Chapter 968: Chapter 966 The Most Direct Test Chapter 968: Chapter 966 The Most Direct Test “Swollen?”
Fu Qian’s description left everyone who heard it confused.
However, Miss Wen, blessed with a heart as delicate as an orchid, keenly noticed that his pants did indeed look like they had split from the inside.
Most importantly, they definitely couldn’t be worn anymore.
“Shall I have someone send over a few sets of clothes?”
“Please do.”
Fu Qian nodded slightly, without a hint of embarrassment.
Jokingly, he thought about the cost of a Demigod bodyguard–just deduct it from the salary!
Of course, even though Wen Li was full of curiosity, Fu Qian still did not elaborate on why he had swollen.
The word “Majesty” still felt a bit too embarrassing–it would really damage the image of the Grand Fate Ming King.
…
Wen Li’s support abilities were indeed at their peak. In the time it took to finish a meal, someone had already delivered the clothes.
Although they weren’t custom-made, each set was meticulously curated, clearly of substantial value.
After putting on the Tyrant’s new clothes, Fu Qian did not delay. He confirmed that Wen Li’s foundation was stable and that she could try to explore and make her mark in Shangjing.
Unfortunately, although she showed no objections, Wen Li was clearly puzzled about venturing out, so Fu Qian ultimately sighed and decided to venture out on her behalf for the time being.
…
There was no need to worry about destroying Miss Wen’s grand mansion here.
Moments later, Fu Qian stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sky.
Prism of Radiant Transformation?
The next moment, he silently recited a name and waited a few seconds.
No reaction, on any level.
Had they all hidden away because of that prolonged night?
After verifying a certain suspicion with an offending gesture, Fu Qian, satisfied, continued on his way.
Was this a bit rash?
He still had to ask someone to help investigate later. Could he keep avoiding mentioning that name?
He was a reasonable man. If simply reciting a name could get him struck down, he wouldn’t use it to set up those intelligence officers.
…
“Chief Yuan is busy and asked me to wait here for a moment?”
Fu Qian repeated the information brought by Xiao Mingyue, his face showing doubt.
“And she specifically arranged for you to watch over me?”
“How could that be… the Chief has been very busy recently. She just said it would only be a moment…”
After recent events, Friend Xiao Ming had clearly matured a lot.
And because of this, the scrutiny from Fu Qian brought her considerable psychological pressure, making her choose her words carefully.
“Are you sure? Since you’ve been her secretary, has she let herself stay busy for more than three days in a row? Even once?”
Unfortunately, Fu Qian was not appreciative of this careful response.
Joking aside, Shangjing might be bustling lately, but all the major events had already settled down. With her penchant for slacking off, it was normal to question whether she was even in the office.
In fact, before coming here, Fu Qian was mentally prepared for Xiao Ming’s confession about some marketplace.
“Um… maybe there are…”
As expected, Xiao Mingyue faltered under Fu Qian’s questioning, her answer lacking firmness.
“So she’s either here now or…”
Fortunately, Fu Qian did not make it harder for her but analyzed to himself.
“Especially arranging for me to wait somewhere else, not outside the office… Is she meeting with some visitor I shouldn’t see?”
Quickly, Fu Qian vaguely guessed a possibility.
“Don’t worry. I’m not one to stir up trouble. I’ll just wait here–”
Fu Qian’s words hadn’t finished when he suddenly froze, looking in a certain direction outside the door.
“What’s wrong?”
Just having relaxed, Xiao Ming was instantly tense by this action.
Unfortunately, she didn’t receive an answer; in the next moment, the top-level dangerous person in her eyes had vanished from the spot.
And when he reappeared, he had crossed space by inexplicable means, his arm passing through the wall as if it were tofu.
As he withdrew his hand, a gray silhouette struggled within.
“Where did this come from?”
Although she didn’t understand what was happening, Xiao Ming immediately realized it was a Transcendent Creation, and her expression dramatically changed.
Besides the man in front of her, who would dare to run wild in the Night Watchmen Base!
Her confusion was quickly resolved.
…
As the silhouette in Fu Qian’s hand dissipated like foam, the door was silently opened from the outside.
Looking up revealed a string of familiar faces–Yuan Shan, Grantham, Demigod Seraphina, and Brother Tyler, the genius who had succeeded in multiple business collaborations.
“Can you explain this?”
Facing Fu Qian, Chief Yuan sighed deeply.
However, it wasn’t he who was being addressed, but Seraphina next to him with a stiff expression.
As the highest-ranking among the three Bloodline Clan members present, she paradoxically looked the worst, almost as if she had lost her soul.
But no matter what, no one else could have spied using that thing except her.
The key question was why?
A demigod, behaving like this in the Night Watchmen Base–what difference was there from relieving oneself right here?
Chief Yuan’s doubt was clearly about this as well.
“I’m sorry…”
Amidst the puzzlement of the crowd, Seraphina finally spoke, her first act being to express her apology to Chief Yuan.
“I felt an ancient presence… couldn’t help thinking it might be related to the Ancestor, so I took a look…”
While speaking, she nearly always glanced at Fu Qian’s hand that had crushed the silhouette.
So that was it… Do the Bloodline Clan’s brains grow on their wings?
Since her intelligence had dropped to this level after being torn apart by her own hand last time?
Fu Qian responded with a look of disbelief.
Yuan Shan had met with the Gulad Clan, which he had already mostly guessed.
With everything settling down in the last few days, Yuan Shan probably wanted to fully settle matters with them.
Considering his own conduct throughout, Yuan Shan clearly wasn’t sure if an encounter would lead to any uncontrollable situations.
To put it plainly, he didn’t want to scare them and create unnecessary complications.
Despite his cooperation, it seemed he still managed to scare someone.
Realizing something was spying just now, the form he caught stirred his suspicions.
Turns out it was indeed Seraphina’s doing.
As for the anomaly she felt?
He himself was still suffering from special injuries received within the Ancient Reminiscence; naturally, some ancient traces lingered.
Normally, Seraphina should have been able to react, but since encountering the true face of the Ancestor, this lady had been greatly disturbed and hadn’t recovered yet.
“Let it go.”
Facing Seraphina’s apology, Yuan Shan could evidently understand her disturbance, and after a brief silence, implied that they could move past this matter.
Her magnanimity also relieved Grantham; the Gulad couldn’t endure any more setbacks.
“You all go back first, remember what I just said.”
And Yuan Shan had no desire to talk further with them, coldly signaling Xiao Ming to see the guests out.
It was only after the four left with varying expressions that his face instantly thawed, and he rather undignifiedly sat down, smiling at Fu Qian.
“You’ve been very good lately!”
