Chapter 127 The Unsmiling Man Can't Smile

Bu Xiao was running frantically through the Cloud Piercer, as if possessed. He had lost four levels in the short span of an hour, and now he had lost his most powerful weapon. Bu Xiao's pain was unmatched among the players in the game.

As he directed the guild members to climb onto the rooftops, Gu Fei and Xi Xiao Tian had already skipped and hopped far away. Bu Xiao could only roar, "Chase them! Chase them!" and the guild members scurried around like headless flies. Many of those who were scurrying around lost patience. Some simply left Cloud Piercer City to level up, some took on a quest along the way and went to work on it, and some simply ran into the safe zone, said they had something to do, and quickly logged off.

After all, this was just a game. Although Bu Xiao was a core member of the guild, everything was about self-interest. Before the guild members had tasted any benefits, even the core members would not obey him unconditionally. Before, they had simply thought that this was a guild activity and that they should participate. That was why they had come to help with a helpful attitude. But now, after a long time with no results, no one was willing to waste their time like this, except for Bu Xiao's close friends.

Bu Xiao led these few close friends to search for Gu Fei through the streets and alleys, constantly asking others for any discoveries in the guild channel. At first, some people still replied "No," but later on, they were too lazy to even bother with him, except for some malicious "well-wishers."

"I saw that guy in Shell Street! I'm following him!" Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted.

"Keep an eye on him, we'll be right there!" Bu Xiao led his men on a mad dash, but before long, Yu Tian Shen Ming immediately shouted, "Oh, he turned a corner and disappeared." Bu Xiao had run for nothing.

After repeating this four times, Bu Xiao went crazy. "What the hell are you doing?"

Yu Tian Shen Ming said mysteriously, "I think he's盯ing me. How else would I see him wherever I go?" (I think he's got his eye on me. How else would I see him wherever I go?)

Bu Xiao felt like he was going to vomit blood. Looking at the few close friends who were still following him, he wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

Suddenly, he felt a shadow over his head. He looked up and saw a figure flying down from the roof, a single blade raised high in his hand, a red that was a little dazzling in the sunlight.

A tattered straw hat, a black cloth遮ing his eyes, a robe飘ing in the wind, Bu Xiao only had time to shout "Ah!"

After giving Bu Xiao a knife to the head, Gu Fei landed, then spun around twice on the spot, and two more knives slashed at Bu Xiao. The fire magic was triggered, and in a burst of flames, Bu Xiao disappeared. Gu Fei strode away.

Bu Xiao's few close friends finally woke up from their dreams, shouting as they chased after Gu Fei.

Back at the Thief's Guild once again, Bu Xiao sobbed and cried in the guild channel, but the guild members were numb. Thinking about it carefully, Bu Xiao was now level 25, which was one of the lowest levels in Zongheng Sihai. In addition, he had lost his superb dagger. A core member? In these early days when one needed strength rather than connections to become a core member, most members had only one word in their minds: Bah!

After all, this was a newly opened game, a newly formed guild, and it had not yet developed a strong cohesive force in a short period of time. The fact that they were able to organize such a large-scale action was mostly due to the惯性 (inertia) they had developed in previous online games. As soon as they saw that the guild had something going on, they quickly came to help. After such a long time of making noise, that little bit of inertia had disappeared, and everyone was once again considering whether it was worth helping this level 25 Bu Xiao based on their values and interests. The answer, of course, was no.

But not everyone thought that way. The other three core members of the guild felt that this matter had greatly damaged the reputation of Zongheng Sihai. The number one guild in Cloud Piercer City was preparing to make a name for itself in the game. It hadn't even been a few days, and one of the core members of the guild had been killed like this. Wouldn't that become a laughingstock on the outside?

The three of them felt that they couldn't swallow this breath, but this was mainly from the perspective of the guild. As for Bu Xiao, he had been recruited into the guild purely because of his high level and good equipment, and they hadn't had time to build up a deep friendship.

In the end, the three core members decided after consultation: they had to step in, otherwise Zongheng Sihai would be looked down upon?

Just then, news came that Bu Xiao had been killed for the sixth time.

After crying for a long time in the safe zone, Bu Xiao saw that there didn't seem to be any reaction in the guild, and cursed for a while about the coldness of human relationships. At this time, he received a message from a few close friends, saying that the masked guy was being chased closely by them and hadn't shaken them off. Bu Xiao was overjoyed and rushed out of the safe zone in the direction of the message, wanting to give Gu Fei a perfect interception.

As a result, he intercepted and intercepted, but he couldn't stop him. Gu Fei, who was striding towards him, directly kicked Bu Xiao to the ground and then stabbed him twice, finishing him off. Bu Xiao's level dropped to 24.

The three Zongheng Sihai core members who received this news could no longer sit still and had to take action. After all, the Zongheng Sihai guild was built by the three of them, and their号召力 (appeal) in the guild was much stronger than Bu Xiao's. Previously, it was the Fighter Feng Xing who had raised his arm and shouted in the guild, which had caused a hundred guild members to stride across Cloud Silk Farm and kill towards Yunxia Mountain Valley. They had originally thought that they could solve the matter in a few strokes, but they didn't expect it to be so troublesome now. The three of them still hadn't figured out the specific details of the matter! They had only heard that the person who had been killing Bu Xiao all along and the person who had just snatched his dagger were not the same person.

