Qu Jianlei certainly wasn’t so gossipy as to want to probe into Zi Jiu Immortal’s private affairs.
The key was that as he stood on the observatory, he could feel a thick sense of hostility not far away.
As for Celt’s eventual appearance, it was sothing he had long anticipated, not surprising him in the least.
Now he wanted to understand the relationship between Zi Jiu Immortal and the other party because he sensed that this matter might not just blow over.
For those harboring malice, Qu Jianlei never showed rcy.
But since he decided to integrate into mainstream society as much as possible, controlling his temper was still very necessary.
"A suitor?" Zi Jiu Immortal was startled, her eyes wide open, then shook her head, "It’s not that simple."
"Oh," Qu Jianlei nodded, still looking at her, a bit surprised in his heart.
Since it’s "not that simple," does that an this beautiful professor... is still unmarried?
Your curiosity is quite strong, isn’t it? Zi Jiu Immortal felt a bit embarrassed.
But after sorting out her emotions, she answered calmly, "It should involve a project application."
"Project application?" Qu Jianlei nodded thoughtfully.
In his previous life on Blue Star when he was working with supercomputers, he had contacted several universities and heard of so murky dealings.
But he hadn’t realized that the Imperial was plagued by the sa problems, couldn’t help but sigh, "Even the Ivory Tower here is not exempt."
Zi Jiu Immortal didn’t catch his mutter, "What tower?"
"Nothing," Qu Jianlei shook his head, then casually asked, "Is he hoping to gain both personal and financial gains?"
Your curiosity... Zi Jiu Immortal was a bit helpless, but still stated, "He’s dreaming too beautifully; it’s impossible!"
Qu Jianlei furrowed his brow, "Why don’t you get to the point?"
"The point?" Zi Jiu Immortal looked at him with a bit of confusion, "I’m answering your question!"
Could it be your focus is on my marital status? Considering this possibility, her heartbeat unexpectedly quickened a little.
That’s what it is... Qu Jianlei was a bit helpless too, "If he keeps pestering , how far can I retaliate?"
"You’re asking about that?" Zi Jiu Immortal was also a bit surprised, but upon reflection, she was relieved.
She didn’t know what the other party had been through, but for a non-academic superpower warrior, fights and confrontations were commonplace.
However, she was still a bit hesitant, "You wouldn’t... want to kill him, would you?"
"If there are no serious consequences," Qu Jianlei lowered his head again to look at the directory, "I’ve killed plenty of such small characters."
Zi Jiu Immortal was startled when she heard this, what shocked her the most was his casual attitude when ntioning killing.
How many people must one have killed to be so indifferent to life?
She hurriedly stated, "Then don’t... when he gives you trouble, you can contact , I’ll handle it!"
Qu Jianlei raised his head again and casually asked, "Because we’re colleagues?"
"Yes," Zi Jiu Immortal nodded, "After all, it’s the sa school... for such a trivial matter, there’s no need for killing, right?"
The Imperial actually has a saint? Qu Jianlei was a bit helpless, "It’s precisely because of your attitude that he’s so reckless."
Zi Jiu Immortal thought about it and still shook her head, "Sorry, I know he’s quite annoying."
"But if there’s an overreaction to this, it’ll be hard for to get along in school later."
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly, he didn’t believe Granny Jia was this indecisive.
Truly, who educated her this way?
"Involving project disputes, this concerns benefits, right? Killing for benefits... isn’t that quite common?"
Zi Jiu Immortal shook her head at this, "Even if soone is killed, it should be doing it, our academy... very protective!"
Qu Jianlei glanced at her and thoughtfully asked, "How many Supre does Green Water Academy have?"
"Only an old dean," Zi Jiu Immortal shook her head, "but among the graduates, there’s more than one Supre!"
Qu Jianlei frowned, helplessly shaking his head.
"This is the annoying part of the academic faction... you’d better warn him properly, so he doesn’t have false hopes!"
Zi Jiu Immortal solemnly nodded, "Okay, by the way, are you A-level?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at her, then shook his head, "Don’t ntion my cultivation level to outsiders, don’t even bring it up."
Zi Jiu Immortal was stunned for a mont upon hearing this; she really wanted to use the panda’s cultivation level to warn Celt, "Why?"
"Why ask so many whys?" Qu Jianlei smiled helplessly and shook his head, "How did Granny Jia educate you?"
Eh? Zi Jiu Immortal was taken aback by this, did he treat her great-grandmother with such disrespect?
She rolled her eyes and started heading towards the door, "I’ll go warn that guy..."
Shortly after, she turned back, "Just you watch, I have a class, I’ll co back to find you later."
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, continuing to imrse himself in the books.
After about twenty minutes or so, a person walked in from outside, sizing up Qu Jianlei.
Qu Jianlei didn’t even lift his head, perceiving slightly, he knew it was an A-level Earth Attribute person.
The A-level man looked at him a few tis before he couldn’t help but speak, "You’re not a student at the school, are you?"
Qu Jianlei looked up at him briefly, then lowered his head, "Professor Zi Jiu Immortal brought in."
