Capítulo 1899: Chapter 1894: Shadowed Ornant
Neither gold nor stone, yet faintly exuding an eerie hint of flesh and blood.
Every move of Professor Fu undoubtedly drew the attention of everyone present.
The object appearing in his hand was instantly scrutinized by many, eyes almost bulging with intensity.
Those present were individuals of considerable knowledge, almost all imdiately recognizing its extraordinary nature.
Accompanied by silent shock, even the previously furious Ni Huayuan changed color at that mont.
It was no surprise; anyone witnessing such a scene would realize this guy had been overly prepared.
Although the specific function of this item was not yet apparent, combined with the previous situation, it seed as though they were being manipulated like puppets on strings.
Even this visit appeared to be a calculated move to bring people in voluntarily.
For a mont, Ni Huayuan looked at Wen Li with a blank expression.
Among those present, probably only she was still sowhat inexperienced, lacking sensitivity to such things.
Now, this seed to be fortunate, helping her slightly resist the temptation.
However, that guy ntioned earlier to have her use her ability to sense it, uncertain if it would have a specific allure, tempting this young person differently.
“At Heaven’s Comncent Institute, we never care about those superficial things. If you’re willing to co and learn, this item will be yours to command as you like.”
Even the temptation from Professor Fu at Heaven’s Comncent Institute continued, his voice gentle, his offer generous.
“I was hesitant at first, but just now I’ve beco quite certain that this item suits you perfectly; it’s like it was taken straight from your ear.”
…
It was indeed taken from Wen Li’s ear.
The accessory in Fu Qian’s hand, though molded from his flesh and blood at whim, was not an original design, but a complete knock-off of an extraordinary item that once prompted Wen Li to propose.
A gift from her father.
Even a small test from Night Watchman Corin.
Which ultimately helped in consulting with warehouse elder Liliyana.
Fu Qian believed that Miss Wen would undoubtedly recognize such an item.
And he also believed she would not mistakenly assu it’s the genuine one, the one he embezzled and lied to her about being consud.
Moreover, the earring itself had no special effects, rely constructed from second-phase flesh which lent it an eerie quality.
But Fu Qian believed that among the audience, only Su Gao could determine this.
Her ranking and superior perception skills combined, she likely wouldn’t be misled by his words and deeds.
And more reassuringly, she definitely wouldn’t undermine him.
“This…”
At this mont, Wen Li’s acting was once again put to the test.
Even though she couldn’t truly feel anything, her eyes seed glued to the earring, her whole being appearing as if her soul had been drawn, mumbling as if in a trance, no longer with the firmness from before, worrying anyone who observed.
Though the design was nice, the audience naturally wouldn’t believe that just a re piece of jewelry could so captivate such a young talent.
It was apparent she still, unconsciously, adhered to Professor Fu’s command, using her ability to perceive, successfully attracted by the eerie nature within.
One must admit, this capability of luring an unsuspecting young girl was indeed unfathomable…
“Don’t worry, even Chief Yuan Fang is here today; he too can serve as a witness.”
Seeing the young genius already swayed, Professor Fu’s smile deepened as he continued, even casually praising Yuan Fang beside him.
This made the latter, who had already suspected the true purpose of the invitation for tea, ignore the minor details and felt quite pleased.
“The choice is yours, of course, I can assure you, Professor Fu’s character is nothing to worry about.”
While he wouldn’t offend the Divine Ashes personnel without reason, he clearly wouldn’t hesitate to speak the truth, laughing as he casually endorsed Professor Fu’s character.
“There’s no need to rush your decision; you can take it to try first.”
Professor Fu even relaxed the conditions again, his hand already stretched toward Wen Li, gesturing for her to take it.
Clearly, this figure was full of confidence in his thods, believing the other party couldn’t possibly refuse once they touched it.
This…
The ever-closer temptation instead brought a fleeting clarity to Wen Li’s gaze.
She turned once more to look at Ni Huayuan, who accompanied her, seemingly hoping he could help her firm her resolve.
Unfortunately, the latter’s expression was grave, and even eting her gaze, he remained silent.
…
This was the Divine Ashes Institute as he knew it.
Fu Qian was not surprised in the least.
Arrogance, though not a vice, is certainly easily manipulated.
Unable to discern the reality of the earring, the Divine Ashes group’s operational style wouldn’t allow them to belittle or interfere with the guest student’s freedom of choice.
Faced with such temptation, the only reaction from Professor Ni would be to offer more enticing conditions.
But unfortunately, their conditions had already been presented long before, by now showing nothing new, allowing only his one-sided offering.
Hm, compared to my thods, you’re still quite green.
Looking toward Wen Li, although Fu Qian said nothing, and his expression was indifferent, one could inexplicably read such a thought from his face.
“I’m sorry… but I refuse…”
Unexpectedly, this ticulous planning was interrupted by a slightly hoarse voice.
Not receiving a response, Wen Li, who looked over, showed a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but then she shook her head, lacking any intent to reach out and take it.
“This item is indeed fascinating… but perhaps it’s not quite suited for , I’ve learned a lot with the Divine Ashes.”
From stumbling over words at first to gradually gaining confidence, one could feel her ntal journey clearly.
By the end, Wen Li was able to face Fu Qian’s scrutiny directly.
“Are you sure? I imagine you wouldn’t be satisfied with just this result, haven’t you thought of aiming for the high tier?”
His palm still there, Fu Qian’s eyes were slightly narrowed, seeming a bit amused by this response.
Implying, though not spoken directly, he was hinting that the Divine Ashes Institute, the one providing her extensive guidance, hadn’t produced a Demigod in a long ti—
“Thank you for today’s guidance, I hope there will be another opportunity to seek your instruction.”
Regrettably, it seed in that brief ti the young woman had truly made up her mind.
Even because of the underlying disdain in Professor Fu’s words, her expression turned colder as she spoke and stood up.
This ti she didn’t check Professor Ni Huayuan’s reaction, and after politely greeting everyone, she directly took her leave.
