Chapter 688: Chapter 707: The Dean Appears
The small room was filled with the sweet aroma of food.
It was incredibly rich.
The old generals were mesmerized by the healing fragrance, feeling the throbbing in their heads begin to fade. A comfortable sensation washed over them from head to toe, seeping into every limb and bone.
It was pure bliss.
"Hasn’t Little Jiang gotten stronger recently? Why does it feel like the effects are so much more obvious this time?"
"How could it not be?" Mr. Yuan glanced at the table. "Hah. Usually, we just have three or five dishes. Today, it’s a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast."
"!"
"That’s true," General Fang nodded. "A quantitative change leads to a qualitative one."
"No," General Bo’er said, being more perceptive. "It’s not just the impact from the quantity. It’s... the feeling itself is truly different."
Even a layman could tell something was different.
For an expert like Mrs. Ai’er, the feeling was even more pronounced. As a fellow Spirit Healing Master, Jiang Qiuqiu’s Healing Spiritual Power was visible to her.
Of course, this "visibility" wasn’t something you could see with your eyes, like a shining light. It was something that could be felt.
More active, more concentrated.
"Have you been practicing this recently?" Mrs. Ai’er asked. "Your progress is very obvious."
"Not much," Jiang Qiuqiu replied. ’After all, I’ve even been streaming less.’ "But... it might be related to something else."
"?"
Jiang Qiuqiu glanced at Mrs. Ai’er and said softly, "My spiritual power has leveled up."
"!"
"Leveled up?"
"Yes. My spiritual power drove the improvement in my Healing Spiritual Power. So even though I haven’t practiced much, I feel... it was still beneficial."
’Of course it was beneficial!’
After the pleasantries, Jiang Qiuqiu still had to fry the pumpkin cakes, so she let the elders sit and wait.
The meat patties were quickly done. She cut them up and brought them to the coffee table. Time was a little tight, so while the pumpkin was steaming, Jiang Qiuqiu also prepared some fried milk.
The continuous work was a bit tiring. She tasted a bite or two herself. ’It’s really good.’
Just as she was using long chopsticks to fish out the pumpkin cakes, the doorbell rang again, heralding the arrival of the final guest of the evening.
Mrs. Ai’er went to open the door.
A moment later, a man appeared in the room. He wore a university uniform, his hair was slightly white, and he had a very refined and scholarly air about him.
As someone who was an ’expert’ to the extreme, the first thing Zhu Tiansheng noticed upon entering wasn’t the mouth-watering aroma, but rather—spiritual power. Healing Spiritual Power. An overflowing abundance of Healing Spiritual Power.
Brilliant, bright, joyful, and light—all positive emotions.
The thought flashed through his mind. His nostrils flared, and he immediately came to another conclusion: it was also incredibly alluring.
The last guest took his seat just as the pumpkin cakes finished frying.
She turned off the heat and put the oil away. A group of generals immediately came over to help her carry the plates. She told them they didn’t have to, but no one listened, and they quickly got everything sorted.
Jiang Qiuqiu was the one who had actually initiated the dinner, but Mrs. Ai’er was the one who truly acted as the connecting link between everyone.
So, she was the first to stand up and call everyone to the table.
There were just seven people at a long table. Three sat on one side and two on the other, with one person at each of the two ends.
Mrs. Ai’er and Dean Zhu sat at opposite ends of the table, while Jiang Qiuqiu sat on the left side with Mr. Yuan.
In Jiang Qiuqiu’s mind, everything today should have gone off without a hitch.
She would show her cards to the Dean. According to Mrs. Ai’er, the Dean would definitely be intrigued and ask her why, as a student at Federation University who had mastered Spirit Healing Skills, she wasn’t in the Spirit Healing Department—
Dean: "Where have you been? What have you been studying?"
Qiuqiu: "I’m in the Mecha Department. I’m studying Mechas."
Dean: "You actually went to study Mechas!?"
