Chapter 241: Chapter 240: Pure Land Volume (Part 3)_1

A demigod who has been promoted for decades?

That status is surely a bit exaggerated!

Having heard Veil’s description,

this was Fu Qian’s first reaction.

Based on the information previously obtained, in this world, as long as one breaks through the Fourth Phase and becomes a High-Tier Transcendent, one may be called a demigod.

But there are also ranks among demigods, with at least distinctions between the first, second, and third phases, and the gaps between them are even larger than one might imagine.

Thus, the strength of a demigod who has been promoted for decades is certainly worth full use of one’s imagination.

The more one hears, the more perilous it seems; such a character directly hanging around here, and up until now completely silent without causing even a ripple.

“If you’re looking for Herrom, you might have some difficulty,”

Veil said carefully, watching Fu Qian’s expression.

“Herrom is basically a loner, not affiliated with any consortium or organization, and does not serve the Federation; tracking his whereabouts is tough.”

“I even once heard that due to some of his actions, the Night Watchman has been monitoring him for many years.

But because he is cunning and his movements unpredictable, he is still active everywhere.”

The more one hears, the more difficult it seems.

Even the Night Watchman is monitoring him?

Fu Qian’s first thought was of the Executioner Group, where Su Gao belonged.

According to Veil’s description, this person must be acting very cautiously.

A powerful and cunning victim with unpredictable movements.

One could deduce from Veil’s description that no one yet knows of Herrom’s demise, meaning he must have only just had an incident.

“Understood, thank you for the warning.”

Responding to Veil’s kind warning, Fu Qian also expressed his thanks very politely.

However, at the same time, he noticed that Veil’s complexion was somewhat pale.

She couldn’t be thinking he was going to take out Herrom, could she?

Fu Qian quickly guessed the reason.

And it wasn’t strange for Veil to think so.

After all, to her, he had just stepped on the King of the White Tower in front of a demigod not long ago.

For someone to inquire about another person after such an event, speculating whether that person is the next target is a normal reaction.

“Right, have you got your vacation plan sorted out yet?”

Perhaps realizing her complexion was somewhat off, Veil forced a smile and tried to change the subject.

“How can it still be called a vacation if I make a plan for it?”

Fu Qian looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“I always just wander around on my vacations, oh right—”

Suddenly, Fu Qian seemed to remember something.

“You said your sister hid here, where is she now?”

“She’s been in the hospital the whole time; after all, her injuries haven’t fully healed yet.”

Veil subconsciously answered, and then startled herself.

Wait a minute!

Did he not just say he wanted to roam around and then asked for Riet’s address?

In that instant, Veil felt a shiver go down her spine and instinctively told herself she was overthinking it.

“Staying in the hospital?”

Fu Qian nodded thoughtfully.

“Now that I’m here, shouldn’t I pay a visit? After all, she’s an acquaintance.”

“No—no need!”

Veil almost blurted out her refusal to Fu Qian’s offer instantly and instinctively.

Hmm?

Fu Qian looked up at her.

“Is there any inconvenience?”

“No… that’s not what I meant!”

Under Fu Qian’s gaze, Veil’s thoughts became confused, and she hastily explained.

Regardless, she would never let Fu Qian actually visit her sister.

Veil still vividly recalled the terror on Riet’s face when she had mentioned his name.

Her sister had always been strong-willed since childhood; she had never seen her like this before.

At this point in time, if Fu Qian were to show up suddenly, the reaction of Riet would be unimaginable.

Veil took a deep breath to calm her emotions.

“Mainly because Riet has been somewhat naive, she has grown quite hostile towards Transcendent powers after the last incident.

So, I’m worried that after she sees you, just as I feared before, she may run off to report us, and then it could affect your plans.”

She deliberately did not say “vacation plans.”

Fu Qian completely understood Veil’s explanation.

Obviously, after their exchange, she did not believe he was here for a vacation.

It was a subtle hint that attracting the attention of the Night Watchman could interfere with his real purpose.

“By what you’re saying, when you visited before, you hid so she wouldn’t find out?”

Fu Qian thought for a moment and asked.

“Yes, I didn’t dare let her know I came here.”

“I see…”

Amid Veil’s anxious demeanor, Fu Qian stroked his chin.

“In that case, you should come with me.”

What?!

While Fu Qian was mulling it over, Veil thought he would finally change his mind.

But just as she let out a sigh of relief, his following words left her completely short-circuited.

“Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll have a good talk with her. I’m quite adept at persuading; she won’t report us.”

Ha ha…

Veil’s expression froze completely, clearly regretting her decision to invite Fu Qian home.

“Maybe we should talk about this tomorrow…”

…

The next morning.

When Fu Qian got up, he found Veil sitting at the dining table in a daze, with dark circles under her eyes that not even heavy makeup could hide.

He wasn’t surprised at all.

Last night, Fu Qian had clearly heard her tossing and turning upstairs, unable to sleep.

There was even a moment when she seemed to get up and start packing, possibly considering making a run for it.

However, in the end, she gave up the idea.

The dining table was already set with a lavish breakfast, but judging by the untouched plate in front of Veil, she likely hadn’t eaten a bite.

“You’re up?”

Seeing Fu Qian, she managed to muster a weak smile.

“Yes, one can’t sleep in on a vacation.”

Fu Qian sat down opposite her and noticed that even the tableware was prepared for an extra person.

“After breakfast… shall we head out?”

To his surprise, Veil took a deep breath and spoke up first.

After a night of contemplation, she had clearly organized her thoughts.

If Fu Qian’s mind couldn’t be changed, she was determined to accompany him no matter what.

She couldn’t even fathom what Riet’s reaction would be upon waking up and finding Fu Qian already at the hospital.

That was also the reason she had discarded the idea of running away the night before.

With a character like Fu Qian in town, she dared not imagine what the scene would look like after she left.

Although she was still unsure of his true intentions.

“Sure!”

Fu Qian agreed while continuing to eat his breakfast.

It must be said, Veil did seem to be a responsible older sister.

Actually, Fu Qian held little interest in going to terrorize an ignorant girl.

The insistence on visiting the hospital stemmed from a sudden insight he had earlier.

If there were no signs of a Demigod’s demise and Herrom died here like any ordinary person, without causing any ripples,

then why not conduct the investigation as one would for an ordinary death?

In such a case, the hospital was undeniably a classic location and worth checking out.

Of course, there was another reason – his trust in the rebellious girl’s constitution, feeling that she always managed to encounter the extraordinary.
