Popularizing The Way Of Cultivation - Chapter 28

28 Zhou Guowei in a Dilemma

Outside Avenue Bookstore.

A police car slowly stopped outside the door. After the car stopped, several men got out of the car one by one. They were Chief Zhou, Zhang Youwei, and Xu Pingqiu.

“Is this the place?” Chief Zhou turned to look at Zhang Youwei with disbelief and doubt.

There was a hint of questioning in his tone at the same time. It was as if he was saying. You practiced your Qigong in a bookstore? How was this possible?

Naturally, Zhang Youwei could hear the meaning behind his words.

As soon as he arrived at the bookstore’s entrance, Zhang Youwei became much more energetic.

He stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at the signboard at the entrance of the shop, Avenue Bookstore.

He gave off a heroic aura and said with a smile, “In this world, many things are like this. What is clearly shown to you is often not true.”

These two sentences had stunned Chief Zhou. When he raised his head to look at the words ‘Avenue Bookstore’ again, he could not help but feel a hint of reverence.

What was so special about this bookstore?

“Ma Daqiang, you should head back.”

The person who personally drove Chief Zhou here was none other than Captain Ma Daqiang.

After hearing Chief Zhou’s words, Captain Ma drove the police car in the opposite direction from where they had come from, gradually getting further and further away.

Thus, only these three people were left at the door. The nearly abandoned street once again regained its tranquility. “Chief Zhou, after you.”

When the three of them entered the shop, Chief Zhou was slightly surprised. There was no air-conditioning in this bookstore?

After carefully examining the surrounding environment, he could only describe this bookstore as plain.

There was almost nothing else besides the bookshelves, books, and fluorescent lights on the ceiling

At this moment, Chief Zhou had already believed 70% of what Zhang Youwei said about learning Qigong in this bookstore.

“Sir, we came to ask you for a favor.” Zhang Youwei took the lead and bowed.

At this moment, Chief Zhou finally noticed a young man wearing a white robe sitting behind the counter.

He did not notice it at first because this young man was too quiet. So quiet that it seemed as if he had become one with this bookstore. It was incredibly natural.

The young man in white slowly raised his head and looked at the three of them indifferently. Then, he said softly, “Come over and talk.”

Only then did Zhang Youwei and Xu Pingqiu walk over.

Chief Zhou followed them with a sudden realization. Ever since he entered this bookstore, the two of them seemed to have stopped paying attention to him.

He didn’t understand why, but when he came to the counter and looked at the young man in white up close, he understood.

This young man was more worthy of Zhang Youwei and Xu Pingqiu’s attention. It was because of his temperament.

This was not a temperament that an ordinary person could have, not to mention that this person looked like he was only in his early 20s.

At this moment, the white-robed Luo Xiu was making tea.

After the three of them arrived, Luo Xiu took out a teacup and gently placed it on the table.

After filling it with tea, he pushed it before Zhang Youwei. Then, the second cup was for Xu Pingqiu. When it was the third cup, Luo Xiu finally opened his mouth, “This is…?”

Without waiting for Zhang Youwei and Xu Pingqiu to speak, Chief Zhou took the initiative to bow and respectfully introduced himself, “Hello, young sir. I am the Chief of the Los Angeles Public Security Bureau. My surname is Zhou. My name is Zhou Guowei.”

This level of respect made Zhang Youwei and Xu Pingqiu look at him again. At the same time, they admired Luo Xiu even more.

The aura he exuded was enough to make a high-level officer so respectful. Was this the aura of an immortal cultivator?

When they thought that the two of them might one day be able to reach such a state, they felt a wave of fanaticism. At the same time, the respect for Luo Xiu became even stronger.

Chief Zhou had already introduced himself.

Luo Xiu nodded slightly. Then, as he poured himself a cup of tea, he casually asked, “My surname is Luo, and I manage a small bookstore. Is there anything here that warrants Chief Zhou’s special visit?”

It sounded like he was asking Chief Zhou, but in reality, he was asking Zhang Youwei.

After all, Zhang Youwei had already said it when he entered. He had something he wanted to ask Luo Xiu about.

Zhang Youwei bowed to the white-robed Luo Xiu and said respectfully, “Sir, after Chief Zhou found out about my matter, he thought I had joined a cult. So, he wanted to confirm with his eyes whether the cultivation technique I practice is a cult. I didn’t dare to teach him without your permission, so I thought I would ask you first.”

Luo Xiu smiled faintly and finally raised his head, looking at Chief Zhou. This was the first time he had looked directly at Zhou Guowei.

Zhou Guowei was delighted, feeling that there was hope for him to get in on this, but in the next moment, what Luo Xiu asked made him slightly shocked.

“Director Zhou, do you think what Zhang Youwei is practicing is a cult technique? Or do you think that my bookstore is a cult lair?”

Zhou Guowei was shocked. Although Luo Xiu’s tone was neither hurried nor slow, from what he heard, it sounded like an accusation!

This could not be good.

Zhou Guowei did not realize that he already had a strong respect for this young man. The same respect that Zhang Youwei and Xu Pingqiu had.

“Umm, I…” Director Zhou did not know how to answer. If he admitted it, he would be slightly offending Luo Xiu, but if he denied it, he would have to release Zhang Youwei immediately.

At that time, who knew if Luo Xiu would be willing to teach him?

After coming in for a while, he had already seen that Luo Xiu was capable, although a part of it came from Xu Pingqiu and Zhang Youwei’s attitude toward Luo Xiu.

However, he was already extremely eager to learn the cultivation technique.

Now, he regretted it a little. He should not have threatened Zhang Youwei!

Just as he was in a dilemma, a phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the Avenue Bookstore.

This phone call was for Chief Zhou. The person who called was the Captain of the Luo City Fire Brigade!
