Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Unclean Ecstasy (Part 5)_1

It was indeed him.

Was he really so hateful to others?

Seeing Jia Yi’s reaction, Fu Qian felt a wave of sentiment.

Even wearing a mask and at such a distance, Jia Yi recognized him instantly.

And this was clearly different from the last time, where the principle was to calm things down.

After recognizing his Academy Instructor identity, Jia Yi chose to take the matter directly to the Night Watchman, clearly wanting to escalate the situation, to corner Fu Qian.

...Worthy of a leader, he truly mastered the art of darkness; what was that saying again—how formidable are those with schemes?

Of course, the current scenario called for a different expression—how formidable are those with schemes who are not afraid to die.

Lust damages the brain; truly, the saying does not deceive!

Facing this feigned composure in his eyes, the corners of Fu Qian’s mouth slowly lifted, and even through his mask, it was clear he was smiling.

“What exactly is going on here?”

By then, Lanaia had already taken her place beside him, watching Fu Qian with cold eyes amidst the scrutiny of the crowd.

That’s the difference between people!

Confronted with the question, Fu Qian felt another wave of emotion.

Although Lanaia’s expression was stern, it was clear she had come to help Fu Qian out, interrupting Hu Mingyi’s questions and directly asking Fu Qian to explain spoke volumes.

Though not a Transcendent, the people at the venue were undoubtedly cunning; even without lust clouding their brains, they were skilled at observing words and expressions.

Therefore, the stance taken by Lanaia was transparent to most of the audience.

The host of the event—his face was now as pale as chalk.

[Current mission updated: Find and kill the Ecstatic Servant.]

Taking all this in, Fu Qian was about to speak when the mission prompt finally sounded in his ear.

This mission…

Coming to understand the content of the mission, Fu Qian briefly froze for two seconds.

The next moment, he looked up to the sky, tears brimming in his eyes.

Where to go, who to kill, how many to kill.

Was he finally given a proper mission?

Perhaps the previous ordeals had been too tormenting, and he was now compensated?

Although the mission required finding the target first, and the title of the target sounded quite imposing, suggesting that the target might be powerful.

But it didn’t matter, none of that was important.

Fu Qian was in high spirits at that moment, smiling at Lanaia.

“It was truly self-defense!”

After reaffirming the key point, he once more recounted the events that had transpired.

“It seems it was indeed a misunderstanding.”

Lanaia listened seriously, not even glancing at anyone else, then turned towards Hu Mingyi.

“However, please rest assured, I will report back to the Academy and organize a hearing, and after clarification, the results shall certainly be submitted to the Night Watchman.”

“Alright.”

Facing Lanaia’s statements, Hu Mingyi had no objections and immediately agreed.

There had been this motive from the beginning when he received the message and promptly contacted Lanaia.

Now, it seemed fortunate that he had done so.

The person seated was too terrifying, completely beyond his ability to contend with.

Although Lanaia had taken the person away, this meant having the Academy’s endorsement.

He had a complete explanation for his return.

Even he had no intention of hearing out those who reported the incident.

While the Night Watchman is committed to maintaining order and preventing Transcendents from willfully harming ordinary people, to consider them identical in all aspects is merely a naïve fantasy of a child.

In truth, even in the world of ordinary people, with the addition of money, status, and power, where is the uniformity?

Confirming there was no obvious wrongdoing by the Transcendent, he wasn’t naive enough to let the group continue to debate whether the defense was excessive.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the entire venue, Fu Qian followed Lanaia and left the place of depravity.

From Lanaia’s appearance to her departure, the entire process took less than a minute.

Throughout, Fu Qian didn’t even remove his mask.

“Let’s go.”

When passing by the long-haired man, Fu Qian even casually greeted him.

The other’s body shuddered as if waking from a dream, and his emotions surged once again, his dao heart nearly lost its guard.

People indeed are different, and after today, he must have gained a deeper understanding of this phrase.

…

“It’s hard to find a person, and when you do, they cause trouble!”

Coming outside, the sky indeed was filled with a vast array of stars.

The Night Watchman really doesn’t have it easy, having to go out on night duty.

At this moment, Lanaia was staring at Fu Qian, looking quite displeased.

“Do you know how busy the Punishment Department is? I’ve looked for you several times, but you were always out of reach.”

“I stepped out for a bit, took some private work.”

Fu Qian casually took off his mask and spoke as if it were nothing.

“Private work?”

His answer obviously surprised Lanaia.

“But speaking of which—”

She looked Fu Qian up and down, her expression a mix of shock and suspicion.

“You seem a bit different.”

“An outing for training, one always makes some progress!”

Fu Qian said calmly.

Being a genuine Demigod, he now had a realm that was firmly above hers.

Under deliberate concealment, Lanaia at most might suspect something, but it’s highly unlikely she could confirm his true state.

“Alright then, but tell me, how did you end up in such a place?”

Lanaia was only slightly suspicious, and seeing that Fu Qian did not wish to elaborate further, she brought the topic back to the earlier issue.

“What I said was the truth, I entered unintentionally.”

Hmph!

Lanaia looked completely unconvinced.

“You know you’re lucky this time? It just happened to be Hu Mingyi who received the information; he’s quite familiar with me, sought me out first, and I was close by…”

“But it’s also lucky that you were restrained, or I would have had no choice but to hand you over to the Night Watchman.”

“So it was Jia Yi who reported me, wasn’t it?”

“It should be, you noticed too?”

Lanaia clearly didn’t have time to confirm with Hu Mingyi but had a good guess.

“There aren’t many who can identify you as an Academy Instructor at a glance.”

“But I warn you, it’s best not to take any retributive action. No matter what his motive was, he did not cross the line.”

Lanaia looked at Fu Qian with a serious face.

“Don’t worry, I’m not someone who holds on to petty grudges.”

Fu Qian wore a carefree demeanor, signaling her not to overthink it.

This was indeed spoken sincerely.

As someone who is reasonable, Fu Qian believed that from Jia Yi’s perspective, kicking someone when they’re down was completely justified.

After all, there was no friendship between them, only grudges.

“That’s good to hear. Also, did you hear what I said to Hu Mingyi? After you return, you know that there definitely will be a hearing organized, right?”

“I’m aware, it’s only fair and reasonable.”

…

Lanaia looked at Fu Qian with a helpless expression, having no way to deal with him.

But in the next moment, her expression shifted, and her eyes took on an ambiguous tone.

“I wouldn’t have guessed it, you’re actually interested in these frivolities.”

“Imagination is the source of joy, after all, I have a wide range of hobbies.”

Since such matters were hard to explain and Fu Qian never cared about his image,

a wide range of hobbies…

Upon hearing this, she subconsciously crossed her arms over her chest and slowly stepped back a distance.
