Chapter 1244: I Am an Ordinary Person

"Who exactly are you?" Xiao Hong finally spoke; this was a question the members of the Six Gates had been wanting to ask all along.

"An ordinary person," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"An ordinary person wouldn't be able to make Wen Ge end up like this. The Dharma Cultivator he mentioned... what kind of existence is that exactly?" Xiao Hong couldn't help but ask.

"A powerhouse of the current age." Chen Yu paused and said, "I think it's better for you to know less about all of this. Knowing too much won't do you any good, really."

Seeing Chen Yu's candid expression, Xiao Hong found it difficult to continue asking.

"Thank you once again. You really helped me a lot today," Xiao Hong said.

"It's only right. As long as you find the person I need to find for me, that's enough," Chen Yu said.

"I will do my best, but I have a request," Xiao Hong said, hesitating for a moment.

"You want to entrust the Six Gates to me?" Without her needing to say more, Chen Yu knew what she wanted to say.

"Yes, I want to entrust the Six Gates to you," Xiao Hong nodded earnestly and said.

"Although our Six Gates come from the lower nine classes, we have never done anything evil since our founding."

"And our ancestral teachings are very strict. Although we did commit some petty theft during the years of great disaster, that was only out of desperation."

"I know. Although I haven't had much contact with you, I can tell that you are an existence that robs the rich to help the poor," Chen Yu said. "But we have only just met; isn't it a bit rash of you to make this entrustment?"

"Actually, the existence of the Six Gates has been in jeopardy these past few years," Xiao Hong sighed and said. "It is mainly due to the human heart. People nowadays don't talk about great righteousness as much; more people think about their own interests."

"That's fair. If a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him," Chen Yu said. "There is nothing wrong with seeking one's own interests."

"More importantly, we have no status at all in society, so we are often subjected to suppression."

"Just like what happened tonight; if you hadn't stepped in, I'm afraid we would have faced total annihilation," Xiao Hong said.

"So I want to ask you... to help me strengthen the Six Gates."

"Strengthen?" Chen Yu laughed. "By the time you truly become strong, you will have forgotten your ancestors' rules completely."

"We won't. We will never forget our ancestors' rules," Xiao Hong nodded repeatedly.

"That is impossible," Chen Yu said. "Once you become strong, your status will rise with the tide."

"At that time, you will have status and money. You must understand that human desire is endless. Once desire is not satisfied, you will embark on other crooked paths."

Chen Yu said indifferently, "By then, your Six Gates will cease to exist."

Xiao Hong stared blankly at Chen Yu. Truth be told, these were things she had never thought about. She had always been thinking about how to strengthen the Six Gates, but she had never considered the consequences.

Chen Yu's words were like a sudden enlightenment, making her realize the truth in an instant.

Strengthening the Six Gates was not wrong, but what happens after they are strengthened?

Human hearts will change. After all, people are crazy in the face of power and money. People will become increasingly dissatisfied with their current situation, and in the end, what awaits the Six Gates will be total annihilation.

"I understand what you mean," Xiao Hong nodded after a long silence.

"As long as you understand. Of course, if your Six Gates have any difficulties, or face matters of life and death, I naturally won't sit by and watch," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Having this is enough," Xiao Hong also smiled.

After sending these people back to the tenement courtyard, Chen Yu returned to the hotel.

Waking up from sleep, the sky was already bright. Glancing at his phone, there was a message from Zhou Meng asking if Chen Yu had time, as one of her mentors wanted to meet him.

Replying to the message casually, Chen Yu washed up and ate. By the time he finished his meal, Zhou Bin had already driven over to pick him up.

"Teacher Chen, I'm here to pick you up. Zhou Meng and that mentor have already made an appointment."

"Then let's go."

Zhou Bin continued to play the role of a low-key rich second generation. His car was a ride-hailing service, and what made Chen Yu feel depressed was that it was still an economy car.

"Are all the rich second generations in your Shanghai as low-key as you?" Chen Yu asked.

"Not exactly, but I feel that if I appear too wealthy, I won't have any real friends around me," Zhou Bin smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"That's true. If a person acts too wealthy, then don't expect to have any normal friends around you," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "So your approach is still wise."

"Hehe, that's what I thought too, so I did it. I just want a few more intimate friends," Zhou Bin smiled, then sighed and said, "This world is too impetuous now, and the human heart is hard to fathom, so I can only use this method."

"Alright, let's go. Are you and Zhou Meng under the same mentor?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, we are classmates under the same mentor. My mentor is a professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine. He usually likes Traditional Chinese Medicine, so when he heard that Zhou Meng had taken you as her master, he wanted to meet you," Zhou Bin said.

"Good," Chen Yu nodded. Zhou Meng was a good person, suitable for studying Medicine, and her state of mind was also quite good, making her suitable to be taken as a disciple.

Soon, the two arrived at the Magic City Medical University.

If one were to talk about medical schools, Magic City Medical University definitely ranked in the top three in the country. The educational resources in this place were almost unrivaled domestically, and all the experts and scholars were the top elites of society.

This place recruited tens of thousands of medical seekers from all over the country every year, and also sent many medical talents to society annually.

Arriving at the school gate, the two got out of the car, and Chen Yu followed Zhou Bin as they walked into the medical school.

There were many female students in the medical school, and each one was more eye-catching than the last. Chen Yu suddenly realized that the motive for this kid Zhou Bin to study medicine here didn't seem that pure.

A man like Zhou Bin, who was handsome, was very popular here. Just standing at the gate like this, there were female students coming over to ask for his WeChat.

Chen Yu felt a bit depressed. He considered his own looks not bad either, but why was it that when he stood here, no one came to ask him for his WeChat?

"I'm in the school's art troupe and have sung at evening parties, so many people probably recognize me," Zhou Bin smiled sheepishly.

"You don't need to explain to me," Chen Yu shook his head. This kid probably didn't know where his true charm lay.

"Teacher, you're here?" Upon reaching a classroom, Zhou Meng greeted him excitedly. This classroom was a multimedia room where several classes attended lectures together.

The lecturer who came today, Li Mingwu, was a professor at the Magic City Medical University. His medical skills were extremely formidable, and it was not easy to invite such a figure to give a lecture today.