Just as the three of them were preparing to take action, they suddenly received a message from Qiyue, the guild leader of the Resurgence Crystal guild, wanting to talk to the three of them in person.

"Dao Ying, you organize some manpower, and Feng Xing and I will go see her," said Wu Shi Zhi Jian, another core member of Zongheng Sihai and also the guild leader.

Before long, the two sides met at the agreed-upon Xiao Lei Tavern. Xiao Lei Tavern was the only place in Cloud Piercer City with private rooms, which was more convenient for talking.

Qiyue, Luo Luo, Lie Lie, and Xiao Yu came directly after leaving the safe zone, while Wu Shi Zhi Jian and Feng Xing came as a pair. Feng Xing had met the four women before, and had even exchanged a punch with Lie Lie.

"Which one is Guild Leader Qiyue?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked after sitting down.

"I am," said Qiyue. "Please wait a moment, we have another friend who hasn't arrived yet."

As she was speaking, Gu Fei rushed in with a flourish, lifting the curtain and shouting, "Sorry, I'm late." While wanting to kill people, he also had to come to participate in negotiations. Gu Fei was quite busy today.

At the same time as Gu Fei entered the door, Wu Shi Zhi Jian received a message that Bu Xiao had been killed for the seventh time and was currently level 23.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian didn't have time to pay attention to it for the moment, and looked at Gu Fei and said, "This is?" He had heard that Resurgence Crystal was a guild full of girls, so he was naturally confused about Gu Fei.

Feng Xing immediately introduced Gu Fei to him, emphasizing that this was the guy who "snatched Bu Xiao's dagger." Wu Shi Zhi Jian was filled with awe. No matter what, a person who could directly snatch superb equipment from someone's hand was a ruthless character. Wu Shi Zhi Jian put away his sword.

Because they were negotiating, the four women sat together on the left, leaving the right side for the other two. Now that Gu Fei had arrived, there was no place to sit in his own camp. There was nothing he could do, so he had to sit in the center, facing the door. People who didn't know the situation would have thought that Gu Fei was主持ing (hosting) a meeting.

"How much does Guild Leader Wu Shi know about today's events?" Qiyue began to speak.

"Well, I only know that our brother Bu Xiao has been killed seven times in a row. He was also robbed of his superb dagger, Whisper of the Wind. The source of the matter seems to be a bit of past between him and Guild Leader Qiyue?" said Wu Shi Zhi Jian.

"Then, yesterday, when we were doing a guild mission, Zongheng Sihai deliberately messed things up and killed twelve of our girls. Guild Leader Wu Shi, did you know about that?" Qiyue asked.

"I didn't know!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian said blankly, turning to look at Feng Xing.

"Uh, yesterday Bu Xiao seemed to be calling people in the guild to come with him to PK. I asked him what was going on, and he said it was nothing, just a small matter, and that he just needed a few brothers. Later, a few idle people went with him. It was mainly him and his own few friends!" said Feng Xing.

"Now, Guild Leader Wu Shi, you know the source of the matter!" said Qiyue.

"What does Guild Leader Qiyue mean?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked.

"It's nothing. The game is just about fighting and killing. PK happens every day. It's just that this matter was really caused by a bit of private relationship between me and Bu Xiao. So, if your guild wants to stand up for Bu Xiao, please don't bother my guild's sisters and this friend." When Qiyue said this, she pointed to Gu Fei.

"Well, this friend seems to have snatched Bu Xiao's stuff. This..." Wu Shi Zhi Jian wanted to make something out of this, but Gu Fei suddenly reached into his pocket, took out Whisper of the Wind, and threw it on the table. "The thing is here. Whoever wants it can take it."

Everyone was greatly surprised. Although this was a dagger that was of little use to mages, he could still sell it to thieves who needed it, which would definitely be a considerable fortune. Was he really going to let go of the fat meat that was at his doorstep so easily? After hearing Feng Xing's story about Gu Fei snatching the dagger, Wu Shi Zhi Jian thought that this was quite a daring fellow. Looking at it now, he didn't seem like much! He was scared before he even started saying anything?

Wu Shi Zhi Jian was secretly laughing in his stomach, but Gu Fei had already stood up and said, "You can take the dagger back. As for Bu Xiao, I heard that he's still being chased and killed! It seems that no one can save him. This brother, Bu Xiao is not worth so many of you standing up for him. You just tell him that the condition for getting back Whisper of the Wind is for him to leave the guild. See what he will choose. I have something to do, I'll leave first, you guys talk!"

As Gu Fei said this, he left the private room, turned a corner, and after walking past three rooms, immediately钻进 (ducked into) another private room.

"Where's the water I asked for? Bring it here quickly, I'm exhausted," Gu Fei shouted as he came in.

Han Jia Gongzi pushed a glass of water in front of him.

Gu Fei picked up the water and gulped it down. Yu Tian Shen Ming on the side said, "Bu Xiao came out of the safe zone pretty quickly this time. He's leading a few people while cursing and crying in the guild!"

"Damn! You should have said so earlier!" Gu Fei threw down the cup and ran out.

"Bu Xiao really can't smile anymore," Han Jia Gongzi喃喃 (muttered).
