Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1491: Chapter 1489: The Troubles of the Young Riet

Do you think I don’t know that the main fuel for your anger is because your nightlife has been affected?

Adults need to learn to find the cause within themselves; can you be found in a place where no alcohol is served?

The momentum of attack and defense is different. Under Fu Qian’s righteous stare, although silent, Lanaia still felt the accusation within.

"They’re not too far, once we’ve finished eating, I’ll take you over."

But, credit where credit is due, having been in a leadership position for many years, she adeptly used her power to hear the unsaid and completely ignored the underlying message, saying in all seriousness.

Hmph, let’s at least maintain some dignity for the Academy.

Professor Fu, of course, is not someone who presses the advantage needlessly. Seeing that she eventually restrained her arrogance, he didn’t continue to pester and cause laughter.

And the two onlookers, including Jia Keke, were quite graceful as well, always maintaining a natural expression.

...

"Among the two, is the sister named Riet in a bad mood? Is it related to you?"

It didn’t take long; breakfast concluded in a harmonious atmosphere. The three quickly set off on the path of the suspension bridge.

As for Jia Keke, whose work schedule was altered again, she signaled that she could go back and rest first. She apparently didn’t mind at all, even seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Combining previous observations, Fu Qian understood that, compared to wasting a trip, she prefers not discussing company secrets in front of a third party.

For Lanaia, although her emotions were battered in the middle, successfully returning the task to the person involved was ultimately solving a hassle.

So she hadn’t gone far before she became refreshed again, even proactively asking about the related situation.

"Kind of."

This statement successfully reminded Fu Qian of young Riet’s troubles and her innate Transcendent Insulating Saint Body.

"After assessment, I informed her that her talent was incomparable to her sister’s, destined to have no connection with the Transcendent, and might as well pursue a different glorious life."

Seeing that the words seemed to spark Ji Liushuang’s interest, Fu Qian spoke truthfully under their curious gaze.

...You’re really not tactful!

Though the words were straightforward, they still shook one’s heart.

Even Ji Liushuang, who hadn’t met the person involved, couldn’t hide the shock on her face, seemingly imagining the blow Riet must have received.

The road to the Transcendent cut off was one thing, but being told she’s no match for her sister? Anyone with a stronger personality would hardly be in a good mood.

"No wonder there’s an awkward sense between the sisters; your level of sowing discord is strong, isn’t it?"

Lanaia’s reaction was the same, staring wide-eyed at Fu Qian.

"Is that why Riet chose to do what she did?"

"Let me emphasize, that had nothing to do with me."

Seeing Lanaia’s thoughts quickly diverge, Fu Qian interrupted her inappropriate associations and gestured toward his arm, indicating Riet’s limb attachment operation was unrelated to him.

Taking the blame is fine, but such a low-level accusation lacks professionalism, which truly taints our academic leader’s reputation.

"That’s more like it."

Though the idea was dismissed, Lanaia’s expression eased somewhat, frowning as she looked at Fu Qian.

"If it was really your doing, you couldn’t avoid suspicions of abducting naive young girls—"

"You’re wrong again, these are separate matters."

Unfortunately, Professor Fu remained ungrateful, once more interrupting at high speed.

"Abducting naive young girls is something I often do."

...

Do you seem proud of it?

Once again stunned by Fu Qian’s honesty, Lanaia wore an expression of familial misfortune. Her first instinct was to glance at Ji Liushuang next to her.

This remark leaves little room to retort, with a ready example right here.

The talented Swordsmanship Department student was lured into being a laboratory assistant, and she indeed recently received related complaints.

Key point, if memory serves, the breakfast payment earlier was covered by the research assistant.

Just as Jian Jingzheng’s complaints stated, the actions were outrageous.

"So what choice did Riet make?"

The exceptionally intelligent Miss Liushuang naturally grasped the meaning of that glance.

Seeing Professor Lanaya at a loss for words again, she timely spoke up to break the silence, curiously asking.

"Limb attachment, one of her arms was once changed into a claw. Of course, even so, she’s still no match for her sister."

Fu Qian did not shy away from explaining this.

"Her sister Veil spent considerable effort to rescue her from the illegal organization and found a way to erase past traces."

"Unfortunately, due to the long time, the recovery is just ordinary. Even now, it’s still somewhat uncoordinated."

Illegal organization...

Listening to Fu Qian recounting the medical history casually, though the wording was wild, it didn’t obscure the understanding of the illegal organization’s Saintess.

Realizing that Riet was once a member of the Rebirth Club made Ji Liushuang feel it was much more reasonable for these strange visitors to find this place.

Of course, externally, there was no visible anomaly, only a touch of regret.

"Indeed irrational, but it’s understandable why a young mind would take steps to reach this point."

...

Even though the sister’s age is older than yours, who taught you these elder-like sayings?

Although Ji Liushuang’s sentiment was sincere, to the two listeners familiar with human nature in the Transcendent, it first provoked Professor Lanaya’s inner complaint.

Without needing proof, she directly attributed it to another of Fu Qian’s sins—corrupting the mind and body of a promising youth.

"It’s just ahead."

While worried about the moral and ideological upbringing of an excellent student, she didn’t make empty accusations next but gestured to the place nearby.

"They seem not in too much of a rush, so I suggested they pause here first and reside nearby."

"Having understood the specific situation, I escorted them here all the way, ready to return to the Academy for processing, but didn’t expect to encounter you on the way."

Explaining the reason for her sudden appearance, Lanaia looked at Fu Qian.

"You’re back, are you sure you don’t want to handle it yourself?"

"What? No confidence in Professor Lisa?"

Fu Qian raised his eyebrows, instantly standing up for his colleague.

"Just some limb attachment after-effects, Professor Lisa’s academic drive is beyond your imagination."

"Suggesting Riet to volunteer here was primarily for her recovery, but also hoping some young mentors would gain more case studies."

"You really never forget the Academy’s development, do you."

Lanaia finally sighed in resignation, indicating Heaven’s Commencement Institute truly found a gem.

Knock knock!

In silence, volunteer Miss Liushuang was already walking ahead, smiling as she knocked on a door after confirming with Lanaia.
