Chapter 1193: Chapter 1191: Busting and Sophistry

Thump thump!

Having returned to Yuan Shan’s luxury apartment, the sky outside was already bright.

The first thing Fu Qian did was to glance at himself, then walked to the side and put on the bathrobe he had taken off earlier.

And even before he had finished tying the belt, there was already a knock on the door.

“Fang Xun?”

At the same time, Chief Yuan’s somewhat probing voice came through.

“Here.”

Fu Qian responded quite naturally.

In fact, the moment he returned, he noticed Chief Yuan’s hesitant footsteps outside.

She had returned earlier than expected, and seemed to realize that the person in the guest room was gone.

Deciding not to recuperate on the Half-step Moon any longer was indeed the right choice.

Otherwise, had he returned any later and run into Chief Yuan checking the room while completely nude would have been detrimental to his reputation.

“… Are you alright?”

It was apparent that Fu Qian’s response had startled Chief Yuan.

The specific manifestation was her hand on the doorknob, stopping somewhat unexpectedly.

She should have initially thought the room was empty; asking before entering was merely a polite formality.

Of course, the reason for such a misunderstanding includes not only the fact that Fu Qian was indeed absent at first but also another factor.

As Fu Qian put on the bathrobe, he immediately used Blood Conquest to hide his presence once again.

It wasn’t until Yuan Shan knocked and called out that he dispelled the effect and returned, successfully creating an elusive presence.

To be honest, the current consumption of Blood Conquest was somewhat taxing, but fortunately, the effect hadn’t let him down.

…

“What could possibly be wrong with me?”

Facing the shocked Yuan Shan, Fu Qian asked back through the door with some confusion.

“Just now… I felt like there was no one in your room, so I asked to check.”

Chief Yuan hesitated for a moment but chose to be honest.

It was evident that she was somewhat perplexed.

“Oh, I had just taken a shower.”

Fu Qian blurted out casually.

“Perhaps, after washing away all vanities and returning to my true self, in a state of no attachment, I inadvertently touched upon the state of selflessness.”

…

Click!

Without waiting for a response from outside, Fu Qian directly opened the door.

As expected, Chief Yuan was clenching her fist, looking like she was about to break the door any second now.

The nonsense he had just sprouted clearly did not convince her.

Of course, as she frowned and looked over, her anger instantly turned to shock.

“You, you… what’s going on?”

Chief Yuan, who wouldn’t flinch even in the face of a Divine Envoy, suddenly stammered when she spoke.

No one could blame her for this reaction; after all, Fu Qian was barely maintaining a humanoid form at the moment.

Anyone returning home to see such a sight would be greatly impacted.

“What’s wrong?”

Fu Qian still sounded innocent, even looking down at himself.

“Wearing a bathrobe after a shower is pretty normal, right? After all, I didn’t expect you to return so soon.”

… Seriously? Is the bathrobe really the issue? Have you just disassembled and washed yourself piece by piece?

Seemingly revitalized by his words, Yuan Shan took a deep breath.

She obviously did not believe such nonsense. The next moment, her gaze turned serious, scanning over Fu Qian’s stitched-together body, and it seemed she thought of something.

“Did you just… knock on that lantern of yours again?”

She had no other explanation besides this for how he could end up looking like this.

Whether the appearance or the life force emanating from him, it was clearly greatly damaged, and it wasn’t a prank to scare people.

Even as she questioned, her eyes unconsciously started searching behind Fu Qian.

“Egg?”

The next moment she did not find any trace of the lantern, but noticed something that had increased in quantity.

The acquisition that Fu Qian had just made was placed on the balcony, basking in the sun.

And Yuan Shan immediately realized the transcendent nature of that thing.

“How could that be possible?”

Fu Qian firmly denied her earlier concerns and walked over to pick up the egg.

“If I really knocked the lantern, would it be this tidy here?”

That’s true…

Yuan Shan was instantly persuaded.

If it was really the projection of an ancient deity, it shouldn’t merely leave traces on the person involved.

Moreover, even if this person is unreliable, it’s unlikely that he would do such a thing in an area dense with people.

“So how exactly did you manage this?”

She couldn’t help but ask at that moment.

“Because of it.”

Fu Qian turned the egg in a different direction, with the broken part facing Yuan Shan.

“When I took this thing out, the situation got a bit out of control.”

Is that so…

From this angle, Yuan Shan naturally saw the metallic liquid and was even more astonished.

“This thing has a very special nature, where did you get it from?”

Chief Yuan really seemed to be in the dark.

Fu Qian let out a silent sigh as he took in this reaction.

The way she reacted, it was virtually certain that the possibility of his crime being discovered and her rushing over to capture him was ruled out.

“What do you think?”

The next moment, Fu Qian made a gesture of grabbing from the Void.

“The place where you put the lantern?”

Yuan Shan instantly recalled last night’s conversation and sought explanations within it.

“So it actually connected to a dangerous location in an instant? This time the situation was unstable, and you experienced backlash?”

Dangerous location…

This explanation made Fu Qian nod slightly.

“You could indeed say that.”

“…I’ve always said, travelling through space in this world isn’t reliable.”

Yuan Shan’s expression turned solemn, seemingly penetrating the whole thought process.

“Of course, I know that even if it turned out like this, you most likely won’t learn your lesson, but what did you try to achieve by taking this thing out?”

It was clear she had not overlooked this fundamental question of logic.

“To tell you the truth, I didn’t expect to take out something like this either.”

Fu Qian’s response was very honest.

Was it really a loss of control…?

Confirming her thoughts once again and considering that, aside from self-harm, the other did not cause any damage, Yuan Shan did not persist in questioning.

“Although this thing is still relatively stable, it obviously still influences the external world, you’d better return it as soon as possible.”

“I will do it in a little while, but remember to keep it a secret for me, okay?”

Fu Qian touched his face, confirming that the tens of muscles needed for a smile had all grown back, and manipulated them into a kind and harmonious expression.

“Don’t worry, I won’t even tell the teacher.”

Yuan Shan glanced at him and agreed very straightforwardly.

Chief Yuan is indeed a person of principle.

Seeing this, Fu Qian praised him, and this should be the recompense for their cooperative investigation.

With Old Master Henry’s acknowledgment of his innocence, his role as the strategist was clearly trusted even more, and Chief Yuan did not mind providing additional protection.

Of course, even if Yuan Shan were to spread this news, it would still be acceptable to him.

If the Night Watchman really suspects him to be related to the disturbance in Blood Lake, they would probably seek an expert who knows the details of Blood Lake, providing a good opportunity for exchange.

At worst, it would just be less harmonious.

When he made the request earlier, he was prepared for both possibilities, but alas, Chief Yuan was too principled.
