Chapter 32

You Xi helped ask again: “Half a year ago, a team of players came here. There was a very attractive and handsome young man with a black jacket who died in this instance. Think about it. Do you have any impression of him?”

“Boss, players often come to play here, but half a year ago… I’m sorry. We don’t have any concept of time. Everyone’s been underground and can’t see the sun, and we’re also all dead. Why would we want to remember the days?”

“Then how do you become holy envoys?” You Xi asked another question. “Is it because of your skill?”

The holy envoy said proudly: “This is natural. I can shoot willow leaves at one hundred steps.1 I am the saint’s capable servant.”

Shoot willow leaves at one hundred steps?

Guo Juexing immediately recalled Fu Qing’s extraordinary archery skills, and his brain suddenly lit up. Maybe this holy envoy was Fu Yuan when he was alive? The Fu brothers were originally famous for their archery skills. Guo Juexing felt there was something afoot, so he asked quickly: “What’s your name?”

“Liang Yi.” The holy envoy said. “I’m one of the few people who has a photo of my life. It’s a pity that I died at such a young age, I was so handsome.”

The holy envoy took a photo out from his hat: “Look, this is proof that I was alive.”

Guo Juexing was curious and moved forward, but at that moment, something suddenly happened!

Guo Juexing looked at the photo, but it wasn’t the same as Fu Yuan’s appearance that he remembered. The cunning envoy took advantage of Guo Juexing’s approach and quickly attacked him, strangling his neck. Guo Juexing was still like a skeleton, so he was small and at a disadvantage. This holy envoy was so powerful that Guo Juexing didn’t notice anything for so long, but was successfully schemed against!

The scene immediately froze.

“Return the saint to me.” Holy Envoy Liang Yi said. “Or I’ll break your partner’s neck.”

You Xi: “……What’s this about a partner. He’s just a rebellious skeleton.”

“What skeleton have you seen that can still be a player?” As You Xi spoke, he saw the saint shake his head frantically in front of them, and resisted the urge to shoot him, saying calmly: “Your saint is shaking her head and signaling for you to let go of that useless skeleton. Will you still not be obedient?”

The holy envoy didn’t trust them, but released Guo Juexing. After that, the envoy was tied up into a zongzi and hauled away.

After half an hour, they finally had walked to the exit of the tomb without danger.

You Xi finally released a deep breath. Disregarding how arrogant it was, he gave the holy envoy a hug: “Thank you for leading the way.”

But in the face of the saint’s beautiful and scheming eyes, You Xi was still cold. Seeing that the saint was anxious to say something and was getting angry, he deigned to unseal the saint’s mouth.

As soon as he was able to speak again, the saint quickly pleaded: “Give me back the orb in my statue!”

“I won’t.” You Xi said threateningly with his arms folded. “Not only will I not give it to you, but I’ll also take away your wig and humiliate you. You asked for all this, yet you dare to scheme against me!”

The saint said in humiliation: “You’ll regret it later.”

“Who can tell anything about the future? Either way, I’m very happy now.” You Xi frantically tugged the wig off of the saint under the shocked gaze of the holy envoy.

Holy Envoy: “!!!” What are you doing to our saint!

The saint spoke bitterly: “Be a man and stay on the front line. We’ll meet again in the future. I advise you not to be too extreme.”

You Xi didn’t care about him: “Tell me the truth. Who are you? Don’t trick me with your identity as the saint, or your skirt will be taken off in front of your followers!”

“You scum!” The holy envoy shouted from the side. “A dignified S-Level player actually using such methods, disgusting! Lord Saint, don’t speak to this kind of villain anymore. He’s unworthy!”

“……” Guo Juexing was speechless. “This is what the holy envoy is like? Isn’t it too much to watch this excitement? He actually encouraged the saint to stop talking. It’s not him who would feel annoyed when we get the skirt off! That’s right, he thought he would be able to feast his eyes upon it. That’s truly villainous.”

The holy envoy was analyzed maliciously and was angered into silence.

The saint was probably afraid of losing his disguise completely. With just the wig gone, he could trick the skeletons by saying he felt like trying out a short haircut. But when the skirt was taken away and his male identity undoubtedly exposes, there would be hard evidence with no way to explain it.

“My name is Bai Yuan.” The saint firmly conceded. “Maybe you haven’t heard of me before. After you leave the instance and search through the game, you’ll definitely learn my past.”

“……Bai Yuan? A familiar name.” Guo Juexing murmured. “This, this isn’t–?!”

“Don’t say it!” The saint warned him. “Do you really think I can’t help you? I just don’t want to incite too much change right now. I lose this time. You all leave.”

Guo Juexing pulled at You Xi and signaled for him to not provoke the saint again.

Even though You Xi wasn’t done bullying him, he still stayed his hand and stopped pestering the saint. He handed the wig to Guo Juexing, and the two exited the tomb without looking back.

The sky outside was clear. You Xi took a deep breath of fresh air, and the voice of the long-lost system administrator rang through You Xi’s ears:

“Ding—Congratulations to the players for beating the game!

The Jade Gate Divine Tomb is like its own world.

It is detected that the player has obtained special game items: Demon Orb, Wig of the Charmer

The system pre-offers 10 million game coins in exchange for the Demon Orb and 800,000 game coins in exchange for the Wig of the Charmer. Does the player agree?

You can leave the Jade Gate Divine Tomb immediately if you agree. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait for the death or successful clearance of the teammate who is still inside of the barrier before leaving the game.”

When the time limit expired, Guo Juexing’s skeletal state was removed and he returned to his original appearance. He frantically made eyes at him from the side, motioning for You Xi to reject the system’s exchange offer.

“The moon looks pretty nice tonight. I just want to chat with my bro Guo about life.” You Xi said. “I won’t sell the orb. Let’s start a camp for tonight.”

Guo Juexing also said: “I also want to chat with Dage. I won’t sell the wig.”

The system administrator was somewhat unwilling: “The orb is useless to just keep in your hands. Isn’t it better to exchange for money?”

“Do you think I’ll be short of money?” You Xi said domineeringly. “Don’t talk to me about money, that’s so tacky.”

The system administrator had no choice but to be quiet, and only silently took a note in his heart. Sooner or later, he would grasp the orb back from You Xi’s hand. That item had excellent performance enhancement! Based on You Xi’s earnings, the sum was equivalent to his salary for half a year of work.

While sitting in the desert to rest, You Xi chatted with Guo Juexing about Bai Yuan.

”

”

“Is Bai Yuan famous? Why are you so afraid of him?” You Xi asked.

“The name Bai Yuan hasn’t appeared in the mouths of players for several years.” Guo Juexing recalled and spoke solemnly. “If the saint didn’t lie to us, he should be the S-Level player 002 who has been gone from the players’ sight for a long time!”
