Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2285 The Turmoil in the Capital
This young hero is quite courageous.

The chief of the Night Watchers had just said that no one would dare to disturb the peace, and this was immediately contradicted on the spot?

Grantham's pace was unhurried, but it was clear at a glance that his purpose was clear: to take advantage of the two giants.

At the same time, it was also noticed that the seemingly indifferent audience members were all paying attention to this point, and the situation was instantly swayed—

"Mr. Fang, I didn't expect you and Chief Yuan to be here as well."

Although the eye of the typhoon twitched slightly the next moment.

The elegance of vampires never fades. As Grantham walked up to him, his expression was impeccable, as if he had unexpectedly run into an old friend.

However, the person I seemed to have a closer relationship with was actually the owner of the bookstore next door.

"I'm just here to freeload."

Despite this unexpected turn of events, Fu Qian remained composed, gesturing with the plate in his hand.

……

The evidence is sufficient.

The structural mechanics masterpiece in Fu Qian's hands, which still stands majestically even with one load-bearing wall missing, clearly provides great support for his statement.

Even someone as quick-witted as Grantham seemed somewhat persuaded by this candor.

“The banquet was indeed very nice… I’m very glad I came. If Serana were here, I would have preferred to ask her for help.”

However, it was only for a moment. The next instant, Grantham naturally expressed his agreement, his tone even somewhat exaggerated.

"I'm afraid she might not be willing either. Has Serana said when she'll be back?"

It has to be said that the chief was very relaxed today. Compared to Grantham, who was somewhat careful with his words, he casually picked up the conversation the next moment, saying that Serana's stay-at-home index might be even higher.

Grantham's statement clearly took into account Serana's higher rank, and the Gulad family did not mind using this method to express their sincerity in cooperating.

Unfortunately, it was truly unfortunate that he was temporarily away from the capital at the moment.

Yuan Shan's reaction was that she made no attempt to hide the fact that she knew this.

Given Serana's status, the Night Watchers shouldn't be obligated to require her to report at all times.

However, Yuan Shan showed no surprise at the fact that she was no longer in the capital, demonstrating her complete control.

Even questions about what exactly you did are not mandatory; it's up to you whether you want to answer or not.

"It might take a while. So far, we've only found some clues related to Taylor's previous incident, and we still need to investigate further."

Although he did not give a precise answer, Grantham behaved obediently and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

……

Oh?
It's clear that Lady Serana has a very high level of awareness about secrecy.

When I approached her to collaborate on the scene of receiving a blessing, and even to introduce the mastermind behind the corpse-picking incident and the minions of the Lord of Death, she promised that only she and Grantham would know about it.

At this moment, Yuan Shan was somewhat surprised by Grantham's statement, as it seemed that it had not been reported before.

Even when Grantham took the initiative to inform everyone, he still didn't mention the Death Lord, but instead focused on the incident of Taylor being framed.

"I'm really looking forward to the results."

While curious, Yuan Shan clearly thought of something. She said she was looking forward to it, but her eyes were on Fu Qian.

"I will definitely convey this message immediately."

Grantham laughed heartily, his demeanor becoming even more dashing.

However, despite the pleasant exchange, he did not stay long and soon made an excuse to take his leave.

Before leaving, he even made a special recommendation for a certain type of dessert that he particularly admired.

"Is it tasty?"

Yuan Shan didn't seem to care about this at all. Even after watching Grantham leave, she quickly focused on Fu Qian's hand. The latter really took the suggestion seriously, and before anyone could say anything, he had already popped Grantham's recommendation into his mouth.

"To be honest... I don't quite understand why vampires would like spicy food."

Fu Qian quickly responded to Yuan Shan's curiosity, and his expression said it all.

He popped a small, golden-yellow cake into his mouth, which, according to Grantham, was a long-established dessert.

"To put it more specifically, it's like a bee using its stinger to dab honey on your tongue."

Yes, it is indeed sweet.

However, a certain special spicy agent, when mixed together, seems to act as a pioneer, cutting through the taste buds and sending sweetness deep into the soul.

"That's it."

Judging from his expression, he already seemed uninterested. Yuan Shan's reaction was equally decisive; she directly stated that she wouldn't try it, while simultaneously reaching out and stealing something else.

Unfortunately, the situation wasn't well controlled this time, which directly led to a small-scale collapse of Fu Qian's masterpiece.

……

"Taylor has had a rough life, but perhaps he can grow faster through such trials, just like his old rival who was his equal."

Fu Qian naturally wouldn't care about such a trivial matter, and even finished the spicy dessert carefully before expressing his amazement.

That guy is indeed brainless and unlucky, but are you sure it's appropriate for you to say that? You're the culprit behind a lot of his hardships, aren't you?

Although she did not refute this statement at that moment, Yuan Shan's expression was meaningful.

"You sound like you think highly of that Jiang En? He's been having a tough time lately."

However, she didn't dwell on that point; she quickly became curious about the other person mentioned before the payment.

"Of course, he has the perseverance and determination, but he lacks a bit of luck. Given time, he will surely become something extraordinary."

They continued to give positive reviews, effortlessly maintaining the air of a hermit before payment.

"That's as good as saying nothing. The difficulty lies in luck."

Yuan Shan practically rolled her eyes at him. The path to transcendence is fraught with hardship; countless people end up tragically. It's hardly a valid reason to pursue it.

……

Jiang En was indeed more composed.

Fu Qian, however, drew a completely different conclusion regarding Yuan Shan's reaction.

The person who discovered the "secret" in the throat by chance and made a breakthrough did not rush to take advantage of the young man's poverty. He kept a low profile so much that even the Night Watchers did not know about the situation.

Of course, things might not be the same after today.

This conversation with Yuan Shan was undoubtedly just casual chat and didn't have any profound meaning.

But you can't stop others from thinking about the deeper meaning behind it.

As mentioned earlier, Yuan Shan and I are the unseen core of this banquet.

Even if something seems ordinary, it will inevitably benefit from the attention it receives from the two of them.

Not to mention they were originally the famous pair of geniuses from the North and South.

Given that both Nan Taylor and Bei Jiang En are in somewhat delicate situations, what kind of storm will arise in the capital as their gazes converge once again?

For Jiang En in particular, this can be considered a moderate endorsement.

Given his personality, the probability of him returning to his family is still very small, and it's not so easy for him to make a living alone outside.

As a member of the "Death Ruler's" retinue, it's only a small favor to guide their fate.

　Sorry it's late, the next chapter will be postponed until tomorrow morning.
