Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2298: Chapter 2293: Different Paths, Same Destination

The designs were not consistent, but they all appeared to have the same high purity, and the size was similar.

In the true golden morning light, Fu Qian silently observed the things that appeared since he left.

One of the laboratory equipment that Professor Chang Mo had previously been asked to prepare, a perfectly weighted golden candlestick, was already consumed during the refining process.

Originally thinking of applying for another one, he didn’t expect that someone had already prepared it during his absence, even after careful consideration.

As for who did it, that was too obvious.

It’s highly unlikely that Chang Mo and the others would be so laid-back, while the two stationed here at the moment both have wealth, yet Wen Li apparently lacks the concept.

The lab assistant certainly remains diligent and responsible.

Feeling sentimental, Fu Qian even took a moment to play with it, confirming that the density was perfectly fine.

So, with such a responsible student like Miss Liushuang, she’s still touring with guest student Miss Wen?

When dealing with spiritual matters, resolving them often proves somewhat troublesome.

Even after resolving the troubles, confirming the absence of aftereffects is quite an undertaking.

So there’s a good chance the grand cleanup over at the Divine Ashes Institute is still ongoing.

In such circumstances, Wen Li undoubtedly can’t just walk away.

And Miss Liushuang has long regarded reception as part of her job responsibilities, who knows what meticulously arranged projects she has prepared.

Feeling the academy was operating in perfect order, Fu Qian didn’t mind the lack of a welcoming committee and directly went to take a shower and changed clothes, trying to immerse himself in this vibrant atmosphere.

So is there still no one coming to serve tea?

But having been in a high position for so long, inevitably cultivates some bad habits.

Just after enjoying a leisurely morning with a fresh outlook, Fu Qian seemed to feel something was missing.

And instead of sitting there displeased, he immediately stood up, sharp and alert.

He quickly locked onto a building not far away.

...

It had to be said, although the overall design of the lab was not as lavish as his own, the scenery around Professor Lisa’s residence was evidently better.

Even due to the terrain, the warm breeze made it feel warmer than his place, which was consistent with her lab’s internal style.

Ultimately, the person involved might have said the lab was voluntarily offered by the Dean of Heaven’s Commencement Institute, yet all conditions seemed like they were specially prepared for her.

While marveling at life’s opportunities, Fu Qian had already arrived at Professor Lisa’s door.

Indeed, she could request for her own office facilities over there, so dropping by here shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Regarding the research outcomes of the Bone Spirit Realm, Fu Qian was still very keen to know Cass’s thoughts upon returning.

"What are you——"

Unfortunately, from the participants’ perspective, the ambiance seemed not that relaxed and leisurely.

Even before Fu Qian could knock, the door opened from the inside.

And Lisa’s face couldn’t hide the vigilance.

...

"What kind of expression is this, is this professor so untrustworthy?"

Fu Qian was naturally not very satisfied with such a greeting gesture.

"No, it’s just that I have too much confidence in you."

Under righteous questioning, Professor Lisa perhaps finally sensed something amiss.

After all, numerous recent achievements were inspired by the other party.

Yet not losing momentum, with a slightly embarrassed face, she didn’t forget to retort.

"Thought I could keep things quiet for a few days — didn’t expect you’d be back so soon.

"Did you settle what you hurried off to do?"

While simultaneously complaining, she had already moved aside to let the guest in.

"How should I say this... it can’t be considered strictly settled, but quite rewarding."

Fu Qian entered directly without being polite, speaking truthfully.

As for Professor Lisa’s interest, it wasn’t surprising.

At the time, accidentally inspecting the results with Cass, she had looked somewhat despondent.

And perhaps knowing his indifference to fame, Lisa clearly wouldn’t believe he was deliberately abstaining from attending just to give her the credit.

The real person in charge coming back and immediately leaving was clearly due to matters needing resolution, not fear of punishment.

"I thought nothing could stump Professor Fu?"

Clearly, the answer was somewhat surprising to Lisa, as she gazed stunned at Fu Qian’s face.

In principle, such an efficient return should suggest things went astonishingly smoothly.

"How could it be! The secrets of the transcendent are vast and nebulous, humility must be maintained at all times."

Waving his hand, Fu Qian sighed with full posture—

"So that’s what you call peace and quiet?"

And at the next moment, he halted his steps, observing the scene before him, and also retorted at Professor Lisa’s previous remark.

Miss Liushuang, Miss Wen, and that over there... is it Riet?

Three pairs of eyes were gazing in unison, listening to the exchange between the two experts.

...

Not long ago, you said this professor was always disturbing peace, now you’re hosting a daycare at home?

Isn’t that a bit double standard?

The scene before him was somewhat peculiar.

Earlier, he had wondered what project Miss Liushuang arranged for Wen Li early in the morning, only to find out it was visiting revered seniors.

Considering the closeness, it seemed reasonable... but what about Riet over there?

Previously, through his mediation, Professor Lisa did treat her hand, though imagining her providing post-operative services is difficult.

Additionally, the three people sitting around the table were presented with an array of papers.

It seemed something was originally keeping them busy, interrupted by his arrival.

"Just take a break then."

At this moment, Lisa gestured to put aside the current matters, first receiving Professor Fu’s presence and guidance.

Phew——

To this, the three individuals collectively sighed with relief, genuinely appearing relaxed.

"Should I get some drinks?"

Clearly the most familiar with the place, Ji Liushuang immediately stood up, smiling while seeking Professor Lisa’s approval, only heading to the side after confirmation.

...

It’s finally come full circle, after all, drinking tea was still on the agenda, even brewed by his lab assistant.

With such developments, Fu Qian maintained a very laid-back attitude, sitting down without waiting for an invitation.

In comparison, the remaining two were a bit more restrained.

With a smile, Wen Li looked over without rushing to speak, appearing in quite good health.

As for the remaining Riet, since she let go not long ago, she seemed much more relaxed overall.

Though her gaze accidentally drifted between Wen Li and himself, seemingly exercising gossip talent, indulging in some wild thoughts.

"What do you think we’re doing?"

At the same time, Professor Lisa had already grabbed a sheet of paper and tossed it over.
