"What is it?" Fleeting Time's gaze was still fixed on the white fog, but he quickly shifted his attention to Ye Ci.
Ye Ci stared at Fleeting Time, and changed her question, "Is the battle over on your side over?"
"Yup, it's over." Fleeting Time nodded. He knew what Ye Ci was about to say, but he did not pursue the matter. After all, Ye Ci had her own considerations, and it was fine if she did not want to talk about something that she should not talk about. Fleeting Time could not help but feel a little disappointed. He was conflicted. On one hand, he admired Gongzi You's independence, but on the other hand, he did not want Gongzi You to work so hard alone. He wanted to say, "I'll be there for you no matter what." But he was in no position to say such words. In the end, he could only look at Gongzi You with a smile, pretending that he did not notice anything.
Ye Ci was surprised by his answer, "It's not even 72 hours yet, and you're already done with the fortifications?"
"Yup." Fleeting Time nodded, "There's a need for so many people to be useful. Isn't it a waste of money?"
Ye Ci chuckled. It seems that strength in numbers is a burden to him. "Do you want me to go over, or do I have to go back?"
Fleeting Time blinked at Ye Ci and let out a sigh, "Let's go. I'm sure Absalom has more to say to you."
As expected, Absalom was still full of nonsense. He was bargaining, acting pitiful, and trying to appease Ye Ci. But no matter what Absalom said, Ye Ci remained seated on the rock and fed Ol 'Six meat from time to time.
Ye Ci glanced at Absalom, "I think that spring water is the best way to quench a newbie's thirst."
"Hmm? What? " Absalom was still trying to persuade Ye Ci to bring less of her elites with her. He was confused by Ye Ci's words, and stared at Ye Ci in confusion.
Silent Hymn and Fleeting Time, on the other hand, could not help but chuckle.
Ye Ci raised an eyebrow. She stared at the two who were laughing, and sighed. It seems that this man did not realize that I was trying to tell him to drink some water and let me go. She was really helpless. She looked up at the blue sky and said, "It's nothing. If you're not done, you can continue."
Fleeting Time leaned against a rock opposite Ye Ci, and his eyes were curled into a beautiful smile. The more he interacted with Gongzi You, the more surprises this woman gave him. He had never thought that Gongzi You would make such a lame joke.
Absalom's mind was completely focused on Ye Ci's words. He would have been able to see Ye Ci's impatience if he had been thinking about it for even a moment. But he was too focused on getting more information out of Ye Ci that he did not have the time to think about it.
Ye Ci was looking around absentmindedly when she saw a woman in a fiery red robe walking towards them. Ye Ci took a closer look at the woman, and found her familiar. The woman took the initiative to greet Ye Ci, "Hey, Gongzi You. Do you still remember me? We've met the last time you came to the Western Continent. "
Ye Ci had a good memory. She did not meet many people during her last visit to the Western Continent, and she only met one woman. Ye Ci smiled, "It's been a while, Sour Apple." As she spoke, her gaze landed on a woman standing beside Sour Apple. She was dressed in an aqua blue robe with intricate patterns embroidered on the sleeves, collar, and hem of her skirt. She carried a staff on her back, and a large gemstone was embedded at the tip of the staff that glowed faintly.
It seemed that this woman was one of the main Priests of Genesis. The set of equipment she was wearing was the ultimate equipment for Priests before Level 60. Not only was every set complete, but it was also enchanted with magic and embedded with gems. It was clear that her healing ability was not bad. Otherwise, Genesis would not have given her such a set of equipment. While Ye Ci was sizing up the woman, the latter was also staring at Ye Ci, as if she was trying to bore a hole through her skin. Ye Ci had always ignored the stares of others, but there was something strange about the woman's stare that displeased Ye Ci.
Absalom immediately shut his mouth when he saw Sour Apple and White Fairytale behind her. To him, it was better if fewer people knew about the affairs of the upper echelons of the guild. He greeted them with a smile, and Silent Hymn returned the greeting with a smile. His gaze shifted from Ye Ci to Fleeting Time, and then to White Fairytale. He then moved to the side with a smile on his face, as if he was enjoying the show.
Absalom furrowed his brows and shot a glare at Sour Apple. Sour Apple sighed helplessly. She was extremely embarrassed. White Fairytale wanted to visit Gongzi You when she saw her riding on her dragon, but she did not mention that she was there to see Gongzi You. Sour Apple tried to stop her from coming over, but White Fairytale insisted on coming. Worried that White Fairytale would cause trouble, Sour Apple had no choice but to follow after White Fairytale.
Fleeting Time naturally noticed White Fairytale as well, but his expression did not change at all. His gaze swept past her as if she was just an ordinary member of his guild, an ordinary person that was not worth mentioning at all.
Other than Gongzi You, all of White Fairytale's attention was on Fleeting Time. Of course, she knew who the woman was. She was not an idiot, nor was she blind or deaf. She was well aware of all the rumors about Fleeting Time and this woman, and it was because of this that she wanted to take a look at the woman. She wanted to see just what kind of person Fleeting Time was. She knew that Fleeting Time did not like her, but she could not let go of him. She had even reached the point of humiliation. If Fleeting Time did not like her, then it would be better for him to hate her. Isn't hate a type of emotion? Doesn't hate have a place in a person's heart as well? She was willing to do it if that was the only way to stop his gaze.
