Chapter 781: Chapter 779 Exposure_1 Chapter 781: Chapter 779 Exposure_1 “Indeed, I cannot rule out this possibility.”
Fu Qian’s speculation about the state of Kagetsu Kana was clearly impactful, and after pondering for a while, Su Gao finally nodded slightly in agreement.
“In fact, I’ve also come into contact with various types of Transcendents who undergo cultivation, and overall, the impression is rather chaotic. They’re not any more systematic than our type; amongst them, Sword Dao is comparatively more refined.”
“So, inadvertently conforming to the laws of cultivation without being aware of it–I believe there is indeed a probability for such a thing to occur.”
Sword Dao is refined; that’s because you haven’t seen those unserious families acting like they’re possessed by gods.
Recalling the mission he had just completed, Fu Qian sighed inwardly.
“Additionally, regarding your judgment about the attribute of infamy, I can only say that in my experience, there have been no similar cases.”
At this point, Su Gao continued to ponder.
“To define a concept, popularize and spread it, and then endow it with a Transcendent meaning, this is simply–”
“The authority of Divine Beings, right?”
Fu Qian smiled faintly, expressing what she had in mind.
“Actually, I have the same feeling that Emperor Yasui doesn’t seem as frail as the outside world believes.”
“As for his purpose, our initial speculation was that the Native Council is helping him to resolve his own hidden dangers. On my way back, I’ve been thinking–could it be that we were too conservative? Perhaps he aims to go even further?”
Divine Envoy aiming to go further…
Even the normally composed Su Gao couldn’t help but look at Fu Qian in surprise and, after some reflection, shook his head.
“I cannot make a judgment on this. All I can say is that, to my knowledge, every ascension to a higher phase after attaining divinity is often mysterious and complex. If Yasui Tokiyuki is indeed considering this, then it’s likely not his only move.”
“Understood, I was merely speculating based on the outcomes.”
Fu Qian nodded.
“After all, such actions are not merely playing with fire; should an uncontrollable event occur, it’s certainly beyond what Yin Hehong can handle.”
“Such high risks, if not matched with corresponding rewards, make it hard to imagine that Emperor Yasui would be willing to undertake them.”
“From this perspective, there is indeed some logic to it.”
Su Gao nodded.
“However, this likely spells trouble for Kagetsu Kana. Even if the Night Watchman isn’t a problem for her, Yasui Corp will definitely pay her close attention.”
“On one hand, she has shown remarkable performance in that notorious game; on the other, she has participated in tests for the Miracle Elixir and now has ascended to Transcendence–”
The next moment, Su Gao thought of something.
“Yes.”
Fu Qian knew clearly what she wanted to say.
“So, in addition to possible summoning, Yasui Corp will certainly pay attention to this other experiment subject of theirs.”
“This is not a bad thing since I am also quite interested in the Miracle Elixir.”
…
My exchange with classmate Su Gao appears to be quite normal so far, and there hasn’t been any of that subconscious mental defense manifesting as before.
After sending Su Gao back to his room to rest, Fu Qian silently assessed the interaction.
The reasons he could think of included, on one hand, that this girl’s rank was too high, maybe her resistance to cognitive influences was just too strong.
On the other hand, Su Gao seemed to always value her own opinions highly, so a slight influence didn’t really make any difference.
Of course, the last possibility is that all those cognitive influences from Kisaragi Chie and the others were just overthinking on his part, and Yasui Tokiyuki simply liked to share joy with the people.
…
The facts proved that there was no overthinking.
The next morning, upon seeing the new visitor, Fu Qian couldn’t help but reflect silently.
“Mr. Darcy.”
Zetian, attempting to remain composed, greeted Fu Qian while stiffly introducing the person next to him.
“This is Miss Nepheli. Because there are some new developments regarding the Miracle Elixir test you previously participated in, she would like to have a brief communication with you.”
Nepheli?
Fu Qian sized up the person beside Zetian.
It was hard to judge the specific age, white shirt, soft brown hair, and beautiful lips curled with a hint of a smile.
This figure was all too familiar, it was none other than the Goddess Envoy who had appeared in the Clear Dream Ring not long ago.
At this moment, although she stood there with her true face, there was an indescribable sense of illusion about her every move that somehow harmonized perfectly with the space around her.
A Divine Envoy showing up in person? And not even bothering to disguise herself?
Anyone unaware would think that Kagetsu Kana had become a Demigod after just one drink!
Of course, Fu Qian wouldn’t believe that this Goddess Envoy would condescend to come here for such trivial matters.
“Please, have a seat.”
The next moment, Fu Qian removed two masks, revealing his own Darcy face and made a polite gesture.
“Thank you!”
This action seemed to surprise Nepheli, but in the blink of an eye, her smile bloomed beautifully, and she sat down after thanking him politely.
“Mr. Darcy, you really are full of surprises!”
After sitting down, she looked Darcy up and down with a face full of admiration.
“I came today because of the Miracle Elixir, Kagetsu Kana, who used the same formula as you, has just been proven to have ascended to Transcendence, so the group is very interested in your recent situation.”
“Indeed, it is miraculous, in fact, I was there at the scene.”
Fu Qian nodded his head.
“Then I believe you must have a rather subtle feeling about it, so after I was informed, I came over as soon as possible.”
Nepheli appeared quite satisfied with Fu Qian’s candidness.
“Of course, I still didn’t expect it to be this interesting before I came.”
“By the way, I presume there’s no issue with me calling you Mr. Darcy? After all, I heard from Zetian that you already killed the real Darcy.”
Ah!
Nepheli’s words were shocking, but while Fu Qian remained unresponsive in his seat, Brother Zetian suddenly stood up.
His face changed colors like a rainbow, gaping at Nepheli for a while, then abruptly turned to Fu Qian, his barely maintained composure shattering in an instant.
“Impossible! I never said that!”
“I’m particularly interested in the Miracle Elixir because of Kagetsu Kana.”
Fu Qian completely ignored him and continued to speak for himself.
“No wonder you deliberately induced Zetian to help you with irregular operations.”
Nepheli nodded, her face wearing an expression as if everything suddenly made sense.
“I didn’t conduct any irregular operations–”
With his secret exposed once more, Zetian’s voice was sharp with an edge of hysteria, and he looked as if he was on the brink of collapse.
His noise finally provoked Nepheli’s irritation.
“Quiet, make some tea.”
With just one glance from Nepheli, Zetian calmed down instantly, silent and moving aside.
In fact, regarding what she had said, Fu Qian was inclined to believe her.
In his understanding, it was indeed unlikely that he had divulged their secret plot.
Unfortunately, in the Supernatural World, for a Second Phase with suspicions, finding out the “truth” from him would be all too easy.
“Truly a miraculous object!”
As the living room regained its tranquility, Nepheli looked at the two-layer masks by Fu Qian’s hand the next moment, clicking her tongue in admiration.
“Who would have thought, in this inconspicuous corner, that there could be two Demigods at the same time.”
