The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Bar's intermittent voice came from the depths of his mind.

"Kid, this is more complicated than I thought. There's something down there interfering with the rules, so the perception I can give you will be suppressed to a very low level."

Chen Guan raised his right hand, the black mark on his palm was cold and hard.

"How low?"

Barr replied reluctantly, "So low that if you were being targeted by something, I might find out a little later than you."

Chen Guan gently flicked his wrist.

"That doesn't sound like something a demon chief would say at all."

Barr let out a short laugh, but his laughter lacked the relaxed enjoyment of watching the spectacle.

"The head of the demons is now just a fragment."

Chen Guan looked down into the well with a solemn expression. Even though Baal was now just a fragment, His power was undeniable.

Guan Jinyue could no longer hear Baal's encrypted communication, but she sensed something was wrong from Chen Guan's reaction. She raised her hand and drew a silver crack in the air, the edges of the crack vibrating and tightening towards both sides.

"I'll scout ahead."

Chen Guan took half a step back to make room for her.

Guan Jinyue gently pointed his finger forward, and the spatial rift descended along the well opening. The silver light extended along the edge of the dark seawater, and began to twist and deform after going down about three meters. The silver light was compressed into thin lines and then broke inch by inch.

She stopped immediately.

The shattered silver light curled back along her fingertips. Guan Jinyue slightly tightened her hand in her sleeve, a layer of white frost appearing on her knuckles, her palms frozen and bloodless.

Chen Guan looked at her hand: "Backlash?"

Guan Jinyue tucked his hands into his sleeves, his body remaining perfectly still: "I can handle it."

Chen Guan looked at the completely scattered fragments of spatial light and did not approve.

"Being able to endure something doesn't mean it's worth enduring."

Chen Guan picked up the water-repelling bead that Yin Chen had given him before he left, and weighed it in his palm.

"Hopefully this will be helpful."

Chen Guan never expected this thing to be used in this kind of place. He raised his right palm toward the well opening, trying to spread his newly acquired emotional perception downwards.

The black mark showed no heat.

The mine shaft was completely empty.

Chen Guan lowered his hand, not surprised by the result.

"Get ready to go down the well."

Just as the two were about to step onto the edge of the well, a blizzard suddenly broke out on the other side of the well.

"Hey, Chen Guan, you've skipped class and come all the way to the Northern Forbidden Zone?"

The tone was extremely casual.

It's so ordinary that it exudes the leisurely feeling of a teacher catching lazy students by the playground with a thermos in hand.

Chen Guan's hand holding the sickle did not move, but his eyelids lifted up.

A faint silver light appeared in the air beside Guan Jinyue. The spatial rift was not fully opened, but was hidden in her wide sleeves, ready to cut to the other side of the well at any time.

On the ice wall on the other side of the wellhead, there is a protruding black rock platform.

Chen Beixuan sat on the black rock platform, wearing a dark coat that was not very resistant to the cold, and holding a grilled sausage in his hand. The surface of the sausage was covered with white frost, and hard ice shards were visible through the bite marks.

He waved the grilled sausage in his hand at Chen Guan, his posture extremely relaxed.

"Want one? It's a specialty from the North. It's quite filling once it's frozen solid."

Chen Guan looked at him and fell silent for a moment.

Is he dreaming?

Even if it's a dream, this is a nightmare. A notorious devilish teacher has actually appeared here.

"teacher."

Those who understand the times are wise, so Chen Guan first obediently called out.

Chen Beixuan nodded in satisfaction.

"The fact that he still recognizes his teacher shows that he hasn't been running wild and foolish outside."

Guan Jinyue's gaze lingered on Chen Beixuan, then fell on the black rock platform at his feet, and then looked at the ice layer buried by the wind and snow around him.

"Who are you?"

She seemed quite wary.

Chen Beixuan took the sausage away from his mouth, stretched out his other hand, and acted very naturally.

"I am Chen Beixuan, a teacher at Huaqing College."

After hearing this explanation, Guan Jinyue became even more wary.

"How did an academy teacher manage to bypass the demon race's blockade and sit right next to the entrance to the icy sea?"

Chen Beixuan tapped his knee with the frozen sausage, making a crisp sound.

"A trip to the North, with some fishing on the side."

Guan Jinyue looked at the empty ice wall behind him.

"Where's the fish?"

Chen Beixuan raised his hand and pointed to the sea well below.

"Isn't this it?"

Chen Guan looked down into the well, following his finger.

"The teacher's fishing method is quite economical; you don't even need a fishing line."

Chen Beixuan grinned.

"You young people don't understand. True fishing depends on fate. If the fish want to eat me, it will come out. If it doesn't want to eat me, then I'll just watch the sea."

Guan Jinyue eyed him warily, silver light flowing out from the edge of his sleeve.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guan finally couldn't stand the feigned madness any longer: "Teacher, Huaqing Academy's physical training courses have already expanded to include practical teaching at the seaside?"

Chen Beixuan took another bite of the frozen sausage, but couldn't bite it, so he tossed it aside in disgust.

"The college is short on funds, so teachers have to pay out of their own pockets to take students around the world. Doesn't that sound incredibly touching?"

Chen Guan nodded.

"It's quite touching, so touching that I even want to go back and report you for adding extra classes without permission."

Chen Beixuan raised his finger and pointed at him twice: "That's because you're being disrespectful. Your teacher is doing this for your own good, and you're thinking of reporting your teacher."

Chen Guan looked at the rocky platform at his feet that was not covered by wind and snow, and spoke directly.

"That teacher arrived early enough."

Chen Beixuan put his hands in his coat pockets, leaned back against the ice wall, and smiled at him.

"Teachers who get up early get caught by students."

Chen Guan looked up and met his gaze.

"Early-rising students also wonder where teachers get their overtime pay."

Chen Beixuan clapped his hands.

"Not bad, you've improved your verbal skills faster than your physical abilities after going out for a while."

Guan Jinyue didn't want to listen to this endless small talk any longer. She took half a step forward, and the thin crack spread silently along the ice surface.

"Chen Guan, he's stalling for time."

Chen Guan did not deny it.

"I can tell."

Chen Beixuan raised his hand to his chest, his face full of grievance at being misunderstood.

"Miss Guan, your words are hurtful. I'm just a lonely human, suffering from the wind and cold in the forbidden area of ​​the demon race. I finally see an acquaintance, so what's wrong with chatting for a bit?"

Guan Jinyue clenched her fists and stared at him: "You know who I am."

Chen Beixuan raised his finger and pointed to his head.

"Knowing student information is a basic skill. Although you are not my student, you have become quite famous recently."

The spatial rift within Guan Jinyue's sleeve shimmered with a dazzling silver light.

"Since you know that, why do you still dare to sit here and wait for us?"

Chen Beixuan sighed and looked up at the gray sky.

"When you reach middle age, everyone has things they have to do."

Chen Guan looked down at the inner wall of the well. The ice around the well opening was unusually clean. The snow powder that had been blown in by the wind always managed to avoid it after landing at the edge.

He bent down, picked up a black stone, and threw it into the well.

As soon as the black stone crossed the boundary, it veered off course in mid-air, gliding along the ice wall for a distance before finally landing not far from Chen Beixuan's feet, rolling twice before coming to a stop.

Chen Beixuan looked at the stone.

"Littering will result in a deduction of points from your daily performance record."
