Xiao Jing bowed respectfully to Su Chen, "Thank you, senior!"
The five Human Race Immortal Emperor quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, senior!"
Su Chen shook his head slightly, "Don't thank me. If you really want to thank me, then find more geniuses to send to the academy. Our academy is currently short of people."
Ling Xu couldn't help but ask, "Senior, did you just establish this academy?"
Su Chen glanced at him, "No."
Ling Xu asked, puzzled, "Then there shouldn't be a shortage of people, right?"
Su Chen calmly said, "Because I killed nearly 80% of the academy's disciples, the academy is currently short of people."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xu was completely dumbfounded.
Xiao Jing and the others also wore expressions of disbelief.
Did they kill nearly 80% of the academy's disciples?
Holy crap!
Are you a devil?
How could someone do this?
At this moment, a hint of worry appeared on their faces.
"Hehe."
Su Chen sneered, looking at them, "What? Scared?"
The group looked troubled, glancing at Xiao Jing out of the corner of their eyes.
Xiao Jing pondered for a few seconds, then said, "I believe there must have been a reason why you killed them, senior."
Su Chen said calmly, "They betrayed the academy."
He didn't explain much, only saying a few words, which revealed to Xiao Jing and the others the reason he killed the academy disciples.
Upon hearing this, the group instantly understood.
Qingluan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, senior, I misunderstood you just now."
Su Chen calmly said, "It doesn't matter. Just like I said, find more talented disciples and send them to the academy."
Xiao Jing and the others clasped their hands in greeting and said, "Understood!"
Su Chen left the square and returned to the courtyard where he used to live. At this moment, he was sitting under the pavilion, drinking wine.
Are you really going to leave them?
The system's voice suddenly sounded.
Su Chen downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, then said, "Hmm."
Are you really comfortable with them?
"The system asked."
Su Chen said calmly, "If I don't leave, they will rely on me forever."
The system remained silent for a moment.
When do you plan to leave?
Su Chen said, "Now is not the time. Let's leave after that crisis is over."
[It'll probably be soon, in a few decades.]
The system said.
Su Chen said, "Yes, that's why I'll protect them for the next few decades."
It seems you still don't trust them.
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "After all, he's my disciple, I have to take responsibility, don't I?"
Knock knock!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Su Chen glanced at the gate, then said, "Come in."
Creak~
The gate opened, and two stunningly beautiful women slowly entered the courtyard.
These two people were none other than Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Yue'er.
The two women went straight to the pavilion, their gazes falling on Su Chen, their eyes revealing complex emotions.
They seemed a little reserved at this moment, completely lacking the naturalness they had when they first met Su Chen.
This is normal, after all, standing in front of them is an existence above the Immortal Emperor. Anyone would feel restrained standing in front of such an existence.
Su Chen smiled slightly, "May I ask what business you two have with me?"
Xiao Yue'er hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Mm."
Xiao Yue'er asked nervously, "Can we come along?"
Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay."
After receiving the answer they wanted, a smile involuntarily appeared on the faces of the two women.
Su Chen smiled and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The two women shook their heads slightly.
Su Chen said, "Then I need to rest."
Xiao Yue'er's hands, which were behind her back, clenched into fists involuntarily, but she finally nodded and said, "Let's go now."
After saying that, she took Xiao Ziyan's hand and turned to leave. Once they had completely left the courtyard, Xiao Yue'er finally couldn't control her emotions, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Sigh~"
Xiao Ziyan sighed softly, her face full of heartache.
Xiao Yue'er sobbed, "He... he's really become so cold."
Xiao Ziyan reached out and ruffled Xiao Yue'er's hair. "We're from completely different worlds, so why bother?"
Xiao Yue'er said, "I've tried to forget him lately, but I've found that I simply can't."
Xiao Ziyan remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Since that's the case, then you should focus on your cultivation. When your strength is as great as his, you'll have a chance to be with him."
Xiao Yue'er looked at Xiao Ziyan with red eyes, "Is... is it really okay?"
Xiao Ziyan said, "Since you can't forget him, this is the only way now."
Xiao Yue'er remained silent, then clenched her fists tightly. "I understand! I will try to catch up with him."
Xiao Ziyan said with heartache, "But I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with him in the end, which will lead to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yue'er suddenly said, "This is my own choice. No matter what the final result is, at least I tried my best."
Xiao Ziyan opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say a word. She just gently stroked Xiao Yue'er's head.
In the courtyard.
[I could tell those two girls had feelings for you, but you treated them so coldly. Doesn't your conscience bother you?]
The system said.
Su Chen took a sip of his drink, then calmly said, "You don't know anything. They may be heartbroken now, but it's better than them being desperate later. I'm not a scumbag who likes to string others along."
[Heh, you're not a scumbag yourself? Who was it that ruined that young girl's reputation and then refused to take responsibility?]
The system sneered.
Su Chen's face darkened. "Who could tolerate that kind of situation?"
[Then how do you explain your unwillingness to take responsibility?]
The system said.
Su Chen said, "She came to me of her own accord, why should I take responsibility?"
[Haha, you slept with someone and didn't take responsibility, and now you won't let them find true love? You're such a scumbag.]
The system said.
Su Chen's lips twitched. "If you utter another word, believe me, I'll slap you."
You can't take this!
The system roared.
Su Chen said, "I just can't afford to play this game."
"You!"
The system was furious, but dared not say anything, mainly because Su Chen was indeed capable of dragging him out and beating him up.
Su Chen smiled slightly, "Alright, alright, I was just kidding."
The system remains silent.
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, saying nothing more, and continued drinking.
Are you really not going to take responsibility for that girl?
The system remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Sigh~"
Su Chen sighed softly, "Why are you so concerned about these things?"
[Just out of curiosity, nothing more.]
The system said.
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "I didn't expect a system like you to be so gossipy."
[None of your business!]
The system said.
Su Chen smiled.
This system is quite arrogant.
Sometimes he even wondered if the system was a person.
It doesn't resemble a system at all.