However, Fleeting Time's cold gaze had caused White Fairytale's blood to freeze. She knew that Fleeting Time would be unhappy with her appearance, and he might even be angry at her. However, she did not expect him to look at her as if she was nothing more than a speck of dust. He did not even frown, and his expression did not change at all. It was as if he did not care about her at all.
White Fairytale bit her lower lip until it turned white, and continued to observe the woman who had caused Fleeting Time's gaze to stop. Just like Fleeting Time, her silver hair was tied up in a ponytail, and her amber eyes were filled with arrogance and wariness. Her skin was fair, and her lips were pursed tightly. Her appearance was not outstanding, but there was something about her that made it hard for anyone to look at her directly. She was not tall, and her body was thin. She stood beside a boulder, and the gigantic Dragon was squatting beside her. It was very strange. Logically speaking, no one should be more eye-catching than such a big and domineering dragon. However, this woman was able to make everyone see her at a glance.
Her appearance was not outstanding, and her equipment was also dusty, but it was just that magical. As long as she was around, everyone's gaze would skip over all the powerful existences and focus directly on her.
So this is Gongzi You?
She had thought that Gongzi You was prettier than she was, gentler than she was, and loved him more than she did. But now, it seemed that none of those traits were correct. But why is this woman able to capture his attention?
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Ye Ci stared at the female Cleric with great interest. Truth be told, the Cleric was very beautiful. She was even prettier than Dong Yin and Peacock Blue. Her gaze was as gentle as water. Her gaze was fixed on Fleeting Time, and it was filled with resentment and passion. She looked at the Cleric, and then at Fleeting Time, and a strange smile appeared on her face. Fleeting Time, who had been staring at the Cleric, had a bad feeling about this.
Fleeting Time wanted to say something, but what should he say now? I have nothing to do with this woman. He's just trying to cover it up. Should we go somewhere else and talk? Seeing that woman's expression as if she was watching a show, she would not leave even if she wanted to. Then I have to say something.
White Fairytale walked up to Ye Ci while Fleeting Time was having a headache. She stood beside Ye Ci and extended her hand to Ye Ci, "Nice to meet you. I'm White Fairytale."
Ye Ci watched as the female Cleric walked up to her. Her willowy waist swayed gently as she walked. If Ye Ci were a man, it would be impossible for her not to be tempted by her beauty. As for the hand that was reaching towards him, it was even more beautiful. Her fingers were like scallions, and her nails were pink and oval. Her voice was soft and gentle, as if it had been mixed with honey. It was so delicate that it made one unable to bear to be moved.
But …
What does this have to do with me?
Under normal circumstances, when there were strangers, shouldn't there be someone to introduce them to each other? However, no one present introduced him. That meant that this person was either unimportant and did not need to be introduced, or they did not know how to introduce him. But no matter what the situation was, Ye Ci felt that it had nothing to do with her. In her heart, she had nothing to do with Genesis other than the cooperation agreement she had with the guild. That was why she had nothing to do with anyone in the guild.
But now, the Cleric was introducing her to everyone. What is she trying to do?
Ye Ci stared at White Fairytale's smiling face, and then at her fair hand. She raised an eyebrow and looked at the members of Genesis. They all had different expressions on their faces. For example, Absalom and Sour Apple were behaving strangely, while Fleeting Time was frowning. Ye Ci then shifted her gaze back to White Fairytale.
White Fairytale's hand was stretched out in an awkward position. It took Ye Ci ten seconds to complete the entire process. But she did not withdraw her hand despite the awkwardness. She continued to extend her hand with a faint smile on her face. White Fairytale stole a glance at Fleeting Time, and noticed a slight frown on Fleeting Time's face when she extended her hand. His eyes were fixed on her coldly, as if she was an unpardonable enemy.
"Gongzi You." Ye Ci did not care about White Fairytale's feelings. She let White Fairytale's hand continue to linger in the air for a long while before she raised her own hand and let go of White Fairytale's hand after giving White Fairytale her name.
Fleeting Time, who had been standing still all this while, suddenly walked up to Ye Ci. He slapped White Fairytale's hand away and spoke to Ye Ci calmly, "Bad skills are contagious."
Ye Ci raised an eyebrow. If she was not mistaken, this was the second time Fleeting Time had slapped away someone's hand. The first time was Sour Apple, and this time it was White Fairytale. And the reason he used to slap her hand away was the same …
It had to be said that Fleeting Time was an unlikable person. Even though he had the appearance of a peach blossom, and many people could not resist pouncing on him, his personality … was truly detestable.
But for some reason, Ye Ci found Fleeting Time to be a little cute when he spoke with a straight face.
White Fairytale's face and eyes turned red. She lowered her head and suppressed her tears for a long time before she raised her head and gave Ye Ci a sad smile, "I'm Fleeting Time's classmate."
