What would you like to eat? I’ll have them prepare it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the greetings, Tan Ying was the first to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should be the one apologizing for barging in so late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Cecilia responded with a smile and a wave of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for food, Mr. Consultant, do you have any recommendations?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to her status as a troubled heiress, she effortlessly delegated even her food choices to the consultant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can ask the dining consultant for tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, she clearly wasn’t familiar with the idea of subcontracting as Fu Qian, without blinking, pointed towards Tan Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I…Tan Ying inwardly rolled her eyes for a moment, then with a resigned sigh, began to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is much appreciated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flawless smile, Lady Cecilia seated herself comfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What were you discussing just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Painting art, psychological age, and some other issues concerning you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian recalled briefly, listing them accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you really okay with being so open…While everyone else was speechless, Lady Cecilia blinked in slight surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the slightly awkward gaze of the audience, she didn’t seem as displeased as imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among those three topics, I guess I’m somewhat better with the first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her subsequent comment was indeed thought-provoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, while not particularly talented, I do have a wide range of experiences.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Given Lady Cecilia’s unusually approachable demeanor, the atmosphere quickly relaxed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, her self-assessment earlier contained quite a bit of modesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not talkative, her occasional insights revealed that she had indeed explored a wide range of artistic fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially merely polite, Tan Ying gradually seemed more engaged in conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She seems pretty normal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the group discussed today’s gallery collections, Young Master Qin turned to Fu Qian and mouthed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Much appreciated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian, expressionless, mouthed back the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Aware of his style, Qin Mingze took less than half a second to realize that Fu Qian had interpreted his comment as praise for the effectiveness of his psychological counseling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a resigned sigh, he suddenly thought of something, snapped his fingers, and whispered a call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you remember Xu Meng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian recalled a certain big boss running under the sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reliable sources say he must have gone to accompany his son.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Lady Cecilia was nearby, Young Master Qin used very discreet language without any words related to “crazy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian was also slightly surprised at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hadn’t been long; he thought that even if his inner demon was deeply rooted, it would still take time to ferment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you mean so soon? Had you arranged a schedule or something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, his shock also surprised Young Master Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, this guy wasn’t too surprised when Xu Meng streaked in the street; could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professional psychological consultation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an “I know what you’re thinking” tone, Fu Qian nodded while pointing at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I could tell at a glance that President Xu would not recover from his fears.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unfortunately, everything has its own destiny in the world. President Xu’s obsession is hard to let go of; now, with the family legacy continuing, it can be considered a fulfillment of a different kind of virtue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn family legacy, you’re going about this all wrong…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qin stared at Fu Qian for a long while and finally shook his head speechlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When faced with potential retaliation, it was not surprising that the kid was fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the person directly went insane and the threat was eliminated, he still didn’t show any relaxed emotion, apparently not taking President Xu seriously at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even though Fu Qian acted so bizarrely, Qin Mingze never thought this guy actually had anything to do with the Xu family’s misfortunes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s a psychologist, not a magician; you have to believe in science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you guys talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lady Cecilia, who was having a delightful conversation with Tan Ying and others, casually turned her head and asked Fu Qian and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trouble never comes alone, a pitiful father and son.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sigh, Young Master Qin briefly explained the tragic experiences that befell President Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Tan Ying, who didn’t react much, as if she already knew, everyone else clearly heard about the latest developments for the first time and were incessantly sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you do this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Lady Cecilia looked particularly thoughtful and stared directly at Fu Qian as she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question shocked Young Master Qin as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just described the Xu family’s misfortunes from a completely independent third-party perspective without mixing any personal feelings, and Fu Qian’s name hadn’t even come up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she make such a firm assumption?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What shocked him even more was yet to come; then he saw Fu Qian hum through his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I originally had no intention of bothering with them, but they just had to seek their own doom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone was shocked, Lady Cecilia first paused, then her laughter grew from quiet to loud until she was heartily amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The legendary domineering persona is indeed interesting; so how exactly did you manage to turn them into that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simple, first a move of ‘Sky Light Manifest’ cleansed one of their immense bitterness, then, when another came seeking revenge, I just left him to fall into the abyss of endless negation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp gaze and a deep voice, Fu Qian downed the tea in his cup, speaking with full strategic planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A real man should be like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Lady Cecilia listened intently and couldn’t help but clap in admiration at the end, wishing she could have witnessed it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two must have met in a support group or something…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, faced with this sudden turn of events, the other four people were dumbfounded, all having the same thought cross their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>",1199,"2026-06-03T07:51:01.326Z","2026-06-03T07:51:04.583Z",1,"novelbin.me","d21a77422efc24896737621a63584c942913ec534d4784b75bef6c83952ec985","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1070","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1068",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
