After much deliberation, Nan Zhubin thought the only person who might allow him to further complete a [case archive] was none other than Li Minglu, whom he had transferred in Jiangdu back then.

The painter with a complicated history.

During the psychological intervention with him, Nan Zhubin had also managed to achieve the "master-breaking" feat, which was a way of getting justice for himself.

However, later when Nan Zhubin realized he was beginning to show [countertransference] as a consultant—harboring thoughts such as "hoping the visitor recovers soon so that the [case archive] can be completed"—he timely transferred Li Minglu's case to Weng Pinting.

Back then, he even thought of experimenting to see if he could still gain something under such circumstances.

Now it seems, is there a result?

[Nan Zhubin: Senior Sister, are you there?]

Considering Weng Pinting's profession, Nan Zhubin worried she might be in a consultation, so he only sent a probing message rather than calling directly.

[Nan Zhubin: Is Li Minglu still under your care, how's the recent situation?]

To Nan Zhubin's surprise, there was an instant reply from the other side.

[Weng Pinting: Here, I've always been taking care of Li Minglu.]

[Weng Pinting: What a coincidence, I just finished a consultation with him today. He just walked out of the consultation room, and then I got your message.]

[Weng Pinting: You haven't kept in contact with him, have you? (smile stare.jpg)]

Nan Zhubin chuckled.

[Nan Zhubin: Not really, I just finished a case on my end, and suddenly thought of him.]

Weng Pinting was clearly joking and didn't dwell on the topic, instead, she responded to Nan Zhubin's earlier question.

[Weng Pinting: I can't share the specific situation about Li Minglu now, as it needs to remain confidential from you.]

[Weng Pinting: But his condition is getting better; he might be able to start cutting back on consultations. I'm about to ask my assistant to contact him and reduce the frequency of his visits.]

There you go, mystery solved.

The newly obtained [case archive] was indeed due to Li Minglu's contribution.

Nan Zhubin exhaled a breath of relief, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

Due to professional ethics, it was inappropriate for him to overly concern himself with a case that had been transferred, hence he didn't reach out to Weng Pinting for updates.

But he always had Li Minglu in mind.

Now a lingering concern was finally resolved.

With his objective achieved, Nan Zhubin planned to sleep and review the gains from the two [case archives].

However, a new message came from Weng Pinting.

[Weng Pinting: How's the teacher doing recently?]

[Weng Pinting: How often does he go to the company? How much funding did the research group apply for this year, how many projects in reserve have been completed, and how many new ones are being applied for?]

[Weng Pinting: Also, is the company venturing into any new endeavors recently?]

Nan Zhubin paused in his actions.

Though it was just plain text on the phone screen devoid of emotional connotations,

an inexplicable sense of pressure was still transmitted across the distance.

Nan Zhubin pressed his lips together.

[Nan Zhubin: I've been mostly preparing for exams recently, staying in the dorm arranged by the teacher, along with Senior Brother Dahui.]

[Nan Zhubin: Therefore, I haven't met the teacher much and am not well informed about the research group's situation.]

[Weng Pinting: Ha, you and the teacher made headlines, did you know? You made quite a splash in court, did you know?]

[Weng Pinting: Never mind, I'll ask Dahui, you focus on reading and studying hard.]

[Nan Zhubin: Okay~ (striving.jpg)]

He managed to get by.

The power inherent to a sect's presiding disciple, dispatched to guard a region, is truly overwhelming.

If it were a face-to-face conversation, Nan Zhubin felt he could still keep up with Weng Pinting through extraordinary ability.

But under the current circumstances... better him than me.

He lamented for Chonghui and Bai Qinghua for two seconds, then quickly set down his phone and lay on the desk.

[Emotion Rebalancing], [Emotion Rebalancing], [Emotion Rebalancing], [Emotion Rebalancing]...

And fell asleep right away.

...

As consciousness sank.

Nan Zhubin opened his eyes again, finding himself in his Dream Psychological Consultation Room, the reference book for his postgraduate review was still beside him from the previous night.

A thought crossed his mind, the reference book returned itself to the shelf, while Nan Zhubin's gaze fell upon the computer in front of him.

[Monthly Goal: Complete 10 hours of "Psychological Consultation" within one month (10/10), and conduct one "Psychological Ability Training" upon completion]

[This month's goal has been achieved]

[You have one [Psychological Ability Training] to claim].

[Life Development: Archive 1 "case archive" (1(+1)/1), and conduct one "Psychological Skill Deepening" upon completion]

[You have one [Psychological Skill Deepening] to claim]

[You have one [Psychological Skill Deepening (Group)] to claim]

Nan Zhubin raised an eyebrow.

The first [Monthly Goal] was also provided by Nan Zhihao, just finishing the consultation with him reached this month's 10-hour consultation.

Nothing much to say—check out the reward shortly, if it's useful, continue, if not, go back to studying for the exam.

As for the [Psychological Skill Deepening] from the [case archive]...

Nan Zhubin eyed the last prompt, particularly the words [ (Group)].

Indeed, only completing half the case yields a reward different from handling it solo.

It remains to be seen what the effect is.

Nan Zhubin proceeded to click open this prompt first.
