Chapter 2829: Chapter 2824: Breaking the Law While Knowing the Law
It seemed to be drank too cleanly, until the cup was completely tilted down, yet not a single drop was poured out.
And after just waiting for three seconds, Fu Qian heard more than one voice of regret.
Perhaps the times are changing, but the Archipelago’s playful nature is still well-maintained.
It was very clear after discovering the conflict here, more than one person was waiting for the White Tower Codex to be violated.
Speaking of which, the bar does not allow you to throw wine on someone’s face, this rule remains abstract as ever, it looks like it’s missing a lot of fun.
Thud—
Regretful but not insisting, in the next moment Fu Qian casually dropped the glass, then dropped the person with the other hand.
"You—"
But it was indeed unashamed to be the one daring to step forward and point fingers, the guard’s strength was evident.
Even under such circumstances, he still adjusted his body mid-air to ensure he landed on all fours, and could even squeeze out a sound from his throat.
Unfortunately, making a sound was one thing; it was clear he didn’t know what to say.
You come to the bar to drink, really got into it, huh? Blending into the crowd too quickly?
"Give him a drink."
These roars didn’t have the chance to be spoken, yet Fu Qian casually flicked out a bill and gestured to Jenny.
You’re actually treating him to a third drink?
The latter was also in a daze, unfortunately even though she did not reach out to take it, the bill still slid to her front without missing.
"Weren’t you going to repay the money? Not needed anymore?"
After barely regaining her senses, Jenny obviously didn’t know whether to reach out or not, helplessly asked the soul-searching question.
"Of course, one thing doesn’t affect another."
Fu Qian’s face turned solemn, refusing to compromise.
"Then with all the money, let everyone here have another drink."
Though he said so, it was money already spent, there’s no reason to take it back.
He then snapped his fingers with his left hand, surprisingly indicating that Professor Fu would cover everyone’s tab today.
...
Isn’t this excessively generous?
In a blink, jumping twice, fortunately the order was large enough, successfully stimulating Jenny’s nerves.
Realizing the business turnover might increase, the gaze she fixed on Fu Qian instantly cleared, but she didn’t comment.
"What’s wrong?"
Fu Qian seemed dissatisfied with this reaction, glanced over and asked.
Not just Jenny, even the patrons who had their drinks paid for were unusually silent, lacking the joy of freeloading.
As if out of a simple moral view, not willing to accept favors from this kind of villain.
"At the bars on the Archipelago, paying for everyone isn’t allowed..."
Eventually, it was the Female Priestesses who broke the silence, cautiously explaining to Fu Qian why everyone reacted this way.
It even confirmed the previous high praise received, her business quality was indeed excellent.
White Tower Codex has many abstract contents, the bar clearly doesn’t have much to do with her.
As the topic gradually shifted away from focus, the Female Priestesses not only got back to her senses, but even quickly recalled relevant content.
Additionally, White Tower Codex, as usual, proved disappointing; actions that elevate the atmosphere such as paying for everyone are actually forbidden.
Though this isn’t the point—the point is that Fu Qian didn’t actually need the Female Priestesses’ reminder.
"Can’t pay for everyone" huh, does anyone really not know?
Back in the day this seat carefully read from start to finish.
At that moment, he recalls the glorious days.
Including not throwing wine on faces either, actually Jenny’s reminder wasn’t needed, Fu Qian knowingly broke the law.
Today’s Archipelago is rather unusual.
...
Seems like he came ready, the situation is even more interesting than imagined.
Throwing money like that isn’t because he got excited.
Even knocking down this guard wasn’t just on a whim.
Perhaps the Master’s suggestion to return here, as previously speculated, makes it easier to probe each other.
But for Fu Qian, the probing goes far beyond these people and Old Master Yibu’s relationship.
Remaining true to his original intent, does he still remember why he set this trip?
Because there was suspicion in the mission to hunt the King of the White Tower, that the mysterious Superior Being was connected to Progenitor of the Blood Clan Annalise.
Why would it be connected to the Progenitor of the Blood Clan?
Because there is a blood moon in the sky.
Why does a blood moon in the sky indicate Annalise?
Because although Annalise has already fallen, her connection with the Red Moon might not be simple, and Tilani is likely the true name of the Red Moon.
If the Red Moon truly played the role of Annalise, then why would the King of the White Tower attract her attention?
Because of the White Tower Codex, Annalise seemed to have dabbled in law during her lifetime.
That’s right, law has always been an important element of this journey, Fu Qian has never forgotten.
And the simplest way to study law is by trying to violate it to see the effect, just like what he did earlier.
As opposed to when the mission ended, the White Tower Codex turned into just a piece of scrap paper, his two consecutive infractions surprisingly did not succeed reasonably?
The drink because it was too cleanly drunk, treating everyone because the bar owner wasn’t actually lacking money nor intended to cheat him.
Even the last time he came for a showdown, it wasn’t this strict, only receiving punishment post infraction.
This inevitably reminds one of the experiences on Xi Yuan’s side, this codex indeed seems to have some essence of law...
Of course, with just the scale at present, insufficient to determine anything wrong.
Theoretically should insist on treating everyone, to see what kind of response it might trigger.
The reason not to do so is because for Fu Qian, there’s really no rush to determine.
Rushing too much can scare people.
"So that’s how it is, then he’ll just have this one drink."
The next moment pointing to the guard, Fu Qian apparently began behaving like a law-abiding citizen, stating it will be a full treatment minus one.
For the latter’s extra paid drink, sunshine all around but not for him.
"Understood..."
Even if Jenny was slow, she could see the unusual relationship between the two.
But for business that comes to her, she finally welcomed it with a smile.
...
"Thank you."
As they say, acquaintance begins with a fight, the bar’s atmosphere gradually became lively again afterwards.
Even the guard with the faint marks still on his neck sat down and finished Jenny’s first mixed drink before taking his leave, without forgetting to express thanks before he did.
Moreover, this time he finally deserted his post, instead of returning to his seat, he opened the door and left.
"Sir, this time... here for vacation?"
And after watching that person leave together with Jenny, although the Female Priestesses felt complicated emotions, she eventually regained composure under the effect of alcohol, cautiously engaging in small talk with Fu Qian.
Mainly because this person seemed really unhurried.
"Sort of, I left in quite a hurry last time, didn’t have the chance to stroll more."
Fu Qian’s response, furthermore, was carefree.
...Can such things be said?
The Female Priestesses was again at a loss for words, staring at him already regretting why she succumbed to the temptation of money to come to this place of trouble again.
