Chapter 2461: Chapter 2456: Reaching New Heights

”Just a small favor.”

The president, being an old hand in worldly matters, knows well to express appreciation upon meeting someone.

Faced with the words clearly directed at him, Fu Qian casually replied politely and gestured forward the next moment.

”Care to try Lisa’s handiwork?”

He didn’t unfairly claim credit for the guest’s contribution, inviting Cass to take a seat while emphasizing that the tea was brewed by Professor Lisa.

”That really is a rare treat, I’ll have to savor it well.”

With a hearty laugh, Cass seemed in a mood much better than the weather, and indeed stepped in to take a seat.

Ah—

It was only at this moment that Lisa snapped out of it, blurting out the rest of her exclamation.

Could it be that simply waiting here as someone said was indeed the right choice?

As the last contestant to visit Cass, she was evidently surprised by his noticeably healthy appearance, staring at his unusually structured face, unsure how to greet him.

The key was that Cass merely looked back in silence, seemingly expecting something.

Ahem...

The slightly awkward standoff lasted about two seconds, finally broken by Fu Qian’s soft cough, who then nudged the cup forward, offering a hint.

... Pouring tea, right?

As an intellectual, Lisa finally realized what was going on in that moment, understanding the meaning behind Cass’s gaze.

An invitation to tea, one gladly accepted.

Yet after sitting down, neither of the two seemed ready to move, both waiting for her service.

Sigh—

The previously stirred emotions were somewhat calmed, Professor Lisa exhaled a gentle breath to suppress her rebellious spirit inside.

”Why so long? Professor Fu and I have been waiting here for quite a while.”

But when it came time to pour the tea, she couldn’t resist criticizing Cass’s inefficiency.

...

”It was a bit long.”

Responding to Lisa’s remarks, Cass picked up his cup while glancing out the window.

”More troublesome than expected, but it’s much better now.”

Seemingly able to fully imagine Professor Lisa’s anxious wait, after surveying the sky, Cass’s tone even carried a hint of apology.

”That’s good...”

With the president’s attitude being so sincere, Lisa found it hard to make a fuss.

Muttering a little under her breath, she subconsciously glanced over at Fu Qian.

Look at how startled the young one is.

Fu Qian naturally understood the meaning behind that glance.

The previous discussions about Cass’s condition, along with half a day’s wild speculations, left Professor Lisa slightly paranoid.

To the point that even with the person standing right in front, candidly stating he was already recovered and in good health, she was questioning whether this was indeed Cass’s true intention.

Whether he was already gravely ill, attempting to deceive the two of them.

Indeed, there has been some growth.

Fu Qian had no intention of ridiculing such a reaction.

Despite being sensitive about certain topics, overall, Professor Lisa has a commendable mindset.

Being teased back and forth by Cass and himself, someone else with a strong sense of pride might have given up thinking altogether by now.

Yet each critical moment, she still bravely engaged her intellect; this courage alone was remarkable.

Regarding Lisa’s concerns, Fu Qian reckoned it should be fine.

At least from this perspective, the president’s words were quite honest—it’s more than just getting better, the Blood Bar under Radar Vision had even grown a bit.

While it might not yet reach the level of advancing to a Divine Envoy, a Third Phase peak rating wasn’t an issue, comparable to the feeling Old Master Logan once had.

President Cass seemed to have taken an unexpected turn for the better.

Of course, there’s a chance that this was the Engraving Wisdom state, merely presenting a rosy possibility.

After all, it has happened once before.

”The president’s state is indeed quite ideal.”

Even with that risk, it didn’t stop Fu Qian from enjoying the present good situation.

Facing Professor Lisa’s subtly inquiring gaze, he readily provided an answer, indicating there was no need to worry.

”It even looks better than before.”

...

Huh?

Professor Fu’s assertiveness carried an unexpected element, and Lisa, familiar with his style, knew he wouldn’t casually judge, especially not on such a sensitive matter.

That surprise mixed with delight was evident on her face, as she gaped at Cass, feeling as thrilled as if she had ascended to Demigod status herself.

”The progress isn’t vast, but at least some hidden dangers have been eliminated.”

Cass too nodded humbly, gesturing at himself, with an elder’s modesty.

”... Next time should something like this occur, please say so in advance.”

Unfortunately, such kindness didn’t receive a reciprocal response; relieved after double confirmation, Lisa quickly regained her vitality within seconds.

The first thing she did was to criticize this reckless behavior, stating she was quite scared.

”So about my previous condition—”

Even before Cass could offer a defense, she had already recalled something.

”Indeed, it was also because of my influence...”

His expression somewhat awkward, but Cass owned up to the issue nonetheless.

Hmm...

Lisa remained silent, but the look she cast at Fu Qian spoke volumes—You owe me a lot.

This killing gaze was sustained for a long time... she remained seated, unmoving.

...

Did she turn the victim to stone to avoid paying back?

But as the head of Heaven’s Commencement Institute, truly decisive and unsparing.

Professor Lisa’s situation was quite understandable, and Fu Qian noted it had already happened once in this very laboratory—Cass had used his hierarchical oppression and made her fall asleep.

As for the purpose, last time it was to secretly tell him the issue was actually with Professor Lisa; this time—

”The danger level didn’t exceed my expectations, but it unexpectedly radiated outward, affecting Lisa, which I hadn’t foreseen.”

Slightly composing his smile, Cass had already turned his head, not only admitting to his problem but also noting his anticipation for it.

”My ritual back then was completed quite well, yet it left some hidden dangers, not affecting any actions, but making the road ahead perilous.”

Letting out a soft sigh, Cass directly reflected on the past, recounting the cause of this incident.

”Over these years, one of my aims of traveling was seeking solutions and resources, this time with fair gains, so I thought to give it a try.

”But during the trial, the situation began to turn abnormal, until you sent Lisa to find me, only then I realized there was some subtle impact.”

Professor Lisa was on pause, after Cass’s recollection, he had to personally pour himself another cup of tea, looking toward the quietly listening Fu Qian.

”Professor Fu, what do you think the possible reason is?”
