Chapter 32 Persistent Begging

Amidst Mei Jiu and Ming Mei's relentless coaxing, Mei Shi finally conceded, allowing them to accompany Lu Xiaoyao and the others to Bu Tian Sect.

However, besides Lu Xiaoyao and Zhen Po, other disciples would also be joining them. As it happened, Jingyun Mountain had some matters requiring Xie Zhen's divination.

After descending the mountain, the group rested and prepared in Linjing City. The leading elder, knowing that the young disciples didn't often get a chance to come down the mountain, decided that they should spend the night in Linjing City before heading to Bu Tian Sect the next day.

That evening, Mei Jiu and Ming Mei dined with the elder in a restaurant, seated by a window. Ming Mei immediately spotted Lu Gui, Seven Seas Sunflower, who hadn't been seen in a while, and Mei Ruita walking together downstairs.

"What are you looking at?"

Mei Jiu suddenly leaned over, interrupting Ming Mei's thoughts. Ming Mei shook her head, dismissing it as nothing.

However, the discovery of new players piqued Ming Mei's curiosity. They had been gone for so long; she wondered what they had experienced.

Lu Xiaoyao and the others were equally curious.

The four went to Julian's courtyard. As soon as the door closed, Lu Xiaoyao eagerly asked when they had appeared.

Having traveled for months, Seven Seas Sunflower and Mei Ruita recounted their experiences.

Despite having some savings, their low strength made their journey cautious and slow.

If the map hadn't been so vast, they would have pretended to be beggars and run all the way!

"Are you saying that your area also had a sect destroyed by the Zerg?" The game world was too large, and some news couldn't spread quickly.

Besides, according to their description, their sect and family were ordinary, destroyed overnight, leaving no survivors.

No one sought justice, and no one advocated for them, so the news went largely unnoticed.

"At first, we were clueless, thinking it was a vendetta. We hid for a long time, but then we heard similar incidents and saw wanted orders issued by major sects. That's when we knew it was the sect's destruction."

"But why would the Zerg go so far to do these things? Is this Zerg so busy?" The more Lu Xiaoyao listened, the more she felt that this Zerg was an overachieving villain, determined to work people to death.

How could it stir up trouble in the mainland's center while also slaughtering families in remote border areas?

"I already said, it has a teleportation array," Lu Gui couldn't help but remind her, seeing Lu Xiaoyao's incredulous expression.

Hearing Lu Gui's words, the other two were shocked.

Seven Seas Sunflower: "It can teleport?"

Mei Ruita: "Using an array? Does this Zerg even know arrays?"

"It probably doesn't, so I came down the mountain with my Shishu to find someone at Bu Tian Sect. Bu Tian Sect is one of the major sects in the world known for their array skills."

Lu Xiaoyao proudly showed off her resourcefulness. Seven Seas Sunflower and Mei Ruita praised her progress and good performance in the game.

Lu Gui was too lazy to expose Lu Xiaoyao's less glorious side.

Behind Lu Xiaoyao's highlights always lay these silly and embarrassing truths.

Like the time she discovered the array during the siege of the evil beings. Other players said she found it while being chased and running all over the place.

It sounded impressive that she was the only one to discover it, but the addition of "running all over the place" made it hilarious.

As for how she got to know and become familiar with the direct disciple of the sect leader, it was thanks to Lu Xiaoyao's lack of pickiness.

Mu Chen made the best snacks for Ming Mei, but sometimes they weren't perfect on the first try. Lu Xiaoyao, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, ate all the slightly imperfect ones that didn't affect the taste.

Perhaps that's what made the other party think Lu Xiaoyao was someone they could be friends with.

…

After dinner, Lu Xiaoyao and Mei Jiu were personally escorted back to their rooms by the elder, who thoughtfully and silently set up a defensive array for them.

This was to guard against enemies and prevent them from sneaking out in the middle of the night.

Like now, Mei Jiu stood at the door, waving to Ming Mei, who had half a foot out the door but suddenly stopped.

"Hurry up! If the elder finds out, we won't be able to leave! If you don't hurry, the wonton and fried skewers stalls will close for the night!"

Mei Jiu didn't notice that the elder, who had completely concealed his aura, was standing behind her, looking down at her.

Ming Mei: "...I think I'm a little sleepy..."

Silently retracting her foot, Ming Mei glanced at Mei Jiu. Instantly, the telepathic connection between the twins made Mei Jiu feel a sense of impending doom!

Oh, no!

"Ah, ah~~ Right, it's pretty late!" Mei Jiu didn't even turn her head, rushing back into her room. Ming Mei closed the door instantly after Mei Jiu entered. As soon as Mei Jiu turned around, she saw the usually smiling elder still wearing a smile, acknowledging their "sensible" behavior.

[Hey, do you think my uncle has some kind of obsession with squinting eyes being monsters?]

[Perhaps, because Yan Hui himself has squinting eyes, so...] It was just a dark sense of humor, Guigui didn't need to say it too clearly.

[I heard my godfather say that the reason my uncle has squinting eyes is because he didn't control his gaming and became nearsighted when he was young.]

[With such advanced medicine in the interstellar era, do you think I'd believe that?]

[I don't believe it either.]

After complaining to Guigui for a while, Ming Mei remembered something.

[Why haven't I seen any Enforcers this round? It's so strange.]

[Host, I forgot if you didn't mention it.] Guigui also realized something felt off this round, now it finally understood!

[Did the Enforcers not enter? Or what happened?]

Remembering how helpful the Enforcers were before, they were definitely NPCs among NPCs. As soon as they appeared, the Zerg would run for their lives!

[Could it be that they really didn't come this time?] Ming Mei still remembered the Enforcers dealing with the Zerg, it was quite shocking. They, the players, might suffer losses or even be eliminated when encountering the Zerg.

But it was different with the Enforcers. They were also ridiculously powerful.

[We've been playing this round for so long and struggling so much because the Enforcers aren't here, right?] Ming Mei came to a conclusion. [I was wondering what I had forgotten, it was this!]

Hearing Ming Mei say that she noticed something was wrong with her memory, Guigui was excited, thinking Ming Mei had broken through some kind of constraint, but the next second, she said something like that.

Guigui was upset. .oΓg

At the same time, it remembered something else again—it forgot to mention Mu Chen again today _(¦3」∠)_
