Just as expected. The Red Dust waited for the remaining members to start rubbing their Return City Stones. Then, he mounted his horse and said to Ye Ci, "This way, there's a shortcut to Gale City."
Ye Ci knew about the shortcut. In her previous life, Ye Ci was very familiar with the Southern Continent. However, she couldn't say that she knew about the shortcut because of her current identity. So, she turned her horse around and followed The Red Dust.
The Red Dust didn't stop for even a second. It seemed that he knew that it was dangerous to ride a horse back to Gale City alone. If the other guild revived and chased after him, he would be in deep trouble.
Ye Ci knew what he was thinking, which was why she sped up and followed Fluttering Red Feather without saying a word.
Fluttering Red Feather finally came to a stop when he saw that he had passed two maps and was about to enter Hurricane City's map. She then turned to Ye Ci and asked, "Gongzi, how did you know that Isle of Heroes was going to ambush us?"
So that guild was called Isle of Heroes. Ye Ci thought for a while, but she couldn't remember any grudges between The Black Plum Family and Isle of Heroes. In her previous life, when the two guilds were fighting to the death, she probably didn't pay attention to who was who.
"I heard about it." Ye Ci smiled and gave a half-truth.
The Red Dust couldn't accept this answer. He pulled on the reins of his horse and stared blankly at Ye Ci, "What do you mean you heard about it?"
Ye Ci pursed her lips. Actually, she had heard about it. However, she wasn't a talkative person. She couldn't be bothered to explain things like this. So, she stopped and looked at The Red Dust, "So, you should pay attention to your subordinates."
"What do you mean by that?" The Red Dust's expression changed. Since he was the leader of a large guild, it was impossible for him to not understand something like this.
Ye Ci knew that he was anxious, but how could she explain it clearly? She just happened to hear it. She didn't see anyone and didn't know the cause and effect. She only heard half of it, so how could she use it as a case study? She waved her hand. "That's all I can say. I don't know anything else. Be careful."
"But …" The Red Dust seemed to know something, but he couldn't figure it out.
Ye Ci ignored him. She squeezed her little red horse's belly and galloped away quickly.
In fact, she was quite familiar with the Southern Continent. At least in her previous life, this was the paradise where she made her fortune. After entering Gale City, she found a warehouse and replenished her potions. She then went to the equipment shop to repair her equipment. After that, she bought a Flight Fragment and planned to return home.
But on second thought, he felt that since he was already here, it would be a waste if he didn't grind some levels. The Fourth Prince was good at AoE attacks. Coincidentally, there was a good leveling map outside of Gale City. It wouldn't be a bad idea to level up the Fourth Prince.
After making this decision, Ye Ci brought The Fourth Prince out of Gale City.
The map outside of Gale City wasn't high level. After circling around a mountain, they arrived at a bandit nest. The monsters here were all level 15 humanoid monsters, but they appeared in groups. They attacked players in groups and respawned quickly. Therefore, new players rarely came here to level up. But for Ye Ci and the Fourth Prince, this was a good leveling place.
Ye Ci summoned The Fourth Prince and rushed forward. A few AoE skills were enough to wipe out the monsters. If there were any that were missed, Ye Ci would use Volley to finish them off.
The monsters here were low-level, so Ye Ci didn't have much experience. But for the level 1 The Fourth Prince, this was a good leveling place. In just three or four days, the Fourth Prince had already reached level 17.
After logging off, Ye Ci had just made herself a bowl of noodles when she heard the sound of a key unlocking the door. Her heart skipped a beat. She knew that her parents and Bai Mo had returned. She hurriedly ran over and opened the door before the key was unlocked. She excitedly called out, "Dad, mom, you're back!"
But as soon as she called out, she froze. The first person to squeeze through the door was a boy around fourteen or fifteen years old. His skin was fair and his face was slightly pale. He didn't seem to be in a good mood. In short, he was completely different from Ye Ci's cheerful face. He raised his head and met Ye Ci's gaze. He didn't say anything, only nodding at Ye Ci as a greeting.
Who is this?
Zuo Xiaolan squeezed into the house and pulled Ye Ci aside, "You're already an adult. Why aren't you letting us in? Are you trying to collect tolls?" She then tugged at the boy and spoke in a gentle voice, "Polang, this will be your home from now on. Don't be shy."
