Zhou Nan’s relationship with Professor Ge was not merely that of an ordinary teacher-student bond, but to be more specific, Zhou Nan was the last and most favored disciple taken in by Professor Ge.
In ancient times, the bond between a disciple and their mentor was hardly different from that of a father and son.
Zhou Nan and Professor Ge shared a closeness that surpassed the typical teacher-student relationship, and upon seeing the yellow soil on the ground, Senior Zhou Nan felt his scalp explode!
His teacher was getting old, and his digestion wasn’t great— who knew if this damned graveyard soil was harmful? If he ate this stuff and ended up in the hospital, then what?
The more Zhou Nan thought about it, the more anxious he became, already harboring a trace of resentment towards Bai Chuwei in his heart.
Professor Ge crouched down, grabbed a handful of soil, and couldn’t help the thought that sprung to mind—this was graveyard soil, right?
Eating it might well send one to the hospital.
All for the sake of archaeology...
In front of everyone, Professor Ge took a deep breath, "Today, I’ll be going live..."
At that instant, his wrist was seized by that cool and warm hand, gently lifting it and scattering the soil from Professor Ge’s hand, as a lazy, smiling voice suddenly appeared, "Hey kids, long time no see."
There it was, Bai Chuwei’s signature address to others—"kids" had made an appearance!
The moment Bai Chuwei appeared on camera, the live stream was flooded with a barrage of excited screaming comments, and within minutes, it soared to the top spot on the Xianyu Video APP’s live broadcast rankings, its popularity astoundingly high.
Bai Chuwei signaled Zhou Nan to take the phone camera for a walk around the archaeological site, as if to give everyone a live tour.
Bai Chuwei—truly clever!
Xu Xingchen, who was making notes not far away, wore a look of disappointment. If Bai Chuwei had been just one second later, allowing Professor Ge to eat the soil to seek her counsel, he could have destroyed her image.
Bullying an elderly professor would have definitely stirred up public outrage, and Imperial University’s administration would have had to punish Bai Chuwei.
But now... Bai Chuwei had arrived! Nothing happened. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Xu Xingchen felt a brief blockage in his chest, a pang of heartache.
Professor Ge’s face reddened, confronting Bai Chuwei, "What’s the big deal about eating soil? I can take it!"
Bai Chuwei glanced at him, her tone cool, "And wind up in the hospital, letting everyone know that I, Bai Chuwei, bullied an elderly professor and acted like a diva on the archaeological site?"
"So, who exactly suggested this? They’re really looking out for me, aren’t they?"
Xu Xingchen’s heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated in his actions, quickly bowing his head, not daring to look up, faintly sensing Bai Chuwei’s gaze drifting toward him.
All he did at the dining table was speak the truth; it wasn’t really his concern.
Bai Chuwei cast a cold glance, her lips slowly curling into a mocking sneer.
Xu Xingchen truly lived up to being Heavenly Dao’s favored son—he almost managed to trick her ancestral elder right in front of her eyes.
Good, she’d see how to deal with him later.
Professor Ge waved his hands, his tone anxious, "Bai, this isn’t important. What should we do about this tomb?"
Bai Chuwei’s lips parted slightly, "Fill it in, don’t open it."
As these words fell, the surrounding professors all crowded in, completely panicked.
"Not open it? The tomb has already been reported, we can’t not open it."
Professor Ge stated bluntly, "Yinhua High School’s new stadium has already damaged the outer structures of the tomb chamber, this is a rescue excavation to prevent further damage to the artifacts inside! It will also attract the attention of tomb robbers in the future."
Archaeology was not like tomb raiding; archaeologists never initiated digging but strived to protect cultural relics.
Seeing Bai Chuwei hesitate slightly, Professor Sun stroked his chin’s beard, coming up with a daring guess—!!
