Chapter 884: 882 Chapter: Rotten Flesh (Three) Chapter 884: 882 Chapter: Rotten Flesh (Three) “I must say, Yuan Shan truly brought continuous surprises today.”
“Not only did she unexpectedly have information on Nepheli, but she even had so knowledge about the very person I was after for the mission?”
“I was thinking about finding so excuse to have the Night Watchman help conduct a dragnet-type screening.”
“Moreover, you have to know, in a place as vast as Shangjing, even if the scope is limited to the Transcendents, the chance of having identical nas is not nonexistent.”
“And for soone to be rembered by Chief Yuan, they must certainly have so extraordinary qualities, and the likelihood of them being my target is clearly much greater.”
“Oh? Who is it?”
Fu Qian didn’t stand on ceremony and naturally followed up with a question.
“I’ve only heard of them, never interacted with them.”
Yuan Shan shook her head while looking at Fu Qian, her expression even more peculiar than when he was inquiring about Nepheli.
“Actually, if you had co to Shangjing a few years earlier, you probably would have heard his na.”
“Although the Jiang Family isn’t prominent, they still have so heritage. But in the generation of Jiang En, they finally had this young genius who attracted much attention, an outstanding figure among his peers…”
Yuan Shan continued speaking as she seed to recall sothing.
“He’s even nad alongside your business partner, that little vampire called Tyler.”
Tyler Gulad?
Although, given the age of those from the Bloodline Clan, it wasn’t too problematic to call him young, but he’s just at Middle Tier now, right?
The more Fu Qian listened, the stranger it seed.
“What a pity, it’s difficult to predict how things will turn out.”
Yuan Shan’s tone was varying in pitch, much like storytelling.
“Who would have thought that the once highly respected Jiang En would get stuck at the Middle Tier bottleneck and, after many years without progress, not only was he caught up by others but gradually beca a laughingstock.”
“Is that so? Doesn’t that an he isn’t even at Middle Tier now?”
Chief Yuan was so engaged, and Fu Qian tily played his part in the conversation.
“Absolutely not!”
Yuan Shan shook her head, her tone affirmative.
“Due to him, the Jiang Family has also suffered these last few years, being almost ridiculed to the point of their bloodline coming under mockery. If Jiang En were to rise to Middle Tier, whether he likes it or not, it’d be absolutely impossible to keep it a secret.”
“Understood.”
Fu Qian nodded, endorsing Yuan Shan’s judgnt.
Sure enough, as a chief of the region, her understanding of human nature was quite insightful.
Moreover, with the fallen genius and the promotion ceremony, it’s increasingly fitting the bill.
However, would that indicate that the target for my trip is at most at the peak of the Seventh Phase?
Isn’t that a bit too fortunate?
“So why are you interested in him?”
By this ti, after overcoming her urge to tell stories, Yuan Shan gazed seriously at Fu Qian.
“I can’t imagine what he could have done to offend you. You, a high and mighty Demigod, if it’s not so matter of principle, there’s no need to bother with such pitiable people.”
Looking for soone just to eliminate them? Is that the impression people have of ?
Fu Qian felt indignant upon hearing this, his expression turning solemn the next mont.
“How could there not be? How old is that Jiang En now?”
“…After wasting these years, he should be about twenty-four or twenty-five.”
Yuan Shan was sowhat puzzled by Fu Qian’s question.
“Twenty-four or twenty-five…”
Fu Qian coldly repeated, his next expression one of pride.
“Consider I, Mr. Fang, am also rely twenty-five years old. Although I’ve achieved a bit on the path of the Transcendent and still never dare to claim the title of young prodigy, these people fish for fa by staking on my reputation in the worldly society. How can you say there isn’t an offense?”
…If you are really twenty-five, I’d smack my head on the roadside right now!
Seeing Fu Qian’s serious deanor, Yuan Shan thought there might truly be so unspeakable entanglents, but as she listened on edge, she almost went insane.
It took her a mont to regain her senses, then an inner roar followed the next mont.
Li Weixuan, not yet forty and hopeful to be a Demigod, is dubbed a genius the whole world watches, a twenty-five-year-old Demigod? Couldn’t you at least make up a more believable story!
Of course, younger Demigods like her colleague Su Gao existed, but they were clearly exceptions, not to be asured by ordinary standards.
“Shangjing is chaotic enough already…”
Determined not to dabble in angling for fa, Yuan Shan took a deep breath and looked earnestly at Fu Qian.
The Chief Yuan truly understood herself, knowing she wasn’t soone craving for vain glory, and that earlier reasoning wasn’t convincing for her.
Seeing this, Fu Qian felt an emotional stir, realizing her implications.
“Don’t worry, isn’t Brother Tyler still living well?”
To dispel Chief Yuan’s doubts, rationale sotis wasn’t as convincing as actual examples.
Tyler?
Yuan Shan, initially gloomy, lit up when she heard this, her mood easing imdiately.
Indeed… when it cos to offenses, that brainless vampire Tyler had offended quite a lot, and all he ended up with was the confiscation of his tools for committing the offense…
It seed unlikely that Jiang En, unless having done sothing exceedingly reprehensible, would et a fatal end.
“Alright then, as long as you have a sense of propriety.”
Practically transparent, Chief Yuan instantly forgo the futile sermon.
“I must leave now. If you wish to learn more intricate details, you could actually consult Wen Li.”
Having finished her tea in one gulp, she stood up the next mont.
“Although she hasn’t been in Shangjing long, she has quite extensive connections.”
Miss Wen, huh? From prior circumstances, her ability in gossips was indeed comndable, Chief Yuan’s suggestion was worth considering.
Moreover, after several days without seeing her, I wonder how her Kaleidoscope training is proceeding.
Nodding, Fu Qian watched Yuan Shan leave without ntioning the ceremony.
Handling myriad affairs daily, such minor matters might as well be directly alleviated for her.
…
Theoretically speaking, the difficulty of this mission truly wasn’t high, fitting well for a level-three object.
The target was right there, find and eliminate him, the ceremony couldn’t be considered a success in any other way.
After sending off Yuan Shan, Fu Qian didn’t delay further and shut his store to head out.
Walking through the familiar streets, Fu Qian silently analyzed the current situation.
Nevertheless, from the present scenario, not only was the mission target of low rank, but even the comparatively cumberso task of finding the person seed likely to be easily pinpointed with Yuan Shan’s help.
Now a straightforward, brute-force solution was laid before him.
But I’ve always been compassionate by nature, and with Chief Yuan sharing so much information, reciprocating her gesture, it seed improper to add more chaos at this ti.
Moreover, the last mission had nearly confird again, more exploration ant more information obtained.
And about the Greedy Worm and decay ntioned in the brief, Fu Qian was still quite curious.
Therefore, there’s no rush to force a solution.
…
“Mr. Fang!”
Before Fu Qian had even announced himself, Wen Li ca to greet him in front of her luxurious mansion.
“You knew I would co?”
This reaction was a bit too quick, making even Fu Qian montarily curious.
“Chief Yuan just notified a mont ago, saying you had returned from your travels.”
Miss Wen replied with a slight smile, her response sowhat sheepish.
