Chapter 2292: Chapter 2287: First Author

Just because there’s a question to ask, you make such a fuss?

For the reason Fu Qian provided, Nepheli clearly finds it hard to believe it’s true.

But even if you listen with a doubtful attitude, the absurd logic is enough to stir one’s anger.

Using all means to coerce someone just to help light a cigarette for you? Isn’t your resource investment too extravagant?

”What question...?”

However, despite the emotional intensity, Nepheli clearly knows there is no point in showing it to the person in front of her.

So after a brief calm, not only did she not question with the stance of a victim, she even followed Fu Qian’s words and asked.

And at the same time, the surrounding commotion completely fell silent.

Not only Luyi remained unmoving, even the youthful cries were dissipating.

”Lord Rom isn’t doing too well?”

Feeling the fading of this life sound, Fu Qian couldn’t help but sigh, showing concern for another old friend.

”...Not too well.”

This time, Nepheli hesitated for even longer, but finally nodded.

Just as expected, if he were well, who would dare impersonate him?

Superiors have always been keenly aware of concepts related to themselves; wouldn’t they fear a fake would turn real halfway through?

At that moment, Fu Qian thought silently.

No doubt, the blood rain that brought immense pressure earlier, Luyi, and even Lord Rom, in his view, seemed to have an air of atmosphere group suspicion.

This can even be regarded as evidence that made Fu Qian instantly confirm the guidance was successful.

The affair at the Lonely King’s Palace, no doubt Brother Patch turned into the final sparrow.

And under His arrangement, Rom plus the Goddess of Sin and Punishment and the Lonely King, quite a scene was set.

How long did it take for Lord Rom to actually have the energy to come and strike?

Don’t forget that before, He invested considerable resources many times, only for them all to end in bankruptcy.

Summing it up, in Fu Qian’s judgment, even if the Native Council sought Rom’s help, it’s doubtful he would even respond.

Not to mention, with Lady Nepheli’s insight, it’s unlikely she’d naively believe that such a pledge of allegiance would save her career in the Native Council.

So at the moment Rom appeared, the pressure increased drastically on the surface, but Fu Qian felt the immersion actually lessened.

Of course, Nepheli’s ”Executioner” disguise was quite diligent.

As for why such diligence?

”Have you ever considered, what if I didn’t understand the deep meaning of this work and acted on its surface meaning?”

Fu Qian gestured around.

...

”It wouldn’t cause me any real harm because my true self is not here.”

Reasonably speaking, Fu Qian pointed out a very likely situation.

However, Nepheli seemed completely unconcerned, responding blandly and confidently.

At the same time, she realized certain actions were now meaningless, as the painful marks on her face faded away.

Even the blood-flesh folds in her eye sockets began to flow together slowly.

”And for me, it would merely be a failure to verify some speculations.”

As the sound of metal clashing rang out, the chains that had previously penetrated her palm peeled away.

Standing up without any hindrance, her eyes focused on Fu Qian once more.

”Sounds reasonable, yet I’ve lost the opportunity to get answers.”

Although her appearance became more familiar, lacking that curiosity left a trace of regret; Fu Qian sighed lightly and nodded.

Earlier in the ark, she’d already admitted that the ”Dansi” on Ye Island was also herself.

So Lady Nepheli’s superb disguise skills had long been witnessed before.

In this scenario, the claim of ”my true self is not here,” Nepheli clearly had no concern about being questioned.

Of course, young people are still too young.

She didn’t realize that, to the Lord of Mad Fire in front of her, the true self not being here doesn’t always matter.

”So what exactly are your intentions? If the Night Watchman wants to deal with the council, there’s no need to find flimsy reasons, nor do I think they would be friendly to the Abandonment King.”

Fu Qian didn’t say anything discouraging, yet Nepheli was deeply touched, unable to refrain from expressing her doubts again.

...

”Rest assured, it’s purely a coincidence; there’s no tacit understanding with the Night Watchman in that matter, and my aim was already stated once before.”

Knowing why Nepheli specifically mentioned the Night Watchman, Fu Qian merely chuckled softly at that moment.

Clearly, the previous appearance with Su Gao in front of her was highly misleading.

After Nepheli returned, it wasn’t difficult to connect Boss Fang, Professor Fu, Human Demon Dansi together with the events and theorize them all as conspiracies.

For instance, the fall of the King of Ye Island, with herself and Su Gao present...

During Shangjing Chen Xing’s demigod plan, she was present...

Ariel returned defeated from investigating, also falling due to her and the Night Watchman’s cooperation... etc.

It even made her previously outlandish words to Ariel appear somewhat credible—Native Council and Night Watchman’s collaboration?

Really abandoning ideals, becoming the violent organization’s henchmen?

Plus, combining the latest addition to the Lonely King’s lineage, it prompts endless speculation.

The more you think, the less it makes sense.

”...Alright, I believe you, now you can ask your question.”

Though incomprehensible, the person involved seems to have no reason to continue lying about such matters.

After a moment of silence, Nepheli finally accepted the notion of ”seeking answers” and signaled to Fu Qian that he could ask whatever.

...

This is truly scholarly behavior, a product of the Academy cultivation.

Fu Qian certainly appreciated such forthrightness and did not hesitate.

”How much do you know about Shangjing Chen Xing’s demigod ascension plan? Were you involved in the design process?”

”...You just want to ask this?”

Though closely following current events and highly technical, at that moment, Nepheli evidently still was skeptical.

Her somewhat hesitant tone clearly showed she was unwilling to link this series of events to such a question.

”Just in passing, if there’s a confidentiality agreement, never mind.”

This obviously was not the core issue Fu Qian intended to ask; don’t forget, it was a project established only tonight while acting as Ariel was much earlier.

For a moment, he gestured honestly, indicating it was just a chance for discussion, and it was fine if she didn’t wish to answer.

”...Indeed, it was my design, but I was busy with other matters at the time, so Deng Feizhou executed it.”

The shifting worldview slightly easing, Nepheli paused briefly in silence and eventually accepted the topic.

Upon further speaking, she was entirely straightforward, outright expressing herself as the primary author.
