Back mountain.

When Mu Ruyue followed Lu Zhen into the courtyard, she saw the village woman sweeping the courtyard with a broom.

The woman was not very pretty, but she was very slender in her hemp flowered robe. However, her whole body was covered with a layer of dust, which had long concealed her original appearance...

"Lu Zhen, have you brought the people?"

The village woman wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and when she turned around, her eyes fell on Mu Ruyue.

She looked Mu Ruyue up and down, with a fierce look in her eyes that could not read any emotion...

Under this sharp gaze, Mu Ruyue felt a little oppressed, but soon, the feeling of oppression disappeared.

The village woman put away her sharp gaze and smiled: "Not bad, not bad! She is indeed a rare talent. Lu Zhen, please go down. I have something to say to her."

"Yes, Dean."

Dean?

Mu Ruyue was stunned for a moment.

This plain-looking woman is the founder of the seminary, the mysterious dean?

"Haha, you're disappointed, huh?"

The woman smiled and said, "Didn't you expect that as the dean of a seminary, you would have to clean the yard yourself?"

“No,” Mu Ruyue shook her head. “I do everything myself just to cultivate myself and to achieve further breakthroughs.”

The woman looked at Mu Ruyue in surprise. She didn’t expect her to say that. She chuckled and said, “You really don’t look as calm as you should be at your age. If other young disciples saw me like this, they would probably... only question me. Only you would say something like that…”

Mu Ruyue didn't say anything, but stepped forward to take the broom in her hand and gently swept the dust in front of her...

"Being a cultivator is boring in itself! It is even more necessary to calm down and practice slowly. Sometimes, things that are not taken seriously by others can help people calm down."

The woman's eyes softened, and her tone was as gentle as the wind: "You are a very good young man. It's a pity that you are buried in the seminary."

Mu Ruyue raised her eyebrows: "You are the dean of the academy, would you say something that belittles your own academy?"

“Haha,” the woman chuckled twice, “I’m not belittling the seminary, I’m just telling the truth. My seminary is naturally extremely powerful, but it is indeed overshadowed by you. Girl, as a cultivator, character is very important. You can endure loneliness and are more calm and steady. So, I believe that one day, your name will definitely be mentioned in this divine world… But, I don’t know why, you remind me of an old friend…”

Mu Ruyue's fingers trembled, she stopped what she was doing, turned her head and looked at the woman behind her: "Who are you talking about..."

"It was the one I loved," the woman laughed. That smile was not sad, but gentle as the wind. "But he loved another woman. Even though that woman died, he only had that person in his heart. But, for me, being able to be his confidant behind him is enough. Over the years, I never expected him to look at me more, because only a stunning beauty like her can match a man like that..."

"What about that man? What happened to him?"

"That man..." The woman laughed bitterly, "He's missing. I've been looking for him for years, but I can't find his whereabouts. Maybe he and she have met in another world. In that case, I can only wish them to be together forever..."
