Su Chen left the Mystic Hall and returned to the Yingtian Academy. Instead of loitering around outside, he found Xue Ya.
Xue Ya looked surprised. "You actually came back on time."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's face darkened. "What kind of person do you take me for?"
Xue Ya smiled faintly, her figure captivating, her beauty ethereal and otherworldly. "I was just joking, don't mind it."
Su Chen's lips twitched, but he didn't dwell on it and immediately said, "Do me a favor."
Xue Ya was stunned, and asked in confusion, "You're so capable, is there anything you need my help with?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "Of course."
Xue Ya stared at him without saying a word, sensing that this guy was up to no good.
Su Chen's lips twitched. "Could you please stop looking at me like that?"
Xue Ya turned her head slightly. "Tell me, what is it?"
Su Chen didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I hope you will be in charge of the academy from now on."
Xue Ya immediately replied, "Dream on!"
Su Chen took out a spatial ring and handed it to Xue Ya, saying, "Take a look before you decide."
Xue Ya frowned and did not accept the spatial ring. "Even if you offer me something better, I won't agree."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Take a look inside the spatial ring first."
Xue Ya hesitated for a moment, then probed her spatial ring with her Divine Sense. A moment later, she snatched the spatial ring from Su Chen's hand with great speed, her expression excited.
Su Chen smiled and said, "You agreed?"
Xue Ya exclaimed in shock, "How do you have these things? These things only exist in legends!"
Su Chen said, "Guess."
Xue Ya's expression stiffened, she rolled her eyes, and then said, "Fine, for the sake of these things, I'll agree to help you manage the academy. But I have to make it clear, if you don't manage it well later, don't blame me."
Su Chen smiled and said, "I believe in your abilities."
Xue Ya snorted softly, a smile spreading across her face. She was very happy because the spatial ring Su Chen had given her contained many Cultivation Resources. With these things, she was confident that she would be able to break through to the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm soon!
Suppressing her emotions, Xue Ya asked curiously, "If I'm managing the academy, what are you planning to do?"
Su Chen said, "I'm not going to do anything."
Xue Ya said speechlessly, "Then you're really lazy."
"Thank you for the compliment." Although Su Chen's face was exquisitely handsome, he was exceptionally thick-skinned and took the other person's comment about being lazy as a compliment.
Xue Ya was speechless; she was utterly exasperated by Su Chen.
"I'm leaving the academy to you. I'm leaving." Su Chen turned and left, his white robe fluttering, perfectly showcasing his slender figure.
He was so handsome, almost unrealistically so; no man in the world could compare to him.
As the sun rises, a thin mist hangs over the bamboo forest, veiling it in a dreamlike haze. The first rays of golden sunlight fall upon the bamboo, making the emerald leaves shimmer and glow.
As soon as Su Chen opened the bamboo door, he saw a person standing quietly outside. She was tall and slender, yet exuded an indescribable aloofness. Her face was as white as snow, and her skin was like mutton fat.
This person is none other than the Devil Master, whose name is Mei Xi. During this time, she has been staying at the academy. At first, she was not used to life here, but as time went by, she gradually got used to it and got along very well with the people in the academy.
Su Chen was taken aback, and couldn't help but recall the scene of being forcibly kissed before.
Mei Xi naturally knew what Su Chen was thinking. A slight Hong Yun to her face, making her beautiful and charming, like a red rose, captivating all who beheld her.
Su Chen snapped out of his daze and asked, "What do you need me for?"
Mei Xi said, "I'm going back."
Su Chen raised an eyebrow, " Devil Race?"
Mei Xi nodded and said, "Yes, I've been out for too long."
Su Chen said, "You are now a tutor at my academy, how can you just leave like that?"
Mei Xi remained silent for a long time.
The reason she participated in the mentor assessment was that she wanted to test Su Chen's strength herself. The result did not disappoint her; he was terrifyingly strong and she was no match for him at all. This made her forget her own identity.
Su Chen continued, "I really don't understand, what are you, a Devil Master of the Devil Domain, doing here? Is it really because of me?"
Mei Xi nodded and said, "Mm."
Su Chen felt helpless. "What exactly do you see in me? I'll change, okay?"
Mei Xi said, "Powerful."
Su Chen's expression stiffened for a moment, then he sighed, "Then this really can't be changed."
Mei Xi looked at him without saying a word.
Su Chen said, "Then let me ask you, what if one day someone stronger than me appears?"
Without much thought, Mei Xi said, "Then I'll choose you."
Su Chen asked, "Why?"
Mei Xi said, "Because you're good-looking."
Su Chen sighed, somewhat amused and exasperated. Was the Demon Devil Master, a man of such high status, also a sucker for good looks?
"Once I've chosen someone, I won't choose a second. Even if that person is stronger or more beautiful than you, I will still only be your woman." Mei Xi's stunningly beautiful face was filled with seriousness, her figure curvaceous and almost too perfect.
Su Chen was speechless for a moment. This guy seemed to be serious.
Mei Xi said, "I want a ceasefire."
Su Chen was taken aback. "Because of me?"
Mei Xi nodded and said, "Mm."
Su Chen shook his head and said, "No."
Mei Xi's two delicate, ink-painted eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with confusion. She didn't understand why Su Chen would disagree with a ceasefire; logically, a ceasefire should be a good thing.
What she didn't know was that Su Chen wanted to use the war between humans and demons to train Lin Fan and Jianxin. Only in this environment could the two of them grow quickly. After all, they were the ones who needed to resolve that great calamity. If their growth was too slow, destruction would await the Immortal Realm. Therefore, Lin Fan and Jianxin had to grow up quickly.
Su Chen said, "I allow you to go back, but the war between humans and demons cannot stop."
Mei Xi remained silent for a long time, feeling very disappointed. In the end, she said nothing and turned to leave. She thought that Su Chen didn't want to be with her, which was why he didn't want to stop the war.
Su Chen did not try to stop her, and calmly watched her leave.
"It's dangerous for this girl to go back to the Devil Domain. Are you sure you want to let her go?"
The system's voice suddenly sounded.
Su Chen frowned, made a quick calculation with his fingers, and then disappeared from the spot, blocking Mei Xi's path.
He stared at Mei Xi, completely stunned, because Mei Xi's face was already soaked with tears, which flowed freely like pearls from a broken string.
Su Chen was stunned. Seriously? She cried already? He began to doubt whether Mei Xi was truly the Devil Master; how could Devil Master cry so easily?
Mei Xi wiped away her tears and calmly asked, "Is something wrong?"
The voice was a bit cold.
Su Chen was utterly embarrassed and, for a moment, didn't know what to say.
Mei Xi said expressionlessly, "If there's nothing else, please step aside."
