Mi August was entangled by the silver snow and forced her body to fall 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.

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

?? 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.

??Slender, pale, tall and straight.

??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 ice was covering the earth. This strange scene did not make Mi August feel lost. After all, he was in the mist.

Even when the world was shattering in her eyes, she could remain calm, 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 was indeed the female voice that came through the air before.

??Just listening to the sound, it doesn’t sound like it was 20 years ago.

??But the appearance of a woman is rarely over fifty, and her slim and straight figure is different from that of an old man.

??Mi August thought for a while, and then 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 the master's name?"

??"Xingyi, the eight-star spiritual master, the sky peeper, cultivates the rules."

??Mi August raised his eyes slightly.

??The fact that he is an eight-star spiritual master alone is enough for him to walk sideways in Lingzhou, let alone his identity as a sky peeper.

??Xingyi’s tone is plain, without any self-confidence.

??The outside world knows that there is Shu Pingsheng, a voyeur in Du'e Academy, but they have never heard of Xing Yi.

??Obviously Xingyi's cultivation level is higher than Shu Pingsheng's, and his status in the academy seems to be extraordinary.

??Considering the ability of the sky peeper, Mi August concluded 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 of what you saw 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, "Disciple is new to the inner sect and doesn't know much about the rules here."

??Xingyi looked at her deeply.

??Few people can give up so easily and rationally after learning about their fate. 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.

??"The functions and rules of each floor in the tower are different. There will be tower guards who can answer the questions for you. Except for the top of the tower, which cannot be entered without my summons, you can move around at will 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 trembled, and he glanced at the maverick new master again.

??I wonder if the deputy dean can guess that Xingyi will broadcast his message directly.

??The message aura 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 states what benefits she will receive if she sells herself to a certain company.

??This contract also has life-long and annual contracts for you to choose from.

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

??"If I don't take the oath, will I have to leave my 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. The content no longer requires that she sell herself to the academy, but is more inclined to a mutually beneficial and equal cooperative relationship. From being loyal to Du'e Academy, it has become that if the academy does not persecute her,

She should also 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.

??In general, this contract is better than what Mi August had planned.

??She felt Xingyi’s overtures.

??So what did Xingyi know 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 of her Yin Shen identity. Let’s not say that if Xingyi had seen it, he would not have the same attitude as now. Furthermore, it is impossible for the gods 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." Xingyi added.

??Mi August raised his head, "Master?"

??Xing Yi did not elaborate further and asked: "What do you think about it?"

??Mi August smiled and took the initiative to summon Judge Jiyan.

??Judge’s iron scroll appeared in mid-air.

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

??After doing this, Xingyi gave her a wish-fulfillment bag. 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……

??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 emerald 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, such an unspectacular bird has a strength that 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 woman in front of him with a gentle smile was actually dissecting it with his 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 much more spacious than the hut in Hairpin Garden. It was 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.

??There are managers on each floor, what Xingyi calls tower keepers.
