Chapter 35 Han Family's Insight

Who else could it be but a perpetually drunk priest, seemingly a woman but actually a man, other than Han Jia Gongzi?

At this point, the team had only just begun to move, and Han Jia Gongzi stepped out to block the front, immediately halting their progress. He leisurely strolled over to where Wu Shi Zhi Jian and the others were in the formation, and said with a smile, "Naive, utterly naive."

"What do you mean, Brother Han?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian was in a good mood, and Han Jia Gongzi's sudden, nonsensical criticism made him very unhappy.

"I'm not talking about you; I'm talking about him," Han Jia Gongzi said, pointing at Shui Shen.

Shui Shen was walking next to Wu Shi Zhi Jian, the rope binding him still firmly held in Wu Shi Zhi Jian's hand. Wu Shi Zhi Jian looked at him and saw that Shui Shen's usual nonchalant expression had finally disappeared, his gaze fixed on Han Jia Gongzi, his face full of horror.

"An actor, eh?" Han Jia Gongzi drawled, pointing his finger at Shui Shen, "But your little tricks might fool others, but they're too green for me."

"What's going on?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian was confused.

"It's all an act," Han Jia Gongzi said to Wu Shi Zhi Jian. His eyes were full of drunkenness, making one wonder if he was just spouting nonsense in his inebriated state. But Wu Shi Zhi Jian couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

"There's one thing he said that you should believe," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Which sentence?"

"Their guild would never sacrifice the collective interest for one person, not even for him, the guild leader," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"This…" Wu Shi Zhi Jian suddenly looked around, only to see a glimpse of the lurkers hiding behind the trees again.

"If we continue, there will definitely be a big ambush, perhaps a big ambush that will wipe us all out," Han Jia Gongzi said with a smile.

"Are you saying that they're just pretending to let us go for Shui Shen's sake, to make us lower our guard, and then set up a bigger ambush, taking the opportunity to wipe us out in one fell swoop?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked in surprise.

"That's right. Shui Shen's life or death hasn't been on their minds since the moment he was captured. It's all just an act," Han Jia Gongzi said, glancing at Shui Shen.

"How could this be…" Wu Shi Zhi Jian still couldn't believe it.

"But the best actor is, of course, Brother Shui Shen. The rogue act he put on was a successful provocation and inducement. Do you feel that it would be a waste not to take advantage of this hateful guy you have in your hands?" Han Jia Gongzi continued to smile.

"…" Wu Shi Zhi Jian.

"At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized that he had no value as a hostage. After hearing such words so many times, you can't help but wonder if this guy really can't be used as a hostage? Then you find that they are a very righteous group, so you think, 'The falling flower may be unintentional, but the flowing water may be sentimental.' Anyway, there's nothing to lose, so you might as well give it a try. Of course, you're secretly pleased with this try, but unfortunately, you've completely fallen for his trick," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"…" Wu Shi Zhi Jian still didn't say anything, but his face was getting uglier and uglier. Gu Fei, who had been listening to Han Jia Gongzi's exposition of the other party's intentions, which was filled with sarcasm and ridicule, realized that Wu Shi Zhi Jian couldn't vent his anger on him and would probably tear Shui Shen to pieces. He quickly interjected, "You talk too much. If you saw it earlier, why didn't you say so?"

"But I did say it, didn't I?" Han Jia Gongzi spread his hands. Gu Fei strongly suspected that this guy was deliberately waiting for this moment, when Wu Shi Zhi Jian was so complacent that he could barely control himself, to kick him from heaven to hell. He thought that this guy had such a dark sense of humor.

"I didn't expect you to be here!" Shui Shen suddenly spoke, "Where's Jian Gui?"

Everyone was shocked by these words. They hadn't expected Shui Shen to know Han Jia Gongzi and Jian Gui, and judging by his tone, their relationship was probably much closer than his relationship with Piao Liu. Wu Shi Zhi Jian was immediately depressed when he heard this connection. Why was it so difficult to vent his anger today?

Jian Gui opportunely stepped out of the crowd and stood next to Han Jia Gongzi, nodding to Shui Shen and saying, "Here I am!"

"You two… why are you working as underlings in someone else's guild?" Shui Shen asked, puzzled.

"We're a mercenary group now, hired by someone," Jian Gui said.

"Oh…" Shui Shen said with a long sigh, "No wonder there are so many people. I thought the guild was huge! So many of them are mercenaries, right? Damn it, if you're from the guild, put on your guild badge! Have some guild spirit, will you? Will you?"

Wu Shi Zhi Jian couldn't bear it any longer and cursed as he rushed over. He first coldly said to Han Jia Gongzi and Jian Gui, "Brothers Han, Brother Jian Gui, this guy is our guild's mission target. I'm going to kill him. Do you have any objections?"

The two nodded together and said, "Of course!"

Everyone around was confused. Were they friends or enemies?

