Chapter 243 Archaeology Department

Imperial Capital University, outside the school gate.

Huo Qinghuang was wearing casual clothes today, with his hands in his pockets, walking into the school without looking around.

Huo Jiayue almost jogged beside her to barely keep up.

"Sister, sister, please walk slower and wait for me."

Her little face was flushed. It was September, and after jogging for a while, sweat was already on her forehead.

Huo Qinghuang glanced at her, her eyes swept over the trembling body, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.

Humph, what’s the use of eating well? We are all just skeletons. Only strength is king!

Despite her thoughts, she gradually slowed down her pace.

Huo Jiayue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her body trembled again, causing the students passing by to look back.

Huo Qinghuang raised his eyebrows and looked over with indifferent eyes.

In an instant, those students who had been looking back seemed to be frightened by an invisible force. They trembled all over, and hurriedly withdrew their gazes, pretending nothing had happened and hurried away.

Huo Jiayue was completely unaware of what had just happened, and was still talking excitedly: "Sister, I heard that there is a new professor in our department. He is said to be very good and has published many high-level academic papers."

As she spoke, she took out a small mirror from her bag, gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, and tidied her messy hair.

Huo Qinghuang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint sneer: "Academic papers? In the face of absolute strength, those are just empty talk. A truly powerful person will not rely solely on these empty things to prove himself."

Her voice was not loud, but her tone revealed unquestionable confidence.

“…”

Huo Jiayue opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain.

She and her sister could never get along well when chatting. Her sister didn't like clothes, accessories, or anything like that. When the two of them were alone together, they would just stare at each other.

We were finally in the same school this time, and I thought we would have some common topics, but who knew that as soon as my sister opened her mouth, she would hit me with another critical hit.

Huo Jiayue sighed helplessly and muttered softly: "Sister, you are always so strong, no wonder everyone is afraid of you."

Hearing this, Huo Qinghuang raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Are you afraid of me? So what? It is natural for the weak to fear the strong."

Huo Jiayue pouted, not knowing how to argue, so she had to change the subject: "I won't go back at noon, I'll just rest in the dormitory for a while, I'm too lazy to run around."

"Okay, then I won't go back. I might as well read a few more books with this time."

Huo Qinghuang nodded.

Although their house was not far from the school, with Huo Jiayue's short legs, it would take twenty minutes to go back and forth, and it was really troublesome to run back and forth.

Especially when I have classes in the afternoon.

However, although they did not live in school, they still had beds reserved so they could rest at noon.

As they were talking, the two had already entered the school. Huo Jiayue tried to hold back, but still asked.

"Sister, I still can't understand why you chose archaeology as your major?"

My sister is so beautiful and capable, she doesn't seem to have anything to do with archaeology.

"I have my reasons for choosing the Department of Archaeology. Don't you think it would be interesting to travel all over China, dig up ancient tombs, and maybe even find some Zongzi?"

Huo Qinghuang blinked and threatened deliberately.

Huo Jiayue: “…”

Thank you, she didn't think digging graves was interesting at all, and she didn't want to touch the rice dumplings.

The two of them spoke nothing along the way and soon arrived in front of the teaching building.

Just as she was about to walk in, suddenly, a fashionably dressed girl ran out in a hurry and almost bumped into Huo Qinghuang.

The girl looked up and saw Huo Qinghuang. A trace of panic flashed across her face, and then she pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, isn't this Huo Qinghuang? How come the young lady condescended to go to the same school as us?"

Huo Qinghuang's eyes fell on her coldly. Before she could speak, Huo Jiayue rushed to say, "Chen Mengmeng, if you can't spit out ivory, get out of here quickly. My sister is not someone you can just fool around with!"

Chen Mengmeng glanced at Huo Jiayue with disdain: "Why, you think you are so great just because you have your sister's support? I think you sisters of the Huo family are only good at bullying others by taking advantage of your power."

Huo Qinghuang took a step forward, and the aura around him instantly became sharp.

"I want to hear, are you bullying others by taking advantage of your position to get into Imperial University with only 300 points in the exam, or am I bullying others by taking advantage of my position to get in with my own ability?"

Chen Mengmeng was frightened by her momentum and took a step back, but she still said, "You, don't think I'm afraid of you. What's wrong with getting 300 points on the test? I can go to school wherever I want. What's it to you?"

"I can't control it, but you offended me, should I teach you a lesson?"

Huo Qinghuang's lips curled up in a dangerous arc.

"You, you dare! There are so many people watching here today, what can you do to me?"

Chen Mengmeng was scared, and at this moment, the class bell rang.

She seemed to have found a life-saving straw and quickly said, "Humph, you're lucky. Class is over. We'll settle this account later."

Having said that, he hurried away.

"Huh, what the hell!"

Huo Jiayue wrinkled her nose, pointed to a classroom not far away, and said, "Sister, my classroom is over there, do you want to go and have a look?"

Huo Qinghuang shook her head and said calmly, "No need, I have something else to do. Go by yourself, and remember to go home directly after school and don't stay outside."

Huo Jiayue nodded obediently: "I understand, sister."

Huo Qinghuang watched Huo Jiayue walk into the classroom, then turned and left, walking towards the Archaeology Department.

The teaching building of the Archaeology Department is located in the northwest corner of the campus. Its architectural style is simple and ancient, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding modern teaching buildings.

Huo Qinghuang walked into the teaching building and came to her classroom with ease.

There were already quite a few students sitting in the classroom. When they saw Huo Qinghuang come in, they all looked at her curiously.

Huo Qinghuang was already accustomed to this. He walked straight to his seat, sat down, and casually opened an ancient book.

Soon, the professor walked into the classroom.

The professor's name is Xu Changyun. He is a senior professor in the Department of Archaeology and a well-known archaeologist in the country.

He is over sixty years old, with gray hair, but he is energetic and his eyes are bright.

"Students, today we are going to talk about the excavation and protection of ancient tombs."

Xu Changyun stood on the podium, his voice loud and powerful.

Huo Qinghuang raised her head and looked at Xu Changyun intently.

She has a keen interest in ancient tombs, especially those that hide mysterious powers.

Xu Changyun began to explain the structure of ancient tombs, excavation techniques and the importance of cultural relics protection.

Huo Qinghuang listened with great interest, and occasionally wrote down some key points in his notebook.

Halfway through the course, Xu Changyun suddenly changed the subject and said, "Students, I have an important announcement to make."
