642 Chu He (1/2)

When the old man was looking at the dice, he saw Zhou Wen and Liu Yun. He also knew that they were walking over, but he didn't seem to have the desire to communicate with them. All he did was stand there dejectedly.

”How should I address you?” Liu Yun asked.

When the old man heard the voice, it was as if he had just woken up. He subconsciously answered, ”My name is Chu He. I'm a professor at Imperial Capital College's History department.”

”Peasant? Is your wife called noon[1]?” Liu Yun joked.

”It's not that. It's Chu He as in the Chu River.” The old man didn't have any sense of humor. In such an environment, there was nothing that could make him laugh. Therefore, the old man explained seriously.

Zhou Wen's eyes widened when he heard the elder's words. He asked in disbelief, ”Chu He? How many professors in the Imperial Capital College's History department are named Chu He?”

”I'm the only one.” Chu He seemed somewhat numb. He didn't care why Zhou Wen would ask such a strange question.

Zhou Wen looked at Chu He excitedly. In the entire Imperial Capital College, Zhou Wen only knew of one person named Chu He.

The reason Zhou Wen could remember this name wasn't because Chu He was famous. No matter how famous Chu He was in his field, Zhou Wen couldn't care less, much less remember his name.

However, this Chu He was different. This was because there was a history professor at Imperial Capital College. He was a member of the former principal's expedition team.

Zhou Wen had seen Chu He's name and information on the list, and he had also seen the picture of the expedition team.

However, Zhou Wen had only had a general look back then. Chu He wasn't his target, so he didn't pay much attention to him.

Now that he thought about it, this Chu He was indeed somewhat similar to the Chu He in the photo. However, the Chu He in the photo was slightly plumper. He wasn't this thin and he looked better. He had a ruddy face and black hair. He wasn't as pale as he was now. Back then, Chu He was in high spirits.

Is he really Professor Chu He from the expedition team? Shouldn't he have entered the Zhuolu battlefield with the former principal and company? They went missing together, so how could he be here? Zhou Wen believed that the former principal had been killed, but for a person who had likely been killed with the former principal to appear in Netherworld City made him feel alarmed again.

”Professor Chu, have you been to the Zhuolu battlefield for research?” Zhou Wen asked as he stared at Chu He. He hoped that Chu He was Professor Chu He from the expedition team.

If they were really the same person, it was very likely that the former principal hadn't been killed if Professor Chu He was still alive. After all, he hadn't found the former principal's corpse in Zhuolu, nor had he discovered any other relics.

Ever since he was young, there hadn't been many people who had treated Zhou Wen well. The former principal was one of them. Zhou Wen felt that a good person like the former principal shouldn't have died so early. At the very least, he didn't wish for the former principal to die so early.
