This small thing mentioned by Master Bao Yangzi just revealed the most subtle situation of Zheng Qing now - he is like Schrödinger's cat, and his identity is extremely uncertain in the outside world's observation - some people look at him as the dean of the First University College, while others look at him as the head of the relevant department.
In the latter's eyes, Zheng Qing seemed too high-profile. Regardless of his love, his hunting team, his studies, and even his gossip news in the Beta Town Post, etc., it was too noisy for a person from a relevant department. In addition to Master Bao Yangzi, he was probably the second well-known "person in the relevant department" known to many wizards inside and outside the alliance.
In the former's eyes, Zheng Qing seemed too low-key. He did not show up at the college opening ceremony. He was the only dean who did not arrange class hours on the annual class schedule. The dean's office in the office building was closed for most of the time. Many old students who studied at the marginal college for one year didn't even know what their dean looked like.
“—You need to find a clear place for yourself.”
Before leaving, Master Baoyangzi reminded the young legend earnestly: "Whether the academy or the relevant departments, you must always have a focus... Only when you determine the focus can others cooperate with you and find their own position."
Zheng Qing suspected that there was something in his words.
But it's not sure - it may also be that the conversation happened in a special occasion and the atmosphere was wrong, so he was a little too sensitive.
In short, no matter what, the old wizard's suggestions need to be taken seriously. In fact, over the short period of time, Zheng Qing has gradually realized the inconvenience caused by his "Schrödinger identity".
Just like Xuanhuang Palace.
Theoretically, Xuanhuang Palace is the resident of the relevant departments, and those who know should not disclose it to others casually. But because of his special identity, the legends obviously lacked many concerns when revealing the news about Xuanhuang Palace to their close younger generations. Zheng Qing inexplicably felt that he had become a loophole clause in a certain silent contract.
Want to solve this kind of difficult strange problem.
The best way is to find references.
Zheng Qing looked around and found that among the people he knew, those who were in a similar situation to him, counting after counting. Except for Lao Yao, it seemed that the only one was Su Shijun.
Lao Yao's situation is a little special. After entering the first university, he was like the butchers who converted to Buddhism. He almost cut off his relationship with the world and had no contact with demons, so he did not have reference value.
But Su Shijun is different.
She is not only a member of the Yuexia Parliament and the head of the First University Key Laboratory. The conservative wizards in the alliance have always been quite prejudiced by the Yuexia Parliament, but also strictly restricted the high-level wizards of the Yuexia clan to enter advanced laboratories involving dimensional theory. Su Shijun not only gained a firm foothold in the two-dimensional evolution laboratory, but also able to well balance some of the excessive demands put forward by the Yuexia Parliament on her, which is indeed the best choice for Zheng Qing.
“—That’s because I’m pretty enough.”
During dinner, after hearing Zheng Qing's worries, Su Shijun gave up a piece of grilled fish and answered with confidence. This answer immediately received unanimous praise from a row of small heads.
Zheng Qing also thought this answer was very reasonable for no reason.
“—Beautiful and beautiful can do whatever you want.”
A sigh came from the other end of the long table, and immediately made the rows of little heads that nodded repeatedly and drooped.
Zheng Qing silently picked up the spoon, dug a spoonful of mashed potatoes, and stuffed them into his mouth.
The taste is as spicy as chew.
He is now in the restaurant of Qingqiu Mansion. Because of Master Baoyangzi's reminder, he wanted to seek Su Shijun's advice, so he stayed for dinner. As a result, when everyone entered the restaurant, he found that Jiang Yu had also stayed.
Su Shijun sat in the main seat.
Jiang Yu sat opposite her.
So, in the gorgeous long restaurant, there were the noble owner of Qingqiu Mansion sitting at one end and the noble guests of Qingqiu Mansion sitting at the other end, leaving only two long sides. The others looked at each other, and the little fox and three big elves chose one side together, leaving the other side to Zheng Qing.
Fortunately, Zheng Qing also has edamame.
The gray dog was lying obediently at the feet of the young legend, obediently without making any sound.
Ah, positioning.
The male witch chewed this word in her heart, feeling the mockery of fate, suddenly there was a hint of inspiration, she looked left, and then looked right - what else is the answer that suits you better than the positioning on this long table? I was doing very well! Master Baoyangzi let himself find the center of gravity, so balance is his greatest center of gravity.
There is nothing more in line with the concept of order than balance.
The young legend admired the magic of fate in his heart, and nodded silently, with a very small amplitude. Then, immediately, he noticed two sharp arrows shot from the guest seat and realized that he nodded the wrong head.
“—I figured it out.”
The witch found a reason for her nodding, then changed her subject and misinterpreted Su Shijun's answer: "Working between two completely different departments, no matter how beautiful they are, it cannot meet the full recognition of any of them, and it will confuse people outside the two departments... This is inevitable. So, why must I pursue the recognition of others? Whether I am in the marginal college or in the relevant departments, I just need to do my best, have a clear conscience, and comply with the rules. What others want to do and see, it is all other people's business... It has nothing to do with me."
In fact, halfway through the talk, Zheng Qing had already vaguely noticed something was wrong.
I don’t know if it was because of the inspiration just now, but he always felt that everything he said had a strange smell. So much so that later, he had to specifically emphasize the names of the two departments.
Su Shijun and Jiang Yu listened very quietly.
It seems that there is no other explanation for the words of the witch.
"——Baoba, why don't you try to observe this from a legendary perspective?" Oppose Dong suddenly raised the small fork in his hand and asked Zheng Qing with a serious look on his face.
As soon as these words came out, the three adults here all looked at the little fox in shock. As well, the originally subtle atmosphere around the dining table was swept away.
“How to say it?”
Zheng Qing's tone was filled with gratitude.
“——Don’t everyone say that legend is a more magical concept than magic?”
The little fox stuffed the cherry tomatoes on the fork into his mouth, wriggled his cheeks, and looked serious: "Since magic can create miracles, then legends can naturally create miracles... Under the miracle of miracles, there will be any trouble!"
While talking.
She looked left.
He looked to the right again.
Then he looked straight ahead, looking at me, looking like I'm very powerful, please praise me.
