mean, this elder here was clearly looking for a fight, immediately rushing up to touch her hands!

  Helian Wei Wei felt really fl.u.s.tered. She sometimes wanted to crack open Yuan Ming's head and see what strange things were inside. It was always either about women or wanting to have a fight. What was even more hilarious was that every night he would always feel very narcissistic of himself, thinking that she had fallen in love with him...

  Chapter 23 - Number One Handsome Man

  Helian Wei Wei was also powerless dealing with this matter.

  She wanted to ask if the White Academy had teachers who specialized in Psychology, because she wanted to see if her pet really wasn't sick in his head!

  "Woman, you're looking at me like that again! And you still dare say that you have no weird thoughts about me! Humph, just give up, this deity will never fall in love with a human!" Yuan Ming said with a red face, giving off an elegant aura.

  Helian Wei Wei "...….."

  "Disciple? What's wrong Disciple?" The Grandmaster couldn't hear what Yuan Ming was saying. Naturally he wouldn't understand why, during the short time he was here, the girl would sigh and ruffle her hair, looking very depressed.

  Helian Wei Wei coldly pushed his hand off, getting up from the wooden chair, " Let me tell you again. I don't have a Master, you've mistaken me for someone else."

  "Wait!" As if realizing that his ways were a bit extreme, the Grandmaster was afraid that this talented apprentice would run away. He slowly changed his tone, with the might of a profound elder, "Young girl, don't be afraid. I just want to talk with you about armaments. That's all."

  Helian Wei Wei, hearing the subject was about business, halted her steps." What did you want to talk about?"

  "How many armaments have you made?" The Grandmaster smiled like a cunning fox, thinking that this girl was pretty good, neither obsequious nor supercilious. And above all, really polite.

  Helian Wei Wei indifferently replied "Two."

  "Two?" She had only made two weapons before making a Silver Spirit?

  Helian Wei Wei calmly nodded, and continued, "The first one was made at the Phoenix Loft. There seemed to be an Armament Master Assembly or something, so I went try it out."

  "Assembly? Are you talking about the assembly that Tu Lao arranged?" The Grandmaster couldn't sit still anymore as he felt his heart tremble. In this world, were there coincidence like this?

  The Grandmaster hastily asked "What did you make at the assembly?"

  "It wasn't a sword." Helian Wei Wei sipped her tea again and said leisurely " It was a whip, I made a long whip."

  The elder instantly stood up with a swoosh, this time he couldn't contain his excitement anymore. Clenching his fists, he said. "That wasn't a long whip, it was a Nine Tunes Silver Snake! Young girl, did you know that we have searched the entire city for you! Hahaha, I still can't believe that you came to the academy. Wait, that's not right, with your talent you should join the White Academy! Yup! Since I met you earlier than Tu Lao, this old one have to make you my apprentice and let that arrogant brat see that there's another genius other than him!"

  Helian Wei Wei didn't say anything during the whole rant, her face expressionless. However, when the Grandmaster finished his last sentence, she smirked. " I don't accept."

  Lazily saying those three words, the girl hadn't shown any hesitation nor concern. This stunned Li Feng who had just walked in.

  He must have heard it wrong, someone actually dared to reject the Grandmaster?

  Does this young girl know who the elder standing in front of her was?

  Several aristocratic families in the Capital had wanted to join the Grandmaster's tutelage. But they were all rejected by him.

  And now, the Grandmaster had finally found someone he wanted as a disciple with great difficulty and what did she do? She unexpectedly said no!

  "Why won't you accept?" The Grandmaster was also shocked that the girl had rejected him as his wrinkled face became red, his demeanor also showed that he was offended.

  With one of her hand supporting her chin, Helian Wei Wei casually said, "From what Grandpa just said, you seem to want to take another person as your disciple, but he rejected you right?"

  "Yes." He didn't plan on hiding anything from her.

  Li Feng was astonished. Someone had rejecte
d the Grandmaster before? Who? How come he didn't know about it?

  Helian Wei Wei put the money away and smiled casually. " I, Helian Wei Wei, won't ever become someone's replacement."

  Helian Wei Wei? Why did this name seem so familiar? Li Feng frowned, glancing at the young girl before him.

