Without saying a word, Zhou Ping rolled up his sleeves and quickly started washing the dishes.

After finishing all that, Zhou Ping took a rag and mop and cleaned the warehouse inside and out again, making it look brand new.

……

"Ah~"

Cao Yuan stretched and walked out of the dormitory. When he saw the tidy warehouse, his mouth gaped open for a long time.

Gu Tianchen came out and asked with a smile, "What are you spacing out for so early in the morning? Did you see a ghost?"

Cao Yuan pointed to the warehouse not far away and asked uncertainly, "Is this really a ghost? Is this the warehouse we saw last night?"

As Baili Pangpang brushed his teeth, he walked over and said, "It must have been the Snail Fairy who did it."

Lin Qiye sensed Zhou Ping's presence; he was mopping the open space behind the warehouse.

“Someone broke in last night,” Lin Qiye frowned, “and none of us even noticed his presence!”

Even Best, who possesses extraordinary perception, looked completely bewildered.

The man in the black shirt was incredibly powerful, almost like a god, but he gave off the feeling of a sword hidden in its sheath.

It may seem unremarkable at first glance, but once unsheathed, its sharpness is fully revealed; there's nothing it can't resolve with a single strike...

"Such powerful sword intent..." Best narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Let's go take a look."

When everyone approached Zhou Ping, Baili Pangpang spoke first and asked:

"Hello, are you the new cleaning staff?"

Zhou Ping:......

"Ahem," Zhou Ping said, gripping the mop tightly and looking down, "You guys sit and wait a bit. I'll come over after I finish mopping this last bit."

After saying that, Zhou Ping mopped the floor much faster than before, and left as if he were fleeing from something.

Cao Yuan nodded, and said thoughtfully, "I understand."

"What do you understand?" Gu Tianchen asked curiously.

"Our first lesson is... tidying up our rooms!"

Everyone: ...

……

Five minutes later.

The crowd stood in a row, waiting for Zhou Ping's arrival.

Zhou Ping walked over, habitually looking down at the ground, a few water droplets still remaining on the sleeves of his black shirt.

His demeanor didn't resemble that of a night watchman; he seemed more like a restaurant waiter who had just finished cleaning the kitchen.

"May I ask who you are...?" Lin Qiye asked tentatively.

"I'm the teacher Ye Fan found to give you a comprehensive education class. I should have arrived earlier, but last night that used van broke down on the way."

Everyone: ...

Zhou Ping continued, "My name is Zhou Ping, the 'Ping' in 'plain and unremarkable'."

Zhou Ping?

Apart from Gu Tianchen, everyone looked at each other, indicating that they seemed to have never heard of this name before.

Baili Pangpang greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Teacher Zhou!"

Zhou Ping's body stiffened, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... don't call me teacher."

Lin Qiye frowned and tentatively asked, "Then how should I address you? For example, what is your position in the Night Watch...?"

“I am not a night watchman, and I do not hold any official position,” Zhou Ping said, shaking his head.

The doubts in everyone's eyes deepened, but Gu Tianchen silently suppressed a laugh as he looked Zhou Ping up and down.

The socially awkward swordsman is so cute!

Sure enough, i people are just toys for e people!

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. Zhou Ping nervously rubbed the corner of his clothes and said:

"Um... if you really don't know what to call me, just call me... Sword Saint, like everyone else."

"Sword! Sword! Sword! Sword! Sword!" Baili Pangpang's eyes widened. "Sword Saint?!?"

"You are the number one 'sword' among the human elites?!"

"The ceiling of humanity... Actually, I don't really like this name," Zhou Ping said softly.

“You… just call me Sword Saint,” Zhou Ping said earnestly.

Chapter 206 I Became a Saint by Reading Novels

"Sword Saint Senior!"

The entire Fifth Special Squad bowed to Zhou Ping, which made Zhou Ping somewhat flustered, and he even wanted to turn around and run away.

He'd rather fight a god with a sword than deal with these young people.

Washing dishes and mopping floors is okay, but being a teacher... is too hard!!!

Gu Tianchen noticed Zhou Ping's unease and quickly spoke up to defuse the situation, saying that they only had one Sword Saint and they didn't want him to break.

"Senior Sword Saint, what is our training plan for today?"

