Chapter 1908: Chapter 1903: Here by Invitation

After the last exploration of the God’s Burial Ground, the curse patterns removed from one’s body led to some special speculations regarding the state of Su Gao.

Especially when she was promoted to a Demigod; the anomalies in that Forbidden Area at the time left a deep impression on Fu Qian.

Whatever the case, it must have triggered some movements of high-level powers.

And this incident at the Academy, though crowded with people, also provided a good opportunity to conduct a somewhat in-depth comparative test.

So far, the results have been reassuring.

Apart from the exaggerated display of abilities and astonishing perception, Su Gao hasn’t shown any extreme abnormalities; at least she still appears as an ”independent structure.”

Some previous peculiar movements seem to be temporarily understood as similar to my own situation when I was the Whiteboard Demigod — simply too popular.

As for why Su Gao could pass the Night Watchman’s political vetting, while I remain concerned?

Just look at the elite Night Watchmen I’ve interacted with so far.

Not to mention the Needle Witch, Corin. Sometimes, it’s easier to hide one’s moral character, and people are ever-changing.

Old Master Henry, Yuan Shan’s teacher, serves as an even more striking example.

Not only is he an Oath Taker of the divine, but he’s also known as ”the cat of two families.”

Passing the Night Watchman’s exam is truly inadequate evidence.

However, Su Gao has passed her initial assessment for now.

At least it was overseen by the academic leader personally, which gives it some credibility.

”Thank you.”

The entire process was made possible with the help of another volunteer.

In his contemplation, Fu Qian accepted the fish without minding its chaotic cutting, and smilingly thanked Sunny.

”...You’re welcome.”

Just waking up from a daydream, there was a slight confusion.

But as mentioned before, compared to Su Gao, Sunny truly wasn’t immersed in the atmosphere.

To the extent that the emotional impact was insignificant, she quickly gathered herself, stating that it was her duty.

Though she noticed the fish was cut rather ungracefully, the bustling business didn’t afford Sunny more time to remedy it.

Soon, new customers arrived, and the small shop entered its busiest period.

In the corner of her busy eyes, Sunny noticed Fu Qian and Su Gao each enjoying their meals.

The only regret was that Professor Lanaia indeed did not visit today.

...

Lord Stos arrived sooner than expected, although his manner of arrival was as predicted.

The vibrant nightlife filled with scents of fried and roasted dishes eventually concluded harmoniously.

After entertaining the Night Watchman envoy, Fu Qian led the guests back to the laboratory for a short rest.

And before noon the next day, he welcomed a most delightful visitor.

With bright red eyes and a thick beard, it was the much-anticipated Old Master Stoss.

Moreover, he wasn’t alone; accompanying him were the newly promoted Demigod Li Weixuan, Yuan Fang, the local Chief of the Night Watchmen, and a certain lady with a baby face.

As expected, Demigod Aike hadn’t hurried back for debriefing.

”You’ve worked hard these past few days, Professor Fu.”

After greeting the seated Su Gao with a slight nod, Stoss seemed more intrigued by the temporary action consultant, scrutinizing carefully before casually greeting.

”This is Lord Stos, who just arrived.”

Yuan Fang timely introduced beside them, with immense respect.

It’s completely understandable; for a small corner of the Academy to gather two Demigods and a Second Phase individual was quite pressuring for him as the host.

Moreover, based on Fu Qian’s previous encounters, while Old Master Stoss wasn’t too difficult to get along with, his temper was certainly not mild.

”It’s what I should do; nice to meet you.”

Still, the academic leader’s excellent personal demeanor made handling the situation no issue at all.

In the next moment, Fu Qian, smiling, invited everyone to sit and rest under Old Master Stoss’s scrutinizing gaze.

Of course, even if the research assistant was at the Academy and there was no one to prepare tea, Fu Qian had no intention of doing it himself, fully showcasing the unyielding demeanor of a scholar.

...

”Your previous gains were quite remarkable; the review panel discussed, worried about unmanageable danger, ultimately decided to have me join the action.”

Although they were sitting face-to-face, Lord Stos’s scrutiny clearly didn’t perturb Professor Fu in any way.

In fact, Fu Qian was confident that the sharp gaze couldn’t glean much.

From last time at the Unseen Hillock, when they cleared it together, it was evident that Old Master wasn’t particularly strong in perception.

Taking care to conceal his own aura, combined with the effect of the Emissary’s Mask, Fu Qian was relatively assured that, unless faced directly in combat, Old Master couldn’t ascertain his true strength.

People like Su Gao and himself, fully maxed out in perception, are ultimately in the minority.

Come to think of it, they’re just missing Xiumeng; the Hunting Squad back then is nearly reunited.

And what if action revealed their true identities?

Kidding — there’s no way Demigod Su would trouble an action consultant with direct combat.

The potential to slack in such a position was always a vital consideration factor.

”That’s wonderful, returning from exploration with Demigod Su, we both agreed there are dangers that might require more High-level Transcendents to oversee.”

Of course, if not actions, then words.

Without needing Su Gao to say anything, Fu Qian had already expressed her welcome on her behalf.

”When is Your Excellency planning to commence action?”

Wasting no more time on pleasantries, he went straight to the point.

”Now.”

In the next moment, Old Master Stoss nodded, firmly.

...

Refreshing, I love the Night Watchmen this straightforward nature.

As expected, Fu Qian still marveled inwardly.

Despite their temper, the Night Watchmen’s rejection of formalities is quite comforting.

Whether it was previously Logan or the current Stoss, they were straightforward people who would proceed without even taking a sip of water.

”Speaking of which, regarding Logan’s previous matters, I must thank you on his behalf.”

As they say, great minds think alike; in the next moment, Stoss also brought it up, turning to Fu Qian with sincerity.

Huh?

This more courteous demeanor undoubtedly astonished everyone present.

The most surprised was, of course, Aike.

Stationed here for days without returning, she seemed to lack some information.

Meanwhile, as a member of the rescue team, she was clearly well aware of Old Master Logan’s defeat in Shangjing from start to end.

”No need to be polite; I’m sorry I couldn’t do more.”

Under her incredulous gaze, the one being thanked nodded slightly, genuinely accepting the gratitude.
