What should this one be called?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beauty 9527?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Glancing around the table, Fu Qian reached for the notepad and pen next to him under Kisaragi Chie’s puzzled gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving a line of writing, Fu Qian folded the sticky note in half, then folded it again…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, a paper heart took shape in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When your sister comes back, give this to her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the paper heart in his hand, Fu Qian passed it to Kisaragi Chie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why… should I do this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kisaragi Chie instinctively resisted a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because you’re someone who understands how to observe and read people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Kisaragi Chie slowly extended her hand and received the paper-folded heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you worried I’ll peek?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay, you’re someone with self-awareness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…All right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kisaragi Chie didn’t say more and agreed to Fu Qian’s request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Leaving the Fortune Teller’s Cottage, Fu Qian strolled home, and by the time he arrived, dawn was breaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a mighty Demigod, it is naturally impossible to feel fatigued because of this, and it in no way affects the reception of guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content he left on the note was actually quite simple, just an invitation for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He invited Kagetsu Kana to “once again” savor the delicious meal after the test was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proving Kagetsu Kana’s innocence wouldn’t be difficult, and Suzune should quickly be able to confirm that she is not the murderer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the obsession with the Miracle Elixir, she’d certainly attend the final test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before that, with the Night Watchman by her side, she was undoubtedly very safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these were things that were expected to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether she would be in the mood for something different after that, Fu Qian truly didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the message wasn’t meant for her to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that he would have to leave once the mission was completed, since he had decided to start an observational project, naturally, he had to make thorough arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, the first visitor arrived quite early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter with Kisaragi Iketa?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zetian, brimming with Momentum, began to accuse as soon as he entered the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yasui Corp has a strong sense of corporate responsibility, huh? Even doing police work now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian wasn’t surprised that this person got the news so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Yasui’s influence in this place, and the involvement with the test subjects, it would be strange if they didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t talk nonsense with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zetian looked like he was already frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this time, we absolutely cannot allow any accidents. Do you understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If anything goes slightly beyond control, both of us are as good as dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t panic, everything is under control and going according to plan,” Fu Qian said, gesturing for him to stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope you know what you’re doing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zetian stared at Fu Qian for a long time before finally speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trust me, I know better than anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zetian snorted and left in a hurry, just as he had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching noon, Fu Qian welcomed his second guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Suzune, whose eyes were filled with raging fury, he frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What brings you here, Lady Suzune?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chuckled coldly, caressing the dagger in her hand, exuding a threatening presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kagetsu Kana has been proven innocent?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, and you don’t seem surprised at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzune’s voice was icy cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She did indeed arrive at Kisaragi Chie’s place very late yesterday, but that was only because she was in a bad mood and went out to distract herself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see, but as professionals, we only provide ideas for reference.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian was dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wouldn’t be suspecting me again, would you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, I am a reasonable person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzune’s sneer continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The case has been handed over to those officers to handle. It no longer has anything to do with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then Your Ladyship is here to…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do I even need to say it? Of course, I’m here for the banquet,” Suzune responded, smiling as she took out a paper heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear from the creases that it had been opened and then refolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The problem is that it’s a dinner invitation, aren’t you a bit early?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-03T07:50:43.059Z","2026-06-03T07:50:47.187Z",1,"novelbin.me","44c857bf683c68e4a430a16a2fc9e078ac61d5998c757d5007beec48a93a15df","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-564","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-562",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
