Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1492: Chapter 1490: Selective Amnesia

"Professor Lanaya."

With the research assistant’s actions, footsteps soon sounded behind the door, even identifiable as descending stairs.

The Ver sisters, being accustomed to luxury, unexpectedly picked a duplex just to stay temporarily.

Fu Qian sighed as the door opened from the inside, and standing there was the somewhat travel-worn Veil.

Regarding her sister’s matters, she was always so concerned.

Considering the time, she must have rushed all the way here, seemingly not even having time to freshen up.

Seeing Ji Liushuang knocking at the door first clearly surprised Veil, but it was only a fleeting moment, after which she smiled in greeting and acknowledged Lanaya behind.

"Professor Fu."

And Fu Qian behind as well.

It was apparent that although she was surprised by how quickly Lanaya had brought the main parties over, she was not too caught off guard.

The reason was simple; the three visitors didn’t just restrain their presence at all but openly discussed the treatment allocation plan along the way.

Being a perceptive transcendent, overhearing some of their conversation and mentally preparing wasn’t surprising at all.

As for why she still waited to come down from upstairs after the knock despite this, Fu Qian found it not hard to guess—

"Professor Lanaya."

The next moment, the girl Riet, in a loose outfit with her left hand hidden under the clothing, followed suit with a respectful greeting.

Veil seemed to intentionally not exhibit her transcendent side to avoid upsetting her sister with certain details.

"Please come in."

Seeing her sister’s complex gaze directed at Fu Qian, Veil subtly invited the three persons in again.

...

"Ji Liushuang, a student, also Professor Fu’s assistant."

Lanaya, feeling a certain familiarity with the Ver sisters, promptly introduced without waiting for questions.

"I just found out that Professor Fu returned only shortly after you; you arrived at the perfect time."

When the Ver sisters exchanged a few pleasantries with Ji Liushuang, Lanaya promptly got to the point.

"So, the subsequent matters will be arranged by Professor Fu personally; feel free to raise any questions."

"Thank you so much! Also, we’ve already disturbed you greatly; please tell us how we can assist."

Veil’s demeanor remained humble and sincere, earnestly thanking once again as she addressed her remarks to Fu Qian afterward.

She appeared genuinely apologetic for disrupting Professor Lanaya’s evening, though it seemed too coincidental.

Being more familiar with Mr. Fu, and given that it was in response to his suggestion, such a change in the situation was nearly the best outcome.

Moreover, the fact that he was actually an Academy Professor...especially considering his previous actions of traveling to the Ring Islands...

Since meeting Lanaya and confirming Mr. Fu’s words, the doubts that have surfaced in her mind now swirled uncontrollably.

"Simply, I will take you to meet a colleague of mine later."

Fu Qian gestured slightly to ease the tension, and finally spoke, boasting about Professor Lisa with efficiency.

"As a key figure at the Heaven’s Commencement Institute, she excels in handling non-human transcendent limbs and will help examine your sister and provide a solution."

...

"Isn’t it your operation...?"

Liet seemed indifferent about the treatment plan, yet Veil hesitated for a moment before whispering a question.

Her lack of surprise suggested she indeed overheard the previous conversation.

However, for Fu Qian to return yet entrust someone else, it puzzled Veil slightly.

"Professor Lisa has more seniority at the Heaven’s Commencement Institute and can easily assemble a consultation team."

It’s perfectly normal for searcher Veil to have such concerns, and Fu Qian calmly explained, continuing to extol.

"I believe this will provide a more suitable solution for Liet, or you could ask her opinion."

"I don’t mind."

Before Veil could say more, Liet had already expressed her stance.

"Hmm... Thank you all for your efforts. Should we prepare now?"

Veil intended only to secure the best conditions for her sister, and since Mr. Fu so highly praised Professor Lisa, she promptly agreed.

"No rush."

Once again signaling to stay calm, Fu Qian observed Liet, who now seemed more subdued than before.

Her willingness to agree with the plan was logically unsurprising.

Dealing with him clearly posed significant psychological pressure for her, yet...

Fu Qian blinked an eye at the next moment.

"Before that, I still need to conduct a preliminary examination on your sister; could you please give us a moment?"

...

Ah?

Didn’t you just delegate the matter?

Upon this statement, only Miss Liushuang remained slightly composed; the others, including Lanaya, were stunned, with the subject Liet suddenly lifting her gaze.

"Go anywhere you like; I just need a little quiet."

However, the demigod’s authority manifested at this point; Fu Qian didn’t bother explaining, further requesting.

"Alright... then it’s in your hands, Professor Fu; we’ll step outside now."

After a brief silence, it was finally Veil who made the decision, even giving her sister an encouraging look, the latter pursing her lips wordlessly.

"Alright."

As the parties agreed, Lanaya merely cast Fu Qian an odd glance but did not object.

"It won’t take long, and the examination will be under rather special circumstances."

Quickly, only Fu Qian and Liet, who instinctively maintained distance, remained in the vast space.

Not standing on ceremony, he initiated the Clear Dream Ring after a prompt, enveloping Liet within.

The preliminary check was no excuse; the tests previously commissioned to the Ver sisters needed validation now.

Whether Alarakir was genuinely impenetrable, just as the storage said, needed verifying.

"Am I dreaming now?"

Yet, Liet’s behavior within the dream differed slightly from before.

After instinctively scanning the surroundings, unable to ascertain the changed situation, she proactively inquired.

Clearly aware of what special examination entailed.

"Yes, just like last time."

Amused by the contrast, Fu Qian confirmed Liet’s guess.

"That’s a relief."

She sighed with relief and then intently looked at Fu Qian.

"I forgot what you told me..."

"No trace was left at all, and I’ve confirmed this repeatedly over the past few days..."
