Chapter 145 Disagreement

Lu Ke and Xi Xiaotian certainly didn't keep talking on the street. After Gu Fei left, the two randomly found a tavern and sat down in a corner.

Although she had blocked Shui Shen, the guild channel was always open. Lu Ke paid attention to it from time to time, knowing that if Broken Arrow was assassinated or something similar, the guild channel would definitely be lively.

But fate would have it otherwise; the more you don't want something to happen, the more it does. Lu Ke waited anxiously, and finally the guild channel burst into an uproar. She went in to take a look, and Broken Arrow had been killed, but the guild leader's order was not to get entangled with those two people...

Who were those two people? Need she even ask? Lu Ke didn't know what had happened, but thinking that Gu Fei said he was going to find someone, but ended up being an accomplice, a fire rose in her heart. Seeing Broken Arrow acting all righteous in the guild channel, saying things like, "Brothers, don't worry about it!" and "The main thing is the city war, don't be impulsive because of personal grudges," Lu Ke was so angry she couldn't speak, only grunted.

Reading expressions was undoubtedly Xi Xiaotian's forte. She quickly noticed that Lu Ke's expression was wrong, immediately thought something had happened, and cautiously asked. Lu Ke slammed the table and replied, "Those two guys!!!"

"What's wrong?"

"They killed that Broken Arrow after all," Lu Ke said.

"As long as we can get his information, these things aren't important," Xi Xiaotian smiled.

"Uh, that's true," Lu Ke nodded. But even so, the reckless behavior of those two guys still needed serious criticism. Just looking at the orders in the guild channel, you could tell that these two weren't doing an assassination, but a direct, head-on confrontation. Fortunately, the guild prioritized the overall situation and didn't rush to start a chase, otherwise, if both sides killed each other until the blood flowed like a river, it would be difficult to end! Especially for Lu Ke, Gu Fei and Jian Gui could just pat their butts and leave, never to see each other again, but she couldn't elope with them. She had blocked Shui Shen for now, but sooner or later they would have to talk. In the end, Lu Ke was the poor person caught in the middle with no choice, the one who most hoped that the relationship between the two sides could be harmonious.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Seeing Lu Ke still looking angry, Xi Xiaotian quickly comforted her, "Angry women aren't beautiful, it will accelerate aging and cause skin blemishes. Quickly drink a glass of water, take a deep breath, and remember something happy."

"Drink water? It's useless to drink in the game, right?" Lu Ke said.

"You can go offline to drink!"

"Hmph, I'm not leaving, I'm going to wait and severely criticize them both," Lu Ke said. She guessed that the two would definitely come to meet them after they got away, so she didn't contact them with messages and continued to sit and wait like the Empress Dowager. Sure enough, not long after, Jian Gui's message came: "Where are you?"

"Maple Leaf Tavern," Lu Ke was very sorry that the message couldn't express the iciness in her words.

"Maple Leaf Tavern..." Jian Gui inquired about the location of the tavern on the street, quickened his pace to arrive, pushed open the door, scanned the room, and saw Lu Ke sitting in the corner with that liar girl. Jian Gui was just about to step forward, but just looking at the clearly defined profile of Lu Ke's face, he immediately realized that something was wrong. This was clearly the prelude to a storm.

Jian Gui didn't want to be the petrel soaring in Lu Ke's storm, he decided to avoid her sharp edge, pretend to be lost, go out and wander around twice before coming back. As a result, just as he cautiously wanted to leave, he saw that the liar girl had already seen him and pointed her mouth in his direction.

"Crap!!" The word flashed through Jian Gui's mind like lightning, and he saw Lu Ke turn her head, just in time to see him looking this way but intending to retreat out the door, and immediately overturned the table: "Damn! You still dare to run."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ke had already rushed over with a quick stride, the dagger in her hand also shining with a cold light, obviously not an ordinary product. Jian Gui dared not neglect, and quickly waved his dagger to block. Two agile professions, two agile people, instantly unfolded a fierce battle in the tavern's small space, positioning, rolling, stabbing... all kinds of skills, all kinds of attack methods were staged one after another, making people dazzled.

Finally, after a half-turn, Lu Ke preempted Jian Gui by half a body, and picked up a stool and swung it straight at the back of Jian Gui's head.

"I told you to run!!!" Lu Ke roared, the stool accurately hit, and Jian Gui only felt a "buzz" in his head. His head didn't bloom because of it, he was hit with a bludgeon.

"Hmph!" Lu Ke threw away the stool, put her hands on her hips, and turned to Jian Gui. Jian Gui helplessly squeezed out a wry smile. He couldn't speak during the bludgeon effect.

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone continue." Seeing some players cautiously preparing to slip out of the tavern, Lu Ke quickly comforted everyone with a sweet smile.

At this time, the bludgeon effect on Jian Gui had ended, and Xi Xiaotian also walked over. Lu Ke immediately began the interrogation: "Where's that guy?" Asking about Gu Fei first, Lu Ke didn't want to have to say her criticisms twice.

"Went offline," Jian Gui said.