Ye Ci stared at Zuo Xiaolan in bewilderment. She then noticed that Ye Nantian had followed Zuo Xiaolan into the house. Ye Ci sniffled and looked at Zuo Xiaolan, "Little Ci, why aren't you eating properly again? Don't we still have food at home? Hurry up and get some for Polang. "
Ye Ci was even more confused. What's going on?
Bai Mo was walking at the back of the group. He had more luggage than he had when he left. He yelled at Ye Ci, "Don't just stand there. Come and help me. There's more downstairs."
Ye Ci was still confused when she saw Bai Mo toss the luggage in the house. She grabbed Bai Mo and dragged him downstairs. The situation was too strange. She needed someone to explain to her what was going on.
Bai Mo was an honest man. He did not keep Ye Ci in suspense. He explained the situation to Ye Ci as they moved their luggage upstairs. The boy upstairs was the grandson of Zuo Xiaolan's mentor, Tan Polang.
His parents and grandparents had passed away because of the plane crash. Zuo Xiaolan and Ye Nantian had rushed over because of this. Old Tan didn't have any relatives at home, so there was no one to take care of his funeral. Therefore, this group of students had to take care of everything. After the funeral was taken care of, this child was the only one left. He didn't have a guardian, he wasn't old enough to be independent, and he didn't want to go to the orphanage. In the end, this group of students decided to adopt this child.
Because Zuo Xiaolan had deep feelings for Old Man Tan, she finally managed to get this precious gem back to her family after a round of fighting.
"I see." Ye Ci hugged a box with both hands and struggled to move it upstairs. She was panting heavily, "These things are all this boy's, right?"
"Yes." Bai Mo was a man and had a good body. However, after going back and forth so many times, he was also a little out of breath.
"Then this child is sleeping in the same room as you?"
"Ah, of course. If not, he'd be sleeping in the same room as you! " Bai Mo rolled his eyes at Ye Ci. He obviously felt that Ye Ci's IQ had dropped substantially after not seeing her for a few days.
"Give me what you can! I don't know this. I mean, there aren't any extra beds in the house, right? If he sleeps in the same room as you, you'll definitely sleep on the floor. "Ye Ci was gloating.
This time, it was Bai Mo's turn to frown, "Why didn't I think of this? It's winter now …"
Although the two of them talked a lot, Ye Ci was still very enthusiastic about Tan Polang during dinner. Not to mention anything else, losing his parents at the age of fourteen or fifteen would make anyone's heart ache …
Tan Polang obviously hadn't recovered from the shock. He still didn't seem to be in high spirits. He didn't even have an appetite to eat. After eating less than a third of the small bowl of rice, he sat silently to the side. Zuo Xiaolan was even more distressed when she saw him like this. She quickly arranged for the child to take a bath in the bathroom and sent him to sleep.
That night, Bai Mo slept on the bed. His 1.5-meter bed was fine for two people to sleep on, but he always felt awkward. However, Tan Polang was very quiet the whole night, but Bai Mo felt that he was a little too quiet.
When Bai Mo woke up in the morning, he saw Tan Polang sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at Bai Mo's game cabin in the corner. He thought that the child was daydreaming again, so he didn't ask much. He just patted Tan Polang's hair and let him sleep for a while.
As soon as Bai Mo left, Tan Polang also got out of bed. After he left the room, he looked up and saw Ye Ci's room open. There was also a game cabin in the room, so he stood there in a daze for a long time. He didn't come back to his senses until Zuo Xiaolan called him to eat. He quickly walked to the table and sat down, ready to eat.
"Polang, eat this. It's Auntie's best dish. Your brother and sister all like it!" Zuo Xiaolan picked up a fried eggplant box and put it in Tan Polang's bowl.
"Thank you." Tan Polang didn't look up and just thanked her in a low voice.
"You don't have to thank me. Auntie, Uncle, and your brother and sister will take you out for a walk later. We have a lot of good scenery around here!" Ye Nantian chuckled and looked happy.
"I don't want to go." Tan Polang's voice wasn't loud.
However, Zuo Xiaolan and Ye Nantian's happy spirits suddenly cooled down. No one knew what to say, and the atmosphere during the meal became a little awkward.
Ye Ci looked up and looked at Tan Polang, who was sitting next to her with his head down and eating rice. She narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "There's still a long way to go. If you make yourself so sad now, will you still be in the mood to watch tragic movies in the future?"
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old child was sensible, and could be considered half an adult. There were many things that they could understand, but sometimes, people liked to indulge themselves. If they could indulge themselves, they would indulge themselves. Just like how Firework was unwilling to write … Well, I've gone off topic. (To be continued.
