Amidst the sea of cheers and applause, Ye Ci saw a person walk past the sea of spectators and sit down beside her. He was wearing a cloak just like her. In fact, there were many people wearing cloaks nowadays. Whether it was to keep a low profile, to hide from enemies, or to show off, this cloak was really a good item. It could satisfy so many needs.
However, Ye Ci felt that it was strange. Why was this person sitting beside her?
There was a story behind this. She didn't know when it started, but whenever Ye Ci went to a public place, no one would sit beside her. This included Bai Mo, her parents, and the future Tan Polang. No one seemed to have noticed this problem, but for some reason, the seat beside her would always be empty. Over time, Ye Ci had gotten used to it. She even thought that maybe her body was emitting a kind of super low negative pressure that no one could resist. Otherwise … otherwise, why was the seat beside her always empty for so many years, whether it was eating fast food or watching movies?
It was just like how it was normal for her to come and watch the competition. Her equipment was so ordinary, and even her seat was so casual. However, in the crowded arena, it was strange that the seat beside her was empty. Just when Ye Ci thought that it was nothing out of the ordinary, someone suddenly sat beside her. Is this the Red Rain of the Heavens?
It was because of this reason that when this person climbed through the crowd and sat down beside her, Ye Ci glanced at him a few times. However, it was only a few glances, and she looked away. She was only here to watch the competition. She didn't need to care about anything else, let alone such a small matter.
The cheers of the spectators became louder. Ye Ci looked away and focused all her attention on the battle that was about to begin. This was her first time watching Fanged Sheep live. She needed to take a good look at it. After all, a recorded video would have many limitations due to the player's angle of view. However, it was a different story for a live broadcast like this. Players could even turn on the small screen and adjust their view to get a full view of their opponent, whom they had never encountered before.
Fleeting Time's movements were extremely fast. If not for Ye Ci's familiarity with his fighting style, she would have been dazzled by his movements. He disappeared from the arena in a flash. Everyone began searching for him. Ye Ci was the only one who immediately looked up into the sky, and saw a black dot shooting towards Fanged Sheep like an arrow. Fanged Sheep was caught off guard by Fleeting Time's sudden attack, but he was able to react quickly. He somersaulted backwards and stood out of Fleeting Time's range. He then drew his bow and fired an arrow at Fleeting Time, who had yet to arrive at his position.
Fleeting Time, who was still floating in the air, did not expect the arrow to graze his face with a slight twist of his body. It seemed like a close call, but the arrow had missed its target by a hair's breadth. What was even more surprising was that Fleeting Time's body seemed to have escaped the gravitational pull of the Earth's core. After dodging the arrow, Fleeting Time turned his body in the air and launched another attack at the sheep.
The experts saw the artistry, while the laymen saw the excitement. It only took a few seconds for Fleeting Time to do so, but it was enough to earn the praises of countless players. Of course, there were also a few players who were troubled by Fleeting Time's maneuver. Ye Ci narrowed her eyes. It had been 10 months since she last sparred with Fleeting Time after her level dropped to 1. Fleeting Time has improved again. He's even able to pull off something like this. Ye Ci could not help but grit her teeth in anger.
Fanged Sheep did not expect such a move from Fleeting Time. He barely dodged the attack and leaped to the left. But Ye Ci saw a system notification that Fleeting Time had landed a hit on Fanged Sheep. It was not a critical hit, but the fact that Fleeting Time was able to land his first hit on Fanged Sheep at such close range was impressive.
"Who do you think will win?" A familiar voice rang out beside Ye Ci as she was engrossed in the PvP battle. Ye Ci's relaxed body immediately tensed up. She turned around and stared at the cloaked figure beside her. Her eyes were sharp, and her lips were pursed tightly. She seemed to have heard a voice that she was not supposed to hear.
"What's wrong? Is it strange that I'm here, Gongzi You? " Perhaps it was Ye Ci's sharp gaze, or perhaps it was Ye Ci's frightening expression, but the cloaked player spoke again. He then turned to face Ye Ci and removed the hood of his cloak, revealing a handsome face.
Ye Ci's amber eyes narrowed. It was as if there were thousands of sharp needles in her eyes, and they pierced straight into the person's face. The cloaked player ignored Ye Ci's sharp gaze and revealed a comforting smile, "Long time no see, Gongzi You."
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes and retracted her bloodthirsty gaze. Her thin lips curled into a faint smile, "Isn't that so, Breeze? It's been a long time since we last met."
Breeze's gaze was gentle. He did not look like the leader of a super guild. He sat beside Ye Ci quietly and amiably, as if he was an old friend. There were faint wrinkles in his eyes and he looked exceptionally gentle. However, his gentleness made Ye Ci feel alarmed. She was not afraid of clashing with Breeze. She was only wondering why this man would appear in front of her at a time like this.
Just what was his purpose?
After that battle, Ye Ci had completely faded away from the competition for the top of Fate. She had lowered herself into the dust and started from scratch. Although news about her was still flying around in the game, and there were bounties everywhere, it also meant that everyone knew that Gongzi You was no longer scary. Gongzi You was no longer the God that stood at the top of the world. She had fallen to the bottom of the dust. It was because of this that everyone dared to hunt her down and cause trouble for her. Although Ye Ci did not mind this kind of life, it was clear that Gongzi You was nothing more than a fleeting cloud.
Why is Breeze looking for me at a time like this? Ye Ci did not believe that Breeze was here. Her instincts told her that Breeze was here for a reason. But she could not guess what it was. She had not been paying attention to the affairs of the world for a long time, and she had no idea what was going on in the game. After the Battle of Sodom, Ye Ci suddenly felt a sense of relief. She had completely let go of a heavy burden, and was immersed in her own world. Be it killing or being killed, it was a life of extreme self-centeredness. It was a life of extreme self-centeredness.
But no matter how slow a lion was, it would still be a lion. It would never turn into a cat.
Ye Ci recollected her thoughts and turned to look at the 360-degree screen in the center of the arena, "Even though the two of them are evenly matched, I believe that he will be the winner in the end."
"Because he's your man?" Breeze chuckled. His tone sounded friendly.
Ye Ci rolled her eyes at him, as if to say, "You're too nosy."
"Am I not?" Breeze shrugged. He knew what Ye Ci was trying to say, but he did not think that he was wrong.
"Fleeting Time is just Fleeting Time, just like how I am just Gongzi You. I believe that he will be the winner in the end. It has nothing to do with our personal relationship." Ye Ci said calmly. It was rare for her to talk about Fleeting Time in such a calm manner. No, she had never talked about Fleeting Time in such a manner before. But today, she was talking about it with Breeze. Therefore, it had to be said that fate was a mysterious thing.
"Oh? Then why are you so sure? " Breeze was beginning to feel curious. He stared at Ye Ci's beautiful side profile with a gentle smile on his face.
"Because I'm the only one who can defeat him. So, before I defeat him, he must not lose." Ye Ci's voice was not loud, but Breeze was stunned when he heard those words. His gaze on Ye Ci's side profile deepened.
Then, he laughed, "Gongzi You, it's been a while. You're still as arrogant as ever."
Ye Ci pursed her lips and looked at Breeze with narrowed eyes, "Arrogant? This is confidence. " She then retracted her sharp expression, "Breeze, it's been a while. You're still as cunning as ever. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Breeze laughed out loud. He straightened his back and stretched, "Gongzi You, this is the only thing I like about you. You're straightforward." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
