Han Qingqing's appearance elicited mixed feelings from everyone.
Yang Jun and Yang Tian, the brothers, were the most composed. It was normal for someone as excellent as Brother Feng to have a beautiful girl by his side.
Zhu Yan, on the other hand, felt envious. Big Brother was truly Big Brother. Not only was he great at gaming, but his charm with women was also incredibly high. This beauty had a perfect figure, a perfect face, and her smile towards Lin Feng was also perfect. Could this be their Sister-in-law? He couldn't help but whisper.
Suddenly, he felt two chilling killing intents. He glanced sideways. One was from Tang Xiaowan. Anyone could see that this little girl liked Big Brother. The other was surprisingly from Luoluo. He was stunned. He desperately wanted to advise them. My Big Brother is undoubtedly exceptionally outstanding, no doubt about it. But my silly little sister, you're still too young. How can you have such thoughts?
As he was thinking, he saw Tang Xiaowan and his sister walk over together and shake hands with Han Qingqing. He quickly hurried over, praying internally. This situation is a bit scary; please, let nothing go wrong.
When he reached them, he heard the two girls speak. "Who is this beautiful sister to Brother Lin Feng?"
Han Qingqing froze. "Who am I to Lin Feng?" This question truly stumped her. If she said they were just ordinary friends, it seemed there was some mutual affection between them. If she said they were girlfriend and boyfriend, it didn't seem to have reached that point yet. She had a sudden inspiration and blurted out, "We met online through gaming."
At this, not only the others but even Lin Feng was stunned. "Big sister, couldn't you have come up with any other excuse? Why online friends?"
Tang Xiaowan said with a half-smile, "Coincidentally, we are all Brother Lin Feng's online friends. Why haven't I seen you before?"
Luoluo also spoke faintly, "Yes, we play games with Brother Lin Feng every day, and I don't recall ever hearing about you."
Han Qingqing became flustered. "Maybe... maybe your levels are too low? I'm almost level 30."
*Poof!*
Even Yang Jun, who was watching the commotion from afar, couldn't help but laugh. This silly girl is about to be embarrassed.
Sensing the situation was getting awkward, Yang Tian quickly intervened. "Miss, are you playing 'Eternal World'? What's your in-game name?"
Han Qingqing gave him a grateful look and quickly replied, "My name is Qing Feng Jian (Clear Wind Arrow)."
Yang Tian said "Oh" and stopped talking. He hadn't heard of her, so she probably wasn't that strong.
Yang Jun, however, had a thought and walked over. "You're Qing Feng Jian? You really are a great beauty."
Han Qingqing was surprised. "Are you?"
Zhu Yan interjected, "He's my subordinate, Xiao Dao (Little Knife), Zhan Shen Ba Dao (War God Overlord Saber).
Han Qingqing exclaimed in delight, "Are you our guild leader? Greetings, Master!"
Her respectful demeanor made Yang Jun a little flattered. He quickly waved his hand. "Miss, you're too kind. It's a fate to be in the same guild."
Seeing Yang Tian looking confused, Yang Jun began to introduce her. Everyone then learned that although Han Qingqing's in-game level wasn't high, she had good strength thanks to her S-rank archery talent. She had been accepted as a formal member by the War God Guild early on. With her outstanding skills and stunning appearance, she was known by the players of the War God Guild as the "Beauty Archery God."
Zhu Yan examined her for a few moments and marveled. "I don't know about Archery God, but she is indeed a great beauty."
Han Qingqing blushed. "So Guild Leader Ba Dao, you know Lin Feng too?"
Zhan Shen Ba Dao smiled and shook his head. "Miss, you haven't been playing for long, have you?"
Han Qingqing replied a bit shyly, "Guild Leader, you're too polite. Just call me Qingqing. I've only been playing for two days. Lin Feng even helped me buy the helmet."
This revelation made the eyes of the three men change. "What? Brother Feng (Big Brother) bought you the helmet?" This woman is not simple! Tang Xiaowan and Luoluo's gazes turned into sharp swords, piercing directly at Han Qingqing.
Han Qingqing felt uncomfortable under everyone's scrutiny and turned to Lin Feng for help. Lin Feng said helplessly, "Don't scare Qingqing. She lives downstairs from me and often helps me out. She's a very good friend."
A flicker of disappointment crossed Han Qingqing's eyes. *Just a friend?* However, Lin Feng's explanation still gave her a sense of warmth. She pretended to be unfazed. "I haven't helped much. Friends should do that for each other." She then asked Lin Feng with a hint of envy, "You know the leader of the War God Guild? It seems you're doing quite well in the game."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone except Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh. Han Qingqing looked confused. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Zhu Yan couldn't hold back anymore. This beauty seems to have a good personality, and it would be too cruel to bully her. He pointed at Yang Tian. "Do you know who he is?"
Han Qingqing shook her head. Zhu Yan said, "He is Zhan Shen Ao Tian (War God Supreme Sky)."
Han Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise. "The number one MT, my apologies!"
Yang Tian looked a little embarrassed. Zhu Yan continued the introductions. "This little beauty is Luoluo, my dear sister."
"Wow, Luoluo is so cute!" Han Qingqing let out a squeal and immediately grabbed Luoluo's hands, her eyes full of affection. Luoluo looked a bit overwhelmed.
Zhu Yan pointed at the pouting Tang Xiaowan. "And this one is Bos Mian Mao (Persian Little Cat)."
Han Qingqing blinked her eyes. It felt like a dream. Was this reality or the game? Why were the strongest players in 'Eternal World' all appearing before her? She asked Zhu Yan in disbelief, "You're not... the Gathering Master, are you?"
Zhu Yan proudly patted his chest. "Miss has good taste! I am indeed the Gathering Master, a humble enthusiast of recipes."
Han Qingqing shook her head and said enviously, "You are not humble at all. They say you are the closest to Yang Jian Qing Ming (Swordsman Drawing Azure Sky) and one of the wealthiest merchants in the game." She looked at the people beside her, truly finding it hard to believe. "It's truly my luck to have so many top experts gathered here." She walked to Lin Feng's side and said with admiration, "It seems your talent applies to the game as well. You actually know several top-ranked experts."
Tang Xiaowan looked at Han Qingqing's expression and found it amusing. "Aren't you curious why Brother Lin Feng can be friends with us?"
Luoluo said softly with adoration, "Without Brother Lin Feng, none of us would have our current abilities."
Zhu Yan also said gratefully, "Without Big Brother, there would be no me. Nor would there be the current Xiao Dao and Ao Tian."
Yang Jun and Yang Tian nodded in agreement.
Seeing the way they looked at Lin Feng, not like ordinary friends or online acquaintances, but filled with gratitude, admiration, worship, and even affection, Han Qingqing finally realized something was wrong. She repeated the names of these people in her mind and felt their attitude towards Lin Feng. A possibility she had never considered before dawned on her. She gently covered her mouth with her hands, utterly shocked. It was like an ordinary girl suddenly discovering that her classmate was actually a prince of noble birth. She couldn't believe it, yet she had to believe it.
"Lin Feng, you are Yang Jian Qing Ming?"
