Like Su Gao, Fu Qian didn’t raise any more objections about the need to keep up with Kagetsu Kana.
On the one hand, Kagetsu Kana’s will was undoubtedly quite firm, and it wouldn’t be easy to change her mind.
Meanwhile, the individual of no low rank who was lurking in the shadows found it risky to activate the Decree Residue in a place with such a large crowd, as it would easily expose any anomalies.
He was, after all, a pawn of the Siren Group.
And if he didn’t use that thing, directly ordering the two not to follow would certainly lead to some intense interactions.
The likely result of that would be that the two of them received unnecessary attention, increasing their chances of facing an even more tragic fate.
Taking all this into account, Fu Qian quite contentedly accepted the observation subjects that had presented themselves.
“Fate really is wonderful! When I met Mr. Darcy and Violetta, I felt that something good would happen today.”
Having successfully “taken control” of the situation, Kagetsu Kana beamed with satisfaction about today’s outing and didn’t even try to hide her fondness for the title of Dark Fairy.
“Yes, fate is always quite subtle,”
Fu Qian agreed with her casually as he watched her interact with Takagi.
It’s just a pity that sometimes, many people have no idea what their true destiny is.
Considering her outstanding performance just now, someone had already approached Kagetsu Kana to register her information. Amid the casual conversation, the group of four did not linger and proceeded to head outside.
Wherever she went, Kagetsu Kana was undoubtedly the center of attention, with people clapping and even whistling non-stop.
Of course, this lively scene wasn’t entirely harmonious.
As Kagetsu Kana’s male companion, Brother Takagi was in an undoubtedly awkward position, struggling even to maintain his stiff smile.
Especially when he saw Kagetsu Kana grinning and cozying up to Fu Qian, he wanted to join the conversation but couldn’t find an opportunity.
Thinking about the at least three hours of journey ahead, having to deal with this guy and his female partner, Takagi couldn’t help feeling dejected.
His negative emotions were quite obvious, but regrettably, neither Fu Qian nor Kagetsu Kana had any interest in attending to his feelings, not to mention Su Gao.
…
“It looks the same as it did just now.”
Heading back the way they came, once the four emerged from Mist Society Temple, Su Gao sighed quietly and remarked as she observed the bustling crowd.
“That’s because it’s still early.”
Kagetsu Kana quickly chimed in with a gentle smile.
“It’s said that until the evening, people come from all over—ah!”
She didn’t finish her sentence before she screamed, her body leaning and tilting as she fell down.
The stone steps outside the temple were indeed narrow, and in trying to avoid an oncoming crowd, she misstepped and lost her balance in an instant.
“Be careful!”
Luckily, she fell in the direction of Takagi, who, though a bit distracted, reacted immediately when she cried out and reached out to steady her.
This unexpected incident also seemed to snap Takagi out of his daze; the next moment, he held Kagetsu Kana, gently admonishing her.
“Don’t just talk without looking.”
“Yes,”
Kagetsu Kana, having recovered from the shock, now seemed to realize she had gotten ahead of herself and nodded submissively.
“It’s my fault, too.”
Fu Qian said with a smile, casting a discreet glance over Su Gao.
Both he and Su Gao could have certainly reacted to Kagetsu Kana’s mishap.
But in the end, they both chose surprisingly similarly—they didn’t lend a hand.
Fu Qian realized that Su Gao felt the same way he did—this was too much of a coincidence.
Su Gao’s remark as she walked out the door wasn’t idle talk; what she meant was that the hidden figure was still watching them closely.

While Kagetsu Kana was chatting lively with herself, she accidentally fell and tilted towards Takagi’s direction, and Takagi just so happened to react quickly enough to catch her.
All of this could certainly be explained as a coincidence, but for actual combatants like Fu Qian and Su Gao, they are always quite sensitive to all coincidences.
They didn’t even need to provide absolute proof; they simply tried to think in reverse. What if it wasn’t a coincidence?
If it wasn’t a coincidence, then the result would be that some force caused the accident to occur, ultimately interrupting her interaction with Kagetsu Kana, while Takagi seemed to regain some spirit.
Could this force be from that gentlemen at Yasui Corp?
If so, it would signify that the other party’s attitude is quite proactive.
“Thinking about it, I also don’t understand why I would get such a result; I can hardly be considered a celebrity.”
It proved that Kagetsu Kana was quick at mental adjustments.
She soon stabilized her mind and continued to talk with a smile.
