Qinghe, Lan Xin, and Nine-tailed had crossed paths at the Training Institute. Qinghe was a few years older than Lan Xin and Nine-tailed and had left several years before them. Unfortunately, though Qinghe's Spiritual Power Level and Potential Value were both high, the master who took him in was unable to soothe him and instead abused him. This caused Qinghe's spiritual power to rampage, and he accidentally killed that Controller.
Qinghe was originally slated for execution. However, much like Di Youlin, his origins were extraordinary. With the Elder Council's intervention, he was sent to the Star Sky Chaos Domain. His death sentence would be commuted if he could survive and achieve military honors.
He must have had some luck on his side, as he actually managed to survive the Star Sky Chaos Domain.
Aside from Qinghe, Ning Xuan had rejected all the other candidates that the major families and various powers had tried to force onto her team.
