Huh?
The question was rather odd. Even Wen Li, with her ability to read people, couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
"I didn't say anything. I just saw you looking toward the stairs..."
But that pause lasted only an instant. Wen Li quickly came back to herself and answered earnestly, even though she wasn't quite sure what was going on.
Just as I thought.
Wen Li's answer, however, made the whole scene instantly take a terrifying turn.
She hadn't said anything...
At that moment, Fu Qian reflected that he had gained a much better understanding of what this insight could do.
That was right. Liu Shuang hadn't been there just now.
If you paid close attention, you should have sensed something was off from the moment Wen Li said the magic trick was amazing. She hadn't witnessed his exchange with Liu Shuang at all.
In fact, according to Wen Li, the entire exchange had taken almost no time, and he hadn't actually spoken aloud.
It was startling, even just to imagine. It could almost be compared to him using the Warehouse to pull a Za Warudo.
At some point, false information had quietly seeped into his consciousness, and the process had felt more natural than nature itself.
And no time had passed in between, so the people around him hadn't noticed anything unusual.
Was this what Etched Wisdom was?
When he gazed at the world, the reflections in his eyes became unreliable. What he saw was no longer reality... The description suddenly made a lot more sense.
Most importantly, he couldn't forget that the target was a proper Higher Being—and one who'd been mechanically reset, at that.
In Fu Qian's view, even if Rainbow of Yao Bian had come in person, it might not have been capable of this.
