Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2741: Chapter 2736: Passionate Volunteers

Everything can be said, what can’t be said?

The conversation between the twin prodigies of Shangjing was so honest that Fu Qian admitted he was also deeply touched and followed suit effortlessly.

”Fu Qian... Why have I never heard of him?”

Unfortunately, honesty is often misunderstood.

Under the continuous bombardment of explosive information, Tyler, still in high spirits, couldn’t help but speak first.

And the first thing out of his mouth was doubt.

”Do you mean to say a divine being spends every day cooped up in a bookstore, and the Night Watchman not only ignores it but is even closely connected with him?”

Before Fu Qian could respond, Jiang En refused to fall behind and promptly followed up.

And as the more brainy one among the twin prodigies, every word cut to the core, full of questioning force.

The shadow of the Abandonment King looming over Shangjing is one thing, but the Abandonment King personally casting a shadow over Shangjing?

That just seems absurd no matter how you look at it.

Even if you’re willing to imagine yourself as the protagonist of the world, a being who can walk the world directly, scheming against oneself would still be overestimating oneself.

The two young men were clearly not narcissistic to such an extent.

Not to mention such a character even seems to have a good relationship with the Night Watchman.

Not only does the Shangjing Chief interact closely with him, but also doesn’t shy away from exposing this point by appearing at the party together; it just doesn’t add up no matter how one thinks about it.

For Fu Qian, he greatly appreciated Jiang En’s questioning; it even showed that this person had indeed emerged from a low point.

Although he has officially severed ties with his original family, without even needing confirmation, he decisively knew which bookstore he referred to, proving that Jiang En’s information channels are gradually recovering.

And the last time they met Gan Baobao at that party, the performance of Chief Yuan and himself was not surprisingly spread throughout the high circles of Shangjing.

Unfortunately, limited by their framework, they didn’t know that for some people, being Transcendent isn’t everything; navigating the commercial sea of ups and downs is likewise a grand ambition.

”Right, that’s exactly what I’m saying, he’s even a professor at the Academy.”

With such thoughts, Fu Qian continued to speak shockingly without pause.

Disagreement didn’t matter; speaking up was originally to correct the plot direction and remind both of them of the main points they should focus on, so just throw bombs as needed.

Moreover, both were already quite cooperative, truly questioning the matter instead of targeting the person no matter the doubts.

Their attention remained on whether the Abandonment King is called up by Fu Qian, without ever focusing on who said these words and with what intentions.

...

”The Academy... No wonder this name sounds so familiar, but you seem to have taken it too far.”

Unfortunately, no one knew of Fu Qian’s admiration because, after another bombshell of information stunned them for two seconds, Tyler suddenly remembered something.

”A newly promoted demigod with a mysterious identity is indeed a prime target for conspiracy theories, but a Superior Being going to play games with those at the Academy? The situation just keeps getting more ridiculous.”

And his following statement further proved Fu Qian’s previous assumption; the emergence of a new demigod in a public institution is almost never confidential.

For a force like the Gulad Family, it would probably appear in the family’s ”Daily Morning News” within a few days.

And Tyler proved that even he remained knowledgeable about it.

But the previous question remains, the limitation in perspective, causing them to not grasp the truth even when it’s right in front of them—

”Is there some special collaboration between the two? The Night Watchman being so lenient toward him because of that identity with the Academy?”

In contrast, Jiang En, due to a temporary information blackout and having encountered several abnormal personalities, didn’t rush to refute, silently searching for the logic within.

Even though his guesses were both right and wrong, Fu Qian didn’t correct him.

”Fool, a Night Watchman cooperating with such a character? Are you suggesting that the recent turmoil in Shangjing was a plan by the Night Watchman colluding with the Abandonment King?”

The reason was simple; Tyler, without needing a reminder, picked up the conversation, sarcastically countering.

Even in the fateful intertwinement, the firepower wasn’t low, making Jiang En seem almost as if there was something wrong with his head through a series of counter-questions.

”You’re the fool. Didn’t you hear I mentioned the identity with the Academy? What if the Night Watchman only knows part of it and is also being used?”

Jiang En, being no easy defeat, immediately snapped back, implying Tyler’s brain was just for show.

...

Frankly, Jiang En’s analysis did come somewhat close to the truth.

And with everyone being honest, there was no situation of sophistry even among archrivals.

At that moment, Tyler did not utter a word, clearly lost in thought.

Though indeed a bit straightforward, in Fu Qian’s view, he probably wasn’t so easily persuaded.

The reason for his performance was very likely related to the previously mentioned, more informed Gulad Family’s information.

For example, perhaps Jiang En didn’t know, but Tyler definitely was aware that during the capture of the Greedy Worm, the Night Watchman’s attitude was indeed somewhat ambiguous.

Doesn’t this match up again?

”But this only proves the possibility exists; until it is truly verified, you still cannot shake off suspicion.”

Sure enough, Tyler’s attitude shifted quickly, and although his tone was still impolite, he had already classified it as an item to be verified.

”I know, to you, I should always remain suspect.”

Jiang En still didn’t accept it, even sneering sarcastically.

”Isn’t it easy to verify? If that’s His real name, bringing it up should elicit a quicker response than calling the Abandonment King.”

...

This is just right, what does it mean to govern with ease?

Watching the twin prodigies of Shangjing unwilling to yield to each other, and himself instantly ignored, Fu Qian not only felt no dissatisfaction but was even quite pleased with the development.

The current core is the research on the essence of SAN Points, and he has welcomed two very enthusiastic volunteers.

Not only are they young and energetic, but the relationship between them can even foster a mutually motivating, unyielding atmosphere for self-improvement.

How to make good use of this point requires careful experimental design.

But carefully designed plans aren’t necessarily complicated in execution, as evident in the current scenario.

Fu Qian’s strategy was actually quite simple, to step in at the opportune moment, guiding the topic to the real identity of the Abandonment King.

For this majorly involved issue, both not only have their stances but also personal stakes, and are rivals.

With a bit of guidance, it’s enough to spark disputes and disagreements between them.

Jiang En, never to be outdone, suggested a special verification method, saying that Tyler could attempt to directly pray to ”Fu Qian” for a response— exactly what he wanted to know.

As a party involved, not only did Fu Qian agree, but he also snapped his fingers, instantly causing Tyler’s figure to vanish on the spot.
