Chapter 1564: Chapter 1559: The Academy’s Sweeping Monk

"Out for a walk after dinner too? Not many young people have such healthy habits these days."

With the gentle breeze and clear skies, the scenery was beautiful, yet it seemed that neither mentors nor students were willing to waste such a lovely time, as there were few people on the road.

Upon hearing a call, Fu Qian stopped and looked over, then greeted Veil not far away.

Dressed casually, without makeup, with her blonde hair casually tied up, she blended well with the surroundings.

Having just turned a corner on the white stone steps, her eyelashes clearly spelled aimlessness.

This was likely her reason for hesitantly deciding to muster up the courage to disturb Heaven’s Commencement’s Temporary Leader during his walk.

Of course, Fu Qian’s full elder demeanor clearly left her a bit "overwhelmed," unsure how to respond.

"I’m here to check on Riet’s situation."

No matter what, leaving abruptly was not an option. Veil quickly braved the situation, stepping forward to softly explain.

"Oh? How is she doing now?"

Not surprised at all, Fu Qian turned and continued walking ahead, casually checking on the progress of the treatment.

"I didn’t see her..."

Faced with this concern, Veil’s expression showed a trace of embarrassment.

"Professor Lisa said it was a critical period and she can’t be disturbed, suggesting I take a walk."

...

"That is so like her!"

Faced with this unexpected development, Professor Fu blinked in surprise, then shook his head and laughed heartily.

"Xiao Sha is just that kind of person, once she starts working, she won’t even pay attention to me or Cass."

Though he said this, it was clear he didn’t mind it at all.

"But that’s fine, young people should have some edge. We old men who are nearing the grave always seem annoying as soon as we open our mouths."

Xiao Sha...

Not sure if Professor Lisa would appreciate being called that, but based on recent behavior, it seemed she had a strong opinion on the matter...

With a feeling of being out of place, Veil recalled Professor Lisa’s casual complaints and found herself speechless once again.

"So where did you go, how did it feel, and did you gain anything?"

Fortunately, Professor Fu didn’t force her to agree and nonchalantly continued the conversation.

"Very good... I’ve admired the Academy for a long time, and seeing it this time, my biggest impression is regretting not coming here sooner."

Amidst the overwhelmingly sincere atmosphere of caring for the younger generation, even Ms. Veil, who had ventured out long ago, felt somewhat flustered.

"That’s good, although strictly speaking, it’s not what it used to be."

As if falling into a distant memory, Professor Fu sighed deeply.

"But as long as the heart to pursue the unknown remains, the Academy hasn’t lost its fundamental meaning..."

"During my time as the temporary leader, the thing that pleases me most is seeing promising talent emerge. Speaking of which, you handle the sword well. Have you visited the Swordsmanship Department?"

"You’re flattering me, I haven’t been there yet..."

Unexpectedly, the topic shifted to experiences related to the Archipelago, and Veil reflected on the intense competition at that time, finding it rather peculiar.

She had even thought of creating a miracle, beating the strong while weak, and now it seemed the other party had indeed shown considerable mercy.

A true Academy Professor of Demigod Level Transcendent, disguised for a direct strike—a lot of secrecy must be involved behind it. The funny thing was she even attempted to entice...

Trying hard not to revisit her actions after her defeat at the Archipelago, but soon memories from her sister’s dream rushed in, and for a moment, Veil wanted to slap her own forehead.

"But I just passed by the Sword Pavilion earlier. Although it wasn’t open, just looking from the outside was awe-inspiring."

"Oh?"

When Veil pointed in a direction, Professor Fu suddenly stopped.

"Want to take a look inside?"

...

"Huh?"

Veil was clearly startled by this unexpected suggestion.

"But I heard that even students of the Swordsmanship Department are only allowed in during specific times each year, and even mentors need special approval from Director Li during regular times."

"Hehe... Li Weixuan, is it? He is indeed quite good."

Looking off into the distance, Fu Qian seemed touched by the mention of the name.

"Steady and measured, but principled. I’ve talked with Cass, and we both think he’s capable of taking on more responsibilities."

Sighing heavily, Fu Qian appeared nostalgic.

"Ever since his grandfather gracefully retired, the position of Academy Dean has been vacant for quite a while."

"Is... that so?"

Veil awkwardly concurred.

Casually chatting somehow led to such significant matters concerning the Academy’s destiny, but her identity didn’t seem entirely appropriate.

Nevertheless, Professor Fu genuinely seemed concerned about the Academy’s future.

No wonder Professor Lisa, despite her verbal dissatisfaction, still followed arrangements.

"Of course, I’m not very familiar with Li He, but in the limited encounters I’ve had, Li Weixuan indeed inherited some of his grandfather’s charisma. Demigod is nothing to him."

Veil, amidst her shock, noted this was all confidential information she perhaps shouldn’t have heard.

As Fu Qian spoke wistfully, he had already changed direction, indicating for her to follow.

"Come on, although I may not have made significant academic contributions, he should still do me this small favor."

"Sure it won’t be any trouble for you?"

Although she immediately responded to the call, facing this development likened to meeting a legendary monk, Veil seriously emphasized.

The other party had already helped her immensely, especially regarding Riet’s situation.

"Actually, my weapon is rather special, even if I enter, I might not gain anything."

Those two rapiers?

Naturally thinking of the twin swords once used in body technique sparring with her, Fu Qian shook his head with a smile.

"That’s because you haven’t seen what Li Weixuan’s grandfather used."

...

"Your Excellency... is there anything I can help with?"

Not seen for days, the grand door of the Sword Pavilion remained as majestic as ever, even the gatekeeper seemed familiar.

But this brother with tousled hair clearly wouldn’t make the same mistake as before.

Even though Professor Fu maintained a low-key style, the students and faculty of the Academy increasingly knew of this new Demigod.

Alongside the legendary heroic deeds associated with him.

Yet the more it was so, the more puzzled the gatekeeper was about his purpose here, unconsciously eyeing Fu Qian’s attire.

Fortunately, there was no attempt to sneak in wearing the Swordsmanship Department’s uniform—

"You’ve been working hard. I’ve met a young person with exceptional talent in the Sword Dao, could you allow her to go inside and contemplate for a while?"

...

"You can explain the situation to Director Li."