  The Grandmaster felt anxious now and said very sincerely," No, young girl, you're mistaken. This Old One did not see you as a replacement. This Old One really wants to accept you as my apprentice from the bottom of my heart, my one and only apprentice for the rest of my life!"

  Helian Wei Wei stopped, her eyes glimmering. Maybe she should have a Master, this wasn't the modern era after all, having more friends was much better than having more enemies. Moreover with him instructing her, it would take less detours making armaments.

  "Okay, but you still have to pay me the armaments that I send here."

  When the Grandmaster heard 'Okay', he was so happy he could fly. He could care less about money, laughing loudly while stroking his beard, " Sure, sure,sure! If my apprentice want something, Master will definitely give it to you!"

  Hearing his statement, this old man's position must be high. Helian Wei Wei smiled, not pondering too much about it.

  However, Li Feng who was standing by the side, suddenly jumped up, staring startled at Helian Wei Wei. "AH! I remember who you are! You're the one who just got her marriage annulled by the Murong family, that tr…"

  He really couldn't say the word 'trash'.

  That kind of armament that can make anyone's heart tremble. Moreover, with all his days dealing with armament weapons, yet even he couldn't help but admire her!

  Who would've thought, that the Miss who was hated by all in the Capital, was an unmatched Armament Genius!

  Could it be that throughout all these years, she was always hiding her ability?

  Only, he didn't know if the Murong Family knew about this, would they regret endlessly from withdrawing from the marriage.

  Actually this annulment of the marriage wasn't a secret, moreover it was spread out really noisily.

  When the two babies got engaged, the General's residence was still controlled by the Helian Old Master. However, since he has passed away, the Helian Family was done for. Plus this young girl who didn't have an ounce of Qi, the Murong Mansion started to complain, forgetting the kindness that was given to them by Helian's Old Master. Everything in their heads at all times of the day were about how to turn this marriage down.

  And now, they finally got want they wanted. But they will never know, what they've missed!

  Li Feng shook his head, sighing, thinking that the affairs of the world were really not set in stone, nothing was certain.

  The Grandmaster coldly humphed, "Murong? Isn't that the disciple Tu Lao accepted? His behavior is not good, he's not even handsome, he can't compare with my disciple! Dare to cancel his marriage with her? Humph, men like him, she wouldn't want even if they were given to her!"

  Li Feng raised his head, "Grandmaster, I've heard the Murong Young Master was ranked third as the most handsome man in the whole city. Since he withdrew from the marriage, several Young Misses from aristocratic families have sent proposals to the Murong's Residence, all wanting to marry him."

  The Grandmaster humphed angrily in his beard when suddenly, his eyes sparkled. He said proudly, " It's just the third place! Dear Disciple, later on, Master will introduce the number one most handsome man in the city to you, a hundred times better than that Murong Young Master!"

  Chapter 24 - Found the Wrong Person

  The most handsome man… Li Feng subconsciously thought of that person from the royal palace. Allegedly, his Royal Highness will be returning to White Academy this year. Don't know what he would look like if he removed that mask of his?

  Would it be an appearance ruined by the burns of a big fire, or would it still be as handsome and godlike as before?

  I'm afraid this matter was one that only Grandmaster Zhi Zun and Principal Tusu knew of, because other than the Retired Emperor, only these two people have seen his Royal Highness' grown appearance.

  Alright, maybe the High Priest could also be included, but it seemed that the High Priest was still in closed door meditation, and simply could not have come here.

  Otherwise, with those two people's looks and bearing, they would have definitely brought about no small disturbance to the White Academy … …

  "In any case, my good disciple, you should rest assured. Who would dare say they dislike my official disciple!" The old man spoke vigor, his expression forceful and domineering.

  Li Feng gently coughed twice, "His Royal Highness would. He wouldn't only dare say, but would also dare to, kick you away with one leg. Has Grandmaster forgotten this matter?"

  "You!" Grandmaster turned around, wondering what had gotten into Li Feng, this little guy, destroying every stage he had set up today. In other words, contradicting his every plan.

  "That Royal Highness is?" Helian Wei Wei lifted her brows in query.

  Grandmaster moved closer to her and in a hushed tone, he replied, "The current Third Prince. He's also entering White Academy this year. That young guy is too sinister, his retaliation is tenacious. Disciple, if later you should chance upon a man wearing a mask, you must hide far away!"

