Nangong Lei’s face was a piece of art to be appreciated; in a matter of seconds his face became as black as the bottom of a pot and the slight smile on his face disappeared.
As one of the next five leaders of China, Nangong Lei always had great confidence in himself and for that very reason, he never lowered himself by getting angry with people that he considered unworthy. However, Xie Yao mocked something that no man could tolerate.
What’s more, Xie Yao called him incapable, impotent, and cuckolded right in front of the woman he liked. Nangong Lei was naturally furious.
However, Nangong Lei suddenly remembered something and smiled:
“Ah, I see… You’re that girl with the last name Xie, aren’t you?”
Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue frowned at the same time. The fact that Nangong Lei knows Xie Yao’s identity in the real world meant one thing:
“Nangong Lei, have you been investigating me?” Gu Qianxue asked coldly. She even stopped acting like a good girl and called Nangong Lei directly by his name without any respect.
Nangong Lei was slightly surprised by Gu Qianxue’s change. However, soon, the smile on his face grew and he applauded: “Haha, Qianxue, now I like you more and more… But don’t worry, I didn’t investigate you, just… Let’s say I just wanted to make sure nothing bad would happen to you.”
Nangong Lei did not wait for Gu Qianxue to answer, he looked at Xie Yao and half-closed his eyes: “The boy Xie is not with you?”
“Xie boy? My big brother Xie Feng is a million times more manly than you,” Xie Yao scoffed. She folded her arms and threw another bomb: “At least he’s not a cuckold.”
“Em?” Nangong Lei frowned for a moment, but the next second his face changed and he turned pale as he understood the implications of Xie Yao’s words.
Nangong Lei looked at Gu Qianxue quickly, but not seeing her dazed or embarrassed, he understood that what Xie Yao said, even if it was not true, at least it was not far from the truth.
Just as Nangong Lei was slowly starting to lose his composure and was about to attack at Xie Yao, there was a commotion among the crowd of players.
A group of around a dozen players were walking slowly, approaching the site of the dispute.
The group of approximately fifteen players was led by a warrior with heavy plate armor and a shield with a silver sheen on it. This warrior also had a one-handed sword at his waist and his body was much more robust than the average man’s.
The shield was undoubtedly a silver-grade item; a silver-grade item was equivalent to owning a BMW in the real world, as it would not be an exaggeration to say that many people would be willing to pay a few million yuan for such a piece of equipment. However, what caught everyone’s attention was the name floating above his head: Yang Tian!
Yang Tian’s name was made known not only to the entire Chinese server, but to the entire world after he joined in the top 10 players with the highest level in China. Samsara Online was slowly approaching its first month since it was launched and yet, Yang Tian successfully protected his 5th place on the leaderboard as a mountain of immovable land.
In addition, Yang Tian was also known from other virtual reality games, as he was the leader of one of the ten strongest guilds in China; the King’s Land guild.
With millions of players under his command, Yang Tian was undoubtedly one of the most powerful players in the entire virtual world! So with his arrival, there were now two players with a lot of power in the area!
The news soon began to spread like sand in the desert.
“It is rare to see the all-powerful Nangong Lei being slapped casually. Man, lucky I didn’t miss it!” Yang Tian’s voice was powerful, like an earthquake that could be felt from long distances.
Surprisingly, after making fun of Nangong Lei, Yang Tian stood up in front of Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue!
“What the hell are you doing, Yang Tian?” Nangong Lei frowned and asked in an irritated tone. First he was ridiculed by a woman and now by a guy who came out of nowhere; he was losing all his patience.
However, before answering Nangong Lei, Yang Tian looked at Gu Qianxue and smiled: “Qianxue, it’s been a long time. How is Uncle Gu?”
“Older brother Yang Tian, it really has been a while. My father always talks about you and praises you endlessly, it seems your earth attribute is growing very fast!” Gu Qianxue smiled politely and, unlike her act with Nangong Lei, Xie Yao could tell that she really had a good relationship with this Yang Tian.
