Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1212 - 69: Unreliable Classmate

Xu Chenhui not only gave the four a "legal education," but also put down his chopsticks and sat cross-legged on the chair like a monk to demonstrate to them.

The four of them looked at each other, thinking in unison that this guy had gone too far with his cultivation and lost his mind.

"Chenhui, practice later, eat first, have some more."

"Oh, thank you."

"Chenhui, it's almost New Year, what are your plans?"

"I am my master's disciple. I not only have to cultivate the Great Method but also spread and promote it. This is a deed of infinite merit. Only when more people practice the Great Method can one attain perfection. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the park, set up a practice spot, and when enough people are practicing the Great Method, I'll establish a guidance station."

Afraid that his old classmates might not understand, Xu Chenhui added, "Only when more people practice and practice together can the master's dharma body descend, and our cultivation will be much more effective."

Tang Wentai asked in astonishment, "Are you starting a Qigong training class, are you here to recruit disciples?"

"Only charlatans start training classes. I'm here to spread the teaching; I don't take people's money, nor do I have the qualification to accept disciples. Only the master can take disciples."

"But you still need to eat and live."

"Those things don't matter. Didn't I go three days without food without a problem? Tang Xuanzang faced eighty-one hardships on his journey to the west; what is this hardship to me? From the way here from Hanwu, I clearly felt my level improve."

"..."

"I know you're all atheists and don't believe me. It's okay. I'll give you a few books on cultivation techniques later. You'll see that only by abandoning worldly fame, profit, and emotions can you cultivate into a Buddha, Tao, or God. You'll eventually believe!"

Han Yu suddenly realized that he, Tang Wentai, and Fan Yihua had become Chenhui's first "teaching" targets in Binjiang, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

Tang Wentai also realized this and didn't want to be entangled, so he quickly changed the subject, "Chenhui, have you been in contact with Tang Zhijun over the years, how is he now?"

"No, I haven't."

"You haven't contacted him either?"

"We were in the same class, I shouldn't speak ill of him behind his back, but he really is a fraud. Don't contact him; it won't end well for him, there's no benefit in contacting him."

Even though there's all sorts of people in this world, having two oddballs in one class is too much.

Thinking of the equally unreliable Tang Zhijun, Tang Wentai didn't ask any more questions.

When conversations don't go well, even half a sentence is too much. Han Yu and Han Xiangning didn't want to hear more about the Great Method from Xu Chenhui, so after dinner, they planned to take Xu Chenhui to the lodging and then head home with Tang Wentai and Fan Yihua.

They had barely taken a few steps when Tang Wentai and Fan Yihua caught up.

"Salted Fish, what do we do now?"

"He's here to stay with you, not with me, why ask me?"

Han Yu sympathized with Tang Wentai's predicament, and, upon thinking about it, laughed and asked, "He owes me money, and I haven't even asked him for it, what do you want me to do?"

Tang Wentai, torn between laughing and crying, said, "You heard it just now, he's so deep into his cultivation that he doesn't even care if he eats, where would he get money to pay you back."

Just as Han Xiangning was about to speak, Fan Yihua, rubbing his eyes, said, "You three, I feel terrible, I'm heading back."

"Teacher Fan, what are you doing? Xu Chenhui is not just my classmate, he's yours too, you can't just leave!"

"Salted Fish made it clear, he's looking for you, not me."

"I... What did I do to deserve this!"

"You are the class monitor, I can't take it anymore, I'm leaving first, you guys chat."

Fan Yihua made an excuse about a cold and slipped away.

Tang Wentai had no choice but to look at Han Yu with a bitter smile and said, "Brother, Old Fan's not being faithful, you have to help me think of a plan."

"Faced with someone like him, what can I do, lock him up in a detention center so he spends New Year's in a cell?"

"For someone like him, really locking him up in a detention center wouldn't be a bad thing, might make him calm down and learn how to be a person!"

"Say something useful." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"What do you want me to say?"

Tang Wentai sighed softly and said helplessly, "If he can't get by and wants to find a job, I can find a company in the development zone for him to work at. But all he knows is practicing some Great Method, he's set on perfecting himself, hoping to ascend and leave the earth, he fundamentally can't or won't want to work.

If he wants to go home, I can buy him a ticket and give him some money to send him off early. But he's intent on spreading the teaching in Binjiang, even if you chase him away, he won't go. I've had the worst luck to come across such a classmate!"

Han Yu sympathized with his plight, smiling and asking, "How many days did you pay for his room?"

"Three days."

"How much did you give him just now?"

"Fifty."

"You treated him to a meal, paid for three days of lodging, and gave him fifty, you're a better classmate than I am, you've done enough for him, are you planning to take care of him forever?"

"Are you saying to leave him be, let him fend for himself?"

Having made it to technical school but not applying himself, instead getting obsessed with UFOs, and now practicing some technique to ascend during the day, what is this?

Han Yu, deeply disgusted with Xu Chenhui for borrowing money and not paying it back, responded without thinking, "Find an excuse, say you're going back to your hometown for the New Year, let's see what he does."

Tang Wentai looked back, lowered his voice and said, "Isn't that a bit wrong?"

"What other choice do you have?"

"During New Year, leaving him alone makes me uneasy."
