“That's right, it's basically considered completed.”
Although his appearance was miserable, and some parts of his clothing were even tattered, Fu Qian naturally wouldn't be embarrassed. He finally got out of bed to share information.
“There were indeed some dangers, and a group of us almost didn't make it back. However, at the request of the client, I need to keep the details confidential for the time being.”
Of course, professional ethics still existed. Fu Qian didn't reveal too much to this knowledge-hungry colleague.
“As if anyone is interested in knowing… So, your condition is because of going back to deal with that?”
Professor Lisa snorted in disdain, as expected.
“Yes.”
Mentioning the losses, Fu Qian couldn't help but sigh, but he still didn't forget to tidy up his collar and cuffs to maintain his posture.
“Your recovery ability is enviable, but why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Are you that poor?”
Between gestures, the fair skin beneath the blood-stained clothes was naturally seen by Professor Lisa. Knowing that the person in front of her was completely fine, she continued to complain boldly.
“Poor and busy.”
Fu Qian simply shook his head, recalling the heroic events of yesterday, and casually invited her downstairs to talk in detail.
“So pitiful? Want me to give you a piece of clothing?”
Surveying the surrounding splendor, Lisa naturally couldn't believe such nonsense. She followed him downstairs while sneering repeatedly, and couldn't help but ask with concern after sitting down.
“No thanks.”
Professor Fu unexpectedly didn't try to take advantage, although the reason was—
“I'm not used to wearing leather.”
Looking Lisa up and down, Fu Qian's gaze finally landed on the accessory around her neck.
It must be admitted that although it was somewhat incongruous with the intellectual image, the black ring on her snow-white neck was indeed visually striking and suited her very well.
After all, Professor Lisa's own temperament was such that no style of glasses frame could suppress her excessive charm.
“Oh… I thought you liked it a lot.”
Even her voice was. After a brief pause, Professor Lisa's gaze wandered from Fu Qian's chest all the way down to under his buttocks. When she spoke again, her voice was a bit hoarse.
Last time, this person used a similar tone to invite Professor Fu to her laboratory to sit down. Even now, her hand was already lightly stroking her neck.
…
Indeed, just like what was said earlier, she didn't disappoint my teachings.
Faced with such a scene, Fu Qian nodded again at that moment, sighing with relief.
The meaning of Professor Lisa's glance was very clear: 'You're sitting on a chair that looks like snakeskin right now, and you're telling me you don't like leather?'
It was logical, well-reasoned, and clear in thought.
Racial issues have always been a knot in the heart of this Enlightened Elite. However, after my straightforward stimulation just now, she not only didn't break down but even completed such a sharp counterattack. This mental health work has clearly been effective, and the thickness of her skin faintly has the potential of a demigod.
Dean Cass would definitely be very pleased to see such a scene when he returns, right?
“Makes sense, okay.”
Unceremoniously claiming credit for his own teaching, Fu Qian pondered slightly and flexibly accepted the suggestion.
You really…
At that moment, Professor Lisa's fingers froze on her neck. Although she didn't speak, one could understand something from her actions.
In the end, she's still young. She can't handle it after just a few rounds.
Fu Qian didn't blame her in his heart, just smiled like an elder.
Professor Lisa couldn't stand this, and the next moment, she clenched her teeth, her fingers actually fiddling with the ring.
However, just as a trace of fluctuation surged out from above, and even a strange sweet fragrance filled the air, her movements suddenly stopped.
“I also heard that people from Spirit Ashes came to your place?”
After a moment of stiffness, Professor Lisa directly put down her hand, sat down elegantly, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened.
“Yes, Ni Huayuan led people here, just like you guessed before.”
With a soft rubbing sound, the laboratory door was pushed open from the outside.
“Professor Fu… Professor Lisa.”
Ji Liushuang, the laboratory assistant who hadn't been seen for two days, walked in and greeted the two of them softly after seeing the scene inside the door.
…
“Have you been a little busy these past two days?”
Professor Lisa was obviously not surprised by Liushuang's sudden return. She nodded, looking her up and down with a calm expression, and even offered a word of comfort.
This was the reason for suddenly stopping just now. After all, she was a Fourth-Order Transcendent, and her perception was still sensitive.
At the moment of making up her mind, Liushuang entered her perception range, reminding Professor Lisa, who always valued her image, of the word 'teacher'.
Of course, as the well-known next-generation demigod of the academy, no one would doubt Professor Fu's perception, so Liushuang must have entered his perception range even earlier.
It was a pity that Professor Lisa, who knew she had been set up again, also knew that this student was very clever. For a moment, she couldn't even find a chance to glare back fiercely.
Of course, she wasn't just trying to find a topic to avoid embarrassment. Compared to the past, Ji Liushuang, who had always been capable, was obviously not as energetic, and her emotions didn't seem too high.
“It's okay, there were some things at home, but they've been taken care of.”
Ji Liushuang didn't hide it, nodding and directly saying that she was burdened by family affairs, her expression calm.
“So that's how it is…”
Having interacted with her a lot recently, Lisa obviously knew something about this student's family situation, and therefore easily understood that the other party was inevitably burdened by worldly affairs, and immediately expressed understanding.
“However, in this world, strength is ultimately the foundation of everything. Try not to let it affect too much energy.”
Of course, precisely because of this friendship, she couldn't help but remind her.
“Next time, you can ask your employer for help.”
She didn't forget to find some work for Fu Qian to do, in order to retaliate.
“Professor Fu has already helped a lot.”
Only then did Ji Liushuang naturally look over, preemptively speaking before Professor Fu could say anything.
Look, what's called a gap.
Fu Qian's smile remained unchanged, not at all embarrassed by the Ji family's name, while praising in his heart.
Professor Lisa may have concealed it very well, but there was still a gap between her and Liushuang.
Without deliberately concealing anything, I believe Professor Lisa was completely unaware of Ji Liushuang's strangeness, which was originally related to herself.
In addition, things did seem to be taken care of.
“Just a small effort.”
Casually saying a polite word, Fu Qian's gaze fell on a box in Ji Liushuang's hand.
Axe of Rebellion… The Ji family is indeed very generous.
