“To say it like that, that’s very rude.” Xi Xiaotian said this, but showed no sign of being angry at Gu Fei’s rudeness, as if he had expected it.

Before Gu Fei could speak, the cheerleaders had already jumped out. Zhan Wushang and Yu Tian Shenming stood by the beautiful woman without hesitation, saying angrily, “Qian Li, you’re too rude!”

And based on the habitual thinking that women should always help women, Lu Ke immediately pointed out, “How can you say that?”

Gu Fei was feeling helpless when Han Jia Gongzi surprisingly stood on his side at this time, nodding and saying, “Considering we aren't familiar with you either, that possibility exists.”

Xi Xiaotian smiled and said, “Let Xiao Ke communicate with Shui Shen, and many things will become clear. Or do you think that I, Shui Shen, and Duan Shui Jian are all in cahoots?”

“Could it be that Shui Shen has some ulterior motive?” Gu Fei pondered.

“Hey, give me a break! Stop with your dark deduction game!” Lu Lu glared at Gu Fei fiercely.

“Alright!” Gu Fei compromised, then turned to Jian Gui after a while and asked, “Are we still doing the quest or not?”

“I’m going to fight you!!!” Lu Ke jumped over.

“You guys have fun, I’m going to work.” Gu Fei fled out the door.

The matter could be said to have come to an end. As Xi Xiaotian said, the aftermath would be handled by Lu Ke and Shui Shen. Even if Han Jia Gongzi and the others wanted to gossip, they couldn’t very well do it at this time. For them, it was time to end their day of gaming, so they all dispersed. Jian Gui stayed behind, indicating that he also wanted to communicate after Lu Ke and Shui Shen had. His relationship with Shui Shen was undoubtedly not comparable to Lu Ke's, and his current situation could be said to be extremely awkward. But Jian Gui had the courage to face this awkwardness directly, which was perhaps what made him different.

Gu Fei ran relatively fast, appearing nonchalant on the surface, but he was actually quite unhappy inside. He had initiated the matter, and after working hard for most of the day, he found that he had been making a fool of himself, leaving others in an embarrassing situation. He felt very sorry. Fleeing out the door was also because he was too embarrassed to face everyone there.

“What are you doing following me?” At an intersection, Gu Fei suddenly stopped and turned around.

“Who’s following you? Just passing by,” Xi Xiaotian said.

“You’re ruthless…” Gu Fei gritted his teeth.

“Feeling very unwilling, aren’t you!” Xi Xiaotian said.

“Did you specifically chase after me to see me make a fool of myself?” Gu Fei asked.

“I told you, I’m just passing by…” Xi Xiaotian insisted.

Gu Fei had no choice but to step back two steps and said, extending his hand, “Then please, hurry up and pass by.”

“Are you just giving up like that?” Xi Xiaotian suddenly asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Although your previous deductions may have been a misunderstanding, Duan Shui Jian is still a bit strange. Don’t you want to understand what’s behind him?” Xi Xiaotian asked.

“This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me, does it?” Gu Fei said.

“Then how are you going to clean up this mess? It seems like you started all this trouble, aren’t you going to apologize to people?” Xi Xiaotian asked.

“This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?” Gu Fei said.

“Just asking casually,” Xi Xiaotian said.

“Someone just passing by shouldn’t have so many questions,” Gu Fei said.

“I’m a liar, so when I say I’m passing by, I’m lying to you,” Xi Xiaotian said.

“Okay, I’m passing by, refusing to accept any interviews…” Gu Fei walked away.

At this time, Lu Ke had quickly contacted Shui Shen, and the two quickly met in the offline area. Having not slept all night, the fatigue was still undeniable. Shui Shen’s tired eyes carried a hint of doubt. He hadn’t been separated from Lu Ke for long, but he could see that Lu Ke’s expression and attitude had already made a 180-degree turn, her gaze was so gentle that Shui Shen quickly realized what had happened.

*Can’t compromise so easily.* Shui Shen thought, cleared his throat, and said, “Know you were wrong?”

Lu Ke nodded, “Was wrong.”

“What were you wrong about?” Shui Shen displayed the majesty and airs of the head of the household.

“I shouldn’t have stayed up all night again, it’s bad for my skin, very bad,” Lu Ke said.

“Huh?” Shui Shen suspected he had a problem with his ears.

“I’ll change immediately, I’m going offline right now!” Lu Ke’s eyes showed determination, and she turned around and entered the offline area to log off.

Shui Shen petrified, and after a long while, he came back to his senses.

“So cunning…” Shui Shen thought, then his gaze shifted and he saw another figure, Jian Gui.

“What are you guys planning, one after another!” Shui Shen shouted.

“Apologizing to you.” Jian Gui’s attitude and tone were undoubtedly sincere. He couldn’t do the kind of cunning thing that Lu Ke did.

Receiving two completely different styles in a short period of time, Shui Shen was flustered and didn’t know how to respond, blurting out, “It’s nothing.”

Jian Gui breathed a sigh of relief. Apologizing was heaviest in the period of expressing attitude and waiting for the other party to respond. It was rare for Shui Shen to react so quickly that Jian Gui didn’t even have time to experience the heaviness.

“So, you few great detectives have determined that Lao Duan is not a problem?” Shui Shen, who talked more, said instead.

Jian Gui scratched his head, “It was a misunderstanding.”

