Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2372: Chapter 2367: Dual Cultivation

Huh?

The question was rather peculiar, and even with Wen Li’s ability to read people and situations, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

"I didn’t say anything; I just saw you looking over at the stairs..."

But it was only for that moment; very soon, Wen Li regained her composure, and even uncertain about the situation, she still answered earnestly.

Indeed.

The content of Wen Li’s response instantly turned the atmosphere chilling.

Didn’t say anything...

At that moment, Fu Qian felt a sense of realization, gaining a deeper understanding of this insight.

That’s right, Miss Liushuang wasn’t actually there just now.

Just a little attention, starting from Wen Li’s comment that the magic was wonderful, should reveal the obvious anomaly—she didn’t witness the interaction between herself and Miss Liushuang.

In Wen Li’s account, the entire interaction consumed almost no time, and the words I spoke weren’t actually said aloud.

This situation, with a bit of imagination, appears quite astonishing, almost akin to the act of using the warehouse as Zawarudo.

At a certain point in time, erroneous information quietly seeped into my will, more naturally than nature itself.

No time consumed in between, causing those around to detect nothing unusual.

Is this the so-called Engraving Wisdom?

When gazing at the world, the reflection no longer reliable, seeing is no longer believing... this description becomes quite vivid.

Most importantly, never forget, the target is a bona fide Superior Being, even the mechanical reset version.

In Fu Qian’s view, even if the Prism of Radiant Transformation were present, it might not achieve this capability.

The experience felt neither a dream nor an illusion, highly realistic.

For example, the Miss Liushuang in my eyes just now, everything about her ranking aura appeared normal, even the reaction speed of the Optical Radar had no aberrations.

Same went for Wen Li beside me.

Although the real her claimed everything happened in a blink, during the entire interaction, Wen Li’s silent demeanor was quite natural.

As for why rely on Wen Li’s account rather than suspecting her perception was influenced?

Simply put, because Fu Qian was already inclined towards the same opinion, supported by at least two reasons.

Firstly, even if my Extraordinary Perception was lacking, Miss Liushuang couldn’t abruptly appear beside me.

Actually, right at the onset of communication with the Research Assistant, Fu Qian pondered the true nature of this anomaly.

Disturbed by the conversation below, I came to exchange a few words, the reason given might be reasonable, but it didn’t justify skipping the descent process.

The second point is even simpler; within the lab equipment upgrade plan, Professor Chang Mo at least provided a clock.

After Miss Liushuang moved it once, it was placed opposite the candlestick.

Realizing the eerie arrival of "Miss Liushuang", Fu Qian conveniently checked the time.

In practice, while the clock functioned normally throughout, by the time Miss Liushuang departed and Wen Li spoke, time had returned to the starting point.

Academics must rely on logic and know how to use tools.

...

The world seems ever more amiss.

Recognizing something, Wen Li opted for silence after answering, waiting for Professor Fu’s inquiry.

As Fu Qian silently contemplated, he also evaluated the complexity of the issue thoroughly.

At first glance, the situation appeared simple, as if I were momentarily experiencing a mental blip, imagining a whole scenario.

Once the phase passed, reality remained unaffected.

Distinguishing this wasn’t difficult; without a reliable reference point beside, a watch sufficed.

During crucial interactions, remember to check time before and after.

These immediate coping strategies didn’t affect the astonishing underlying nature.

Consider previous chaos from consuming mushrooms; I remained aware of my circumstances.

This time, however, the process felt so natural that even as the Abandonment King, I failed to spot any obvious flaws.

It doesn’t seem like simple deception but rather a moment where the world truly operated unstably.

Overall, it seems society is increasingly chaotic, and the insight gained from this is quite significant.

"It’s unnecessary to bother her with such trivial matters."

The situation seemed more bothersome, yet Fu Qian nodded in agreement with Wen Li’s earlier statement.

Problems with solutions aren’t troublesome; this outcome verifies the correctness of my actions.

Kaldora is indeed an esteemed forerunner in academics, contributing extensively to scholarly endeavors.

But the recently divine-infused flesh seemed to hold world secrets.

Next, the performance across the Sea of Ashes can be anticipated.

There was no displeasure; Fu Qian didn’t disclose what he consumed to Wen Li, simply watching over the youngsters with a smile.

"Actually, it’s the same for you; it’s a crucial growth phase."

...

"Understood, I’ll go rest now."

Evidently sensing some reservation from the other party, Wen Li had no objections and cheerfully bade goodnight.

During her time at the Academy, it became apparent that most were unaware of Professor Fu’s true ranking, invoking trust while realizing the dangers exceeded imagination.

A demigod might feel unreachable to many, but having witnessed much, she always knew her proper place.

In summary, Mr. Fu wished her to know only what she needed, no need for excessive probing.

The upbeat mood stemmed from the majestic appraisal of "trivial matters."

Professor Fu seemed confident about the situation, no need to worry.

"Very well."

Miss Wen departed decisively, making Fu Qian feel relieved.

In current circumstances, her ability termed "Sufferer" might be linked to certain secrets; Night Watchman’s response upon receiving this news will be noteworthy.

Relaxing a little now isn’t unwise; tranquil days might be few in the upcoming period.

Of course, even now there’s no rest.

Knock, knock!

With Wen Li softly ascending the stairs, someone else was knocking at the door.

"Professor Fu."

Following Fu Qian’s casual welcome, Luo Bu, who had been busy seeking people all day, rushed in.

"We’ve organized several Benevolence Institute mentors to analyze the situation, would you like to join us?"
