A year had already passed. The Orthodox Academy had not taken in any new students, but it had still been given new life. It was no longer that graveyard of the past. The inside of the academy was still cold and cheerless, but the outside had long since been placed under heavy guard. The priests of the Li Palace stood guard in Hundred Flowers Lane, not even leaving during the late night. It was simply impossible for any of the common folk to approach. However, when the priests saw that youth in the wheelchair, their eyes filled with vigilance and loathing, yet it was impossible for them to take action. The Tianhai clan possessed special status in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, they did not act because Tianhai Ya'er was already a cripple.
