In the early morning, mist swirls around the bamboo forest. A gentle breeze stirs the bamboo joints, causing the leaves to rustle softly. Dewdrops, glistening and translucent, fall from the tips of the bamboo leaves.
Su Chen stood in front of the bamboo house, took a deep breath, and the fragrance of bamboo filled the air, fresh and elegant, Human Heart, making people intoxicated by the tranquility of the bamboo forest in the early morning and forgetting the troubles of the world.
He has been busy with the academy's affairs lately and hasn't felt this relaxed in a long time.
"Well."
Su Chen sighed softly, "Why is being a dean so tiring? Judging by the time, my little brother should be born soon, right? Hmm... I should find some time to go back and visit."
He stopped thinking about it and looked into the distance. Lin Fan was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his whole body radiating light. Sword Qi swirled around him, the Sword Qi was red, and one could feel a strong killing intent.
Lin Fan opened his eyes, which flashed with a cold light. A terrifying aura permeated the air, causing the world to tremble. Red Sword Intent crisscrossed, dyeing the entire sky a vivid red.
Immortal Venerable Sixth Level Realm!
It had only been a short time since he broke through to the Immortal Venerable Fifth Stage, and he had already broken through to the next level. For ordinary people to break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm, it would take at least a hundred or a thousand years, and even for those top geniuses, it would take at least several decades.
It must be admitted that Lin Fan's cultivation talent is monstrous, far surpassing that of ordinary geniuses.
Lin Fan let out a long breath, a smile playing on his lips. He slowly rose, approached Su Chen, and respectfully bowed, "Master."
Su Chen nodded, quite pleased, and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, keep up the good work."
"Mmm!" Receiving praise from Su Chen made Lin Fan very happy, even more so than when he broke through to the next level. He had always wanted to prove himself to Su Chen and impress him, so he had been working hard in his cultivation without any slackening.
Because he knew that gaining Su Chen's approval was extremely difficult. What kind of existence was Su Chen? He was an existence even more terrifying than the Immortal Emperor. How could an ordinary person gain his approval? Even if Lin Fan was his disciple, it would be very difficult for him to gain approval.
Therefore, it was truly not easy for Lin Fan to receive praise from Su Chen; only he himself knew the hardships and difficulties he had endured.
Ta-da-ta-da...
Footsteps approached, and the two looked over to see a woman walking slowly towards them. She was tall and slender, with stunning beauty, delicate skin that seemed to drip with water, and a natural fragrance that could captivate anyone with just a whiff.
Su Chen remained calm. He recognized the woman; her Yafu, and she seemed to be the young lady of the Jiade Auction. She had recently passed the academy's disciple assessment and become a disciple.
Yafu stopped and bowed to Su Chen with a smile, "Dean."
Su Chen nodded calmly, "Is there something you need?"
Yafu looked dejected. She could sense a hint of indifference and estrangement from Su Chen, probably because of what had happened before.
With a soft sigh, Yafu composed herself and said in a low voice, "I came to apologize to you. Before..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Chen said, "I know that matter had nothing to do with you, so I've never blamed you, and you don't need to apologize."
Yafu opened her mouth, as if to say something, but after a long time, she couldn't utter a single word.
Su Chen said, "You joined the academy not just to apologize to me, right? If so, I'll allow you to leave and won't hold you accountable."
Yafu hurriedly said, "No... no, I really want to join the academy."
She looked slightly nervous. When she first came to the academy, she really only wanted to apologize to Su Chen, but then she heard that the academy was recruiting disciples.
The reputation of the Yingtian Academy has resounded throughout the entire Human Domain. No one is unaware of its prestige, simply because the High Antiquity Li Household was destroyed by the Yingtian Academy. The fact that such a powerful force was wiped out by the Yingtian Academy Yingtian Academy enough to demonstrate the immense terror it possesses.
The benefits of joining such a force would be unimaginable, and Yafu knew this well. Therefore, she decisively participated in the disciple assessment.
At such a young age, he has already broken through to the Immortal Sovereign. With such talent in cultivation, it would be difficult for him not to pass the disciple assessment.
She had wanted to come and see Su Chen for some time, but she hadn't had the chance because she was a new disciple and had a lot of things to do. Today she finally had some free time, so she took the opportunity to come.
On the way here, she was still very uneasy, afraid that Su Chen would not forgive her, but it seemed that she was overthinking it. Su Chen had never cared about that matter at all.
Su Chen said, "In that case, is there anything else?"
Yafu bit her red lips, a touch of sadness welling up inside her for some reason. Finally, she shook her head, turned, and left.
Su Chen did not stop her and watched Yafu leave.
Lin Fan glanced in the direction Yafu had left, then looked at Su Chen and blinked, "Master, just how many women have you been involved with outside?"
Bang!
Lin Fan screamed in pain as a large, red bump appeared on his forehead. Lin Fan grimaced in pain, tears welling in his eyes.
Su Chen laughed and scolded, "You brat, you've grown wings, haven't you? How dare you tease your master like that?"
Lin Fan covered his head, looking aggrieved, "No... no, I just..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen was already exasperated, which scared Lin Fan so much that he turned and ran away, afraid that if he was a step too slow, he would get punched again.
That punch really hurt; it felt like his skull was going to be shattered. He never wants to experience it again in his life.
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "That brat seems to have too much free time. I need to find him something to do."
He looked in one direction. "Come out."
A commotion arose, and a woman emerged, dressed in a black dress that perfectly accentuated her figure. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyebrows were slightly upturned, giving her a touch of allure.
Su Chen smiled faintly, "I don't quite understand why you, the Devil Master of the Devil Domain, would come to the Human Domain and even become an instructor at my academy."
The Devil Master, with her graceful figure, walked over step by step, finally stopping in front of Su Chen, and said directly, "Of course it's because of you."
Looking at the man before her, her expression was somewhat complicated. The man had previously ventured into the Devil Domain alone, like a god, suppressing the entire Devil Race. His domineering aura, looking down upon the world, was deeply imprinted in the Devil Master's mind.
Since then, whether she was dealing with matters of the Devil Domain or sitting quietly in the secluded chamber of the Devil Palace, the man's image would always intrude into her thoughts without warning.
She recalled the man's perfect face and his domineering figure during the battle; every detail kept replaying in her mind.
Finally, unable to bear her current state any longer, she set off from the Devil Domain to search for the man. She searched for a long time but still could not find him.
But she didn't give up and continued searching, eventually finding him. Her unwavering determination to find the man stemmed solely from her desire to see him one more time, the man who haunted her dreams.
