Nian Shutong felt there was nothing wrong with queuing up.
However, it was still better to ask first, so she tapped the shoulder of the student in front with one finger.
"Excuse , do I need to queue even if I’m not buying food?"
"If you’re not eating, then why are you here————Professor Nian!!"
The student in front, sowhat concerned, said, "Classmate, the place you broke off the sentence wasn’t that great."
Nian Shutong had beco famous overnight. Her youthful face, adorned with black and purple patterns, was the standard for a top professor in the Artifact Refining Departnt, making it hard to mistake her.
The student in front chuckled awkwardly, scratching his head, looking a bit at a loss.
"Sorry, Professor Nian, I didn’t realize it was you."
"It’s fine, even if you knew it was , you could still say that. Everyone who wants to buy food should queue."
Two students who wanted to go ahead and find acquaintances greeted Nian Shutong as they passed by her in the aisle, then turned back.
Better to just queue up!
Almost all the students hadn’t taken Nian Shutong’s classes, but the reputation of a big shot in artifact refining wasn’t for nothing. Hadn’t they seen her turn raw materials into extraordinary artifacts?
However, many students still felt quite skeptical.
Who could bla them when only eighteen students could attend the alchemy class, and those eighteen are being tortured by a mud mixture almost to death?
Most students still rembered her for using Fu Yunhe as a lightning rod, and even though she was very impressive and even more so in artifact refining, everyone still felt there might be sothing off about her character.
But, due to the na "Professor Nian," no one dared say anything.
At that mont, Nian Shutong patiently asked again, "If I’m not buying food but just want to speak to soone ahead in line, do I still need to queue?"
How could the student in front say no?
"It’s fine, it’s fine, go ahead."
The student stepped aside, and Nian Shutong walked out of the queue, telling the students behind her, "I’m not buying food, just going to speak to soone ahead."
After she spoke, she walked away, and the students behind her, facing Nian Shutong’s retreating figure, many of them pursed their lips.
If you aren’t buying food, why even co here? As if she could just walk in.
People in line watched as Nian Shutong walked to the front, apparently not saying a word, a person serving the food quickly put down the ladle, opened the cafeteria door for her, and let her in.
She really just went in? Definitely not here to buy food.
Many people just continued to queue up, since they had only thought about it but had not said anything. No face was lost.
Inside, Nian Shutong went straight to the kitchen to talk to the bald master chef about finding so retired veterans.
"Xiao Nian, are you serious?"
The bald master chef certainly knew Nian Shutong’s identity, so he wanted to confirm it once more.
"Xiao Nian, you can’t hide your identity for long. Are you sure you want these people on your planet?"
"Hide? Hide what?"
Nian Shutong, baffled, said, "I’m not hiding anything, I am just Nian Shutong."
Seeing Nian Shutong so openly, the bald master chef suddenly laughed.
"You’re right, you’ve told them already, but so people just refuse to accept a fact."
"They’re unwilling to admit that in this world, there’s such a capable person who can handle everything."
"So it’s them who are persistently looking for evidence to distrust themselves."
Nian Shutong nodded in agreent with Master Fu’s words and said to him, "Master Fu, you don’t need to feel any psychological burden. Since I’ve spoken out, it’s certainly sothing I intend to do."
"But I also have requirents. The character must pass the test. I can help them establish a new ho, but from then on, they must consider themselves people of Blue Star. Everything should prioritize Blue Star, even if I ask them to overthrow the Royal Family, and not question my decisions."
"Oh my! What are you saying!"
Master Fu hurriedly stood up and made sure the doors and windows were closed.
"One shouldn’t even speak of such intentions."
Nian Shutong felt warmth in her heart, and with a smile, she reassured, "Don’t worry, I’ve blocked it, and it was just an example. I don’t have that intention; it’s too exhausting."
"That’s good, that’s good. Be careful with your words." Master Fu sat back down and said sternly to Nian Shutong, "This habit of filtering your speech is good. You must maintain it."
"Okay."
Nian Shutong looked at the serious Master Fu, knowing he truly had her best interests at heart.
"Xiao Nian, I know your abilities are strong, but sotis, the more powerful a person is, the more they need to keep a low profile and be humble."
"Don’t think that just because you are powerful, you fear nothing. There are always unexpected trump cards or events in this world."
"When they really occur, the person who was highest profile will surely die the fastest."
Master Fu spoke straightforwardly; soone narrow-minded might not care or even bear a grudge against him.
But Nian Shutong was different. She seriously looked at Master Fu and assured him, "Don’t worry, I understand this principle, and I don’t plan to do anything. Although Blue Star has been exposed, we have also chosen to live in seclusion."
"We are not opening up to outsiders, and we are developing quietly."
Master Fu nodded and said to Nian Shutong, "I’m not just talking about Blue Star."
"I understand. You are talking about ," Nian Shutong pointed to herself and said. "I will also keep a low profile. I’ve even started farming."
Master Fu was amused by Nian Shutong’s expression, feeling a bit like a senior watching a junior, truly finding her pleasing in every aspect.
In fact, although he was educating Shutong, if she really were his kin, he would have already been unable to resist showing off.
Showing off seems to be a human instinct.
When a child is about three years old and gets a new toy, they will straightforwardly tell you they want to show it to their teacher or a friend.
That’s the most straightforward kind of boasting.
But as we beco adults, we still boast as straightforwardly, though often more subtly.
Of course, there are also many who return to simplicity, seeing everything in perspective.
But such people are truly rare.
Nian Shutong and Master Fu continued to talk, and after a while, Master Fu also agreed to help find people and even planned to follow them to Blue Star for a while.
"Thank you, Master Fu. Having you around really gives peace of mind."
"Don’t thank . I primarily want to see this Blue Star myself."
"Ha ha ha ha! Great, I welco you anyti. You could even settle on Blue Star."
After they agreed, Nian Shutong prepared to leave.
However, as she reached the back door, she stopped. Master Fu stepped forward understandingly and said, "The password is Xiao Nian’s nurical translation."
"No, that’s not what I wanted to know."
Nian Shutong spoke, then feeling it was incorrect, corrected herself, "I want to know, but that’s not what I wanted to ask."
"Oh, what do you want to ask?"