Zhou Ping then abandoned his idea of ​​running away, gave Gu Tianchen a grateful look, and pointed to a corner of the warehouse not far away.

In a corner of the warehouse, several neatly arranged cardboard boxes were placed.

"That's the teaching material for your training plan today."

After Zhou Ping finished speaking, Gu Tianchen rushed over, carried all the cardboard boxes by himself, and distributed them to everyone.

When everyone opened the cardboard box, they found it was filled with books, neatly arranged inside.

Lin Qiye took out a book and slowly read aloud, "The Moonlit Blade?"

Everyone took out a book.

"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber?"

"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer?"

"The Legend of Zhen Huan???" Baili Pangpang frowned as he looked at the book in his hand.

Zhou Ping quickly snatched the copy of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" from Baili Pangpang's hands and hid it behind his back, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Ahem, this isn't it, I put it in the wrong place."

Cao Yuan asked with a puzzled look, "Aren't these all novels? How come they're textbooks?"

Zhou Ping said seriously, "These are the textbooks I selected for you. Your task this morning is... to read novels."

Everyone was completely confused. Reading a novel?

What kind of training is this?

Surely no one can really become a martial arts master just by reading novels?

Lin Qiye looked at Zhou Ping and asked with a puzzled expression, "Senior Sword Saint, can reading novels really improve one's strength?"

Zhou Ping said earnestly, "Of course, I learned my swordsmanship from novels."

Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow, clearly disbelieving. "Senior Sword Saint, are you joking?"

Zhou Ping looked into Shen Qingzhu's eyes and said seriously, "I never joke. My swordsmanship is all learned from novels. You can try it too."

Looking at Zhou Ping's sincere expression, everyone suddenly felt that this seemingly absurd method might actually be able to improve their strength...

Since it was the training program arranged by the Sword Saint, they had no choice but to follow it.

Since he was the Sword Saint, the rest of them had no chance to resist.

The fifth demolition team set up their small stools and sat in a row, then began to read the novel intently.

On the roof of the warehouse, Best transformed into a black kitten, lazily basking in the sun, absorbing solar energy through his golden mask to heal his injuries.

Below the warehouse, a row of people were intently reading novels in their hands.

Zhou Ping nodded with great satisfaction and turned to leave.

Jialan read "The Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain" attentively, humbly asking Lin Qiye for help with any unfamiliar words or sentences he didn't understand.

Lin Qiye was reading "The Magic Blade," hoping to glean some insights from Fu Hongxue's swordsmanship.

Shen Qingzhu was holding a copy of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer." At first, she could concentrate on reading, but soon she started yawning incessantly and eventually, unsurprisingly, fell asleep...

An Qingyu was reading "The Return of the Condor Heroes," and her mind was full of thoughts about how to dissect the condor and install a Qilin arm on Yang Guo!

Baili Pangpang looked at "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and muttered to himself.

"Little Zhao is so cute, she would be even cuter in a maid outfit..."

"Zhiruo is also great. She's the white moonlight in the beginning, and a yandere villain in the end. I love her..."

"Princess Minmin, with her strong female lead persona, should be paired with a small leather whip. Please, Your Majesty, whip me mercilessly!!!"

Cao Yuan held "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" in his hands. When he came to the part about the Sweeper Monk, he threw away the small stool he was sitting on, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to study Buddhism.

Gu Tianchen held a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in his hands, nodding thoughtfully as he read.

"The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people!!!"

Upon seeing the exciting part, Gu Tianchen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, which startled Shen Qingzhu, who was in her sleep, causing her to fall off her small stool.

Seeing the unfriendly looks from everyone, Gu Tianchen smiled and scratched his head, saying awkwardly, "Sorry, I got too into character. Please continue, please continue."

Shen Qingzhu rolled her eyes and sat up again. "You're crazy. What are you pretending for, you academic failure?"

Gu Tianchen ignored him and continued reading the novel intently, muttering to himself and repeating himself over and over.

"The way of Heaven is to take from what is excessive and give to what is insufficient; therefore, emptiness overcomes fullness, and insufficiency overcomes excess. Its meaning is profound, its principle is abstruse, and its interest is deep..."

After reading for the entire morning, everyone was so captivated by the exciting storyline that they completely forgot their original purpose of reading the novel: to improve their strength.
