Cannot Endure

"Well said."

In a spacious room, a burly man with a thick, curly beard suddenly shouted his approval.

On the large screen in front of him was Wu Wei, who was speaking at that very moment.

He was giving Wu Wei a thumbs-up.

"Old Wang, look at him, then look at yourself. I truly find you embarrassing."

Old Wang gave a bitter smile. "He is the son of God Lin. Isn't it normal for him to be better than me?"

"Of course it's not normal. How old is he, and how old are you? Besides, what I like is this kid's way of thinking. At such a young age, he already possesses such a correct worldview. If I didn't know I wasn't qualified, I would really want to take this child as my successor." The burly man said with regret.

"Why don't you go ask him? What if you succeed?" Old Wang tempted him on purpose.

However, the burly man remained completely unmoved.

"The admirers of God Lin from back then would tear me to shreds. Old Wang, you're being underhanded."

Old Wang continued to smile, but the meaning behind this smile had changed.

"God Lin's son has grown up, too."

"Indeed. Back then, who could have imagined that God Lin would choose to have a child?"

The two fell silent, the image of a heroic woman appearing in both their minds.

That era of fluttering white robes.

That spirited, dashing woman.

That past which could never be returned to.

It was truly nostalgic.

"This kid must be under the watch of many people by now, right?" the burly man asked.

Old Wang nodded. "That goes without saying. The girl from the Lan Family chasing after Wu Wei has already become a piece of gossip at Imperial Capital University."

"The girl from the Lan Family? Lan Meng? Among our batch back then, Old Lan was indeed the one hurt the deepest. We all thought Old Lan had a real chance. Who could have guessed that God Lin would fall for that kind of man?"

Speaking of this, the bearded man shook his head, sighing with emotion.

"God Lin's taste in men is indeed not great, but this child she raised herself is no less talented than God Lin was back then. He is an out-and-out genius. Has the Dean decided how to arrange things for him?"

"How could I possibly know the Dean's considerations? I came here this time for this fox demon. Old Wang, you've been derelict in your duty. Imperial Capital University is under your protection, yet you let a fox demon stay under your nose for so long?"

Old Wang lowered his head in apology. "It is my fault. He hid himself too well and never did anything heinous. I had many face-to-face interactions with him and never discovered his true form."

This oversight had not caused any major consequences, and his past merits were enough to ensure he wouldn't be implicated by such a minor matter.

Therefore, Old Wang was not worried.

Looking at Old Wang, the bearded man shook his head once more.

"We'll talk about your affairs later. First, apprehend this vixen; she's said quite enough."

"As it should be."

Old Wang nodded and followed the bearded man to the room next door.

Yes, just next door.

His home was right beside "Professor Chi."

This was the very reason for his dereliction of duty.

"It's you, Professor Wang?"

Seeing Professor Wang appear in the room, "Professor Chi's" expression was one of extreme astonishment.

"You are actually an Awakened?"

It seemed that not only had "Professor Chi" fooled Old Wang, but Old Wang had also fooled "Professor Chi."

These two drama queens were truly something else.

Wu Wei silently gave them a thumbs-up in his heart, then took two steps back.

Running away after acting cool—how thrilling.

Little River Crab had not yet been birthed, so he preferred not to fight if he could avoid it; Wu Wei was very "prudent."

"Professor Chi, we've been neighbors for so many years. I never expected that I would have misjudged you. I am truly ashamed."

A long sword appeared in Old Wang's hand out of nowhere, and his entire demeanor instantly shifted from sleazy to peerlessly sharp.

Wu Wei raised an eyebrow.

A swordsman?

With so many weapons to choose from, why practice the sword?

He really couldn't wrap his head around it.

"Humans and demons cannot coexist. Professor Chi, my apologies."

Having said this, Old Wang charged straight forward.

The bearded man did not join the fray, instead moving to Wu Wei's side to provide cover for Old Wang.

"Does this feel like a grand xianxia blockbuster to you?" the big man asked Wu Wei.

Wu Wei curled his lip. "Not at all. It doesn't even have the flair of a wuxia film, let alone xianxia."

"That's because we've used a barrier to seal the surrounding space, weakening the abilities they can utilize by a hundredfold," the bearded man explained, then continued to ask Wu Wei, "Is the intelligence you gave me true?"

"You should know something about me by now, and you know my talent when it comes to the internet."

"Sigh, it's precisely because I know that I don't want to believe it."

"Actually, Grandpa Liu, you know deep down that the intelligence I gave you is true; you just don't want to believe it," Wu Wei said, turning his head with a very serious expression.

The bearded man clutched his chest, feeling as if he were struggling to breathe.

"Liu... Grandpa, are you serious?"

He wanted to kill someone.

I just have a few more whiskers than the average guy, is it really necessary?

Wu Wei looked puzzled. "Are you not even sixty years old yet this year?"

Another bloody stab to the heart.

The bearded man pointed at Wu Wei, at a loss for words.

Back in the day, I even pursued your mother.

I'm not the kind of guy who robs the cradle.

He felt a fire burning within him with nowhere to vent.

The bearded man gritted his teeth, then turned and lunged directly into the fray.

If he didn't vent, he was going to end up with depression.

However, with him venting like this, someone was destined to be unlucky.

"Old Liu, you've come just in time."

"Old Liu, you..."

Professor Wang had a dagger plunged into his abdomen, which was rapidly being stained red with blood.

He stared at the bearded man in disbelief, his face a mask of shock.

The bearded man let out a long sigh.

"Old Wang, don't blame me. If you walk the wrong path, you have to pay the price."

"Indeed, you can't blame Uncle Liu. Professor Wang, you had far too many flaws. As the 'neighbor next door,' you expect us to believe you didn't discover the true identity of 'Professor Chi'? Who exactly are you insulting with that logic?" Wu Wei said quietly.

Professor Wang: "..."

"Now, there is only one question left: who was the person who killed Professor Chi back then?"

Wu Wei looked at "Professor Chi" and Professor Wang, his expression calm.

"Your answers will determine who dies first."

Back then, the adulterer caught in bed was none other than Professor Wang.

"How did you find out it was me?" Professor Wang stared fixedly at Wu Wei, his inner emotions complex.

"Because of 'Professor Chi's' internet browsing history. Of course, in the final analysis, it was you, Professor Wang, who courted death. Cheating was one thing, but you just had to play with equipment. Playing with equipment was one thing, but you just had to upload it to a website. If you had shared it for free, that would be one thing, but you just had to set it behind a paywall. Mr. 61, tell me, since I discovered this behavior of yours, how could I possibly tolerate it?"

He used to think these gentlemen were all selfless, good-hearted people benefiting thousands of fellow perverts.

Once Wu Wei investigated, he discovered that, one by one, they had actually made millions by filming these videos.

It was intolerable.
