Chapter 1551: Chapter 1546: The Night Watchman’s Commission

”Thankfully, it was actually just a guise, conducting personal matters under the pretext of a scientific examination.”

In response to Li Weixuan’s consolation, Fu Qian replied with a startling sincerity, while secretly lamenting that he indeed was increasingly taking on the aura of a boss.

It is well-known that true masters often do not need to seek out tasks, as tasks always find them.

Li Weixuan’s visit had an obvious purpose; the intentions expressed through Miss Liushuang’s inquiries yesterday must have received a prompt response from him.

However, given that it was a mere triviality, obtaining an initial response and then coming in person for further discussion was distinctly intriguing.

”...Professor Fu is truly honest.”

Clearly, the upfront answer before was surprising to Li Weixuan.

But after being taken aback for a moment, he soon broke into a hearty laugh.

Not only was there no intention of further pursuing the topic, but the manner of the conversation became even more relaxed.

”Earlier, I was worried that I might be overworking you, but now it seems I don’t have to concern myself with that.”

”Regarding the matter of the Night Watchman, Liushuang has already informed me. Thank you for your enthusiasm; my visit today is mainly to discuss some details.”

Without beating around the bush, after expressing his intentions openly, Li Weixuan seemed to be influenced by Fu Qian’s style of communication and spoke rather straightforwardly.

”Although the matter appears simple, the issues involved are somewhat special. If, upon understanding them, you choose not to get involved, that’s entirely okay.”

”Understood.”

Fu Qian slightly nodded, the peculiar phrasing making him realize something in the next moment.

”Is it related to the previous incident involving Ian?”

A matter that Li Weixuan deemed himself a suitable candidate to handle, yet also highlighted that one could decline upon consideration, evidently indicating the topic might be sensitive.

Since joining the Academy, the only prominent research achievement was the brilliant resolution of the conflict with Professor Ian.

Might the Night Watchman have made further breakthroughs in this area?

”To be precise... what we need your help with next, is to confirm whether it is related.”

...

Having dealt with him before, Li Weixuan clearly anticipated the acumen of this newly appointed demigod.

Yet, the smooth flow of this conversation still left him somewhat surprised.

”The matter is straightforward. After Ian’s previous incident was formally reported, the feedback from the Night Watchman side did not suggest any changes to our handling.”

Li Weixuan then disclosed the final results of the previous demigod incident.

The decisive and firm self-corrective actions taken by the Academy, it seemed, had finally garnered recognition from the Night Watchman, who no longer intended to pursue the issue further.

”However, they made an additional request and even specifically sent over an item.”

As he said this, Li Weixuan’s expression became somewhat peculiar.

”I don’t have the item on me now, but to describe it, it’s like a sphere of several dozen finger bones intertwining and grasping each other.”

”The explanation provided by the Night Watchman headquarters was that this item had been recently confiscated and possesses certain special effects on human desires and psyche.”

”And our reported findings regarding the abnormal behavior of the victims made them draw some relative associations.”

”So they hope we can assist in confirming the relevance, to facilitate a reassessment of its danger level.”

As expected, an item suspected of having properties related to ecstasy?

Li Weixuan, evidently untouched by the bad habits of leadership speech, succinctly laid out the essence of the matter.

And upon hearing about the item he mentioned, Fu Qian seemed able to envision its unique appearance.

The stable conclusion of Ian’s incident was evidently a relief to the Academy, especially the Spirit Ash Institute.

In such circumstances, meeting some minor requests from the Night Watchman was evidently a pleasure.

Moreover, the Night Watchman’s request was quite reasonable, seeking an evaluation report on allegedly related items from an academic institution seemed very appropriate.

...

”The Night Watchman does not take a harsh stance, clearly saying they wish for us to help verify.”

Seeing that Fu Qian showed no doubt, Li Weixuan continued.

”That’s why I initially tasked Chang Mo with handling it, and Brother Yuan Fang also sent someone to assist.”

”Upon hearing of your return, I felt that you might be more suitable for this matter and had Miss Liushuang ask you.”

Indeed, given the fact that I personally ended Brother Ian and my rank has reached demigod status, there’s likely no better candidate for this task within the entire Academy.

Fu Qian slightly nodded, affirming Li Weixuan’s perspective.

Chang Mo was someone he remembered, the Swordsmanship Department instructor who was particularly fond of Ji Liushuang.

Though his rank wasn’t very high, his thinking was considered thorough enough, likely producing a sound test report.

Of course, on a theoretical level, members of the Swordsmanship Department weren’t particularly suited to this aspect; the ideal candidates would be those from Linghui.

But given the choice between avoiding further complications and rehabilitating them through contribution, Li Weixuan seemed to have chosen the former.

As for other members of the Heaven’s Commencement Institute?

Aside from my absence, Cass apparently is also absent under the guise of a scientific examination.

”That’s roughly the process, Professor Fu. If you prefer not to court more trouble, I would completely understand. Given the current developments, the Night Watchman ought to pose no further concerns.”

Yet, you’ve still chosen to seek my opinion.

Facing Li Weixuan’s concluding remarks, Fu Qian internally echoed a thought.

For such a minor matter, Li Weixuan, the acting dean, wouldn’t expend energy merely to please the Night Watchman.

The inquiry initiated after my return likely had a genuine purpose.

”Leave it to me.”

Fu Qian spoke decisively in the next moment.

”Just the sight of such unaesthetic objects is something I equally wish to avoid.”

”...That’s great!”

Li Weixuan, momentarily surprised by Fu Qian’s decisive acceptance, then openly expressed his satisfaction.

”Speaking strictly of personal sentiment, such objects... I hardly wish for their presence in this world.”

”Understood, do I need to retrieve it from the Swordsmanship Department?”

Having no doubt about Li Weixuan’s words, Fu Qian showed considerable enthusiasm.

”No need, I’ll ask Professor Chang to bring it over directly later.”

Clearly not intending for Fu Qian to personally exert himself, Li Weixuan waved a hand dismissively.

”If Professor Fu needs any assistance, feel free to ask, and I will arrange for them to support you fully.”

”As a matter of fact, there is.”

The next moment, Fu Qian pointed around without any reservation.

”I’ve just begun preparations to upgrade the laboratory facilities.”
