Ye Ci had always felt that this man was a scar in her heart.
Even after her reincarnation, she lived cautiously. She chose to ignore all news about the Tang dynasty. She pretended that she was illiterate when it came to news about Wandering Cloud. She just did not want to face him.
But the Goddess of Fate was truly capricious and powerful.
Such an accident happened when she was at her calmest.
His appearance was so unexpected that it caught everyone off guard.
To be honest, Ye Ci knew that she could not hide from him forever. The Tang dynasty was the second strongest guild in the Eastern Continent, and the fifth strongest guild in Country Z. Regardless of the reason, she was bound to meet him in the future. But she did not expect it to happen so quickly and so suddenly.
Ye Ci once thought about how she would react if she met Wandering Cloud again, even if he did not know about her past life.
Was it hatred? Or anger? Or … or was it cowardly anticipation?
She had thought about it many times, but she could not find an answer.
But it was strange.
Now that she was facing this man, she only felt that he was a stranger. Other than that, she did not feel anything else.
Wandering Cloud knelt on the ground and raised his head to look at the Huntress. Her skin was slightly pale. Although her eyes were not beautiful, there was a sharpness that made it hard for people to look at her directly. Right now, she was quietly staring at him with her amber eyes. Those glass-like amber eyes didn't have a single trace of human emotion. They were so clean and cold that it made him feel a little hopeless.
Wandering Cloud gulped, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. Then he opened his mouth, "You really are Gongzi You …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Gongzi You bent down and pinched his cheek with her right hand. His face was only inches away from hers. He could even feel the Huntress' warm breath on his face. It was as if thousands of ants had drilled into his skin and were biting at his nerve endings. It made him tremble with fear.
Ye Ci looked at the face in front of her. He was so young and handsome. Between his brows, there was still the spirit that had once moved her heart, but she didn't care at all.
Just now, the system had asked her if she wanted to reveal her name. Ye Ci thought for a while and chose to do so. It wasn't for the limelight, but … she suddenly realized that her previous life had really passed.
No matter what she did wrong in her previous life, no matter what she did wrong, no matter what kind of infatuation she had with this man in her previous life, it was all in the past!
She was Ye Ci, and she was Gongzi You. She was starting a new life. There was no need for her to torture herself for the sake of her previous life that she would never return to.
At this moment, she suddenly felt more relaxed than ever.
She was just herself. She didn't want to live for others. She only wanted to live her own wonderful life and live her own happiness!
That was enough!
She suddenly smiled.
It was a smile that had never been seen before. It was as if the spring sun in March had lit up the entire world. Even the snow in the hot springs in winter had melted because of it.
Wandering Cloud stared at the face that was so close to him. He stared at the face that was unforgettable. He had always thought that coldness was her only expression. He did not expect her to smile. Then, he heard a cold voice spit out from her watery, petal-like lips.
"It's mine. No one can take it away from me."
Her voice was soft and careless. She still had a bright smile on her face, but her eyes were cold and distant.
"It's mine, Gongzi You. Not even the Tang dynasty can take it away from me." The smile on her face suddenly disappeared. Her entire being was as cold as the sharp blade in her hand.
She let go of Wandering Cloud's cheek and stood up. Her gaze never left his face. In the blink of an eye, she drew her bow. Pu pu pu! Glistening Snow, who was about to revive, fell to the ground with a cry.
"If you don't want to drop anything, tell your people to revive later. Or else …" Ye Ci's lips curled into a smile.
That is, if it could be called a smile.
Wandering Cloud's eyes were about to burst into flames.
As the vice guild leader of the Tang dynasty, he felt humiliated like never before. He did not deny that he had asked Lazy Blue to keep an eye on Gongzi You. He had long guessed that the Huntress had something to do with his First Blood.
Ever since he confirmed that Gongzi You was on the same continent as him, he was afraid that the Huntress would steal his monster and the shield that he coveted for a long time. Before the game was launched, he had spent 200,000 real money to buy information on all the overpowered equipment of his class from a GM in Fate.
He already knew that the Armored Giant Tortoise was going to drop the Swordback Hold, the best shield for Warriors before they reached lvl80. Since everyone's level was low, he was not worried that someone would come to Winter Hot Springs to fight the Armored Giant Tortoise. He only asked his trustworthy guild members to keep an eye on Winter Hot Springs.
He had just logged off from the game after staying up all night. Before he could close his eyes, he received a call from Lazy Blue, saying that Gongzi You had entered Winter Hot Springs to gather herbs. Wandering Cloud was nervous, but he did not pay much attention to it. After all, the Armored Giant Tortoise was a lvl 40 monster. Even Gongzi You would not be able to do much against it.
