Otherwise, the other people in the group might not only say that the group leader was lurking but also that he had run off after robbing the group welfare.
On the way back, Lin Yuan found that a slight breeze in the night air was enough for the chill to pierce his bones.
There should still be three days till New Year’s, after which came spring.
It should be deep winter now, but the cold night breeze carried a sliver of warmth normally associated with spring.
Lin Yuan played his experiences in Indigo Azure City like a movie in his mind. Once he was done, other than sighing at the sheer intensity of the peril he was in, Lin Yuan felt that his life had become more fulfilled.
At that moment, Lin Yuan heard a lovely female voice laced with the haughtiness of a lady of high society call out, “Don’t be so competitive. We should compare who can get up earlier. If you don’t sleep, I won’t either. We’ll eventually be together. Count it as your blessing. You’ll never be able to escape me!”
Lin Yuan was shocked to hear such a voice.
Where in Leaning Moon Mountain would such an obviously elite lady’s voice come from?
Shortly after, Lin Yuan heard another slightly familiar voice.
“Who are you talking to, Pan Yue? Are you dating someone online?”
Jin Qi stared suspiciously at Pan Yue.
Spirit attendants spent their days in the Radiant Moon Palace and rarely left unless they were tasked to do so.
When they were on a task, they mostly interacted with top experts and the heads of powerful factions.
Those people were definitely advanced in age. Moreover, even if they were attracted to Pan Yue after discovering that she was a spirit attendant, they would never dare to make a move on her.
What Pan Yue said over the phone was indeed peculiar.
Her saying ‘we’ll eventually be together’ was too obvious!
Although the Radiant Moon Palace spirit attendants were not forbidden from dating, very few of them were willing to do so. They knew that being in a relationship would cost them their role as a spirit attendant, and they would be demoted to a mere servant.
Additionally, Pan Yue had placed first in every category of the spirit attendant exam. If she lost her role as a spirit attendant and was demoted to a servant for the sake of a relationship, she would have tossed all her hard work down the drain.
Pan Yue rolled her eyes at Jin Qi’s words and said sarcastically, “A partner? I have a boyfriend? My boyfriend is perfect. He’s mature, serious, not clingy, and non-existent.”
Pan Yue felt that this woman was really lame, but she knew what kind of person Jin Qi was.
If Jin Qi had misunderstood, all the other spirit attendants would come to share the same misunderstanding by the next morning.
Pan Yue did not want to bring trouble upon herself, so she decided it was best to clarify the situation with Jin Qi.
“I was talking to Ji Mei. We’ll be protecting the stunning Teacher Guo together tonight.”
Jin Qi was confused by Pan Yue’s explanation, and she could not help but feel as though she and Pan Yue were from different planets.
Jin Qi did not understand how someone like Pan Yue, who only ever spent her time prancing about, could attain the power of a Creation Master.
Even if Jin Qi spent 25 hours a day learning and put in 101% of effort, the Creation Master power she would attain would still fall short of that of the ever-halfhearted and playful Pan Yue.
Jin Qi was beginning to think that the world was too fake.
Jin Qi thought, I’m much better looking than Wen Yu. When it comes to talent, I used to be below her before she was injured on behalf of someone else.
Now, I’m definitely better than the Wen Yu, whose source is damaged! So how did that wild chicken suddenly become a phoenix?
Why can’t I, a pigeon, who tries so hard to gain attention but is ignored, be treated like a common quail?
I can’t remember the last time I had a good night’s rest. Although Wen Yu hasn’t targeted me all this time, I can’t shake the feeling that she will stab me in the back the moment I lower my guard.
Jin Qi took out a piece of chocolate from inside her yellow spirit attendant long robes.
Eating something as sinful as chocolate soothed the pressure building up in Jin Qi’s heart.
When Pan Yue saw Jin Qi eating the chocolate, she became aware of how hungry she was.
“Your chocolate looks pretty good. How about I exchange it with you for this?”
Pan Yue fished a round item out of her Diamond fey storage box.
As the sky had darkened, Jin Qi took a while before she realized what the round item in Pan Yue’s hand was.
It looked like a furry potato to her.
“What do you think?”
Jin Qi did not understand what Pan Yue was trying to say.
Suddenly, Pan Yue’s phone started to ring.
After she picked up the call, Pan Yue’s expression grew stern.
“You’re imagining things and creating lies. You are spouting nonsense, and you are totally useless. All you can do is run your mouth. You’ll get what you deserve.”
Pan Yue spoke so quickly that she became short on breath.
“You’re blindly stubborn and a fake. You’re grasping at straws, you scum. You’re disgusting. How dare you tell me that Teacher Guo’s live-streaming room is locked? I’m so pissed! I want to riot on behalf of Teacher Guo on Star Web. We’re going to stand up for Teacher Guo. Go, go!”
After Pan Yue put down the phone, she was extremely dispirited.
Her palm instinctively moved quicker, and her hand movements were soon a blur.
Lin Yuan happened to jump over the stone wall in front of them. He came across the young girl dressed in yellow spirit attendant attire, and her hand was spinning rapidly.
Lin Yuan suddenly wondered if this spirit attendant had transmigrated too.
If she did transmigrate as well, she must be delusional. Otherwise, she would not be spinning the sword in her hands like a madwoman.
As the fury in Pan Yue’s heart reached a peak, Jin Qi burst. “What did you say was in your hand? I didn’t catch what you said.”
The demon within Pan Yue was unleashed the moment she heard about Teacher Guo’s live-streaming room being locked.
She felt that someone must have used some evil method to report Teacher Guo.
It must not be because Teacher Guo had run out again to fetch a parcel.
However, triumph would always succeed. Pan Yue believed that Teacher Guo would find some way to bounce back from this.
If Teacher Guo could not hold out, Pan Yue would have to be a traitor and switch to watching someone else’s live-streaming room.
