Chapter 1901: Chapter 1896: Mutual Understanding

"Professor Fu, do you think I need to have a chat with my mother?"

The secret brought by Miss Liushuang was undoubtedly astonishing.

After quickly recounting it, she gave a moment for thought before gently asking Fu Qian for his opinion.

She even kept her gaze fixed at a distant spot while speaking, not looking over.

In fact, she seemed somewhat absent-minded while leading the way, in stark contrast to her usual shrewdness.

So, if she felt it necessary, would she still go to ask?

With a light sigh in his heart, Fu Qian completely understood this reaction.

It’s not that Ji Liushuang misunderstood the relationship between him and Ji Xue, prompting her to ask this question.

On the contrary, things had developed in such a unique way that her intelligence could completely unravel the logic within.

Such circumstances would actually clarify a misunderstanding which had only a slight possibility from the beginning.

That special item, in any case, seemed somewhat unique to Ji Xue.

And if he truly had a special relationship with her, why would he suddenly, without any prior disclosure, ask Ji Liushuang to find such an item?

This move precisely indicated that he was unfamiliar with past events and had no reservations.

Of course, his previous misleading of Ji Liushuang had already become a fictional history because of the mission’s restart.

Even though the arrangement of the Corrupted Sword Heart implanted a certain psychological suggestion.

But after dealing with her over time, as Miss Liushuang’s understanding of leadership deepened, she subconsciously should have made some judgments, and this time further confirmed them.

Just need to adjust slightly.

"No need, I believe that item is not in your mother’s hands now, right?"

People must learn to grow up, especially on such a path of Sword Heart Enlightenment cultivation. Fu Qian wasn’t interested in helping Ji Liushuang deceive herself.

Not to mention, she had bravely made a judgment and shown her stance.

Thus, Fu Qian’s answer to what to do next was simple and clear.

...

"Yes, according to Angui, that item was later put away and banned from access, and even after my mother returned home, she didn’t show any interest in it."

Professor Fu’s clear response seemed to ease Ji Liushuang a bit. She quickly turned her head to share the information she got from Angui.

"But you might be interested, I believe there won’t be too much resistance."

Professor Fu’s instructions continued to be clear.

"I think so too... The ranking of that item isn’t very high either."

With a light sigh, Ji Liushuang once again agreed with his view.

Although the reason given obviously lacked the most important point—people.

She should be the least obstructed one within the Ji Family if she wants to access that item.

As for the reason... the theoretical next Family Head, with Ji Xue’s prior example.

Considering the edge shown in some recent events, many people likely wouldn’t mind letting Ji Liushuang also try to access the item, hoping for a situation similar to her mother’s.

The more this is the case, the more she must obtain it.

Based on the secrets heard so far, even if Miss Liushuang gives up on this matter, someone might still come forward later and try to force it upon her.

It would be better to research it in advance and understand the possible underlying reasons.

Besides, from his perspective, his curiosity undoubtedly grew.

Initially just looking around casually, but now, in this situation, that item vaguely seemed similar to the Bronze Headband, having some special bond with the Ji Family bloodline.

Although the effect was a bit special, it undoubtedly held significant meaning for following the steps of predecessors or understanding the hints within the Bronze Headband, even exploring the secret of Transcendent bloodline inheritance.

"It’s just... Angui might have some concerns."

Ji Liushuang, now partially settled in her thoughts, was considering the gains and losses.

And her worries seemed reasonable.

Having decisively thrown an olive branch to that person earlier, now this kind of thing happened, making that person likely quite worried at the moment.

"That’s why proving it to him is even more important."

Fu Qian showed no hesitation.

"Everything remains the same once the item is in hand, and I believe only then he’ll have more confidence."

...

"You’re right."

Some logic, under normal circumstances, wasn’t hard for Miss Liushuang to unravel. With a slight prompt, she responded quickly.

"Then I’ll contact the family later today and have Jia Keke retrieve it personally."

Even choosing to give up now wouldn’t completely alleviate Angui’s concerns, realizing what Fu Qian said was indeed the best option for the current situation, the next moment Ji Liushuang decided decisively.

"Reasonable arrangement—was that the snow tree you mentioned last time?"

Praising her decision, Fu Qian naturally gestured to a spot not far away.

"Yes... that’s the snow tree."

The abrupt change of topic made Ji Liushuang pause for a moment, but as she followed the gesture, she quickly indicated that Fu Qian’s memory was correct.

"Last time when you mentioned it, I suddenly remembered a question, except for near the Academy, are there other places with such trees?"

Indeed, it’s a beautiful plant with a trunk that has a light silvery glow, and the leaves are naturally shaped a bit like snowflakes.

While observing in detail, Fu Qian casually inquired about the plant’s characteristics.

"Yes, although not many, they are fairly widespread, but the special aspect is that only the ones near the Academy change color upon encountering snow...

"Moreover, once transplanted, they lose this magical feature; no one has succeeded in many years."

With Professor Fu so interested, Ji Liushuang patiently explained.

She couldn’t help but feel a slight comfort knowing he remembered this matter.

Only near the Academy, huh...

At this moment, Fu Qian also thought about the miracle beneath the Benevolence Institute, which likely served as an ark’s anchoring point.

According to previous speculation, that thing probably couldn’t be replicated elsewhere either...

"Professor Fu?"

While he was pondering, Miss Liushuang’s voice came again. Seeing Fu Qian look over, she nodded in a certain direction.

"If there are no other matters, I’d like to return to the Academy first, and I’ll deliver the item as soon as I get it."

"Alright, you’ve worked hard."

Fu Qian certainly wasn’t one of those leaders who monopolized their subordinates’ time, instantly agreeing.

"And... you might want to remember to change your clothes."

With a cheeky smile, looking like she had put her worries aside, Ji Liushuang added before leaving.

That’s true.

Fu Qian looked down at himself.

He had used the Biochemical Demon Arm during an initial ark exploration earlier, which ruined his entire outfit, leaving his left hand bare from midnight until now.

Fortunately, no one dared to criticize since the renown of Heaven’s Commencement Institute had grown stronger.