But after five or six hours of sleep, he received another call from Lazy Blue, saying that Gongzi You had already started fighting the Armored Giant Tortoise and had lost half of its health. Wandering Cloud panicked. He immediately sent someone to help Lazy Blue and prevent Gongzi You from getting the First Blood. He immediately got out of bed and rushed over from the other side of the Eastern Continent.
What happened next was known to everyone.
The whole thing was Wandering Cloud's idea. He did not tell his guild leader NightAndDay about the kill-stealing incident. NightAndDay was an upright person. If he knew that Wandering Cloud had stolen someone else's First Blood and monster, he would definitely be furious. Wandering Cloud was still very wary of NightAndDay.
He wanted to call someone to deal with Gongzi You, but … he could not.
NightAndDay would never allow him to use the guild's resources for this matter. Wandering Cloud was a smart person. He knew that even if he told NightAndDay that Gongzi You had stolen his monster, NightAndDay would be suspicious. This was because he had made a promise with White Night Black Day. Once the majority of the guild members had reached Level 40, they would all become his shields. However, now that something like this had happened, White Night Black Day would definitely be suspicious. In the end, he might even be put on the spot in the guild.
Although a shield was rare, it was not worth it to lose everything he had in the guild for a shield.
However, he could not bring himself to admit defeat to Gongzi You. Wandering Cloud bit down on his lips as he glared at Ye Ci. He watched as Ye Ci's lips curled into a sneer as she easily shot down his comrades who were trying to get up.
Although none of them said anything, they could not bear to see their brothers and friends suffer because of them. In the end, he could not withstand the pressure and shouted, "Don't revive!"
A few of them laid on the ground, surprised by Wandering Cloud's decision. Wandering Cloud had never been one to hold back, but today …
"I said, don't revive!" Although Wandering Cloud had used Ye Ci in the past life, he still cared about his brothers. He shouted, and everyone stopped talking. He then turned to Ye Ci and said, "Gongzi You, I will remember you."
Ye Ci chuckled. She sheathed her bow and sat on the tortoiseshell, "I'll never forget those who steal from me."
Wandering Cloud bit his lips and stopped talking. He watched as Ye Ci quickly dissected the corpse.
Ye Ci used her fastest speed to pick up the loot and dissect the corpse. She did not even have the time to check what loot she had picked up. She knew that Wandering Cloud was the Vice Guild Leader of the Tang Dynasty. Today's battle was definitely a grudge between them. She might have been quick with her words, but if Wandering Cloud had gathered a group of players from the Tang Dynasty to gang up on her, she would not have been able to escape.
She did not have crowd control at the current stage of the game. She did not have the ability to attack with everyone. Under such circumstances, she could handle a few people with ease. However, if there were more people, she would definitely be at a disadvantage. Therefore, the best thing to do was to quickly clean up and run away.
Ever since Ye Ci had let go of the knot in her heart, she was not in the mood to continue wasting time here.
Her past life was nothing, but in this life, she had just started a grudge. With her current strength, she did not have the ability to go up against a large guild. Therefore, she would be an idiot if she did not run.
After cleaning up, Ye Ci turned to look at Wandering Cloud's angry face. She suddenly narrowed her eyes as if she had remembered something. Her lips curled into a hateful smile. With a few steps, he walked up to Wandering Cloud and bent down.
Wandering Cloud saw the female fiend coming back and gritted his teeth, "What do you want?"
Ye Ci moved closer to Wandering Cloud's ear and whispered into his ear, "Garden Apartments, Room 612. Don't always stay in the same place. It's more refreshing to go somewhere else. "
With that, she stood up and patted Wandering Cloud's shoulder. She summoned her little red horse and smiled at him, "Until we meet again, great guild leader!" She then galloped away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Ye Ci disappeared, the people on the ground crawled up. MuQing immediately said, "Cloud, hurry up and gather the guild members. We're going to kill this bitch!"
"No need." Wandering Cloud lowered his head, his face pale. His forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and his limbs were trembling uncontrollably.
"Why?!" Wandering Cloud had always been a vengeful person. His reaction today was just too strange, and everyone was surprised.
"I said no need, so it's no need!" Wandering Cloud roared. Only then did everyone realize that his face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. Everyone was shocked. Wandering Cloud also realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly said, "I've been crippled. Hurry up and get me back to the city, or I won't be able to move."
The four of them knew that Wandering Cloud was hiding something. It must have been something that Gongzi You had whispered into his ear. However, none of them dared to ask. They could only carry him on their backs and prepare to return to the city.
