Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2044: Chapter 2039: Second Visit

Professor Lisa is apparently very enthusiastic about promoting the full cooperation between the two laboratories, often coming over here without a reason.

Although today’s matter seems to pertain to administrative issues.

She appears to be here to find the temporary spokesperson to confirm the situation about the recent developments in the Divine Ashes Institute.

It must be said that she still has a strong sense of collective honor and isn’t afraid of authority—

”...You just got back?”

For instance, when facing a certain returning president from a scientific expedition, she doesn’t even bother with formalities.

Seeing Cass leisurely drinking tea with Fu Qian, Lisa’s eyes widened instantly, and she rudely came over to sit down.

”Just got back.”

Cass didn’t mind at all, admitting with a cheerful smile.

”Just got back and you’re here drinking tea?”

Lacking satisfaction with the pervasive atmosphere of loafing around, Lisa naturally urged the leadership to make progress.

”It seems there isn’t much going on, you’ve done very well.”

Cass, clearly accustomed to it, continued to smile, taking a cup to pour one for her as well.

That’s also true...

Professor Lisa wasn’t very concerned about some empty recognition, but the notion of nothing significant happening did indeed leave her momentarily speechless.

”It’s all thanks to Professor Fu, I didn’t do anything.”

But as an honest intellectual, Lisa had no intention of taking undue credit, only casting a glance at Fu Qian beside her.

”Professor Lisa is modest, everything relies on everyone’s cooperation.”

Knowing more insiders’ details, observing this Heaven’s Commencement Institute Instructor gives a somewhat unique perspective.

As earlier mentioned, in terms of appearance and demeanor, she is completely unlike Kaldora.

This is likely why there has been no circulating rumor about it, even though it happened long ago, more than Cass alone in the Academy is familiar with Kaldora.

Even from the perspective of Cass, it doesn’t seem like he simply regards Lisa as a substitute or continuation of Kaldora, perhaps just entrusting some hopes upon her.

Out of courtesy, Fu Qian didn’t focus his gaze on Professor Lisa’s neck; he understands that the involved parties are somewhat sensitive about this issue.

Regardless of how exquisite the adornment might appear, more than sufficient as decoration, comparing to its efficacy, its look is somewhat ordinary.

The means to control the transformation of flesh and blood—where did Cass find such a thing?

Besides, his intuition wasn’t wrong—although Professor Lisa has threatened him more than once by pretending to remove it, fundamentally she is actually quite timid in appearance.

If he did agree, she might just give him a gentle bite.

”You two... you’re not plotting something, are you?”

Unfortunately, even so, it didn’t prevent Professor Lisa from making some peculiar speculations.

Faced with the amicable two major figures of the Heaven’s Commencement Institute, her expression slightly eased, but her suspicious gaze swept across the two of them.

”Don’t worry.”

Fu Qian waved his hand, indicating there was no need for concern.

”It’s all been done.”

...

With young people, one must leverage their rebellious psychology.

For instance, at the statement that things had already been done, Lisa’s heart skipped a beat; after all, the pressure from two notorious Demigods is quite overwhelming.

”Suit yourselves, if something goes wrong, it’s your mess to deal with.”

However, she soon felt indignant about her own reaction, letting out a snort of discontent.

”...I heard that the genius student newly developed by the Divine Ashes Institute has been lured over by you again?”

Unfortunately, in terms of composure, she is evidently still far behind the two Demigods.

Though the tea was indeed good, by the second sip, she couldn’t help but speak again.

”Ah? Who did you hear that from?”

Professor Fu exhibited a surprised face, as though he couldn’t believe that his lifetime of integrity could suffer such slander.

”No need to hear, just now I saw your research assistant giving a tour to someone at the Swordsmanship Department.”

Unfortunately, having gone through various hardships, Professor Lisa seemed to have become immune to ignoring any tone or expression from this person in front of her, completely unmoved.

So, it made sense why Miss Liushuang would carelessly end up next door, increasing the risk of this meeting being disturbed.

It was all because Professor Lisa wasn’t staying in the lab but went out wandering randomly and bumped into them.

At that moment, Fu Qian felt this was reasonable.

Even so, evidently, she still isn’t aware of Wen Li’s current real achievements, and the Divine Ashes Institute probably isn’t in a mood for promotion either.

”By the way, how did you manage that? The Swordsmanship Department could be disregarded, but the Divine Ashes Institute is making every effort to achieve something. Won’t they come for you if you disrupt things like this?”

Before Fu Qian could explain, Lisa was already muttering to herself in astonishment.

It was clear she found it difficult to comprehend how the atmosphere in this place could remain so calm at this time.

”Actually, it’s not as exaggerated as that.”

And seeing even the returned President Cass showing interest, Fu Qian chuckled heartily.

”It’s just that the Spirit Ash Mentors were moved by my love for talent, adhering to the spirit of student-oriented beliefs, and eventually decided on joint cultivation. The person involved is very fond of this model and has greatly improved.”

Such things were not something that could possibly stump Professor Fu, and he promptly provided an offhand explanation.

I...

Although it was hard to believe, with the collaborative project case with her own lab placed in front of her, Lisa found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

”Oh... How significant is the improvement?”

At this time, it was Cass next to him who continued to inquire.

”Demigod.”

Fu Qian blinked, offering a chilling epithet.

...

”That student is already a Demigod? How is this possible...”

When she spoke again, Professor Lisa was filled with an existential crisis.

”Regrettably, it’s indeed the truth. This is the superiority of joint cultivation, which Professor Veron and I confirmed together yesterday.

”However... It’s indeed a bit too quiet around here right now; they also scheduled another visit to exchange.”

Fu Qian nodded to indicate she hadn’t misheard, then seamlessly shifted his gaze around the area.

Indeed, his statement resonated quickly, and Professor Lisa furrowed her brows even tighter, realizing there might be more hidden intricacies involved.

”Interested in going over to exchange proactively?”

However, before she could think of any more insights, she heard Fu Qian casually suggest.

Going over for an exchange? Again?

At that moment, Lisa’s gaze became somewhat vacant.

The arranged exchange wasn’t attended, so we should take the initiative to visit?

It sounded reasonable, yet still too reminiscent of previous door-to-door scientific expeditions.

Even the personnel were still the three before them—

”Indeed, let’s take the initiative to pay a visit then, to show the grace of our Heaven’s Commencement.”

Sure enough, before she could voice an opinion, Cass had already agreed cheerfully.
