24 Chapter 24 - Amethyst Rebirth (1/2)

”Come out! We're outside the Hall of Guild Creation!” July sent another message.

Gu Fei sighed and squeezed his way toward the entrance. He did not wish to admit it, but he had fallen into Xi Xiaotian's scheme once more. Although it was difficult to judge if this was a good or bad thing, Gu Fei nevertheless did not enjoy the feeling of being duped.

Gu Fei immediately identified the person who had called him out upon leaving the Hall of Guild Creation.

A group of women could be seen gathered around a corner of the eastern wall of the Hall of Guild Creation. Once Gu Fei stepped off the premise a hand immediately shot out to point at him. It was the little brat Xi Xiaotian had called Kitty. ”That's him!” the kid yelled.

The girls turned their heads in unison; their eyes staring straight at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei immediately counted six people in their group. He should have no issues handling that much if it came down to a fight, so he stood at where he was with a calm expression.

The six standing next to one another walked toward Gu Fei. Having the attention of six women should have been something to be proud of, but Gu Fei's heart squeezed and hands became sweaty instead. This was because he could feel killing intent emanating from them.

There were many players passing by that stopped on their tracks and looked at Gu Fei enviously. They carefully examined the six ladies. They became even more mad with envy when they realized that the six were all outstanding beauties.

All the male players swallowed their saliva and audible gulps escaped when the six ladies walked up to Gu Fei.

”Thousand Miles Drunk?” asked the girl with a petite frame and short hair standing right in the middle of the six as she stared at him.

Gu Fei nodded his head. He immediately felt a sense of closeness to this short haired lady. Though, it was not because of some romantic feelings and instead was due to her equipment. Gu Fei could tell from a single glance that the lady had a Fighter job class. This was the job class that Gu Fei wanted the most at the beginning. Alas, he did not become a Fighter due to a twist of fate. After he got into the game, he found out there were lesser players who chose the Fighter job class as compared to the other classes. Apparently, it was due to the difficulty of maintaining particular body postures when the players tried to execute certain moves or skills. Many players who chose the job class found it to be physically demanding. Thus, the newer players who had heard about this avoided it on purpose. Now that Gu Fei finally had the chance to meet a player that chose to be a Fighter, he could barely hold back his excitement. Gu Fei assumed that anyone who chose this job class must be a kung-fu lover like himself.

”I'm July,” the lady introduced herself.

”Hello,” Gu Fei nodded in response.

”I'm the Guild Leader of Amethyst Rebirth.”

”So I see,” Gu Fei said.

”Could I trouble you to explain to us how all of this happened and how you ended up in our guild?” July said icily.

”Well… I was a little confused by this at first. But I think I somewhat understand what has happened now. I will need her to explain as well in order for everyone to get the whole picture,” Gu Fei pointed at Kitty.

July looked at Kitty as Kitty looked intently at Gu Fei as well.

”Xi Xiaotian said you guys were short of one person to nominate your guild and needed my help to do so,” Gu Fei began.

”We were missing one because we have very strict requirements with regard to our guild members,” July explained.

Gu Fei recalled the guild member list having nineteen 'female' in the gender column and nodded his head, ”Yes, I saw.” He then looked at Kitty, ”What did Xi Xiaotian say to you?”

Kitty stared at him as she said, ”That she promised to join a friend's guild so she couldn't join ours, and that the friend is you.”

Gu Fei recalled what had happened back then and said, ”She told you she needed to inform me about not wanting to join my guild in order to join yours. So you thanked me when she brought me back because you assumed that I didn't make things difficult for her and allowed her to join your guild; am I right?”

Kitty nodded her head.

”As for me, I thought Xi Xiaotian was helping her to convince me to nominate for your guild, so she thanked me.” Gu Fei addressed the six ladies, ”Is everything clear now? It was a misunderstanding orchestrated by her.”

”That d*mn Xiaotian!” July stamped her feet.

”Afterward, she got rid of Kitty to prevent her from seeing me doing the nomination. I don't know how she found a loophole that allowed a male player to join your guild,” Gu Fei said.

July sighed, ”There's no way to verify the identity of a nominator for a guild. We would normally close the guild's nomination, and would only temporarily open it when we found a suitable candidate. This is to prevent random people from nominating themselves in.”

”I see,” Gu Fei sighed.
