Bai Chuwei gave a smile that wasn’t quite a smile and dropped a sentence before returning to her dormitory, "Professor Sun, the Immortal Teacher never lies."
These four words struck Professor Sun’s heart like several stones, causing ripples to spread.
It wasn’t that Professor Sun was unaware of Bai Chuwei, the Immortal Teacher; whether it was the Chinese System or the Earthquake Sensor, at the beginning... truly no one believed!
Even the director of "Super Brain Scholar" said during an interview with a wry smile that he couldn’t eat or sleep well at that time, always feeling that Bai Chuwei would lead their program to a complete disaster.
And what did the facts prove?
The Immortal Teacher did as she said!
The Chinese System was realized, the Earthquake Sensor freed China from the threat of earthquakes forever. Earthquakes had become like weather forecasts, and later, when she led the contestants to create a submarine capable of diving ten thousand meters, it gained worldwide attention.
Now no one doubted the inventions she had announced on the "Super Brain Scholar" show.
The Immortal Teacher never lies!
Professor Sun’s heart lurched, and despite the cold winter, he was startled into a light sweat on his forehead. A terrifying conjecture began to form in his mind—
Could it be that everything Bai Chuwei mentioned in the meeting room was true?
He wasn’t sure yet whether this place was Emperor Duanjing’s tomb or not.
But... Bai Chuwei said that this place was once a sea.
All of a sudden, he remembered the question that Bai Chuwei got wrong during the final exam.
Where is Emperor Duanjing’s mausoleum buried? Bai Chuwei wrote—Eternal County in Zhongzhou!!
Bai Chuwei was so sure...
Professor Sun muttered to himself, his brain racing.
He quickly recalled that a thousand years ago, the land beneath their feet was indeed called Eternal County! Could it be such a coincidence?
Professor Sun couldn’t resist biting his tongue to clear his head. He hurriedly turned to Bai Chuwei’s classmates, the interns who came to run errands at the archaeological site, and spoke with extreme urgency, "Xiaoliu, right? You must go to the Zhongzhou Archaeological Bureau and borrow all the local records of Zhongzhou!"
The intern was baffled: "Huh? Professor Sun, do you really believe the tall tales Bai Chuwei told in the meeting room?"
Professor Sun glared back, "Hurry up!"
The intern shivered with fear and quickly borrowed a car to go to the Zhongzhou Archaeological Bureau to collect the records.
Has Professor Sun... also gone mad? To actually believe Bai Chuwei’s crazy talk?
Turns out... they were all just there to be errand runners for the professors, and Bai Chuwei wasn’t?
Intern Xiaoliu moved with lightning speed, managing to bring back all the local records he could borrow in about an hour, amounting to half a van’s worth.
Professor Sun put on his reading glasses in advance, took the first record, and instructed the other interns, "Hurry up and check if there’re any historical records of a sea in Eternal County."
A group of people around looked at Professor Sun with eyes that were difficult to describe.

The group held their breath and earnestly started flipping through the records.
No one knew where she was.
It wasn’t until the kitchen staff called them to eat, that Professor Sun seemed to be glued down to his seat, unwilling even to have his meal.
Professor Ge held his boxed meal, staring dumbfounded at Professor Sun leading a group of interns frantically searching through the records. Had they all been drugged by Bai Chuwei? Did they really believe her?
