In Lin Yi’s mind, a vivid image of Angre, with his roguish charm blending the style of an English gentleman and an old rascal, suddenly appeared.
Soon after, the sound of "thud...thud...thud..." echoed repeatedly, clearly indicating soone was tapping the table with their fingers, seemingly lost in thought.
The scene before his eyes gradually beca clearer, as the surroundings and figures within the environnt began to erge.
At first glance, this appeared to be a dormitory.
A normal kind of dormitory, almost indistinguishable from the one Lin Yi rembered.
Yet there were not many people in the dormitory.
Besides Wei Liang, there was only "himself," along with a stranger—no, that’s not right!
Taking a closer look!
It seed this wasn’t a dormitory at all!
Here, there were far more than just a few people; there were many, many, many people in fact!
He could feel the presence of entities that could only be perceived by sensation, almost indescribable as "people," quietly surrounding them.
This sense made the small, square table in the dormitory emanate a sense of a council’s deliberations—a visual reminiscent of a Western cabinet eting.
In a room with unevenly distributed light, the center was the dormitory, surrounded by tiered seating hidden in shadows, as if countless people were seated there.
And in this cabinet-like atmosphere, the limited light fell almost entirely on Wei Liang.
And the only stranger whose features were visible was a roguishly handso, silver-haired middle-aged man.
His silver hair was ticulously styled, his facial features were clean and sharp, with a hint of white stubble along his jawline.
He wore a crisp black suit, with cuffs slightly rolled up, resembling a middle-aged Dumbledore, yet to Lin Yi, he more resembled Angre, the principal in his mind.
Almost instantly, upon seeing this person, Lin Yi recalled a title—"Principal"!
The "Principal" of S City University!
Had they already t the "Principal"?
And the initial mischievous voice, without a doubt, belonged to Wei Liang!
At that mont, Wei Liang seed to be negotiating with the "Principal," resting his chin on one hand while lightly tapping the table with the index finger of the other, his gaze sowhat casually fixed on the "Principal" opposite him.
In this mont, the imposing aura of the "Principal" was entirely overshadowed by Wei Liang.
"Is this still the Liangzi I know?" Lin Yi rubbed his eyes. If the person in front of him didn’t feel exactly like "Wei Liang," and since "he" was present as well, he would definitely question the reality of the situation.
After all, he had never seen Wei Liang in this deanor, combining indolence and dignity, appearing calm yet radiating an indescribable oppressive power.
Just then, Lin Yi heard the "Principal" speak slowly: "The Dark Zone of S City University, barring any surprises, can exist in a stable state for hundreds or even thousands of years..."
"However, I can’t wait that long; you, all of you... since you’ve appeared in this ’Ti,’ it naturally ans you can’t wait either."
"Given that, why not take this opportunity to amplify both of our advantages, achieving an exponential breakthrough?"
"Thud...thud...thud..."
Wei Liang lightly tapped the table.
"Oh dear... that’s why I said it’s difficult..."
"When you touched the threshold of the ’At First,’ I knew it was going to be a big problem... and knowing your temperant, having known you for so many years, I’m very clear about it..."
"You’re not here to discuss with , you’re here to inform ..."
"Difficult... truly difficult..."
Even as Wei Liang spoke of difficulties, he couldn’t suppress the upward curve of his lips.
What shocked Lin Yi wasn’t the posture of Wei Liang and the "Principal" facing each other, but Wei Liang’s nonchalant use of "you kid" when addressing the "Principal," and yet, the "Principal" showed no sign of displeasure at being called that.
The "Principal" asked, "Are you not thinking the sa way?"
"Ever since that one ti, up until now, over countless years, I have only heard of your ntions in the historical legends... But now, you, who are as elusive as a dragon, have appeared, and with such a deanor, standing in front of ."
"Legends—even in legends, not everyone has the qualification to et the ’Ti Council’..."
"This inevitably makes presumptuous enough to think that perhaps you have been waiting for this all along, waiting for to touch the threshold of the ’At First’ before you appeared, right?"
"Just as you understand , I also understand your behavior logic very well..."
"Not everyone has the qualification to sit at your gambling table; they don’t, and neither do I... But at this mont, I do have the qualification to beco a ’chip’ in your hand."
"Moreover, more clearly than ever, I can feel that... you’ve actually been waiting for for a long ti."
"Oh dear..." Wei Liang sighed with a smile, "Hard to handle, hard to handle..."
"First, I must correct you—what ’Ti Council’, I know nothing of it, don’t jump to conclusions... Secondly, your cognition is rely your own."
