Chapter 529: Can He Be a Teacher?

Who is that?

Ying Duo has never seen this person, but the system has already given a hint: the person standing before them together with Yue Chengzhang is named Su Jingming.

Su Jingming, Su Jingchuan.

Come to think of it, when Su Jingchuan brought him to the Slum where he first met Yue Chengzhang, it was indeed a bit odd.

And Su Jingming never appeared among the people he later encountered, so could this person be Yue Chengzhang's early‑deceased white‑moonlight close friend? Or the script of the close friend's only younger brother?

At this point, Yue Chengzhang already showed a hint of the future Supervision Bureau's youngest squad captain demeanor, but he couldn't stay serious for even a second; the moment he opened his mouth, his true nature showed.

But is Su Jingchuan really that formidable?

Yang Yixie couldn't help but ponder; it seemed that from start to finish he never took any of the other's classes, yet ultimately it could still be called a case of bad timing.

Back then, Ying Duo was solely focused on Level Up and advancing the plot, paying no mind to the Academy's curriculum itself; it was only after Yang Yixie took over this body that those fundamentals were placed first.

And all the basics were patched in by Fang Zhiyan.

Yang Yixie truly has no impression of Su Jingchuan's combat power, mainly because the teammates and enemies he usually encounters are already overwhelmingly strong.

"What are you talking about?"

Xi Ren Sheng, feeling very self‑aware, slipped between the two brothers, successfully taking in the whole photo content in Su Jingming's hand.

"Teacher Xi."

Yue Chengzhang shouted out, and that single shout caused the few people nearby to fall into a simultaneous silence.

Perhaps the earlier actions that Xi Ren Sheng took to build a good relationship with Yue Chengzhang took effect; although a few years had flashed by in the copy, his relationship with Xi Ren Sheng only grew better.

But the problem is...

Why would they call Xi Ren Sheng "teacher"???

Yang Yixie and Meng Kexin had always thought that Xi Ren Sheng's status, like Ying Duo's, was that of a student.

Turns out the role he was assigned is actually a teacher? Did the copy go blind? What can Xi Ren Sheng teach students? How to occupy the Dome Headquarters and then play rock‑pop music?

Unlike the eerie silence behind the others, Xi Ren Sheng has already successfully infiltrated the youth group.

"Classmate Xiao Ming also has a younger brother?" Xi Ren Sheng, full of curiosity, attached Yang Yixie's nickname for Min Tianyou onto Su Jingming's head.

Although Min Tianyou probably doesn't want that nickname either.

Before Su Jingming could speak, Yue Chengzhang had already taken the floor.

"Yeah, yeah, teacher, you haven't seen it—his younger brother fights as if his life doesn't matter! He fights even harder than that reckless Sanlang!"

While saying that, Yue Chengzhang pointed a finger at Su Jingming, who merely smiled good‑naturedly, a bit embarrassed.

"If it weren't for us being assigned this secret mission—to serve as bodyguards for the research institute's people, unable to freely contact the outside—he would definitely be secretly following his brother every day in the Academy."

Yue Chengzhang mercilessly exposed someone's brother‑obsessed trait; in his eyes, Xi Ren Sheng is a trustworthy Academy teacher, perhaps the teacher might have a way to let Su Jingming go out and meet his brother.

Secret mission, bodyguarding the research institute's people...

"There's nothing we can do; you all know the importance of this experiment."

Xi Ren Sheng has always been good at spouting nonsense; although he knows nothing about that experiment, it doesn't stop him from smoothly continuing and throwing in a few snarky remarks.

Watching Xi Ren Sheng discuss the closed experiment with Yue Chengzhang, they lamented the inconvenience of being confined to this place, while Xi Ren Sheng complained and deliberately steered Yue Chengzhang to reveal more information.

As the saying goes, the more you speak, the more mistakes you make, yet Yue Chengzhang had no guard against Xi Ren Sheng, and these were things basically everyone living here knew; Yue Chengzhang tacitly assumed Xi Ren Sheng knew them too, so he blurted out a lot, like scattering beans.

That actually made it easier for them to understand the situation.

"A bit strange."

Meng Kexin lowered her voice; they were relatively far apart, and considering the eclectic mix of their group, Hua Jian Lei, upon noticing people, immediately used illusion to diminish their presence.

Hua Jian Lei and Lao Bao have never had contact with Yue Chengzhang, so the sensation wasn't obvious, but Hua Jian Lei has already, because Yue Chengzhang came to Heavenly Dome City, obtained some information about him.

Besides Yue Chengzhang's outstanding strength as the Supervision Bureau's youngest squad captain, it's his sense of justice that seems overly out of place in this world.

People often say that having a sense of justice and drive is good, but if the drive goes too far and offends too many people's interests, becoming a thorn in their side, they'll eventually be schemed out and eliminated.

But Yue Chengzhang does not.

He continues to hold fast to his heart amid the targeting of various forces, gradually maturing to become, in the murky Tianmian City, the cleanest stream.

If human experiments were to resume here, how could Yue Chengzhang possibly agree?

Let alone being bodyguards for those researchers, he'd be fine even if he led a revolt and tore this place apart.

"Yue Chengzhang seemed to have mentioned to us that he once carried out an underground mission here, and that mission... was related to Tianmian City's Air Train."

This was information none of them knew, mentioned by Yue Chengzhang by chance after the Black Stone Mountain Range.

In other words, this place isn't conducting human experiments, but rather an Air Train that would later benefit countless people of Tianmian City?

Then why conduct research deep underground? One must know that only things that cannot be seen can be buried deep.

The collapse of the Black Stone Mountain Range doomed these things to be buried forever, yet no one knew that someone here had made a backup.

Yang Yixie began to wonder, how on earth did "Yang Yixie" create this copy?

The Air Train plan, a senior sister who contributed a massive research project, the saintess who controls the entire Tianmian City as a mobile fortress's armament authority...

Needless to say, Yang Yixie guessed whose side this plot would be on.

"Shall we temporarily split up and act separately?"

Yang Yixie suggested; after the recent plot ended, Xi Ren Sheng did not choose to bind Min Xingyao's identity, and compared to that, he still preferred to keep an eye on Yue Chengzhang, whose favor he had already raised very high.

This underground laboratory spans a large area, and those important NPCs could randomly spawn in any corner.

"At this point in time, Chen Xiaoshuang shouldn't be here."

Meng Kexin briefly compared the timeline; at this moment, Chen Xiaoshuang had already become the de facto head of the Chen Family, basically busy with business affairs at the Chen Family.

Although she could not possibly take part, all the equipment here subtly hinted at the Chen Family's presence.
