He wasn't very familiar with Gu Fei's appearance. His deepest impression of Gu Fei was still his earliest look: a novice mage robe, a masked face, and a single sword. Gu Fei's current image in black clothing had already become famous. From an equipment perspective, this outfit was definitely much stronger than his original one. But for Bu Xiao, that original look was the source of his trauma. Facing the black-robed Gu Fei, he actually felt less psychological pressure.

But Bu Xiao was still conflicted.

The direction Gu Fei was coming from was the carefully chosen escape route he had selected. But if he took that route now, the two of them would inevitably brush shoulders. For Bu Xiao, there was nothing more dangerous in the game than that. He firmly believed that Gu Fei could detect stealth, but was the method of detecting stealth really that so-called intuition that Duan Shui Jian had mentioned? After being so blatantly betrayed, Duan Shui Jian's fantastical explanation made Bu Xiao even less confident. In this situation, how could he dare to test his luck by walking past Gu Fei?

He couldn't take this safe road. Bu Xiao made up his mind and prepared to carefully pass through the group of female warriors that Qi Yue had brought. But at that moment, the girls, led by Qi Yue, suddenly each took out a cloth bag. Reaching in, they grabbed a handful and tossed it, and white lime powder filled the street.

Bu Xiao practically crawled to avoid being hit by the cloud of white lime powder coming at him. Panicked, he quickly retreated. If his stealth was broken by the white lime powder at this time, he would definitely be surrounded. Even if he used Vanish, it wouldn't make him transparent enough to pass through people.

Frustrated, Bu Xiao only regretted that there wasn't even a chance to hide under a table on the street. This unobstructed openness meant he would inevitably be sprayed with white lime powder sooner or later. And the retreat behind him was the even more terrifying Qian Li Zui, which was completely out of the question.

Since being discovered would only mean death anyway, Bu Xiao gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk.

Bu Xiao set his sights on one of the girls and slowly approached. Just as he was about to be sprayed with white lime powder, he suddenly revealed himself. The girl exclaimed, but the white lime powder still sprayed at him. Bu Xiao didn't bother to dodge at this point, nor was there any need to. With a lunge, he was sprayed head-to-toe, but he had also rushed behind the girl. He stabbed out a backstab, then grabbed the girl's arm, twisted it, and dodged behind her, shouting, "Don't move! Luo Luo, don't use your healing spells!"

The sudden turn of events startled the girls. Luo Luo was about to cast a healing spell, but she was interrupted by Bu Xiao. She quickly understood Bu Xiao's intention and immediately didn't dare to move.

On the other hand, the girl that Bu Xiao had grabbed struggled fiercely. Bu Xiao was finding it a little difficult to hold her with just one arm, so he simply put his arm across her neck.

"Worthy of being an old friend, you understand my intentions very well!" Bu Xiao said.

"Are you even human?!" Qi Yue's face was ashen. Especially considering that she had once had a relationship with this guy, Qi Yue felt like vomiting.

"I am human, and a person who understands you very well. This method is definitely effective on you, isn't it?" Bu Xiao really understood Qi Yue. No one would take being held hostage seriously in the game, but only a girl like Qi Yue would care. Especially since this was a personal grudge between her and Bu Xiao. Bu Xiao guessed that Qi Yue would definitely not let her friends make sacrifices in this situation. As long as his demands weren't too outrageous, she would compromise in order to protect her friends.

But controlling a hostage wasn't so easy. After all, this was still a game. The loss of dying was just a level drop. The hostage wouldn't be too scared and wouldn't need to cooperate too much. That's why Bu Xiao chose this weak mage. The moment he revealed himself, Bu Xiao had used Identify and quickly scanned the person's level and equipment. After confirming that she wouldn't be killed instantly by his backstab, Bu Xiao delivered one.

Bu Xiao was a thief who had invested quite a bit in strength, so it wasn't difficult to hold a mage hostage. And this mage had already taken a backstab from him. All he had to do was casually stab her again to kill her. At this time, Bu Xiao was cautious, afraid that this hostage would deliberately slam herself into his dagger.

"Tell Qian Li Zui not to come over, quick!!!" Bu Xiao knew that the hostage he held had little value. He was only relying on the friendship between these girls. But what if someone's friendship wasn't that deep? So Bu Xiao didn't dare to delay and immediately made his request.

"Qian Li, don't come over, please..." Qi Yue had already seen Gu Fei, especially after Bu Xiao revealed himself and started running. She quickly sent Gu Fei a message.

