Chapter 48 - Ghost School (2) (2/2)

No…….They might not even try to hunt him down. Shen Zhou’s skills would definitely be on par with those of Winter Branch. With him here, as long as he wanted to he would definitely be able to easily kill off Bai Yi!

Cheng Zhi Chu panicked. He anxiously pulled at Bai Yi’s clothes to urge him to hurry and apologise to Gu Zhen. Bai Yi, however, didn’t care despite finding out about Gu Zhen’s identity. He just continued to look fixedly at Cheng Zhi Chu and asked softly:

“You didn’t like him? And won’t like others?”

“No, I won’t. Definitely won’t! Promise!”

Although Cheng Zhi Chu found those questions of Bai Yi’s a little strange; after all, he would definitely be marrying a girl in the future and he naturally would have a partner, but because he wanted to appease Bai Yi, he didn’t think too deeply about it.

“Bai Yi…..He’s Shen Zhou. I don’t know if you have heard of him but he’s very powerful……..”

He leaned over to Bai Yi’s ear and whispered. He knew that Bai Yi doesn’t pay much attention to the forum and only used it to chat with him so he felt that Bai Yi might not even have heard of the name Winter Branch or Shen Zhou and felt the need to explain.

“It’s okay.”

However, even after listening to his explanation, Bai Yi just smiled and ruffled his hair. He said gently: “Don’t worry, he can’t kill me.”

“But……….”

Cheng Zhi Chu thought that it was because he didn’t explain the situation to Bai Yi clearly enough and wasn’t able to accurately inform Bai Yi of the severe consequences of offending the Ultimate Alliance. But when he wanted to try again, Gu Zhen had already walked over to talk to him.

“Cheng Cheng don’t worry. I won’t kill people randomly and I won’t use the privilege of being an Alliance president to target a certain player. Mr Bai and I just had a small misunderstanding. I won’t do any of those things…………As long as he doesn’t attack me again.”

As he said this, Gu Zhen looked over at Bai Yi with a meaningful gaze.

“Mr Bai really is strong. It even seems like his level doesn’t match with the instance’s requirements. I think Mr Bai is probably not a member of the alliance so I would like to invite you to join us. I wonder if you’re interested in this offer?”

Bai Yi hooked up the corner his lips: “I’m a little interested in your position as the president. I’m not interested in anything else.”

Gu Zhen said faintly: “I can’t give Mr Bai the president position but, seeing that your Cheng Cheng’s friend, I can give you a management position.”

For a moment, there seemed to be some sparks forming between the two men. Cheng Zhi Chu was surprised and subconsciously took a hold of Bai Yi’s shirt. He was worried that if he wasn’t careful enough, the two men would fight again.

Fortunately, at this moment there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps. The belated fourth player had finally appeared.

“Uncle, sorry I’m late!”

A boy with a backpack and a baseball hat suddenly appeared from around the corner. He had ran until his cheeks were flushed red and he was panting with a face covered in sweat.

He had a cute appearance. His eyes were big, and his personality seemed very lively. He jogged over to Gu Zhen’s side and then supported himself with his hands on his knees to catch his breath. A camera hanging from his neck swung to and fro in the air.

“Unc-Uncle. You walked too fast. In a blink of an eye, I lost sight of you and got lost nearby. I only managed to find you when I heard your voice……..”

“Qian Fan, how can you get lost again? Didn’t I teach you how to look at the map?”

Gu Zhen couldn’t help but gently pat the boy’s head.

“What map? That’s just a bunch of messy lines. How can that be called a map………….”

Yang Qian Fan?

Hearing this name, Cheng Zhi Chu was stunned. He immediately thought of a player in the Ultimate Alliance called “Thousand Sails” (Qian Fan Guo). He was Shen Zhou’s partner and he had heard that they would always tackle an instance together.

Their two ID’s were easily reminiscent of a poem “Shen Zhou has a thousand sails” so many players even guessed that they may be a couple. What they would have never been able to guess was that they were actually uncle and nephew.

The appearance of Yang Qian Fan seemed to have eased the atmosphere a little bit. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Zhi Chu also wanted to smoothen things out further. He smiled and said, “Hello Qian Fan, I’m Cheng Zhi Chu. Nice to……….”

“Ah, Cheng Zhi Chu!” Yang Qian Fan widened his eyes slightly and looked a little surprised. His smile became even brighter, “So you’re my future aunty!”

Cheng Zhi Chu: “…………..”

Cheng Zhi Chu: “???”

Fucking hell, what on earth did that bastard Gu Zhen say to this child?!

Gu Zhen still had a breezy and nonchalant expression. It was as if his nephew was just speaking the truth and he had no intention to apologise.

“Hello Aunty!” Yang Qian Fan said with a smile. “Now I can understand why uncle brought me over so hurriedly. Turns out it’s because———–”

However, at this moment he felt a chill run through his spine. As soon as he looked up, he saw Bai Yi looking over at him with cold eyes. In an instant, all the hair on his body stood up and he quickly hid behind Gu Zhen and trembled.

So scary. Why is that man giving him such a scary vibe? Even the ghosts aren’t as scary as him………

The boy’s face instantly paled and he quietened down. He didn’t dare to speak anymore.

Bai Yi sneered. Gu Zhen’s smile had also disappeared. The atmosphere once again turned tense. At this moment, the bear that was sitting in Cheng Zhi Chu’s pocket suddenly revealed its little head and squeezed out. It leapt onto the floor and kicked Yang Qian Fan while angrily crying out:

“Who’s your aunty! That’s my mummy! My daddy’s wife!”

The people present were stunned. Yang Qian Fan was the first to react. He immediately forgot about the fear from earlier and, not to be outdone, he started to argue with the bear.

“No way! That’s my aunty! You don’t have a mummy, you’re just a teddy bear. A sewing machine made you!”

“He’s my mummy! My mummy!”

“He’s my aunty! Aunty aunty aunty!”

“Enough!! I’m a man, not your mummy and not your aunty!”

Cheng Zhi Chu revealed a thunderstruck expression. He took a moment to calm himself down before shouting out with a red face:

“If you two continue to talk nonsense again………Then I’m both their daddy’s!”

“…………”

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 48)

Winter Branch was an account that I used to use.

In order to gather survival points quickly and escape from the game as soon as possible, I posted a lot of strategy guides.

But two years ago, my soul was completely shattered. Since then, I was no longer able to use that account normally. I suspect that one of my soul fragments may have taken over the account so I could only create a new one.

At that time, I hated Shen Zhou. He may appear to be humble, but he is actually filled with arrogance. When he invited me to join his alliance, I told him that he should give me the president position, or I won’t consider it.

I didn’t expect that, after more than two years, I would actually meet him in an instance.

I hate him even more now.

I must find an opportunity to kill him

………………..

I didn’t think that Zhi Chu would be interested in being called “daddy”. It’s not like I’m not okay with it. It’s actually quite okay.

But it should be him calling me that.
