Chapter 785: Chapter 783 The Secret Miracle_1 Chapter 785: Chapter 783 The Secret Miracle_1 Under the influence of Nepheli’s methods, Brother Zetian had completely looked like a walking corpse.
Even when the three of them began to fight just now, he stood there dumbfounded without moving an inch.
So when faced with Fu Qian’s sudden assault, he nearly didn’t utter a sound and was dragged back.
After being forcefully pulled through the mist, his condition seemed quite poor, with a fierce and distorted expression.
However, Fu Qian didn’t care about it at all and directly pushed him down onto a chair.
Upon closer inspection, that was even the one Nepheli had been sitting on before.
At almost the same time, as Su Gao struck down with another sword, the mist dissipated at a speed more than ten times faster than before.
Of course, it wasn’t that Su Gao had suddenly evolved tenfold.
The next moment, Fu Qian looked at the figure that turned from illusion to reality not far away and nodded in satisfaction.
“It’s still early; please sit for a while longer,” he said.
As he evaluated the Goddess Envoy with a strong green tea essence, Fu Qian pointed to the side.
“You might just need to switch to another spot though,” he suggested.
“How did you know?” Nepheli asked her tone frosty, appearing to have no intention of sitting down.
“Too contrived,” Fu Qian remarked curtly, losing patience and without further ado, pointed directly at Zetian.
“I’m the type of person who always likes to ask why.”
“This scene today, at first glance, seems like you brought a co-conspirator with a hidden agenda to expose my true face, which would seem logical and justified.”
“But in reality, as a Divine Envoy, you only need to mention the conspiracy, and my only choice would be to believe you; there’s no way I would gamble that you’re trying to deceive me.”
“Thus, for a Divine Envoy to come knocking at my door, and yet to bring along someone who is just a burden with side effects–it’s superfluous action that compels me to question your true intent. Surely it wasn’t just to announce for you?”
“Zetian’s earlier hysteria seemed genuine enough, but your subsequent scolding–if it had come from the PR, Xiao Ying, it would have seemed natural. But as a Second Phase Transcendent far superior to others, if you were truly dissatisfied, would you need to speak up? That statement seemed directed at me all along.”
“Regarding the motive…”
Fu Qian stretched out two fingers and plucked something from Zetian’s pocket.
It was a flower carved from what seemed to be gray crystal, with four petals embracing each other in a bizarre pattern, the stem below straight and leafless.
Yet even though it looked artificial, it was indeed a real flower, and one could even detect a whiff of an intoxicating fragrance.
“If I am not mistaken, there should also be a similar object placed in my tearoom right now?”
As Fu Qian twirled the flower between his fingers, he continued speaking to Nepheli.
“Whether it was sending him to make tea, or after I made a shocking revelation, you directly cornered the person–it was probably all to cover up the discreet arrangement. Of course, that mist must also serve a purpose… Considering our overly sensitive topic of conversation, finding the right moment to express shock would be quite easy; it obviously all was premeditated.”
“The purpose is also quite simple: I believe that there is probably a similar object on you, which would correspond with the two items located at three different positions. Then, all you need to do is recite a special ‘incantation’ at the right moment to make the miracle happen, right?” he surmised, looking at the expressionless Nepheli.
“And that is likely a miracle connected to the authority of Divine Beings, confident enough to take on two Demigods in one fell swoop,” he mused.
“Quite a splendid tactic, and even the materials used contained no trace of Transcendent aura, probably to maximize the chances of going unnoticed, right?”
“The only pity is that the target you’re dealing with is also a researcher, particularly since I had just encountered similar methods not long ago.”
“Therefore, after realizing the contrivance of the situation, I was closely watching Brother Zetian’s actions and soon realized that the two of you, along with my tea room, almost formed a perfect equilateral triangle.”
“So as the master of the house, the thing I did was quite simple, just thoughtfully seeking out topics of conversation, never letting the atmosphere turn cold. Of course, in your view, it was an attempt to recite a spell being repeatedly interrupted.”
“After all, from what I understand, the core of a miracle is akin to a plea, with extremely strict requirements for attitude and form, so even silent recitation should be taken seriously, even for a Divine Envoy.”
“Good… very good!”
As Fu Qian explained his actions, Nepheli’s eyes remained fixed on his face, finally nodding slowly.
“Mr. Darcy never ceases to surprise.”
“You flatter me.”
“You are right, it was indeed a miracle, and there truly is something special in your tearoom.”
“So, may I inquire, what would be the effect if the miracle were successful?”
“You would be exiled to a temporal rift for a period of time.”
Nepheli seemed unbothered to reveal this.
“Even a Demigod would not be able to escape in a short period of time.”
“Understood, although we’ve talked so much, we are still considered unstable elements, aren’t we?”
A look of dismay spread across Fu Qian’s face.
“Sorry, even though the chat was enjoyable, I still have to fulfill my promise to Yasui Tokiyuki.”
“And given your performance, you indeed are an unstable element.”
“But now the unstable elements have not been eliminated.”
Fu Qian waved his hand, his tone indefinably smug, seemingly unconcerned about being targeted by a Divine Envoy.
Against such a high-level opponent, Fu Qian could not afford to take her lightly, and from their two encounters, it was clear she had many tricks up her sleeve.
But what of it?
If she had a way to achieve her goal with less trouble, why would she bother with so many interruptions from him?
Obviously, she did not feel confident about handling two Demigods quietly and without a trace using other means.
So, at this very moment, what Goddess Envoy Nepheli needed to consider was how to handle the aftermath.
“Today I’ve obtained a lot of interesting information; likely you have done the same, so I think I should trust your ability to analyze pros and cons.”
As she spoke, Nepheli made no move, yet Zetian had already sprung to his feet.
“I wish you both a fruitful time on Ye Island.”
Without much ado, Nepheli turned and left, not giving Fu Qian another glance.
This method of resolution was quite abrupt!
Watching Nepheli, who had kept her gaze fixed on Su Gao the entire time, Fu Qian confirmed a suspicion–she seemed to have some discrimination against males.
Her attitude now closely matched her behavior from her previous infiltration.

In this regard, for the sake of baiting him and Su Gao, Nepheli actually endured being with him behind the same curtain, which was indeed no small feat.
“Her words seem to have some credibility.”
After a moment, Su Gao withdrew his gaze to look at Fu Qian and shared his judgment.
“Yes, which means our previous speculation was correct: Yasui Tokiyuki really wants to take things a step further.”
“So how should we deal with this?”
