Thirty li away, Jiang Jinjiu discovered the diversion mission under the guild tree. However, due to his status as a deserter, he was too embarrassed to report it to the guild. Since he didn't need to report it to the guild, there was nothing to worry about. If he continued to watch, it would just be gossip. Eight, or not eight, that was the question.
"They're gone! They're gone!" Thirty li away, Jiang Jinjiu shouted.
"Louder!" Jiang Jinjiu said.
"They're gone." Thirty li away whispered.
"I won't report it to the guild anyway. What they do has nothing to do with me. They can go wherever they want!" Jiang Jinjiu was quite open-minded. He laid down comfortably in the grass and looked up at the sky. His hand searched his pocket and finally pulled out half a bottle of wine.
"You can drink while lying down?" Thirty li away seemed to have discovered something even more interesting.
Jiang Jinjiu didn't reply. He just took a sip for Thirty li to see.
"Admirable." Thirty li away nodded. Then, he sneakily raised half his head and looked outside. "Hey hey, they really left. Let's go take a look!"
"What's there to see?" Jiang Jinjiu was impatient.
"We won't be able to snatch this segment. Maybe we can start from here for the next segment?" Thirty li away seemed to love the guild more than Jiang Jinjiu. He was more concerned about the guild's interests, especially when he wasn't in too much danger.
When Jiang Jinjiu heard this, he felt that it made sense. He closed the bottle and put it back in his pocket. He got up and said, "Let's go take a look."
The two slowly moved through the grass, occasionally peeking their heads out to observe what was in front of them. However, as they moved, they couldn't see what was in front of them. Several times, they accidentally pushed aside a pile of grass in front of them and saw a man and a woman looking at them in fear.
"Sorry." Thirty li away said.
"You guys continue." Jiang Jinjiu closed the grass and added.
"Two men!!" The man and woman thought to themselves …
Yin Feng and the others followed Gilkino. They were crawling along the shore of the lake. They weren't much faster than Jiang Jinjiu, who was crawling through the grass. This made it easy for the two of them to follow. The two of them could also tell that their group was most likely an escort or follower quest. The NPC would decide where they would go, so they felt more at ease.
Gradually, Gilkino's direction became clearer and clearer. He was heading towards a small wooden house by the lakeside. Thirty miles away, Jiang Jinjiu and Jiang Jinjiu had also noticed this. However, the small wooden house was not surrounded by such dense weeds, so it was very difficult to hide. The two of them looked around, trying to find a position as close as possible.
"Do you want to sneak over there?"
"You don't know the one tomorrow. There's anti-stealth." Jiang Jin Jiu said.
"Which one?"
"Behind Yin Feng, the one who's always sneakily looking around." Jiang Jin Jiu said. A few of Yin Feng's party had gone out to drink and sing. Jiang Jinjiu recognized Yin Feng from 30 miles away, while Jiang Jinjiu recognized the player called Tomorrow.
"Oh, then let's find a place to take a look!"
The two of them continued to look around in the underbrush. Suddenly, after pushing aside a clump of grass, they saw a fully-armed player hiding in the underbrush. He didn't look like a player who belonged to this world. Players who mingled around the Cloud Suburb Lakeside didn't care about equipment or stats. Instead, they sought to be distinguished and elegant.
This person had clearly heard the commotion behind him. He hurriedly turned his head and swung his iron sword in front of him. Thirty miles away, Yin Feng hastily pulled Jiang Jinjiu back and dodged. The surrounding underbrush rustled as countless blades and arrows pointed at them.
"Who is it?!" The commotion was too great. Yin Feng and the others noticed the commotion and turned their heads to look. The commotion instantly stopped. Thirty miles away, Jiang Jinjiu, and the others were already covered in weapons. They only needed to move forward slightly and they would be able to send the two of them away. However, the white light of death was the same as telling Yin Feng and the others that something had happened. As such, everyone stopped moving.
"Let's go take a look." Yin Feng pointed at a player. Everyone's faces revealed expressions of panic. However, at that moment, a person in the underbrush put away his weapon and stood up. He held onto a girl's hand and walked out as if there was no one else around. Yin Feng and the others understood what was going on. The player who had come to take a look also returned to his team.
