The leader ultimately didn’t press for questioning despite the worries in her heart, even though she seed to have noticed Clara’s unusual behavior.
Fu Qian completely understood this.
When Clara left, it was likely that she didn’t reveal her true intentions, aning the leader didn’t know she had gone to the sa venue as him.
As a result, in the situation of engaging in such a high-risk action, Clara’s reaction was, unexpectedly, the strange one.
Adding to the fact that the two who left the group temporarily were similar in age and ended up appearing together in the cafe, the process inevitably led to speculative thoughts.
And the more this was the case, when custors were unwilling to elaborate, it beca increasingly impolite to delve into the root of the matter.
Eventually, in an atmosphere filled with camaraderie, the aroma of coffee grew even stronger, as the weary crowd replenished their energy, making the atmosphere gradually lively.
During this process, Fu Qian once more confird that Anke was indeed the na he was seeking, and the female leader’s na was "Ah Lian."
"Will we go together to the next stop?"
Ah Lian’s sense of responsibility showed quickly.
Seeing that the group gradually recovered after a short break, she was the first to seek confirmation from Fu Qian.
"Of course."
Although "he didn’t suffer any loss," Mr. Anke seed no longer inclined to act alone and agreed very readily.
"That’s good, or otherwise, the tickets I worked hard to get would be wasted. Their review is very strict, that can’t be resold."
Seeing Clara showing no disagreent either, Ah Lian looked greatly relieved, and she took out a stack of cards from her backpack to demonstrate.
...
Indeed very strict.
The second stop wasn’t too far away, but it’s certainly in a different direction compared to watching the program.
This Royal Garden ntioned by Ah Lian, although claiming to be the oldest architecture we’ve seen so far, still exudes majesty and solemnity.
Including the entrance checks.
Several key areas, such as this remodeled museum before us, are equipped with three staff mbers, obliged to thoroughly verify the identity of visitors before allowing entry.
While one of the staff mbers was slacking off, sitting there almost asleep, actually matched the deanor of this city.
At the sa ti, an elderly man in the team, who’s been engaging in eloquent conversations along the way, appeared with a hint of discreet nervousness.
Normal enough, knowing the reasons, Fu Qian, even politely, did not glance more than twice — the elderly booked as a regular visitor.
And this third person slacking off, although not much higher in ranking, exuded an aura strongly reminiscent of so violent Transcendent group.
Not for nothing was this an old royal place; Night Watchman did seem to emphasize, the Transcendent might enter, but judging from the appearance, would likely receive extra attention — while the elderly preferred not to be the center of attention.
Let it be said this team is quite intriguing.
Although the doorman, beneath sleepy lids, had sharp eyes, recognizing a High-tier Transcendent was far off. As identifications were confird smoothly, Fu Qian ensured to observe other teammates.
The elderly clearly had invested a lot of effort, masking all aspects well, as the doorman rely cast another glance at his face, not moving a seat at all.
In contrast, the couple in matching attire seed more suspicious.
Not only their flickering gaze but their overwhelming excitent felt a bit odd, unlike those admiring history.
Comparatively, diterranean Brother was the most composed, showing no interest in the verification process, eagerly peeking inside even before entering.
As for the mysterious Clara — doing what seed like the sa thing as he.
Indeed, she’d been silent since earlier, more focused on everyone’s reactions than admiring relics, reminiscent of the previous question "How’d you find the program?"
"Follow , I’ll give you a taste of the imperial experience."
In contrast, Ah Lian, who clearly didn’t observe so many details, showed appreciation rely for the complete attendance.
And upon entry, she promptly instructed the team to avoid mingling with others, mysteriously leading them to an inconspicuous corner.
...
"How do you feel? Isn’t the perception quite different?"
Shortly after, at the museum’s highest point, Ah Lian signaled those in front, boasting sowhat as she spoke.
"From here, you can overlook every part of this architectural complex, even the eastern half of Lan Fyla. Due to its special design, you can’t see if anyone is inside from below.
"Aside from the resident, others weren’t allowed to enter before, even the passage we took was specially designed, making sneaky checking nearly impossible."
After everyone responded and took a look, Ah Lian began to introduce beside them.
"One of the owners shares your na, Anke, does this give you a particularly imrsive feeling?"
Observing Fu Qian who was genuinely experiencing everything, she didn’t forget to provide a small tip.
"Oh?"
Fu Qian cooperatively showed interest.
"Anke Wenlan, said to be the kindest monarch of this ancient family... uh, at least not one to massacre half the noble city in anger."
Yet the information she continued with seed hardly complintary.
"Massacre half the city? Suddenly, I indeed seem able to grasp that feeling."
But Fu Qian still, sowhat flatteringly, nodded while his hands moved to the sides, gazing out through the dim windows overlooking the world.
What appeared as a joke wasn’t entirely unfounded.
Given the superb view from this location, Fu Qian, being adept at utilizing visual radar, surely verified he could, if wished, summon calamity at a whim and crush half of Lan Fyla.
This actually aligned with Ah Lian’s described scenario — not even hurried to deny such action.
"Why does this city’s layout look sowhat familiar?"
In the next mont, Fu Qian pointed out, gesturing towards the distant view.
Centered around this area, surprisingly unveiled a familiar structure.
...
"Inviolable, so what would you think is the origin of those blue eyes?"
Although the response was a bit overly invested, seeing the shared subject garnering interest, Ah Lian was secretly relieved.
She extended her hand at the ancient city, sketching a few lines.
"The Wenlan family, who initially built this mansion, were also the urban planners. In the restoration following a natural disaster...
"Only afterward did those unique amulets appear — why is one person missing?"
But midway through the introduction, she finally seed to notice sothing, quickly turning around.
The team painstakingly gathered, was missing the oldest mber.
