Chapter 111: Chapter 110 Hunter Craves for Blood (10)_1
“Please rest assured, it won’t be a bother for too long.” the Night Watchmen should catch Henrik pretty soon.”
“Additionally, you don’t need to follow me all the time. Just make sure I have someone to ask for help when it’s crucial.”
Having successfully moved to her reinforcements, Wen Li was clearly in a good mood, smiling brightly all the way and speaking very sincerely.
Of course, if you could discuss salary issues with me, that would show even more sincerity.
However, Wen Li, true to the capitalist lineage, was full of gratitude but never once mentioned compensation, as if she had completely forgotten that part.
Let’s just assume the kid was overly excited.
At this moment, Wen Li was obviously more relaxed than before, talking much more than usual.
Of course, if she knew that Fu Qian was planning to use her as bait, who knows what mood she’d be in.
Confronted with the livelier young lady, the driver in front kept his eyes forward, driving the car with the precision and regulation of a robot.
That was also understandable, given Wen Li’s ability to perceive emotions; glaring wouldn’t have escaped her notice.
I should also be mindful of this moving forward.
No matter how frail she may appear, she is now a genuine Middle Tier Transcendent.
In conversing with Wen Li, Fu Qian confirmed that it had been two months since the last upgrade incident.
It was clear that, like Su Gao, he was a mysterious figure whose movements were unpredictable to them.
…
The rich do love to buy houses wherever they go.
About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a delicately crafted small manor.
While it couldn’t compare with the Wen Family’s mansion, it was obviously quite expensive.
This was where Wen Li stayed in Shangjing.
“The place is a bit cramped. Please don’t mind.”
Wen Li giggled, pulling a direct Versailles on the spot.
But for a world where martial strength speaks, her apology seemed somewhat sincere.
Given the strength I had previously shown, it was not surprising that I would have some expectations for my quality of life, being a Middle Tier Transcendent myself.
In this world, Transcendent powers greatly enhanced the earning potential for the poor.
No sooner had the two stepped out of the car than someone came out to meet them.
“You’re back, and there’s a guest who has been waiting for quite a while!”
Fu Qian glanced over and felt like he had seen this person before.
If he remembered correctly, this should be the former butler of the Wen Family.
They sent him directly to take care of Wen Li?
It seemed that while Wen Xiuxian was intent on cultivating his daughter’s abilities, he might also be considering shifting the family focus to Shangjing.
“A guest?”
Wen Li looked somewhat puzzled and glanced back at Fu Qian.
“Mr. Fang, why don’t you go and rest first?”
Good, very tactful.
Wen Li was quite perceptive, addressing him by his current guise given that he had not removed his mask.
In response to such cleverness, Fu Qian naturally reciprocated.
“No need. I might as well fulfill my duty.”
Waiting like a hunter, the value lies in persistence.
To prevent empty vigilance, one must never be distracted.
“Then I’ll trouble you.”
Wen Li, obviously not expecting Fu Qian to be so dedicated to his job, thanked him heartily.
Together, they entered the reception room where someone was already waiting inside.
This person looked familiar.
Upon a bit of reflection, Fu Qian remembered who this was—the youth from the Chen Clan who had helped him out at the banquet the previous day.
Earlier in the car, Wen Li had mentioned him. His name was Chen Mingda, right?
Chen Mingda, who had obviously been waiting for a while, stood up and approached as soon as he saw Wen Li enter.
“I’m really sorry about yesterday. I didn’t expect such an incident to happen. I wanted to make sure you were all right.”
“Thank you for your concern. I’m perfectly fine.”
Faced with Chen Mingda’s visit of concern, Wen Li responded with a fitting smile.
Then the two exchanged pleasantries typical of business etiquette, which nearly put Fu Qian to sleep.
“This is…”
Chen Mingda finished with the pleasantries and turned his gaze towards Fu Qian, a puzzled expression on his face.
“Mr. Fang.”
“A little accident happened at home, so I came over to borrow a place to stay from Wen Li.”
Without waiting for Wen Li to speak, Fu Qian directly said so and casually made up a reason.
As a Night Watchman, he needed to hide as much personal information as possible.
“Pleasure to meet you!”
Chen Mingda’s expression showed no peculiarities, and he greeted Fu Qian politely.
It was evident that this man moved with a unique rhythm, and his actions seemed different from ordinary people.
Wen Li had said that the Chen Clan Youngsters specialized in psychic techniques, and it truly seemed a bit special.
However, judging by the intensity of his aura, Chen Mingda was only about the Seventh Phase.
For someone around thirty, that wasn’t weak.
But relying on the backing of aristocratic families, ample resources, and added talents, he could only be considered mediocre.
He was even weaker than that Chen Mingfei.
Putting that aside, Chen Mingda fully demonstrated the upbringing of a major family’s progeny, his conversation was refined, and every action showed cultivation.
“Actually, there is another matter I came for today.”
After the trio sat down and Chen Mingda exchanged some pleasantries, he got to the main topic.
“Miss Wen, have you heard? Last night, the Night Watchmen Base was intruded upon.”
“That happened?”
It was clear that Wen Li was genuinely surprised.
“Indeed, I also found it hard to believe my ears when I first heard the news.”
Chen Mingda nodded.
“And it’s said that Demigod Yuan Shan, the person in charge of the Night Watchman in Shangjing, was also at the base at that time.
And yet, they couldn’t even retain the intruder, confirming this mysterious person’s extraordinary strength.”
“They couldn’t hold down the person even with a Demigod in charge…”
Wen Li’s worldview seemed somewhat overturned.
“Could it be a High-Tier Transcendent?”
“There aren’t that many High-Tier Transcendents, I can’t think of anyone who would do such a thing, the key is we still don’t know his purpose.”
“We already have a madman outside, now the situation has suddenly become more complex, you better reduce your outings recently.”
“Thank you for the reminder!”
Wen Li’s expression grew solemn as she nodded her head.
“In fact.”
Chen Mingda pondered for a moment.
“Considering you’re very likely a target of Henrik, and now even the Night Watchmen’s side isn’t safe, have you thought about moving to Houhai Manor for a while?”
Move to Houhai Manor?
Wen Li was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head in refusal.
“No need.”
“I will try to minimize going out recently and believe there won’t be any problems.”
“All right then.”
Chen Mingda seemed somewhat disappointed but gracefully did not insist. After some more small talk, he took his leave and returned to his residence.
After seeing Chen Mingda off, Wen Li turned her head and looked at Fu Qian in the distance.
For some reason, the moment she heard about someone breaking into the Night Watchmen Base, she had an inexplicable urge to look towards Fu Qian.
But now she dismissed the strange thought.
Fu Qian was strong; she knew that.
Ever since the last time Fu Qian helped her level up in an unusual way, she had had an unreasonable confidence in this mysterious individual.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought of him immediately when she was threatened.
But the term “Demigod” was still something Wen Li could not associate with the man before her eyes.
News of an event that just happened yesterday, was it spreading too fast?
Now Fu Qian was also wondering.
Although as a member of the Chen Family, Chen Mingda was well-informed, the clarity of the details seemed suspicious.
It was hard to believe it wasn’t deliberate dissemination by Yuan Shan.
