"No need to deliberately provoke me. It's pointless."
It was clear that Selena had probably done some mental preparation, but she still lost her composure in an instant in front of Fu Qian.
However, relying on several hundred years of experience and emotional maturity, she ultimately managed to suppress her anger, giving only a cold snort.
"I'm only here today to attend the salon, Mr. Detective."

Fu Qian nodded without surprise.
Seeing his current appearance and behavior, Selena should have realized that he'd picked up on her hint.

From the situation so far, two things were clear. On one hand, the Gulad family was indeed plotting something.

She had most likely used Taylor to drop a hint because she didn't agree with certain things.
But even though she disagreed, she still had her own limits and wouldn't tell him more without restraint.
"Don't worry. I've never been one to ask pointless questions."
There was no way he could use Clear Dream on a mighty demigod like her, so Fu Qian decided to make full use of the art of conversation.
