When Jiuge woke up, she found herself lying in a dilapidated house, with water droplets still dripping from the leaky tiles on the roof.

Not far away, a white-haired old man was sitting there. When Jiuge opened her eyes, the old man immediately handed a bowl of hot soup to her and said with concern: "Little girl, you're awake, you're hungry." Come on, let’s warm up with a bowl of hot soup first.”

Hearing the sound, Jiu Ge was a little scared at first, but after confirming that the other party was not malicious, she relaxed her vigilance, took the bowl, and drank heavily.

After seeing Jiu Ge drink up all the soup in the bowl, the old man asked her name and origin.

Although Jiuge didn't understand why the old man took her in, she didn't hide her life experience. She told the old man all her experiences from childhood to adulthood, including her terrible gambler father and the dark and dirty childhood memories. …

After hearing Jiu Ge's experience, the old man was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "Since you are homeless, please stay with me."

After all, this child is so pitiful. If she is allowed to leave, she will definitely starve to death or freeze to death.

"Thank you, thank you grandpa." Jiuge said gratefully. This was the first time she felt the warmth of family affection since she was a child.

In this way, Jiuge lived in this dilapidated house. The old man told her that this was a village in the back hill of Tianxin College, and he was an old man sweeping the floors at Tianxin College.

Jiuge likes this place very much. Although life here is poor, everyone in the village is kind and friendly to her.

In a blink of an eye, many years have passed, and Jiuge has slowly grown from the little girl she was back then to a slim girl.

……

Tianxin Academy, outside the Beishan training ground.

Just when Jiuge was distracted looking at the leaves above his head, a familiar shout suddenly sounded from behind him:

"song--"

Hearing this voice, Jiuge paused, then turned around, only to see a white-haired old man looking at her with a smile on the side of the training ground.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Jiuge put down the broom and walked towards the old man.

"I happened to pass by here and saw you standing here alone in a daze again, so I came over to see you." The old man said with a smile.

This old man is none other than the old sweeper who took Jiuge in many years ago. No one in Tianxin College knows his age or his real name. Everyone is accustomed to calling him "Broomhead".

"Grandpa, I..." Jiuge pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, the old man gently rubbed the top of her head and asked with a smile: "Ge'er, tell grandpa, do you also want to enter Tianxin Academy to practice?"

Hearing this, Jiuge was startled, and then lowered his head in embarrassment, "Yes, Grandpa, I really want to practice, but the tuition fee for Tianxin College is three thousand silver leaves a year, and now I am just a sweeping girl. , I can’t save a few silver leaves in a year, so I think I’d better forget it…”

"Silly girl!" The old man smiled kindly, patted her shoulder again, and said comfortingly: "Who stipulated that the sweeping girl can't practice cultivation? Grandpa will find a way to deal with Silver Leaf..."

"Really...really?" Jiuge raised his eyes fiercely.

"Of course it's true!" The old man nodded, "Grandpa will never lie to you. Well, it's getting late. Grandpa has brought you your favorite sesame seed cakes. Go and eat them."

Hearing this, Jiuge was moved in his heart and couldn't help but throw himself into the old man's arms: "Grandpa, you are so kind to me, I don't even know how to repay you!"

"Silly boy, grandpa has raised you for so many years, not for you to repay him. Okay, go and eat." The old man touched Jiuge's head and said with a smile.

"Yeah." Jiuge sniffed hard and responded obediently.

……

Nebula Empire Imperial City, Yuhua Palace.

Nangong Yueze and her sister Nangong Wanyan were sitting next to their mother Chen Shuxian, tasting the exquisite pastries on the table together.

"Ze'er, you are 15 years old this year. Your father told me yesterday that he would send you to Tianxin Academy to practice." Chen Shuxian suddenly said.

"Tianxin Academy?" Nangong Yueze raised his head slightly, "Is the mother-in-law talking about the largest junior training academy in the Nebula Empire?"

"That's right, your father has already made an agreement with Master Qin from Tianxin Academy. He will personally accept you as a disciple and teach you how to practice." Chen Shuxian said with a smile, "When you become a high-level spiritual master in the future, Your father will send you to the most prestigious Zixu Academy in Tianyan Continent."

"But as far as I know, Master Qin from Tianxin Academy is only an eighth-level spiritual king. With his qualifications, I'm afraid he can't teach me anything." Nangong Yueze said with some disdain.

"You can't say that. Although my mother-in-law doesn't know anything about cultivation, Master Qin has agreed to accept you as his disciple. Why are you still dissatisfied?" Chen Shuxian glared at Aizi angrily.

"..." Nangong Yueze hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Since the mother-in-law wants my son to go to Tianxin Academy, I reluctantly agreed!"

"Good boy, this is my mother's good son." Chen Shuxian smiled happily.

Si Qin, who was standing aside, couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard the conversation between the two.

In his opinion, his master's cultivation has already reached the peak of the ninth-level God Emperor. He is the god with the highest cultivation level in the entire heaven. How can an ordinary person of the eighth-level spiritual king be able to teach him?
However, Nangong Yueze has already agreed to Chen Shuxian, so as a subordinate, he naturally has nothing to say. "Ze'er." Chen Shuxian took a piece of pastry to Nangong Yueze and continued: "I heard that Master Qin is only over 40 years old and has already cultivated to become a spiritual king. After you become a master, you must do a good job Follow him and strive to enter Zixu Academy as soon as possible."

