“I remember… Mu Tian is one of the players from [Flying Dragon]. If he wants to buy a Guild Creation Tablet, then could it be he wants to split away from [Flying Dragon] and form his own guild? How odd…”
“No…” Yue Qing Qian laughed, “In fact, after Soaring Dragon forced [Valiant Bravery] to disband, [Flying Dragon]’s reputation skyrocketed. Soaring Dragon’s ambition is higher than the sky itself and [Flying Dragon] is already planning to create their first sub-guild. After all, the maximum number of people a guild can have is 10,000 people. [Flying Dragon] has been getting invite requests from tens of thousands of people so they can’t accommodate everyone with a single guild. They would need three or four sub-guilds at the very least.”
I nodded, “So that’s how it is…”
Yue Qing Qian gave a quiet laugh with her lips, “Brother Xiao Yao, give me an answer, are you going to take this deal or not? The transaction is a very big secret, aside from me and you, there aren’t many people that know about it. Luo Mu wants to hog the 300000 RMB to himself, hmph! If Uncle Yan Zhao found out, he would explode with anger…”
I clenched my hand into a fist, “This Guild Creation Tablet is ours, we’ll wait for him to finish the transaction before we strike. Let’s have [Flying Dragon] pay for our Guild Creation Tablet and this will be our payback for them disbanding [Valiant Bravery]!”
Yue Qing Qian laughed, “Hehee, Luo Mu and Mu Tian won’t be bringing too many people; at the most they’ll only bring 10 players they trust. Brother Xiao Yao, how many people are you planning to bring?”
Without hesitation, I said, “I’ll be going solo! If you were to go with me Qing Qian, wouldn’t Yan Zhao Warrior reprimand you?”
“I’m not afraid…” The corner of Yue Qing Qian’s mouth raises, smiling, “Once you establish Zhan Long, I’ll immediately quit [Prague]. There won’t be any type of relation between Uncle Yan Zhao and me anymore. Even if he tries to lash out at me, it’ll be alright if Brother Xiao Yao is there!”
I nodded, “Of course, you will be one of my people once you join and if he wants to start something, we’ll just have to see if he has the skills to back it up!”
“Okay then, when will we head on over to set up the strike?”
“We’ll head over now to set up an ambush. Yue Qing Qian, you’ll have to keep on using [Stealth]!”
“Okay, invite me to your party!”
“Yea!”
……
Immediately getting up to repair my equipment, I brought out some Pardon Cards and health potions and headed out out the city alone.
I entered the verdant Ba Huang Forest alone and leapt into the bushes while my [Camouflage] skill activated automatically. A mysterious glow enveloped my body and concealed me inside the bushes. This skill really gave the player invisibility. Tsk, this [Camouflage] skill is so wretched, though I can’t help but be fond of it…As long as I am within a bush, I gained Assassin-like stealth. If I were to be found, all I needed to do was to take a few steps back and I would become invisible once more.
Throughout the journey, I didn’t call out my pet even once. Instead, I kept traveling between bushes. My Purple Dawn Boots and Leg Guards of the Beast were being scratched by all of the thorns but for the Guild Creation Tablet, I’d bear these minor hardships!
11:32 at the pre-determined coordinates.
“Shua!”
By my side, a beautiful figure flickered into view; it was Yue Qing Qian. The little girl was wearing completely scarlet leather armor and her ample body was even more appealing than before. To look like this at the age of 17, when she grows up she’ll have to deal with so much attention…
“Brother Xiao Yao?” She c**ked her head sideways while looking at me, her body was still somewhat hidden but because I was her party leader, I could see her perfectly well.
“Yes.”
I pointed a finger in front of us, “They’ll probably be making the transaction right over there and I’m sure it’ll be over in a flash. Qing Qian, let’s move back a bit, around 50 meters. Stay hidden so that right after the transaction is completed, and Mu Tian decides to use a return scroll, we’ll have a brief opportunity to interrupt his return and take the Guild Creation Tablet!”
“Got it.” Yue Qing Qian brought up her hands from her waist, revealing a dark green dagger that glistened. “I’ll attack with Brother Xiao Yao and stun those who would try and attack you…”
“Okay!”
……
Moving 50 yards away from the coordinates and into some nearby bushes, I crouched down in silence while fidgeting with my sword hilt. My other hand carefully touched the ground while I started to breathe somewhat irregularly. In 20 minutes, people will start to arrive with 300000 RMB for the Guild Creation Tablet. This was far too important for Zhan Long and had a very significant meaning. If we could take the Guild Creation Tablet from [Flying Dragon] and use it to create Zhan Long, wouldn’t that be the ultimate form of revenge?
The news Yue Qing Qian had given me was really important, if I didn’t have her help, I wouldn’t have known about this huge transaction taking place in the dead of the night! If this was also happening inside the city walls, so there wouldn’t have been a chance to stop it even if I did know about it.
“Brother Xiao Yao…”
Yue Qing Qian looked at me with her huge gleaming eyes with astonishment, “Brother Xiao Yao, why is it that your current status invisibility? When did Swordsmen become able to hide themselves, we Assassins will be out of a job if that happens…”
I gave a slight chuckle and waved my hand to share the effects of [Camouflage] with her. Immediately, the beautiful Qing Qian laughed, “[Camouflage], so it’s something like this…this must be the reward you got for being the MVP in the Guild Prestige Battle…”
“Yea, this skill is quite good, it means that in the future, I can assassinate someone easily in the jungle.”
“Yes yes, good luck!” Yue Qing Qian grabbed my left hand, her pretty face showing a trace of indignation. “I saw the Guild Prestige Battle between [Valiant Bravery] and [Flying Dragon] from start to finish. Brother Xiao Yao, don’t you know? Everyone supports you and thinks you’re the strongest player around. If it weren’t for [Flying Dragon] hiring all those CBN rankers from Jiu Li City then [Valiant Bravery] would had been the winner…”
Looking away from her, I laughed to myself, “I’m a king if I win but a bandit if I lose. If I lose, then it’s my loss, fortunately, this is only a game, we still have an opportunity to reverse the tables back into our favor. It’s time for [Flying Dragon] to face the bitter consequences.”
TL: I’m a king if I win or bandit if lose is an idiom meaning that his reputation will be dictated based on whether he wins or loses.
“Yeah!” Yue Qing Qian nodded excitedly. “Starting from today, I will be with Brother Xiao Yao!”
“Haha, sure…”
