The reason to thank A Fei was that after both his eyes had been stabbed blind, he had realized that "It" wasn't the sun, but the Rainbow of Yao Bian?
There had already been a similar suspicion earlier, but now it seemed he'd finally confirmed it.
Because Fu Qian had said that the Sun Apostle looked remarkably like a Warehouse containment object he'd seen before.

The spy device from the Rainbow of Yao Bian, which had been described at the time as a poisoned apple.
But that brought them back to the same question: wasn't the esteemed Rainbow of Yao Bian going to do anything about this?
"I'm coming clean. I'm done pretending." That wasn't an impossible sentiment to have, but it needed a purpose.
For example, if he had something he wanted to discuss with Fu Qian at length, he could open with this to show his sincerity.
Just giving Fu Qian this piece of information out of nowhere didn't fit the other's style over the years.
It even clashed with his performance in the previous round of Etched Wisdom.
Could it be that he wasn't here?
At one point, Fu Qian thought of the Chief Judge.
This time, the latter had only revealed traces of related corruption. His true form hadn't appeared.
In that respect, there was a degree of consistency.
But there was always a reason for everything. Why were the Higher Being-related elements so weak in this round of Etched Wisdom?
The situation seemed to be getting ever more complicated.
And Fu Qian was increasingly pleased with his earlier decision to choose A Fei as his agent.
If he'd fought his way here himself, he'd probably have missed these subtle details.
Now that he'd fought his way here, how was he supposed to keep fighting?
