“Follow?”
“Two?”
Upon hearing the instructions from the guards, the players from Quan Zhen Sect stumbled back in shock.
Only two players could follow Sanguine Warflag into the mansion. Anyone who volunteered to follow this time would be losing face as they would be treated as a follower of Sanguine Warflag.
All the players stopped in their tracks at once.
w.a.n.g Yu had any easygoing temperament and would not have bothered by an insult from a brainless guard. However, when he heard the guards, w.a.n.g Yu quickly turned around and asked his ground, “Only two people, who should go?”
The bunch from Quan Zhen Sect were used to acting high and mighty, they were not used to be called anyone’s lackeys. They all indicated their refusal to go along with Sanguine Warflag.
When Sanguine Warflag saw this situation, he immediately panicked and hurriedly cried, “Fearless, didn’t we agree to it already? How could you leave me hanging now?”
Fearless shrugged helplessly and pointed at w.a.n.g Yu, “Old Bull, are you gonna go?”
“I will…” w.a.n.g Yu nodded as his previous promise was worth its weight in gold.
“Good, that’s settled then.” Fearless slowly turned to the others and said, “Let’s pick another one of you. Whoever is chosen must go obediently.”
Fearless was a wastrel that was useless in combat. Therefore, he had already effectively self eliminated himself from the selection. His only ability was to heal others. At the very least, the other players were more effective in combat than Fearless.
“F*ck, Fearless you old dog!”
The players from Quan Zhen Sect were not stupid. They naturally could sense Fearless’ crafty plan. However, none of them dared to offend w.a.n.g Yu. They only gave some unkind words to Fearless in retaliation.
w.a.n.g Yu directly pointed at Fearless and said, “How about you go with me?”
“Me? Do you really need me to heal you in battle?” Fearless was flabbergasted at his decision.
w.a.n.g Yu smiled back and replied, “Nope, what I need is your brain…”
As an expert martial artist, w.a.n.g Yu had no rivals and was fearless against any opponent. However, in the aspect of plotting and trickery, he was far beneath Fearless’ level.
“Are you serious? Even if you are inside, I can also give you ideas” Fearless justified himself quickly.
The other Quan Zhen Sect players immediately jumped into the conversation, “He can be a better strategist if he is there physically by your side. Old Bull, if he dares not follow you, you can just kill this old dog right here right now.”
Fearless cursed in exasperation, “I am so jealous of you guys!”
Of course, no matter how sharp Fearless’ tongue was, he could not match up to the hardness of w.a.n.g Yu’s fist. Under the threat of w.a.n.g Yu’s retaliation, Fearless had no choice but to comply. Both of them tagged behind Sanguine Warflag as they entered the City Lord mansion.
Once they were inside, most of the people gathered here were the leaders of the big guilds. Behind these big bosses were their respective cronies.
Even Captain Don’t Open Fire and Big Bear Deng Deng An had forgone their plans for celebration and rushed down to the City Lord mansion.
Because of the connection between the City War system and the Immemorial Covenant, Captain Don’t Open Fire and some members of his team were beside the City Lord of Twilight City and were receiving some rewards for their contribution.
Watching the carefree demeanour of Captain Don’t Open Fire, Sanguine Warflag was infuriated. If not for the guards, Sanguine Warflag would have gone up and shot him right there.
“Hm? Big brother Iron Bull? You are here too…”
Just as everyone was waiting impatiently for the award ceremony to be over, a crisp voice was heard from the back of the hall.
w.a.n.g Yu turned around to take a look and he saw an a.s.sa.s.sin. This a.s.sa.s.sin was also looking back at him. Although the voice sounded very resounding, one could not differentiate the gender of the voice from its figure.
“Are you that book?” w.a.n.g Yu had a vague impression of who the mystery person might be.
“One Page Book!” the lady a.s.sa.s.sin replied.
“Oh yes, when did you arrive in Twilight City?” w.a.n.g Yu inquired as he remembered that this lady was not a local resident.
One Page Book replied in a textbook manner, “The world is big and everywhere is my home. I was just playing around somewhere.”
“Makes sense!” w.a.n.g Yu nodded.
This was in-game after all. A lot of players had no fixed residence as they just travelled around in a carefree manner.
“This, these two are?” w.a.n.g Yu suddenly felt a burning gaze directed at him and he turned to look in the direction. He saw that there were two other ladies behind One Page Book. Their large eyes were fixated on him.
“This is our guild master and vice guild master, Seeing Snow In The Summer and Seeing Flowers In The Winter,” One Page Book introduced.
“Oh, such interesting names.” w.a.n.g Yu chuckled to himself at their creativity.
“h.e.l.lo, two ladies…” w.a.n.g Yu politely greeted both of them.
“h.e.l.lo, Great G.o.d Iron Bull,” the two ladies greeted him.
w.a.n.g Yu was beginning to feel uncomfortable at their intense gaze and turned towards One Page Book and hushed softly, “Could you tell them not to look at me so intently?”
One Page Book smiled gently and informed the two ladies. The ladies blushed and immediately retracted their gaze.
Fearless was at the side and saw that w.a.n.g Yu was chatting so pa.s.sionately with the three ladies. His eyes became similar to that of Sanguine Warflag as he complained, “This musclehead is quite popular. Women who like violent men are clearly primitive.”
“Who is this?” One Page Book turned towards Fearless the moment Fearless utter those poison laden words.
w.a.n.g Yu replied, “He is Fearless, our Quan Zhen Sect’s guild master.”
Quan Zhen Sect did not particularly have a good reputation be it in Twilight City or in the general gaming circle. As a straightforward person, One Page Book immediately replied, “He is that thuggish leader?”
“…” Fearless’ head was filled with confusion.
He finally knew the reason why no one fancied him even though he was so handsome. Those players from Quan Zhen Sect were the culprits that were responsible for his bad name.
One Page Book knew she was disrespectful and quickly apologised, “I’m sorry, this is what I have heard from others. I have never thought of you in this way.”
Only G.o.d knew if this girl was telling the truth.
“So you are the legendary Fearless…”
Seeing Snow In The Summer turned towards Seeing Flowers In The Winter and could not believe her eyes. The person in front of them was Fearless. These two ladies did not show any apprehension towards Fearless but instead rushed up to him.
“Happiness is really ephemeral… Old Bull, I really love you…” Fearless was in tears at their sudden display of affection for him.
“It’s me, it’s me.”
In the blink of an eye, she turned from a proud and haughty lady into such a friendly person.
Seeing Snow In The Summer asked emotionally, “I have heard of you since long ago, are you very close to Great G.o.d Old Bull? Does he have a girlfriend? Could you give me his real-life handphone number?”
“Your grandfather…” Fearless stared deathly at w.a.n.g Yu and whispered, “Can you please change the topic?”
Looking at Seeing Flowers In The Winter, “I heard you two and another guy named Boson are in a relations.h.i.+p, is that true?”
“F*ck off!” Fearless finally could no longer take it. What is this all about? Are women all so vulgar these days?
