Facing an Ancient God for a Year

A fleeting world, but a momentary dream.

Go for it, magical girl, believe in your Kaleidoscope, it can make the world feel the cruelty of this enchanting universe.

Fu Qian watched Wen Li, who was serious-faced, without any awareness of poisoning a pure soul.

As a Fifth Phase Transcendent, her self-preservation skills really were lacking.

Even with her increased strength and speed, probably all she could do was flail around with some clumsy punches.

Having skills similar to Psychic Blast wouldn’t be a bad thing for her.

“Mr. Fang,”

Wen Li suddenly thought of something after her excitement and carefully lowered her voice.

“I went to see Chief Yuan a few days ago.”

“After she listened seriously, she told me to go back and wait for news, and instructed me to try not to go out, she even seemed to have specially arranged for her secretary to investigate.”

“Although she concealed it well, I could feel Chief Yuan’s mood turn solemn.”

Wen Li furrowed her brows.

“Is something bad going to happen?”

This girl was quite clever; she knew she was deliberately sent to report to Yuan Shan and she described the situation in detail.

Fu Qian responded.

“Indeed, it’s possible, so it’s best you follow Chief Yuan’s advice. Have you encountered that ‘Unperturbed’ again since then?”

“No.”

Wen Li shook her head with an embarrassed smile.

“Since coming back from Chief Yuan’s, I haven’t gone out.”

“I’m very timid now!”

“Wise to follow good advice, a teachable child indeed.”

Fu Qian praised her and empathized with Wen Li’s reaction.

The events she had encountered recently were not few, and a little PTSD was normal.

Fortunately, upon observation, there was nothing obviously wrong with her for the moment.

During the previous contact, Ariel had probably only intended to leak the news about the investigation of Deng Feizhou and hadn’t been in a hurry to take action.

“Speaking of which, did you come this time for data on the Kawasaki Family? I have almost finished organizing it, do you want to see it now?”

Quite efficient, he had thought it would take a little longer.

Fu Qian nodded in satisfaction.

“Yes.”

“Please follow me then.”

Wen Li immediately stood up and led Fu Qian upstairs.

“Did you specially change this?”

Before leaving, Fu Qian pointed to the chair in the living room.

Yes.

The latter admitted a bit embarrassedly.

“I have been practicing constantly before, and then I found out that the more relaxed the target, the harder it is to resist emotional projection, so I remodeled as much as possible.”

I knew it!

Fu Qian didn’t say anything else and followed Wen Li all the way upstairs to what must have been her study.

Wen Li then took a document from the cabinet and handed it over.

Very detailed.

Fu Qian flipped through it and found that Wen Li had indeed put in a lot of effort; the content in various aspects was very thorough, even including photographs of the main characters.

“I didn’t go out these past two days, so some of the data was collected with the help of my father.”

Wen Li explained from the side.

“Coincidentally, my father had some business dealings with the current Kawasaki Family, so he contacted them as much as possible to gather some data.”

She flipped to a certain part of the record.

“The part you emphasized before, over ten years ago the Kawasaki Family was far more powerful than now, and their decline indeed had something to do with the Night Watchman. It’s just that the specifics are top secret and completely untraceable.”

“According to what the Kawasaki family is saying now, it seems that the cause was the use of Transcendent powers to harm ordinary people,”

“Such a serious violation of the Night Watchman’s taboos led to their nearly complete capture from top to bottom, and in the end, a distant relative took over the business, which is the current Kawasaki family…”

This was more or less in line with what had been gleaned previously, and it was largely confirmed that Su Gao later found the Night Watchman, leading to the entire matter being exposed.

Fu Qian flipped through the documents in his hands, eventually fixing his gaze on a photograph.

This man looks somewhat familiar!

The man in the photo was in his fifties or sixties, and bore a strong resemblance to Miyamoto, who had been sliced up by Mr. Luo.

An illegitimate child?

Fu Qian continued to flip through but found no photos resembling Miyamoto.

It’s not surprising, though, giving such a dirty job to a secretive yet reliable insider is indeed most fitting.

This would make sense.

The Kawasaki family, in pursuit of the Puppet Fragment, kept people confined in the Rotten Forest in a manner akin to farming, and carried out regular harvesting – precisely what Miyamoto was doing at the time.

“Right, my father also mentioned something to me,”

Wen Li suddenly remembered something.

“He mentioned that the reason for working with the Kawasaki family was because Uncle Deng initially had business dealings with them.

After the disaster, the new Kawasaki family was refused cooperation by Uncle Deng, and only then did they turn to my father.”

Deng Feizhou had business interactions with the Kawasaki family?

Hearing this, Fu Qian’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, according to my father, Uncle Deng was very closely associated with the old Kawasaki Family.”

So that’s how it was.

For a moment, Fu Qian seemed to piece some things together.

Mr. Luo was certainly skilled, but with such nefarious actions, even with substantial profits, the Kawasaki family wouldn’t easily trust a stranger.

However, if the introduction came from a trusted insider, it would undoubtedly be much easier to accept.

After the exposure, Deng Feizhou could very well perform some special cleanup work to keep both him and Mr. Luo out of the investigation.

So it’s the Native Council again?

Mr. Luo’s charlatan-like behavior indeed fits their style.

And recent developments with Ariel, the organization seems to have been silently growing, accumulating considerable strength.

Hopefully, they’ve also accumulated quite a few distinct traits.

Fu Qian hadn’t forgotten the original purpose of seeking out the organization behind Mr. Luo.

“You’ve worked hard; the information is very valuable.”

As he pondered, Fu Qian quickly finished reviewing the documents.

“So will you be staying in Shangjing during this time? If I discover any danger, can I ask for your help again?”

Seeing that she had truly been of help, Wen Li was first overjoyed, then, thinking of something, she cautiously asked with a blink of her eyes.

She was a bit frightened by Fu Qian’s earlier words.

“Of course, in fact, it can be done right now,”

Unexpectedly, Fu Qian stretched lazily but agreed very bluntly.

“Is my last room still available?”

…

“It is!”

Wen Li hesitated for a moment before her voice sounded as though she had won the lottery, full of excitement and a sense of security.

“I’ll have someone clean it up again right away.”

As Wen Li left excitedly to call someone, Fu Qian remained silent.

It wasn’t that he had suddenly found a conscience.

If false, make it true; if true, make it false.

He had been in close contact with Wen Li, and Yuan Shan was clearly very aware of this.

And after the recent incident, it was only natural for him to approach Wen Li for information.

If he deliberately distanced himself from Wen Li at this point, it might invite suspicion that he had something to hide or that it was under his instruction that Wen Li had sought the Night Watchman to report the situation.

Chief Yuan already had enough headaches; best to help her focus a bit more!
