”Don’t worry, I won’t impose on you for long. The Night Watchers should catch Henrik soon enough.”

”And you don’t need to follow me around constantly. I just need someone I can turn to if things get dangerous.”

Having successfully secured her backup, Wen Li was clearly in high spirits. She beamed the entire way, speaking with absolute sincerity.

Of course, it would have shown even more sincerity if she had actually brought up his compensation.

Sadly, Wen Li had inherited the true spirit of a capitalist. She overflowed with gratitude but didn’t mention a single word about payment—she had completely forgotten about it.

He chalked it up to her being overjoyed.

She was noticeably more relaxed now, her chatter flowing far more freely than before.

He wondered how she would feel if she knew he was using her as bait.

Despite the young miss’s newfound liveliness, the driver stared straight ahead the entire time, driving with the strict, mechanical precision of a robot.

It made sense. Wen Li’s abilities allowed her to perceive emotions; if the driver dared to let his mind wander, she would immediately notice.He would have to be careful about that later, too.

No matter how frail she looked, she was now a genuine Mid-Tier Transcendent.

Through their conversation, Fu Qian confirmed that two months had passed since the breakthrough incident.

Clearly, just as with Su Gao, he was nothing more than an elusive, mysterious figure in their eyes.

...

The wealthy really did love buying property wherever they went.

About half an hour later, the car pulled up to an exquisite small manor.

While it couldn’t compare to the Wen Family’s grand estate, it had clearly cost a fortune.

This was Wen Li’s residence in Shangjing.

”The place is a bit cramped, so please don’t mind it.”

Wen Li giggled, offering a textbook humblebrag.

However, in a world dictated by absolute power, there was still some genuine sincerity in her apology.

Given the strength he had displayed previously, he would be considered a Mid-Tier Transcendent as well, so it wouldn’t be strange for him to have high standards for his living conditions.

In this world, supernatural power drastically amplified the rewards for a poor person’s mutation.

As soon as the two stepped out of the car, someone came out to greet them.

”Welcome back, Miss. A guest has been waiting for quite a while!”

Fu Qian glanced over and realized the man looked familiar.

If he remembered correctly, this was the Wen Family’s former butler.

They had sent him here directly to look after Wen Li?

It seemed that while Wen Xiuxian was investing heavily in his daughter’s development, he might also be harboring thoughts of shifting the family’s focus to Shangjing.

”A guest?”

Wen Li was clearly a bit confused and glanced back at Fu Qian.

”Mister Fang, would you like to go rest first?”

Not bad. Very tactful.

Wen Li was clearly very perceptive. Seeing that he hadn’t removed his mask, she addressed him purely by his current persona.

In response to such sensible behavior, Fu Qian naturally returned the favor.

”No need. I might as well start fulfilling my duties.”

The key to waiting by the stump for a hare was persistence.

If he didn’t want to come up empty-handed, he couldn’t afford to lose focus for even a second.

”I’ll have to trouble you, then.”

Clearly not expecting Fu Qian to be so dedicated to his job, Wen Li beamed and thanked him.

The two walked into the reception room, where someone was already waiting.

The man looked familiar.

After a moment’s thought, Fu Qian remembered who the man was—he was the Chen Family disciple who had smoothed things over for him at the banquet yesterday.

Wen Li had just mentioned him in the car. Chen Mingda, wasn’t it?

Chen Mingda had clearly been waiting for a while. Seeing Wen Li enter, he immediately stood up to greet her.

”I’m truly sorry about yesterday. I never expected an accident like that to happen, so I came to see if you were alright.”

”Thank you for your concern. I’m perfectly fine.”

Wen Li responded to his visit with a polite, graceful smile.

What followed was a round of business-like pleasantries that nearly put Fu Qian to sleep.

”And this is...?”

His polite greetings finished, Chen Mingda turned his gaze to Fu Qian with a questioning look.

”Fang Xun.”

”I had a minor incident at home, so I came over to borrow a place to stay from Wen Li.”

Fu Qian didn’t wait for Wen Li to answer, casually tossing out a fabricated excuse.

As someone waiting by the stump for a hare, he had to conceal his own information as much as possible.

”A pleasure to meet you!”

Chen Mingda’s expression didn’t show a hint of suspicion as he politely greeted Fu Qian.

It was clear that he moved with a peculiar, rhythmic grace. Even the subtle way he exerted physical force seemed different from an ordinary person.

Wen Li had mentioned that the Chen Family disciples specialized in mental-type techniques, and it certainly showed in his unique bearing.

Judging by the strength of his aura, however, Chen Mingda was only around Tier 7.

For someone around thirty years old, it wasn’t weak.

But for someone backed by a prominent clan, swimming in resources, and boosted by natural talent, it was decidedly mediocre.

He was even a bit weaker than Chen Mingfei.

That aside, Chen Mingda perfectly displayed the refined upbringing of a major clan disciple. He was polite and genteel in conversation, his every action brimming with elegance.

”Actually, there is another reason I came over today.”

Chen Mingda got to the point after the three of them had sat down and exchanged some brief small talk.

”Have you heard the news, Miss Wen? The Night Watchers Base was broken into last night.”

”Really?”

It was clear that Wen Li was genuinely shocked.

”Yes. When I first heard the news, I couldn’t quite believe my ears, either.”

Chen Mingda nodded.

”And it’s said that Yuan Shan, the Demigod in charge of the Night Watchers in Shangjing, was at the base at the time.

”Yet even then, they couldn’t detain the intruder. This mysterious figure is undoubtedly incredibly powerful.”

”Even with a Demigod leading them, they still couldn’t detain the intruder...”

Wen Li’s worldview was clearly shaken.

”Was it a High-Tier Transcendent from somewhere?”

”There aren’t that many High-Tier Transcendents out there. I can’t imagine which of them would do something like this. The main issue is that no one even knows what their goal was.”

”At first, there was only one madman loose out there, but now the situation has suddenly become incredibly complicated. You had better minimize your outings for the time being.”

”Thank you for the warning!”

Wen Li nodded with a solemn expression.

”Actually,”

Chen Mingda hesitated for a moment.

”Given that you are highly likely to be Henrik’s target, and now even the Night Watchers aren’t completely safe, have you considered moving to the manor for a while?”

Move to Houhai Manor?

Wen Li was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head in refusal.

”That won’t be necessary.”

”I’ll keep my outings to a minimum for now. I’m sure I’ll be perfectly fine.”

”Alright, then.”

Chen Mingda was noticeably disappointed, but he had the grace not to push the issue. After chatting for a little while longer, he said his goodbyes and headed home.

After seeing Chen Mingda out, Wen Li turned back to look at Fu Qian across the room.

For some reason, the exact moment she heard about someone breaking into the Practitioner Base, she had felt an inexplicable urge to look at Fu Qian.

But now, she quickly dismissed the strange thought.

Fu Qian was incredibly strong—that much she knew.

Ever since Fu Qian had used that bizarre method to help her break through, she had harbored an unreasonable level of confidence in this mysterious figure.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been the very first person she thought of when she was threatened.

But the title of Demigod? She still couldn’t associate it with the man standing before her.

It had only happened yesterday. Wasn’t the news spreading a little too fast?

At that moment, Fu Qian was inwardly wondering the exact same thing.

As a disciple of the Chen Clan, Chen Mingda would naturally be well-informed, but for him to know the details with such perfect clarity?

It was hard to believe Yuan Shan hadn’t leaked the information on purpose.
