Ye Ci did not pay much attention to this random message. She only thought that it was a normal player who saw her and sent her a message. Normally, she would not respond to such messages. However, she was in a good mood, so she casually replied, "I'm not busy right now, but I'll be very busy soon."
To her surprise, the other party quickly replied, "If it's convenient for you, can we meet?"
Ye Ci felt that something was amiss when she saw this message. She ordered The Fourth Prince to stop running. Although The Fourth Prince was unhappy with this order, he still cooperated because of the barbecue. He stood there obediently with his head held high and his chest puffed out proudly.
Who was this person? Since this person wanted to meet, there was a 90% chance that this message was not sent by a normal player. At the very least, it was sent by someone who had met her a few times but had not added her as a friend. There were so many people like this that Ye Ci could not count them all. Who could it be?
After thinking for a while, Ye Ci felt that it was better to reply, "Who are you?"
"You'll know who I am once we meet." The other party seemed to be very concerned about his identity and was unwilling to tell Ye Ci who he was.
However, Ye Ci only sneered when she saw this reply. I'll know who you are once we meet. If you're an enemy, who knows if you'll kill me when we meet? Do you think I'm an idiot?
"Sorry, I'm not very curious. If you think it's cool to play mysterious, I suggest that you find someone else." Ye Ci replied bluntly. Then, she ordered The Fourth Prince to continue running. She did not respond to any of the messages sent by the other party.
"I don't have any other intentions. I just want to meet with you. That's why I'm contacting you."
"Don't worry, don't mind me. I don't mean any harm. I really have something that I want to talk to you about personally."
… …
Ye Ci ignored the player, and the player continued to send messages to her. Ye Ci really wanted to turn off the stranger's private message, but before she could do so, a line of words popped up in front of her, completely dispelling the thought.
"Gongzi You, I'm Wandering Cloud. I really don't have any other intentions. I just have something to discuss with you."
Seeing this, Ye Ci froze for a moment and immediately told the Fourth Prince to stop. Ye Ci was surprised. No matter how she thought about it, she would never have thought that the person who sent the message was Wandering Cloud. What surprised her the most was the fact that Wandering Cloud had sent her a message. What was he trying to do?
Could it be that NightAndDay had told Wandering Cloud about what he had told him? It couldn't be. NightAndDay was the guild leader of a large guild. If he was able to develop a small guild to its current state, he should be quite smart. He shouldn't do something so stupid.
Then why was Wandering Cloud looking for her? Don't tell her that Wandering Cloud was looking for her to chat. Don't tell her that Wandering Cloud was looking for her to flirt with her either. This was not the same as her past life. They had gone through so many conflicts. She did not think that Wandering Cloud would have the guts to do anything to her.
Since there was nothing between them, why was Wandering Cloud looking for her?
After thinking for a while, Ye Ci finally replied, "I don't think there's anything between us that we can talk about." Although Ye Ci had always hated Wandering Cloud, she did not want to deal with him personally. After all, in this life, it would be more appropriate for NightAndDay to deal with him.
Although Ye Ci enjoyed the pleasure of taking revenge for the smallest grievance, she did not want to waste too much energy on unnecessary people. Therefore, before Wandering Cloud provoked her too much, she felt that NightAndDay was more interested in dealing with him. How could she take away someone else's pleasure?
"I think we did have some misunderstandings in the past. That's why every time we meet, we'll meet on the battlefield. We're both guild leaders, so we should know that such misunderstandings are not beneficial to the development of the guild, right?" Seeing that he could not convince Ye Ci, Wandering Cloud brought up the reason of leaving the guild, hoping to convince Ye Ci.
However, Ye Ci laughed coldly, "I'm not the leader of Up Everyday. I'm just a bystander, unlike you. If you want to reconcile, why don't you look for The Depth Of A Stranger? He should be idling around in the guild encampment right now. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to talk to you."
"Gongzi You, don't be like this. I admit that I was wrong to steal your kills, but I did try my best to mediate between you and me. Although I didn't succeed in the end, you should know that I don't want to make an enemy out of you. I'm sincere today, so why do you keep me at arm's length?"
Ye Ci could not help but laugh when she saw Wandering Cloud's message. If he had sent this message to someone else, that person might have agreed to it. Why was this world so strange? Those who were thick-skinned were usually those who had enough to eat.
