Chapter 1891: Chapter 1886: Always with a Purpose
"Ah, I see. Mr. Veronâs sense of responsibility is truly admirable."
The familiar presence sensed was so clear that no one would naively think Veron on the other side couldnât hear this conversation.
Fu Qian, who was deeply impressed by this "Origin Void," complimented without any psychological burden.
Unfortunately, due to his past actions, itâs hard not to feel that he is being sarcastic.
At least thatâs how Lanaia felt.
As a witness to the entire conflict, she could say with certainty that this Demigod from the Divine Ashes Institute suffered greatly at Fu Qianâs hands.
Though, to be fair, Professor Fu might be arrogant, but the responsibility didnât fall on him, and it was even Veron who asked for trouble.
Nonetheless, for such a proud elder, the blow was indeed quite significant.
When the opponent suddenly visited just now, Lanaia, though puzzled, was relieved that she hadnât run into the special advisor involved in this matter.
Who would have thought that after just finding a volunteer for his experiment, Professor Fu would be idling here instead of making good use of them.
The atmosphere, which was initially relaxed, suddenly turned tense.
"Mr. Veron, Professor Luo Bu is here too."
Fortunately, to some relief, in formal settings, Advisor Fu indeed restrained himself a bit in front of the Night Watchman Ms. Su.
The next moment, facing the two people looking over, he greeted them with a straight face and a smile.
...
Professor Chang Mo indeed has a strong sense of responsibility.
Due to Li Weixuanâs arrangements, she directly got both Luo Bu and Ah Kai as manpower, along with Lanaia, which should have made the duty schedule much easier.
But she clearly wasnât just focused on reducing workload, instead emphasizing strengthening vigilance, directly doubling the number of personnel on duty.
Even as Professor Ah Kai needed to gather some information related to Miracles, he wasnât initially prioritized.
Of course, even so, it can be believed that he wasnât idle either.
"Professor Fu... Long time no see."
Veron, who hadnât been seen for many days, initially wore a somewhat serious expression.
But faced with this impeccable greeting, he couldnât just ignore it, nodding slightly in response.
And the next moment, his gaze fell on Su Gaoâs face as he greeted without emotion.
He seemed to have a good grasp of the current situation after conversing with Lanaia and the others.
Of course, the old-school demigod still retained his pride, not needing to be overly gracious even in front of the Night Watchman.
Unfortunately, when it came to maintaining an aloof demeanor, he still didnât have the upper hand.
Su Gao only coldly replied and didnât say much more, not minding the awkward silence.
"Long time no see, Professor Veron, you look better than before."
Fortunately, the temporary leader of Heavenâs Commencement was there, and Fu Qian laughed heartily the next moment.
No false claims from academics; compared to last time, he indeed looked much better.
Previously, having lost the Academyâs elite, Ian, his heart was deeply troubled.
Later, trapped in the Clear Dream Ring with these emotions, he judged himself madly and finally calmed down after taking a strike from the Swordsmanship Departmentâs female demigod during the hearing.
Such dramatic ups and downs could easily cause problems for a youngster, let alone such a proud old man.
But as previously mentioned, maintaining superiority in the talent-rich Academy means that the Divine Ashes Institute does have its unique strengths.
Upon meeting again this time, Mr. Veron seemed completely unscathed, with no psychological shadow left.
...
"The noise earlier seemed to come from Professor Fuâs laboratory direction?"
At this moment, the importance of the first impression was evident.
Even if Fu Qianâs tone and demeanor were impeccable, and he held a high position from academia, he remained humble to his colleagues, yet Old Master Veron still snorted coldly.
Without hiding color, he even had a slight air of questioning, seemingly because Professor Lisaâs little box was disturbed from a good dream.
"Yes, but it wasnât just my work. Strictly speaking, itâs a collaborative project between two laboratories."
However, as for who Professor Fu is, he didnât even blink before selling out Lisa in the next moment.
"After our last exploration in the Forbidden Area, Professor Lisa, working tirelessly, finally made some progress and couldnât wait until daytime to come report to me."
Of course, he didnât forget to incidentally praise Professor Lisaâs academic spirit.
"Since you brought it up, Iâm really curious... do you have a clear understanding of your actions in the Bone Spirit Realm?"
Unfortunately, Professor Veron clearly didnât appreciate this point, and his cold sneers continued as he listened.
So thatâs what the Divine Ashes people call the place, Bone Spirit Realm? It fits well with their attitude toward that extraordinary creation.
"If I have to say, it would be that weâve opened a new Chapter in exploration there?"
While considering internally, Fu Qian, in the next moment, evaluated the recent scientific expedition with an attitude as if he couldnât understand anything.
"Haha... Does Professor Fu think that, having Heavenâs Commencement custody rights now, you can act recklessly?"
Unfortunately, Veron wasnât buying it.
"Indeed, Iâm the appointed advisor for this investigation after all."
Fu Qian instantly affirmed, wearing an arrogant face, no longer pretending to be amiable, emphasizing the difference in status.
...
"Alright, you two."
Seeing Old Master Veronâs gaze like a knife towards this outcome, Lanaia, not at all surprised, finally stepped forward as a responsible leader of the duty work, forcibly interrupting.
"I completely trust your enthusiasm for research, but havenât you mixed up the projects?"
And luckily, having been in charge of the Punishment Department for years, Lanaia, when serious, had quite the imposing presence without being angry, not weakening her momentum at all, even in front of two demigods.
Instead, she wasnât focused on mediating; her cold, barbed remark clearly reminded them to be mindful of the setting, suggesting they argue elsewhere if needed.
"Then I wonât disturb anymore, wishing Professor Fu and your investigation success."
Thankfully, surprisingly, Professor Veron was actually the more receptive to advice this time, and with astonishing speed, he collected his temper, turning to leave.
"Thank you for your confidence in Heavenâs Commencement."
However, Fu Qian, surprisingly, continued his attitude.
"I heard that a young genius from the Divine Ashes Institute visited recently?"
And as the other had truly turned to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something.
Hmm...
The previously dismissive-appearing Professor Veron paused his movements at that moment, slowly turning his head to look over.
"If thereâs an opportunity, please be sure to let me have a look."
Fu Qianâs smile remained unchanged.
Originally, for Miss Wen here, it seemed like a pleasant study tour, yet the posture of these elders seemed a bit aggressive.
Additionally, these Psychic Series players sure were troublesome, even bragging, had to be done in a roundabout way.
