Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2671: Chapter 2666: Eight Malicious Women (42)

It seems there really isn’t any.

At that moment, the staff member indeed appeared to be reflecting on traffic regulations but ultimately gave up.

”But when you came earlier, it wasn’t like this. This was just inserted, right?”

However, he didn’t just let it go and quickly changed his approach.

”Are you trying to say that I didn’t look like I was dying earlier?”

Unfortunately, Fu Qian seemed unable to understand.

It’s really not that simple... it’s just a matter of dying sooner or later.

The staff member was choked once again and ultimately couldn’t say something like you looked very healthy back then.

”Then why are you doing this?”

Though he still didn’t give up.

”It’s simple, to emphasize that I’m dying, to make you realize this.”

Fu Qian responded fluently.

”So what if I realized?”

It’s actually related to me... The staff member looked like he was about to hold back.

”If you realize it, then you can understand why I want to go to the Sanctuary.”

...

Character setup is something that needs to be consistent.

Having mentioned going to the Sanctuary before, bringing up the reason with other topics now makes the whole matter seem more natural.

As for why you’d want to go to the Sanctuary if you’re about to die?

It’s related to faith. When a person is near death, isn’t it normal to have such pursuits?

Besides this, there’s even an explanation for euthanasia, where people about to die simply get lost in boundless pleasure or something.

”Sounds like it makes a lot of sense.”

It indeed had an effect, as the staff member for the first time agreed with Fu Qian’s explanation.

”So you’re escorting him?”

But he quickly abandoned Fu Qian and turned to Su Gao for confirmation.

”That’s right.”

Everything seemed to be as Professor Fu had predicted. Su Gao, for a moment, followed the instructions and nodded in affirmation.

”So that’s it...”

It seemed the staff member finally reached the decision stage and didn’t interact with the two anymore, just muttering to himself softly.

This process didn’t even last long—

”I’m sorry, I can’t let you through.”

...

There’s nothing more ebb and flow than this.

The situation was excellent, and communication was very harmonious.

Yet after some thought, the staff member directly refused the pass.

”How regretful is it?”

Even faced with such a turn of events, the two parties seemed to show little reaction.

Su Gao remained expressionless, and Professor Fu, still eager to meet his end, even maintained a smile, casually chatting.

”It seems I should indeed trust you... but unfortunately, for me, the reasoning still seems a bit insufficient.”

The staff member frowned, almost cautiously depicting his inner conflict.

”After all, riding the same vehicle, using locals to cover and sneak through has happened too frequently with your kind of combination lately.”

His gaze fell on Su Gao, clearly showing that he had no doubts about Su Gao’s identity, which made this combination excessively classic.

”Who said it’s us?”

However, as soon as the words fell, the person in the driver’s seat exaggeratedly questioned.

Glancing with surprise in Su Gao’s direction, Fu Qian seemed shocked that the staff member would think so.

”She’s worried about getting lost and brought me here, only I’m going over.”

Oh?

This statement was clearly unexpected, leaving the staff member momentarily dumbfounded.

”Really?”

It was apparent that he didn’t fully trust Professor Fu’s words and hesitated a moment before asking Su Gao.

”It’s true.”

Seemingly not expecting Fu Qian to actually plan on going alone, Su Gao looked over here and continued nodding in agreement.

...

That’s enough, going together would indeed be too strenuous.

Regarding Su Gao’s gaze, Fu Qian’s smile remained unchanged, indicating there was no need to worry.

After all the effort to bring a powerful bodyguard out of the Dark Holy Hall together, doing this is technically a huge waste.

After all, if he wanted to act alone, he wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble. Without Li Min helping to open the door, Su Gao could directly bring him out.

But that’s just how it looks on the surface — don’t forget a core issue that has remained unresolved all along — does Su Gao truly believe Professor Fu genuinely wants to go to the Sanctuary?

He maximized the use of all sorts of elements earlier, and in the end, only slightly tipped the scales in Miss Liushuang’s heart.

The remaining others, especially Su Gao who followed him out, fundamentally lacked resolution in her heart.

After all among so many special guests, she was one of the people who took Professor Fu’s words most to heart.

And though she hadn’t said much along the way, it was only a temporary postponement.

Once they actually pass the checkpoint, some inevitable harsh decisions would still face her.

For example, if I head toward the Sanctuary, would she stop me or not?

Some might say, with the private interaction of just two people, why would Professor Fu keep pretending, going along with what he says and does at that moment would suffice.

But don’t forget that people living in this Supernatural World inherently carry a sense of crisis from being watched continuously, how can we be sure that Professor Fu’s actions at this moment aren’t a performance for some invisible Superior Being?

There’s even a suspicion that a Superior Being, Lord Stomach, might really be present here.

So such assumptions were certainly something Su Gao would not dare to make.

Ultimately, after the checkpoint, it would become a painful decision ground for her.

Luckily for Fu Qian, he intended from the start to have Su Gao stop here.

Now he could even use this to create a bit of contrast, eventually becoming the final straw that broke the staff member’s resolve, greatly enhancing its value.

”Let her get out, you can go by yourself now.”

It turns out it seemed to have really worked.

After a longer silence than before, the staff member unexpectedly stepped out from the booth.

...

”Thank you for your hard work.”

Seeing the first traffic cone being moved, Fu Qian winked at Su Gao, signaling that she could rest now.

”Okay.”

And the previous instructions were still taking effect, with Su Gao still nodding in agreement, without saying a word more, nor attempting to forcefully tag along with such a dull plot.

Nice.

Fu Qian was naturally very satisfied with this reaction. It was evident enough that concern was one thing, but it wasn’t hard for Su Gao to realize that not going with him was optimal.

On one hand, it spared her the dilemma, and with the inability to discern truth from lies, continuing to follow would already have negative effects. Better to let Professor Fu carry out his acts undisturbed.

”Welcome.”

And just as Su Gao got out of the car and stood by the roadside, the road was cleared.

The staff member found it hard to say how much affection he had for Fu Qian, but seeing him in such a pitiful state, he gestured as if to say he could go now, and added a polite phrase.

”Thanks.”

Fu Qian casually responded, one hand on the steering wheel, pressing the accelerator.

To mention, if ahead really lies the Sea of Souls, would this count as after multiple failed attempts, Miss Su Gao finally successfully guides the way in this experiment?
