After listening to Yuan Shan’s description, Fu Qian finally understood the eerie nature of the Abyssal Chronicle.
Transcendent items truly each have their own marvels.
At the same time, he also realized why Yuan Shan had reacted that way just now.
“So you wanted me to keep my distance because you didn’t want to be identified?”
“As far as I know, even those at the Demigod Level can’t remain immune to its effects,”
Chief Yuan nodded.
“I certainly don’t want to be constantly on someone’s mind.”
“Completely understand it.”
Fu Qian echoed, at the same time figuring out why Brother Tyler played the part of the generous benefactor.
His imposing momentum from the moment he walked in the door was completely an act.
The true purpose of his visit was, indeed, to have him “look” at the Chronicle, so that it could recognize him.
And once the Chronicle was brought back, he could use this to verify a lot of information related to him.
It had to be said that it was a good calculation, especially since he was not familiar with this Chronicle.
If he really could have taken it away.
He must be filled with regret now.
But there’s no helping it, corporate battles are just that brutal.
“Then I won’t insist.”
Fu Qian patted the cover of the Chronicle, without attempting to open it.
“I don’t mind, since I’ve already seen it, and in fact, there are indeed some interesting contents inside.”
Before coming, he had quickly flipped through the Chronicle, confirming that it had changed many owners.
Apart from the earliest owner, who had noted down his own romantic experiences, most of what remained was a collection of experimental nature or some strange formulas, with very poor coherence between them.
“Your tone sounds almost like self-consolation after a minor setback,”
Yuan Shan couldn’t help but mock, carefully glancing at the Chronicle.
“But you’re right, after all, it is a notebook that has been passed down for many years, there should still be some valuable stuff in it, that’s why I found it strange they would let you see it.”
“Also, apart from what’s mentioned above, it is said that the Chronicle has another effect, due to its inherently absolute truthfulness, it can sometimes help the holder escape madness, but at the cost of its own consumption.”
“I’m just mentioning what I heard, if it’s true, the fact that it could be assigned for Tyler’s use, this young Vampire must be highly valued.”
“That’s likely, he seemed to have a cool head, the patience to endure what others can’t; he’s destined for greatness in the future.”
Hearing Yuan Shan mention the generous benefactor, Fu Qian also continually agreed.
…
“Don’t act coy after getting a bargain.”
Yuan Shan glared fiercely at Fu Qian.
“Gulad Family members are notoriously vengeful, you’ve insisted on keeping their family’s Transcendent item, you’re definitely in for endless troubles, you’d better be prepared.”
“Thanks for the warning, I am fully prepared!”
Fu Qian said, full of confidence.
“Really? How do you plan to handle it?”
Yuan Shan couldn’t help but be a bit curious.
Ha!
Fu Qian scoffed, a look of arrogance on his face.
“If they don’t come after me, so be it; if they do and are blind to the truth, then they are simply courting death.”
“Really?”
Yuan Shan looked at Fu Qian for several seconds, her expression strange.
“Then make sure you cover your tracks well.”
Huh?
This time it was Fu Qian’s turn to be surprised.
“That’s not exactly the attitude a civil servant should have, is it?”
“First of all, I’m not a civil servant, and people from the Gulad Family have never been saints or paragons of virtue,”
“The problem originated from them, and while I don’t think you’re capable of standing up to such a behemoth, if you really want to take action, it’s outside the Night Watchman’s duty.”
“Just avoid creating too negative an impact.”
“Understood.”
