Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 858 is just an ordinary Trinity University president.
"Who exactly are you?"

He Songling pulled Song Mian and Zhou Meng to arrange lunch. While they were waiting for their food, Wang Ye reached out and poked He Songling.

"Ah, me? Hey, just an ordinary honorary president of Trinity University, honorary president of Tang Sect College, and a contemporary immortal. Other titles haven't come out in recent years, so they're all considered obsolete." He Songling pretended to be nonchalant and pretentious.

???

Three question marks simultaneously appeared above the heads of the three young people.

"Dude, that's not how you brag," Wang Ye scratched his head. "Aren't you afraid Trinity University will come after you?"

Trinity University is a very special entity in the world of superhumans. It claims to be an academic institution with no extraordinary martial arts skills and does not usually get involved in the affairs of the superhuman community. Even Lu Jin, one of the former elders, had to retire from the university before he could return home to take over as the head of the Lu family.

But when things really got tough, these intellectuals came out to fight, and each one of them was fiercer than the last. I heard that back then, a group of them fought all the way to Longhu Mountain and even beat up the Old Celestial Master.

After going through this journey, Wang Ye and the others also admitted that He Songling had some secrets and his abilities were extraordinary, even Zhou Sheng was no match for him. The question is, how can you expect to succeed by trying to take advantage of Trinity University like this?

"What trouble are you causing me? What's wrong with you young people? You always question things first, don't you know to check information online before doing anything?"

He Songling was just saying that; even in his previous life, he would initially criticize things, only searching for information when he felt something was amiss. When faced with something unbelievable, emotional impulse is often the first reaction.

So he handed over a smartphone with a low screen-to-body ratio, zoomed in and showed it to the young people, "Look, this is the official website of Trinity University, the history of Trinity University, and my photo, name and deeds are all on it."

“His surname isn’t Ling… Oh.” Zhang Lingyu subconsciously wanted to refute, but then realized that the name was just He Songling reversed.
Because of the unified requirements and tacit understanding among everyone, even Trinity University only gave a relatively simple introduction to their first president and honorary president for life after their reorganization into a university.

It's easy to imagine how much writing space there is on the signs hanging in the school corridors.
Wang Ye and the others only saw these few sentences in the introduction: "He Songling, the first principal and honorary principal for life of this school, who funded and personally participated in the War of Resistance against Japan during the war years, and the first person to study the academic research of extraordinary people."

There's also a famous quote hanging in the school corridor, next to which you can see a half-hanging plaque bearing the name of Zuo Ruotong. "He Songling, (1901-). Head of Trinity College, University President." The famous quote below reads: "To eat Sichuan cuisine without eating Yu Xiang Rou Si (shredded pork with garlic sauce) is to miss out on a talented person."

Other people's famous quotes are all things like "diligence can make up for lack of talent," "genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration," and "I stand on the shoulders of giants," but this person's quotes don't seem very serious at all.

Looking again at the oval photo frame above, although it was a black and white photo, the handsome face, with its smug grin, was unmistakably the same person.

“You…” The three of them stared wide-eyed.

So you really are a Gen Z!
"Ahem." He Songling was also a little embarrassed. "I need to explain that I didn't say this famous quote. I'll settle the score with those brats when I get to university."

He Songling disappeared suddenly. At that time, although Sanyi School was undergoing reforms towards becoming a higher education institution, it hadn't yet fully transformed into a complete school in the truest sense, so naturally, there were no plaques or inscriptions with famous quotes. But since they were going to put them up later, they couldn't avoid mentioning He Songling. So, his fellow students just made up a sentence based on his "lifetime" characteristics.

Believe it or not, anyone who sees it would think it was said by He Songling himself. This unconventional and abstract style can truly be considered a mark against counterfeiting.

"No, I've heard that before. The first president of Trinity University, Trinity University has always denied that he's dead. There was quite a bit of controversy back then. So... you're really alive?" Wang Ye's eyes widened for the first time. "And so young?"

"It's just a little trick. Look at my old mentor, Zuo Ruotong. He's in his eighties but looks like he's in his twenties, doesn't he?" He Songling casually found a photo of Zuo Ruotong and showed it to them.

The three young men were completely convinced.

Although due to the passage of time, the sealing of documents, and the deliberate withholding of information by those in the know, the three of them couldn't find any information about He Songling for a while, but the title of "the first president of Trinity University" alone was enough to convince people.

From its inception, Trinity University has been recognized as the number one force in the world of supernatural beings. Although the strongest individual has since been recognized as the Old Master, no one dares to question Trinity University's level and top-notch capabilities.

They have always been at the forefront of the cultivation of extraordinary individuals.

It's hard to believe that a young man could easily defeat a senior Wudang master and casually get the old Celestial Master and the Wudang leader to expel their most promising disciple; but if it were the president of Trinity University, it would make perfect sense.

We're both heads of our own families, but my family's influence is far greater than yours.

"No, then if you have this kind of identity, why do you insist on having us follow you?" It was Xia He, an innate extraordinary person and a member of the Quanxing sect, who had no respect for authority, who was the first to recover from the shock and ask a crucial question.

Wang Ye and Zhang Lingyu also suddenly realized what was happening.

That's right. Since you're so awesome, such an ancient senior, and you can still easily defeat Zhou Sheng, and it seems that even the Celestial Master and the Wudang Sect Leader are no match for you, and the other two heroes are your junior brothers, how do you see it? The three of us youngsters can't help you at all, right?

“There are many reasons. For example, I have been out of the public eye for so many years, and all the power, wealth, status and position I had back then are gone. The current vested interests will definitely try their best to prevent me from coming back to avoid seizing their interests, and they are even less likely to help me. So I need to find young people with clean backgrounds to help me fight against these people.”

Upon hearing this, He Songling began to tell these people a conspiracy theory: "For example, I was once the leader of the entire supernatural world. I am not willing to be just an ordinary old man now, so I want to build up a team to realize my evil plan, such as overthrowing Na Du Tong and ruling the supernatural world again."

"Ah, this..." The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, what conspiracy theories does he have?" Song Mian's voice saved the three young people who were sitting on the edge of their seats. "Given his personality, he just can't stand the awkwardness between you two and wants to find a way to get you married."
