Chapter 167

“I am XuanYuan Demon,” A cold and tall man introduced simply.

After XunMi greeted all of them, they sat down and began chatting. But it was mainly StartlingLeaves and QuietlyHumming that were chatting endlessly. The others mainly listened in silence.

“Sister in law, we’re are planning on going to JueXian Pavilion. Do you want to come with us?”

XunMi, who had been comfortably leaning back in her seat, spit out her tea in surprise, causing her to cough. Si YuFan pitifully helped XunMi regain her breath by patting her back. He didn’t forget to glare at the culprit. If this fellow didn’t suddenly open his mouth, XunMi wouldn’t have suffered like this.

“Sis in law, I’m sorry. Big Boss, I’m wrong. I really didn’t mean to.” StartlingLeaves only wanted to dig a hole and hide in it so that Si YuFan couldn’t see him. This glare was too penetrating. His weak heart couldn’t suffer through more.

“No, it’s my own problem.” XunMi finally felt a bit better.  Anyone in her position would have reacted with surprise just now. How was one supposed to react when you are happily chatting with your friends when one of them suddenly decides that they want to go crash your house and fight you to the death?

Ai, it looked like her identity really was troublesome.

“Why are you guys so set on going to JueXian Pavilion? Everyone I’ve met recently are all rushing to go there.” XunMi was still a bit confused on this part. Right now, the game hadn’t even announced the mission attached to the JueXian Pavilion storybook. Moreover, her JueXian Pavilion was a higher level than all the others in the game. Without a high level and strength, no one could even pass JueXian Pavilion. Even worse, they could get killed (downgrade in level) in the process. All these factors showed that JueXian Pavilion wasn’t a place that anyone could just walk in. But there was always people with greed that surpass common sense.

“Of course because it sounds exciting and challenging! Sister-in-law, you don’t know. But my whole clan keeps clamoring about going to fight at JueXian Pavilion. They had just gone a few days ago. But they hadn’t even found the path in before they running back with their tails between their legs. And then another group went yesterday. But they also came back sorrowfully. But that only increased everyone’s interest. So we also want to go over tomorrow to check it out.” StartlingLeaves quickly summarized his clan’s activities for the past few days without the least bit of hesitation. Rather, he seemed eager to tell all.

XunMi stayed silent. Was she allowed to just fall on the floor and play dead? She was wondering why she kept feeling like a bunch of people roaming outside her pavilion. Why did everyone’s desire to conquer become so much stronger the more challenging something was?

“Alright, you guys go. I’m not going though. Tomorrow I’m busy. Maybe next time.” XunMi said helplessly. She didn’t have the energy to argue with them. Instead, she should just quickly find a way to return to the real world.

“I couldn’t even beat it and you guys want to go fight in JueXian Pavilion?” Si YuFan wasn’t happy. His XunMi was JueXian Pavilion’s Flower Spirit Queen. If they wanted to fight JueXian Pavilion, then it would be the same as fighting XunMi. How could he let that happen? If anyone dared go, he’ll kill them first.

StartlingLeaves looked at Si YuFan as he emitted cold energy, completely confused. However, ThousandWaitingFlames seemed to understand Si YuFan’s message. “So YuFan has gone to JueXian Pavilion already? Then we won’t go to cause trouble. But YuFan, don’t forget about the get together we are having at the end of the month.”

The end of the month was the scheduled yearly gathering between the heirs of the high society inner circle. Anyone with a bit of status was hoping to attend. Meanwhile, Si YuFan had been using any excuse possible to avoid it.

“En, I’ll go this time.” Si YuFan had something that he needed to confirm.

The others were all a bit shocked. YuFan finally changed his mind?

XunMi had a guess. It seemed like they were talking about a rather important get together in the real world. Then would the mission’s target appear? If she could get out of the game before this gathering, she would be able to attend and investigate. There was still two weeks before the end of the month. That should be just enough time.

While their group happily chatted, another group was beginning to feel a little tense.

“Master, I don’t understand. Why does senior sister get everything? I also helped out. I also sacrificed for our team. I’ve never asked you for anything either. But you guys are way too biased! It’s not fair.” Zi Qin finally erupted. When ScatteredDust could only see YaoYao Xiao Qi, she couldn’t endure it anymore. The hatred and anger in her face was so transparent.

ScatteredDust and the others were all surprised, as if they never expected Zi Qin to suddenly explode.  YaoYao XiaoQi widened her eyes. She looked at Zi Qin, hurt. She really didn’t know that this was how her junior sister thought. Did she do something wrong again this time too? But she only wanted the Key of Light thing so that she could increase her treatment skills. That way, she would be able to better help the team in the future.

“Zi Qin, you are a mage. The Key of Light is useless to you.” ScatteredDust awkwardly replied after a few seconds. Looking back, it did seem as if he had not been as attentive to this disciple.

Wu Sheng wasn’t as thoughtful. He didn’t like Zi Qin. He preferred the warm and kindhearted Xiao Qi. “That’s right. What would you even do with the Key of Light? You don’t know how to heal. Why are you being so petty. Xiao Qi restores our blood for cultivation everyday. She’s done so much so she deserves the Key of Light.”

The Lonely Scholar only rubbed his chin, not saying a word. Tall, Rich, and Handsome did want to speak up. But he decided it was better to just stay silent. He didn’t know what to say.

Zi Qin’s heart turned cold. She had only come into the group two months later than YaoYao Xiao Qi. But there was such a large difference in treatment. “Well then there really isn’t anything else to say.” She turned and left. Tears escaped from her eyes. She was a young miss of a big family and yet she couldn’t even compare to this person from nothing.

When did it start? When did her eyes become blinded as she lost sight of her own heart? Why did she get so caught up comparing herself to this person that obviously couldn’t match up for her but yet always came out superior? In the end, she still lost so embarrassingly. How ridiculous.

Those men really didn’t understand. She didn’t care about the equipments or the weapons.

“Junior sister.” YaoYao Xiao Qi ran after her but was stopped by Wu Sheng.

“Xiao Qi, why would you go after her? If she wants to leave, then let her go.”

“But-” YaoYao Xiao Qi was also in a tough spot.

“There’s no ‘but’. What does she think this is? She throws a tantrum out of nowhere? We aren’t toys that have to comfort her Young Miss temper.”
