As it turned out, the mission briefing had been right.
What happened at the banquet had indeed caused him quite a bit of trouble.
At least for tonight, he probably wouldn't be able to take any action.
But considering the mission had no strict time limit, there was no need to rush.
So, after a brief discussion, Fu Qian ended up staying at Lanaia's place.
Fortunately, the academy's instructors were treated quite well, and Lanaia's residence was far more luxurious than it looked.
And Lanaia was a woman of her word. After showing Fu Qian to a guest room upstairs, she went straight to bed downstairs.
Early the next morning, Lanaia called Fu Qian up and brought him to a conference room.
At a glance, the layout and furnishings looked very familiar. Fu Qian quickly realized this was the same place as the previous hearing.
Even two of the three hearing officers on the platform—a man and a woman—were familiar faces from last time.
Presumably to avoid any appearance of impropriety, Lanaia sat in the observer's seats this time.
What was surprising was that the third person taking her place was also someone he knew—Li Weixuan.
The Peak Fourth Order who had failed to advance showed no signs of dejection. He sat there with an easy, composed air.
Compared to before, his temperament seemed more restrained, no longer so sharp and aggressive.
It had to be said that his presence here was a little strange.
First of all, it was probably not because the matter was especially serious.
If a matter that even a Night Watcher could handle required this man to preside over a hearing, that would be making a mountain out of a molehill.
Was it because of his earlier conflict with Fu Qian?
