Chapter 1494: Chapter 1492: Forced Assignment
After all, young people do care about these things.
Rietâs final request as a volunteer was something Fu Qian naturally understood.
Whether it was wearing her sisterâs pajamas or selflessly attempting seduction as a sacrifice, these were feats that would keep one tossing and turning, sleepless, even years later.
Young people have a bit less capacity for self-deception, and Riet clearly found it hard to convince herself it was just a dream.
"Alright, but you donât have to treat it as a blemish to be removed."
Fu Qian agreed readily.
During the process of growing up, young people often wish certain memories could be forgotten by themselves and everyone else, but growth often manifests upon realizing this point.
Of course, Fu Qian wasnât particularly interested in moral education work; his casual guidance was just a little payback for Veilâs actions.
Despite not emphasizing it, the other party still chose to keep information related to him confidential, avoiding any negative consequences.
Such meticulousness was truly a delightful trade partner.
...
"Thank you... I will try my best,"
You have to consider who says the chicken soup for the soul. You can tell young Riet, just past the age of rebelliousness, was quite moved at that moment, even if it wasnât a complete epiphany.
And after a momentâs silence and a solemn acknowledgment, her brows seemed to relax a bit more.
Of course, Fu Qian didnât give her more time to process, casually snapping his fingers to perfectly conclude this inspection.
Yet, even as the dream shattered and reality returned, the surroundings remained peaceful and serene.
The three waiting outside seemed to hold their breath, straining to catch any sound from within.
Considering there hadnât been any noise from inside since earlier, this curiosity was quite normal.
"Thank you very much, we can head out now."
Fu Qian wasnât someone lacking in subtlety, so he made an extra summary to help the eavesdroppers imagine more vividly.
"Okay... Thanks for the trouble, sir,"
Returning to reality, Rietâs mood instantly shifted, her expression turning cloudy.
Of course, she still responded politely to Fu Qianâs statement.
To her sister, this was enough to slightly ease her mind, judging the interaction had been fairly smooth.
...
"Thank you."
Ms. Veilâs first response upon entry was a word of gratitude.
As for the second, after inspecting her sisterâs face to confirm her emotional index had improved, her face lit up as well.
The inspection had occurred in a dream, which experienced Veil could instantly realize.
Precisely for this reason, she worried her sister might become emotionally triggered and uncooperative.
Of course, she still had confidence in Mr. Fuâs character, and now it was time to verify the test results and proceed to fulfill the promised rewards.
"Upon reflection, thereâs nothing much today, so Iâll accompany you,"
Before the sisters could say more, Professor Lanaya, who had just avoided a hassle, spoke up after some hesitation.
"Previously confirmed, both sisters are visiting here for the first time. For safetyâs sake, Iâll follow along a bit."
Curiosity is one of humanityâs finest qualities, indeed.
Professor Lanayaâs conscientiousness earned Fu Qianâs momentary admiration.
Of course, she hadnât suddenly realized her sacred responsibilities or anything like that.
Her glances bouncing between himself and Riet since re-entering clearly suggested another layer of intrigue, piquing her curiosity.
Accompanying them wasnât just about preventing mishaps but more about satisfying her curiosity, like what relationship the sisters had with him.
Fu Qian didnât mind such far-fetched associations, as that was one of the reasons he behaved that way earlier.
Having an additional person from the Punishment Department involved would ensure Professor Lisa, even if only to assert the dignity of Heavenâs Commencement Institute, would pay more serious attention.
Of course, Lanaya wasnât the only one brimming with curiosity.
...
"What... You want me to help handle her hand?"
"Iâm really busy; why donât you do it yourself? How are they related to you?"
Soon after, in a towering structure radiating internal warmth though commanding outside, Professor Lisa, the academic prodigy unseen for days, widened her eyes at Fu Qian, questioning him thus.
Though claiming she wasnât in a hurry, once Fu Qian suggested immediate departure, the Veil sisters readily, almost at lightning speed, packed their belongings and embarked on their quest for treatment.
And Professor Lisa, upon whom high hopes were placed, indeed continued her dedicated research in the lab, as Ben confirmed during their breakfast chat with Miss Liushuang, engrossed in the fruits of previous academic expeditions.
The bat-derived bone mask appeared to pose quite a challenge for her.
Although, as a top-class force just shy of a Demigod, she wouldnât work herself into dark circles, the frustration from lack of progress was overtly clear.
So when Fu Qian disrupted her research, proposing task allocation, the negative emotion was almost instantly released.
"I owe them a personal favor,"
In response, Fu Qian spoke truthfully, neither humble nor arrogant.
Would you owe them a favor?
A regular person and someone almost at Middle Tierâyouâre a dignified Demigod of Heavenâs Commencementâwhat trouble would you need their strength to solve?
Although remaining silent, one could sense this skepticism from Professor Lisaâs expression change.
Under her scrutinizing gaze, the Ver sisters, experiencing the higher educational institution for the first time, clearly appeared slightly flustered.
Especially since Professor Lisa, despite her excessively charming demeanor, wore a serious white lab coat, presenting a very professional appearance.
"And Cass is not here."
The atmosphere was delicate, but how could it stump a professional adept at breaking the ice? Fu Qian quickly provided further reasoning.
"I know heâs not here, but arenât you here? Even if you want to slack off, so many peopleâhow does it suddenly fall on me?"
However, Lisa, finally having a moment to vent, seemed not so easily persuaded, still frowning as she raised objections.
"No, no, you misunderstood my point."
Fu Qian promptly waved his hands.
"What I mean is, as one of only two Demigods at Heavenâs Commencement, with Cass not around, naturally Iâm now the leader on this, itâs not your turn but assigned to you."
...
I...
Clearly, Professor Fuâs response was novel, significantly impacting the audience.
Seeing his arrogant demeanor, even though she wanted to punch something, as the one being tasked, Professor Lisa tried to speak up multiple times but ultimately couldnât retort.
An air of superiority silences dissent; even within the academyâs scholarly circle, itâs part of the Supernatural Realmâs academic circle.
Though Cass never forces her to do anything she doesnât want to.
"And I would owe you a favor,"
Amidst internal complaints, Heavenâs Commencementâs temporary leader continued.
