Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

The student gazed at the middle-aged man, seeming somewhat excited. His eyes were full of admiration.

Even though he wasn't a history major, his respect for Professor Liu was immense.

Professor Liu was a legendary figure in Beijing University's History Department, rumored to be the sole survivor of a pre-Qin tomb exploration incident ten years ago!

He brought back tremendously fruitful historical research results and was a nationally recognized historian.

In China's history circles, his prestige was immense.

He could be described as the North Star of Mount Tai!

Additionally, he was the head of the History Department at Beijing University, essentially the highest-ranking person in the department.

For such a prominent figure to personally arrive at the new student registration site was truly incredible.

"Keep your voice down; I don't want to be discovered," Professor Liu said, subduing his inner shock and shaking his head at the student. "Don't tell anyone you saw me come here, understand?"

"Got it, got it!" The student nodded eagerly. He thought Professor Liu wanted to conduct a secret investigation and couldn't help but mourn for Li Qiuting for three seconds. No matter the reason, it was extremely inappropriate to call a new student useless in front of the department head.

Professor Liu nodded slightly and smiled at the student.

He did not immediately head to the new student registration area but stood at a distance, watching and waiting for the right moment to go over.

At this moment, quite a crowd had surrounded the History Department's new student registration point.

Li Qiuting's earlier cry of alarm had been truly shocking, attracting many onlookers.

However, most of them were blaming Qin Heng.

"Holy cow! Who is this guy? To make Senior Sister Qiuting react so strongly—unheard of!"

"I have no idea! He looks tall and handsome, so he shouldn't be that bad, right? Why would Sister Qiuting call him useless?"

Since the previous conflict had occurred outside, many people were not entirely clear about what had happened.

They were a bit puzzled.

But some still knew about the earlier incident.

"Just now, outside, he watched his girlfriend get bullied and didn't dare to speak up. He also randomly bragged, claiming he could take down Tianhuo Real Estate in one day."

"For such a person, it's perfectly normal for Sister Qiuting to call him useless!"

Through the crowd's brief discussions, people roughly understood what had transpired. Instantly, everyone's gaze towards Qin Heng filled with disdain.

"Damn! Such a loser! What a waste of his height and looks! He can't even protect his own girlfriend. What kind of man is that? Just trash, useless!"

"Being trash is one thing, but to then crazily boast, saying things like 'Tianhuo Real Estate will close down tomorrow,' 'Huo Ren and his family will end up homeless on the streets,' and 'it won't be long before they are finished'—it's downright laughable!"

"Wow! Is this guy really going to study at Beijing University? Does he have even the slightest bit of common sense? Tianhuo Real Estate is a company with a market value of tens of billions; how could it possibly collapse in a day? He must be living in a dream!"

In everyone's eyes, Qin Heng's behavior proved he was nothing but a loser.

Unless Tianhuo Real Estate really could collapse tomorrow, truly fulfilling what he had said earlier—but that was absolutely impossible. No one would believe that a publicly listed company with a market value of over ten billion could collapse within a single day!

This was the real world, not a myth!

Li Qiuting, hearing the people around her pointing fingers at Qin Heng, seemed a bit embarrassed. She said to Qin Heng, "I was too blunt, I'm sorry. But for someone like you to be entering the History Department... it's truly a disgrace to me!"

The first half of her remark was an apology to Qin Heng, but the second half demeaned him again, as she considered it a great shame to be in the same department as him.

Qin Heng glanced indifferently at Li Qiuting. "For an ant like you, seeing me once is a blessing earned over ten lifetimes," he said. "I can't be bothered to argue with an ant, but if you dare utter another word, I wouldn't mind crushing you."

Originally, Qin Heng couldn't be bothered with the senseless babble of these ants, but their incessant noise greatly displeased him. How could the dignity of the Immortal Emperor tolerate a bunch of ants hopping around? Any further offense, and he would crush them directly!

"You!"

Li Qiuting wanted to scold Qin Heng again, but his indifferent gaze sent an involuntary shiver down her spine. A trace of fear appeared in her eyes as she looked at him. "Just tone down the boasting," she said, her voice softening. "And I advise you to look up what kind of entity Tianhuo Real Estate is."

"There's no need for that." Qin Heng shook his head. "Tomorrow, Tianhuo Real Estate in Beijing will cease to exist," he said indifferently. "Why should I bother investigating a company doomed to vanish?"

"Oh my! Little Junior, you're still so arrogant." A light laugh sounded as the Beijing University Student Union members who had mocked Qin Heng earlier approached.

Leading them was a fairly handsome young man, over 1.7 meters tall, with a neat buzz cut, dressed in a clean white T-shirt.

He stepped in front of Qin Heng, extended his hand, and smiled. "Little Junior, you've got quite the personality. But as your senior, and in a way, your elder, I must tell you: the inflexible are easily broken. You'll regret it when you face setbacks. I'm Cheng Tong, Director of the Organization Department of Beijing University's Student Union, and a junior in the History Department. That makes me your direct senior, I suppose. Shake my hand, apologize, and we'll forget all that nonsense you spouted earlier."

Cheng Tong wore a condescending expression, as if shaking his hand was a great honor for Qin Heng. His tone was exceedingly arrogant, as if he were commanding a dog.

An incredibly confident smile played on Cheng Tong's lips. He believed that once this freshman learned his identity as Director of the Student Union's Organization Department, the boy would immediately bow down and grovel! Unless he didn't want to survive at Beijing University!

The Director of the Student Union's Organization Department held considerable power, akin to a human resources department, with authority to appoint members to various positions within the union. His network was incredibly broad. With just a word, he could undoubtedly make an ordinary student's life at Beijing University unbearable. This was no exaggeration.

The two young men beside Cheng Tong, deputy directors of the Organization Department and effectively his lackeys, also smirked at Qin Heng, anticipating the spectacle.

But the next scene left them stunned.

The newly enrolled freshman outright ignored Cheng Tong, as if he hadn't heard a word, and continued speaking to Li Qiuting, "Are the procedures finished?"

"Kid! You've got guts!" Cheng Tong erupted, trembling with rage. He pointed at Qin Heng and seethed through clenched teeth, "Just you wait! I'll make you understand the consequences of offending Cheng Tong!"

"What consequences could there be?"

Just then, a deep voice suddenly rang out as Professor Liu walked over.
