"So you're Xuan Chuan?"
"No, Xuan Chen."
"Ah yes, Xuan Chen," the head staff of the dual academy corrected himself. Xuan was brought here by Yun Xi for his registration.
She had done all she could so Xuan would stay in her class, but the old man, who was the head staff, was against it.
"You're very lucky, boy Xuan Chen. A few days ago, a man from a prestigious sect, Fang Yuan, dropped a letter that said you should be expelled, but just yesterday he sent a message saying otherwise," the old man sighed.
He dismissed Yun Xi because classes had begun, and he wouldn't want to hold her with them. So, while she left for her class, he told Xuan to walk with him.
"I heard from a friend you're skilled in alchemy, is that true?" he asked.
Xuan guessed it was the physician he had seen in the emperor's bedroom. Xuan didn't reply to the old man.
"You know, in the war against the demon sect, we need all the alchemists we can get."
