What should you do when you discover your good brother was secretly a troll? Asking online, urgently waiting.
But urgency was useless.
It was already too late.
Brutus had already stabbed Caesar to death.
Huai Shi did not know how Caesar had felt when he was stabbed by the traitor he trusted most, but right now, Huai Shi felt panicked. Extremely panicked.
Especially beneath the curious gazes of all the visitors.
Public humiliation was right around the corner.
Especially since actual death might be waiting right behind that public humiliation.
Huai Shi felt the temperature in his head shoot straight up, steam practically pouring out. Every brain cell raced madly, every current of nerve electricity leaped between the folds of his brain, and every thought collided violently within his soul, throwing off sparks.
False Wisdom lit up on the title page of the Book of Destiny.
In that instant, the darkness of his desperate situation was torn open, and Huai Shi grasped that ray of hope!
In the brief instant when he turned back, his expression had already shifted from panic to serenity, filled with composure and calm, as though everything before him was merely a breeze brushing past his face.
All worldly desires and panic were gone. He smiled while holding a flower, his expression solemn and dignified.
"My apologies for the spectacle."
Huai Shi said gently, "As everyone knows, as a member of the Heavenly Kingdom Lineage and the principal's secretary at the Ivory Tower, it is only natural that I have dealings with other lineages, right?
We are all good friends. We took some pictures as proof of our achievements. I never expected them to be hung up here. I'm truly sorry."
After a pause, he looked toward the visitors behind him and flashed a professional smile.
