Without a doubt, Riet’s reaction was considerable after she realized the identity that Fu Qian had implied.
In her shock, she even rudely stood up, completely disregarding the audience’s view behind her.
The movements of Fu Qian and the reaction of her sister enabled Veil to faintly guess something after her initial shock.
Clearly, the sister had shared some of her experiences from the Rebirth Club with her.
And the words of this man, along with the gesture of stroking his arm, were indeed hard to not associate with this point.
For this organization that deceived ignorant girls, Veil had no good feelings, and her facial expression turned frosty almost instantly.
“Don’t worry, I definitely have no ill intentions this time,”
Fu Qian chuckled, his tone unexpectedly serene and magnanimous, as if he were about to shatter the Void.
“You must be Riet’s sister Veil, right? For any past offenses, I am very sorry.”
“As you can see, I am now just an ordinary old man, and I no longer have the ability to harm your sister.”
This was indeed the case.
Veil finally nodded so slightly it was almost imperceptible.
Although the man before her was dressed in strange attire, he indeed lacked the aura of a Transcendent.
Being so close, she was confident in her perception.
If he were truly capable of hiding his abilities to the extent that she couldn’t detect any trace, then he wouldn’t need to deceive her if he wanted to harm her.
“Mr. Lu, we are disturbing others too much here, let’s go outside and talk,”
But if the man before her was indeed one of the major figures of the Rebirth Club, Veil naturally couldn’t easily trust him.
Seeing Riet’s state and realizing that her sister was no longer in the mood to watch the opera, her response was very straightforward, tugging Riet and suggesting immediately.
This suggestion, without a doubt, was exactly what Fu Qian had hoped for. He smoothly went along with it.
“So Mr. Lu, what did you want to see us about?”
The moment they had barely left the auditorium, Veil stopped with her sister and turned to stare at Fu Qian and asked.
Clearly, she was not prepared to follow this mysterious man to a place too secluded, to avoid any danger that might arise from it.
Fu Qian seemed to be quite aware of how unwelcome he was, and he got straight to the point.
“First of all, do not worry, I have not been following you. I was merely here to enjoy the opera today, as you must have noticed with the other audience members, so you should know it is a normal hobby for the elderly.”
“However, unfortunately, this play turned out to be unexpectedly boring, causing me to lose focus. It was then that I unintentionally saw a familiar face and recalled some past matters, which I couldn’t help but come to remind you about.”
“So what exactly is the warning?”
Upon hearing this, Veil’s brow furrowed even more deeply.
“You’re not from Dunis, if I’m correct, you came here for the festival?”
“What I want to say is that dangerous events are unfolding in Dunis, and I suggest that you leave early.”
Not only was Veil surprised, but even Riet, who had been stiff as a board, couldn’t help but react, her expression showing an unconscious opposition.
It was obvious that she was looking forward to the festival quite a bit.
“Thank you for the… warning, so what exactly are the dangers?”
Not expecting that the other party was indeed there to warn them, Veil, after a moment of indecision, still asked cautiously.
I would damn well like to know too.
Fu Qian internally cursed before answering with all the confidence he could muster.
“That’s right, I can’t be sure what dangers there are, but I have a bad feeling like something is going to happen.”
Veil’s face was immediately filled with hesitation.
“I appreciate your warning, but we’ve come a long way to get here, and it’s not possible to change our plan just because of your baseless intuition.”
“It’s okay, I’ve done what I wanted to do. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.”
Despite being questioned, Fu Qian just laughed it off, not minding in the slightest.
“Your current appearance is much more pleasing to the eye than before.”
After laughing, Fu Qian gave Riet, who had once again fallen silent, a thorough once-over.
This middle-school girl, who had been so determined to gain power that she didn’t hesitate to chop off her own hand, now appeared to have all limbs intact.
It wasn’t surprising; the world was full of various Transcendent powers, and the Ver Sisters obviously had considerable resources to find someone to help with Limb Attachment, so that shouldn’t pose much of a problem.
However, it was still noticeable that one of Riet’s hands was clearly a bit stiff.
The previous act of severing and attaching limbs had inevitably caused some irreversible damage.
Realizing he was looking at her, Riet subconsciously hid that hand behind her back.
“Till we meet again!”
Having finished his critique, Fu Qian was quite decisive, flashing a hearty smile before turning around and leaving, dripping with swagger.
“That guy from the archipelago?”
As Veil watched Fu Qian leave the theater without any sign of reluctance, she glanced at her sister beside her, choosing her words carefully, afraid of upsetting her.
Riet nodded, speaking with a muffled tone.
Veil was momentarily puzzled; after all, according to her sister’s story, that Mr. Lu had an obviously high status, while the man before them was just an ordinary person.
Moreover, his hands, even though gloved, looked normal and were not the deformed limbs of legends.
And even if he truly hadn’t died, it was hard to imagine such a person would kindly offer a warning.
Was Dunis really on the verge of crisis?
Chewing on Fu Qian’s words, Veil’s expression was riddled with conflict.
Outside the theater, the sky had already darkened.
And looking up at the starry night, Fu Qian felt very satisfied with the current developments.
Whether the Ver Sisters listened to his warning or not actually didn’t matter–it wasn’t meant for them anyway.
As long as that demi-god inside heard it, that was good enough.
His warning was indeed based on the information he knew.
From the current situation, it was clear that something had happened, prompting the Night Watchman to increase surveillance on Transcendents, especially foreigners.
At the same time, the situation was not serious enough to take extreme measures, such as rounding up all Transcendents.
And this mattered was currently under secrecy; after all, Veil’s reaction indicated she hadn’t heard such news.
What Fu Qian wanted to know was simple–what exactly had happened.
So his whole performance just now was to pretend to be an informed individual, to see how the Night Watchman would react.
Of course, how to measure the force of his assertion was a delicate matter.
Dunis at that moment felt like a powder keg, and the combat power on display from all sides was so ridiculously strong that Fu Qian didn’t want to overstimulate the situation. Hence, he chose this prophet-like manner of speaking.
He decided to gamble on the pride of that demi-god.
Just like he had not bothered to give himself a thorough examination earlier, Fu Qian guessed that it was highly unlikely for the demi-god to lay a hand on someone he deemed an ordinary person.
The most likely outcome would be to have someone keep watch over him while trying to gauge if he really knew something.
And that was exactly what he wanted.
