Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2490 Well-deserved reputation
Oh? It seems the case has been solved instantly.

It's not surprising to experience a "sudden self-discovery," let alone during afternoon tea, when you meet someone you're destined to meet.

The last remark by the Tooth and Throat Hermit was indeed quite profound, but not particularly abrupt—unless the listener was paying attention.

"Physical form cannot define a person"?
This concept sounds somewhat familiar.

At that moment, Fu Qian thought he understood why the swarm was acting so resolutely.

Because of my current appearance? Does anyone among you know Grandpa Lu?
Thinking about it, this possibility is actually quite high. Although their strength is not top-notch, this team is undoubtedly very diverse.

There are all sorts of people here, and many of them have quite a bit of success.

Before he was poisoned by himself, Old Master Lu Ming's business in the Ring Islands was thriving and was basically out in the open.

Even if a group of people have never officially interacted, the probability of matching their faces with their names is still quite high.

After returning from the Ash Sea, in order to make it easier to greet Lady Serana, he was still wearing the face of a younger version of Grandpa Lu.

A mid-level transcendent on the street might not be enough to make the swarm act so decisively, but adding the possible background of the Rebirth Club undoubtedly makes it much more powerful.

Furthermore, if this is indeed the case, it is enough to prove that the greedy people are really in a hurry.

The Rebirth Club is indeed a special organization, but let's not forget its recent surge in popularity.

Even someone of their level would surely have heard of it.

In this situation, ordinary people would probably avoid any signs they see, but the insect swarm is determined to take the risk and try to extract some valuable information.

It's no wonder they've lost the hard-won clues, and their faith has been waning for days. It's understandable that their hearts are restless.

"That makes sense. It was a creation full of flaws from the start."

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind. At that moment, Fu Qian sighed deeply, raised one hand and examined it repeatedly, expressing his deep agreement with the words of the Tooth and Throat Hermit.

It doesn't matter. So what if I don't receive the prayers? Just watch the physical favor of the King of Abandoned Prison.

……

"You don't seem to be from around here?"

Indeed, the listener took it to heart.

However, it was a deeper step on the previous statement, and the underlying ideas were even consistent. At that moment, the Tooth and Throat Hermit remained somewhat silent.

A moment later, he seemed to break away from the nonchalant attitude of "Why bother with past acquaintances when we meet?" and asked casually.

"No, a friend invited me here, although he himself has disappeared."

This point was not mentioned; Fu Qian even answered quite honestly.

"Also, the weather wasn't very good after we arrived, and we only went out for a stroll when the sun finally came out."

……

"Then this little shop is truly honored to have heard such an interesting story. I've even thought of a name for the sausage."

This time, the man remained silent for even longer, until it was the elderly shopkeeper who finally broke the silence, smiling and expressing her satisfaction that he had chosen to have a drink here.

Even from what they said later, it seems they are genuinely considering accepting the business advice.

"It's interesting to say that a name, or even a body, cannot represent oneself, although such sentiments may seem a bit premature for your age... In any case, it seems that my decision to open for business today was the right one."

Before Fu Qian could even exchange a polite word, the old lady seemed quite moved by some of the later statements, expressing her agreement with a sigh.

Is business really this casual?

He nodded approvingly before giving his answer.

The old lady was, of course, an ordinary person, and most likely did not have any knowledge of things like reattachment.

The reason for this sentiment is clearly due to the infectious atmosphere of afternoon tea, which resonated with the conversation. It's fair to say that this was a unique kind of cross-channel communication.

When she and the Tooth and Throat Layman were testing each other, she was clearly unaware of the hidden meanings behind their conversation, and what she shared were genuine insights about life.

It's a bit strange, but it's still an interesting scene.

"So true personal growth is about gradually completing oneself."

Furthermore, what's a little cross-channel communication? The expert sighed in the next moment, easily managing both.

"That makes sense..."

On the surface, he was reflecting on life by following the shop owner's words, but for the Tooth and Throat Hermit, some of the subtexts were quite blatant.

He finally spoke up and echoed her words, his face visibly stiff.

"You are still young, you have plenty of opportunities..."

Although the elderly shop owner clearly interpreted this as a conversation that was so profound that even the person who initiated the topic was deeply impressed, she even chuckled and comforted them.

"Another drink?"

At the same time, their business acumen was on full display; they didn't forget to take the opportunity to promote their drinks, and they didn't even offer a second drink at half price.

"...No need, this cup is already quite delicious."

The Tooth and Throat Hermit's response remained elegant; at that moment, he downed the remaining wine in one gulp, took a deep breath, and stood up.

"My treat."

Not only that, the next moment she turned to look at Fu Qian and even took out money and put it on the table.

"grateful."

All good things must come to an end. He accepted the gift with the same nonchalant attitude, not only accepting it gladly but even greeting the old lady.

"Then I'll have another one."

……

When the Hermit of Tooth and Throat left, the setting sun had already cast long shadows, making the scene somewhat desolate.

However, considering that she still paid for the second cup of pomegranate juice, she chose to interpret this scene as her enjoyment ending.

That's life, isn't it? Not only do people in the same scene walk different paths, but many don't even know why they're on that path.

Instead of focusing on the taste of the sweet wine, why not enjoy it while you can?

Are there any crowded places around here at night?

After finishing his second glass of pomegranate juice, Fu Qian got up to say goodbye and took the opportunity to ask a question.

"Of course, the weather looks pretty good right now, so I'm sure it will be quite lively."

It's perfectly normal to wander around in an unfamiliar place and ask someone for help. The old lady clearly didn't think anything was wrong and pointed in a direction with a smile.

"That's what I believe too."

Nodding in agreement, they accepted the suggestion and set off in the indicated direction.

……

"The Rebirth Club truly lives up to its reputation!"

It can only be said that the locals' guidance was indeed reliable. Just as we passed that particular slaughterhouse, there were already people waiting under a tree.

Not only was the data of the newcomer significantly better than that of the Tooth and Throat Hermit in terms of visual radar, but the degree of unrestrainedness was also far superior.

His gaze immediately fell on Fu Qian, and as soon as he got close, he uttered a deep sigh of admiration.
