Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2310: Chapter 2305: Professor Fu’s Terms

Inside the enclosed room, words shocked the entire audience.

Old Master Veron and his companion visibly appeared a bit gloomy, their guarded intentions evident.

Fu Qian wasn’t particularly displeased by this, given his own dubious reputation.

Whether it was actually about abducting secret treasures, or merely malicious ridicule, past precedents were there.

Though the two before him were certainly veterans of the Supernatural Realm, they seemed unused to dealing with such situations adeptly.

And they held certain biases against Professor Fu’s professionalism.

After a brief moment of surprise, it was clear Old Master Veron was mentally tallying his assets to deal with any potential robbery.

Little did they know there’s a saying: Academic workers should always focus on academia.

”Simply put, I have a friend who is quite interested in your training model.”

In the slightly oppressive atmosphere, Fu Qian suddenly broke the impasse with a laugh and a wave.

”If possible, I’d like the professors to make it convenient at the appropriate time for her to pursue further studies at Linghui.”

Hmm... Ah?

When it comes to the field of training, the two professors were indeed deeply rooted, not to mention a recent successful case was even right beside them.

However, the fact that even Professor Fu was delving into education clearly surprised them significantly.

Upon understanding the request for compensation, the professors fell into prolonged silence, not even exchanging glances.

Meanwhile, Wen Li silently glanced over, engaging in some nonverbal introduction.

Everyone knew she was the success story, so this reaction wasn’t unexpected.

But Fu Qian understood well that Wen Li could immediately guess who it was.

Earlier, he just mentioned how Chief Yuan greatly envied her achievements.

”We haven’t fully resolved some hidden risks here, and it’s really hard to guarantee there won’t be any dangers... If it’s Professor Fu’s friend, why not arrange for them to exchange at Heaven’s Commencement Institute?”

But in everything left unsaid, Wen Li didn’t bother to elaborate, and soon after, Professor Viron spoke up, sounding somewhat hesitant.

”Oh? I actually understand the difficulty.”

With slightly narrowed eyes, Fu Qian’s smile remained unwavering.

Involving backdoor dealings in admissions is indeed sensitive, where carelessness can mar a lifetime’s reputation.

The two old professors cherish their reputations, which is entirely reasonable.

But it’s widely known that colleagues’ relationships are also reasonable.

”Miss Wen is also my friend and is here for advanced studies at Linghui, isn’t she?”

In the next moment, Fu Qian gestured to the young demigod beside him, his tone suddenly full of implications.

...

What’s this guy up to?

At that moment, it seemed possible to hear the professors’ unspoken thoughts echoing underground.

Even after a brief contemplation, Fu Qian’s abstract demand was still hard for them to digest.

”Professor Fu, you’re joking... But even if it’s true, please believe there’s absolutely no issue, Linghui is always welcoming, just like Wen Li.”

The response was wanting to end the topic quickly.

Old Master Veron chuckled, even giving Wen Li a special glance to express his determination.

In summary, under the strategy of threat and promise from the new powerhouse, Professor Fu from the Academy, they finally relented.

And when Veron glanced at Wen Li, she merely retreated with an unchanged expression, bowing her head silently.

Very good, Miss Wen’s acting skills have always been reassuring.

Fu Qian silently praised her in his heart.

Though his words initially sounded shocking, even as if he was openly admitting to putting on a show earlier.

But such words in different contexts lead to completely different perceptions.

Instead of suggesting he was offering an example, revealing he already knew Wen Li and had been leveraging their joint training... The implied threat in the prior conversation seemed more significant.

He was cautioning Professor Viron that the newly risen demigod was gradually being recruited by him, implying that if such small requests were not met, don’t blame him for twisting facts later and attributing all credit for the youngest demigod’s training to Heaven’s Commencement Institute.

Even if you have integrity, you must account for the resources devoted to Linghui, correct?

Hmph, because backdoor dealings don’t require public attention, they often don’t need to be amicable.

Ultimately, the two old-fashioned intellectuals were still subdued by the cards flashed.

”Haha, I was just being reckless, seeing the professors seemed somewhat somber, I wanted to lighten the mood.”

As the topic concluded, Fu Qian’s demeanor quickly switched to amicable cheerfulness.

Even genuinely aligning with Old Master Veron’s suggestion, indicating that it was all just a jest.

”As part of the Academy, it’s merely a difference in perspective, Heaven’s Commencement Institute and Linghui ought to support each other—”

Without waiting for Veron and his companion to speak further, Fu Qian was already moving closer to the seated figure, bowing his head to observe.

In that brief moment, dense tissues were interweaving upon the previously skeletal head.

A bizarre new face was quickly forming.

Suddenly, the reasons for the movement below made sense.

”Wen Li, use the Kaleidoscope on him.”

After maintaining such actions for just a little while, Fu Qian again turned back, giving instructions to Wen Li.

...

Huh?

Professor Fu’s sudden one-eighty in attitude was certainly mentally taxing in its logic, leading some to question his sanity.

But regardless, for Veron and his companion, it at least seemed like things were getting on track.

Even if they were just boasting, at least it was about serious matters, but this—

Another mutual silence ensued, until Wen Li, herself a bit stunned, first responded, stepped forward, and the professors followed her with their gaze.

”He’s... in a fragile state now.”

Recalling Fu Qian’s words, Veron hesitated briefly before choosing to offer a reminder.

”Professor Fu, now isn’t the time for fooling around.”

In contrast, Professor Yang’s lines were less courteous, almost attempting to usher him out.

”Didn’t you make some protective arrangements?”

Unfortunately, Professor Fu’s patience today continued, entirely disregarding the unfriendly tone, merely responding casually.

”Indeed we did... but his condition is greatly compromised, if subjected to strong stimulus, though not necessarily leading to breakdown, it would exacerbate considerable pain.”

Veron didn’t seem entirely without confidence, but while explaining also couldn’t help but frown, emphasizing the risks involved in such actions.

”Understood—”

Though his momentum was strong, Professor Fu wasn’t one to ignore others’ opinions, nodding slightly and then turning to Wen Li with a reminder.

”Remember to choose a lively tune.”
