“The last time we met, we got off on the wrong foot. This time, allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Chu Yujing. Hello.”
Chu Yujing felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she tried to break the ice.
Li Yi saw Chu Yujing extend her hand, so he went up to shake it.
“I’ve heard about you. Your Shield Axe is the best in the world.”
“You knew about me before?”
“Well… I have some understanding. I’ve heard that you’re very strong in Kesha City.”
“Is that so? I’m just average. I’m still a little inferior compared to you.”
“No, no, no. I only have a slight advantage now. In the future, you’ll be able to lead an army. I’d be nothing compared to you.”
“Oh… why would you have such high expectations of me? I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed in that. I’m just a nobody. I don’t achieve such high achievements.”
“Yes, you do.”
What a joke. In his previous life, Chu Yujing had brought Li Yi along to fight against the gods.
Her Shield Ax had evolved greatly in the later stages. It was a powerful weapon that could store energy. It was an existence that even gods dared not contend against.
Thinking about what had happened in his previous life, Li Yi felt a little sad in his heart.
His entire body instantly deflated.
Chu Yujing saw that Li Yi looked a little disappointed.
She was a little anxious. ‘What should I do? I didn’t say anything to make him unhappy, right?’
“Oh, did I say something wrong?”
“Huh? No, no. I just remembered some things in the past and lost my composure. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I thought I did something wrong…”
…
On the other side, Cool Summer and Heavenly Blade were eavesdropping. Cool Summer even had his own eavesdropping kit to listen in on the conversation.
“What are these two talking about? Why are they talking about irrelevant things?”
“You’re the one who is asking for too much. If you don’t like it, let me hear it.”
“Stop, don’t come too close. Don’t stick too close to me too. It’s getting hot.”
Heavenly Blade was a little angry. If he had known earlier, he would have brought another set of listening tools with him.
Cool Summer had come later and had a microphone to listen. Heavenly Blade had no choice but to stick close to it and listen.
At this moment, the other team members also came to Illusive Mystery’s room.
“Uh… What are you guys doing?”
On the other side, Li Yi’s eyes were fixed on Chu Yujing. It had been a long time since he had looked at Chu Yujing this seriously.
In his previous life, they had always been busy upgrading their levels.
Chu Yujing had always said that she wanted to build a station, but they did not have the money or manpower, so they could only continue to exist as a small squad.
In his previous life, Chu Yujing was the most powerful weapon the small squad had. In the later stages, Li Yi finally had his own divine weapon.
However, in the early stages, he was always the one who held her back.
However, Chu Yujing always stuck by his side, encouraging him and taking care of him.
At that time, he only had eyes for his level.
He wanted to become stronger and continue farming monsters to level up. He had never taken care of the feelings of the players around him. Finally, in the later stages, he became a god who shocked all the players in Divine Revelation.
However, just when he finally managed to get first place and wanted to express his inner thoughts to Chu Yujing, the gods descended.
Even now, he could not say it to Chu Yujing either.
The gods would descend eventually.
If he could not drive the gods away… Then he should not hold on to false hope.
He did not want to just spend ten short years with Chu Yujing. He wanted to spend a long time with her in the future. With this goal in mind, he wanted to work even harder now.
“Uh… Is there something strange on my face?”
“Huh? Oh… Uh… No.”
“Then why are you staring at me like that?”
“Oh, I was just thinking about something.”
“Oh… I see.”
Chu Yujing maintained a smile on her face, but the hand under the table kept squeezing her fingers.
‘Chu Yujing, he was thinking about something and just wasn’t looking at you. Why are you panicking? You’re about to become the guild leader and have a place in Kesha City. You shouldn’t be this rude to him.
‘By the way, where did those guys go? I don’t even know what to say right now.’
“Jing!”
“Huh? Me? What’s wrong?”
Li Yi suddenly stood up and looked at her seriously.
“Congratulations on becoming the guild leader. You’ll be very strong in the future, and I’ll work hard to become even stronger.”
“Oh… Thank you.”
“I’ll be so strong that no one can rival me. I’ll always be number one. I’ll stand in front of the city gates to resist all the enemies. I hope that one day, you’ll be able to stand in front of the city gates with me and look down on all the others. When that time comes…”
Before Li Yi could finish his sentence, Chu Yujing stood up and interrupted Li Yi.
“Carefree Dream, I really admire your dedication to your pursuit of power. However, I do not intend to join your Carefree Station. I have already promised Misty World certain things. I will not break my promise. Furthermore, I will rely on my own ability to become the strongest.”
Li Yi looked at Chu Yujing’s righteous expression.
It seemed like the other party had misunderstood his intentions. However, it did not matter. As long as she still had the heart to become stronger, it was enough for Li Yi.
After all, in Li Yi’s heart, Chu Yujing was supposed to be a true powerhouse.
Looking at Chu Yujing’s determined gaze, Li Yi was very happy. The Chu Yujing in front of him was the same as the Chu Yujing in his previous life.
This gaze was the same gaze he cherished in his previous life.
At this moment, there was a loud sound outside the door, and the door collapsed.
A large group of players fell into the room.
It was Illusive Mystery, Warhead Iron, Cool Summer, Heavenly Blade, and even Breezy Lake.
In the beginning, they only had a few players eavesdropping on the side. In the end, more and more players entered the room, and finally, Breezy Lake heard that they were eavesdropping and immediately ran over.
There were too many players, and there were not enough earphones to be passed around.
Therefore, Breezy Lake suggested for everyone to just eavesdrop outside the door.
In the end, who knew that this matter spread like wildfire, and more and more players came to eavesdrop outside the door.
In the end, the plan backfired. This door could not withstand so many players, so it collapsed.
Chu Yujing was speechless.
“What are you guys doing?”
Breezy Lake got up and tidied up his clothes as he played with the crystal ball in his hands.
“Oh, I wanted to call you for a meeting. Since I’ve already conveyed my intentions, I’ll wait for you in the conference room first.”
After that, Breezy Lake left.
“We’re also here to call you for the meeting leader. We’ll be leaving first.”
“Me too.”
“Me too.”
Players left one after another.
The players behind did not even bother to say anything and quickly followed them out.
In the end, only Li Yi, Chu Yujing, and the collapsed door were left.
Li Yi did not know what to say.
“Well… I’ll wait for you in the conference room too I guess?”
Before he left, he turned around and said to Chu Yujing, “Just do what you want. I’ll support you no matter what.”
When he reached the door, everyone who had left earlier was there.
…
“Gosh, why did my crystal ball drop? Let’s go to the conference room quickly. Let’s see what else is missing. Tell the players to prepare less sweets. We ate too many sweets the other day.”
After everyone left, Chu Yujing stayed in the room alone.
Recalling what Li Yi had said before, her face flushed red.
“I think he called me Jing.”
