(During the time of Iris and Flav Mission 1)
In the principal's office...
A tall late twenty looking man was staring out his window in deep thought until the door opened. A woman with green hair tied in a neat bun walked in and handed Daemon some documents.
"Here are the reports of those students you asked. Their family background, age, cultivation or magic level and their history up to this point is all there sir." As she briefed Daemon, she tilted her glasses up, making her look more sophisticated.
"Thank you." Daemon wore his glasses and began to read the three folders with piles of paper inside them. While reading, he laughed, looked serious and even intrigued while reading.
After an hour of reading, he looked towards the woman and handed her the documents "Thank you, please store them on the fifth level."
The woman nodded and left with the documents in hand but with a slight surprised expression on her face.
When the door closed, Daemon sat up and approached his window "hm, what strange people have entered my academy. The missing daughter of a noble, a runaway and a man who's stated to be dead and failed the trials a few years ago. What an interesting bunch."
The door opened once again, the same woman walked in "Sir, we found where QI Yuan Jian is. Should we retrieve the boy?"
Daemon looked towards the woman 'Ah right, I did say I'd do something about that. Eh, I'm sure it's fine'
"Leave them alone." He said with a mischievous smile. 'That boy will wish he could die' He thought and looked out of his window.
.....
Inside a cave there was a man dangled upside down with vines, supported by a rock in the ceiling of the cave. Next to the dangled man was a handsome white robed man with pure silky white hair, sitting on a wooden chair and calmly drinking tea near a wooden table. He was completely unbothered by the unconscious Li, who was dangling next to him, and simply waited for his awakening until he'd get bored.
"Hmm, his soul is taking longer than expected to restore itself. Guess his unique healing is more physical than spiritual" Qi Yuan thought out loud.
"Mmmmm" After some time, Xuan Li drowsily opened his eyes with a groan.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"He screamed out when he felt an intense headache and his current predicament which completely awoke him.
"Ah, your finally awake!" Qi Yuan's figure became apparent to Li and seeing him talk so casually while sitting comfily aggravated Li more.
"YOU! let me down!" Li demanded, trying to wiggle out of his predicament.
Qi Yuan gasped, covering his mouth and gave an exaggerated sniffle "Such a rude guest. I invite you here and your treating my poor soul like this?"
"..."
"Is this what shamelessness is? I heard the younger generation have become more shameful in the years but I didn't expect it to be like this" Qi Yuan continued.
"..."
"I'd like an apology you shameless student. Is this the way to speak to your elders? Would you use that tone on your own mother!? Ah, what has this world come to!" Qi Yuan finally finished.
"..." Li was completely speechless by this person.' I'm the one being rude? I'm the one being shameless? YOUR THE ONE WHO KIDNAPPED ME AND MADE ME HANG UPSIDE DOWN!'
Li wanted to desperately shout his thoughts out but suppressed them.
"That's more like it." Qi Yuan smiled, making Li more annoyed.
Calming down, Li remembered the series of events that led up to this moment. 'I was walking with Flav and Iris but then he showed up and killed me...wait...he killed me! I felt it! I felt death! Why am I still alive...I definitely felt death'
"Who are you!? How am I alive?? You killed me!" Li began asking questions because even though he got injured severely before and recovered, he didn't feel death itself. Of course, at the time, he thought he was close to death but after his encounter with Qi Yuan, the previous attempts were nothing close to dying! He now knows what death feels like but doesn't know how Qi Yuan managed to when others failed.
"Wow, you really do want to die. I am Qi Yuan, a teacher in Ascension Academy, in fact I'm the greatest teacher here. You are alive because I had no intentions of killing you, simple." Qi Yuan shrugged his shoulders.
"Please! do that swoosh attack again and kill me! I'll do anything!" To Xuan Li, it was clear the person in front of him could genuinely kill him.
"Nope"
"Why!" Li wanted to cry.
"Well little one, you need to help me with my experiments." Qi Yuan gave a sadistic smile.
Li felt a shiver down his spine "I prefer women! please! I don't want a teacher-student relationship with a man! please, spare me!"
"..."
"There are much younger and handsome male students here! I'm an ugly person who wouldn't even feel nice to touch!"
"..."
"Please great sir! I'll do anything else! How about Flav! He is very handsome and a tier four cultivator on top of that! I'm sure he would gladly go all night with you! I'll even show you his room! I beg you, let me go!"
"..."
This time, Qi Yuan was speechless by Xuan Li's great misunderstanding.
Unlike him though, Xuan Li kept rambling on and on about not wanting to have relations that it began to annoy Qi Yaun.
He flicked his hand.
woooosh!
Once again, a force so sharp penetrated Li, "killing" him once again.
"Finally, some peace and quiet. I'll make sure to enjoy tort- I mean voluntarily experimenting his condition once he wakes up and hopefully calms down."
Once again, Qi Yuan sat on his chair and poured himself some more tea while waiting for Li to wake up again.
"I really should get the principle to have this Jasmine tea with me. It's so soothing and calming." Qi Yuan began to idle his mind.
