Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1892: Chapter 1887: Motives and Revelations

Stopping by to check on the progress, Mr. Veron’s reason seems rather perfunctory.

Indeed, Fu Qian never believed the reason for Veron’s presence here.

The reason is simple; one of the purposes of this trip was precisely to find him—or other notable figures of the Divine Ashes Institute.

Not absolutely, but just as I said to Su Gao back then, it was guessed to be a possibility.

The spirit disturbance that swept across the academy earlier, others might not be familiar with it, but for Fu Qian, even if it was weak to that extent, it still easily produced a déjà vu feeling—Wen Li.

Indeed, it was Miss Wen’s ability.

It could almost instantly conjure memories of the emotional ripples she had created before, yet it was very different from usual, for instance, the range of influence had expanded countless times, clearly showing new insights from studying abroad.

Remember, there is still a special shield at the Divine Ashes Institute, and yet it could penetrate through.

...

It’s not surprising to gain some results. Being specialized in this art, even when Wen Li initially sought advice, I never belittled Divine Ashes’s achievements in this area.

Despite transcendent research being merely an experiential science at best, Divine Ashes’ years of accumulation aren’t just an illusion.

As a uniquely gifted individual, Wen Li, while rapidly progressing in strength, stood to benefit greatly from gaining further insights here.

Moreover, given the somewhat awkward situation at the Divine Ashes Institute, to revive its past prestige, even if she’s not a student, she likely receives extra attention.

For instance, top mentors gathering to test and research her abilities, and propose further improvements.

This is why I haven’t gotten involved earlier.

However, the commotion just now was a bit too much.

Intentionally not reacting made things seem unnatural, so it’s better to intervene to curb Divine Ashes’ momentum, and encourage progress.

Back to the original question, why be sure one could find a notable figure from Divine Ashes here?

It’s simple; they had a good chance to come here and wait for me—

Before the disturbance caused by Wen Li, it was my side that first made noise, with the source much easier to determine.

The introverted individuals of Divine Ashes, no matter how clear they seemed to delineate boundaries on the surface, how could they not pay attention to someone like me, a rough and boorish person?

Additionally, my special demeanor during the Meteor Shower incident, being the first to arrive at such a major event, yet showing indifference afterward.

Plus the continuous developments afterward, Li Weixuan suddenly changing his attitude, quietly waiting for the Night Watchman’s opinion.

Until last night, when Su Gao finally arrived with a specially appointed advisor.

Li Weixuan might not publicize it, but there’s a high chance of informing the leadership of various departments.

All these combined, it leads to one conclusion—I am not indifferent to the Meteor Shower incident; on the contrary, I am overly concerned, handling it carefully and studying it.

In this situation, although Wen Li’s disturbance may not have been intentional, after it happened, wouldn’t I, a tense and crude person, make a misjudgment, mistakenly thinking there’s new commotion over here and come to check it out?

Although it’s a matter of probability, for Divine Ashes, who never benefited from my side, it’s a rare moment where they could hold the upper hand mentally.

Perhaps if the timing is right, they could even take the initiative to clarify and apologize, showing full posture.

Of course, the fact that Old Master Veron personally came shows the level of attention I received.

Unfortunately, the pride from laughing secretly, realizing suddenly the other side likely knew your intentions long before, practically being in a higher game layer, brings about a strong backlash.

Especially for Viron Demigod standing atop the proud academy.

”You even knew this?”

After all, being an administrative person, they are still quite informed.

Originally witnessing one party leaving, the atmosphere slightly tense but feeling relieved, Lanaia, for a moment, was startled by the new development and couldn’t help but ask.

”Hmph, though I haven’t achieved much academically over the years, I always pay attention to the growth of the younger generation. How could I not know about such things?”

Yet what she received was a face full of confidence from Fu Qian.

...

I really can’t refute that. The assistant in your lab was transferred from the Swordsmanship Department under strong concern...

Though accustomed to Professor Fu’s venerable demeanor, at that moment, Lanaia still felt somewhat breathless.

To the extent that she couldn’t squeeze out a word, subconsciously hoping this guy wouldn’t utter any more provocative words.

Or perhaps hoping Ms. Su beside him could manage the situation, preventing it from developing in a strange direction.

Unfortunately, in the corner of her eye, Demigod Su just stood there leisurely, highly respecting the advisor’s speaking rights.

”Uncut jade needs fine carving, is it not a pity to let a pearl be cast before swine?”

And at the next moment, as expected, under Professor Viron’s cold scrutiny, Fu Qian nodded slightly, then spouted another famous phrase.

”...Very well, then I’ll express my gratitude on her behalf for your concern here.”

Fortunately, the reassuring thing finally happened, Professor Viron indeed noble in character and admirable in demeanor, unattainable by the folks of Heaven’s Commencement Institute.

At that moment, not only did he miraculously calm down, but he even demonstrated a demeanor that was worlds apart.

”So, when would Professor Fu be available? I will then bring the young person over for a visit.”

And this wasn’t even the end. Before his departure, Professor Viron swept his sleeve and further directly responded to Professor Fu’s earlier teasing words.

So confident, are we?

Faced with such demeanor, even the temporary leader from Heaven’s Commencement, with momentum at its peak, squinted slightly, as if for the first time acknowledging this senior.

”Rest assured, I’ll definitely be there when you arrive.”

Only after a long while did he speak again, clearly unwilling to lose momentum, as Professor Fu unexpectedly accepted this invitation for guidance.

”Good.”

Without any further reaction, Professor Viron finally left cleanly this time, even not forgetting to greet the Night Watchman, Demigod Su, maintaining a strong contrast in demeanor throughout.

”What young person?”

Yet not everyone thought this way, like Professor Luo Bu, watching from the sidelines the whole time. After confirming that the person had left, he seriously inquired about the situation.

Having long been at the bottom of the contempt chain, he clearly had little fondness for Divine Ashes’ behavior.

Meanwhile, recent experiences made him genuinely not doubt Professor Fu’s intention to nurture the younger generation, having a certain worry about the person central to the earlier discussion.

”Apparently a very talented young person, and hopefully she possesses the vision to match.”

Waving his hand casually, though tireless in teaching, Professor Fu also embraced the free-spiritedness of respecting others’ destinies, not persisting in this matter, and turned his gaze towards Lanaia in the next moment.

”Is there any new development here?”
