Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, unfazed by the woman's murderous gaze.
A hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes. Normally, an ordinary person would be terrified to see her in this state, but Su Chen was not; in fact, he was quite calm.
Such composure suggests either immense power or an extraordinary background; the woman chose the latter.
How strong can Su Chen be at such a young age?
Background?
The woman pondered briefly, then forcibly suppressed her anger and looked at Murong Jingyi, "Do I need to ask?"
Murong Jingyi lowered her head, not daring to meet the woman's gaze. She was still very afraid of her master, after all, the woman was not only her master, but also the Valley Master of Immortal Spirit Valley, Gong Yuluo!
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Murong Jingyi recounted the entire incident, emphasizing several times that she was the one who brought Su Chen into the main hall, and that Su Chen had nothing to do with it.
Gong Yuluo looked at Murong Jingyi and said calmly, "You're quite protective of him, aren't you?"
Murong Jingyi blushed but did not respond.
Gong Yuluo then looked at Su Chen, sized him up for a moment, and said, "You really came to my Immortal Spirit Valley to ask for medicine?"
She didn't mention what had just happened, clearly indicating that she had already forgiven Su Chen and the other person.
Murong Jingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief; she had been terrified.
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "No."
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Jingyi was completely stunned. "You... you didn't come here to ask for medicine?"
Gong Yuluo at Su Chen, her eyes narrowed, a glint of shrewdness in them.
Su Chen smiled and said, "I've heard that the Valley Master of Immortal Spirit Valley is extremely skilled in alchemy, and now that I see it, it's truly true."
Gong Yuluo calmly replied, "You've never seen me refine pills, so how would you know how skilled I am?"
Su Chen said, "With such a beautiful young lady, her alchemy skills must be excellent."
Murong Jingyi held her head in her hands, feeling a headache coming on. If she had known Su Chen was like this, she wouldn't have brought him to see Gong Yuluo.
"Hehe."
Gong Yuluo sneered, "You smooth talker, tell me, what do you want?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "Since you've asked, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here to invite Valley Master Gong to serve as the Alchemy Institute at the Yingtian Academy."
Yingtian Academy?
Gong Yuluo frowned. Judging from her expression, she seemed to know about the Yingtian Academy. This was normal, given that Yingtian Academy had a considerable influence throughout the Human Domain.
Murong Jingyi exclaimed in shock, "You're from the Yingtian Academy?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Mm."
Gong Yuluo asked, "What is your status in the academy?"
Su Chen calmly replied, "Dean."
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Jingyi's eyes widened in disbelief.
Gong Yuluo narrowed her eyes. "You said you're the Dean of the Yingtian Academy?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "What? Is there a problem?"
Gong Yuluo, "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
Su Chen said helplessly, "What did I lie to you about?"
Gong Yuluo, "As far as I know, the headmaster of the academy has always been a woman named Qin An. Don't you find it ridiculous that you claim to be the headmaster?"
By the end, her tone had turned cold, because what she hated most was deception.
What kind of power does Yingtian Academy possess?
That's one of the strongest forces in the Human Domain!
So why is Su Chen the Dean of the Yingtian Academy?
She simply didn't believe it.
Su Chen said calmly, "That's my mother."
"Um?"
Gong Yuluo aback, then asked, "Are you sure?"
Su Chen asked, "Should I contact her?"
Seeing that Su Chen didn't seem to be joking, Gong Yuluo silent. At this moment, countless waves were surging in her heart.
Could it be that he really Yingtian Academy?
After a brief silence, Gong Yuluo spoke up, "Then why did you say you were the Dean of the Yingtian Academy at the beginning?"
Su Chen said, "Because my mother is pregnant and it's not advisable for her to handle affairs, I've temporarily taken over the management of the Yingtian Academy."
Gong Yuluo frowned.
Yingtian Academy pregnant?
This is truly explosive news.
It should be noted that Qin An's reputation is very high throughout the Human Domain, after all, she is a powerful Immortal Emperor with terrifying strength.
However, the fact that such a powerful woman is pregnant would shock the entire Human Domain if word got out.
At this moment, Gong Yuluo believed what Su Chen said, no wonder she believed what others said so easily.
The main point is that no one in this world dares to lie using the name of a Immortal Emperor, especially since that Immortal Emperor is also the Dean of the Yingtian Academy.
If Su Chen is truly lying, the Dean of the Yingtian Academy will personally deal with him without her intervention.
Gong Yuluo silent for a long time before finally saying, "I remember Yingtian Academy has Alchemy Institute, right?"
Su Chen said, "I killed him."
"By you?" Gong Yuluo was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
Su Chen nodded calmly and said, "Mm."
Gong Yuluo a deep voice, "Are you kidding me? Every vice dean of the Yingtian Academy has the strength of Immortal Emperor. How could you possibly kill him?"
Su Chen said calmly, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Gong Yuluo frowned.
Could it be that this kid really killed the Alchemy Institute?
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she shook her head in rejection.
impossible!
That's Immortal Emperor!
He can't possibly kill him!
It must have been his mother who did it, right?
Yes, that must be it.
Su Chen then asked, "What has Valley Master Gong decided?"
Gong Yuluo out of her daze and shook her head without hesitation, saying, "I'm sorry, I can't serve as the Yingtian Academy. You'll have to find someone else."
Su Chen nodded calmly. "Farewell."
He turned and left without hesitation.
As mentioned before, Su Chen would never ask anyone for favors, so since Gong Yuluo refused, it was her loss.
She'll regret this decision sooner or later.
Gong Yuluo watched Su Chen's retreating figure, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Su Chen's decisiveness was somewhat unexpected.
Murong Jingyi looked conflicted; she wanted to chase after them, but she didn't dare.
Gong Yuluo looked at her and said, "You should escort him out of the valley to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
Murong Jingyi's face lit up with joy, "Yes, ma'am!"
She quickly chased after Su Chen in the direction he had left.
Gong Yuluo slightly, "This girl."
Murong Jingyi jogged all the way and finally caught up with Su Chen. She was panting and covered in sweat. "You... you need to slow down!"
Su Chen paused, looked at her, and smiled, "Why did you chase after me?"
Murong Jingyi said, "I... I was worried that you might get into trouble traveling alone in Immortal Spirit Valley."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Then I should thank you?"
Murong Jingyi chuckled, then sighed softly, "If I had known this was your purpose, I wouldn't have brought you to see Master."
