Chapter 312: Chapter 311: Tread Carefully and Enjoy the Peaceful Years

Upon returning to Lingchuan City, Huang Yihuan and Lu Zixun had barely said goodbye when a crimson guiding light from the Crimson Land rose within the city, as if beckoning an ascension.

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun went to the office to greet Zeng Haoyang.

At the same time, he brought up the issue of the intelligence location that Huang Yihuan had just mentioned.

"There’s such a place?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Haoyang’s brows furrowed, and after sending an elite squad to investigate, his gaze fell on Lu Zixun: "This transportation trip, did you learn anything?"

Lu Zixun, who was about to head to Yu Ren High School, stopped in his tracks upon hearing Zeng Haoyang’s question and thought carefully for a moment.

Then he earnestly said, "No matter what you do, you need absolute strength to succeed."

"Oh?"

Zeng Haoyang looked at Lu Zixun with interest, "Why do you say that?"

Jumping onto the desk, Lu Zixun, his tail swaying, said, "Cheng Tianxiang’s command skills are indeed outstanding, but when he encountered an unforeseen attack, he was led by the nose by Po Xiao, simply because they couldn’t solve Yang Yuanming."

"It’s not that there are no instances of the weak overcoming the strong, but under absolute power, you’re not even given the chance to command, you’re just crushed and taken away."

Licking his paw, Lu Zixun continued, "That’s why I feel the need to increase my strength, everything else is secondary."

"Applause."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of Zeng Haoyang clapping echoed in the office.

At the same time, Zeng Haoyang shook his head and said, "It seems you have learned something, but there’s something not quite right."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun looked at Zeng Haoyang with confusion, wondering where he had gone wrong.

"Many times, strength is indeed one of the essential conditions for negotiation, but when the Insect Clan first invaded, humanity didn’t have the strength to stand up to them as it does now. Do you know what they relied on to survive?"

Before Lu Zixun could speak, Zeng Haoyang said forcefully, "It was through many instances of the weak defeating the strong and the sacrifices of many people."

"At that time, many people chose to sacrifice themselves voluntarily, leading to the creation of the first SS-class Spiritual Ability User, the Crimson Land, and today’s stature that allows us to stand up to the Insect Clan."

After a moment of silence, Lu Zixun looked up at Zeng Haoyang: "So, old man, what are you trying to say?"

Raising his hand to touch Lu Zixun’s head, Zeng Haoyang’s eyes showed a hint of vicissitude as he slowly said, "Being powerful is one thing, but one must always be vigilant. I know the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon’s strength is increasing rapidly, but that doesn’t mean the Insect Clan can’t kill you. On the contrary, they have many ways to put you to death."

"I specifically sent you with the transport convoy, firstly to protect them. Secondly, to make you understand that while your strength is indeed powerful now, strong enough to crush others, there will come a day when roles will be reversed, and how will you respond then?"

As he finished speaking,

Zeng Haoyang sighed deeply, "Always maintain humility, don’t be arrogant or complacent, the first one to advance to an SS-class Spiritual Ability User died by their own doing."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun seemed to understand something, yet it seemed he didn’t grasp anything at all, and he looked down at the desk in silence.

"Go on, old man’s busy now."

Patting Lu Zixun’s back, Zeng Haoyang smiled.

Grateful for the life lessons on surviving the Crimson Land that Zeng Haoyang imparted, Lu Zixun glanced at him with a look full of appreciation and then left the office.

After Lu Zixun had left, Zeng Haoyang opened a drawer and caressed a jade hairpin inside, his gaze filled with reminiscence.

Staring blankly ahead, he remained lost in thought for a long while.

...

Yu Ren High School.

Located halfway up a hill, one could see the prominent clock tower and the pleasant green surroundings at a glance, signifying a rather nice high school.

Lu Zixun, who had just arrived at Yu Ren High School, heard the sound of the class-ending bell.

Thinking that the appearance of a cat in a high school campus shouldn’t be anything strange, Lu Zixun casually strode towards the main gate.

"Damn it."

Unexpectedly, the security guards chased him with a broom. Shaking his head to dislodge the leaves atop, he felt utterly dismayed and hopped onto the surrounding wall.

After looking around, Lu Zixun headed towards a building that looked like a teaching block.

Walking around the campus brimming with the zest of youth, Lu Zixun felt in high spirits.

"The new teaching assistant who recently came is so gentle!"

When he heard this, Lu Zixun turned a corner and walked over, perking up his ears and squatting in a corner to listen to the conversation among three students.

"Yes, but I heard Cold-faced Tiger doesn’t seem to like her."

"Ah, it’s really annoying. It’s already enough that Cold-faced Tiger enforces discipline so strictly, even not washing your hair gets you reprimanded..."

"Class is about to start! What are you three doing out here?"

There’s an old saying: what you fear, you shall encounter.

While these three students were discussing the Cold-faced Tiger, a person with a stern face holding a teaching crop briskly approached.

"Good morning Director Shi, we’ll head back to the classroom right away."

A quick greeting was all it took before the three students hurried off to class.

"Heh, these little brats."

Watching the bread left behind, Shi Lei shook his head, picked it up and threw it into the trash can, muttering to himself: "From now on, I need an extra fifteen minutes in the morning to have breakfast."

Shi Lei, holding the teaching crop, walked briskly toward the office.

Lu Zixun, who had been listening in from the corner heard everything clearly and pondered for a while, silently following behind Shi Lei.

Entering the office, Shi Lei casually closed the door behind him.

Lu Zixun leapt onto the windowsill and saw Lin Siyin, who was looking over the teaching materials with a somewhat frazzled expression.

After Shi Lei entered, Lin Siyin got up and greeted him.

Shi Lei said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, you can work on these lesson plans later. For now, help Mr. Wang with a class. You need to make the kids fond of you."

Cocking his head, Lu Zixun felt that Shi Lei wasn’t as unbearable as the three students had said.

"Director, I’ve already memorized the names of the students, and now I’m thinking about the math lesson plan for tomorrow."

With a timid smile, Lin Siyin looked at Shi Lei with some confusion: "Director, you are such an approachable person, why would you... want to..."

She hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Shi Lei smiled and took a sip of tea: "In a school, if someone has to play the good cop, then someone else must play the bad cop. Besides, haven’t you noticed? The students are afraid of me only superficially; in reality, they still respect me a lot."

He happily returned to his seat.

Shi Lei turned on his computer and began adjusting the time for the students’ morning exercises.

Lin Siyin once again buried herself in the lesson plans.

Lying down on another tree branch, Lu Zixun took a nap.

The summer sunlight filtered through the trees and into the office.

The sleeping cat’s beautiful profile captured a sense that time stood still in a perfect, tranquil moment.
