vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the view was quite ordinary, with most of it blocked by buildings outside the small window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the starry sky above or the river scene below, all felt so miniature it was akin to peeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it was precisely this aspect, combined with Lucy’s earlier reminiscence, that brought a sneaky sense of feeling when in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Fu Qian’s response had a somewhat rough logic and words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that as a party involved, Mr. Cardon Sr. looked quite surprised for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fu Qian came up, he didn’t do anything too odd, merely sitting by the window, looking out with a sideways glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he couldn’t help but turn around, squinting as he stared for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the interview winner Fu Qian, it seemingly caused him to look again after already being impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know... life always has regrets, doesn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the rough words evidently had some impact, as at some point Cardon sighed, expressing complete understanding of the invitation’s young girl’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, he didn’t disguise himself, continuously hearing the conversation downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can you see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And although the young man before him was more perceptive than expected, Cardon still didn’t expect too much empathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Fu Qian could say anything, he directly signaled Fu Qian to move closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What can you see...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unhesitatingly following suit, in the next moment Fu Qian was already at the window, looking out from the same angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The view was indeed poor, but relatively, privacy was stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could fully imagine a young girl, her inner passion surging, gazing out over the railing, and finally pulling the curtains in complex emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this aspect was indeed quite obvious, too simple to be used as an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not just life that has regrets, even cat’s lives do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian’s gaze finally landed on the gap between the outside buildings, although it affected the view, for a kind of agile small creature, it almost laid out a staggered path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucy said that flower cat goes down from here three times a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like Fu Qian had once again given the correct answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cardon’s tone carried surprise, but more so it was filled with amazement, and after a moment he began to narrate the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it will only return the original route twice... the last time it goes out the front door, regardless of whether the window is open.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the scene he described could be said to have a strong sense of immediacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad, that wonderful performance ultimately did not wait for an audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very interesting, it seems you remember Lady Lucy’s words quite clearly—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding slightly, Fu Qian gave a high appraisal of the life’s bonds involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you’re curious why I didn’t come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost as soon as the words dropped, Cardon had already helped in probing out a sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think anyone wouldn’t be curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian readily admitted, even turning to look for a moment while speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden ladder was indeed too old, no matter how cautiously one moved, there was no way to entirely avoid noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the hearing of an ordinary person, one could discern some hesitant footsteps outside by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t be more normal, one couldn’t expect during someone else’s family gathering to mourn youthful days in a bedroom, then also request others to do nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Lucy’s family had already been quite restrained, change to a more impulsive group and there might even have been a bloody event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was probably why Mr. Cardon earlier said, he thought he might have used a gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attempting to secure a moment of nostalgia, using such a weapon to hold the scene was clearly the easiest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And although choosing the most peaceful method, the fragile balance could only be maintained for a little while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply, I wanted to come, had complete time... but I didn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man, aware of the noise outside, remained calm and quietly explained the events of that year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this reason... isn’t it a bit too cruel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I did want to come, also had time, but I just didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People often ask, how far can a sentence explain regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to Fu Qian, Cardon’s reason could be called a sentence capable of pounding a person with regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nostalgia for youth, everyone has their moments of youthful recklessness, can be understood by all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You see, even outside Lucy’s family, upon knowing the circumstances, although emotions are complex, haven’t lost control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even processed the entire affair with some grace, perhaps next family gathering could be openly discussed as a topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet to offer such an abstract answer to Lady Lucy’s decades-long question?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However you see, it doesn’t look like a way to reconcile with life, whether the person can sleep peacefully at night in coming days becomes questionable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even upon this sentence, the cautious footsteps outside suddenly came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these belong to details, seemingly no need to worry oneself too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most core point still being, what if the old man speaks truth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relating to this task, it appears some mysterious points finally started to manifest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, we should leave now, further disturbance would be impolite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Cardon withheld further explanation, inhaling deeply, the next moment he was already up, feeling content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian did not insist, directly walked at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please excuse us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even coming onto the outer staircase, facing that peeking face, preemptively expressed apologies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Lucy was evidently pondering life, and pondered quite confusedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As mentioned before, this family had already been notably gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this behavior akin to barging in and defecating anywhere, eventually chose to respect Lucy’s youth, let her come upstairs to settle the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the efficiency of resolution evidently still surprised everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without more eye contact making the party more embarrassed, Fu Qian quickly brushed past and met a blank stare from the group downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Happy to fulfill the mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even proud Wendy subconsciously looked over, Fu Qian smiled broadly, without humility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before anyone computed a reaction, the door was already casually closed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process was so quiet and peaceful that even upon leaving, the youngest child there didn’t show any emotional instability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drive back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly not just the regret object of youth, Cardon showed no interest in a backward glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the first stop of this bucket list couldn’t capture any further attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon getting into the car, the elder resumed his coming posture, half-open eyes, casually giving a new directive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian also didn’t mind continuing as the driver, directly started the car.\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-06-03T07:51:37.765Z","2026-06-03T07:51:43.485Z",1,"novelbin.me","31b37ce393ecddea1b886834020e8a45e92d3df86cf43503f8053f3f02e0d65c","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-2328","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-2326",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