That was close! Everyone let out a long sigh of relief. However, for Jiang Jinjiu, who was thirty miles away, the danger wasn't over. Just now, Jiang Jinjiu, who was thirty miles away, had pulled Jiang Jinjiu back and dodged. After that, the situation had come to a standstill. At that moment, his hand was still tightly gripping Jiang Jinjiu's arm. Jiang Jinjiu very naturally stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the back of Jiang Jinjiu's hand. Jiang Jinjiu, who was thirty miles away, didn't understand what was going on. He watched as Jiang Jinjiu nodded at him and pulled his hand down, indicating that he was leaving.
The surrounding people were stunned. Then, their expressions became strange. In the end, they put away their weapons and made way for the two of them. Just like that, Jiang Jinjiu led Jiang Jinjiu out of the encirclement.
The two of them walked for a distance. Seeing that no one was following them, Jiang Jinjiu, who was thirty miles away, quickly retracted his hand and vomited. "Disgusting."
"That's right." Jiang Jinjiu nodded in agreement. He took out his half-empty bottle of wine and wet his entire right hand. Then, he took out an ignition tool and suddenly lit his entire right hand on fire.
Jiang Jinjiu was shocked. However, the flame was extinguished almost immediately. Jiang Jinjiu's expression was calm. "Disinfect it."
"I'd rather die." Jiang Jinjiu said from thirty miles away.
"I think so too. However, I'm a bit curious about their intentions. Let's disgust them for a bit!" Jiang Jinjiu said.
"What kind of wine is that? How can it still be lit? " The taverns in the game mostly sold red wine and sweet wines. Without a high alcohol content, it wouldn't be lit.
"I made it myself." Jiang Jinjiu said as he put away the bottle. "Did you see those people clearly?"
"I saw them clearly. They were among the colorful clouds." Jiang Jinjiu said from thirty miles away. He recognized the other party's guild badge. At the same time, he was glad that he and Jiang Jinjiu didn't wear their guild badges. Deserters had to hide their identities.
"Yeah. They seem to be here for Yin Feng's group." Jiang Jinjiu said.
"That's strange. Yin Feng's group should be very secretive. How did they receive the news? It seems like they knew beforehand?"
"It seems so." Jiang Jinjiu nodded. The two of them didn't dare to get too close. They obediently crouched in their current position, each peeking out half of their heads to look at the small wooden house.
"They're about to go in!" Jiang Jinjiu said from thirty miles away.
Gilgino stepped into the small wooden house. Yin Feng and the others finally let out a sigh of relief. This was a very clear destination. They believed that the NPC wouldn't just take a stroll around the house and then come out to continue on their way.
"You guys stay outside and keep an eye on them." Yin Feng casually arranged for a few people to enter the small wooden house. The quest was on him, so of course he had to go in and complete the quest with the NPC.
Everything in the house was old and covered in dust. However, there was a table that had been wiped clean. A person was sitting on it, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and staring at Yin Feng.
"How could it be you!!" Yin Feng blurted out in shock. He didn't have any relationship with this person, but he knew who he was. Even if those who had been in the Wine and Song Guild couldn't recognize the guild leader, Against the Current, there was no way they wouldn't recognize this person. The young master of the Han Family was simply too outstanding and easy to recognize.
"I also want to know. How could it be you?" Han Family's young master said. Han Family's young master recognized Yin Feng. He was the person who had accepted the quest. The quest he was leading his team to protect was this person's quest.
"What are you doing here?" Yin Feng didn't know what the other party's intentions were, so he didn't act rashly. The people outside the house heard his surprised cry and rushed in. When they saw that the young master of the Han Family was sitting in the house, they were all astonished.
Only the great NPC could remain calm even if Mt. Tai collapsed in front of them. Gilgino didn't care about what was happening between the players. He walked around the house, then crouched down next to the fireplace and grabbed a handful of ashes. After a moment of shock, he regretfully said, "Not good. The blueprints have all been burned."
"What?" Yin Feng turned pale with fright. At this time, he couldn't be bothered with the Han Family's young master anymore. He immediately rushed forward to continue the quest. "How could this be?"