Lu Ke looked at her friend list, and he was indeed offline: "He's lucky."

"Lucky is you..." Jian Gui was honest, he could imagine that if Lu Ke had roared and rushed towards Gu Fei, she would probably have been thrown to the ground and groaning by now.

"I can testify," Xi Xiaotian said, "That guy doesn't have any gentlemanly demeanor, he doesn't even know how to show some consideration for ladies."

"Oh? You can tell?" Jian Gui was surprised, Lu Ke was equally surprised. In terms of real online game skills, Lu Ke was at least two levels behind Jian Gui. Although Parallel World was revolutionary compared to previous games, they had already adapted after playing for so long. The two had never fought in this game, but after a few exchanges, Jian Gui knew that Lu Ke was still no match for him, even the gap was bigger than before.

Compared to just flicking the mouse and tapping the keyboard, this game was more difficult. Jian Gui understood Lu Ke, knowing that she wouldn't put in any hard work to study it, her habit was to look at the strategy summaries of the seniors, and then practice those three tricks. In such a high-degree-of-freedom game, relying on that alone was obviously not enough, and it was natural that Lu Ke's level was a bit outdated.

As for Lu Ke, she knew very well that she would definitely not be Jian Gui's opponent, but she also knew that Jian Gui would always give her some leeway in sparring, so as not to embarrass her.

So this fight looked fierce and gorgeous, but the two tacitly knew that it was just a fake match, but they didn't expect that this girl Xi Xiaotian could see it too.

"Amazing," Jian Gui praised, being able to see the inside story, the game level must have a certain foundation. A liar is worthy of contempt, but if the game level is high, it is also worthy of praise.

Xi Xiaotian just smiled: "It's nothing, I have a natural sense for deceptive things."

"Come on, let's go back and sit down!" Lu Ke patted the two of them, gave Jian Gui a stool, and her anger had basically subsided.

Back in the corner, no one spoke for a while. Jian Gui's expression was a little unnatural. Actually, letting a liar help, Jian Gui felt a little inappropriate. But he also felt that this girl's relationship with Gu Fei seemed unusual, so he didn't mention it to Gu Fei.

"Don't worry too much," Xi Xiaotian suddenly said, "I'm not helping you, I just think this thing is quite fun, I'm just interested in playing a game."

"Ah..." Jian Gui didn't expect that his thoughts were actually seen through.

"Don't mind him, he's thick-headed." Lu Ke guessed Jian Gui's intentions from her understanding of him, and she was really a little afraid that this guy would refuse the help from the liar. Lu Ke didn't have such scruples, so she took advantage of Xi Xiaotian's own statement and also blocked Jian Gui.

Jian Gui was helpless and had to follow their wishes, and asked: "How's the plan going?"

"Qian Li said he went to ask Brother You about the 'Memory Black Box', but there's no news yet. This thing is very important," Lu Ke said.

Jian Gui glanced at his friend list and nodded: "Brother You is still not online."

"It's been a long time..." Brother You went to inquire about the news at the same time as Gu Fei went to find Jian Gui. Now that the two of them had returned, there was still no news from Brother You.

"Don't worry! This thing isn't a rare item, right? Brother You will find out, he probably saw some interesting posts in the forum and couldn't help but delay for a while!" Jian Gui said. With Brother You's dedication to his hobby, the possibility of this happening was still there.

"It's really driving me crazy," Lu Ke said, "I'll go to the market later, maybe I can get it!"

"This plan doesn't seem to be in a hurry, right?" Jian Gui wondered.

"What do you mean? How long do you want me to not talk to Shui Shen?" Lu Ke stretched out her finger and poked Jian Gui fiercely.

"I didn't mean that," Jian Gui quickly said.

"Let me do all these things! To be honest, it's best if you, or your friends around you, don't participate in every detail of this plan. If Broken Arrow or his colleagues, accomplices, etc., see or know about it, it will arouse his vigilance, and maybe all our efforts will be in vain," Xi Xiaotian said.

"That's right..." Lu Ke nodded, she was also a well-known figure in LinYin City. Going to the market to collect a special item like the "Memory Black Box" might cause some gossipers to spread rumors, which was really unsafe.

"Then what about you, Xiaotian?" Lu Ke asked, "Do you have any other partners, or something like that?"

"No," Xi Xiaotian shook her head.

"You're usually alone... uh, doing things, don't you need partners?" Lu Ke said.

"Partners need mutual trust the most, but to make two liars trust each other, don't you think it's a bit too dangerous?" Xi Xiaotian said.

"That depends on whether you think friendship is more important or interests are more important," Jian Gui suddenly interjected.

"When there is friendship, there will be interests; when there are interests, the friendship will suddenly disappear. The relationship between people is not that simple," Xi Xiaotian replied.

"Then doing so much alone must be hard..." Lu Ke glared at Jian Gui and changed the subject.

"It's not hard! If Brother You finds out where there are monsters that drop it, then it's up to you to go and farm them. In addition, there is also a part that requires your appearance," Xi Xiaotian smiled.