Shui Shen didn't care at all. He stood up straight, his face returning to its nonchalant expression, and said to Han Jia Gongzi and Jian Gui, "You two can't escape either. The Priest Academy and the Thief Guild are looking for you two. Let's have a drink together tonight." He pointed at Han Jia Gongzi and said, "I'll treat Jian Gui, but you're on your own."

"Hmph, I advise you not to stand in our way, or you might lose two levels tonight," Han Jia Gongzi said indifferently.

"Heh, let's wait and see!" After Shui Shen finished speaking to the two, he swept a disdainful gaze at Wu Shi Zhi Jian and said, "Why haven't you made a move yet? Can you change your slow, long-winded, indecisive, unromantic style?"

"Unromantic?" The crowd was puzzled.

"Heh, just saying whatever comes to mind," Shui Shen's smile was still bright even when facing death.

"Go to hell!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian felt that if he didn't kill this guy, he would definitely be driven to death. He swung his greatsword and chopped down. Unexpectedly, a flame suddenly erupted next to Shui Shen, and Shui Shen also turned his head in surprise, only to see that Gu Fei had taken action to finish him off.

With a flash of white light, Shui Shen disappeared. Wu Shi Zhi Jian's sword missed, and he looked at Gu Fei, annoyed, "What are you doing?"

"I'm more thorough," Gu Fei nodded, saying calmly.

"………………" Wu Shi Zhi Jian almost gritted his teeth, but couldn't say a word.

The people from the Gongzi Elite Group didn't even bother with him. Gu Fei scratched his head and asked the two, "Old friends?"

"Of course. We're old hands who've been wandering the online gaming world for many years. How could we not have a few friends? Do you think everyone's like you? Noob!" Han Jia Gongzi said disdainfully.

Everyone was covered in sweat. The most popular, most widely sung, and video-proven terrifying mage in the entire game was being called a noob. This was too shocking.

Fortunately, Gu Fei was a practical person. If you said he was a kung fu noob, he would probably beat you until you couldn't recognize your own mother. As for saying he was an online gaming noob, he still admitted it in his heart. But being said so by Han Jia Gongzi, he had to retort no matter what, and immediately said calmly, "Watch your words. You should know that I'm very tempted to chop you."

"Damn!" Han Jia Gongzi's expression changed slightly. He took out a bottle of wine from his pocket and walked away, swaying.

Everyone pondered for a long time before returning to reality. Immediately, a problem that had been plaguing them before rushed to their minds: What to do!

"What to do?" Everyone looked at Wu Shi Zhi Jian.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian was extremely suppressed at the moment. Originally, killing Shui Shen could have helped him relieve his urgent problem, but Gu Fei, who didn't know what was good for him, had taken the lead. At this time, he had nowhere to vent his resentment and wanted to kick anyone he saw. As a result, so many people were insensible, all looking at him pitifully with "What to do?" written on their faces. He immediately became angry: "Damn it, charge, fight them!"

"Calm down, calm down!" Dao Ying Nian Hua quickly said, and Feng Xing also tried to persuade him.

"Sooner or later, we'll give these bastards a good beating," Wu Shi Zhi Jian gritted his teeth. As for how many people were included in his "these bastards," everyone could understand for themselves, so there was no need to ask further.

"Let's think of a way quickly!" Dao Ying Nian Hua said.

"What's your idea?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked him.

"Uh, still thinking… Originally, we knew their situation, but they must have rearranged it again, so I don't know what the formation is now," Dao Ying Nian Hua said.

"Doesn't Ying Zuka Yue Zai know how to find traps? Doesn't Qian Li Yi Zui know how to counter stealth? Call them two together and find all the traps!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"They took out the traps just now. Maybe it's not traps this time, right?" Dao Ying Nian Hua said.

"If it's not traps, what are we afraid of? Charge!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"Calm down, calm down…" Dao Ying Nian Hua saw that Wu Shi Zhi Jian was in no state to discuss serious matters at the moment, so he simply dragged him to the side and sat him down: "Rest for a while, and I'll go find someone else to discuss it." After saying that, he ran away in a puff of smoke. Wu Shi Zhi Jian's state was too dangerous, so it was better not to get close.

Dao Ying Nian Hua looked for someone to discuss with, which was nothing more than calling a few resourceful people from his guild and gathering the various leaders to discuss. Now everyone knew what had happened earlier. Besides feeling relieved that they had almost fallen into the trap, they were also afraid of the other party's methods. At this time, everyone's mood was not very high.

"Yue Zai, did the other party set up traps again?" Dao Ying Nian Hua asked. Just now, under the cover of Zong Heng Si Hai's arrow formation, the Da Lie Sha group had conducted another search of the surroundings.

Ying Zuka Yue Zai's face looked like a bitter gourd: "They set them up again. The situation doesn't seem to have changed from the beginning. I really don't understand how they set them up again without our knowledge…"
