"Who is it?"
Xu Yue's voice came from the phone, and she sounded a little absent-minded.
This was indeed the case, otherwise, she wouldn't have answered the call without even checking the caller ID... In fact, it was a good thing that she didn't hang up or ignore the call.
"Teacher, it's me, Su Mu. Are you doing an experiment?" Su Mu asked after introducing himself.
Xu Yue glanced at the paper in her hand and said subconsciously: "Doing experiments? No..."
Then he reacted and quickly changed the topic: "Ah, yes, I am doing an experiment, what do you want?"
Although she was fascinated by Su Mu's papers more than once, she never told Su Mu about it, for fear that Su Mu would look down on her as a teacher... and now is no exception.
Although she hesitated, Su Mu did not think much about it. He thought she was just too focused on the experiment. While admiring her, he did not waste any time and directly told her the reason for calling.
"A friend of mine asked me to help her with a breakthrough mission. I have to leave for the dangerous snowy mountain area tomorrow. I'll call you to let you know and ask for leave."
Xu Yue put down the paper in her hand and said seriously, "Breakthrough mission? You can go and help. Your cultivation is about to break through, and you may find an opportunity for a breakthrough from this mission! As for the dangerous snow mountain area, you must be prepared to protect yourself from the wind and keep warm. The environment there is many times worse than the snow mountain outside."
Su Mu's expression was stern. Even Xu Yue said that the environment in the Snow Mountain was harsh, which showed that it was definitely not simple. It seemed that he had to prepare more spiritual dishes that could provide resistance to wind and snow and increase the warmth and heat generation effect.
"I see. Thank you for the reminder, teacher. Also, I would like to ask the teacher for a favor."
"What favor? Tell me."
Xu Yue agreed readily. Since his apprentice came to him for help, he had to help him in every way.
Su Mu thanked him first, then asked, "Do you have any protective magic weapon that ordinary people can use?"
When Xu Yue heard this, she immediately responded, "Why, you want to take Xiao Ye with you?"
Without waiting for Su Mu to explain, she continued, "That's right. If Xiao Ye's innate magical power is really related to luck, going to a dangerous place can really train her innate magical power and allow her to grow."
Su Mu quickly responded: "Yes, I think so too."
However, Xu Yue didn't have any protective magic weapon that ordinary people could use. She wanted to ask Su Mu to find Wen Wubin, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her mind and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"It is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow afternoon." Su Mu replied.
Xu Yue replied: "Okay, leave this matter to me. I will deliver the protective magic weapon to Xiao Ye before you leave."
Su Mu was overjoyed: "Thank you, teacher."
"You're welcome." Xu Yue said as she stood up, picked up the paper in front of her and sorted it out, then reached to the side to pick up another paper, but she found nothing.
Um?
Xu Yue turned her head in surprise and found that another paper that should have been placed next to her was missing!
She was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat. She turned around hurriedly to look for him, but was shocked by the situation behind her - she didn't know when there were several people standing behind her.
If Xu Yue hadn't recognized at a glance that these people were colleagues from the Alchemy Department, he would have used poison and acupuncture knife.
She first questioned, "What are you guys doing? When did you come to my lab? And you're standing here without saying a word. Do you want to scare me to death?"
Then she saw these people, putting their heads together, looking at a pile of documents - it was exactly what she was looking for, another paper written by Su Mu.
Su Mu heard the voice coming from the phone and asked anxiously, "Teacher, what happened to you? Are you okay?"
Xu Yue realized that she hadn't hung up the phone yet, and said hurriedly, "It's okay, a few colleagues were teasing me. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll hang up."
"It's okay. Goodbye, teacher."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yue snatched Su Mu's paper away from these colleagues.
After losing the paper, these colleagues who were petrified a second ago, immediately came to life and talked about it in unison.
"Hey, why did you take the paper away?"
"I haven't seen it yet, bring it here so I can take another look."
"Isn't there another paper? Show it to us too."
"Who wrote these two papers? You?"
"What are you looking at? You only look at the content and not the author?" Xu Yue raised the paper in her hand and pointed at the author under the title: "Don't you know these two big words? This is Su Mu's paper!"
"Su Mu's paper? I didn't expect that in addition to his research on the basic theory of cultivation and foundation building, he also has such unique views on the knowledge of elixirs! Just now we saw the article "A Dialectical View of the Mastery of the Temperature in Alchemy", which explains in detail all the changes in the temperature in alchemy."
"Isn't it? The most important thing is that he also proposed several new ideas. This is not only a supplement to the theory of temperature, but if we follow this line of thought, we may be able to research many new things!"
