This was a difficult question to answer.
To He Xiao, if he answered "yes", Ye Ci would immediately turn hostile. Furthermore, Zero Arsenic had told him not to make things too awkward. He had to at least leave himself a way out. If it really wasn't Gongzi You, then there wouldn't be any problems in real life. But in the game, Gongzi You would definitely not let the matter rest. If the old man's investment was affected because of this, He Xiao would definitely suffer.
But if he answered "no", He Xiao would not be able to convince himself. That's right. Although Zero Arsenic had found a video to prove that the person who robbed the warehouse was a male Gnome Rogue, and definitely not a female Elven Huntress, He Xiao refused to believe it. How could there be such a coincidence? How could there be such a coincidence when their warehouse was raided right after he started his attack on Gongzi You? Who would believe it if he told it to anyone?
He Xiao was at a loss for words. Ye Ci did not press him for an answer. She continued to eat her seafood, as if the answer to the question had nothing to do with her.
Liu Chang was obviously frightened. She tugged at Ye Ci's sleeve and whispered, "Little Ci, you can't say such things. Who are they? We can't afford to offend them."
Her voice was very soft, but in the quiet atmosphere, her voice had reached everyone's ears.
Ye Ci sneered. She looked at Dong Yin and Yi Cang and said calmly, "You think that I can't afford to offend them, but everyone else thinks that I can. If I'm willing to do something like throwing an egg at a rock, how can I not satisfy their expectations?"
Her words were as sharp as knives, stabbing at Dong Yin and Yi Cang. Both of their faces instantly turned pale.
This was especially true for Dong Yin. She knew very well what kind of people Ye Ci and He Xiao were. But she had never thought that what happened today would affect Ye Ci in any way. She only wanted to have a meal. Now that Liu Chang and Ye Ci had said such words, she suddenly felt that she was helping others push Ye Ci to her death. She was on the verge of tears.
Although she liked He Xiao, but … She had never wanted to hurt Ye Ci. They had been friends for so many years. Furthermore, the relationship between the parents of the four families was extremely complicated. If Ye Ci's family were to suffer because of her and Yi Cang's mistake, the parents of the two families would not be able to live a good life.
As she thought of this, she raised her head to look at Yi Cang. Yi Cang's face was pale and his eyes were averted. He was probably thinking the same thing as her.
Zero Arsenic was slightly stunned when he heard Ye Ci's words. He stood up and poured her a cup of tea. He smiled, "Master, you're overthinking it. We're only out for a meal today. Qianshan only asked because he still has some doubts. He's not suspecting you. Don't overthink it."
Ye Ci picked up the cup of tea and smiled at Zero Arsenic. She did not hold back, "Doubts? I'm afraid you've already confirmed it. "
Zero Arsenic saw the fire in Ye Ci's eyes and knew that she was angry. He quickly stepped on He Xiao's foot under the table. He Xiao, who had been stunned, laughed dryly, "Ye Ci, look at what you're saying. We all know each other. There's no need to say such hurtful things."
Ye Ci sighed and put down her teacup. She looked at He Xiao with a sincere gaze and said, "There are some unpleasant things between us. Whether it's the Hard Shell Tortoise, the Frosty Wasteland's First Clear, or our usual conflicts. I admit that I'm a rebellious person. There are some things that I've done that aren't appropriate. It's natural that you're unhappy. "
"Look at you, what are you talking about?" Although what Ye Ci pointed out was something that The Setting Sun had always been concerned about, it was precisely because he cared. It was precisely because of this that he had to pretend that he did not care. Otherwise, if a grown man like him were to argue with a girl who wasn't even 20 years old, he would lose face.
He shook his head and said calmly, "That's all in the past. Moreover …" He paused. He was very unhappy, but he still had to say it, "Moreover, when you were in our guild, you brought so many First Clears to Blade of Steel. If you talk about this now, you're not giving me any face."
Ye Ci put on a fake smile. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Zero Arsenic, who was smiling. She then looked at He Xiao and said calmly, "Although the post that day shocked me, we were still in the dungeon when it was posted, so we didn't see it. By the time I saw it, it was already in the past …"
"That post was a misunderstanding. It was a misunderstanding." He Xiao quickly interrupted Ye Ci. The post incident was too much of a failure. He didn't want to talk about it at all.
However, just because he didn't want to talk about it didn't mean that Ye Ci would let it go. She looked at He Xiao's awkward expression and continued, "I thought so too. How could Guild Leader Thousand Mountain do something so immoral?"
He Xiao's expression became even uglier.
"Of course, it's normal for you to suspect that I stole your warehouse. There were so many disagreements before I left the guild, and so many misunderstandings after I left. Anyone would take revenge. However … "Ye Ci took a deep breath and looked at Zero Arsenic and He Xiao with a very sincere expression," I really didn't do it. "
He Xiao didn't say anything. He didn't believe her. He wasn't the only one who didn't believe her. Yi Cang, Dong Yin, and Zero Arsenic didn't believe her either. However, no one dared to say it out loud.
"I know you don't believe me, but I'm not an idiot." Ye Ci stood up and sighed, "Even though I'm doing okay in the game, in reality, I'm just an ordinary student. I'm only nineteen years old. My parents are ordinary workers. Our family is the most ordinary of people."
At this point, she raised her head and looked at He Xiao and Zero Arsenic. She smiled bitterly, "What about you two? Even though I've never asked, I know that anyone who can develop such a large guild in such a short period of time is definitely not an ordinary person. I only play the game to earn some money to support my family. I only want to live a peaceful life. Even though we had our differences, it's just a small matter. Anyone can encounter it in a game. However, is robbing your guild warehouse a small matter? Is it something you can do in a game? I'm just an ordinary person who wants to live a peaceful life. If I did that, would you let me go? "
She shook her head, "I don't think so."
No one said anything. Ye Ci sighed again and smiled, "That's all I have to say. It's up to you whether you believe me or not."
"Gongzi …" Zero Arsenic wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ye Ci.
She looked at He Xiao and said, "Yi Cang and Dong Yin both know where my family is and who my family is. If you want to ask, they'll definitely tell you. If you insist that I did it, then I have nothing to say. My family is waiting for you to deal with it. "
Ye Ci pulled Liu Chang up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. We'll take our leave."
No one raised any objections. They just watched as the two of them left the room … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
