"Someone’s coming?"

Su Ran, worried about the safety of the two women, took advantage of the darkness to float in midair and listened carefully to the conversation of the players above.

"Hahaha, what a small world, Leader Yu Jing, I didn’t expect to meet you so soon!"

Dai Xuan, while approaching the steady drizzle, laughed and said, "This fate is truly beyond words. Leader Yu Jing, what do you think?"

"Pah, the world is full of shameless people, but it’s my first time seeing someone at your level! Big sister, the more you deal with such people, the more they’ll take advantage of you!"

Lin Yuqing appeared formidable with her hands on her hips and a stern look in her eyes, which, at a glance, seemed quite convincing. ƒrēewebnovel.com

"Woman, how can you be so ungrateful? Don’t think that just because Leader Yu Jing is protecting you, I wouldn’t dare to touch you. Push me too far, and I’ll make sure you can’t leave this place today!"

The anger that Dai Xuan had finally managed to calm flared up again. If it weren’t for Yu Jing standing beside him, he would have already taken action—how could he allow this woman to live up to now!

"Leader Dai, you really have some nerve, a grown man stooping to argue with a woman, isn’t that embarrassing?"

Yu Jing looked at Dai Xuan, whose face was alternating between green and red, and couldn’t help but scoff, "What now, affected by so many curses you even lost your pet, and you still can’t stay quiet? Be careful not to end up dead here!"

"You needn’t concern yourself with me!"

Dai Xuan replied irritably, realizing that he simply did not get along with these two women; every encounter seemed to trigger a chemical reaction, making a spectacle for his brothers to laugh at. But when he saw the hole next to the two women, his eyes lit up. He hurried forward a few steps, chuckled, and said, "Leader Yu Jing, as you can see, this terrain is too dangerous. It’s difficult for you two girls to make it on your own here. How about we put our past grievances aside, form a team and help each other out? What do you say?"

"Leader Dai, you needn’t trouble yourself over us. My sister and I are doing just fine. There’s a way out on the right—have a safe journey; I won’t see you off."

Yu Jing didn’t even think before she outright refused.

"Leader Yu Jing, even at a time like this, you still talk tough. You know we can’t leave this place in such a short time. Don’t end up bullied with no way to regain face!"

Tired of wasting words with Yu Jing, Dai Xuan walked up to the mouth of the cave and focused his attention on this dark and gloomy hole.

"Don’t you guys come near there!"

Seeing this, Lin Yuqing instantly became upset. Spilt Water was still below, and if these players jumped down, there would be nowhere for him to hide, a consequence she dared not contemplate.

"Little sis!"

Yu Jing hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was already too late. She couldn’t help but feel annoyed with herself. Her little sister had just reminded the other party of the mystery below, hadn’t she?

"Oh? Can you tell me why we shouldn’t come near there?"

Dai Xuan smiled at Lin Yuqing, his eyes gleaming with a dangerous light, much like a big bad wolf.

"Ah..."

Lin Yuqing was not stupid; seeing what was happening in front of her, she realized how foolish her outburst had been. She stamped her foot in frustration, turned around, and decided to ignore the detestable player in front of her.

"Leader, there might be treasures inside!"

A warrior player by Dai Xuan’s side sensed something and quickly offered advice, hoping to score some points with Dai Xuan.

"That’s obvious, you don’t have to tell me!"

Dai Xuan glared at the warrior player irritably but then, as if something had occurred to him, he smiled, patted the warrior player’s shoulder, and said, "Seeing how sharp and clever you are, I’ll give you a chance to distinguish yourself."

"Please speak, Leader!"

The warrior player, seeing himself finally put to important use, trembled with excitement. This was the hard-earned chance he had fought for, and he must seize it!

"Jump down from here and see what secrets are inside the cave."

Dai Xuan looked at the warrior seriously and said in a solemn voice, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Yes!"

The warrior player felt his heart beating so fiercely with excitement he thought it might leap out of his chest. Just to be remembered by the leader would mean standing out from the guild members and swiftly climbing the ranks was no issue at all!

Then his salary would multiply several times over, he could marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of life. It couldn’t get any better!

Many players unwilling to be mediocre displayed looks of envy, regretting why they hadn’t stepped forward in time, allowing that kid to snatch the opportunity!

"Leader, when I reach the bottom of the cave, I’ll use a torch as a signal. If there’s no danger, I will definitely send up a light!"

Not lacking in cleverness, this warrior player had thought about this aspect. Since it was impossible to transmit messages in this terrain, his plan was indeed very prudent.

"Good, do as you said. If you succeed this time, you’ll be rewarded with 1,000 guild points!"

Dai Xuan patted the warrior player on the shoulder again, smiling, "Go then, I await your good news!"

"Whoosh!"

The warrior player’s head had been clouded by excitement under Dai Xuan’s brief encouragement. Without caring whether the cave was dangerous, he jumped down on the spot, his courage as a rookie tearing through the dense veil of darkness as he plunged in and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.

"Hehe."

Dai Xuan’s gaze lingered on Lin Yuqing’s face. At the instant the warrior jumped, he distinctly saw this woman display a panicked emotion, which made him even more certain there must be an unspeakable secret hidden in the cave!

"Sis, what should we do now?"

Seeing the trouble she had caused, Lin Yuqing became somewhat distraught. She quietly tugged at her sister’s clothes and whispered in her ear, "Yu Jing won’t run into trouble, right?"

"Since it’s already happened, let them fuss about. Overturning Water said it’s very dangerous inside. Whether or not that warrior can survive is questionable!"

What Yu Jing was really worried about was that the feud between Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained and Dancing Demons Guild ran deep, and Dai Xuan would certainly not let things slide. Currently, with no forces under her command, she couldn’t pose a threat to Dai Xuan. If Overturning Water were to be caught, he would not escape his fate.

However, Yu Jing did not share this with her sister to avoid alarming her. After soothing her sister’s emotions, Yu Jing looked through the shield skeleton towards the pitch-black cave.

Yet.

Something disappointing happened for Yu Jing. She noticed a faint light from within the cave that was quite conspicuous amidst the darkness.

This is not good!

Yu Jing was startled. She knew all too well what that light signified, and the sliver of hope she held turned into deep worry. She could only pray that Overturning Water wouldn’t be found by Dai Xuan’s men.

"Haha, it’s safe down here, brothers, come on up!"

Dai Xuan, cunning by nature, certainly wouldn’t risk himself. He stepped back a few steps, making room for the hundreds of people behind him, signaling them to jump down into the cave together.

At that moment, Dai Xuan did not forget to smirk disdainfully at the two sisters, his meaning clear without words.
