Chapter 1627: Chapter 1622: Normal Abnormality

No wars in Xi Yuan.

Upon revisiting this place, at the moment I gazed at the stars in the darkness, Fu Qian was quite confident that even if he went there specifically, or took a stroll around the volcano’s crater, there probably wouldn’t be any discoveries.

Unless he transformed into the Abandonment King, attempting to observe from a deity’s perspective might bring about some changes.

But the reason lies right here, in facing an abnormal peace that seems to require understanding in this way, is it really wise to use such methods to figure it out?

There are few explanations about "night and nightmare" from the Prism of Radiant Transformation.

Yet, except for the mad Red Moon until now, this world’s superior beings seem to remain in quite a low-profile state.

Not to mention when he chose "Divine Skin", amongst a pile of definitively deceased divine beings’ remains.

Fu Qian has always had the virtue of going with the flow, after the exchange in the Night Holy City, he never preferred to resolve issues in mythical form unless it was absolutely necessary.

Especially outside of missions.

And this time was no exception.

Upon realizing Xi Yuan was overly peaceful, he had already determined his strategy, which was, before understanding the reason, not to use the Abandonment King form to figure it out.

Now being a person with some reputation, it was time to join this dark game where no one speaks out.

So the final result was that he decisively continued under the Grimshaw identity, paying a visit first to the most esteemed person among the loose cultivators.

As for the just occurred trap, there was of course a reason he fell into it.

How to eliminate communication barriers swiftly has always been a technical task.

To quickly help Brother Hao Ke realize the situation, thereby fully utilizing his will to survive rather than being countered, the impact naturally needed to be as strong as possible.

"It’s simple, keep thinking."

At this moment, as things gradually went on track, facing the compliant Hao Ke, Fu Qian once again gave crucial instructions.

"What else makes you think Xi Yuan is too normal?"

...

This question indeed seemed a bit perverse.

Hao Ke, who was initially staring unblinkingly at Fu Qian to show sincerity with his determined eyes, almost started sweating at that moment.

Originally, it was merely his subjective assumption, but the other party not only acknowledged it but also required deep digging.

Resolutely resigning to fate and giving up on thinking, is it so difficult to be someone’s puppet?

But Hao Ke evidently didn’t have the guts to voice this demand, so he could only rack his brain and overclock his thoughts.

"I remembered—Blood Lion returned about a week ago."

And effort eventually bore fruit, in just over ten seconds, he clenched his fist, having gained something.

"Huang Zhixun?"

And the information he provided indeed successfully touched a nerve in the questioner.

Fu Qian frowned slightly, recalling an old acquaintance he once dealt with.

"You know him too?"

Always keenly observing, Hao Ke got naturally thrilled at this point, actively introducing what he knew.

"At just forty years old, Huang Zhixun stands at the peak of the Fourth Phase, originating from the Huang Family in Xi Yuan, but since leaving home, he rarely returned, supposedly wasn’t very close."

"Of course, even so, the Huang Family habitually mentions him, after all, he’s a star figure expected to become the youngest demigod in decades."

"He won’t make it."

Fu Qian shook his head, lightly commenting.

Of course, both the words and tone were borrowed from his former classmate, Su Gao.

How can a mere lackey of the Bloodline Clan dare to compete for glory with Director Li of our Academy?

Meanwhile, he mentally added an original sentence to reduce repetition.

"The issue is, doesn’t it seem abnormal for someone who doesn’t want to return to suddenly come back?"

And in the next moment, looking at a somewhat rigid-faced Hao Ke, he frowned and raised a doubt.

...

This guy might be even scarier than imagined, just now he really almost set one foot into the Gates of Hell.

Being interrupted or questioned is clearly not the main reason for Hao Ke’s stiff expression at this moment.

The main reason was Lord Grimshaw’s evaluation of Blood Lion was extremely naturally expressed.

The plain tone, without a hint of doubt, left the strongest first impression of sheer superiority.

To look down on a Fourth Phase Transcendent... So could he actually be a demigod?

This indeed was a soul-shattering speculation yet incredibly smooth.

"Indeed it’s like that——"

Of course, reminiscing made one feel terrified, but it didn’t delay Hao Ke from answering the question.

"However, the reason for thinking of this is I suddenly realized that after Huang Zhixun returned this time, the Huang Family who always spoke of him has shown no special reaction, maintaining the low-profile style from before."

"Even he himself hasn’t appeared again, so that even now, people in our circle can’t understand why he suddenly returned."

"So though typically this is indeed abnormal, considering the shadow your lord mentioned, I reckon it’s also a kind of behaviour that fits the pattern."

At this moment, Hao Ke obviously did not want to be perceived as evasive, so his speech speed was astonishing, and he cautiously observed Fu Qian after explaining.

"Reasonable."

Thankfully, Lord Grimshaw didn’t deliberately make things difficult, promptly giving recognition.

...

As it is said, no matter how painful the process, the report will surely appear before the deadline.

Brother Hao Ke indeed provided an interesting piece of information.

Even though Blood Lion Huang Zhixun suddenly running back, this mystery to them, it’s hard to say it doesn’t involve his own factors.

After all, in Shangjing, due to collaboration with the Gulad Family, he accidentally bumped into Fu Qian’s hand, ultimately leading Chief Yuan to seize the chance to kick him out directly.

By looking back at the records, Huang Zhixun seemed to have been quite successful up to that point, and was aiming to fully leap over the dragon gate using resources from the ancient family.

Unfortunately, this momentum was forcibly suppressed by collusion between officials and merchants.

In this situation choosing to return to the ancestral land, which from previous performance, clearly he deemed of little value.

The reason for this is truly thought-provoking.

So next is what should be done——

"It sounds like you have an elite gathering circle, is it convenient to call them together to have a chat?"

In the next moment, Fu Qian asked inquisitively but gently.

True professionals never boast about their sense of the bigger picture.

The last time that tree caused trouble, it affected the entire city.

This time, the abnormal low-profile, there’s no reason to only focus on the Huang Family.

One must learn to coordinate resources, and Brother Hao Ke, as a loose cultivator who has successfully achieved good communication, evidently still had value to contribute while Fu Qian got busy with other topics.