"Yes." Nangong Yueze nodded lightly. Although he didn't really want to go, this was arranged by Chen Shuxian a long time ago. He didn't want to make her sad, so he had to accept it.

"Then it's settled. You will go to Tianxin Academy in three days. As for your personal bodyguard Si Qin, let him go with you. He can take care of your daily life." Chen Shuxian ordered.

"Yes." Nangong Yueze responded again, with nothing strange on his expressionless face.

Chen Shuxian also seemed to be aware of his reluctance, but she pretended not to see it, and still smiled and asked: "Ze'er, your father has not established a queen for so many years, you have to give it to your mother and concubine. Be angry, I only have a son like you, and my whole future depends on you."

Nangong Yueze frowned and said nothing, just responded perfunctorily.

……

Tianxin College, back mountain.

Jiuge, who had been busy all morning, sat under a tree outside the training ground and ate the sesame cakes brought to her by Broom Touhou. Although the sesame cakes did not look good and were even a little brown and dry, Jiuge ate them with gusto.

Not long after, Jiuge vaguely heard a soft sound coming from behind her. She turned her head and saw a handsome man in flowing white clothes slowly walking towards her.

The man is about 26 or seven years old, with picturesque features and looks very handsome.

Jiu Ge stared at the man blankly for a long time. In the eight years since she came to Tianxin Academy, she had never seen such a good-looking man.

However, seeing the white robe on his body and the jade pendant hanging around his waist, she guessed that he was not from Tianxin Academy.

The man stopped in front of Jiuge, looked at her, and then asked: "Is the girl a disciple of Tianxin Academy?"

"I...I'm not..." Jiuge lowered his head and stammered.

Seeing her shy look, the man couldn't help but smile and said: "If you are not a disciple of Tianxin Academy, then why are you here?"

Hearing his inquiry, Jiu Ge became even more shy.

"I...I just..."

Before she could reply, a harsh voice suddenly rang out: "Teacher Qin, don't ask her, she is just a sweeper in our college!"

Jiu Ge looked around and saw a girl in a pink skirt walking towards them.

The girl looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pretty face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes flashing with deep disdain and contempt.

Jiu Ge recognized at a glance that this girl was an inner disciple of Tianxin Academy, named Su Xueqing. Because her father was Su Mingde, the Prime Minister of the Nebula Empire, and her mother was a famous weapon refiner on the Stardust Continent, so since she came in, She became a famous figure in Tianxin College.

"What, sweeping girl??" The man was startled and turned around to look at Jiu Ge again.

"She is a wild girl that our college picked up from outside. It is a disgrace to our college to leave this kind of trash here." Su Xueqing glanced at Jiuge and said sarcastically.

"The sweeping girl is also a human being, and she deserves the minimum respect!" Hearing Su Xueqing's words, the man replied lightly. Then, he looked at Jiuge, continued to smile and asked: "Girl, I am new to Tianxin College Teacher, my name is Qin Lang, I still don’t know your name?”

Jiuge became a little nervous when she heard the man's question. She had been in the academy for so long, and she had already become accustomed to the cold words and taunts from the inner disciples to her, but the man in front of her gave her a gentle and elegant feeling.

After hesitating for a moment, she whispered: "Qin...Hello, Teacher Qin, my name is Jiu Ge."

"Jiu Ge?" the man murmured, "This name is quite nice. I think you are about fourteen or fifteen years old. Why don't you enter the academy to practice?"

Hearing Qin Lang's words, Su Xueqing sneered again, "It's a joke. She is just a sweeping girl, but she also wants to practice. I'm afraid she won't be able to save enough for one year's tuition here."

"Don't look down on others!!" Jiuge couldn't help but reply, "You have been in the academy for more than three years, and I haven't seen how amazing your cultivation is!!"

"You!!" When Su Xueqing heard this, she immediately became angry, pointed at Jiuge's nose and cursed: "Wild girl, how dare you contradict me! Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth to pieces!"

"Did I say something wrong?" Jiuge looked at Su Xueqing without showing any signs of weakness, "The cultivation level of a cultivator is divided into fifteen levels from low to high, including Spiritual Scholar, Spiritual Master, Great Spiritual Master, and Spiritual Sect. Spirit Saint, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Lord, Divine Envoy, Lower God, Middle God, Upper God, God King, God Emperor, Supreme God, and you, you have been in the academy for three years, and you are still only a fifth-level spirit. Sir, if you don’t feel ashamed, I’m ashamed of you!”

"you!!!"

Su Xueqing was so choked that she couldn't speak. She was indeed just a junior spiritual warrior, and she had only cultivated to the fifth level. But after all, she was the prime minister's daughter, how could she be compared to a sweeping girl?
Thinking of this, Su Xueqing gritted her teeth and looked at Jiuge and said: "You are just a waste, why do you compare with me??"

"Hmph, even if I'm a loser, I'm still better than you!" Jiuge glared at Su Xueqing not to be outdone.

"Okay, okay!" Su Xueqing sneered again and again, "In that case, I will have a good fight with you today to let you know what the gap is!!"

After saying that, she pulled out a spiritual sword from her waist and stabbed Jiuge fiercely.