But Gu Fei had never been much of a conversationalist. He wouldn't check messages at this critical moment. So he simply ignored it and strode forward. Qi Yue was shocked. Although she had misjudged Bu Xiao, she still understood him to some extent. In a desperate situation, this guy would definitely drag a few people down with him, even if it meant dying.

"Qian Li, don't come over!!!" In desperation, Qi Yue could only shout at the top of her lungs, at least to let Bu Xiao know that she was doing as he said.

"Huh? What did you say??" Gu Fei seemed to have not heard clearly and ran even faster. In fact, he had already heard what Qi Yue was shouting, and he had also seen Bu Xiao holding Bing Liu Li hostage. He had already guessed what was going on. At this time, he was pretending not to hear in order to get closer to the scene.

"Don't come over!!" Qi Yue was so anxious that she was jumping up and down. Luo Luo quickly ran out and stopped Gu Fei. "Stop pretending you didn't hear," Luo Luo saw through Gu Fei's little scheme.

"Cough, how could I! What are you all busy with?" Gu Fei acted like he was passing by casually.

"Stop pretending." Bu Xiao saw that Gu Fei had finally stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. Even so, he didn't dare to be careless and used Bing Liu Li as a shield between him and Gu Fei.

"Hurry up and get out of the way." Bu Xiao didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly shouted for everyone to move to the sides.

"Can you instantly kill him?" Luo Luo whispered to Gu Fei.

"How much HP does he have?" Gu Fei had already entered the range where his spells could attack Bu Xiao, but he wasn't sure if he could kill him instantly. If he could be sure, he would have cast Lightning Bolt a long time ago.

"I just identified his equipment. Conservatively estimated, xxx." Luo Luo said. (Cough, to avoid data enthusiasts nitpicking, Hu Die won't bother giving the data.)

"No, I can't instantly kill him. Unless I can get close." Gu Fei calculated the damage of Lightning Bolt and realized it wasn't enough to kill Bu Xiao.

"Don't you have Instant Transmission?" Luo Luo said.

"Girl, I'm still eight meters away from him!" Gu Fei said.

"So you're saying if I didn't stop you..."

"Then he might have already gone crazy." Gu Fei sighed. Bu Xiao was an enemy he had offended a long time ago. He probably dreamt of him as an imaginary enemy. How could he not be wary of his Instant Transmission?

"You knew that and you still charged in!" Luo Luo said.

"I just wanted to see who it was!" Gu Fei said.

"It's Bu Xiao, don't you recognize him?" Luo Luo asked.

"I can't recognize him unless I get closer!" Gu Fei said, "Look, he's still hiding his head!!!"

"What are you two muttering about!!!" Bu Xiao roared. Gu Fei had always been his primary focus. Seeing that he wasn't as nervous as the other girls and was chatting enthusiastically with Luo Luo, Bu Xiao's heart filled with resentment.

"You guys go ahead." Gu Fei waved his hand, signaling everyone not to mind him and Luo Luo.

The girls were speechless. Bu Xiao urged again, "Hurry up and make way!!!"

Qi Yue was also hoping that Gu Fei could make a difference after he came over, so everyone made way slowly and reluctantly. Gu Fei and Luo Luo had already chatted so much and they still hadn't cleared the way. Bu Xiao felt that his patience was being severely tested. Just as he was about to speak, he didn't expect Gu Fei to actually side with him: "Everyone, hurry up and make way, stop dawdling."

Everyone was surprised, even Bu Xiao was a little puzzled. Then he heard Gu Fei's follow-up: "Let him leave quickly so I can chase after him."

Bu Xiao spat blood. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard someone shout at the top of their lungs: "Ah, what's going on? Kidnapping? Oh my gosh! This is a big deal!!!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sharp shout. They saw a person running over from the street where Gu Fei had come from, fumbling to take something out while shouting.

"Who is that!" Bu Xiao was naturally very vigilant.

"Hello, Mr. Kidnapper, I'm Duo Mu, an online reporter from Hao Wan Game Network. I don't know if you mind me taking up a few minutes of your time to ask you a few questions?" The person who came was Duo Mu. He and Mu Duo were originally doing an interview with Gu Fei in the tavern when suddenly Gu Fei said he had received a message that he was going to kill someone. Qian Li Zui was going to kill someone! Of course, the two of them wanted to do a live report, but unfortunately, neither of them had Gu Fei's speed. Of course, Gu Fei wouldn't delay such a big thing as killing someone for them. So although the three of them were heading in this direction, they arrived at different times. Gu Fei was the fastest, Duo Mu was a little slower, and Mu Duo, that ordinary mage, didn't know where he was at this time!

