Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2680: Chapter 2675: True Face

It even happened right here.

At the Late Night Bookstore, the wooden platform, the Vampire Lady sat quietly across, listening to the bookstore owner telling the story of the Revelation.

The so-called Ancient Angel naturally referred to Selana.

And that title wasn’t even Fu Qian’s original creation; it was plagiarized from Greedy Worm and their creation during Moore’s time.

And the reason the Greedy Worms got this Inspiration was because they filmed the scene mentioned in the "Revelation" right in this bookstore.

To achieve a better effect, they even specifically found Miss Wen, the Chief Emotion Officer, to pair it with the Ecstasy after receiving a blessing.

In the end, the effect seemed too good; the Greedy Worms not only believed it but even helped to come up with a title.

And that title, the concerned party had just heard it a day ago.

"...Why would the Ancient Angel have the ability to summon the Death Overlord?"

As expected, Selana’s reaction was meaningful. After a moment of silence, she didn’t dwell on the title but became curious about the Angel’s power.

"Because it’s the Messenger of the Death Overlord, walking the world spreading His name, that’s what it says in the Revelation."

Fu Qian once again displayed that reminiscing posture, as if reciting from some ancient tome.

"So, just what is this Revelation, and how do you know about it?"

It seemed as if answered and not answered, Selana finally could not resist asking about the Revelation and where Fu Qian got his information.

"Actually, you should ask me what else I know to get more valuable information."

To this, Fu Qian gave a light chuckle, seemingly moved by the other’s sincerity, with hints of advice in his words.

"If you take me as a problem to deal with, what is it you wish for me to tell you?"

...

The Vampire Lady stayed silent for that moment.

After all, what the bookstore owner said was indeed sensible.

Are you questioning me? And then asking me to tell you something that might pose a threat or satisfy some suspicion?

In the worldly society, such naive emotions indeed shouldn’t exist.

Even if the other person spoke, assessing the truth would be hard, rendering it less valuable... One might as well take this opportunity to expand one’s knowledge.

"That’s right..."

A long sigh, Selana finally admitted her lesson learned.

"You—"

However, just as she opened her mouth, she froze there, staring at the changing face behind the counter.

In the blink of an eye, the bookstore owner had changed appearance.

Stranger and younger.

"But since you sincerely asked, I will mercifully tell you some things."

And it couldn’t be denied; certain playful expressions felt even more natural on this face, naturally more mocking too.

"This is my true appearance."

Pointing to a certain academic leader of the Heaven’s Commencement Institute, Fu Qian continued to speak candidly.

"Professor Fu?"

At that moment, Selana seemed to understand a lot, hesitated for a breath, and directly blurted out a title.

I mean, a young and mysterious demigod, how could they not attract attention?

How could a family as ancient as this one, over a thousand years, have such a closed intelligence network?

"Just call me Fu Qian."

Just one look at the true face, Selana managed to directly unmask the identity and profession.

For such performance, Fu Qian was not at all surprised, merely indicated that since it wasn’t working hours, no need for formal titles.

Since a long time ago, people had mentioned a suddenly appearing unknown demigod.

A low-profile identity, strong power, ambiguous purpose... Even without any vested interests, experienced worldly people would list all heroes of the world.

Not to mention the numerous interactions between the bookstore owner Fang Xun and this Ancient Bloodline Clan.

In such circumstances, if there were no speculations about possible identities, it would be too unprofessional.

As for Professor Fu, who has recently emerged as an academic giant, even if he were low-key, obtaining a portrait wouldn’t be too difficult.

"Truly, my apologies!"

Here, the professional height of the academic worker was evident.

Seeing Fu Qian openly admit to his real identity, Selana hesitated for a moment, ultimately using respectful language.

"I’ve heard about your numerous illustrious deeds, never thought you’d settle in such a small place to plot."

But emotions, after all, still showed a certain grit in the praise.

"Overpraised, it’s nothing but a superficial reputation."

Professor Fu was immensely humble, hinting that the public often spreads exaggerations.

"Moreover, Shangjing is not a small place. It’s always bustling, isn’t it?"

...

Indeed, within this bustle, your contributions certainly aren’t minor, are they?

It was evident, at that moment, Selana felt the urge to retort.

"Thank you, Professor Fu, for your trust. Apologies for any past offenses."

But the previously mentioned maturity manifested again, after a deep breath, she actually chose to apologize first.

Power is one thing, but the fact that he indeed has an organization makes some of Gulad’s past behaviors a bit impolite.

"So this bookstore is just a cover, and you have been investigating the Revelation all along?"

But it was only so much; after casually expressing this, Selana switched back to the main question.

"Actually, you can’t say that, if it was up to me, I’d still prefer to just run this business peacefully.

"Moreover, Revelation is just a small part, to me, it’s just incidental."

For a moment, Fu Qian was indeed stirred to some reflection, his gaze swept over the small store, his tone revealing a desire for a quiet retreat.

"So what are you mainly researching?"

Logically, it was hard to believe such words, but at that instant, the tone and demeanor showed no flaw.

Under the emotional influence, Selana couldn’t help imagining that scenario, then pulled back to the main topic.

No matter what, revealing his true face showed rare sincerity, she would never pass up such an opportunity for communication.

Ha—

Even though a light laugh from the other, the gaze still made her a bit flustered inside.

"Have you heard of the Rebirth Club?"

...

"Of course I have."

To Selana, the name of that organization was clearly more than just recently skyrocketing in fame.

Recalling Moore’s final experiences, she even suddenly realized that in some sense, she could be considered a member of that organization.

"Not too long ago, an accident occurred in the Ring Islands, causing the originally small organization to completely lose its foundation."

Fu Qian nodded satisfactorily, bringing up another matter.

"I know, Bai Jinting was killed, and a serious accident happened in the laboratory."

Not at all bothered by this sidetracked conversation style, Selana already vaguely realized something.

"Indeed, I was the one who did it."

Fu Qian validated what she thought was not untrue.
