Chapter 885: Chapter 883: Rotting Flesh (Part 4) Chapter 885: Chapter 883: Rotting Flesh (Part 4) It was clear that Miss Wen had a rather good private relationship with Yuan Shan.

With such a powerful figure covering her, no wonder Wen Li was beaming with pride.

However, Chief Yuan must have had a hard time, too, taking the time to inform Wen Li, probably hoping she would help out where possible to reduce her own likelihood of mischief.

Leading isn’t easy!

Fu Qian inwardly sighed, assessing Wen Li, whom he hadn’t seen for a while.

The latter appeared quite well, clearly having completely recovered from the effects of the earring incident, and even her state after advancing to the Fifth Phase was smooth and stable.

“Has Old Master Wen gone back?”

While being led by Wen Li, Fu Qian naturally noticed that the place had become quite empty.

“He and my auntie thought about returning a few days ago. Later, when I saw he really had returned to normal, I didn’t insist on them staying.”

Wen Li hummed.

“Additionally, my father specially instructed me to apologize to you on his behalf before he left. He said there were many offenses in his words before.”

“In fact, I had already taken him twice before, but you weren’t there, and it was Chief Yuan who said you went to Ye Island.”

Old Master Wen still paid attention to propriety!

Fu Qian waved his hand, indicating it wasn’t something to worry about.

He wasn’t sure how much Wen Li had told him, but after freeing himself from the influence, he had clearly done some self-reflection.

In theory, Old Master Wen could have attributed everything to the influence of the Transcendent factor, but he still formally apologized.

Truly, his years of experience in the worldly society showed he understood things clearly.

…

“So, are you back this time for some purpose?”

Regarding Yuan Shan’s proactive information sharing, Wen Li seemed to realize it was overly enthusiastic.

Therefore, after brief pleasantries, she didn’t fuss over her own issues or ask for sparring partners and such. Instead, she got straight to the point.

“Is there anything I can help with?”

“Actually, Chief Yuan has already helped quite a bit,”
Fu Qian said matter-of-factly.

“She has high praise for your information gathering abilities and suggested that I might consult you for understanding Shangjing’s famed personalities–North’s Jiangen and South’s Tyler.”

“The young genius of the Jiang Family and that member of the Bloodline Clan?”

True to Yuan Shan’s praise, Wen Li quickly identified the right people after a moment of thought.

“Here in Shangjing, these two are often talked about, but ‘North’ and ‘South’–I’ve never really heard these terms…”

Wen Li’s expression was peculiar.

“To start with, I’ve never seen Jiangen in person. It seems he’s been rather reclusive due to some bottleneck issues, and later, he even moved out to live independently from his family.”

However, she quickly adjusted her expression and shared the information she had.

“His address is not hard to find. If you want it, I can have someone confirm it right now.”

“That would be fine,”
Fu Qian replied without hesitation.

Now he had an address, and it seemed the target lived alone.

“As for Tyler, his days are probably not too good right now.”

After giving a simple instruction to find someone, Wen Li’s delicate brows frowned slightly.

“Not long ago, Demigod Ember was executed directly, which has greatly impacted their family. The Night Watchman even intensified control as a result, which led to them facing backlash.”

“Honestly, I was shocked when I heard about it. It’s hard to imagine what they did to cause a Demigod who had lived for nearly a thousand years to be executed directly, without even a chance to defend themselves. Chief Yuan really is decisive in her actions!”

Wen Li was quite emotional as she spoke.

“The official statement from the Night Watchman is that the Gulad Family was involved in illegal operations concerning ordinary people, which were of a serious nature. But the specific details seem to be kept quiet by the large families who know about them!”

“Unauthorized sale of Aphrodisiac potions.”

Before Wen Li finished speaking, Fu Qian cut in.

As the saying goes, there should be fair exchange; one can’t simply take information from others for free.

…

Wen Li was clearly stunned by that answer, but she wouldn’t question Fu Qian’s words; for a moment, her gaze even became a bit vacant.

“The potion’s name is ‘Night Within Night’.”

Fu Qian nodded and roughly outlined the plan for Ember’s promotion.

“So that’s how it is, no wonder Chief Yuan dealt such a heavy hand.”

Wen Li exhaled, her face exuding an air of understanding and relief.

Although she was already a Transcendent herself, she greatly supported such almost stringent rules.

However, talking about it was one thing, but the thought of directly killing a Demigod was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

The man before her, knowledgeable about such detailed matters, was likely to have been directly involved in the process.

Wen Li mused to herself, but since Fu Qian did not bring it up himself, she politely refrained from probing further and instead continued the previous topic.

“Speaking of which, Tyler has recently been faced with a troublesome issue, which is also one of the headaches for Chief Yuan.”

“What’s going on?”

Fu Qian felt that Wen Li’s expression was slightly bizarre as she spoke.

“There have been multiple cases of people being picked off in drunken stupors.”

After hesitating for a moment, she indeed gave a surprisingly unexpected answer.

“Would that sort of thing also fall under the Night Watchman’s jurisdiction?”

Fu Qian was momentarily startled as well.

He understood the gist of picking off the intoxicated victims, but the confusion lay in how such matters found their way to Yuan Shan.

“Because the perpetrator is suspected to be a Transcendent.”

“All the victims woke up in hotels the next day, stark naked with no signs of violation on their bodies…”

“I see.”

Fu Qian instantly understood.

“Stark naked and unviolated are considered mutually exclusive? So the suspicion of Transcendent involvement arises?”

“Even if that’s the case, with so many Transcendents around, why would it fall solely on Tyler’s head?”

“Because some of the victims had bite marks on their necks, giving the impression of failed vampiric feedings.”

Wen Li looked helpless.

“Add to that nocturnal activities, with the target evidently very skilled at hiding in darkness, leaving no trace throughout the ordeal, and vampires have always shown an interest in ordinary women.”

“In any case, without exception, the victims all ended up seeking out the Night Watchman, and the most well-known young member of the Bloodline Clan in Shangjing is Tyler.”

“I see.”

Fu Qian pondered thoughtfully.

While Wen Li found this information rather odd, he found it to be quite an interesting revelation.

One must not be rigid in their thinking; his current mission was to sabotage Jiang En’s promotion ceremony.

And as everyone knows, rituals are known to be incredibly diverse and can include anything.

What if the real suspect behind this series of bizarre acts wasn’t Tyler, but instead someone as infamous as him?

Moreover, Wen Li omitted another reason why Tyler had become the target of collective animosity: in addition to various suspected vampire characteristics, all major organizations were looking for ways to spite the Gulad Clan.

With such incidents delivered to their doorstep, regardless of the truth, it was only natural to add fuel to the fire.

Overall, it seems like Brother Tyler must indeed be having a hard time right now.

The next moment, Fu Qian thought it over.

“Are the clothes I ordered last time still there?”

“Of course, do you need me to bring them to you?”

Wen Li’s eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly.

“It would be no trouble, and also, I need a mask.”