  "Mhm hm." Wei Wei responded absentmindedly.

  How would Grandmaster know, his dear disciple had already offended that person, and even in the worst possible way … …

  Wei Wei didn't explore this matter further, in any case, from the moment she entered White Academy and thereafter, she hadn't encountered any masked man, but would like to make a little request, "Master, for the matter of you accepting me as a disciple, can you temporarily not tell other people?"

  "Why?" Grandmaster's eyes opened wide, it wasn't easy for him to accept a disciple formally, and was thinking of showing off a bit to Tu Lao and the others!

  Wei Wei curved her lips into a smile, "It would be more interesting for the enemies to be out in the light while I'm hidden in the shadows, also … … Master only needs to teach me and that's good enough, I can handle all other matters on my own."

  She intended to find a backer to lean on, but that didn't signify that she wanted to become someone who needed to be protected from every single thing, like a second-generation rich heiress.

  Compared to relying on others, she'd prefer to fight her own battles.

  "Dear disciple, ahhh." Grandmaster looked at his own disciple, replied quietly, "Actually, you don't need to be so sensible." It wasn't easy at all for him to have accepted a disciple, so what if he brought her around to show off!

  For the purpose of becoming respected, Wei Wei was dead set on this idea, "You have to agree. In addition, you need to pretend you don't know me when in front of others."

  "No way!" Grandmaster shook his head from side to side like a child, "This old man refuses! This old man was even planning on teaching that boy, Murong, a lesson on your behalf!"

  Wei Wei knew the old man wanted what's good for her, she chuckled and coaxed, "Master, there are so many people at White Academy, you are also a Master here, when everybody finds out that you've accepted a good-for-nothing as disciple, they will laugh at you."

  "Who dares!" Grandmaster turned his head and roared, "Li Feng, you tell this old man, who would dare to ridicule my disciple!"

  Le Feng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, afraid to make a sound. He knew that the grandmaster was truly angry at this time.

  Wei Wei touched and rubbed her nose, "Then let's wait and talk about it again in one month."

  "One month?" Grandmaster's eyes flashed abruptly, "Disciple, are you talking about the testing event taking place one month after school starts?"

  "Correct." Wei Wei's eyes looked up, their light shining unimpeded, "I want every single person to know, I, Helian Wei Wei, am not lovesick, and am not a good-for-nothing!"

  Grandmaster looked at her dazed, then suddenly let out a big laugh, "Ha ha, good, good disci
ple!"

  Then let them have a good look, his disciple was not merely good at Armament construction, but was also good at beating others!

  Li Feng, however, didn't share the same glorious expectations, he had not forgotten Wei Wei's previous test results. With a fragmented qi foundation, even if she was an Armament genius, that still won't change the reality of her low aptitude. In addition to White Academy having so many elites, he was really worried about how Wei Wei would perform in a month's time … …

  Night fell, a crescent moon hung in the sky, as the shadows of trees swayed.

  Within the academy's eastern region sat a compound concentrating those praised as geniuses. Those living here were all daughters and sons of influential families.

  Therefore, here, whenever someone infiltrated, he would catch the attention of all the new students.

  Moreover, it was two people coming at once.

  "Ah Jue, it's here." Nangong Lie devilishly laughed, tiptoed to the wood door straight ahead, "I helped you asked around, that 'little kitten' is living in this room!"

  Baili Jia Jue curled his thin lips, nibbling on his left glove, the moonlight illuminated his handsome, blemish-free features, like a demon corrupting and bewitching people's hearts, "Very good."

  Thereafter.

  Only a 'bang' was heard!

  He placed both hands into his silver-colored fur coat, then with his long leg, resolutely kicked open that wooden door in front of him!

  Nangong Lie hastily jumped to the side, then stretched out his neck and complained, "Ah Jue, damn! Next time, before kicking down the door, can't you say something first!So aggressive!"

  Baili Jia Jue didn't pay him any attention and leisurely strolled into that quaint room. Within their own rooms, all the misses and young masters from prestigious families who heard the ruckus, stopped what they were doing and couldn't help but look towards that direction.

  His gaze didn't pause in the slightest, his imposing bearing strode forward towards the inner room … …

  "Wasn't this the young lord who just entered the academy today?"
