Within the quiet and elegant bamboo house, Mu Chen looked with some awkwardness at the girl dressed in white that was in a seiza position behind the tea table. The latter wore a white dress, with her black hair draped over her shoulders. Coupled with her beautiful face and the lovably pointed jaw, she radiated with a faint icy and indifferent aura, letting people know that it was not easy to get close to her.

The girl in front of him was really quite beautiful, with not a bit inferior to Su Xuan. The only gripe was that icy indifference, which was the greatest among all of the beautiful girls that Mu Chen had ever seen.

He never imagined that this eccentric Elder Ling Xi would actually be this young and beautiful.

Su’er, who had also adopted the seiza position beside Ling Xi, secretly laughed as she looked at Mu Chen’s awkward-looking face.

Regardless of that, the girl in white did not care about the Mu Chen in front of her and was minding her own business as she extended her slender white hand. Picking up the teapot, she gently poured the tea out, bringing along a clear and melodious sound within the quiet room as the tea entered the cup.

Giving a dry cough, Mu Chen cupped his hands and said, “This student, Mu Chen, has seen Elder Ling Xi. I apologize for my earlier conduct…”

“Why did you come here?” asked the white girl in a calm voice, with no presence of any fluctuations.

“The Dean has asked me to come here to find Elder…Ling Xi for guidance on cultivation in Spiritual Arrays,” replied Mu Chen, with the word ‘Elder’ being said with slight difficulty, as he had never seen such a young and beautiful Elder.

“I don’t teach people.” Holding the jade tea cup in her white hands, the girl in white took a light sip before giving her reply.

Hearing her reply, Mu Chen immediately glared at Su’er sitting beside her.

“I don’t teach males.” Seemingly knowing what Mu Chen was referring to, the girl in white added a casual response.

Feeling helpless, the only thing Mu Chen could do was forsake his shame and replied, “It’s the Dean who asked me to come here.”

Hearing those words, the beautiful eyes of the girl in white rotated up slightly. Shooting a look at Mu Chen, she replied, “I’m not a person of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. The only reason I’m here is due to owing a favor to Dean Tai Cang. Therefore, I’ve only agreed to help him construct some Spiritual Arrays for the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. As long as I want to, I can leave at any time. Therefore, don’t use his name and try to pressure me.”

Mu Chen was immediately speechless. This Elder Ling Xi’s character truly was eccentric. She didn’t even give face to Dean Tai Cang. This turn of events truly made Mu Chen feel slightly at a loss on how to proceed.

The girl in white proceeded to ignore the helplessly feeling Mu Chen and started to play with her elaborately designed jade cup with her usual indifferent expression.

Do to this, the atmosphere within the room quickly became silent and slightly stifling.

Seeing Mu Chen starting to shrivel up, Su’er could not help, laughing up her sleeve, before saying quietly, “Elder Sister Ling Xi, Big Brother Mu Chen’s talent in Spiritual Arrays is very good, and is even better than me.”

“There are too many people with good talent. If I were to teach every single one I see, wouldn’t that tire me to death?” asked Ling Xi as she glared at Su’er.

“Elder Sister Ling Xi, can you please help Big Brother Mu Chen, please? He treats me very well,” begged Su’er as she started to act like a spoilt kid.

Nevertheless, Ling XI did not budge.

“Elder Sister Ling Xi, if you don’t agree, I’ll not do work anymore,” said Su’er as she pouted her small mouth.

“Then, I’ll just have to lock you up in the Spiritual Array House.” replied Ling Xi in a soft voice as a smile seemed to rise from the corner of her mouth.

Upon hearing the three words “Spiritual Array House”, Su’er immediately turned quiet in fear, her little face quickly showed a bitter expression as she did not dare to continue speaking.

Seeing that Su’er did not dare to continue speaking, Ling Xi turned quietly for a slight moment before looking at Mu Chen. With an indifferent tone, she asked, “So, you’re a Rank 4 Spiritual Array Master now?”

“Yes,” replied Mu Chen while nodding his head.

“What problem do you have?” asked Ling Xi.

“I would like to know how to control the Heart’s Eye state.” Mu Chen immediately replied. To him, the Heart’s Eye state was extremely important. Once he was truly able to able to control the Heart’s Eye state, he would be able to rely on his strength of a Rank 4 Spiritual Array Master to arrange Rank 5 Spiritual Arrays.

Although it could be said that he had managed to faintly make contact with the Heart’s Eye state, the entirety of this state was extremely complicated. If he only relied on his probing and feelings, he truly did not know when he would achieve the level of full control.

“Heart’s Eye?” muttered Ling Xi, as a trace of astonishment revealed itself within her eyes. She truly didn’t imagine that Mu Chen was actually able to make contact with the Heart’s Eye state at his current level. It looked like what Su’er said was true, that he possessed an extremely high talent for Spiritual Arrays.

“The Heart’s Eye state is a rather high and deep state within the path of a Spiritual Array Master. It’s known in two forms, the Void Heart’s Eye state, and the Real Heart’s Eye state. However, from the looks of it, you aren’t even at the level of full control over the Void Heart’s Eye state.”

Hearing her explanation, Mu Chen faintly gawked. Obviously, he never thought that the Heart’s Eye state would actually have such a differentiation within it.

“What’s the difference between the two?”
