Chapter 1626: Chapter 1621: The Calamity of Dissolution
There’s a saying, “A wise man submits to circumstances.”
At a glance, it’s obvious that Brother Hao Ke is skilled both in literature and martial arts, fully embodying these qualities.
So, just one second after he struggled to respond, Fu Qian casually let go of him, without doubting his mont of enlightennt.
“According to what you said, this setup targets a specific individual?”
After finding a fortunate chair that wasn’t affected, Fu Qian surveyed the place he had just sat, and asked expressionlessly.
At this mont, it was already a hideous hole, surrounded by scattered shiny tallic fragnts, with even a chill emanating from the darkness.
The change just now was simple; Brother Hao Ke pretended to search for sothing on his body to attract attention, secretly opening a switch.
A pile of things, along with himself, was thrown into a trap that had been long prepared.
It has to be said that the trap was debugged excellently—not only deep and sturdy, but opening and closing were smooth as silk.
Even a Transcendent with slightly distracted attention might fall for it.
And once trapped inside, the chances of escaping barehanded are indeed lower.
Clearly, Hao Ke learned from past experiences during his last visit, realizing that rely high defenses in a house could be a double-edged sword. If the intruder was too powerful, it might easily beco a cage for oneself.
With this in place, even if there was a significant gap in strength between the enemy and , if their power were outrageous, just slightly restraining them might earn oneself a slim chance of survival.
Of course, it should be within a limited outrageous range.
“The cause is indeed… soone broke in before…”
Although Fu Qian controlled his strength perfectly just now, confident that he didn’t cause any injury, Brother Hao Ke’s voice still sounded excessively hoarse.
Unable to help it, those brief ten seconds truly exhibited what ups and downs in life an.
From the ecstasy of succeeding to the terror of seeing the opponent break through limits, and then to the realization of barely escaping death, the hormones in his body could barely react.
“However, he clearly still can’t compare to Your Excellency—”
“Grimshaw.”
Facing Hao Ke’s excessively respectful form of address, Fu Qian interrupted casually, introducing himself.
“… Lord Grimshaw.”
Unfortunately, after being stunned for a mont, the smile that Hao Ke squeezed out held even a trace of bitterness.
It was clear he wasn’t particularly keen on knowing the other person’s na.
…
“Sorry for being too clever just now and misunderstanding your goodwill. Please believe that there will be no similar incidents in the future, I swear by my sister’s na.”
Unfortunately, reality doesn’t change according to one’s will. After being forced to learn the intruder’s esteed na, Brother Hao Ke still staunchly expressed his stance.
“It doesn’t matter if it happens.”
To this, Fu Qian’s response once again demonstrated what it ant to be unflappable.
His tone was without fluctuations, as if the sches and traps just now didn’t affect his emotions in the slightest—even for future ones.
And his aning was clear: the traps can continue to demonstrate, but the outco will be the sa.
The absolute confidence exhibited in just a few words produced an exaggerated amount of pressure.
Brother Hao Ke’s breathing instantly beca even more delicate, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the left hand that had just gripped his neck.
Though it had long returned to normal, that dreamlike feeling and chill were undoubtedly unforgettable.
What has been happening in Xi Yuan lately?
“Regarding the question Your Excellency ntioned just now… honestly, I really don’t have any evidence.”
Despite his skepticism of life, Hao Ke clearly knew he needed to continue showing sincerity and imdiately returned to the topic he ntioned before activating the trap.
“Even during this ti, in the circles I’ve been involved with, everything has been quite peaceful, and nothing special has happened… But the more it’s like this, the more I feel uneasy, as if sothing is brewing.”
Of course, it was clear that this newly given answer was visibly weak and could almost be sumd up in one sentence: I just feel sothing’s not right.
This also explains from another angle why he chose to take action just now, clearly demonstrating that Hao Ke himself wasn’t confident this answer would satisfy anyone.
“Your feeling is correct, sothing indeed is amiss.”
However, it was a pity that he still lacked sufficient understanding of how approachable Fu Qian was.
Faced with a heap of statents under the subject of “I”, Fu Qian listened very patiently and even nodded genuinely.
“The shadows have already arrived in Xi Yuan.”
Ah—
Apparently, this unexpected support once again caused a hormonal imbalance in Brother Hao Ke.
Surprise, relief, fear… at that mont, his mighty and rugged face displayed a harmonious coexistence of multiple emotions.
Given Lord Grimshaw’s series of performances, any casual words at this mont were undoubtedly highly credible.
A certain shadow that lay within his heart for a long ti was actually recognized by such an existence. Hao Ke almost felt emotionally moved as if an injustice had been righted.
But after the emotional surge ca sothing else.
The shadows have already arrived?
“Shouldn’t it be best to leave here quickly—”
He didn’t even wait for Fu Qian to answer before Hao Ke subconsciously halted his own question.
Seeing the other person squint slightly and still gaze emotionlessly, he felt a chill down his spine but also felt slightly relieved, silently cursing himself for his clouded judgnt.
A mysterious figure never seen before in Xi Yuan, knowing there were situations here, and still specifically coming over, must have strong intentions behind the scenes without needing much thought.
And being singled out himself, how could he naively hope to simply walk away?
He should have left even earlier… indeed, one must trust their own instincts!
“So what does Your Excellency need to do? Please feel free to say.”
Regrets wouldn’t help, so Hao Ke forced himself to do ntal preparation and instantly offered himself, willing to serve dutifully.
…
Very good, worthy of being an elite chosen by .
Fu Qian was naturally very pleased with Hao Ke’s display of enthusiasm.
The will to survive is always a virtue that must be valued.
Even on his way here, Fu Qian had already assessed various elites in Xi Yuan City, and Brother Hao Ke, with his outstanding traits, was clearly included.
As for whether this would reveal his identity?
Fu Qian had no such concerns at all.
The more perceptive the person, the less likely they are to believe Grimshaw and the forr expert are the sa person.
Even if the sa lines were used, even if he outrightly revealed his identity, the audience’s first reaction would possibly be thinking this cold power wielder held a grudge against Expert Fu and could be exploited.
As for why he ca to et this elite in the first place?
It’s straightforward; Xi Yuan indeed was quite peaceful as he said.
On his way here, Fu Qian had already gazed at a certain crater that had never erupted before—nothing unusual occurred.
After the last Evil On was eradicated, the tree that had had so mobility in human dreams seed to have completely vanished.
