Chapter 1664: Chapter 1659: Drawing Legs on a Snake

"You’re too kind."

While offering a high degree of affirmation to Fu Qian, Sha Ming’s comments on others were undoubtedly somewhat harsh.

But after glancing at Elder Huang Leji and the others, Fu Qian merely offered a bland thanks, exuding an aura of transcendence.

At this moment, the situation seemed quite clear.

Everything in front of them was the result of the trio’s arrangement.

Huang Zhixun organized this team seeking an opportunity for promotion, and concealed it from the Huang Family.

Unfortunately, Blood Lion didn’t realize that someone also hid things from him.

The volunteer worker Sha Ming he enlisted obviously knew much more, with far grander motives.

Huang Clan People, whom he tried to shake off, were actually part of the latter’s plan, leading them all here to reach the "end point."

Perhaps as a mastermind, Sha Ming laid his cards on the table a bit smoothly, but this part was still considerably credible.

Of course, acknowledgment is just acknowledgment. Fu Qian, being an experienced mastermind himself, was already immune to verbal encouragement.

The simple statement "you can achieve more" wouldn’t compel him to do more.

Fu Qian even believed that Brother Sha Ming was aware of this.

Thus, after expressing modesty, he had no intention of saying more, merely looked at the other party, waiting for subsequent sincerity.

...

"There’s no need to be overly humble at this moment."

Without disappointing, Sha Ming instantly shifted his gaze away from Huang Leji and the others, as if they were of no use, akin to trash, not worth another look.

"Do you remember I once said, you don’t truly understand what the name ’Cycle Enforcer’ represents?"

Then he extended his hand, gesturing in the air, revisiting old topics.

"I must admit your demeanor and posture are commendable, but the more it is so, the more it exposes one issue. Do you know why?"

"If I knew what they were, surely I wouldn’t choose to imitate their appearance?"

Faced with Lord Sha Ming’s insight, Fu Qian also showed no courtesy, speculating boldly about a certain possibility.

"Indeed, I’m increasingly curious about your purpose for coming here."

Sha Ming’s reaction sounded almost excitedly surprised.

"Precisely right, Cycle Enforcers have a fundamental characteristic: they loathe Divinity."

And without hesitating, he pointed directly at the core.

...

So that’s how it is.

Though he already vaguely guessed some of this, Sha Ming’s statement left Fu Qian momentarily sighing at Brother Sanxun and his group’s peculiarity.

The question that had puzzled him before was why, compared to his one-on-one monitoring, Huang Leji and the others were treated unfavorably.

Now the reason seemed clear. Cycle Enforcers only react to intruding targets with Divinity, and it’s a negative reaction.

Once this is accepted, the logic behind the issue Sha Ming mentioned earlier becomes easy to understand—

The more one’s appearance resembles Cycle Enforcers, even using their title, only proves facing them directly before, thus exposing one’s Ranking.

This runs counter to the original intention of concealing one’s identity, a prime example of overdoing it.

"Although you concealed it well, the moment I saw you, I knew you were a high-level Extraordinary different from this group, regardless of how unassuming."

And indeed, Sha Ming had no intention of helping cover this point, directly revealing it, causing a stir.

"Demigod—"

Even Huang Leji and the others, undisturbed by earlier disdainful demeanor, suddenly cast shocked and despairing glances.

After all, Sha Ming’s words, albeit impolite, confronted an inescapable dilemma laid before them. Compared to finding an escape, being sharply criticized was hardly significant.

Yet now this mysterious figure appearing suddenly, having a genuine Demigod identity revealed, made the severity of the situation seem even more exaggerated.

With such a figure involved, it seemed the entire operation was like a huge conspiracy.

On the other hand, the nearly captive crowd seemingly had only one bargaining chip left to offer — "team bonds."

But the excessive gap in Ranking made it difficult to claim that this threat’s weight wouldn’t be weakened.

Having chips shrink amidst desperation, adding insult to injury, was undeniably hard to accept.

"So it turns out, seemingly doing something extra has happened."

It’s unfortunate, Fu Qian’s next response rendered them acceptance mandatory.

Having no intention of denial, Fu Qian openly nodded, his emotions unswayed by the revelation of his secret.

Because there was no real impact in the first place.

The act of overdoing it was always meant for overdoing.

...

Pretending to be a group encountered for the first time, with little understanding, clearly was a rather adventurous move, unfit for a mature expert.

Moreover, due to its scientific exploration nature, most of his time he merely served as an Observer, making it entirely unnecessary to grab attention with such large-scale methods.

Thus, even so, the reason for doing it was simple, Fu Qian was intensely interested in the Cycle Enforcer group, wanting to know more.

Compared to directly explaining what it’s really like, many evidently prefer exposing the false.

Appearing in Cycle Enforcer guise, as Fu Qian saw it, was far better than shouting straightforward questions.

In such an occasion filled with suspense, if someone understood more about Cycle Enforcers, facing his appearance, it’s hard to remain unresponsive.

For instance, Lord Sha Ming at present.

But that’s still not enough.

With his meticulous portrayal, if only achieving this much, it’s unacceptable.

"But truthfully speaking, if it’s just like this, it’s still not enough to make me do more."

"Though with greater power comes greater responsibility, there are others powerful here too, not just me."

Admitting the other’s statement, Fu Qian still appeared unwilling to change his laid-back demeanor.

"Heh heh... You’re right, since I know this much, even can compliment your guise, naturally, there’s a reason."

As for his reaction, Sha Ming appeared entirely unsurprised, even amidst continuous laughter, continued gesturing the previous patterns.

"But even if both are High-level Extraordinary, there’s still a difference between us."

"Just like you don’t know what Cycle Enforcers are, you know even less about me."

"And though I have a very wonderful metaphor for this question, now time is limited, someone needs to give you an irresistible reason—has he arrived?"

Finally lowering his hand, Sha Ming abruptly shifted his tone, asking suddenly.

"He has."

Without forcing, Fu Qian looked up honestly, at the countless rays shining suddenly from afar, and in the center, the three brother Sanxun, fully interwoven by them, nodded sincerely.
