Chapter 1826: Purifying the Remains
Upright and open, righteous and awe-inspiring.
Though Bookstore Owner Fang Xun had played a supporting role on this trip to the academy, he was hardly an insignificant figure in the Night Watchers' eyes.
Even Chief Yuan, who hadn't accompanied them, was likely looking forward to the historic meeting between Bookstore Owner Fang and Professor Fu.
So how should the meeting take place?
Would Professor Fu stay behind closed doors, maintaining the stance he'd conveyed to Li Weixuan and simply refusing to take part in the matter?
Or would Bookstore Owner Fang show his face, then retreat behind the scenes and ask the academy's elites to help with the investigation?
Neither option was particularly illogical, but the bigger picture was another matter.
Fu was a man of integrity. Why should he hide anything? What was wrong with traveling alongside them to the academy?
When Fu Qian accepted the job, he'd already decided how he would make his entrance: no pretense whatsoever. He would present his two-in-one identity to the Night Watchers outright.
Judging by the reaction so far, at least this Night Watcher seemed to have taken it very well.
It wasn't hard to understand why Su Gao seemed a little more relaxed.
Traveling together in their true identities was one thing. Before, she'd clearly been worried that she might drag him into trouble—or even expose his identity.
But he'd chosen such a bold approach outright. Clearly, there was no need to worry about that anymore. Everything was under control.
"This place really is different from everywhere else. Even at this hour, it feels so full of life."
Now that she had relaxed, Su Gao soon stepped onto the academy grounds and looked around, giving the place her approval.
Full of life? That was true enough.
