Chapter 733: Chapter 731 Longing for Life_1 Chapter 733: Chapter 731 Longing for Life_1 All in all, the trip to Mist Society Temple further confirmed the speculation that the King of Ye Island might be related to the Native Council.

And Fu Qian, too, developed a considerable interest in this particular game.

However, considering his current persona, Fu Qian waited a little with Su Gao, showing a bit of respect for Takahashi Yaehiro before setting off to return home.

Though that move would hardly affect a demigod.

Even so, by the time he reached home, the sky had completely darkened.

Everything was just as it had been when he left, and no one was waiting for him at home.

This was basically the ideal scenario in the plan, a calm under a balanced power situation.

Fu Qian was naturally very satisfied with this and enjoyed a good night’s sleep with peace of mind.

And as the behind-the-scenes operator from Siren Group, Su Gao was naturally on full alert the whole time.

…
“Lady Suzune, do you need me for something this early?”

After an uneventful night, the next morning Fu Qian looked at the visiting Suzune, a face of surprise on his face.

Compared to yesterday, she seemed considerably more emotionally stable, perhaps Captain Lego had been working on her mindset after she returned.

“Good morning, Mr. Darcy. However, I’m not here to see you.”

Suzune greeted him with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

“I came to see Violetta. Is she here?”

Was she worried that Su Gao might have already been taken care of by him?

Fu Qian shook his head inwardly, and right then, the sound of someone coming downstairs reached them, Su Gao, who had been paying attention to the movements below, appeared in time.

“Lady Suzune is looking for me?”

As she spoke, Su Gao’s slender eyes narrowed slightly, giving the impression that she had just woken up.

She really was unaware of the dangers of the world, being able to sleep in such a place!

This scene made Suzune unable to help but criticize in her mind.

“Didn’t you want to meet that retired Transcendent? Captain Lego just asked me to check with you if you’re available today.”

As expected, that was the reason.

It appeared that even Captain Lego was somewhat worried about Su Gao’s safety.

Indeed, he had quite an infamous reputation.

Fu Qian felt a moment of sentiment.

“Really? That’s great!”

Upon hearing the news brought by Suzune, Su Gao seemed to wake up quite a bit.

But the next moment, Fu Qian still caught her subconscious glance thrown his way.

“Mr. Darcy, are we free today?”

Uh…

Fu Qian glanced at Suzune and unsurprisingly found a look of unwelcome on her face.

Recalling the leader-like stature of Delin, he nodded a moment later.

“Sure.”

Takahashi Yaehiro once said to go with the flow.

…
As for Fu Qian coming along, Suzune was clearly displeased, but this seemed to be within her expectations, and after a slight hesitation, she ultimately didn’t say anything.

Considerately giving Su Gao ten minutes to get ready, they soon met with Captain Lego, who was acting as their driver, under Suzune’s guidance.

“I’ve already spoken to Delin about your matter; he said he’s very much looking forward to it.”

Captain Lego seemed in a good mood, smiling as he gestured for Su Gao to get in the car.

“It just so happens that I’m off today.”

“Thank you.”

Su Gao politely thanked him and got into the car.

Compared to them, Fu Qian received a rather cold reception. Captain Lego greeted him with a forced smile and then paid him no further attention.

Fortunately, Fu Qian was quite self-aware and chose to simply close his eyes and rest.

…

The place where Delin had retired to was not isolated at all.

Along the way, Fu Qian noticed the gradually more luxurious buildings around him and inwardly praised the retired Transcendent for having accumulated quite a fortune.

From Captain Lego’s introduction, he also learned that the Night Watchman’s residence was located in the same area, which gave Fu Qian a greater understanding of Delin’s choice.

Having narrowly escaped death, Delin apparently took his security very seriously.

It wasn’t long before Lego turned the car into a small courtyard where a middle-aged couple came out to greet them upon hearing the car.

At first glance, the man leading the way was none other than a somewhat portly Delin. Even the firm lines on his face had softened considerably.

By his side was an intellectual-looking middle-aged woman with long black hair and a gentle gaze, slightly younger than him.

And without a doubt, she was a normal person.

“You’ve arrived.”

It was evident from Delin’s leisurely demeanor and his greeting to Lego that he was quite content with his retirement life.

“You must be Violetta, right? Lego mentioned you. Welcome!”

The next moment, his gaze shifted to Su Gao.

“Honestly, I’m surprised that a young person like you would take an interest in our kind of life.”

Delin did not seem to avoid speaking of his past, likely having never concealed his history from his family.

Given the current atmosphere on Ye Island, there really was no need for concealment.

“Darcy Crawford.”

After greeting Su Gao and the others, Delin finally turned his gaze to Fu Qian’s face.

However, after staring blankly at Fu Qian for a moment, he simply repeated Fu Qian’s name and turned his head away, not even bothering with a greeting.

This was the attitude one ought to have in retirement!

Fu Qian silently praised him, feeling no ill feelings whatsoever.

Such undisguised disdain might seem too blunt for some.

But with a little thought, one would realize that at the moment, his own identity was merely that of a rich and powerful scoundrel.

Perhaps, thanks to the order established by the Night Watchman, Transcendents couldn’t harm him directly.

But on the other hand, Delin had no reason to care about what he thought, as he couldn’t possibly harm Delin in any way either.

…

Considering the fine weather and confirming that Su Gao and his companion didn’t need breakfast, Mrs. Delin suggested they simply have tea in the courtyard.

Su Gao naturally had no objections and swiftly, under Delin’s invitation, the four visitors settled themselves.

Mrs. Delin brought the tea set over and started making tea with practiced ease, her movements elegant and composed.

Previously thinking that Lady Suzune was skilled at tea ceremony, the difference, however, was clearly perceptible in comparison.

Captain Lego and Lady Suzune, who were obviously regular guests, acted quite at ease.

And after a brief casual chat, the conversation quickly moved on to tales of their dramatic past.

Su Gao showed considerable interest and listened very attentively.

“Young people always have wonderful imaginations, but believe me, many things that sound interesting are far less so when you’re actually involved,” said Delin, taking a sip of tea with a long sigh.

“We once held such disdain for this kind of life,” he continued.

“Yet now, every day, I am grateful that I made the right choice.”

“I can imagine. I’ve heard from Captain Lego about the major crisis you all faced together, which led to changes in your lives afterwards,” Su Gao slowly nodded as Delin spoke with evident emotion.

“May I ask when that happened?”

The next moment, she naturally continued with her question.
