Chapter 2854: Chapter 2849: Sect Misfortune

That’s just normal.

Structure, a word emphasized repeatedly along the way.

The Master does indeed present an air of mystery, having not even heard of this title before, knowing very little about various aspects.

Combined with the ambiguity starting from the welcome ceremony, theoretically deducing his actions is still rather challenging.

But some core things remain difficult to change, like the courage mentioned earlier.

Just like Yibu realized, the Master should be far stronger than he appears, Fu Qian just now tended toward this paradoxically being far beyond Middle Tier.

So his so-called daring actions to retrieve chestnuts from the fire weren’t so tragic and risky, Yibu never posed a threat to him from the beginning.

And such a character, how could he easily give up the advantage at hand?

Clearly, the Master is quite familiar with the Codex, even using it seamlessly.

This means no matter whom he faces, as long as he is within the Codex’s coverage, it’s almost always his home ground.

Perhaps the scene at this moment is quite special, the boundaries between the laboratory and Archipelago seem to have disappeared.

But how would you know without trying, does the Codex still hold one hundred percent effectiveness after entering the laboratory range?

So this is where the structure is demonstrated, if it were elsewhere, Old Master Yibu might still venture to give it a try.

Clearly possessing exceptional strength, yet from the start enjoying lurking behind and using others as cannon fodder, the Master is likely unwilling to take even this risk.

Therefore, before the ship reaches the forbidden zone, his probability of taking action is quite high.

Of course, the manner of action still holds style.

"Two people cannot stand at the bow together at night," this rule sounds like a weird tale, making one recall "two must not look into a well," is it to prevent someone from being kicked overboard?

In short, he cleverly utilized this point under the information gap, causing Yibu to violate the Codex and face punishment, seemingly quickly rendering a demigod powerless to resist.

Even the grasp of personality is quite precise, knowing how Yibu is not particularly fond of the Codex, if it were Bai Jinting, he might instinctively avoid this scenario without thinking much.

Additionally, on the surface, neither of them shows visible injuries, this Codex’s form of punishment seems to have various methods.

And the Master appears quite adept at these unspecified aspects...

His mobility looked completely unaffected, proving this point.

"So if he’s not the Master, then who could he be?"

Almost like a Sea-Calming Divine Needle planted below, the small boat stubbornly remains unmoved in the storm.

Patch didn’t mind, but suddenly asked based on the conversation between the two.

"Could be."

This question seemed a bit demanding, after all, Fu Qian didn’t even know the name of this fake identity as the Master.

Yet he maintained that there’s an answer to every question, indicating that there’s no need to speak too early.

"Isn’t it quite normal for experts to possess several identities?"

...

Thought must not be rigid, why should someone so unbelievably strong not be the Master?

Even Cass, the President’s life experience shares that big shots are all about multiple identities.

At least from Fu Qian’s perspective, this Rebirth Club’s 001 employee’s disguise is quite impressive.

"Makes sense... So he is both the Master and someone else?"

Patch was unusually relaxed today, indeed changing his questioning while still keeping it sharp.

"I lean toward a mutual acquaintance, last time he just snatched a book from him, a name you told me—"

But Fu Qian still promptly responded, gesturing to a hefty tome.

"Transcription of Truth."

Patch supplemented the name, his gaze falling on the Master, reaching out once more.

Rip!

As if the skin was being peeled off, an eerie sound accompanied by a clear liquid spraying from the Master’s entire body.

The previously affluent physique tore apart, revealing another outline underneath.

Sallow complexion without beard or hair, skin texture like stacked gravel, presenting a familiar figure.

Brother Sha Ming, long time no see since Xi Yuan.

...

"It really is him? It seems ’duplicitous’ describes him well... Did you know back then?"

At that moment, Patch finally showed a look of surprise, recalling Fu Qian’s initial evaluation, regretfully praising.

"You didn’t know?"

Fu Qian coldly retorted, even the amazement at Ancient Supremes failed to offer him any emotional value.

No matter how realistic the tone was, as the one who pulled off the disguise, sensing won’t be zero like him.

If Patch couldn’t even recognize someone he’d recently met, then he’d really be hopeless.

"Wasn’t it just to cooperate with you, the display was impressive."

Sure enough, Patch instantly reverted to his casual demeanor.

"Your state seems rather special, recognizing people shouldn’t be easy, how did you affirm it was him?"

This demonstrates why you shouldn’t harbor chances before experts; the other party discerned the sensory issue in a single glance.

Patch’s question sounded complimentary but had underlying implications.

Without lifting a finger, the Mechanical Abandoned Prison King currently has zero perception, which has been detected.

"Not really sure, just the likelihood was greater."

While marveling, Fu Qian responded to Patch’s quiz-like inquiry.

"More interested in the law than Limb Attachment, unique methods can conceal the ranking, timid preferring others to take the lead, and really possessing the capability to guide the Codex’s reactivation... I don’t know many such people."

While listing them with his fingers, Fu Qian candidly noted this as an advantage of a homebody.

As for these reasons, they were not randomly concocted, the thought process was indeed sorted out methodically this way.

The recent Xi Yuan incident concluded with him taking the Transcription of Truth for safekeeping.

Brother Sha Ming might have successfully escaped, but he said back when faced that the situation might be rather formidable.

On one hand, losing a valuable tool like the Transcription of Truth, on the other, the Needle Witch may take measures due to concerns about the exposure.

As for retreating to Archipelago, one can say it’s both unexpected and logical.

Before the White Tower Codex was desecrated, it at least received recognition from a Superior Being.

For those pursuing the law route, there might be some waste utilization value.

Only that if the Master identity is indeed a disguise rather than camouflage, Lord Sha Ming’s actions—

The dignified leader of the Rebirth Club, not engaging in Limb Attachment but in code adherence?

As for the so-called outings, weren’t they about scheming for the Golden Tree in Xi Yuan’s area?

In any case, isn’t it a bit abstract—where is the abstraction?

The other leader of the Rebirth Club seems to be doing similar things.
