"What do you mean by 'god of the underworld'?" Li Yang didn't take it seriously. "A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of the way!"

Mu Liangyue whispered, "No, this is Su Yuan, the math genius from Imperial University!"

His gaze fell on the woman with a gentle smile beside him, and he became even more certain, "This is Ning Xiaoxi."

Li Yang was taken aback. After all, they were both from the academic circle, so he naturally knew these two people, especially Su Yuan, who had even been trending on social media before.

When the science-themed challenge show "Tower of Wisdom" became a huge hit, some people kept bringing up Su Yuan, wanting to see a showdown between the two geniuses, Su Yuan and Lu Lingchen.

Su Yuan himself did not respond, but a professor from the Department of Mathematics at Imperial University denounced it as absurd.

Marketing accounts then embellished the video online, inciting netizens to insult the professor. Unexpectedly, this backfired, as Beijing University confronted them, questioning their motives for such sensationalism and stating that academic work is not a show, much less a means to generate traffic.

The alumni of Imperial University are furious. How dare you try to take advantage of the God of Destiny? We haven't even accused you of being attention-seeking!

What a genius boy! It's just a persona created by the show's producers, and people actually took it seriously.

Has this prodigy ever been to a gifted youth program? Oh, you don't know what a gifted youth program is? How dare you call yourself a prodigy?

At the time, some people explained that the gifted youth program was established by top universities such as Beijing University, with the aim of discovering highly intelligent children as early as possible and providing them with professional training.

Children who get into the gifted youth program have to go through four IQ tests, and there is no doubt that those who can get in are a group of highly intelligent monsters.

Su Yuan and Ning Xiaoxi both came from the gifted youth program.

The show "Smart Tower" also backfired because of this hype, and there will be no next season.

Because Mu Liangyue sincerely apologized on behalf of Lu Lingchen at the first moment the incident escalated, the conflict was prevented from affecting Lu Lingchen.

Su Yuan also spoke out through a friend, saying that the blame for the marketing accounts would not be placed on others, and congratulated Lu Lingchen on winning the championship.

This finally brought the incident to a complete end.

Could it be that Su Yuan admires Lu Lingchen and is determined to speak up for the Lu family? Li Yang glanced at Lu Lingchen with some wariness.

Lu Lingchen didn't even look at him. He didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to chat with his idol.

"Goddess, it's a bit noisy here. Perhaps I should find a quieter place..."

Su Yuan's voice was calm: "Didn't you hear? There's still something to do here."

In fact, Wu Qingfeng wanted to ignore them and leave, but apart from Su Yuan, two bodyguards who appeared out of nowhere at the door stopped everyone.

"I'm sorry," Sheng Yunchao said apologetically. "I know you all have the habit of running away when you can't win an argument, so I prepared some men."

Lu Lingjun frowned. How could he have brought his bodyguards in?

Sheng Yunchao: "I'll finish this quickly, but there's something I must clarify on the spot to prevent the rumors from spreading."

"What rumors?" Mu Liangyue asked.

Li Yang: "Liang Yue, don't fall for his tricks!"

Mu Liangyue shook her head firmly, "If someone is really spreading rumors, it's better to clarify things face to face. After all, debunking rumors is exhausting."

She herself is often the target of rumors, so she can empathize with the situation.

Li Yang: "Liang Yue, you are too kind."

Lu Sijian had already guessed what Sheng Yunchao was planning to do, but she didn't intend to stop him.

He called Su Yuan and Ning Xiaoxi over, just to back me up, right?

Oh well, as long as they're happy.

Lu Lingchen frowned. So Su Yuan and Ning Xiaoxi were summoned by Sheng Yunchao? Why? How could this person know them all?

Sheng Yunchao: "I want to clarify that the rumor is that my senior did not get into university through Professor Wu Qingfeng's program."

He looked at Wu Qingfeng, Li Yang, and Mu Liangyue, "Professor Wu led the way in spreading rumors, and you are all rumor-mongers."

Wu Qingfeng's face turned ugly: "Nonsense! Her name is clearly on the list we submitted! You're the one spreading rumors!"

Sheng Yunchao turned to look at Lu Sijian, his face full of innocence, "Senior, did I spread rumors, or did they spread rumors?"

He just wanted to know if, even after all this, she would still protect that woman.

Lu Sijian sighed and looked at Wu Qingfeng: "I wasn't involved in your project. Didn't I ask you to remove me from the list?"

The scene erupted in uproar; was this something that could be said out loud?

Getting into university without participating in the project—isn't that blatant fraud?

Although Lu Sijian is quite bold, is what she did really not illegal?

Wu Qingfeng stared at her. Had she gone mad?

Mu Liangyue also became anxious: "Miss Lu, don't act impulsively! You were clearly participating in the project when you went to the art association every day!"

"She wasn't involved in your project!" a voice announced.

Wu Qingfeng looked at the newcomer, his expression changing. "President Gu?"

Li Yang also exclaimed softly, "Why are Chairman Gu and Professor Li here?"

Mu Liangyue subconsciously looked at President Gu, who was at the head of the group and had previously expressed his appreciation for her.

But she soon discovered that Chairman Gu was furious, and that his anger was directed at her.

"I see you're quite talented at such a young age, why are you learning bad things instead of good ones? When did Lu Sijian get involved in the Nuwa Painting Academy's project? You're lying!"

President Gu was furious. It was one thing for Wu Qingfeng to pull some dirty tricks behind the scenes, but to fabricate such a thing was just too much.

The Nuwa Painting Academy project undoubtedly needs to be thoroughly investigated, and those students suspected of forgery will not escape accountability. Everyone is avoiding it now, and she even dragged Lu Sijian into it.

This is a talent they discovered. If he gets screwed over, who will he complain to?

Mu Liangyue blushed. Lying was a serious offense for her, but in order to repay a debt of gratitude, she had indeed violated her principle of honesty.

Now that things had come to this, she couldn't let Lu Sijian and Professor Wu get hurt, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "I didn't..."

"Liangyue, stop talking." Lu Sijian interrupted her.

At this point, making excuses will not do any good.

Mu Liangyue gently bit her lower lip, feeling a little wronged. She had done so much without asking Lu Sijian for anything in return, so why was Lu Sijian turning against her?

Li Yang was furious. "If anyone's going to criticize someone, it should be Lu Sijian for fabricating the evidence. Why are you criticizing Liang Yue?"

"You bastard!" President Gu was so angry he wanted to hit someone. "When did Lu Sijian fabricate anything? She participated in the project and performed exceptionally well, which is why she was admitted to Yuncheng University!"

Professor Li added, "Lu Sijian was involved in the 'Qin King's Night Banquet' project. She was the lead person in it, and we have surveillance video evidence of the entire process."

"What? She's that genius?" Wu Qingfeng's eyes widened.

Sheng Yunchao: "So you understand now? This is why she disdains to become your disciple. She not only has talent, but also extraordinary strength."

President Gu: "I wanted to take her as my apprentice, but she refused! Where do you get the nerve?"

Wu Qingfeng swayed and almost lost her balance.

It's over. He had only one thought in his mind: he's finished!
