Xue Ya hesitated for a moment, then said, "There's another problem. If you kill them all, there won't be many disciples left in the academy. What will you do then?"
Su Chen calmly said, "We'll recruit again. In the future, when recruiting disciples, we'll first observe their character, and then their talent. If their character is flawed, no matter how monstrous their talent, Yingtian Academy won't accept them."
Xue Ya pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Su Chen nodded, then looked down at one of the people below.
And this person was none other than the Wang Chu.
Su Chen did not kill those who had just participated in the disciple assessment.
Upon seeing Su Chen looking at him, the Wang Chu's face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes filled with endless fear.
His voice trembled as he called out, "Senior... senior."
Those around who witnessed this scene couldn't help but shake their heads.
Someone remarked, "This guy's really messed up."
One young man said, "Heh, serves him right. Who told him to be so arrogant and disrespectful, relying on his connections?"
Another person said, "He probably never dreamed that Lin Fan's master would actually be above the Immortal Emperor level."
One woman remarked, "That Wang Chu probably has quite a background."
Someone replied, "Not simple? So what if he's not simple? Does he have someone above the Immortal Emperor level behind him? Is that even possible?"
The woman was immediately rendered speechless.
A woman with a curvaceous figure gazed at Su Chen with eyes full of admiration, "Young Dean, you're so handsome!"
Another woman with delicate features said, "Yes, he's not only handsome, but also very strong. Does he really have no flaws at all?"
One woman remarked, "The only flaw is that it's too perfect."
A woman of unparalleled beauty said, "If only the young dean could be my dao companion."
The other women nodded, indicating they shared the same idea.
A young man then said, "Heh, stop dreaming. Haven't you heard before? Youyue is the Young Master's fiancé, so it's not your turn."
Upon hearing this, the women's faces instantly froze.
A woman said resentfully, "Why am I not Senior Sister Youyue? Sigh."
The stunningly beautiful woman said, "I really envy Youyue. She has such a perfect fiancé. It's so enviable."
Feeling the envious and jealous gazes around her, Youyue felt terrible, her face filled with embarrassment.
Lin Fan exclaimed in shock, "I never imagined you were Master's fiancée! Wow!"
Youyue said awkwardly, "This was arranged for me by my master."
Lin Fan asked curiously, "Your master?"
Youyue said, "She is Young Master Su Chen's mother."
Lin Fan suddenly realized, then a smile appeared on his face, "Master is such a kind person, you're going to be very lucky."
Youyue glanced at Su Chen in the air, then said, "I didn't see that coming."
Lin Fan smiled. "Like I said, once you spend more time with Master, you'll understand just how wonderful he truly is."
Youyue forced a smile. "I hope so."
Then, she asked curiously, "How much do you know about your master?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "My master is very mysterious, and I don't know much about him."
Youyue asked, "Do you know how old your master is?"
She stared intently at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, then said, "He should be no more than two hundred years old."
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, Youyue's eyes widened in disbelief, almost popping out of their sockets. "Are you kidding me? Not even two hundred years old? Above the Immortal Emperor? That can't be true!"
Lin Fan said helplessly, "Why would I lie to you? Although it's a bit far-fetched, it's really true! I'm not lying to you."
Seeing Lin Fan's serious expression, Youyue fell silent.
Lin Fan probably didn't lie to her.
But to be above the level of Immortal Emperor who is not even two hundred years old is truly hard to believe!
You should know that she reached the Peak Ninth Level Immortal Venerable before she was even a thousand years old, which already made her a prodigy among prodigies.
What about Su Chen?
What does that count for?
That's outrageous!
However, she thought again that Su Chen couldn't be judged like a normal person. If he could break through that realm, what was so surprising about him breaking through at less than two hundred years old?
Youyue found an excuse to calm herself down, otherwise she really would have broken down.
That's absolutely hurtful.
To break through that realm at less than two hundred years old—is that even humanly possible?
She originally thought she was the pinnacle of her generation, but it wasn't until she met Su Chen that she realized she was just a frog in a well.
Lin Fan looked at Su Chen with admiration and muttered to himself, "One day, I will be able to become someone like Su Chen."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Youyue's eyes, "You're chasing after your master?"
Lin Fan looked at her, nodded, and smiled, "Yes!"
Youyue asked, "Why?"
To Youyue, Lin Fan's idea was simply too naive.
Chasing after Su Chen?
Is it possible to catch up with someone who can break through to that realm before even reaching two hundred years old?
If they can't catch up in the end, their Dao Heart will collapse and they'll have to behave themselves.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Why? I just want to walk alongside my master, not just watch his back forever. That's all."
Youyue nodded, her face showing admiration, "You have such a good attitude."
Lin Fan smiled wryly, "I was also discouraged by my master in the past, but after many setbacks, I've become accustomed to it. Now, I just want to cultivate diligently and strive to catch up with my master as soon as possible."
Youyue nodded and said, "Good luck!"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Thank you."
Youyue didn't say anything more, but looked up at Su Chen, her heart heavy and complicated.
She's starting to doubt whether she's even worthy of being Su Chen's fiancée.
This was the first time she had ever felt unworthy of someone.
A sense of helplessness welled up inside me.
In the air, Su Chen calmly looked at the Wang Chu, who was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. His eyes were indifferent, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
But the more this happened, the more frightened the Wang Chu became. He was tense and trembling, his fear of Su Chen reaching its peak.
I can't help but be scared!
He was facing someone above the Immortal Emperor level!
How can I not be scared?
He really wanted to slap himself now, regretting that he had provoked Lin Fan in the first place.
If I hadn't provoked Lin Fan, how could I have been targeted by Su Chen?
He vowed that if he could turn back time, he would definitely live a low-key life and never be arrogant.
But how can time be turned back?
He could only pray that Su Chen wouldn't hold it against him, otherwise he would really be dead.
Su Chen then withdrew his gaze, finally fixing it on Lin Fan. "What do you plan to do with him?"
Upon hearing this, the Wang Chu immediately turned around and kowtowed to Lin Fan, weeping bitterly, "Brother Lin, I was wrong. I shouldn't have provoked you. Please spare my life! I promise you, I will never provoke you again, and I will avoid you whenever I see you."
Hearing the Wang Chu's pleas for mercy, Lin Fan's face remained expressionless, even showing coldness.
