Chapter 1550: Chapter 1545: Unknowing Puppet

”So you’re not considering your status at all, huh? Even a mighty Demigod can do something so despicable?”

The speaker was serious, and the listener was shocked.

At that moment, Professor Lanaya deeply felt the heavy burden on her shoulders as the head of the Punishment Department.

”What if I hadn’t come? Were you planning to blackmail the boss about this?”

”How could I?”

Fu Qian didn’t hesitate for even a second, as if he had already decided on his answer.

”Of course, I’d leave it here for the boss to help with, and use it for the next sponsorship—”

”If this guy ever withholds your salary, make sure to report it to me.”

Halfway hearing it, Lanaya directly advised Ji Liushuang.

”...Okay.”

Seeing the two squabble, Ji Liushuang covered her mouth and chuckled, truly agreeing to it.

”Even this is within your jurisdiction?”

Finally, Fu Qian showed a trace of shock.

”Why wouldn’t I have a say over academic misconduct?”

Lanaya sneered.

Having the power to interpret truly is impressive.

Seeing Lanaya invoke the Great Defining Technique, Fu Qian finally sighed deeply.

Of course, he wasn’t the one feeling the deepest emotions.

Not far away, Sunny, whose expression was dazed by the shock of the conversation, was nearly wiping the paint off the small bar counter in her absent-mindedness.

Concerning her own fate, she was undoubtedly listening very intently to the conversation.

And while confirming that these people were indeed elites of the Academy, the mention of being tortured made her hold her breath, hesitating about how to react.

The one referred to as Professor Fu, even openly admitted that he was speaking for her to hear, just to see her reaction.

This strange way of communication made Sunny even more hesitant for a moment.

However, before she could organize her chaotic thoughts, the atmosphere abruptly shifted, evolving into watering down the drinks.

The contrast was so stark, it brought a kind of aesthetic wrinkle-smoothing to the brain cortex.

”Get me another glass, please.”

It wasn’t until Lanaya amplified her voice that the confusion was slightly interrupted.

...

”Luckily, you didn’t add much, or you would’ve wasted the good wine.”

Taking the new glass from Sunny’s hand, Professor Lanaya was clearly in the groove, casual and unrestrained.

One could even sense that her dissatisfaction with Fu Qian didn’t carry much genuine resentment anymore.

Despite the nonsense, this guy’s suggestion seemed quite suitable for this troublesome scenario.

Even suggesting it was the process of implementing it, without expending any extra effort on her part.

Following what he said, all she had to do was sit back and observe the waiting staff’s subsequent reactions.

Another beautiful evening was saved, and for Lanaya, who always disliked trouble, theory of course made her slightly happier.

Especially after finding that the response was quite reserved.

With a downward gaze, Sunny’s stance while responding and delivering the glass was noticeably quieter than before.

Indeed, her heart seemed a bit confused.

Seeing this scene, Fu Qian was also touched.

Sunny’s reaction wasn’t too surprising.

From the pace at which she moved, it was clear that after being shown the path in the assignment, she was quite hesitant.

Regarding freeing herself from her state, referring to the oath from the Dragon King, she seemingly didn’t hold much confidence.

In truth, neither did he.

With numerous cases to reflect on, it’s almost confirmed that there’s no turning back once an oath is established.

Sugesting Sunny come to the Academy was, in essence, considering another aspect.

...

At the end of the Siren and Ji Family’s collaborative encirclement plan, Kelson, under self-imposed pressure, was forced to make a choice, deeming Ah Long as the true body, while Sunny was merely a puppet.

However, for an organization as large as the Siren, tracking an individual’s movements additionally is still quite effortless.

Especially since they could use her to gauge the ”Native Council’s” activities behind the scenes.

Therefore, even though Kelson firmly believed Sunny was now under his control and wouldn’t easily engage in any threatening actions, Sunny as the subject, couldn’t be sure she had this protective halo.

For her, the sense of nowhere-to-go in the world was quite easy to evoke.

My previous suggestion was essentially to swap potential experimental value for asylum here at the Academy, with a slight hope of being healed as a bonus.

Sunny’s hesitation stems from this, but since she ultimately ended up here, it shows she made a decision after some internal struggle.

However, people are just like this; no matter how clear the thought process, when the choice truly presents itself, one can’t help but hesitate.

Especially for someone like her, who longs for independence and freedom.

But it’s okay, with guidance from me, she’s perfectly allowed to hesitate longer in this delicate situation.

Like Riet, Fu Qian isn’t interested in personally handling it.

He’s known for keeping his word, and this special experimental material is considered one of the actions that create good research conditions for the Academy.

Of course, if Sunny gives up on the idea of being cured, accepting possible threats freely, and truly begins to enjoy simple life here, Fu Qian wouldn’t force her.

On one hand, it respects personal choice, and even in such a scenario, at critical moments, as his ”puppet,” she could still carry out meaningful misdirection.

For Superiors, it’s always about achieving multiple goals with one move; how can the mighty Evil God not go with the flow?

...

”Leaving already?”

Good times always seem to pass quickly; with Lanaya joining in, the trio had quite a fulfilling conversation, either chewing the fat or leading on the topic.

Until Fu Qian signaled Ji Liushuang to check the time, indicating it was getting late and they should head back to sleep, when she reluctantly asked.

Of course, Fu Qian knew this reluctance wasn’t so simple.

Professor Lanaya, although excited by nightlife and not very ambitious, would be greatly mistaken if anyone thought she was easy to fool.

The reason she was accommodating about things like the bill, was mainly because it was always a joke in nature.

But it was obvious that Lanaya still didn’t believe Sunny had nothing to do with him.

Unfortunately, the stature of a lifelong professor at Heaven’s Commencement Institute isn’t something ordinary people can comprehend.

”Yes, there’s business tomorrow, thanks for your hospitality.”

Standing up, he expressed his gratitude sincerely, then Fu Qian left gracefully, without sparing another glance at Sunny over there.

Alas...

At the moment of leaving, Fu Qian seemed to have heard a sigh of discontent.

Of course, the subsequent sigh when Miss Liushuang followed him out sounded filled with regret.

It was obvious that his character was enough to cause mentors who cared about students’ growth to worry about Miss Liushuang being led astray.

”Professor Fu, thank you for your hard work during this period.”

But what Professor Lanaya didn’t know was that even the reason for leaving was, in fact, completely true.

The next morning, almost right after finishing the breakfast Ji Liushuang left, Fu Qian welcomed a visitor.

President Li Weixuan, as elegant as ever, greeted him with a smile.
