An Old Ghost

Rose was facing Alex, who had no idea what she wants to talk about

"Can you close your eyes?"

"What? Why?"

Rose blushed "Trust me, I will not do any b-bad things..."

"It's just that the place we are going is a secret and I am not sure about telling you where we are going"

"Okay I will close my eyes but what do you mean by bad things?"

Rose was already red from head to toe....

She hastily hold his hands and pulled him deeper in the area

'His hand is so warm and big... Oh there are some bruises... Is this because of sword training....'

"rose why did we stopped walking?" Alex said with his eyes still closed

she let go of his hand hastily, she was blushing

'Since when did I became this clumsy and why is my heart beating like crazy'

"We have already arrived, you can open your eyes now"

Alex opened his eyes, facing him was a huge majestic statue of a middle aged man with a wheel behind his back

'That wheel is similar to my Celestial wheel but... There are also some things that are different'

Rose faced the statue and spoke

"Master I have brought him to meet you"

Just after she spoke thick white fog started engulfing the whole area and the statue was no longer visible as a strange white orb came into our vision

"So this is the young man that you told me about..."

A voice sounding like a old man came from the orb that was now shining with bright light

"Yes Master" rose replied to voice

"Master?"

"Let me introduce myself I am Wan Zemin, The founder of Imperial Academy"

"The founder?"

"I know what you are thinking, yes I founded the imperial academy to guide disciples in way of cultivation thousands of years ago, This me is just a part of my soul that I left behind for times of crises"

"This young girl found me while training and I asked her about current situation of academy and black pearl empire"

"why did you call him master though" Alex asked turning to her

"Master taught me many things while I was training here"

"it was nothing significant, I just provided some pointers to you" voice said

"But I am fairly interested in this young man you brought here, Answer me young man do you cultivate in Celestial wheel cultivation manual?"

"yes I do"

"Then show me how far you have reached"

Alex started concentrating and a wheel appeared behind him

"Not bad, seeing that very few people can grasp this technique you sure possess good comprehension ability"

"I just chose this technique to make up for my lack of talent"

"This technique can definitely help you to achieve that but don't you want to know more about this technique"

"more?"

"Things like who made this technique and how can a technique that can make up for talent exist"

Alex was stunned, even though he knew this technique was special he never thought about the origins of this technique, If someone can find a way to comprehend this technique, that person can overcome the talent given to him by nature or to speak directly this technique is "heaven defying"

After giving it some thought he spoke

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"I can, and I can even teach it to you"

"What?does that mean?"

"Yes, The Celestial wheel manual was created by me"

Alex took a deep breath, everything including the familiar statue was making sense now

"Teach me!"

The cultivation chamber was full of disciples as sounds of chatting could be heard

Amid these noise sound of footsteps was heard, everyone looked towards the figure entering

A handsome young man with two asura swords on his back entered the chamber and walked directly to one of the reserved rooms

Opening the door drake saw enchanting figure of a young woman who was meditating with her legs crossed

"You made me wait quite a long time"

"Did I?"

"Not everyone gets the chance to meet me"

Princess veronica changed her posture into a seducing one

"What do you want from me?"

"Why do you think I want something from you?"

"You didn't let me use your room for free?Right?"

"What if I tell you that I indeed want nothing from you and just wanted someone to company me"

"Then I am sorry to tell you that I don't trust your words"

She put her index finger on her lip before chuckling in a sweet voice