"Duo Mu Mu Duo?" Some people immediately called out the name. Duo Mu and Mu Duo always jointly published articles using this name. People who liked Hao Wan Game Network wouldn't find this name unfamiliar.

Bu Xiao happened to be a registered user of Hao Wan Game Network. He was familiar with this name, and he had even seen Duo Mu and Mu Duo. A few days ago, these two guys had visited Yun Zhong Mu and the others from the Ten Guild Alliance in Yue Ye City. Bu Xiao had also watched as a passerby. After that, when Bai Shi City was heavily guarding Yin Yue, these two guys had also appeared to do interviews, and they had waited for a day and a night to wait for Yin Yue to go online to interview her, but unfortunately they didn't get the chance. At this time, when he saw this person, Bu Xiao recognized that it was indeed Duo Mu. But at this time, Bu Xiao wasn't in the mood to accept any questions. Moreover, he himself didn't think that his kidnapping was something to be proud of.

As a result, before he could speak, Duo Mu's professional qualities had already been demonstrated, and questions were being fired out like a machine gun.

"Mr. Kidnapper, would you mind revealing your name?"

"Mr. Kidnapper, why did you kidnap this mage girl?"

"This is just a game. Mr. Kidnapper, why are you so confident in doing something like kidnapping? And it looks like you're doing pretty well!"

"If it's convenient, please answer me!" Duo Mu said sincerely.

Bu Xiao was stunned for a full half a minute before he came back to his senses. He immediately frowned and roared angrily, "It's not convenient for me! Hurry up, everyone, stand over there, or I'll fight to the death."

The girls quickly went in the direction that Bu Xiao pointed. When Duo Mu saw that Bu Xiao wasn't in the mood to accept an interview, he turned to Gu Fei: "Qian Li, is this the person you rushed over to kill? In that case, you must know the origin of this person."

"Of course, this person is called Bu Xiao. But I didn't come here to find him. I heard that Yin Yue was here, why didn't I see her?" Gu Fei had been hanging out with Duo Mu for almost a morning, so he was very skilled at answering questions.

"Yin Yue escaped to the Auction House." Bu Xiao quickly betrayed Yin Yue. It would be great if Gu Fei could immediately drop him and chase after Yin Yue.

"Oh, are you going?" Gu Fei asked.

"I... stop talking nonsense, turn around, with your backs to me." Bu Xiao was exasperated.

Everyone did as he said. As a result, Duo Mu was still asking Gu Fei questions!

"Bu Xiao? Is that the Bu Xiao you killed so many times?"

"That's right, it's him."

"Oh, that was a long time ago, right? Seeing Bu Xiao today, what are your thoughts?"

"Still as deserving of being killed as ever."

"Then what do you think about him doing something like kidnapping?"

"He's worse than an animal."

"Then do you know the purpose of his kidnapping?"

"I suggest you ask the Guild Leader Qi Yue over there."

"Qi Yue? The Guild Leader of the all-female guild Rebirth Purple Crystal in Yun Duan City! Ah ah, I've admired you for a long time, I've always wanted to find an opportunity to interview you!" Of course, Qi Yue couldn't be as famous as Gu Fei, but Duo Mu was, after all, a well-informed person in the gossip world, not an ordinary person. Moreover, his attention was focused on the entire game, not just a certain main city. He had paid attention to Rebirth Purple Crystal, which had also been in the spotlight during the guild wars, and had an all-female membership. As for whether "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to interview you" was a complimentary polite remark or not, it wasn't clear, but it was clear that Duo Mu didn't have a lot of information about Rebirth Purple Crystal and Qi Yue. Gu Fei, who was on the side, was already saying with a dark face: "Who told you that this girl is Qi Yue, that fighter over there is."

When Gu Fei mentioned Qi Yue just now, he just glanced over there casually. Duo Mu immediately mistook Luo Luo next to Gu Fei for Qi Yue and said a lot.

"Ah! I'm really sorry. I made a mistake, I made a mistake, so you're the Guild Leader Qi Yue." Duo Mu wasn't embarrassed at all and smoothly walked towards Qi Yue. He was indeed a reporter, and his ability to take advantage of the situation was top-notch.

"Since you're the Guild Leader Qi Yue of Rebirth Purple Crystal, then I more or less have some clues about Bu Xiao's problem here, haha." Duo Mu smiled. He was a genuine gossip person, so how could he not know about Qi Yue and Bu Xiao's old affairs.

