Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 726: Chapter 724 Continuous Surprise_1 Chapter 726: Chapter 724 Continuous Surprise_1 “`

Like Su Gao, Fu Qian didn’t raise any more objections about the need to keep up with Kagetsu Kana.

On the one hand, Kagetsu Kana’s will was undoubtedly quite firm, and it wouldn’t be easy to change her mind.

Meanwhile, the individual of no low rank who was lurking in the shadows found it risky to activate the Decree Residue in a place with such a large crowd, as it would easily expose any anomalies.

He was, after all, a pawn of the Siren Group.

And if he didn’t use that thing, directly ordering the two not to follow would certainly lead to some intense interactions.

The likely result of that would be that the two of them received unnecessary attention, increasing their chances of facing an even more tragic fate.

Taking all this into account, Fu Qian quite contentedly accepted the observation subjects that had presented themselves.

“Fate really is wonderful! When I met Mr. Darcy and Violetta, I felt that something good would happen today.”

Having successfully “taken control” of the situation, Kagetsu Kana beamed with satisfaction about today’s outing and didn’t even try to hide her fondness for the title of Dark Fairy.

“Yes, fate is always quite subtle,”

Fu Qian agreed with her casually as he watched her interact with Takagi.

It’s just a pity that sometimes, many people have no idea what their true destiny is.

Considering her outstanding performance just now, someone had already approached Kagetsu Kana to register her information. Amid the casual conversation, the group of four did not linger and proceeded to head outside.

Wherever she went, Kagetsu Kana was undoubtedly the center of attention, with people clapping and even whistling non-stop.

Of course, this lively scene wasn’t entirely harmonious.

As Kagetsu Kana’s male companion, Brother Takagi was in an undoubtedly awkward position, struggling even to maintain his stiff smile.

Especially when he saw Kagetsu Kana grinning and cozying up to Fu Qian, he wanted to join the conversation but couldn’t find an opportunity.

Thinking about the at least three hours of journey ahead, having to deal with this guy and his female partner, Takagi couldn’t help feeling dejected.

His negative emotions were quite obvious, but regrettably, neither Fu Qian nor Kagetsu Kana had any interest in attending to his feelings, not to mention Su Gao.

…

“It looks the same as it did just now.”

Heading back the way they came, once the four emerged from Mist Society Temple, Su Gao sighed quietly and remarked as she observed the bustling crowd.

“That’s because it’s still early.”

Kagetsu Kana quickly chimed in with a gentle smile.

“It’s said that until the evening, people come from all over—ah!”

She didn’t finish her sentence before she screamed, her body leaning and tilting as she fell down.

The stone steps outside the temple were indeed narrow, and in trying to avoid an oncoming crowd, she misstepped and lost her balance in an instant.

“Be careful!”

Luckily, she fell in the direction of Takagi, who, though a bit distracted, reacted immediately when she cried out and reached out to steady her.

This unexpected incident also seemed to snap Takagi out of his daze; the next moment, he held Kagetsu Kana, gently admonishing her.

“Don’t just talk without looking.”

“Yes,”

Kagetsu Kana, having recovered from the shock, now seemed to realize she had gotten ahead of herself and nodded submissively.

“It’s my fault, too.”

Fu Qian said with a smile, casting a discreet glance over Su Gao.

Both he and Su Gao could have certainly reacted to Kagetsu Kana’s mishap.

But in the end, they both chose surprisingly similarly—they didn’t lend a hand.

Fu Qian realized that Su Gao felt the same way he did—this was too much of a coincidence.

Su Gao’s remark as she walked out the door wasn’t idle talk; what she meant was that the hidden figure was still watching them closely.

“`

While Kagetsu Kana was chatting lively with herself, she accidentally fell and tilted towards Takagi’s direction, and Takagi just so happened to react quickly enough to catch her.

All of this could certainly be explained as a coincidence, but for actual combatants like Fu Qian and Su Gao, they are always quite sensitive to all coincidences.

They didn’t even need to provide absolute proof; they simply tried to think in reverse. What if it wasn’t a coincidence?

If it wasn’t a coincidence, then the result would be that some force caused the accident to occur, ultimately interrupting her interaction with Kagetsu Kana, while Takagi seemed to regain some spirit.

Could this force be from that gentlemen at Yasui Corp?

If so, it would signify that the other party’s attitude is quite proactive.

“Thinking about it, I also don’t understand why I would get such a result; I can hardly be considered a celebrity.”

It proved that Kagetsu Kana was quick at mental adjustments.

She soon stabilized her mind and continued to talk with a smile.

In fact, you are already quite famous.

Fu Qian thought to himself, but theoretically, what Kagetsu Kana said was indeed true.

Although she had many admirers and her fame had spread far, this lady truly couldn’t be considered a public figure, so it shouldn’t have been so exaggerated.

Fu Qian’s understanding was that this thing might not only look at quantity but also at quality.

Although it was currently uncertain what exactly “Dirge” took as a basis of judgment, it had to have some convincing power to interest so many people.

Thus, the reason Kagetsu Kana received such a result, according to Fu Qian’s understanding, was that although not many people knew her, the level of impression was probably very exaggerated.

“Perhaps it’s because you leave such an excessively deep impression on people.”

Fu Qian analyzed seriously, but to an onlooker, it certainly fell within the category of flattery.

Kagetsu Kana’s brows and eyes smiled again for a moment.

“Mr. Darcy has a point, and I can attest to that.”

However, after the ups and downs just now, Brother Takagi regained some of his previous calm and composure, and naturally joined the conversation.

Hehe!

Kagetsu Kana undoubtedly appeared to be in excellent spirits, covering her mouth and giggling lightly.

However, despite the fact that the young woman named Violetta had been silent since a while ago, the indescribably harmonious coordination between the two made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

A subtle urge dominated Kagetsu Kana, leading her to subconsciously want to break this harmony.

Ah!

In the midst of this delicate atmosphere, suddenly there were exclamations.

This time, there was more than one.

Looking in the direction of the noise, they saw a rock about the size of a coconut hurtling down from the mountain, already dangerously close.

In a reflexive dodge, Kagetsu Kana hastily stepped back, but a few drops of blood splattered onto the ground.

A long cut had appeared on one side of Takagi’s neck.

This was the result of his immediate evasive action.

“This…”

Looking at the rock that had rolled aside, Takagi touched his neck and inevitably breathed somewhat heavily.

“I’m fine.”

Nevertheless, he still showed considerable composure and immediately signaled to Kagetsu Kana not to worry.

“Just missed it by a bit, should I call it lucky or unlucky?”

The next moment he even laughed at himself.

“The wound isn’t very deep, but it looks like I still need to find a doctor.”
