Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2633: Chapter 2628: 8 Wicked Women (Part 4)

So is it not about overcoming difficulties, but rather many hearts united as one?

The Sanctuary is such a popular place, does everyone who hitches a ride have the same destination?

With the task requirements arriving late, for a moment Fu Qian seemed to see the legendary internet-famous check-in spot.

Yuan Shan can still be understood as doing something for money, while Wen Li made it clear that she was taking him to the Sanctuary for a trial.

As for Su Gao, although she did not even provide a reason, her words carried persuasive power, making it hard to suspect her of lying.

In short, this vehicle, which was supposed to be a cage, suddenly became a filled hitchhike ride.

And what he needed to do changed from trying to escape to going with the flow.

After all, with a driver, bodyguards, and people to divert attention, what could be more ideal?

”You look unfamiliar.”

You see, even without help, everyone is already actively seeking topics to converse about.

Predictably, the first to speak was Wen Li, who had quite the demeanor of a host.

Though she hadn’t interacted much with Su Gao in real life, having only met during the academy days, in the current situation, this unfamiliarity seemed even more extreme.

As she spoke first, she scrutinized Su Gao from top to bottom, appearing to know nothing about this passenger.

”Please don’t misunderstand, I just feel that if I had seen a face like this before, I certainly wouldn’t forget it.”

Meanwhile, the habit of speaking pleasantly hadn’t changed a bit, even when expressing doubt she didn’t forget to compliment first.

”Just call me Su Gao; I don’t know your name either.”

Unfortunately, Su Gao, sitting in the front passenger seat, neither kept others at a distance nor showed any delight from the affirmation; he simply introduced himself casually.

...

You’re aware of what you don’t know? And still got in the car?

Miss Wen had impeccable expression control, but at that moment, Fu Qian seemed to feel a stirring voice from the depths of his heart.

In this regard, regardless of the specific narrative of those inside, Su Gao clearly maintained certain core qualities of his own.

No matter how absurd the situation, he always acted calmly and naturally, making it hard for others to instinctively refuse.

”Wen Li.”

And probably unwilling to build up the other’s momentum too much, Wen Li neither avoided self-introduction nor spoke much, coldly blurting out her name.

”Then I know you.”

Su Gao’s reaction was surprisingly flattered, almost immediately nodding his head, showing respect for Wen Li’s reputation.

”In Shangjing, overpowering both Jiang En and Tyler, the young genius who has reached the pinnacle for many years.”

Moreover, he even took the initiative to explain more details, though the content was...

Even knowing about Nan Jiang’en and Beitai Le’er? Are these lines reversed?

The lines Su Gao provided were clearly meant to be spoken by Wen Li, leaving Fu Qian to feel the weight of Shangjing Martial Arts.

”Not just the young, the domain related to emotions involves numerous taboos, and very few can go far in it... but once touching divinity, it’s said to see the path far clearer than through normal means.

Amidst amazement, the driver interjected, transforming into a praise party.

Seeing the path clearer than normal means? That’s indeed a new knowledge point.

Though considering the low real attribute of the scene before them, it’s hard to tell how credible it is.

The content she revealed clearly complimented Wen Li’s talent and future greatly, which Fu Qian also found quite intriguing.

”Overall, I’m surprised that such a genius would choose not to hone their skills, but instead waste energy on this kind of thing.”

Yuan Shan’s words of praise weren’t even finished yet, directly labeling Wen Li’s actions as slacking.

”Just because of good luck, that’s all.”

Luckily, the concerned party remained calm, maintaining the core of her self-awareness, which was the attribute of a lady of luck.

Compared to the achievements, the effort put in truly isn’t much to speak of.

As for why she had the interest to come out and catch people, she clearly wasn’t prepared to explain further, firmly redirecting the topic back onto Su Gao.

”Of course, Mr. Su Gao is also very lucky.”

...

Is she referring to how he happened to hitch a ride? Although Miss Wen doesn’t love exploring the outside world, she reacts quite shrewdly when situations arise.

At that moment, the air was a bit silent, yet Fu Qian easily understood the meaning behind Wen Li’s words.

Su Gao’s strength was undoubtedly formidable; the two Transcendents beside him likely felt this more deeply than he did at that moment.

Yet Wen Li clearly wasn’t implying that Su Gao, like her, achieved his accomplishments purely from luck.

Just mentioning unfamiliarity, making such a comment here lacks conviction, so this phrase was more straightforward in its literal meaning.

Even though until now he didn’t know what crime he had committed, Wen Li’s stance was clearly very serious, with the obvious handcuffs being an undeniable sign.

Su Gao, regardless of his appearance or lines, could be considered quite peculiar; remaining silent to probe seemed abnormal.

”Indeed, it’s nice here, not many people around.”

As it turns out, Su Gao wasn’t someone to deal with lightly either, directly nodding and indicating the outside.

This was certainly true, even helping lift Fu Qian’s doubts.

But from earlier, he wondered if these people might not notice the oddities around them?

It turns out they could see it, but perhaps there was some special explanation making them think such a scene wasn’t strange.

Su Gao’s words certainly weren’t ignoring Wen Li’s true intention, quite the opposite, conveying ”understanding without showing it” clearly, letting the other consider whether to ask further.

But like mentioned before, Su Gao always maintained that special persuasive power; even with such a firm stance, his tone remained natural and casual, making people instinctively first think there was cause rather than deliberate targeting.

”But of course, even if there were people, they wouldn’t have a driver like me.”

In the increasingly subtle atmosphere, the veteran driver Yuan Shan took the initiative to speak again.

And her first line was self-praising, clearly very confident in her driving skills.

”Though if it’s about luck, I believe Miss Su here wouldn’t match up to yours.”

And in the next moment, it was as if a judge, providing the final judgment on Wen Li’s earlier statement.

”...It sounds like you know each other?”

Although she was the winner, Wen Li didn’t seem happy, instead showing vigilance towards any possible underlying implication.

”Not really, I’m just well-informed.”

Yuan Shan undoubtedly looked the most relaxed, slightly waving her hands, adopting the tone of a worldly wise informant.

”Not sure why you suddenly took an interest in such matters, but it’s clear you don’t usually do similar things, otherwise you’d hardly not know about her.

”Your achievements today might be out of luck, but the one beside me is bathed in many drops of blood.”