Of course, Qi Yue wasn't in the mood to argue with this guy at this time. She frowned but didn't know what to say.

Bu Xiao could only pretend that this person didn't exist. After seeing that everyone had turned their backs to him as he said, he suddenly pushed Bing Liu Li out, then activated the Stealth skill.

Someone heard the movement and couldn't help but turn around. They saw Bing Liu Li had fallen to the ground, and Bu Xiao had disappeared. They shouted, "Bu Xiao is gone!!"

Everyone turned around. Gu Fei lunged forward two meters, then used Instant Transmission to teleport next to Bing Liu Li. Twin Flame Flash, Skyfire Wheel, Fiery Tree Thousand Flame Burst, several spells were fired in succession, blasting a large area around, but Bu Xiao's figure was still nowhere to be seen. At this time, Gu Fei couldn't sense Bu Xiao's location either. Clearly, it was because Bu Xiao wasn't paying attention to him.

Bu Xiao had always been paying attention to his actions, but he happened not to be paying attention to him at this time. Could it be that he knew how he was able to detect stealth?

The only people who could know this situation were those with some basic martial arts skills. Currently, the only people Gu Fei had encountered in the game who had this ability were Bai Shi Jing Lun and Duan Shui Jian. Although Gu Xuan's skills in the game were extremely strong, he couldn't possibly have this kind of intuition.

Did Duan Shui Jian tell him?

As Gu Fei was thinking, he helped Bing Liu Li up. On the other side, Qi Yue was directing the girls to spread white lime powder everywhere, hoping to flush Bu Xiao out. It seemed like there was little chance. No one knew which direction Bu Xiao had chosen to leave in just now. It seemed like he was no longer here.

"You guys keep busy, I'll go take a look at the Auction House." Gu Fei said.

"To see that Yin Yue?" Qi Yue asked.

"Yeah." As Gu Fei walked, he turned his head back: "Remember to notify me if you have any news about Bu Xiao!"

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Qi Yue said.

"Don't be, killing people is my hobby, please." Gu Fei said quickly.

"Okay..." Qi Yue said.

"Thank you..." Gu Fei left happily, leaving Qi Yue in a daze. Who should be thanking who in this matter?

On the Auction House side, Yin Yue had successfully entered alive, but she had already been surrounded by layers of people and had no chance of escaping. These people were all from Lan Yi's side, mostly Yin Yue's former brothers, who were now loudly denouncing Yin Yue's many unrighteous actions. Yin Yue's face was pale, but this was a safe zone, not a log-out zone. Logging out would be the most unsafe thing to do, so Yin Yue could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Gu Fei was immediately seen by the crowd when he arrived. Everyone was very pleased: "Brother Qian Li is here too."

"He's here, he's here, where's Mang Mang De Mang Mang? Where's Yue Zai?" Gu Fei asked.

"Here, here!" Someone answered from behind. Gu Fei turned around and saw Ying Zuka Yue Zai happily following Mang Mang De Mang Mang.

"Brother Zui, you came even faster than me!" Ying Zuka Yue Zai said.

"How did you find Yin Yue?" Gu Fei had only rushed over here after receiving Ying Zuka Yue Zai's message.

"I saw it on the forum." Ying Zuka Yue Zai replied.

"The forum?" Gu Fei was confused.

"Yeah... I don't know who it was, but they said on the forum that Yin Yue would go there and told those with grudges to take revenge and those without grudges to complain." Ying Zuka Yue Zai said.

"Yes, yes! We also saw such a post and called everyone to come together." Someone from Lan Yi's side also said.

Gu Fei felt that something was wrong with this matter. He suddenly thought about how Qi Yue and the others had ended up in Bai Shi City for no reason? He quickly sent her a message to ask.

"Mao Mao saw a post on the forum saying that Bu Xiao would appear here in Bai Shi City. She told everyone in the guild when she got back, and everyone clamored to come." Qi Yue said helplessly. It seemed that she herself wasn't too enthusiastic about this matter. She really couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the girls in the guild. In fact, the girls were usually very united, especially when it came to helping each other. It could already be described as being protective, helping their own people regardless of right or wrong.

"Another post seen on the forum? What's going on, everyone believes any random post on the forum after reading it?" Gu Fei was puzzled.

"Brother Zui, you don't know, this isn't just any post." Ying Zuka Yue Zai said mysteriously: "The ID that posted the post now has a nickname called the Prophet. He has posted several times about things that will happen in the game, and every single one of them has come true. So this time when he posted the locations of these two guys, everyone deeply believes it."
