Tao Xue headed out of the room, towards the grand and huge hallway, in which all the students were chatting and hanging out with their friends. After all, it was the first day of this season of the academy, and the students couldn't help but get all excited over this. Tao Xue, Ling Shen, and Ju Yuan all walked out of the grand hallway, towards the way out, ech of them heading towards their respective houses.

Tao Xue said, in a bored expression, "Man, the first day was over, but we didn't actually get to do anything ourselves. It would be a bit better at home, though. Coming to the topic, which type of Cultivation will you choose in the form that you have got. Tell me quickly!"

Ju Yuan was a bit proud, as he said with a smirk on his face, "All of the famous Cultivators from my family are Body Cultivators, so how could I, the genius prodigy of the Yuan family, not accept the chance to to take Body Cultivation. That way, I'll bring even more glory to our previously glorious family."

To this, Ling Shen, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up in a very loud voice, "Hey, that's my line! All that you said is what I had to say, other than the fact that the majority of Cultivators in my family are of the Soul type. First of all, get this straight, I'm the prodigy, not you!"

The both of them had started quarreling already, even though they had just stepped out of the Academy. If this kept on going on, one day, the two of them would surely kill each other, or at the very least, fight till one of them is, or even both of them are severely injured. Tao Xue had no other choice than to interrupt the little argument, which could soon turn into a major blowout, which would be seen bya all of the people nearby, as at least half of them had already started watching the argument.

Tao Xue said, "Oh no, stop it already! Why the hell are you arguing on the streets while everyone can see us. If someone tells the academy about what you were doing, you would get a good beating, other than shaming the 4 Seasons Academy in such a manner. The 4 Seasons Academy is a very large academy, and it has established itself like a sect, and soon it will also become one, so you could surely be punished if you did something like this. By the way, my family is pretty different compared to both of yours. There have been a couple of Mind Cultivators also, not to mention whole groups of Soul and Body Cultivators. There's a variety in my family, unlike yours."

"I've already seen Soul and Body Cultivators practice, as a member of the main family, and the grandson of the Finances Elder!" said Tao Xue, who couldn't help but leak a sly smirk from his mouth.

He had seen both Body, and Soul types, but he had never seen Mind Cultivators before, well, he hadn't seen the Mind Cultivators doing anything related to Cultivation, so that was a surprise for him.

After walking for a while, Ju Yuan's house had arrived. He said his goodbyes to Tao Xue and Ling Shen, and then walked off inside his house. After a bit more time, Ling Shen's house had also come, which left only Tao Xue, who still had to walk a bit more.

He stopped at a resting area, and bought some noodles, because he was quite hungry, and soon headed off towards his house. He walked for a while more, until he had finally reached his destination.

In front of him, there was a huge building complex, with a grand gate, which had the sign, "Xue" on it. He approached the gates, and pushed them open. The guards at the gates greeted him respectfully.

One of them asked, "Young master Tao, the Patriarch has called a meeting, at the evening, in which all of the young masters of the family have to gather, so please come."

"Yes, I will!" Tao Xue replied.

He had not seen the Patriarch of the family for a long time, and he wanted to ask some questions, so he actually looked forward to this meeting. He was one of the few members of the Xue family, who have been a part of the 4 Seasons Academy, and had considerably good talent, as he was witty, and his background was very good, as well. The last time he clearly remembered meeting the Patriarch was at a time which was about quite a few years back, and that too, was because of some gathering that was important, and he had come with his grandpa, the Finances Elder of the family, but this time was very different compared to back then.

Previously, he had been to the gathering as the grandson of the Finances Elder, but this time, he was specially summoned. He was one of the prominent members of the family, because he was one of the younger generation direct descendants of the main family, who had an equal chance at obtaining the position of Patriarch, and that's why he was respected.

After entering the complex, he walked towards a tall building, in which there were about three floors, and entered his room. His room was pretty nice, and large. He had a nice room, but it was totally disorganized, and that's what was bothering his parents the most. They didn't like dirty rooms, but Tao Xue himself was fine with it being that way. His parents weren't at home, as they were at their respective jobs. His mother was a very prominent member in the Medical division, and his father was the same in the Artifacts division. His grandfather was the Finances Elder, and his grandmother was the head of the Alchemy division, which was a post almost at the same position as that of an elder.

Tao Xue took out the form that he had been given, and filled it up. He had chosen Mind Cultivation, which was pretty obvious of him, considering what kind of a person he was. As for the raeson, he wrote the exact same reason that he had in his mind. He had no intentions of changing the reason to something fancy, just so that he wouldn't be called a lazy brat. According to him, his intentions of writing the reason in the form were totally correct, but that wouldn't be true for most of the average people.

After he had finished up on the personal details, there was a loud knock on the door, followed by another one, almost immediately afterwards, which was equally loud.

*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!*

"Come in!" said Tao Xue calmly.

Even though he was calm on the outside, he was a bit confused on the inside. He didn't know who had come at this time, and that to, to his room.

He thought to himself, "Who could this person be?"
