Chapter 719 717 Su Gaos Learning Ability_1

Chapter 719: Chapter 717 Su Gao’s Learning Ability_1 Chapter 719: Chapter 717 Su Gao’s Learning Ability_1 Whoa—

Why is the treatment so different?

Why haven’t I seen you being this polite to me!

In the living room, after realizing what Fu Qian was saying, Suzune’s eyes went wide with astonishment.

It completely contradicted her perception of this man-eating brute.

In fact, despite her shock, she recognized that this notion was prejudiced.

Each time she had entered before, Fu Qian had also greeted her with courtesy, although she might not have accepted his manner.

After all, she was now seen as a beast in human clothing.

Seeing Suzune’s reaction, Fu Qian thought to himself.

It was all too easy to guess what was on her mind.

As for why so polite?

Please, even in a triangle of relationships, one should maintain a good balance!

Besides, Fu Qian noticed that when the name Lego was mentioned, Su Gao nearby seemed a bit off.

Although uncertain of what she was thinking, to his favorite enforcer, Fu Qian didn’t mind facilitating a chat between her and an old acquaintance in this special way.

…

“Hard work pays off!”

The shock Lego showed was far less than Suzune’s.

Also, with the Night Watchman’s confidence, he wasn’t concerned in the least about something like being poisoned, and thus sat down quite naturally.

With the leader having spoken, Suzune also refrained from raising any objections and took a seat far away from Fu Qian.

At the same time, she made up her mind that she wouldn’t drink anything he poured for her.

…

It turned out that she had been overly cautious.

When Fu Qian said he would get a pot, he did just that.

After tossing over the tea leaves and cups in a casual manner, he took a comfortable seat, appearing to be done with his hosting duties.

As Suzune was in a daze, she noticed Captain’s gaze upon her and then glanced at the pile of items.

After processing for two seconds, she realized she was being asked to make tea.

It was clear that the Captain still wanted to chat with the guy, and now was not the time to make a scene over such a trivial matter.

Looking toward the kitchen with disgust and recollecting what had happened there before, Suzune instinctively resisted the idea.

But with several pairs of eyes on her, not going would undoubtedly make the situation awkward.

Luckily, she was quick-witted enough to grab the items and head to the tea room where Fu Qian had just been.

“Where have you been recently, Mr. Darcy? I’ve been wanting to discuss the recent events at this place with you, but I couldn’t find you anywhere.”

While her subordinate transformed into a tea-serving sister, Lego shifted his gaze, speaking in a casual tone, though the subject matter was sensitive.

After all, they weren’t just making small talk, even though the tea did smell pretty good.

“I went to Dunis to see an opera.”

Fu Qian’s answer continued to play on honesty.

“Just got back by boat.”

These two statements were indisputably true, but when linked together, they created a highly misleading impression—that he had just returned from Dunis on a boat.

To see an opera…

Even Lego, experienced as he was, was rendered silent by this response.

While the man in question might indeed look like someone who’d frequent opera houses, this…

“Did you know? The War God’s wife loves men with big blue pecs.”

On Fu Qian’s end, he was still enthusiastically sharing details about the opera he had seen.

What do big blue pecs have to do with me!

Lego actually felt the urge to lash out physically.

“Really? I wasn’t aware. Is that a song from the Dunis carnival? I heard something troubling happened there recently.”

More than a little troubling, I’d say!

Recalling that noisy night, Fu Qian sighed inwardly.

The Night Watchman surely had a record of this; I suppose this person’s rank wasn’t high enough to access too much information.

“Really? I feel like it’s fine, everyone’s really into it.”

“…Lady Violetta, did you also come over from Dunis?”

Lego clearly didn’t want to discuss the details of the revelry anymore and directly changed the topic by shifting the conversation to someone else.

“No.”

Su Gao simply shook her head.

“I grew up on Ye Island.”

There was no doubt that this was the truth, but saying it at this moment was highly misleading and could easily make people misunderstand as if she had always been active on Ye Island.

Is she imitating me? Why do I get the feeling this girl is kind of enjoying this!

Seeing Su Gao mislead others without changing her expression, Fu Qian reflected inwardly.

They say it’s hard to learn good habits but easy to pick up bad ones.

…

Su Gao’s answer was undoubtedly surprising, causing Lego’s brow to slightly furrow, at a loss for words for a moment.

Fortunately, Suzune had already returned with the tea set by this time.

Compared to Fu Qian, she was clearly more professional, with each movement natural and fluid, matching perfectly.

After making a cup for the leader, the aroma wafting up was even richer.

Lego very decisively took a sip from his cup, dispelling the awkwardness.

“I wonder what it will taste like.”

Fu Qian also poured himself a sip and the next moment looked up at the ceiling, lost in thought.

“What?”

Lego didn’t catch on for a moment and asked subconsciously.

“Blue pecs.”

What?

As soon as Fu Qian said this, Suzune, who was pouring tea for herself, shook her hand.

What on earth had they just been discussing?

“Speaking of which, Captain Lego, have you been living on Ye Island all this time?”

Seeing the conversation heating up, Fu Qian started leading the topic very naturally.

“I wasn’t born here, but I’ve been here for over a decade.”

Lego cooperated with a matching response.

Anyways, as long as the topic didn’t switch back to blue pecs, it was all good.

“More than a decade, that’s quite a long time.”

Fu Qian glanced at Su Gao.

“Was it during that time you joined the Night Watchman?”

“…Correct.”

Fu Qian’s words made Lego pause briefly, but considering the natural progression of logic, he didn’t resist.

It wasn’t a big deal, and if this guy wanted to talk more, that was for the best.

“With such poise, I thought you’d prefer a more free-spirited life?”

“…How do you know I didn’t? Before I joined the Night Watchman, I lived quite the free-spirited life, taking money for jobs, carefree and comfortable.”

Lego smiled faintly, speaking rather liberally.

“Unfortunately, some things happened after that.”

“What happened?”

Fu Qian looked on curiously.

“Theoretically, that’s classified, but let’s just say that operation encountered quite a crisis, and I saw the cruel side of Transcendent powers against ordinary people…”

“I used to take pride in being different, thinking that Transcendent abilities were the answer to the world, but from that day, I felt that they still needed to be limited to a certain degree, which is a core reason why I joined the Night Watchman.”

“Of course, everyone’s ideas differ, and another companion of mine chose to retire straight after coming back, to marry and have children, to live an ordinary life.”

One had to admit that Lego’s words sounded quite sincere, to the point where Violetta opposite him was listening very attentively.

“I quite understand your friend’s choice; what’s his name?”
