Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2307: Chapter 2302: Self-Correction Ability

”Professor Lisa is actually very nice, I’m quite happy to help.”

Faced with Fu Qian’s attempts to sow discord, Wen Li appeared not at all surprised, and simply smiled, stating it as a personal subjective act.

”I’ve seen a lot of interesting things. Once the archive room is truly completed, I definitely want to find an opportunity to come and have a look... So I fully support Professor Fu’s suggestion of opening the whole academy.”

She even gave high praise for the imaginative ideas of the Heaven’s Commencement Institute instructors that followed.

”Girl, you really don’t mind the mess.”

Such a positive and optimistic mindset made Fu Qian shake his head for a moment.

However, considering Wen Li’s capabilities, it’s likely that she has had an abundance of insight over the years, so speaking like this is no problem.

”Someone from Divine Ashes Institute is coming over these days?”

Without dwelling too much on this matter, Fu Qian naturally continued to ask.

Despite the joke he made earlier being harmless, given Wen Li’s status and strength, she could easily throw the ball into Professor Lisa’s court.

But she came out so quickly and waited alone on the returning path, clearly having something to discuss with him.

Even Miss Liushuang, who had been acting as a receptionist these past days, knowingly did not follow.

Fu Qian’s first reaction was that Divine Ashes Institute had some new initiatives.

On one hand, it seemed not serious, so the two still had leisure moments visiting Professor Lisa’s place.

But there was something odd enough to warrant him knowing as soon as possible.

”Yes, Professor Veron came to see me yesterday... He confirmed my current status and the upcoming schedule with me.”

Wen Li nodded, entirely unsurprised that Fu Qian guessed this.

”Besides, there wasn’t any specific content, just mentioned that the Divine Ashes there have already controlled the situation, now doing the final cleanup work, and hope I can stay here longer.”

Indeed, what she mentioned sounded peaceful and harmonious at first glance.

Old Master Veron coming personally? That’s interesting.

”Sounds good, perhaps we can visit together a bit later.”

Fu Qian wasted no time in making a suggestion.

”Remember you mentioned someone could help arrange meals?”

...

True to her words.

Wen Li had been here for some time, but chances for Fu Qian to personally receive her were still few.

Leading her around the academy for a tour, and casually chatting about recent reflections, soon enough lunch was arranged.

A commendable effort by the designated attendant, even if the selection wasn’t vast, the dishes were clearly well-chosen with tasteful flavor.

”I had them prepare according to your taste, but the time here has been short, and the staff few.”

Nevertheless, Wen Li still emphasized this thoughtfully.

It seemed her journey of study favored simplicity and minimalism.

”It’s already great; Chief Yuan earlier was still concerned about your condition here. She’s even envious of your gains and wants to come for further education.”

Fu Qian expressed satisfaction, even mentioning a familiar from Shangjing.

”Chief Yuan is considerate... It’s unfortunate that it might take some time before meeting her.”

Fu Qian’s initiative to bring up those matters made Wen Li increasingly relaxed.

With a smile and a shake of her head, it seemed she could envision Yuan Shan’s demeanor saying this.

”So do you think it’s because of something at Divine Ashes that Professor Veron specifically came over?”

But her focus soon shifted to Fu Qian’s earlier decisions.

Waiting there was indeed meant to convey this message for determination.

Professor Fu’s reaction clearly brought her some concern.

”It’s hard to say; though him coming personally is a bit formal, theoretically, it could be explained for various reasons, like better confirming your condition, or because last time we visited with quite a grand lineup.”

Fu Qian signaled her to relax.

”The good thing is, next visit to Heaven’s Commencement won’t be as pressured, and it will just be the two of us.”

”Alright...”

...

No flattering words were intended, the Divine Ashes Institute often errs in free judgment, something to be wary of.

As one of the academy’s demigods, Veron’s personal visit seemed significant to Fu Qian, but to deduce Divine Ashes’s state from this might be overly presumptuous.

The only thing confirmed in this situation is that the time for a visit is now.

Confirming Wen Li’s situation is, of course, a necessary move for Divine Ashes.

But given the unpredictable schedule and being at the lab, running into oneself is undoubtedly a factor to consider before setting out.

Yet Old Master Veron still came; the desire to communicate was evident to all.

Unfortunately, coincidentally, he returned from his examinations late.

Upon hearing the account the next day, it seemed polite to repay the visit?

As for Divine Ashes, whether to showcase robust self-correction and restore some face, or trouble exceeding capabilities and seeking help, remains to be seen.

”Mr. Veron still looks in great shape; at least I can’t discern any emotional problems right now... He even specifically reminded me to pay attention to stabilizing my condition.”

Wen Li was quite positive about visiting Divine Ashes together, agreeing almost instantly.

Though as a prominent figure at Divine Ashes Institute and accompanying a notable Heaven’s Commencement academic leader, it felt a bit odd.

After lunch, Professor Fu even allocated rest time for her to mentally prepare for possible encounters.

Eventually, at a steady pace, Divine Ashes Institute was right within reach.

Wen Li even changed into slightly more formal attire, and proactively shared her personal feelings.

”Not surprised, trust professionals’ introspection capabilities.”

Fu Qian indicated it was normal, simply squinting at the still grand building.

For those who’ve spent years operating on thoughts, the sensitivity of certain matters remains undeniably high.

Did you notice last visit when I merely hinted, they directly brought out the victim, Si Lei?

There’s even the special title Impermanence.

And anyone with a bit of civic sense, realizing the stubbornness in their thoughts hasn’t been resolved, Professor Veron wouldn’t be running amok on the streets.

Of course, it might be the case of assuming there’s no illness and taking a step, just like now—

”Professor Fu.”

It felt like a blast from the past; just as she stepped through the gateway, Old Master Veron was already waiting there.