"After so many years of development, the theory of fire temperature in alchemy has already been perfected. Under such circumstances, Su Mu can still come up with something new, and it is not just a mere hypothesis, but a relatively mature theory that can even be directly applied to practical operations... It's incredible!"
Xu Yue was secretly pleased with her colleagues' performance.
But she didn't show it. Instead, she said calmly, "Is this incredible? Can you guys be a little more promising? These are just Su Mu's basic operations! Do you think I am as surprised and ignorant as you are? You are teachers, can't you be more stable? What would your students think if they saw your performance?"
At the same time, Xu Yue was thinking in her heart: "No wonder the teacher likes to show off Su Mu so much. It feels so good to see others being stunned."
Several colleagues looked at Xu Yue without saying anything, but complained in their hearts: Who was it that went to Guangdong Province for a few days before and still had the nerve to talk about us?
Xu Yue glanced through the paper and made sure there were no missing pages before saying, "What's the matter with you coming here? You didn't come here just to look at Su Mu's paper, did you? If not, I have to leave."
These colleagues originally came to ask Su Mu about his study today, and they opened the market again. However, after reading Su Mu's thesis, they were no longer in the mood to gamble, and just wanted to study.
"If you have something to do, just go do your thing. Leave Su Mu's paper for us to take a look at, or let us copy a copy?"
"Haha, that's a nice thought." Xu Yue rolled her eyes at her colleagues and said, "I'm going to hand these two papers over to Director Wen now. If you want to read or copy them, go talk to the director."
Several colleagues remained silent.
Asking Director Wen for Su Mu's thesis? Don't be ridiculous! You can't get anything Su Mu handed over, even a piece of waste paper, from him.
Xu Yue took in the reactions of several colleagues, suppressed her laughter, and said, "Don't you dare to go? Then wait two months and read it in an academic journal."
"This is the only way..." Several colleagues sighed. Thinking that they would have to wait several more months before they could see such a good article, they felt a little annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.
"By the way." Xu Yuedu walked out of the laboratory, then stepped back and warned sternly: "The contents of the paper you just saw are forbidden to be leaked before it is officially published. Also, don't have any bad thoughts, otherwise, with the director's temper, you should know the consequences!"
Although she had some petty intentions, for Su Mu's sake, Xu Yue had to speak out the truth. After all, academic plagiarism and fraud were not uncommon in the cultivation world.
Several people expressed their opinions at the same time, saying that they were people of strong character and high moral character, and that they would not and would never do such a thing.
When Xu Yue came to Wen Wubin's office, he was looking at the records of yesterday's discussion.
Xu Yue took out the two articles and placed them on Wen Wubin's desk.
"Teacher, this is the elixir thesis written by Su Mu. I took a look at it and the level is not worse than the previous articles on foundation building and basic theories of cultivation."
"Oh?" Wen Wubin was overjoyed when he heard this. He picked up the two articles and started reading them.
Xu Yue added, "There is one more thing. Su Mu is going to the Snow Mountain Danger Area to help a friend of his complete a breakthrough mission. He plans to take Xiao Ye with him to train Xiao Ye's natural magical powers, but he is afraid that Xiao Ye will encounter danger in the Snow Mountain Danger Area, so he wants to ask for a protective magic weapon for Xiao Ye."
"If Xiao Ye's innate magical power is really luck, then being in a dangerous place can really help him train! As for the protective magic weapon..."
Wen Wubin thought for a moment and said, "Leave this matter to me. The school is having a headache because Su Mu has been publishing papers in the Journal of Cultivation Studies for a long time. He deserves a reward, but they don't know how to reward him. Give him money, he has enough. Give him elixirs, runes, magic tools and other supplies. The ones he produces himself may be better than what the school gives! His request this time is a reminder for us. If it's not easy to give him things, then give them to Xiao Ye. Maybe Su Mu likes this way of reward more."
Wen Wubin was very happy that a difficult problem was solved unexpectedly.
He picked up his phone, made a few calls, and then said to Xu Yue: "Go to the logistics department, someone is waiting for you there. If what they give you is not good, call me, and I will scold them to death!"
"Okay, teacher. I'll go right away." Xu Yue replied.
As Wen Wubin's cultivation reached the peak of level six and showed signs of moving towards level seven, his status and influence in the school became higher and higher. Once his cultivation really broke through to level seven, his office would have to be changed to the vice-principal's office.
Wen Wubin always believed that his improvement in cultivation was thanks to Su Mu's articles. Because of this, he valued Su Mu very much and paid special attention to Su Mu's affairs. It was a pity that he didn't have a daughter or granddaughter of the right age, otherwise he would have taken Su Mu in long ago.
