Chapter 94: Chapter 94: How Could Someone Be This Useless?

“Teacher Su, did you need something from me?”

Zong Xiaoping quickly arrived at Su Huanqing’s office.

He saw Xu Lingjun.

A glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, then he remembered something, and the scrutinizing look quickly turned friendly.

Su Huanqing said, “This is Xu Lingjun, the last transfer student from Qingzhou City. Take him to the class and help him arrange a seat, put him next to you so you can easily guide him.”

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Lingjun and said, “This is Zong Xiaoping, our class president of Class 3-7, outstanding in Martial Tao. If you have any doubts about Martial Tao during this time, you can consult him. For cultural subjects, you can ask me.”

“Xu Lingjun?”

Zong Xiaoping’s eyes lit up and he said, “You’re the student who saved Teacher Su a few days ago?”

Su Huanqing: “…………..”

Seeing Su Huanqing’s unusual expression.

Zong Xiaoping quickly said, “Let’s go, Xu Tongxue, I’ll take you to the class to get familiar with the routine.”

Saying this, he warmly dragged Xu Lingjun and left.

Out of the office.

Out of Su Huanqing’s sight.

He finally let out a light breath and sighed, “That was close, I mentioned her forbidden topic in front of Teacher Su again. She hates it when people bring up her jumping off a cliff these days.”

Saying this, he gratefully looked at Xu Lingjun and said, “Anyway, thank you for saving Teacher Su. You’re Teacher Su’s savior, hence my savior too. If you need anything in the future, just let me know, I won’t refuse if I can do it.”

He then politely added, “Not to boast, but my father is the Vice President of the Fangyi City Martial Arts Association, and is a Martial Artist at the Profound Realm. I had access to Martial Tao knowledge earlier than you, so generally speaking, I know more than you. At present, I’m lucky to be the top of the senior year in Fangyi City. It’s not about who guides whom, we can just discuss any doubts together as friends.”

“Really?”

Xu Lingjun’s eyes lit up, delighted, “Honestly, I’ve been distressed about not knowing how to break through recently, after all, my parents are Martial Artists too but passed away early; there’s really no one to guide me.”

Zong Xiaoping asked, “Oh, do you have any particular confusion?”

Xu Lingjun sighed, “In fact, my cultivation has been stuck at the middle stage of Qi Gathering for a whole month now. Actually, I felt like breaking through a few days ago, but it feels like something’s blocking me. Huh? Zong Tongxue, why did you stop walking?”

Zong Xiaoping paused in his steps, staring at Xu Lingjun, gasping, “You… you’ve been at the middle stage of Qi Gathering for just a month and already feel like breaking through?”

Xu Lingjun sighed, “It’s quite long, maybe because I’ve been focusing on practicing Martial Skills lately, ignoring the cultivation technique. I know it’s wrong to have a partial focus, but without guidance, I’m like a blind person feeling an elephant.”

Zong Xiaoping, who has been stuck at the middle stage of Qi Gathering for two years, remained silent for a moment, then continued walking, “By the way, Xu Tongxue, can I ask you something?”

Xu Lingjun asked, “What is it?”

“Do you know why Teacher Su attempted suicide?”

“I really don’t know.”

Xu Lingjun thought why has the topic shifted?

Zong Xiaoping said indignantly, “Because Teacher Su has a scumbag fiance, seemingly arranged by her parents… Actually, her parents have always been exploiting her; arranging a fiance is surely to receive gifts. The other party might be a scumbag or rubbish. We want to help her, but we don’t know who it is.”

Xu Lingjun wondered, “Teacher Su also has a fiance?”

But thinking about how that fiance could drive the seemingly spirited Teacher Su to attempt suicide, he understood that not every engaged couple is as harmonious as he and Sister Yaya.

Why say also?

Zong Xiaoping gave Xu Lingjun a strange look, ignoring the details, and said, “So, Xu Tongxue, I want to ask you a question.”

“What question?”

