Chapter 1215 - Lord Dean Part 1
Grandmaster Tian Zhen's expression changed from his initial disdain to shock, looking at Mu Ru Yue's flawless face in astonishment.
"Little girl, you know how to refine arrays?"
In comparison to the popular profession such as alchemist, there weren't many that would choose to learn to refine arrays. The number of people that would pick up refining arrays in God Realm could be counted by fingers.
Therefore, Tian Zhen didn't expect Mu Ru Yue to know how to refine arrays…
"I only learned the basics."
Mu Ru Yue smiled slightly.
She had indeed learned some basics, but those basics were already sufficient to be greatly educational to others…
Mu Ru Yue's gaze shifted to a man within the crowd after she said that. Her apathetic eyes softened a little.
Perhaps only Ye Wu Chen who understood her ability the best would know she wouldn't be in any danger during this month.
But even if that was the case, she also knew the man longed and missed her…
When their gazes met within the crowd, time seemed to have stilled at that instant. The rowdy crowd had disappeared, leaving only them behind in the entire world.
Ye Wu Chen's eyes were gentle. His entire person was radiating a gentle glow under the morning sunlight.
"Cough! Cough!"
Lu Zhen snapped out of his shock and cleared his throat before he said, "There were some issues that occurred during the examination due to unexpected phenomena. Therefore, we will be postponing the following exams to tomorrow. Everyone can now be dismissed…"
Yet, his gaze glanced at Mu Ru Yue while he said that with a ray of light that flashed past his eyes.
'This little girl is truly talented! If I can recommend her to Lord Deam, perhaps there will be an increase of another peerless talent in the academy…'
"Yue Er, how did you do that?"
Li Sha's eyes lit up as she looked at Mu Ru Yue within the dormitory. With an excited radiance in her eyes, she continued, "Did you see that you have scared Zhou Min and Xiao Yu witless today?! They probably didn't see it coming that you can break out of the magic array by yourself! Hmph! I will see if they dare to continue doing underhanded moves!"
Mu Ru Yue smirked slightly but she didn't say much. She just changed the topic and asked, "It will be the final exam soon. Are you all prepared?"
"Hehe!" Li Sha laughed lovably. She then said adorably, "Yue Er! Qian Ye! Yi Lian! I surely won't be a burden to our team! If we remain in the academy, we must all stay together within the academy."
'That's right, this is my promise. No matter what, I mustn't lose in this exam…'
"Mu Ru Yue."
Yet, a voice was heard from outside the door.
When Mu Ru Yue turned her head to look at the entrance of the dormitory, Lu Zhen walked in from outside. His gaze was directly cast at Mu Ru Yue.
"Lord Dean is requesting for your audience."
'Dean?'
Mu Ru Yue was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly remembered that Fire Phoenix had mentioned that the dean of God Academy was an acquaintance of Wu Wang. Nonetheless, the Dean's location has been a mystery. Therefore, she had never gotten the chance to hear anything about his whereabouts.
'The dean wants to meet me now?'
"Alright."
Mu Ru Yue creased her eyebrows and nodded as she replied, "Please guide the way. I will head
A ray of light flicked past her eyes after she said that.
'I wonder what kind of person is the dean…'
"Lord Dean shall be awaiting you at the back mountain. Lady Mu, please come this way."
Lu Zhen cupped his fists with a slight smile on his cold and stern face. His gaze when looking at Mu Ru Yue had some hints of appraisal within them…

Back Mountain.
When Mu Ru Yue followed Lu Zhen into the courtyard, she saw a village woman sweeping the courtyard with a broom.
The village woman didn't have an outstanding appearance but her body figure within the worn out cloth robes was extremely slender. Yet, her entire body was covered with a layer of dust hiding her original appearance…
"Lu Zhen, have you brought her here?"
The village woman wiped away the cold sweat from her forehead. When she turned around, her gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue.
She sized up Mu Ru Yue from top to bottom. There was a sharp gaze within her eyes that had an unknown emotion…
Mu Ru Yue felt a little pressured under that kind of gaze. But that oppression vanished quickly.
The village woman withdrew her sharp gaze and with a smile on her face, she complimented, "Not bad! You are indeed a rare outstanding seedling. Lu Zhen, you are dismissed. I have some words to say to her."
"Understood, Lord Dean."
'Dean?'
Mu Ru Yue was a little startled.
'Is this woman that doesn't have an outstanding appearance the mysterious Lord Dean, the founder of God academy?"
"Hehe! Are you very disappointed?"
The woman chuckled and said, "Is it that you can't imagine the Dean of God academy having to sweep her courtyard herself?"
"No." Mu Ru Yue shook her head and explained, "It is best to do everything yourself. It not only helps in temperating your personality, but it also helps in breaking through."
The woman glanced at Mu Ru Yue in shock. She didn't expect her to say such words. She subconsciously chuckled and said, "You have a maturity that doesn't belong to your age. If other disciples were to see that I am this kind of person, perhaps… they will be doubtful of my identity. Only you will say such words…"
Mu Ru Yue didn't say anything. But she just walked forth to take the broom from her hand and gently swept the dust and sand before her…
"The path in cultivation is tedious! More importantly, we must calm our hearts to cultivate slowly. At times, such tasks that people belittle is actually the best way to calm the heart."
The woman's gazes became gentle. She then said in a tone as gentle as the wind, "You are an outstanding youth. It's truly a pity for you to be buried within God academy."
Mu Ru Yue raised her eyebrow and clarified, "You are the dean of the academy. Yet, you are saying things to devalue your academy?"
"Hehe!" The woman chuckled lowly and replied, "I am not devaluing God Academy. I'm merely stating the truth, My God Academy naturally is matchless powerful. However, you are really being buried in here. Little girl, personality is really important as a cultivator. You need to endure loneliness and stay calm and collected. Therefore, I believe there will be a day that your name will be engraved into God Realm. But… For some reason, you remind me of a past acquaintance…"
Mu Ru Yue's finger trembled. She stopped her hand movement and turned her head to look at the woman behind her and asked, "The past acquaintance you are referring to is…"
"He is my beloved." The woman giggled. Her smile didn't have any sorrow. It was just as gentle as the breeze. She continued, "But he loves another woman. His heart could only hold that woman even after she died. Nonetheless, it was sufficient for me to follow behind him as his close friend. I've never wished for him to look at me after all these years as only that kind of devastating beauty can be compatible with him…"
"What happened to the man after that?"
"That man…" The woman chuckled bitterly as she continued, "He has gone missing. I've been searching for him for many years but to no avail. Perhaps he has already reunited with her in another world. In that case, I can only pray they will stay together for all their life and eternity…"
