97: Section 97

"But many students are late bloomers, and Lin Yi is exactly that kind of person!"

"In the second semester of his senior year, not long after school started, his talent finally began to manifest!"

"Back then, I remember calling you no fewer than five times, didn't I?"

After Teacher Liu Song finished speaking, Lin Dazhi furrowed his brows and tried to recall.

As it turned out, he couldn't remember anything after a long while, so he shook his head awkwardly.

"You certainly can't remember, because you never once valued Lin Yi's academic performance!"

"Do you remember the time I went to your workplace to find you, wanting to talk about Lin Yi, and you refused me just the same..."

"I don't know what kind of reason could make a father treat his own biological son this way!"

"Now I just want to tell you that Lin Yi has realized his potential, and in the future, he will surely achieve great things on the path of the Dao!"

After Teacher Liu Song finished speaking, Lin Dazhi was completely stunned.

With Teacher Liu Song's reminder, his lost memories finally began to return bit by bit.

Teacher Liu Song had indeed called him several times, wanting to discuss Lin Yi.

But he hadn't given Teacher Liu Song any chance at all, hanging up on him immediately.

There was also that time Teacher Liu Song came to his workplace to find him, and Lin Dazhi hadn't given him a kind look either...

Back then, he had been like someone possessed, having already decided that this was all there was to Lin Yi's future.

Investing money in him was just a waste. Moreover, he had pinned all his hopes on Lin Yu.

If only he had stopped to listen to a few words from Teacher Liu Song back then, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Teacher Liu, are... are you telling the truth?"

Lin Dazhi's face was full of shock as he looked at Teacher Liu Song in disbelief.

Teacher Liu Song smiled and nodded. "Mr. Lin, if I may speak frankly, since you remarried, have you ever had a proper conversation with Lin Yi?"

"Or rather, have you ever asked him what path he wants to take in the future?"

Lin Dazhi fell into silence. These questions were like knives, stabbing fiercely into his heart.

It seemed... ever since he married Liu Hongmei, his care for Lin Yi had gradually diminished.

When he learned that Lin Yi's martial arts talent wasn't that outstanding during his first and second years of high school, he gradually gave up on him...

Teacher Liu Song gave Lin Dazhi a deep look and picked up the textbooks on the desk.

"Mr. Lin, I have a class, so I won't be able to keep you company!"

After saying that, Teacher Liu Song left the office. At that moment, Lin Dazhi looked like a man who had lost his soul as he left the school.

...

The night was deep. The entire city had fallen into a deep slumber.

Apart from the dim streetlights along the roads, it was hard to see even a single car.

There were rarely any pedestrians on the streets, only some homeless people curled up in corners, sleeping. Tonight, not even scavengers could be seen.

A homeless man hiding in a corner was woken up by a full bladder. He opened his eyes groggily and stood up from the ground.

He swayed as he prepared to relieve himself. Just as he stood steady, took his stance, and prepared to whip it out...

Suddenly, a figure came running out of the alley, panting heavily, "huff, huff."

Upon seeing that dark shadow, the homeless man's heart trembled. Although they had long since disregarded life and death—for them, death was a form of liberation—

still, when death was truly before their eyes, fear would inevitably arise from the depths of their hearts.

In the dim light, he could vaguely see that it was a Dog Demon that had not yet fully transformed...

Just as he thought the Dog Demon was coming for him, whoosh—it flashed right past him, as if it hadn't seen him at all.

After a long while, the homeless man patted his chest. Had he really just escaped a disaster like that?

Just as he was about to continue what he had started, he realized his urine... had already been expelled. "Damn it!"

He looked at his wet pants and couldn't help but curse. He then walked out of the alley, wanting to see where the Dog Demon had gone.

As it turned out... the Dog Demon had been intercepted by a person wearing a clown mask. He was wearing a black trench coat and holding a long blade. Although his face couldn't be seen,

the homeless man could feel that his gaze was full of contempt and disdain for the Dog Demon.

Facing the clown, the Dog Demon shivered uncontrollably, staggering backward.

This scene shocked the homeless man even more. He had been wandering outside for some years and had seen too many incidents of Yao Beasts hunting humans.

A dozen or so people who had once wandered with him had become midnight snacks for Yao Beasts. Others had been cruelly killed by vicious and wicked people.

But today, the Yao Beast was being forced back again and again by a human. Its shivering appearance showed that it was very afraid now. This made the homeless man even more curious. Who on earth... was that person wearing the clown mask?

Pfft—the next moment, the person wearing the clown mask slashed and killed the Dog Demon before him with a single strike of his blade, not even letting the Dog Demon let out a scream.

He then stored the body into a storage Magical Artifact. The entire process took less than a minute.

The homeless man was stunned, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor. Suddenly, the clown glanced in his direction.

A pair of cold eyes made the homeless man shiver all over. At that moment, his body felt as if it had been petrified.

Fortunately, the clown didn't do anything to him, and then disappeared into the night.

After a long while, the homeless man finally recovered from the shock. He hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked at the empty street; there was no one there.

Everything that had just happened felt like a dream. He rushed over to that spot, only to find a pool of blood left on the road. The body of the Dog Demon was gone, and the person wearing the clown mask had also vanished.
