Lisa and the others clearly didn’t expect that the genius girl from the Divine Ashes Institute was actually nurtured single-handedly by Professor Fu.
Moreover, in this process, she summarized and verified a multitude of transcendent knowledge, which led to proposing brand new concepts, with imasurable academic value.
Of course, as intellectuals, they naturally have a high sensitivity to words.
"Really?"
While not surprised by Professor Fu’s confidence, Lisa obviously noticed a peculiarity in the wording and furrowed her brow as she asked.
"For those of us in academia, the thing we should avoid most is sectarian views. Even if we have different ideas, what’s the harm in learning from more young geniuses?"
With a light chuckle, although his tone was calm, Fu never lost the confidence of soone driven by ambition.
"Without this kind of magnanimity, how could we beco the top laboratory in the Academy, and even gain further recognition."
"You probably don’t know, but in response to the teor shower a few days ago, I have officially beco a temporary consultant for the Night Watchman investigation group."
"The person in charge of this event may also co over later to provide guidance. Didn’t you notice I wore formal attire today?"
A midst his teaching, Professor Fu even purposefully displayed his outfit, adjusting his collar with an air of smugness.
Formal temporary consultant... isn’t there sothing off with your wording?
It was undeniable that this instantly triggered Professor Lisa’s inner critique.
With such a commotion about the teor shower, how could soone like her who stays within the Academy not know anything about it?
It’s just that she focused almost all her energy on her current project and didn’t spend any effort to care about it.
So now even the Night Watchman has been alard?
And the temporary figure in front who always loves shifting responsibilities actually got involved as well, it seems the situation is indeed not simple.
Unperturbed by Professor Fu’s wording, a flurry of thoughts quickly crossed Lisa’s mind, sparking a considerable curiosity.
"What a pity, it seems your formal attire needs a change."
Yet the next mont when she spoke again, she couldn’t resist making a jab first.
...
"So what’s really going on with the Benevolence Institute? What trouble have those swindlers caused this ti?"
With a thick-skinned face, Professor Fu presented no expectations of affecting Lisa, who swiftly continued to question.
"Sorry, we have protocols, nothing can be disclosed without the authorization of the person in charge... So the people at Benevolence Institute often cause trouble too?"
Unfortunately, she underestimated the integrity of the person in question, Fu Qian imdiately shook his head.
"Certainly not more than Heaven’s Comncent Institute, especially as their numbers have dwindled over these years."
With a sigh, Professor Lisa displayed considerable self-awareness.
"But according to Cass, those guys were quite the troublemakers back in the day. Maybe not as frequent as Heaven’s Comncent, but every now and then there’d be a major issue."
You could tell that the Benevolence Institute had its period of glory, even talents like President Cass could speak highly of their knack for causing trouble.
Although Professor Lisa wasn’t aware, Heaven’s Comncent and Benevolence had already tead up tonight to stir up another ss.
"So what exactly is Cass up to? He’s been gone for so ti, right?"
With a sigh in her heart, she did not boast for Professor Luo Bu; Fu Qian casually inquired about the leadership.
From their interactions before, it was clear that Cass had a fondness for this Giant Serpent girl, even lending her the lab.
If anyone knew the whereabouts of this actual decision-maker, it would have to be the person in front of him.
"Out on a field study, just like you, Professor Fu."
Unfortunately, a cold laugh t Fu Qian, with Lisa apparently further provoked to voice her long-standing grievances against the two demigods at Heaven’s Comncent.
"Over the years, he’s been best at being unavailable when there’s trouble and only showing up once things calm down... Of course, he’s slightly inferior compared to Professor Fu since, your presence heralds trouble."
Oh? Her expression seems spot-on, upon reflection, that does seem to be the case.
"So any idea when he’ll be back?"
The criticized Professor Fu felt no displeasure and even seed to agree upon recalling his actions.
"Not sure... but when the need arises, I believe he will return."
She shook her head instantly, but then Lisa hesitated briefly, softly adding another sentence.
"Alright."
Without questioning, Fu Qian handed the box and the bone fragnts back over.
"You’ve worked hard during this ti, you can rest and maybe write a report. I’m sure President Cass would be quite interested."
"Of course, but since I’ve co all this way, why should I go back to rest?"
As she accepted them, enjoying the encouragent from the temporary figure in charge, Professor Lisa suddenly gave a sly smile, her glasses reflecting light.
"You just ntioned it’s a collaboration between two labs; isn’t it normal to leave a room here for to rest?"
...
"How exactly did you persuade those people to make the lab like this? Using the Academy’s resources too."
Ultimately, the sudden request from Professor Lisa wasn’t rejected.
Fu Qian, of course, didn’t believe running back was such a hassle for her.
The project reached a phase of progress, giving a more relaxed feeling, while the teor shower incident had clearly sparked considerable curiosity in Lisa. Despite her principles, she intended to stay and take a look.
After all, it’s good for the young to have curiosity, and there were plenty of free spaces around.
Fu Qian didn’t nitpick, quickly signaling the research assistant to make arrangents.
It’s just a sha that Professor Lisa’s sense of sha was increasingly thick; once her things were put down, she didn’t even pretend and quickly ca down to comnt on the lab’s newly upgraded hardware.
"So how did you persuade them again?"
To which Fu Qian didn’t even lift his head, casually reminding her that her lab wasn’t much better.
"I didn’t need to persuade them, just Cass—what’s this?"
The answer was unsurprising, Professor Lisa responded without any guilt and stepped forward out of curiosity, examining an item that appeared as abruptly as the previous box.
A crown, both classical in design and remarkably splendid.
"Nothing much."
Fu Qian rely glanced at her, continuing to gaze downward thoughtfully.
"An item related to that incident?"
With such a mysterious deanor, Professor Lisa realized sothing, her eyes lighting up.
"Co to think of it, this looks sowhat familiar."
And after seriously examining it for a while longer, it really seed she rembered sothing.
