Chapter 646: Raiding Hall of Immortality (1/2)
I knew this, but I still couldn’t help but feel regretful toward Lin Yixin. I grabbed my phone, found Lin Yixin’s name and composed a message: ”Yiyi, I won’t give up on you!”
I hesitated for a moment. It took me nearly two minutes to finally harden my determination and click the send button. The message was sent a few seconds later.
”Ugh…”
I leaned against my seat and felt incredibly exhausted all of a sudden. I waited for a long time for Lin Yixin to reply to me, but the message never came. Lin Xiao must be stopping her from replying to me, and I couldn’t help but think about the worst because of it. Every time I considered the possibility that the Fruit Knife Goddess might disappear from my life, my heart hurt like someone had twisted a knife in it. Would I be sad if I couldn’t see Lin Yixin again?
I think I will.
I started my car and drove away.
It was at this moment I heard my phone beep. It was none other than a message from Lin Yixin. ”I won’t give up either, Little Cheat, so don’t forget about me. Remember me.”
I replied, ”I will.”
Lin Yixin didn’t send me any more messages after that. I supposed there was no need to say anything more than that.
……
It was past nine when I finally returned to the workshop. I didn’t log into the game since Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls would be launching an assault on Hall of Immortality 10 am sharp tomorrow, and I wasn’t feeling good as a matter of course. I decided to leave tomorrow’s business tomorrow and went to bed early.
I closed my eyes and got trapped in a nightmare. It took me a long time before I finally fell asleep. I felt both muddle-headed and uncomfortable.
Early the next morning, I tried to send a message to Lin Yixin only to receive an automated response in return: Failed to send message!
”What the fuck? I got blocked?” I exclaimed in bafflement. It had to be Lin Xiao’s work again. The guy sure has a lot of power, doesn’t he?
Well, there was nothing I could do about this. I should eat breakfast and go online first.
I went to the living hall. Murong Mingyue was holding a cup of hot milk when she tilted her head and stared at me as if she could see right through my thoughts. She asked,
”What’s wrong, Lu Chen? You look kinda listless.”
I pursed my lips and replied, ”It’s nothing. Last night’s date didn’t go very well, that’s all.”
”What happened?” He Yi asked with clear concern.
……
The girls were shocked by my story. Beiming Xue clenched her delicate fists and said angrily, ”That Lin Xiao went too far! He doesn’t have the right to separate big bro and Lin Yixin! This… this is just too forceful…”
He Yi said softly, ”Everyone can see that beauty Lin likes Lu Chen a lot. The reason she’s leaving for Vancouver is purely because she’s planning to treat her mother’s illness, so don’t you worry too much, Lu Chen. She will come back, and if she doesn’t you can always travel to Canada to see her!”
Murong Mingyue also smiled a little. ”That’s right, it’s just a temporary separation. Plus, if the treatment does work, and Lin Yixin’s mom wakes up because of this, it’s overall a good thing, am I right?”
I nodded, but I still felt a little suffocated, so I changed the subject and asked, ”How is the guild planning to attack the city? I haven’t thought of anything since I wasn't feeling it last night. Does anyone here have a plan? Also, I’m surprised that Hall of Immortality even has a city, I’ve never heard about this until just yesterday…”
He Yi chuckled. ”Well, there are a total of three cities in Vanished God City. The first city belongs to Stranger of Three Lifetimes of Blazing Hot Lips, the second city belongs to Wei-Jin North-South Dynasties of Hunting Moon Dynasty, and the third city that just recently spawned belongs to Dirge of War. However, the guild leader of Dirge of War, Transient seemed to urgently need money for something, so he ultimately sold the territory to Hall of Immortality for 40 million gold. That was how that retard Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch ultimately satisfied his ambition of owning a territory, hmph hmph. However, the territory transfer was completed the day before yesterday, and Li Chengfeng got the Vassal Token yesterday. It’s a mighty wonderful coincidence, don’t you think? Hehe…”
I burst out in laughter. ”Man, Bloodthirsty Battle Monarch is seriously unlucky. Of all the timing he could obtain a territory, he chose the one that was practically suicide. Oh right, what was the arrangement regarding the Vassal Token?”
Murong Mingyue replied, ”Li Chengfeng listened to our suggestion and gave the Vassal Token to Come See The Snow Tonight of Vanished God City. We will be joining forces with Blazing Hot Lips and Baidicheng to attack the rank 3 city, and the ownership will go to Baidicheng if we succeed. Speaking of which, we are already allied with Baidicheng. This means that we now have two reliable allies in Vanished God City, Momo of Blazing Hot Lips and Come See The Snow Tonight of Baidicheng. For us, this is an act of diplomacy and our first revenge against Hall of Immortality, Throne Seeker and Rose of the Holy Domain!”
