Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 186 Teacher Zhou

Zhou Cheng was on his way home as usual. The setting sun hung on the roof of a building, casting a long shadow in front of him.

He encountered that timid girl again, which had become a routine, as he saw her almost every night. He had taught her for half a year during the first semester of her freshman year of high school. She was the kind of student who could be easily overlooked if not carefully observed, but as a teacher, he understood that this was the type of student that the school truly needed to focus on.

So he investigated the child's family background and learned about her situation. He realized that what she lacked most was self-confidence. So he did his best to encourage her and finally saw some light of self-confidence in her eyes.

Unfortunately, the child was later assigned to another class, and gradually she became that timid and inconspicuous girl again.

"Alas, one person's strength is ultimately limited." Zhou Cheng sighed inwardly.

As Zhou Cheng was thinking, he walked past a restaurant that was under renovation. There was still scaffolding erected at the entrance of the supermarket. Before he noticed, a steel pipe suddenly came loose, and a row of scaffolding came crashing down on him.

"Watch out!" someone shouted. He turned around and saw a boy and a girl running towards him quickly. At the same time, a dark red fireball was launched from in front of the boy and hit a steel pipe that was about to hit him.

Before Zhou Cheng could react to what was happening, a vine suddenly appeared around his waist, pulling him quickly toward the two of them.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a series of loud crashes as a row of scaffolding collapsed on the spot where he had just been standing.

"Thank goodness, we finally made it." The people who arrived were Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi. Looking at the collapsed scaffolding in front of them, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"This, this, this..." Teacher Zhou was clearly still in shock. Looking at the mess in front of her, she realized that she had just walked through the gates of hell.

Qin Xiaochuan didn't have time to explain to the other party. He looked up at the restaurant under renovation and saw a man standing on the roof, looking at the three people below with a vicious gaze.

With just one glance, Qin Xiaochuan knew that the other person was the one he was looking for—Brother Kun. He noticed the scaffolding that hadn't collapsed on the other side, and lightly leaped up. With just a few quick movements, he would reach the rooftop. Just then, the other person suddenly threw down a bag from the air, then with a wave of his hand, split the bag in two, and the scattered lime fell from the sky.

Qin Xiaochuan slapped his palm forward, releasing and then withdrawing the flame in his hand. The scattered lime was blown to both sides by the hot air and fell beside him. Then, after a few more leaps, he was about to reach the top of the building when the other party waved his right hand, and several key connections on the scaffolding suddenly broke, and the entire scaffolding was about to collapse.

"Xiao Chuan, watch out!" Guo Shiyi's voice rang out from below, and a steel I-beam suddenly rushed towards him from above.

At this moment, Qin Xiaochuan was still on the scaffolding. He slightly turned to the side to avoid the direct impact of the I-beam. Just as he was about to take advantage of the fact that the scaffolding had not completely collapsed, he glanced over and saw that there were still pedestrians on the scaffolding. Without bothering to chase after them, he slapped the I-beam with his hand, changing its direction so that it would rest on the still stable support below, supporting the part that was about to collapse.

At the same time, several vines as thick as an arm suddenly stretched out from the wall and wrapped around the already tilting scaffolding, finally stabilizing its collapse.

However, after this brief delay, by the time he jumped back onto the roof, Brother Kun had already vanished.

That evening at Han Kexin's villa, Han Kexin led Qin Xiaochuan to a quiet bedroom, looked at him coldly, and said, "Why are you bringing all sorts of people here to me now?"

"Isn't this something we can't help?" Qin Xiaochuan said with an embarrassed smile. "You promised Qiu Jie that you would protect Yang Yutong for him, and the best way to protect her is to bring her here. After all, we don't know if the Jiang Group will still target her."

"I can understand you bringing Yang Yutong here, but what's with that guy surnamed Zhou?" Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him.

"I had no choice, you know. Someone was going to attack him, and I couldn't just ignore it," Qin Xiaochuan said.

"You should have called the police in this situation! What's the point of bringing him here? Besides, what does it have to do with me if someone else is attacked? This isn't a shelter," Han Kexin said, dissatisfied.

"But the attacker was a superhuman, so just calling the police probably won't solve the problem. Besides, you've always been chivalrous and warm-hearted, so you certainly wouldn't stand idly by in something like this," Qin Xiaochuan said with a grin.

"Don't flatter me, I'm not that kind of person." Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him and said, "But since you brought him here, you can find out what's going on first, but then you'll have to take him home."

"Don't flatter me, I'm not that kind of person." Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him and said, "But since you brought him here, you can find out what's going on first, but then you'll have to take him home."

"What if that Kun guy goes straight to his house and attacks him?" Qin Xiaochuan asked.

"I asked Zhou Bin to arrange for someone to protect him. My place is already overcrowded. After returning from the Land of Witches last time, I added a skeleton and a large pet. Now there's Yang Yutong too. There's no way we can accommodate any more people. Besides, our identities are special, so it's not convenient for us to live together," Han Kexin said casually.

Qin Xiaochuan nodded and said, "That makes sense. In that case, it doesn't seem convenient for Yang Yutong to stay here."

"She's different; after all, she's already seen a real blood witch."

In the living room, Zhou Cheng and Yang Yutong sat on the sofa somewhat uneasily. Yang Yutong, in particular, didn't know where to put her hands. She huddled in a corner of the sofa, squinting at the two strangers.

Feifei suddenly jumped off the sofa. Yang Yutong felt her heart pound as she looked at its huge body standing beside her.

"What kind of animal is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before?" Zhou Cheng asked Guo Shiyi.

"Dog." Before Guo Shiyi could answer, Han Kexin's voice suddenly came from the stairs. Qin Xiaochuan, who was behind her, had a black line on his face. He looked at the indifferent figure in front of him and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This woman really has no psychological pressure when she lies." Even Feifei let out a low whimper in resentment.

Teacher Zhou was also a bit speechless. Anyone could see that this animal and the dog were clearly two different species, but since he was on their territory, he couldn't ask too many questions.

Han Kexin sat down on the sofa opposite Zhou Cheng, sized up the man in his thirties, and asked, "Teacher Zhou, do you know who tried to attack you?"

Zhou Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. I rarely get into conflicts with people around me. I really can't imagine who would want to kill me."

"Is it possible that you offended some student, causing them to have a vengeful mentality? After all, some students at this age are prone to extremes," Han Kexin pondered.

"That shouldn't happen, I would never physically punish or verbally humiliate students," Zhou Cheng said, shaking his head.

"Mr. Zhou is a very good teacher. Many students like him. When I was in the first year of high school, Mr. Zhou took a week off once. Many students missed him and even called him to ask him to come back soon," Yang Yutong said softly from the side.

"There are such good teachers." Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself. If he had met such good teachers back then, he might have been able to get into a better major.

"There's only one possibility left: you've inadvertently offended some people," Han Kexin said, frowning.
