Chapter 737: Chapter 735: The Fifth Layer_1 Chapter 737: Chapter 735: The Fifth Layer_1 Considering the uniqueness of this trip, Fu Qian had taken out the Witch’s Royal Mask beforehand and carried it with him.
At this moment, given the increased likelihood of a visit from beings above Demigod Level, this item was undoubtedly suitable for use.
But there was a problem, which was that he had already shown his face several times while wearing it, and given the mask’s overly exquisite design, it was somewhat recognizable.
Turning the mask into a calling card was not a good thing at all.
Fortunately, Fu Qian had experience dealing with this–wasn’t covering it with another layer an easy solution for its recognizability?
He could even change it according to his preferences at any time.
As a result, his current state was Fu Qian’s face wearing the Emissary’s Mask to become Fang Xun, then transformed into the likeness of Darcy Crawford, on top of this donning the Witch’s Mask, with a simple white mask purchased from the market as the outermost layer.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
I have physically achieved the fifth layer.
…
As for the idea of aura, Su Gao of course knew that Fu Qian was talking nonsense.
However, the mask that Fu Qian picked did look quite nice.
For a moment she did not speak, and to her surprise, Fu Qian actually took out money and bought that particularly unique yet commonplace mask.
Next, as when they first arrived on the narrow path, Fu Qian led the way home with a leisurely demeanor.
Given that the snacks provided by Mrs. Delin were quite exquisite, neither of them felt much like eating, only casually buying a few skewers of dango to taste.
“Would you like to rest a bit? We might be having some guests over later.”
By the time they returned home, it was almost noon, and while watching Su Gao, Fu Qian asked and then took out another mask.
The poor lady hadn’t slept at all last night.
“Okay.”
Su Gao looked at the obviously much more exquisite mask without asking too much and readily agreed.
She was also mentally prepared for the current situation.
This was certainly not a real vacation; their current predicament could be described as fraught with both opportunities and dangers, but more straightforwardly, it was full of crises.
The conflict with Takahashi Yaehiro from the day before surely wouldn’t go unnoticed by Yasui Corp.
“Considering the guests’ status might be quite high, I’ll make some minor preparations.”
Fu Qian had no intention to keep this matter secret from Su Gao and shook the Witch’s Mask before directly placing it over his face the next moment.
“How miraculous!”
For a moment, even student Su Gao couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.
“I can’t sense any Transcendent aura at all.”
That was to be expected, out of the five layers on his face, two were specifically for concealing aura.
Fu Qian casually adjusted the mask and put on the newly purchased one, reminding her with a ding.
“Just perform normally later, and there’s no need to rush into action if we’re exposed.”
“Understood, I’ll go rest first.”
Su Gao naturally knew the power of this move by Fu Qian.
Thanks to this remarkable mask, he could perfectly maintain the original persona of Darcy, and even if a Demigod arrived, his cover wouldn’t be blown too quickly.
And a Demigod hiding on the side ready to strike would undoubtedly be much more efficient if needed.
…
As it turned out, the world was full of unexpected turns.
Not long after Su Gao went upstairs to rest, Fu Qian welcomed the visitor he had planned for.
However, this guest was not the mysterious master he had envisioned but a familiar face.
“Mr. Darcy, sorry to disturb you again.”
Asao Sakura, whom he hadn’t seen for a day, smiled sweetly, wearing a beige dress that made her look both capable and sexy.
As a member of the public relations team, she maintained her image quite well.
Yet, from the moment she saw Fu Qian, her expression couldn’t help but become a bit stiffer.
There was no way around it, after all, not everyone wears a mask at home.
“It’s alright, I was quite idle anyway, and I’m honored to have young visitors come by.”
Fu Qian, emulating Delin from the morning, spoke with a voice that had experienced the vicissitudes of life and didn’t even ask why the other party was there.
…
Sitting down across from Fu Qian, Asao Sakura recognized the mask as the common type seen on the streets. Although it felt odd, she still maintained a proper smile.
According to the latest news, this guy might not be entirely a Siren’s chess piece, and even seemed to have some say in their actions, which was enough to make her discard any contempt.
After a few seconds’ pause, without waiting for Fu Qian to ask, she had no choice but to take the initiative.
“Where is Lady Violetta?”
“Upstairs resting, do you need her?”
“No need, it’s all the same.”
Asao Sakura waved her hands dismissively.
“I heard that you left Detour Lane yesterday?”
Your people virtually follow you even to the restroom, and you’re asking me if I left?
But it seems Old Master Takahashi talks quite fast.
Asao Sakura wouldn’t have come to verify this trivial matter herself; she must be feeling the pressure.
“Yes, we went to the Mist Society Temple.”
Fu Qian responded lazily and skillfully slammed a badge onto the table.
“It’s a rare achievement, there are not many on Ye Island.”
Asao Sakura glanced at it, and as expected, showed no surprise, astutely commenting.
“Oh, and what’s the rarest achievement?”
Since he mentioned it, Fu Qian casually asked.
“The highest known is Depth Seven.”
Asao Sakura smiled slightly.
“In terms of rarity, this is even scarcer than High Tier Transcendents.”
“I see.”
Depth Seven, translated to Demigod Level, wondering who had such an ill reputation.
With the mask hiding his expression, and anticipating another moment of silence, Asao Sakura finally gritted her teeth.
“Mr. Darcy today, it seems, has had contact with the Night Watchman?”
Is this about this morning’s incident?
That would be logical, yet isn’t this approach too cautious?
Doubts began to form in Fu Qian’s mind, as it seemed to somewhat diminish the King of Ye Island’s demeanor.
If it was just for this purpose, it’s no surprise Carlos didn’t come.
After all, being a peak Fourth Phase, a Yasui Corp doctor, even in the most uncomfortable situations, such tasks were too demeaning.
“Yes, but for that, you really need to ask Violetta since I was only in attendance incidentally.”
While contemplating, Fu Qian gestured upstairs and Su Gao, who had been paying attention to the movements downstairs, immediately came down.
“Hello.”
After nodding slightly to greet Asao Sakura, Su Gao sat down beside her.
Since her true identity had already been “exposed” by Carlos, she didn’t need to exert so much effort acting in front of Yasui Corp’s personnel anymore.

“Lady Violetta.”
However, for Asao Sakura, Su Gao’s presence was clearly more imposing in this state.
After exchanging greetings, being stared at by those amber eyes, she suddenly didn’t know how to begin her inquiry.
Regarding today’s mission, she was also quite perplexed. With the current situation, even if the Sirens and the Night Watchmen really did reach some sort of tacit agreement, why would they tell her?
Nonetheless, Carlos was clearly in a bad mood, compelling her to probe no matter what, leaving her no choice but to make the trip here.
