The slap in the face came rather quickly, and Professor Hu was completely unprepared.
Grandmaster said, enunciating every word, "This very Tang Tianming is stopping the Underworld Deputy from taking your soul. He has also prepared seven people to perform Life Extension for you. The seven corpses you dreamed about were the ones he prepared for you. He can keep you alive."
Professor Hu froze for a long while, finding it rather unbelievable. "Why would he do that? He and I... only met once. We weren't particularly close."
Grandmaster did not answer yet, asking instead, "When did he come to see you? How many times have you met?"
Professor Hu said, "Almost a year ago, I suppose. We only met once. Later, when he wanted to make a charitable donation, we also spoke over the phone."
Almost a year meant less than a year.
That meant Tang Tianming had come to see Professor Hu after Wu Huaqing died.
"Before he came to see you, he already had something in his possession-an evil art called seven deaths for a life."
Grandmaster briefly explained how seven deaths for a life worked to Professor Hu, then continued, "He has already killed many people with this evil art. The reason he won't let you die and is taking the initiative to use seven deaths for a life to perform Life Extension for you is that he hopes you'll join them and help him research a way to circumvent the flaws in his fate pattern."
"He came to see you before to test whether you were a real master or a fraud. You demonstrated perfectly that you were a real master."
Professor Hu took out his phone with trembling hands, both helpless and furious. "The police. I'm calling the police to have him arrested."
