A 100% Kick-Away Physique

Chapter 22: 100% Chance of Being Kicked Away Constitution

How many are there like us?

"What do you want?"

Tan Mingxue was on guard.

In fact, it wasn't just her; Qi Xue was also taken aback, completely unable to understand why Fu Qian would ask this.

"Understood, not many."

Fu Qian nodded.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Qi Xue became interested.

Fu Qian pointed at Tan Mingxue.

"Given her personality, if there were many, her reaction wouldn't be like this. She'd most likely say something like, 'The quantity is enough to blast you to smithereens.'"

Haha!

Qi Xue froze for a moment, then burst into laughter, eventually slapping his thigh in amusement, completely ignoring the person whose face had turned ashen beside him.

"You're right."

After laughing, Qi Xue pushed up his glasses.

"Mingxue is the leader of Group Two, and I'm in charge of Group One's affairs. While there are quite a few Night Watchers in this city, there aren't many at our level, to be honest."

"But don't blame me for not warning you, our boss..."

Qi Xue gestured upwards.

"She's not on the same level as us at all. You'd best not have any strange ideas."

So that's how it is. Quite a few pawns, a single-digit number of powerful pawns, and a big boss in charge.

Fu Qian summarized it in game terms, roughly estimating the situation he'd face in hell mode.

This valuable intel made the trip worthwhile.

Fu Qian nodded.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Time to go back. Every second wasted here increased the risk of a restart.

"Don't you want to know why the Wen Family is in this situation?"

Seeing Fu Qian actually getting up to leave, Qi Xue suddenly said.

As expected, there's a problem. But unfortunately, I'm truly not interested in knowing.

Time is Miss Wen's life, and my money and quests.

However, to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion, Fu Qian reluctantly stopped.

"Tell me about it, but if I recall correctly, Team Leader Tan just said there's no specific targeting of the Wen Family."

"That statement is actually not wrong. There's no targeting, but the Wen Family hasn't received any special treatment either. It's enough to give them a headache if we just do our jobs according to regulations."

Qi Xue spread his hands.

"Actually, we don't have any prejudice against Wen Li, but the Wen Family's business ventures are too broad, even touching some gray areas. They're on our radar. While some borderline activities aren't under our jurisdiction, we're keeping tabs on certain matters."

"Of all that nonsense, only the first sentence is meaningful."

Fu Qian glanced at Qi Xue.

"If any of those influential families were truly clean, would you be bored enough to meddle in this? Go on, tell me. What prejudice do you actually have against Wen Li?"

Uh...

Qi Xue was stunned again, then started laughing, turning to Tan Mingxue.

"I'm liking this guy more and more. His strength is quite good, and his mind is sharp. He's good enough to be recruited as a formal team member."

"Ruthless and with an unknown background."

Tan Mingxue snorted, offering only two words of evaluation.

"You're right."

Qi Xue pulled out a cigarette from who-knows-where, took a puff, and immediately adopted a contemplative expression.

"The problem does indeed lie with Wen Li."

"Transcendent users of the mental type are rare. We've actually been keeping an eye on her for a long time."

"Although her abilities were quite weak in the early stages, this type of ability was unprecedented and very valuable. As she continued to grow, we discovered more and more surprises, even elevating her file to special attention, thinking we could provide some appropriate guidance at the right time."

"However, it's a pity that not long ago, we received notification that her file classification was changed to 'Observe and Wait.'"

"Which basically means to monitor closely and not interfere. You understand?"

Understood.

Fu Qian had already felt something was off before, but he hadn't expected there to be such a hidden reason.

With the Night Watcher's influence, they wouldn't care at all about any benefits the Wen Family gained because of Wen Li; for them to go from having high expectations to observing the situation passively could only be due to her own reasons.

It seemed his guess was right; anything related to a Containment subject in the warehouse was bound to be somewhat abnormal.

Of course, abnormal or not, his mission still had to be completed.

Qi Xue and the others were quite considerate and even sent a car to take him back.

Fu Qian was now a prominent figure in the Wen Family's mansion, with several versions of the story circulating about why he was taken away by the Night Watcher.

Someone had already reported the news to Wen Li. While she cautiously didn't rush out to greet him, her relief could be felt through the intercom.

"Mr. Fu, did they give you a hard time?"

As he walked into the living room, Wen Li eagerly stepped forward.

"No, Team Leader Tan and the others were very hospitable. We had a rather pleasant conversation."

Fu Qian sized up Wen Li, confirming that she hadn't encountered any problems during this time.

He recalled what Qi Xue had said at the Night Watcher base.

How reliable is this? The condition for my mission is to help this girl successfully advance to the Sixth Order.

But according to Qi Xue, she was quite unique, and even the Night Watcher had adjusted their expectations and decided to wait and see.

What if she never leveled up? Was he going to stay here as a bodyguard forever?

A rather pleasant conversation?

This statement clearly shocked Wen Li a little. Tan Mingxue's attitude had been quite unfriendly when she came to pick him up.

Fu Qian's quick and safe return had already far exceeded her expectations. Based on what Fu Qian said, it was as if he had been invited as a guest.

"Alright... then, would you like to rest for a bit?"

Wen Li didn't ask any further questions. She was already very grateful that Fu Qian could return so quickly.

"No need."

Fu Qian waved his hand and looked at Wen Li, asking the question that concerned him the most.

"When do you estimate you'll be able to complete your advancement?"

When? Wen Li's expression shifted.

"Mr. Fu, do you have new arrangements?"

"Please don't worry, I have a feeling it won't be long."

"I've been at the Seventh Order for a long time and can feel that I'm only one step away from breaking through. However, mental advancements often require a catalyst, making it difficult to confirm the exact time. But it will definitely be soon."

"Once I advance to the Sixth Order, I'll have a certain degree of self-preservation ability and won't delay you much longer..."

As she was earnestly explaining to Fu Qian, Wen Li suddenly received some information and ran to open the door with a surprised look.

"Dad, why are you back so soon?"

Wen Xiuxian, looking tired, walked in.

"It didn't go very smoothly, so I came back early."

Wen Xiuxian's mood was clearly low. He only showed a slight smile upon seeing his beloved daughter.

"Mr. Fu is here too. I heard about this morning's events. It seems they didn't trouble you. I'll have to trouble you for the next couple of days."

"It's nothing."

Fu Qian stepped forward silently, politely engaging with Wen Xiuxian while looking at Wen Li.

Her initial surprised expression had vanished. She was frowning and looking at her father, a hint of confusion in her expression.

Something's not right. A cold glint flashed in Fu Qian's eyes, and a certain feeling within him was confirmed.

The next moment, Miss Wen was once again sent flying with a kick.
