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

Simply put, all outdoor activities are suspended, and you should just focus on your academic classes.

After Chen Guan finished reading, he looked up.

"Teacher, what's the difference between this and being confined to the house?"

Teacher Zhou thought for a moment: "Being confined to the house requires writing a self-criticism, but this one doesn't."

Chen Guan: "..."

Why not write a self-criticism?

Teacher Zhou patted him on the shoulder.

"The academy doesn't want to stop you forever, it just hopes you can rest more. Besides, you've just returned, and the impact of what happened before on you is still unknown. Dean Situ wants to stay at the school for a longer period of observation. At the school, you can have someone to take care of you."

Chen Guan put the watch into his storage ring.

It's hard to refute this, because it's also Teacher Situ's way of showing good intentions.

He couldn't very well say that he had welded the famous sword to his body, could he?

He spent the rest of the morning in the Basic Ability Assessment Room.

The assessor looked at his test data with an expression similar to that of the people in the medical building last night.

The instrument showed that Chen Guan's breathing was stable, his physical strength, recovery ability, and mental strength were all above average, but there was still a gap in his mental waveband.

The assessor stared at the screen for a long time before finally writing a line on the form.

[It is not recommended to use standard evaluation criteria.]

Chen Guan stood to the side: "Then how should we evaluate the suggestion?"

The teacher adjusted his glasses: "My suggestion is to minimize assessments."

Chen Guan felt that Hua Qing's teachers had begun to avoid him.

Around noon, he went to the cafeteria for lunch.

This time, there were even more people.

Many students pretended to be passing by, but were actually looking at him. Chen Guan had already noticed several people walking back and forth, counting their steps.

Chen Guan, carrying his tray, overheard someone at the next table say, "I heard from the student council that the photo frame from last night has been sealed away."

Another person asked, "Where is it sealed off?"

"Crisis Education Resource Room"

"Where's the title?"

"I heard it's called 'read file'."

Chen Guan's chopsticks, which were about to pick up food, stopped in mid-air.

Long Ao, sitting opposite him, couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

An Changqing's expression was not good.

Hongyuan seemed quite interested: "Can we visit?"

An Changqing immediately looked at her, staring intently.

Hongyuan immediately obeyed, lowering her head to eat: "I was just asking."

"I'll just take a look." An Changqing withdrew his gaze.

After Chen Guan finished his meal, he got up and walked back to his dormitory. An Changqing immediately followed him a couple of steps.

Chen Guan turned around: "I'm going back to my dorm."

An Changqing looked at him: "Lunch break?"

"Um."

Long Ao asked from the side, "Aren't we going to the school gate?"

Chen Guan said, "I'm not going."

Hongyuan asked, "Aren't we going to the battle platform?"

"I'm not going."

An Changqing then asked, "Not contacting the northern border?"

"No, I'm not going." Chen Guan paused for a moment. "There are so many talented people here, and they all speak so nicely. I love it here."

That sounds problematic.

An Changqing looked at him, but did not ask any further questions.

After returning to his dormitory, Chen Guan closed the door.

There were no footsteps outside the corridor, but he could sense that at least two presences were still nearby.

One is at the top of the stairs.

One is at the end of the corridor.

As for Hongyuan, she most likely found a sunny spot outside the dormitory building to squat down, since it's a boys' dormitory.

Barr laughed and said, "You're so popular, it's like you're in jail."

Chen Guan hung up his coat and sat down at the table.

"Even prisoners get time for outdoor exercise."

"If you really run away, they will be very sad."

Chen Guan sighed, wondering how he could explain that he really hadn't intended to run away. Why would he keep running outside if he had nothing better to do?

He took out a token from his storage ring.

It was his Xuanwu token.

Chen Guan placed the Xuanwu token on the table and pressed his fingertip against the emblem in the center of the token.

A dark luster rose from inside the token, like a layer of water being pushed aside by the wind.

The water within the Xuanwu token rippled gently, and the next second, the voice of the White Tiger emanated from the token.

"Oh, what a rare guest."

There were sounds of wind and metal clanging in the background, which didn't sound like it was indoors.

Baihu's tone remained lazy.

Chen Guan looked at the token: "I just returned from the Northern Border yesterday."

"I know."

A beastly roar came from the White Tiger's side: "You also signed the academy's photo frame while you were at it."

Chen Guan: "..."

Baihu chuckled: "I have reviewed it and will not use it for the time being. It's quite creative. If the Guiyuan Group ever needs to implement a body handover procedure in the future, I will consider using it."

Chen Guan's face darkened. "This is monstrous."

"You read forums too?"

"I enjoy reading your news; I like to search for my subordinates when I'm bored."

The noise around Baihu's place has gotten a bit louder; he must have moved to a different location, as there's less background noise.

"Speak, what do you want? You should be under the watchful eyes of An Changqing, Long Ao, and Hong Yuan right now. The fact that you can find time to contact me certainly doesn't mean you're just asking about your boss's health."

Chen Guan frowned slightly. This evil big cat seemed to have been monitoring him all along: "You know quite a lot."

Baihu said in a cheerful tone, "Who am I? I'm a reliable, top-notch boss."

Barr scoffed in Chen Guan's mind: "Reliable people don't usually emphasize their reliability like this."

Chen Guan silently complained in his heart, just like a kind-hearted demon god wouldn't claim to be kind.

He cut to the chase: "What's the situation with that coffin in the North?"

After a few seconds, he spoke: "Oh? You know I took over full responsibility for that matter?"

"Um."

Baihu continued helplessly, "The Great Wall has taken over the coffin in the North. You don't need to go there now, and you won't be able to see it anyway. There are three layers of blockade outside and three layers inside, and a group of old guys are watching it."

"Well, I can't be too blatant about this. After all, it was Kong Chen who dragged me into this. My illegal and disorderly conduct also affects him. If he finds out, he'll definitely fight me. You don't want to see your good boss fighting with someone else, do you?"

After wallowing in self-pity for a while, Baihu returned to the main topic and continued, "I will handle the coffin in the Northern Territory. After some time, once the blockade is stable, I will take you to see it."

Chen Guan looked up: "How long?"

"Let's see when it stops making a fuss."

"It'll make a fuss?"

"meeting."

Baihu spoke with the casualness of someone talking about a disobedient little animal.

"Last night, Liangwen was there to cover the retreat this morning. Half an hour ago, he even scared away a tenth-tier snowfield demon king. That demon king was originally surrounded by the Great Wall, but when it got close to the valley, it turned around and ran faster than anyone else."

Chen Guan paused for a moment, then said, "That sounds quite useful."

"Don't even think about touching it."

The White Tiger gave a prompt reminder.

"The northern border is in chaos right now. The beast tide has receded, and the pressure on the defense line has eased, but no one dares to relax. What can scare away the monsters may not necessarily be on our side."

Chen Guan nodded; he made a mental note of those words.

What can scare away monsters may not be on people's side.

Baihu usually speaks in a frivolous manner, but he is never ambiguous when it comes to important matters.

Chen Guan put aside the first question for the time being and reached into his storage ring to take out another token.

Azure Dragon Token.

The Azure Dragon Token, missing a corner, lay in his palm, its azure patterns incomplete.

The watery light on the Xuanwu token shimmered more noticeably after the Qinglong token appeared.

Chen Guan looked at it: "There's one more thing."
