Facing an Ancient God for a Year-Chapter 342 - : Unclean Ecstasy (Part 4)_1
Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Unclean Ecstasy (Part 4)_1
Although he’s a bit younger, the Night Watchman in front of me is not weak.
The swordplay just now was quite potent; it feels like it must be at least Sixth Phase.
Furthermore, the weapon is not ordinary.
Fu Qian looked at the long sword in his hand.
After that Air Bullet hit, the sword-wielding person’s palm was nearly torn apart, but the sword itself seemed unharmed.
A young Middle Tier with a fine sword, could it come from the Academy?
...
The Swordsmanship Department? A senior to Ji Liushuang?
“Who are you?”
After the previous attack, the young Night Watchman clearly knew the score and didn’t dare to advance, only standing at a distance, fully vigilant and with a look as if facing a formidable enemy.
“Take off the mask!”
“So, you knew nothing just now and just went ahead and tried to chop people up? Is this how you Night Watchmen operate?”
Seeing this, Fu Qian also didn’t continue to attack and asked with a smile instead.
“As a Transcendent among ordinary people, you’re slaughtering at will during a gathering; what excuse could you possibly have?”
The young Night Watchman pointed at the limbs scattered around the dance floor.
“Are you sure? For a Transcendent, does this count as ‘slaughtering at will’?”
Fu Qian looked at him.
“And even if I did do these things, have you not heard of the principle of subjective and objective unity in sentencing? Just declaring guilt like that?”
“As special law enforcers, you can’t just train your muscles; you should also strengthen your theoretical studies.”
…
After Fu Qian finished speaking, the Night Watchman fell silent for a moment.
Indeed, it’s impossible to discern this person’s full strength; the only certainty is that he is much stronger than I am.
Such an individual, in front of a group of ordinary people, is more than a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
If he really let loose and started to slaughter, the scene would definitely be more than what’s in front right now.
“What exactly is going on here?”
Thinking this, the Night Watchman relaxed his stance and softened his tone.
After all, he was very willing to communicate with a thug willing to talk.
Right now, being the only one here, if this character really started to act, he couldn’t see a way to maintain the situation.
“It’s simple.”
In response to the Night Watchman’s inquiry, Fu Qian’s posture was very relaxed.
“Basically, I accidentally went to the wrong place and disturbed the gentlemen and ladies at the gathering.
Then, as I was about to leave, I was discovered. Out of certain considerations, they tried to deal with me violently, and I was forced to defend myself.”
Self-defense…
As Fu Qian finished, the Night Watchman’s face involuntarily twitched.
A Transcendent claiming such a thing could only be described as shameless.
If you just stood there and let them hit you, could they even harm a hair on you?
“Even if you were forced to injure someone, was your response not a bit too harsh?”
“Harsh?”
Fu Qian pointed to the two security personnel who hadn’t had time to withdraw.
“Did you ever consider that this might be the scenario with the least amount of bloodshed possible?”
…
The Night Watchman still had some logical ability and after a pause, he began to understand the meaning behind Fu Qian’s words.
He wasn’t blind; the state of the people around him made it easy to imagine some scenes not suitable for the public eye.
These naturally fell under personal freedom, but given the behavior of these people, the likelihood of violent handling upon realisation that a stranger witnessed them was indeed not low.
Especially not knowing that the stranger was a Transcendent!
If that was indeed the case, the thug’s seemingly bloody method of deterring the crowd could indeed reduce further conflict.
If he had been too soft-handed… in the eyes of these people, the security personnel were utterly disposable.
There seemed to be some logic to it, but this was only one side of the story. If everything were taken at this guy’s word, he might as well be a peace ambassador.
Seeing the other party frown and remain silent, Fu Qian patted his head as if he suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, right. Although it’s generally uncommon for someone to impersonate a Night Watchman, shouldn’t you identify yourself?”
“Hu Mingyi, member of the Night Watchmen.”
Although logically at a disadvantage for the moment, this person was not one to be pushed around.
In response to Fu Qian’s question, he merely uttered a name, coldly.

“If you don’t believe me, you can verify it with someone at any time.”
“Anyway, it’s your turn now, my questions next, and I hope you’ll answer them honestly—”
“Let me ask.”
Hu Mingyi had not yet finished speaking when someone interrupted him from nearby.
Has she finally arrived!
Hearing this familiar voice, Fu Qian looked up toward the entrance.
Professor Lanaya, with a solemn countenance, was making her way through the crowd.
It really is the Academy’s residence, isn’t it?
As the head of the Punishment Department, she probably didn’t wander off-campus often.
Meeting Lanaya’s intimidating gaze, Fu Qian responded with a smile and a nod.
It really is you!
In her returning glance, Fu Qian saw a deep sense of annoyance.
Lanaya’s previous remark had undoubtedly attracted the attention of the entire room, and as she made her way to Fu Qian, numerous eyes followed her.
It must be said, comparisons are inevitable.
The two mature, beautiful women who were just passionately kissing paled in comparison to the brown-haired, blue-eyed Lanaya—they instantly lost their luster.
Beyond that, the absolute control over her body resulted in a coordination that gave her every move an ease unattainable by ordinary folk.
“Professor Lanaya.”
The first one to speak, however, was Hu Mingyi, his face one of surprise.
“You arrived so quickly!”
“I was nearby when I got your message,” Lanaya replied succinctly, without further explanation.
So that was it!
Although it was just a simple exchange of greetings, Fu Qian could infer quite a bit of information from it.
Ever since her arrival, Fu Qian had wondered how Lanaya could have arrived so swiftly.
Now, hearing Hu Mingyi’s address to her, it was almost certain that this Night Watchman was a graduate of the Academy.
And upon receiving the message, Hu Mingyi’s first action was to inform the head of the Punishment Department.
Which is why they’d almost arrived back-to-back.
However, this raised a question about Hu Mingyi’s actions.
If he was worried he couldn’t handle the situation, shouldn’t he have called for more backup from the Night Watchmen instead of contacting someone from his alma mater?
—He knew he was dealing with someone from the Academy, so he specifically informed Lanaya.
That must be it.
Fu Qian nodded to himself silently, looking around.
This person who had arrived clearly wasn’t aware of the situation here, and the likelihood he recognized Fu Qian was extremely small.
Those who recognized him must be someone else.
Sure enough.
Fu Qian’s gaze quickly landed on a figure in the crowd.
This middle-aged man, lean in stature, was using others as cover to stealthily observe the goings-on here.
Jia Yi.
Fu Qian had to expend some effort to search his memory before recalling this name.
The person in charge for the Yuan Financial Group in this area; he had dealt with him during the last warehouse robbery incident.
However, in comparison to their last encounter, this man’s complexion was clearly worse. Though not to the point of decay, there was a sleaziness about him.
Realizing he’d been spotted by Fu Qian, Jia Yi, with only half his face visible from the crowd, involuntarily shuddered.