“So, there was nothing to begin with! Making so much mess.” Shui Shen’s words still carried some dissatisfaction.

“Is there anything I can do?” Jian Gui asked. Jian Gui ultimately couldn't bring himself to grovel and beg for forgiveness, so he hoped to be able to help the other party with something to offset the trouble he had previously caused.

“Of course there is,” Shui Shen said.

“What?” Jian Gui asked.

“Didn’t you receive some quest targeting Lao Duan? Give it up!” Shui Shen said.

“Of course.” Jian Gui immediately opened the quest and wanted to choose to give up, but the system prompted that he had to go back to the relevant NPC to deal with it.

“Can’t give up directly,” Jian Gui said, “But I’ll take care of it. Is there anything else?” Abandoning the quest was nothing to Jian Gui as an offset, and he would have done it even if Shui Shen didn’t ask. He hoped Shui Shen would mention something more difficult.

“That’s enough,” Shui Shen smiled.

“If I have the opportunity, I’ll also apologize to Lao Duan,” Jian Gui said. Although it felt a bit nagging, Jian Gui would not feel comfortable if he didn’t do so.

“There will be opportunities,” Shui Shen nodded. He didn’t say anything like “Forget it, forget it, no need,” because he understood Jian Gui after all. Jian Gui wouldn’t feel satisfied if he didn’t apologize…

“It’s okay, rest early!” Shui Shen patted Jian Gui.

“See you,” Jian Gui smiled, and stepped into the rest area to log off.

Shui Shen continued to stay at the door, straightening his clothes, puffing out his chest, standing up straight, chilling all the smiles on his face, making his eyes very indifferent, looking around, and calculating in his heart: “The third one should be coming, right?”

This wait lasted for five minutes, and Shui Shen was still calculating in his heart! This guy had no friendship with him, and several of his guild brothers had lost levels in this incident. Plus, the last time they were against each other in the quest, completely ruining his plan, he couldn't find a reason to deal with him perfunctorily. If he didn’t mess with him properly, he wouldn’t be able to account for his guild brothers.

Just as Shui Shen was lost in thought, he suddenly heard someone speaking in his ear: “Yo, isn’t this Guild Leader Shui Shen? Standing so straight at the entrance of the offline area, are you a road sign?”

For Shui Shen, there was no voice in the world that he found more annoying than this one. He turned his head and saw that it was Han Jia Gongzi. He spat three times, “Bad luck, so unlucky so early in the morning.” After saying that, he completely ignored Han Jia Gongzi and continued to look around, he could put a sign next to him with three words: *Waiting for someone.*

How could Han Jia Gongzi not notice, he smiled and said: "I was wondering, standing like a road sign, afraid that the people who want to apologize to you can't see you?"

“None of your business?”

“The problem is, Lu Ke, Jian Gui, they seem to be offline already!” Han Jia Gongzi said.

“Who told you I was waiting for them.” Shui Shen sneered.

Han Jia Gongzi pretended to realize, “Could it be that you are waiting for Qian Li Yi Zui?”

Shui Shen was silent.

“Looking to get killed, aren’t you?” Han Jia Gongzi said.

Shui Shen continued to ignore him.

“Qian Li has a lot of PK points on him, he has to wash them clean before he can come over, you wait slowly!” Han Jia Gongzi kindly reminded him, leaving behind an admiring-the-tragedy expression, and waved goodbye.

“Damn it, meddlesome… Do I need you to remind me!” Shui Shen disdainfully watched Han Jia Gongzi disappear, and continued to wait patiently.

The sun rose high, but there was still no sign of anyone. Shui Shen was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep against the wall. He kept muttering in his heart, *Isn't this guy very powerful? Washing off PK points shouldn't take long, why is it taking so long? Could it be that he's not familiar with the terrain here and got lost? That's right, this guy seems to have a terrible sense of direction.* Because he wasn't familiar with the other members of the elite team, Shui Shen vaguely remembered that there was someone with a terrible sense of direction, and he subconsciously put it on Gu Fei.

*Message him… Don't know if he has friend requests enabled.* Although it was very embarrassing for someone accepting an apology to actively contact the apologizer, *But, people are lost, how pitiful.* Shui Shen thought kindly.

As a result, he received a cold system response: “The user you are looking for is not online!”

“Damn it!!!” Shui Shen was furious, strode into the offline area, and logged off fiercely. He was supposed to be in a moment of arrogant triumph, but why did tragic things always happen to him? Shui Shen really couldn't understand.

When he logged in in the afternoon, Shui Shen immediately complained to Lu Ke about how outrageous Gu Fei was.

“Apologize?” Lu Ke was very confused, “I didn’t hear him say he was coming too, only Jian Gui and I came together. Did he find you privately? Didn’t realize, was this the kind of person he was?”

“#￥％……” Shui Shen was speechless. Of course, he was too embarrassed to say that after successively accepting apologies from Lu Ke and Jian Gui, he naturally thought that Gu Fei would come too, so he waited for several hours.

“Damn it, it was that guy!!!” Shui Shen gritted his teeth. He wouldn’t have been stupid enough to wait so long, but Han Jia Gongzi, before leaving, said something about how Qian Li had to wash off his PK points first, letting him wait slowly… Shui Shen, a kind, innocent, and gullible classmate, had been tricked again.
