At the entrance of Qin Kai Cultivation School.

Chen Pingan and Brother Xiong exchanged pleasantries. Most of the time, Brother Xiong carried the conversation. Only after a long time did Brother Xiong finally remember the important matter.

“Pingan, I’ll bring you to meet the principal first. We’ll go to the staff dormitory to get the keys later. If you still want to walk around the school later, I can accompany you. I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway.”

Chen Pingan nodded. He had said too many words of gratitude today. If he thanked Brother Xiong again, he was afraid that Brother Xiong would beat him up.

“Let’s go, the principal’s office building is not far ahead.”

Chen Pingan followed Brother Xiong all the way into this vast cultivation school. There were many buildings in the school but it was not crowded. This was because the school was very large, and each building was separated by a very wide distance.

After walking for a long time, he understood what Brother Xiong meant by “not far”.

They walked for a full ten minutes!

Cultivators walked very quickly. If they were ordinary people, they would need at least twenty minutes.

“How grand.”

Chen Pingan stood in front of a tall building. If Brother Xiong had not said anything, he would have thought that this was an office building. Chen Pingan thought about how schools nowadays were so rich and could afford to build tall buildings easily.

“Stop daydreaming. Come in quickly. The principal has been waiting inside for a long time.” Brother Bear urged.

“Coming, coming.”

Chen Pingan walked around to the entrance of the building. After he entered, he noticed that the interior had a different renovation style. He looked left and right and was full of admiration.

There was so much advanced equipment here that it was just dazzling. Just the decorations on the first floor were already so eye-catching. Chen Pingan wondered how amazing the furniture upstairs would be.

He followed Brother Xiong and took the elevator which went directly to the top floor of the building. The layout there was much simpler. There was only a conference room and several offices with closed doors.

Brother Xiong walked straight to the end and knocked on the door. An elderly voice came from inside.

After getting permission from the principal, he gestured for Chen Pingan to enter.

“Principal, this is the substitute teacher I recommended to you earlier, Chen Pingan.” Brother Xiong lowered his voice and said respectfully.

“Hello, Principal, I’m Chen… Pingan, the new substitute teacher.”

After Chen Pingan entered, he lowered his head and did not dare to size up the school’s principal. After receiving Brother Xiong’s gaze, he walked forward and introduced himself.

But when he saw the old man sitting in front of him clearly, he was really confused.

Wasn’t this that same old man from the neighborhood, Uncle Xun?!

Was… was he the principal of this school?

Chen Pingan had never heard anyone mention the identity of Uncle Xun in the neighborhood. The amiable Uncle Xun was actually the principal!

A principal of a big school living in such an old neighborhood?

“I didn’t expect Uncle Xun to actually be the principal of this school. Could he be the hidden expert in our neighborhood?”

Chen Pingan thought about many things until he heard Brother Xiong cough.

He shuddered as he saw the principal, Uncle Xun, rise to his feet at some point, his hand suspended in midair.

Seeing that Chen Pingan wasn’t shaking his hand, Uncle Xun couldn’t keep a straight face and started to frown.

“Principal Xun… nice to meet you!”

Chen Pingan hurriedly reached out and timidly shook the other party’s hand. His forehead was covered in sweat. Could Uncle Xun be angry?

“Well, I heard from Little Xiong that you’re good at long jumps, right?”

Uncle Xun was not displeased by the small incident just now. On the contrary, he felt gratified.

After all, the young man had listened to their words earlier!

In his eyes, this young man did not continue to be ignorant and incompetent. Not only did Chen Pingan start to cultivate diligently, but he even found a new job.

Uncle Xun was pleased with the change in the young man in front of him, and was even a little pleased with himself.

Uncle Xun felt extremely proud that he was responsible for guiding a young man who had gone astray onto the right path.

“Yes.”

Seeing the gentle expression on Uncle Xun’s face, Chen Pingan finally relaxed as he spoke nervously.

“Coincidentally, we need a physical education teacher who can teach long jumps at the moment. You can take over. I’ll inform the Academic Affairs Office later. They’ll make the necessary arrangements. Your schedule should be out in the next two days.”

Uncle Xun closed the resume and signed a document with his head lowered. He briefly explained the arrangements the school had made for Chen Pingan.

This was a public cultivation school. Apart from having an additional cultivation course, the school’s physical education course was also subdivided into many smaller sport courses. This was because the entire country was currently advocating for sports competitions.

Students would also enroll in the sports courses according to their strengths.

This way, the students’ talent for sports could be maximized. Previously, a female teacher had been in charge of the long jump sports course. However, because she was pregnant, she quit the job and went home to rest.

“Do you have any questions?”

Uncle Xun finished signing and looked up.

“No.”

Chen Pingan shook his head like a rattle-drum. He did not have many requirements for his job and already thought that it was really good for it to come with food and accommodation.

“There’s no need to be too restrained. Little Xiong will accompany you to walk around the school and familiarize yourself with the environment. If you have any problems at work, you can directly communicate with the Academic Affairs Office. And if you still have any problems, feel free to come here to look for me.”

Uncle Xun revealed a faint smile, his fierce appearance immediately becoming amiable, now having a bit more of the feeling of a caring old man.

“Also, do you need to stay in the staff dormitory?”

Chen Pingan nodded immediately when he heard that. He had not forgotten why he was here. His job was only a secondary concern. At the current moment, moving out of the neighborhood was more important!

“I need to stay in the staff dormitory. The neighborhood I live in is quite a distance from here. If there’s a traffic jam in the morning, I’m afraid I’ll be late for work.”

Uncle Xun could understand. After all, it was normal for young people to like to sleep in, unlike old people like them who slept lightly.

He looked at Brother Xiong and instructed, “I’ll leave this to you. Arrange a dormitory for him.”

“Is there anything else? I’ll contact you when everything with the Academic Affairs Office is settled. You can just go to class directly. There’s no need to report to me.”

Uncle Xun’s expression was warm. On the other hand, Cheng Pingan and Brother Xiong didn’t have anything else to talk to him about, so they withdrew from the office.

The moment he walked out of the office, Chen Pingan let out a sigh of relief. He finally felt relieved.

Just now, despite Uncle Xun’s benevolent and amiable appearance, Chen Pingan still felt extremely nervous.

“Could Uncle Xun be that neighborhood expert? However, when he spoke to me, he had a faint smile on his face. He was very polite and did not seem like the mysterious and powerful expert.”

Pingan thought about it carefully and started feeling more and more certain that Uncle Xun wasn’t the expert. Although Uncle Xun’s status was very high and was also the school’s principal, his cultivation level had not reached a profound level yet.

Moreover, why would the neighborhood expert treat him so nicely? There was no reason for the expert to greet him with a smile.

Chen Pingan reckoned that he was thinking too much, which was why he had been suspecting everyone in the neighborhood and scaring himself..
