Staring directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

That's right, the Spirit Ash Institute.

Although it's officially winter, the climate around the academy isn't extreme. Under the warm afternoon sun, not only are the numerous talented young individuals full of energy, but even the plants and trees seem to burst with life.

After a leisurely stroll, Professor Fu, with an air of deep accomplishment, stood with his hands behind his back, surveying the building before him, arguably the most aloof in the entire academy.

Indeed, this was his destination, not a chance passing.

His previous visit wasn't too pleasant, but that didn't stop Fu Qian from remembering the route.

As for why he came here, it was naturally because the exchange on his side last time wasn't too pleasant either.

Knowing full well that even as he stood here, more than one scrutinizing gaze had fallen upon him, Fu Qian remained blissfully unaware of being disliked, and strode forward generously.

"Professor Fu, what brings you here?"

Regardless of whether the gazes were benevolent, as the temporary spokesperson of the Providence and someone who had repeatedly distinguished himself in recent hot topics within the academy, even an unannounced visit carried the weight of promoting inter-departmental cooperation.

Thus, just as Fu Qian pierced through the gray barrier outside the building, revisiting the Spirit Ash Institute's signature vintage ambiance, Professor Weilon was already standing there waiting.

"What happened to you, Your Excellency? Did the investigation on the Curse Arts Institute's side not go smoothly?"

Although his gaze was somewhat meaningful, the latter still maintained his composure, proactively offering greetings and even inviting him to sit down for a while.

"How could that be? It's precisely because it went very smoothly that I have time to come out for a walk."

To this, Fu Qian was also amiable, laughing heartily to indicate that there was no need to worry, and followed behind him.

…

Having time to come out for a walk, and then not having time to change clothes first?

Unfortunately, the minds of those who worry are often fickle. Although it was a warm and enthusiastic exchange, at that moment, Old Man Weilon showed no joy, and his face even darkened a bit.

Unless he deliberately wore this to come visiting, so that when asked, he could naturally give the answer of "very smoothly," indicating that he had once again made a significant contribution… Is this guy really that bored?

Although Old Man Weilon was good at maintaining his composure, Fu Qian still read a lot of information from his reaction, as mentioned above.

"I wonder if the progress on Spirit Ash's side is going smoothly?"

However, not dwelling on this malicious speculation, Fu Qian spoke again as he sat down, showing concern for the development of a brother department.

"…What aspect is Professor Fu referring to?"

Old Man Weilon, who hadn't planned to ask anyone to serve tea, merely asked back with a forced smile.

"Regarding that young man you brought to my place before, I've seen that he's indeed a good seed. I've been looking forward to the follow-up these past two days."

"Of course, he's also a young man with personality… Few people can refuse my gifts."

Fu Qian, however, didn't beat around the bush at all, directly stating his intention, and continued to chuckle, not seeming offended by the memory.

You have the nerve to mention it…

Unfortunately, compared to magnanimity, what Lord Weilon experienced was clearly other emotions.

Without even thinking, the details of Professor Ni Huayuan's visit with the genius girl must have been reported in full.

Among them, Fu's extremely arrogant act of poaching in person, and Wen Li's attitude of rejecting temptation, must also be the focus.

Adding a little reflection, one can know that even that visit was the result of being guided step by step.

How could Spirit Ash, who has always been proud and arrogant, possibly endure such humiliation?

As a result, the entire academy at this moment must be exerting all its strength, preparing to slap him in the face.

"I regret to say, Professor Fu also mentioned just now, that only two days have passed."

However, at the next moment, Lord Weilon, who can be considered the ugliest character in this, showed the cultivation of someone who could endure any insult.

"The transcendent world, especially the mental level, has too many unpredictable dangers. Spirit Ash will not easily risk the future of young people."

Squinting at the other party, Professor Fu's smile, which he had maintained since entering the door, narrowed slightly at that moment.

Even the century-old vintage of the Spirit Ash Institute surrounding him seemed to be stirred.

…

Decree.

Of course, it's not just the legendary pressure and killing intent. To have such a significant effect, it was truly achieved by activating a skill.

The reset version, with the "essential symbol of the false legal authority" as the basic support for the Return Edict.

Although there is no visual effect, the pure and pristine power is strong.

At that moment, as if transformed into the sun, Fu Qian could feel the long-standing ills of the Spirit Ash Institute melting away irresistibly.

"Professor Fu… what does this mean?"

Unfortunately, for those who are already accustomed to that aura, it is clearly a withdrawal reaction.

Although he couldn't be completely certain, the perception of a divine being still allowed Professor Weilon to lock onto Fu Qian in the first place, with a mixture of shock and anger.

Such an act can undoubtedly be categorized as a provocation, and Providence has been too arrogant recently.

Of course, even so, Professor Weilon still maintained his scholarly demeanor, and did not escalate the situation in his questioning.

"Providence will not risk the future of young people either."

"So… please convey to that young person that my offer is still valid, and she is welcome to come and sit down at any time."

Looking at each other, Fu Qian finally spoke at this moment, his tone confrontational.

"I won't disturb you today. The Spirit Ash Institute's magnanimity is admirable."

However, he then put on a smile, easing the tense atmosphere a little, and even stood up to bid farewell directly.

"…I will convey it to her."

Switching back and forth, Professor Weilon was obviously a little uncertain, but the unique pride of a mental-type player still made him accept Fu Qian's commission.

Fu Qian also believed that he would indeed do it—although he didn't quite believe what he said earlier.

Leaving the Spirit Ash Institute while being seen off, Fu Qian then closed the Return Edict and glanced back one last time.

With the twisted style of this group of people, facing his repeated stimulation, if there really was no progress, they would probably disdain to emphasize the reason of "too short a time."

Humility is often the virtue of those with psychological advantages. Old Man Weilon's ability to have this level of cultivation today always gives people a sense of accumulating strength before slapping them in the face.

In just two days, the situation on Miss Wen's side is probably truly making astonishing progress.

Sighing, Fu Qian raised his head to look at the clear sky, just like the action in the Blissful Realm.
