"Well."
Su Chen sighed helplessly, resigned to his fate, and said, "I understand."
Xue Ya smiled slightly, "In that case, I'll go and prepare for recruiting disciples."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
Then, as if remembering something, he quickly added, "Wait a minute."
Xue Ya and Youyue, who were about to leave, paused and looked at Su Chen with puzzled expressions.
Su Chen said, "I have a formation here that can detect Human Heart. Go and have someone set it up. When we recruit disciples, use this formation to test them and see what their purpose is in coming to the academy."
After saying that, he flicked two fingers, and a streak of light flew out like a shooting star, accurately piercing between Xue Ya's eyebrows.
Xue Ya suddenly felt that she had gained some new memories. It was a formation called " Human Heart ".
This array can detect the deepest thoughts in a person's heart; anyone with ill intentions can be detected in its presence.
Xue Ya was slightly taken aback, then frowned. "This formation is so unfamiliar; I've never heard of it before."
Su Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
Xue Ya glanced at Su Chen, her eyes filled with curiosity.
To be honest, she really felt that Su Chen was very mysterious and unpredictable, and the more so, the more she wanted to understand him.
But she knew Su Chen wouldn't tell her.
Xue Ya shook her head, no longer thinking about it, and then said, "This formation is good, and not too difficult. I'll arrange for someone to set it up in a bit."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, by the way, when recruiting disciples, don't recruit any more cowards. Make the assessments a bit more brutal."
Xue Ya smiled calmly, "I know."
After that, Xue Ya took Youyue and left the bamboo forest.
On the way, Youyue asked curiously, "Senior Sister Xue, how do you think Master could have given birth to someone like Young Master Su Chen?"
Xue Ya smiled wryly and said, "You silly girl, what kind of questions are you asking?"
Youyue said, "I find it outrageous. Young Master Su Chen is clearly not that old, yet his strength is so great. It's really too discouraging."
Xue Ya shook her head and smiled, "That's quite a blow. I doubt even Master knew his son was so capable."
Youyue sighed, "Alas, I feel like I'm not good enough for him."
Xue Ya said, "Silly girl, what are you thinking? As long as he likes you, that's enough. Don't worry about anything else."
Youyue said helplessly, "I can't help it, I feel inferior."
Xue Ya comforted her, "Your talent for cultivation is rare even in the entire Immortal Realm. If even you are not good enough for him, then no one in this world is."
Youyue's eyes darted around, and she said with a grin, "Of course there are! There's also you, Senior Sister!"
Hearing this, Xue Ya Hong Yun and pretended to be angry, saying, "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting now? Do you believe I'll beat you up?"
"Hmph!"
Youyue snorted twice, then said, "I don't believe Senior Sister would be willing to beat me up."
Xue Ya looked helpless; she truly had no way to deal with her junior sister.
Youyue said, "Senior sister, I'm telling you the truth, you are completely worthy of Young Master Su Chen."
Xue Ya rolled her eyes. "I've lived for hundreds of thousands of years, how could I be worthy of him?"
Youyue said, "That's the key point. Senior Sister, you broke through to the Late-stage Immortal Emperor in just a few hundred thousand years. How many people in the history of the Immortal Realm can achieve such talent in cultivation?"
Xue Ya said helplessly, "Alright, alright, stop talking."
Youyue reached out and took Xue Ya's arm, laughing, "What's wrong? I really think Senior Sister and Young Master Su Chen are quite a good match."
Xue Ya reached out and flicked Youyue's forehead. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
Youyue rubbed her temples. "Fine, I won't say anything then, but why did you flick my forehead? It hurts!"
Xue Ya said, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Youyue stuck out her tongue, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Xue Ya asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Youyue then told her about being betrayed by her best friend.
Xue Ya's face also turned cold. "She didn't die at Xiao Chen's place?"
Youyue said, "She wasn't at the academy at the time."
Xue Ya said, "Then when she comes back, I'll go with you to settle the score with her."
Youyue was deeply moved. "Yes! Senior sister is so kind!"
Lying in the rocking chair, Su Chen had a headache. "Sigh, where am I supposed to find the vice dean?"
Lin Fan then said, "Master, this senior in my sea of consciousness has something to say."
Su Chen glanced at Lin Fan, "Let her speak."
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of light shot out from between Lin Fan's brows, and then slowly condensed into a human figure.
And this figure was none other than Liu Mengli.
Liu Mengli clasped her hands in a respectful greeting to Su Chen, "Senior."
Su Chen looked at her and said calmly, "What is it?"
Liu Mengli hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard you were looking for the vice dean of the academy."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Hmm, and then?"
Liu Mengli asked, "May I?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen raised an eyebrow, then his eyes lit up, "Okay!"
Liu Mengli smiled slightly, "That's good."
Su Chen then asked, "What aspect of cultivation do you know most about?"
Liu Mengli thought for a moment, then said, " The Dao of Alchemy."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Then you'll be the Vice Dean of the Dao of Alchemy from now on, is that alright?"
Liu Mengli said, "No problem, it's just..."
At this point, she hesitated, as if she wanted to say something more.
Su Chen asked, "Are you worried that leaving Lin Fan's sea of consciousness for too long will cause problems?"
Liu Mengli nodded and said, "Yes!"
Su Chen said, "You solved a headache for me, so naturally I won't let that happen again."
As he spoke, he pointed a finger at Liu Mengli's brow.
Liu Mengli did not resist, letting Su Chen place his finger between her eyebrows. She knew that Su Chen would not harm her, and even if he wanted to, he wouldn't need to go to such lengths; a mere thought would suffice.
This is no exaggeration at all; she knows Su Chen's strength all too well, and Su Chen is perfectly capable of doing it.
In her mind, Su Chen was the strongest being, and even her eldest sister was like an ant in front of him.
Su Chen then withdrew his finger.
A hint of doubt flashed in Liu Mengli's eyes, because she hadn't sensed anything.
Su Chen said calmly, "I left a trace of my power within you. This trace of power will continuously provide you with Immortal Qi, so you don't need to worry about it dissipating due to insufficient Immortal Qi in the future."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mengli examined her body and, sure enough, she discovered a mysterious power within her sea of consciousness.
This power was terrifying, completely beyond her comprehension.
Even so, she did not sense any hostility from this power.
This relieved her, and at the same time, it gave her a new perspective on Su Chen's strength.
If even a mere wisp of power is so terrifying, just how strong is he?!
Liu Mengli didn't even dare to think about it!
Su Chen then said, "This wisp of power can not only provide you with energy, but it can also save your life in a critical moment."
Liu Mengli bowed to Su Chen and said, "Thank you."
Su Chen shook his head. "You helped me out; it's nothing, no need to thank me."
Liu Mengli smiled slightly, "Okay."
Su Chen looked at Lin Fan, "Take her to Vice Dean Xue and ask her to help make arrangements."