Don’t give that crap, go find the lady professor if you need sothing!
The man snorted coldly, "Co out with for a bit, don’t force to get rough!"
Qu Jianlei walked to the bookshelf, not even raising his head to reply, "If you have sothing, go find Zi Jiu Immortal, don’t bother ."
"Such arrogance!" The man’s figure flashed and he was beside him, reaching for his shoulder.
After all, this is the library; he couldn’t make too much of a scene, otherwise he wouldn’t be this polite.
Qu Jianlei’s body flickered, dodging behind the shelf like a phantom.
He impatiently stated, "Just this once, dare to make a move again... and you’ll bear the consequences!"
The man’s confident grab missed, as he was slightly stunned, "A Modified Warrior... even has such good Body Technique?"
Qu Jianlei couldn’t be bothered to respond and continued flipping through the book.
The man stood there dumbfounded for ten seconds before sulkingly snorting, "You better stay in the library forever and never co out!"
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room.
Qu Jianlei snorted lightly, couldn’t help but roll his eyes, feeling that he had really drawn unwanted attention.
Near noon, Zi Jiu Immortal returned.
Qu Jianlei recounted what happened with that A-level man, even describing the man’s appearance.
It’s not really snitching, mainly to make the lady professor aware of the situation, in case sothing happens, don’t bla for not warning you.
"An Chongfeng," Zi Jiu Immortal’s face sank, "No wonder I saw him outside, leave it to to handle, shall we go for lunch?"
Qu Jianlei certainly didn’t mind the routine of normal people, but he also expressed.
"If soone provokes at the library entrance, don’t bla then!"
Zi Jiu Immortal nonchalantly replied, "That guy is pretty close with Celt, but with around... no big deal!"
Qu Jianlei paused, couldn’t help adding, "With you here, those two are really lucky."
The two walked out of the library, right into An Chongfeng.
An Chongfeng coldly glanced at Qu Jianlei, then looked at Zi Jiu Immortal, "Just a librarian, yet you want to protect him?"
Zi Jiu Immortal was clearly taken aback, evidently not expecting such direct words.
Then she replied solemnly, "Lord An Chongfeng, this is my own business, no need for you to intervene."
"Tsk," An Chongfeng sneered contemptuously, then looked at Qu Jianlei, "Kid, you better always stay by her side."
Qu Jianlei wasn’t even interested in looking at him and instead asked Zi Jiu Immortal, "Is lunch here paid with Silver Notes?"
"Hah, country bumpkin," An Chongfeng sneered disdainfully, "Which academy doesn’t use al cards?"
Then he finally reacted, looked at Zi Jiu Immortal in astonishnt, "You’re actually having lunch with him?"
Even with the lady professor’s composure, she was slightly offended by the remark, "I’m quite curious... you’re so interested in my affairs?"
An Chongfeng turned away, still not forgetting to snort, "Hm, I’m just afraid you’ll be duped!"
Seeing him walk away, Zi Jiu Immortal murmured softly, "Why is this guy... so rash today?"
In her understanding, despite An Chongfeng’s superior combat power and lack of communication with colleagues, he wasn’t one to ddle unnecessarily.
Qu Jianlei shook his head, feeling rather wronged.
Zi Jiu Immortal invited him for lunch at the faculty cafeteria, and seeing her bring a young man inside, many teachers gave curious looks.
The lady professor paid no mind to those looks, carried two trays over, "What would you like to eat?"
Qu Jianlei glanced at the nu and noticed Exotic Beast at, surprised by its price... he didn’t fully grasp the market rate, but it certainly wasn’t expensive.
Of course, he didn’t care about such a small gain, so he directly replied, "Just sothing to fill my stomach."
Zi Jiu Immortal casually scooped two portions of dishes, half at and half vegetables, yet Qu Jianlei’s portion was twice hers.
The two found a table and sat down, the lady professor apologetically spoke in a low voice, "You can’t eat the Exotic Beast at."
Qu Jianlei understood imdiately; she didn’t mind treating, but he requested that his cultivation level not be revealed.
Modified Warriors can consu so Exotic Beast at, but not too much; ordinary people risk exploding if they eat it.
He smiled indifferently, thinking this woman really considers things thoroughly.
"That Exotic Beast at seems quite cheap... is it good quality?"
"Certainly cheap," a woman’s voice chid in, belonging to a thirty-sothing middle-aged lady, "There’s an Imperial subsidy."
Then she casually sat next to Zi Jiu Immortal, scrutinizing Qu Jianlei.
"Jiu Immortal, is this your friend... won’t you introduce him to your sis?"
"My great-grandmother’s colleague Panda," Zi Jiu Immortal was a bit helpless and gestured at the middle-aged woman.
"This is my colleague Mary, she handles administrative work for the academy."
"Hello," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, not intending to say much.
"Because of the subsidy, outsiders usually aren’t allowed to eat here," Mary seed thoughtful while looking at him.
"You really can’t eat Exotic Beast at? That’s quite unfortunate."
