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

Chen Guan looked at him: "Teacher, you're meddling in other people's business."

Chen Beixuan shrugged: "There's nothing I can do, this area is under my jurisdiction today."

Guan Jinyue suddenly spoke up: "Chen Guan, go around him."

She stepped straight toward the other side of the well, a silver crack spreading half an inch along her feet, and her body slid along the ice surface toward the edge of the well, using the speed of spatial displacement.

Chen Guan stepped forward at the same time, and upon seeing this, Chen Beixuan remained seated on the rock platform.

He raised his hand and tapped the ice wall behind him with the back of his fingers.

thump.

As the first sound rang out, a ring of silver-blue patterns lit up deep within the well wall.

thump.

As the second sound fell, silver-blue patterns spread downwards along the circular opening, sinking from the wellhead all the way into the depths of the seabed.

thump.

As the third sound rang out, the silver-blue light emanating from the entire inner wall of the well merged into one, and the originally open circular entrance was covered by a layer of transparent ice curtain. Fine runes flowed across the surface of the ice curtain, completely isolating the black seawater below.

Guan Jinyue stopped in front of the ice curtain and slashed the spatial rift in his hand onto it. The silver light was quickly swallowed up by the runes on the surface of the ice curtain after it touched it.

Chen Guan's scythe tip landed on the ice, the black blade slicing along the edge of the ice curtain, leaving a faint white mark that was then repaired by silver-blue light in the next moment.

Barr cursed in Chen Guan's mind, "Cognitive blockade, he changed the entry point."

Chen Guan stared at the ice curtain: "What do you mean?"

Barr's speech quickened.

"Under these rules, it is no longer permitted to be an entry point."

Chen Guan looked up at Chen Beixuan on the rock platform.

At this moment, Chen Beixuan jumped off the rock platform and stepped onto the ice. He smiled and walked to the ice curtain, casually patting the silver-blue patterned surface twice.

"Don't rush."

"I'm in charge of this door now. If you want to go in, you have to get my permission first."

Chen Guan's scythe did not continue pressing down on the ice curtain.

The black blade slowly descended along the transparent barrier, while his left hand slid to the storage ring, ready to pull out a Poké Ball and smash it across the river at any moment.

Guan Jinyue did not sever the spatial rift a second time.

She stood half a step to the side in front of the ice curtain.

Her long silver hair was blown down to her shoulders by the sea breeze, and a very thin tear line ran along her wrist in her sleeve, revealing the sharpness hidden in the fabric.

Chen Beixuan glanced at the two men's positions, his gaze falling on Chen Guan's hand, which wasn't quite hidden properly.

"Stop touching me."

Chen Beixuan spoke leisurely.

"The little leopard in your ball isn't fully grown yet; releasing it will only add to the teacher's workload."

Chen Guan's fingers did not leave the storage ring.

"The teacher even knows this?"

Chen Beixuan stepped on the edge of the ice curtain. The silver-blue runes on the sole of his shoe lit up for a moment before quickly sinking back into the transparent ice.

Is it strange that a teacher knows what prohibited pets a student brought?

Chen Guan stared directly at him.

"When did Huaqing Academy start regulating prohibited pets in the demon realm?"

Chen Beixuan raised his hand and pointed to the Black Rock Beach in the distance, which was covered by wind and snow.

"You see, this is the difficulty of education."

He sighed.

"The students are thousands of kilometers away from school, and the teachers still have to clean up their messes on the frozen seashore."

Guan Jinyue's gaze swept from Chen Beixuan's shoulder to his feet, and finally landed on the snow in the distance where no footprints had been left.

"The outer layer of the ice sea is patrolled by demons, while the inner layer is suppressed by the rules of ancient ruins."

She gripped her wrist tightly.

"Spatial abilities are reduced to a very low level here, yet you were able to sit silently next to the entrance and wait for us to arrive."

Chen Beixuan turned to look at her.

"Miss Guan is quite subtle in praising people."

The silver sheen on Guan Jinyue's cuff tightened by half an inch.

I wasn't praising you.

Chen Beixuan nodded.

"That's a reminder to me that even if I'm an expert, I shouldn't be too high-profile when I'm out and about."

Guan Jinyue was speechless. Why are all the Chens so narcissistic?

"This is the territory of the demon race. Anyone who can do this must be abnormally strong."

After hearing this, Chen Guan seemed to be deep in thought.

He knew Chen Beixuan was strong.

After all, he was a physical training instructor at Huaqing Academy. He dared to repeatedly beat up a group of geniuses in the training field. Although he usually spoke like an unreliable middle-aged man, he never revealed his true abilities when it came to actually fighting.

However, sitting and waiting for someone in the icy sea is beyond the scope of an ordinary teacher.

This kind of ruthless character seems completely out of place among ordinary school teachers.

Chen Beixuan pulled his hands out of his coat pockets and patted the snow off his shoulders.

"Don't think of me as too scary, I'm just good at playing hide-and-seek."

Snow fell from his shoulders.

For a moment, the wind that swept across the well paused for a beat, and the fine ice particles swirling in the air stopped in front of him. A powerful force pressed the entire snowstorm into his palm and smoothed it out, only to release it again in the next instant.

Ice pellets continued to fall, and a faint sound of flowing water came from the depths of the sea well. The brief pause just now could easily have been mistaken for an illusion.

Chen Guan did not take it as a misconception.

The spatial tear line in Guan Jinyue's sleeve is directly broken into two sections.

Chen Beixuan looked down at his shoulder, then glanced casually at Guan Jinyue: "The snow in the Northern Territory is quite annoying. It's hard to get rid of it completely after just a few pats. Also, don't use dangerous abilities during class."

Baal's voice finally rang in Chen Guan's mind.

"Kid, don't make a move. This guy is not someone you can touch right now."

Chen Guan silently responded in his mind.

"You can't see through it either?"

"I can tell he's in trouble. This place is still helping him cover up his secrets, just like he said, this is his territory."

Barr lowered his voice.

"If it really comes down to a fight, you won't even be able to touch his skin."

Chen Guan's gaze never left Chen Beixuan.

"Tenth rank?"

Barr chuckled softly.

"Get started."

There wasn't much of the relaxed air of someone watching a spectacle in his tone.

"Moreover, not only can he not beat people, he's also disgusting."

Chen Guan removed his fingertip from the storage ring, but his hand remained inside his sleeve. He looked at Chen Beixuan, maintaining his usual unhurried tone, and tentatively asked, "Teacher, are you from the Great Wall?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Jinyue's expression turned serious.

The Great Wall is the hardest weapon the authorities can wield, and also the human defense line that the demon race fears most.

If Chen Beixuan is indeed a member of the Great Wall, then she, who has cooperated with the demon race and even participated in the peripheral operations of the Shanghai incident, is now standing here, which is tantamount to sending herself to the judgment seat.

Chen Beixuan didn't look at her; he only stared at Chen Guan and said teasingly, "Guess?"

Chen Guan nodded: "When a teacher answers like that, it usually means they're half right."

Chen Beixuan raised his hand and touched his chin.

"If you used that reasoning ability in an exam, you could probably beat An Changqing in the head."

Chen Guan looked at the sealed ice curtain: "I used to think that the teacher was only good at physical skills."

Chen Beixuan smiled and asked, "And now?"

He was quite looking forward to Chen Guan's evaluation of him.

Chen Guan answered very seriously.

"It's becoming apparent that many teachers are taking on part-time jobs."

Chen Beixuan chuckled. How come he never noticed before that this student had a good sense of humor?

That's good; he hates quiet, reserved people the most.
