A trace of doubt arose in Wayne's heart.
So he was not in a hurry to leave for a while, but walked to Conley and started talking.
"Was the teacher arguing with the chairman just now?" He showed a bit of curiosity unique to young people.
Conley was about to answer, but the last sentence was immediately cut off by Harold. "Ahem...it's nothing. We just discussed some academic issues."
Then he showed a somewhat displeased look. "Okay, do you have any questions? If not, go back first."
This impatient urge to drive people away was no longer concealed at all.
Wayne said a long "Oh" and glanced at Conley's face several times.
Conley didn't understand it at first, but after Wayne's repeated hints several times, he finally came around.
"I have other things to deal with, and I don't have time to listen to your nonsense anymore."
After that, he picked up his bag and turned around to leave.
"Eh--"
Harold originally wanted to retain him, but with Wayne present, he couldn't resort to unconventional means. In the end, he had no choice but to hammer the table angrily.
The office fell silent, and Wayne left with a wink.
"Go ahead, go ahead..." Harold waved his hand back boredly.
"If I see your teacher again, tell me this: Once you miss an opportunity, you will never come back."
After watching Wayne leave, Harold grabbed the magnifying glass on his desk and knocked on it unhappily.
"Today's young people are all crazy and naughty... huh."
His deep voice gradually disappeared.
Outside the office building.
When Wayne came out, he immediately saw Professor Conley standing under the shade of a tree, waiting for him.
He felt slightly relieved, it seemed that his teacher still cared about him as a student.
"Teacher." He said hello and walked forward.
"Yeah." Conley turned around and subconsciously pulled the tie around his neck that was a little tight.
"The water in the Royal Capital has been muddy recently, so please pay more attention." He said quietly.
Wayne was startled. This was the third person who told him to pay attention or be careful.
When everyone around you is aware that the storm is coming, maybe somewhere in the corner, thunder has quietly arrived.
"Yeah, I understand." He nodded.
"By the way, what was the teacher arguing with the chairman just now? It seemed like they were having a serious argument." He seemed to just mention it casually.
"Hey..."
Conley was clearly full of resentment and was about to complain, but in the blink of an eye he seemed to have regained his senses, and was unwilling to say it clearly because he was concerned about something.
"..." He was silent for a while.
"About a certain research. If it goes well in the end, you will know when the time comes. If it doesn't go well, there is no need to tell it."
This answer sounds very perfunctory, but it is really not very convincing.
Speaking of which, Conley has indeed always been keen on studying and analyzing the characteristics of substances, and using this to combine magic to create some weird things. In the Kingdom of Lornes, it is not an exaggeration to call him a great inventor.
Thinking of this, Wayne's mind was like a flash of lightning, and all the fog suddenly became clear.
"--teacher."
He suddenly said with a strange expression. "Can I ask you to do me a favor?"
…
After entrusting the research on the active ingredients in this special potion to Professor Conley, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief.
In terms of professionalism, even though I have been studying for a long time, I am still far from the level of Professor Conley.
Hope to get good results.
However, when he returned to the Lily Club, he was shocked by what happened in front of him.
On the long conference table made of mahogany, the incompatible camps on both sides were clearly separated.
On one side is Chris, and on the other side is Songli.
"What are you..." He separated from the crowd of spectators and stepped forward.
Geli glanced at him coldly.
"Irrelevant people cannot affect the game." She said to Chris.
"Of course!" Chris replied not to be outdone.
Then she turned her head: "Wein, you go and play for now. Today I will give this guy a lesson!"
"???"
Wayne suddenly had questions in his head.
"Let him go away." Ge Li frowned tightly, as if Wayne just standing at the table for a second was unbearable to her.
Chris turned around and wanted to say something to Wayne, but Wayne quickly finished the sentence for her.
"It doesn't matter, I'll wait for you." He said.
"But it's best not to take too long. It's almost time for school to end. Butler Hall may be worried if he waits outside for too long."
Even if he forced himself to stay, Geli would probably not tolerate it any longer, and he knew this very well.
After the recent tug, Songli has become much more cruel, and he doesn't want to continue irritating her anymore.
After silently taking a few steps back, Wayne sat on the other side of the activity room, holding his chin and looking at them from a distance.
After successfully eliminating the interfering factors, the two of them continued their game.
It seems that the two-person gameplay with a fixed number of cards randomly drawn is naturally not as interesting as the fixed three-person group, but the two of them did not sit together for fun in the first place, so naturally they will not care about these details.
If you ignore the tense atmosphere between the two people, I have to say that this picture is quite eye-catching, but it's a pity...
Not long after he sat down, there were light footsteps behind him.
"It seems that these two people are going to be lifelong enemies." Lawrence sighed from the side.
Although Wayne had been mentally prepared for this, subconsciously he still didn't want to give up so early.
"Is there any way to get the two of them back together?" he asked.
Lawrence was surprised: "Reunited? Is there anything good between them?"
"...This is just a modification, don't pay attention to such details!" Wayne said seriously, "If the relationship between the two of them can be improved, wouldn't it also be conducive to the unity of the Lily Society as a whole?"
"Give it up," Lawrence said bluntly.
"Even the ministers appointed by my father are still fighting to the death. Don't expect anything like 'overall unity'."
He was not optimistic about Wayne's proposal at all.
"Those two people are very arrogant. Unless one of them is willing to take the initiative to give in, the fight will probably continue...and even if someone makes a concession in the future, I'm afraid it's not to reverse the relationship, but just because there is one person. The fight is lost.”
Wayne said a little surprised, "You are very perceptive."
In fact...it's not that I don't understand what he said, but I just don't want to accept it.
But Lawrence twitched his lips and said nonchalantly: "I can't help it. I have been living outside since I was a child, so I just have to be more discerning than others."