Han Family's young master didn't say anything. He continued to sit at the table as if nothing had happened.
"Perhaps he didn't want to be used by others, so he burned the blueprints," Gilgino said.
"Then what do we do?" Yin Feng asked.
Gilgino's eyes shone. After looking around the house, his expression changed. "Someone has been here."
Everyone looked at Han Family's young master. Han Family's young master helplessly said, "What are you looking at me for? Could the quest be referring to me?"
"Who was it?" Yin Feng asked.
Gilgino shook his head. In the end, he only said, "Perhaps they took something away."
Everyone looked at Han Family's young master.
Han Family's young master jumped off the table and looked back at everyone. "Looking at me again? You bunch of idiots, taking something away is your new clue. If you want to continue the quest, then think of a way to find it! As for the person who took the item away, it's obviously an enemy. Could it be a friend? If it's not a new NPC, then it's a hostile player from the city war. Could it be me, a passerby? "
Hence, Yin Feng and the others asked Gilgino who he was, what he took away, where he went, and so on. However, Gilgino could only answer a few questions about what he took away. Han Family's young master shook his head and said, "What are you asking? It must be Thousand Miles Drunk or the Sword Ghost who took away something. The NPC can't answer if it's a player's actions. If it's really an NPC's quest, won't it tell you where you went?"
When the others heard this, they felt that it made sense. However, they were still puzzled by Han Family's young master's appearance. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting for the two people you're looking for," Han Family's young master said.
"They'll come here?" Yin Feng and the others' eyes lit up.
Han Family's young master glanced at them. "With just the few of you? What can they do even if they come?"
Yin Feng smiled. Of course, they were alone, but they could call for reinforcements. Beneath the Tree was still waiting for their news.
"You guys seem pretty confident. There's a backer behind this? Haha, you haven't received the news yet, right? Thousand Miles Drunk has singlehandedly challenged the entire guild, "Han Family's young master said.
"What?" Yin Feng and the others' eyes widened.
"You heard right. It's the entire guild. On Yunling's side, the Archer and Thief classes lost more than half of their forces. In the end, they chose to retreat. Their only opponent is Thousand Miles Drunk, "Han Family's young master said.
The others looked at each other in dismay.
"Kid, what's up with you?" Han Family's young master asked. "You're no longer singing to Thousand Miles Drunk, right? Did you jump ship with the quest? Who bribed you? "
"That's my freedom. Didn't you leave the guild as well? "Yin Feng said.
"That's true … But I didn't go back on my word. I didn't betray the guild for benefits," Han Family's young master said disdainfully.
"Don't be so harsh! I sold it to the guild? "Yin Feng flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"You're your own person, but the quest belongs to the guild. Don't forget, you received this quest as a member of the guild," Han Family's young master said.
"That's right. Unfortunately, I received it as a member of the guild," Yin Feng said.
"You're not childish enough to use the setting to prove yourself, are you … Do you dare say that you only discovered the quest after joining the new guild? Remember, I said discovered, not received! "Han Family's young master said.
Yin Feng was instantly speechless …
"Trash!" Han Family's young master looked at him in disdain as he walked out of the house.
Yin Feng was already gnashing his teeth, but he didn't dare to move. As a member of Thousand Miles Drunk, everyone had heard of Han Family's young master's abilities. Now that he appeared here alone without fear, Yin Feng believed that he definitely had some sort of plan. If he thought that he was easy to bully because he was alone, then he was gravely mistaken.
Endure! Yin Feng told himself that the quest was more important right now. If he died here, then the quest would be gone.
With this thought in mind, Yin Feng forced himself not to flare up. He watched helplessly as Young Master Han walked out of the wooden hut. Then, he heard him shout, "President Gu, there's a mission that's delivered to your doorstep. Do you want to accept it?"
"Fuck!!!" Yin Feng was infuriated. Since Han Family's young master already had such intentions and also had manpower, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep this quest. Rather than that, he might as well kill this Han Family's young master first to vent his anger.
Yin Feng signaled everyone to attack with his eyes, but then he saw a person stand up from the grass, carrying a giant sword. He said disdainfully, "Forget it, we don't want to get involved in this mess."