“I see. Say hello to him for me… Forget it, I’ll do it myself in a few days.” Yang Tian shook his head and smiled. Then, he looked at Xie Yao’s nickname with a complicated look and did something that left Gu Qianxue and Nangong Lei astonished.
“Miss Xie, a pleasure to meet you.”
Although it was very brief and hardly noticeable, Yang Tian actually lowered his posture!
Everyone who knew Yang Tian knew very well that he was a very proud and arrogant man. His defense power is enough to stop missiles without even a scratch, but even so, that Yang Tian treated a girl many years younger than him with such respect!
Not to mention the others, Xie Yao herself had no idea what was going on!
“This… Young master Yang, you are not confusing me with someone else?” Xie Yao hesitated for a moment and asked quietly.
Yang Tian scratched the back of his head and asked, “Is your adopted brother named Xie Feng?”
Hearing Yang Tian’s question, Xie Yao raised her guard and was about to step back, but Gu Qianxue’s whispering stopped her:
“It’s okay, Xie Yao. Older brother Yang Tian may not be the smartest, but he is a really upright person.”
In the end, Xie Yao nodded imperceptibly.
Seeing her nod, Yang Tian sighed in apparent exasperation and said, “Then I’m not confused. I really don’t know what that old stuff in my family is thinking.”
“Hehe~ Older brother Yang Tian, if Uncle Yang knows what you just said he will probably beat you to death.” Gu Qianxue covered her mouth and laughed softly.
Yang Tian rolled his eyes, “Give me a break, girl.”
Then Yang Tian looked forward and said in surprise: “Eh? Young master Nangong! You were here? You should have said something earlier man, I didn’t see you!”
“Pfft!” Xie Yao had to hold back the urge to laugh.
Nangong Lei’s face turned as red as an African monkey’s butt. Today was the biggest humiliation of his life!
“Yang Tian… I’ll give you 20 seconds to get your ass out of here,” Nangong Lei talked softly, but suddenly his eyes opened wide and he shouted: “Otherwise I’ll use all the power of the Iron Wall Guild and the Sacred Wings Guild to crush everything that your Yang family built over so many years in the virtual world!”
You should know that Nangong Lei’s threat was very serious. To form a guild of millions and even more players, the Yang family invested a lot of time and money to gather them all from different virtual reality games. However…
“Bah, not to mention destroying my King’s Land, everyone knows that the Nangong brothers are trash… Ah, wait a minute! Apparently, one of the Nangong brothers was paralyzed for life!” Yang Tian mocked without mercy.
However, Yang Tian’s words made Xie Yao scared. She did not know what Xie Feng had done to Nangong Chen, and since he did not take the initiative, she did not ask anything about it.
For Nangong Chen, who spent every minute of his life just having fun, being forced to spend the rest of his life on a bed was certainly a worse punishment than death.
“I see… Then you can die.” Nangong Lei pulled out a pair of silver daggers behind his back. At the same time, the people who accompanied him took up battle positions.
Although there were only 4 vs 15, none of them were worried because each of them was elite of the elite!
Seeing the other side getting ready, Yang Tian took a step forward and raised the silver shield to the same level as his shoulders while pulling out the bronze sword hanging from his waist. The people who accompanied him also took up battle positions.
Shield Guardians at the front, followed immediately by the spear and sword warriors, the assassins activated their Stealth ability and disappeared, archers drew an arrow from the quiver behind their backs, magicians began to prepare magical chants and priests stepped back.
In just a few seconds a war zone was formed.
“*Clap*, *Clap*,*Clap*… And to think I was about to miss out on all the fun. You don’t mind if I join in, do you, gentlemen?” One young man’s voice made everyone look in the direction of the sound source, only to see a 25 years old man followed by over a hundred players!
Upon seeing who the person was, Yang Tian’s face fell.
On the other hand, Nangong Lei smiled: “Has it been a little over a month since our last meeting? Young Master Yao.”
Leader of the most powerful guild in all of China and the man known as the most powerful person in the entire virtual world, Yao Zenyu!