“Is there anyone in Qingyang High School from Qingzhou with a wealthy family background, ugly appearance, and a perverted, twisted personality? Mainly rich…”

Xu Lingjun thought for a moment and replied, “Yes, his name is Guo Zheng, his father is the school’s principal, and his mother is on the board. He’s basically a second-generation rich kid and a crown prince at school, with no real flaws, just a bit lecherous and narcissistic. He’s tried to pursue fifty girls in a row but failed each time, so eventually, his mind became a bit twisted, a normal kind of pervert.”

“Fifty?”

Zong Xiaoping clicked his tongue, thinking this guy is quite generous in love.

Xu Lingjun nodded, “Yes, I was there to witness each time, counted, so I’m sure.”

“Ahchoo.”

Qingzhou City.

In a dilapidated City Lord’s Mansion.

Guo Zheng, who was in school, couldn’t help but sneeze, thinking which beauty was talking about him?

Can’t, can’t, although it’s my time since Old Xu left, I can’t let it be 2, 4, 8, 16…

I need to strive, rise, prepare so that someday I can confidently stroll into places with two buddies instead of being a lackey that pays the bill.

He rubbed his nose and continued to memorize his knowledge points.

Zong Xiaoping asked, “Which class is he in at our school?”

Xu Lingjun answered, “He didn’t transfer here, he’s still in Qingzhou City.”

“Oh, maybe I wasn’t clear. I mean the student who transferred from Qingzhou City to our school.”

Zong Xiaoping sighed, “I learned about it by coincidence, didn’t get the name, just that he’s one of the Qingyang High School transfers to Fangyi City… That’s my only clue. I’ve been looking for him all this time, but can’t find him.”

“Sorry, I don’t know either. Quite a few people transferred to Qingyang High School, but I’m the only one who joined our class. I don’t know the others, you know I’m pretty ordinary, not a remarkable figure at school, so I don’t know many people.”

Xu Lingjun asked, “Maybe you could ask around?”

“Everyone’s a suspect, I’m afraid of asking the wrong person and causing trouble for Teacher Su. So, I’m only asking you now.”

Zong Xiaoping gritted his teeth, “I want to know how much he paid Teacher Su’s dad. If he’s willing to break the engagement, I’d pay ten times more…”

Noticing the odd look in Xu Lingjun’s eyes.

Zong Xiaoping’s originally handsome, now utterly ordinary face reddened.

He awkwardly said, “I admit, I do have a bit of admiration for Teacher Su. I want her to find her own happiness… If I could give her happiness, that would be best. But even if it’s not me, she shouldn’t be buried by such despicable materialism. She should bravely pursue her happiness. Many female teachers in school or her friends, all want to introduce someone to her, but she always refuses. I think she should seriously consider her good friends’ opinions.”

Xu Lingjun said, amazed, “From what you say, I don’t seem to be a suspect. You’re that confident?”

Zong Xiaoping’s gaze swept over Xu Lingjun’s face and said confidently, “If Teacher Su’s fiance were really you, even if you were a useless guy addicted to all vices, I doubt she’d be pessimistic enough to attempt suicide.”

Xu Lingjun, moved, said, “Thank you for the regard.”

No wonder he was so eager to guide me when he just met me.

“You’re welcome.”

Xu Lingjun suddenly remembered what he was about to ask and said, “Oh right, about what I was saying earlier, you have more experience than me; how do I break through when I’m stuck at a bottleneck?”

“Well…”

Zong Xiaoping’s eyes wandered again, vaguely, he said, “In such cases, I think being too hasty is wrong, um… cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation, perhaps you’re too impatient… theoretically, breaking through just one month after isn’t anything; perhaps you’re just in haste, wanting to break through to the late stage Qi Gathering before the Dragon Gate Examination, but maybe you’re just too anxious?”

“How could one stay stuck for two years without progress? Zong Tongxue, you don’t need to comfort me.”

Xu Lingjun started, eyes lit up, understanding, “I see, you’re telling me I’ve been cultivating too diligently, advising me to stop and hone my current cultivation, right? Indeed, I might be too eager, rushing to break through before the Dragon Gate Examination, perhaps I’m a bit too impatient?”

“Ahaha, yes, precisely correct.”

Zong Xiaoping laughed, scratching his head, but his smile seemed forced no matter how you look at it.