When Yin Feng heard that there was still a chance, he hurriedly signaled for everyone to not attack.
"Oh!" Han Family's young master nodded. "Then lend me some manpower. Let me take revenge for my old boss."
"Up to you," Gu Xiaoshang said.
Yin Feng almost fainted when he heard this. He hurriedly called for everyone to quickly take down Han Family's young master, but when Gu Xiaoshang made his stance clear, Han Family's young master waved his hand, and countless people stood up from the grass. Arrows and spells were already flying in their direction. Although Yin Feng and the others concentrated their firepower on Han Family's young master, he waved his staff to heal himself and casually walked away. He even took a sip of wine.
Yin Feng and the others left just like that. Countless heads in love poked out from the bushes and looked around. Jiang Jin Jiu, who was thirty miles away, was also watching intently.
"Ah, it's Han Family's young master!!" someone said from thirty miles away.
"I saw him." Jiang Jin Jiu said.
"He joined Rosy Clouds?"
"I don't know."
"Why did someone from Rosy Clouds come here to steal a quest?" someone thought from thirty miles away.
"I don't know."
"Should we notify the guild?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know anything …" someone said with disdain from thirty miles away.
Outside the wooden house, Han Family's young master saw that the group of people had been taken care of. He went to the grass and grabbed a player from Rosy Clouds, saying, "Let's go take a look at that small wooden house. I suspect that there's a quest there."
Gu Xiaoshang was next to him. When he heard this, he glared at him. "You can't go. I said we won't do it."
"The problem is that no one will believe you even if you don't do it now."
"That doesn't matter. This is our principle," Gu Xiaoshang said.
"Okay, it's like this. When I was in the house, I overheard the conversation between the NPC and them. This quest is most likely related to A Thousand Miles Drunk and Sword Ghost's quest. If we accept it, we'll definitely cross paths with those two. No matter how much they hide, they'll still have to face us, "Han Family's young master said.
"That doesn't matter. Anyways, we don't want this kind of quest." Gu Xiaoshang was stubborn.
Her guild members listened to her. Seeing that the guild leader had said this, no one paid any more attention to Han Family's young master. They all returned to their original positions.
Han Family's young master was helpless. "If you don't accept it, someone else will."
"Then let them come." Gu Xiaoshang said.
"How troublesome." Han Family's young master shook his head. He took out a pair of binoculars and looked in a direction and shouted, "Jiang Jin Jiu, come out. I saw your hairstyle."
"F * ck!" Jiang Jin Jiu was depressed. Just as he was about to get up, someone pulled him back from thirty miles away. "Don't fall for it. It's a trick!"
"Big Brother, they even called out their names." Jiang Jin Jiu said.
Thirty miles away, he realized that he was an idiot. Helpless, he followed Jiang Jin Jiu out of the bushes and walked towards Han Family's young master.
The people in the colorful clouds who had surrounded the two of them had a strange look on their faces. They started whispering to the people around them, and the people around them looked for the people around them. In a short while, everyone had their eyes on the two of them. Someone whispered, "They're not holding hands!"
"Sorry!"
"That's true. There are so many people."
"Before this, the two of them were hiding in the bushes."
"Cough, really …"
"What happened? Did you run away again?" Han Family's young master had an accurate prediction.
"I can't beat them. What else can I do but run?" Jiang Jin Jiu faced it calmly.
"They ran so far. I heard that they fought in the Yunling Mountains." Han Family's young master suspected that the information he received was wrong.
"Life lies in movement." Jiang Jin Jiu lied.
"So you didn't see the specifics of the battle?" Han Family's young master asked.
The two of them nodded.
"You also sing to your wine?" Han Family's young master asked thirty miles away.
"Yes." Thirty miles away, he was a yes-man, like a little brother. This feeling was very strange. Han Family's young master wasn't someone who sang to his wine. Even if he did, he wouldn't have a damn position. He was just a commoner. Thirty miles away, he was the leader of a small training team! But right now, he couldn't help but feel that he was inferior.
Aura … This was an aura. Thirty miles away, that was the only way to think.