It was rare to see someone as thick-skinned as Wandering Cloud to say something like that. Thinking back, Wandering Cloud was not this explicit in her past life. No matter what he did, he would always put on a veil of concealment. So why would he say something like that now? The only answer was that he must have encountered something that he could not solve.
Should I meet him? No matter what it is, I should leave a way out for myself unless it's absolutely necessary.
Ye Ci had been thinking about this question for a long time, but her mouth made a decision faster than her brain.
"I don't have the time right now. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again. Let's wait until next time." Ye Ci's mouth had already rejected Wandering Cloud's request. Fortunately, she was smart enough to leave a way out for both parties.
"But, I'm really in a hurry …" Wandering Cloud replied subconsciously. However, he paused for a moment and calmed himself down. "Alright. I'll make another appointment with you in two days' time." Wandering Cloud calmly replied, "Alright. Let's meet again in two days' time."
It was indeed something urgent. Ye Ci narrowed her eyes and cut off the conversation with Wandering Cloud. She then contacted Green Hill's Moon, "Are you there?"
"Good morning, Boss. Have you eaten yet?" Green Hill's Moon immediately replied three seconds later. Although it was only a private message, Ye Ci could hear the excitement in his voice. It was as if she was looking at a puppy wagging its tail at her. It was extremely flattering.
"I've eaten."
"Boss, you must have something to tell me. I'm all ears. I'll do my best to help you!" Green Hill's Moon's happy expression made Ye Ci speechless. This guy was too … Perhaps in Green Hill's Moon's eyes, she was a sucker for money. As long as she looked for him, he would definitely give her money. It was no wonder that Green Hill's Moon was so excited.
"I want to investigate someone."
"No problem. But, boss, about the money …" Green Hill's Moon was indeed a businessman. He always calculated everything before doing anything. However, this was exactly what Ye Ci liked about him. After all, sometimes, it was best to calculate everything clearly.
"100,000 gold coins."
"Seems like this person is not as important as the previous one."
"Just as important." Ye Ci put on a fake smile, "If I remember correctly, if I were to report you for investigating The Setting Sun … Hehe." Ye Ci did not finish her sentence, but her two chuckles left Ye Ci's imagination running wild.
"If this person is as dangerous as The Setting Sun, I won't do it for less than 1,000,000 gold coins, let alone 100,000 gold coins." Green Hill's Moon frowned. He did not know who Ye Ci was investigating, but the price was indeed too low.
"It's not that big of a deal." Ye Ci slowly said a name, "Wandering Cloud, the Vice President of the Tang dynasty. Investigate his recent relationship with NightAndDay and …" She could not help but laugh, "Go ahead. You should know what I want to know."
Green Hill's Moon could not help but roll his eyes. He knew that he would not be able to gain any advantage when dealing with this overly intelligent woman. However, it was fine. Wandering Cloud's background was not as big as The Setting Sun's. It was worth it if he could earn 20,000 gold coins in one or two days.
"Alright, no problem. Just wait for the news. "Green Hill's Moon agreed to Ye Ci's request and quickly hung up.
After doing all this, Ye Ci happily patted The Fourth Prince and continued her journey. She wanted to go to Dark Clay City and did not want to waste any time.
The Rand Port in the Swamp of Sorrows was a bustling port. Not only were there cargo ships from various continents, but there were also players from other continents. This was the northernmost part of the Eastern Continent. It was at the edge of the Eastern Continent. Furthermore, the City Lord, Moore, had declared his independence in the year 374 of the Fate calendar. This meant that a long time before players entered the game, this place had become a neutral territory. Therefore, other than Dark Clay City, PvP battles could occur anywhere in the Swamp of Sorrows.
If a player did not know how to PvP, had bad equipment, or was not high level, it was best not to set foot in this place. If they died, they would not even have the chance to pick up their loot.
Although there were many players from other continents exploring the Swamp of Sorrows, the Eastern Continent had the most players. To ensure their safety, they would form groups of three to five to find a spawn point for Fishmen to level up. This way, they would not disturb others and could ensure their own safety.
Therefore, when Ye Ci rode The Fourth Prince into the Swamp of Sorrows, she was greeted by a scene of red and green.
Although it was rare for solo players to enter the Swamp of Sorrows, it did not mean that there were none. However, if one was not strong enough, they would be easily slaughtered by players from other continents. For example, the road to Dark Clay City was littered with the skeletons of players. It seemed that the killing had never stopped. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
