Su Chen stayed in the Mystic Hall for a few days before leaving and returning to the Yingtian Academy, where he found Xue Ya busy at work.
"What? You want me to be the headmaster of the academy?" Xue Ya asked, her eyes wide.
"Is that not allowed?" Su Chen said with a smile.
"Are you crazy?" Xue Ya stared at Su Chen and said.
"No, this is something I've thought about seriously. I think you're the most suitable person to be the dean of the academy. After all, you know better than I do how to manage Yingtian Academy now," Su Chen said.
"I'm fine with managing the academy, but I can't be the dean," Xue Ya said, shaking her head.
"Why?" Su Chen asked, frowning.
"Because I am not qualified to lead Yingtian Academy to a better future," Xue Ya said earnestly.
"I think you're qualified," Su Chen said with a smile.
"Don't joke around. I can see that Yingtian Academy will reach unimaginable heights in the future, and I am certainly not qualified to lead Yingtian Academy to that point," Xue Ya said.
Su Chen was silent for a moment, then asked, "So who do you think is suitable?"
"Are you really planning to step down?" Xue Ya asked, frowning.
"Yes, being the dean isn't right for me. I prefer freedom," Su Chen nodded and said.
"In that case..." Xue Ya fell into deep thought, then thought of a suitable candidate and said, "Then let's have Lin Fan. I think Lin Fan is suitable to be the dean."
" Lin Fan?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Lin Fan is your disciple, and he'll be quite something in the future. He's the most suitable person for the academy's dean," Xue Ya said.
"Okay, I'll go ask him." Su Chen nodded, said goodbye to Xue Ya, and turned to leave.
Lin Fan's cultivation had reached a bottleneck, so he had been attending classes at the academy, listening to the lectures of the vice deans and mentors, which had greatly benefited him and improved his State of Mind.
Today, Lin Fan had just finished listening to Shen Li's lesson and was preparing to go back to cultivate when Su Chen suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lin Fan was taken aback, then quickly bowed and respectfully said, "Master!"
"Hmm." Su Chen nodded, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Lin Fan, and said directly, "From today onwards, you are the Dean of the Yingtian Academy!"
"Huh?" Lin Fan was completely bewildered and confused. What was going on? Why was he suddenly made the dean of the academy? What did I do to deserve this?
"I have more important things to do as your teacher. I believe that you will definitely lead Yingtian Academy Yingtian Academy a better future and enable it to stand at the pinnacle of the God Realm," Su Chen said earnestly.
"Really... really?" Lin Fan was immediately filled with excitement upon hearing this.
"Of course, don't you have any confidence in yourself?" Su Chen said.
"I'm confident!" Lin Fan said seriously.
"I believe in you. From this day forward, you will take on the responsibility of strengthening Yingtian Academy. Can you do that?" Su Chen said with a smile.
"Yes! This disciple will certainly not disappoint Master!" Lin Fan's expression was extremely serious.
"Good, as expected of my eldest disciple." Su Chen smiled and patted Lin Fan on the shoulder.
"Master, what was the important thing you just mentioned?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Of course I'm going to sleep!" Su Chen laughed, then disappeared without a trace.
Standing there, Lin Fan was completely bewildered. "I... I feel like I've been tricked by my master?"
This is an island suspended in mid-air, shrouded in misty fog. Through the haze, one can see the stunning scenery: mountains and rivers arranged in a harmonious way, planted with countless celestial herbs and fruits, like a dream, like a painting.
Suddenly, a man appeared outside the island. He was dressed in white, and his white hair was like the first snow of winter. Every strand of his hair was pure and untouched by the world. Under the blazing light, the man looked like a figure frozen in a painting.
And this man was none other than Su Chen.
"This girl is really bold, daring to take on this karma. If it weren't for me, she would probably be stuck here for the rest of her life," Su Chen said helplessly.
Have you really thought this through?
"That's what the system said."
"Yes, I've thought about this for a long time, and I'm not changing my mind. I hope these little ones won't be too sad." Su Chen smiled slightly, then walked onto the island without further hesitation.
The island was shrouded in a formation, but it had no effect on Su Chen. Su Chen continued walking along the path until he saw a fairy waterfall in front of him.
The celestial waterfall cascades down from the sky, vast and powerful. Beside the waterfall, a woman is meditating with her eyes closed. Her figure is graceful, and her elegant dress outlines her graceful curves. Her face is as white as jade, her eyes are closed, and her long eyelashes tremble gently like butterfly wings. She is breathtakingly beautiful.
"Who!" Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes, leaped into the air, frowned, and looked into the distance. When she saw Su Chen, she froze.
"Brother!" Ye Lingxi's face lit up with joy. She descended from the void and ran towards Su Chen, throwing herself into his arms. Her eyes were red-rimmed as she whispered, "Brother, you're here."
"Did you miss me?" Su Chen gazed tenderly at Ye Lingxi in his arms.
"I want to, I really want to, I think about it every day." Ye Lingxi nodded emphatically.
"Then why didn't you come looking for me?" Su Chen said.
"I..." Ye Lingxi lowered her head subconsciously.
"Alright, I know you're having trouble. I came here mainly to see you, and secondly, to give you something that will be helpful." Su Chen gently stroked Ye Lingxi's hair.
"What is it?" Ye Lingxi asked curiously.
Su Chen smiled slightly, then opened his right hand. Suddenly, the world changed color, dark clouds rolled and surged, the sky was dyed black, and a dazzling golden light shot up from Su Chen's palm!
Heaven and earth resonated, rivers surged, and all things trembled. All of this was caused by a golden stone. The golden stone was shrouded in radiance, as if it had been infused with the essence of the sun. Divine patterns flowed around it, radiating endless mysteries and containing terrifying energy that surpassed the Principle of this world!
Su Chen waved his hand, and everything returned to calm. The aura of the golden stone was completely erased, as if it had never existed.
"What is this?" Ye Lingxi asked in shock, knowing that this golden stone was no ordinary object; the power it contained made her soul tremble.
" High-grade Heart of the Earthfall!" Su Chen said calmly, then explained to Ye Lingxi what Heart of the Earthfall was.
That's right, the High-grade Heart of the Earthfall isn't a rumor, it's real. Su Chen had kept this Heart of the Earthfall Heart of the Earthfall his travels, and he's been keeping it ever since. Now, he's preparing to give it to Ye Lingxi.
"By refining this High-grade Heart of the Earthfall, you can break free from the shackles of Canglan Star," Su Chen concluded.
