Jiang Hua's hand froze instantly. The philandering bookworm? It's him again?! Recalling the time when the philandering bookworm pursued her, she felt a chill. If Gu Yiming hadn't been here, she would have logged off in a second.

When Gu Yiming saw the frivolous bookworm, he almost punched the keyboard to pieces. It's that kid again. Is he still not giving up?

[Private Chat] [Master Gu]: Drawing, can I kill this brat?

[Private Chat] [Di Ruhua]: No, please.

Gu Yiming was displeased when he saw Jiang Hua pointing at him. Was she protecting that man?

[Private Chat] [Master Gu]: Why? With my skills, I could easily beat him in a second, right?

[Private Chat] [Di Ruhua]: Have you forgotten? The gang and connections behind the frivolous bookworm. Killing him might bring trouble upon yourself.

[Private Chat] [A Glimpse of the Master]: But...

[Private Chat] [Di Ruhua]: Okay, I know you're upset, but look, you're all alone, while he's all in gangs. You're not even from the same world. Let's just live our own lives.

[Private Chat] [Master Gu]: Okay, I'll listen to you.

Gu Yiming didn't want Jiang Hua to be coveted by any man, whether it was Liu Yunyi or Fengliu Shudai, it was impossible.

After arriving at the Wanshou Palace ballroom with Mo Huanhuan, Fengliu Shudai immediately spotted the two dashing couple dressed in matching outfits. Upon seeing that familiar name, Fengliu Shudai rushed to Jiang Hua's side, wanting her to join his team, but the system issued a notification.

[System] This player already has a team and cannot perform this 'operation'.

Upon seeing this notification, the frivolous bookworm scoffed and reluctantly clicked to apply to join Jiang Hua's team.

Jiang Hua was overwhelmed by the barrage of friend requests and kept clicking "decline." She didn't notice Feng Liu Shu Dai's request; the "decline" button for friend requests was on the left, but the "decline" button for joining a team was on the right. Before she knew it, Feng Liu Shu Dai had joined her team.

Gu Yiming had been dealing with these friend requests. After finally finishing, before the next wave of friend requests came in, he set up to reject friend requests. He sighed and looked up to see that there was another person in the queue. It was none other than Fengliu Shudai.

[Private Chat] [Master Gu]: How did he get in?

Jiang Hua quickly finished processing the application notification and set it to reject additions. When she saw the private message, she was stunned and petrified when she saw the extra person in the queue.

[Private Chat] [Di Ruhua]: What?! How did he get in?!

[Private Chat] [A Glimpse of the Master]: Did you not check the interface when you rejected the friend request...?

[Private Chat] [Di Ruhua]: Yeah... Oh my god! This...

Jiang Hua was utterly exasperated. What was going on? Just because of her carelessness, the frivolous scholar had been let in?

[Private Chat] [A Glance at the God]: You're such a little 'clumsy'...

Just as Jiang Hua was about to reply, she saw that Mo Huanhuan had sent an application to join the team. Jiang Hua clicked "accept," naively thinking that Mo Huanhuan was there to take away the flirtatious bookworm. But as it turned out, Jiang Hua was overthinking it.

[Team][Romantic Bookworm]: Hey~ Di Ruhua, you still remember me, right? Of course you do, right? After all, I'm so likable and handsome, there's no reason you wouldn't remember me!

Mo Huanhuan took one look and thought, "Oh dear, is this guy still courting death?" But it doesn't matter, she can also watch a great show of the year.

[Team][Di Ruhua]: You bookworm! Are you never going to stop?!

[Team][Romantic Bookworm]: Oh my, no wonder she's the woman I've set my sights on, even when she's angry she's so alluring!

[Team][Di Ruhua]: Leave the team yourself!

[Team][Romantic Bookworm]: Oh my, I finally got in, my lovely Ruhua, do you think I'd leave?

Actually, Fengliu Shudai didn't expect that his application to join the team would be approved in a second. He was overjoyed. It seems that his beloved Ruhua still cares about him. At this moment, Fengliu Shudai was completely elated.

Jiang Hua was organizing her thoughts, trying to use some hurtful words to "force" the frivolous bookworm away, but little did she know that the frivolous bookworm's skin was as thick as a city wall.

[Team][Di Ruhua]: What do you mean by "it was so hard"! You clearly took advantage of someone in distress!

[Team][RomanticBookworm]: Where did I take advantage of someone's misfortune? I was clearly applying to join the team openly and honestly, but my dear Little Drawing clicked "accept" in a second!

Jiang Hua glanced at Gu Yiming, and she could imagine his expression—he was frantic with worry. Suddenly catching a glimpse of the conversation on the other side of the screen, she utterly collapsed.

[World][Romantic Bookworm]: That one-eyed genius! This grandpa wants your wife!

[World][Rabbit YaYa]: Come to Wanshou Palace and see! The fourth-ranked bookworm on the PK list is fighting with that handsome young man for a wife!!!

[World][Romantic Bookworm]: Little girl, you can't say that. How can this be called robbery?

[World][Celery Stew with Tofu]: My goodness! This is the biggest drama of the year! Is this guy really that ruthless?!

[World][Lingering Love]: What?! My crush is going to pursue another woman?! No way!!!

[World][Comfortable as Sophie]: You, the charming bookworm, have absolutely no chance of succeeding! With the lovey-dovey couple, Yi Gu and Di Ruhua, you could never steal them away!

[World][Romantic Bookworm]: What you said makes me unhappy. Am I that bad?

Gu Yiming stared intently at the conversation in the world chat. Only the words of the player Sophie, who was so comfortable, made Gu Yiming feel better.

[World][A Glance at the God]: You really are terrible.

[World][Cauliflower]: I smell gunpowder...

The bookish nerd was already angry when he saw this, but when he saw what the great scholar said, he felt like he was about to explode with rage.

[World][Romantic Bookworm]: At least I'm rich enough to support an artist!

[World][Romantic Bookworm]: A Glance at the Great God! Don't think that just because you and Di Ruhua are now a couple, I can't steal her away!

[World][Master Gu]: If you flirt with painting again, I can kill you instantly.

The world's onlookers were stunned; what a handsome guy...

The bookish rascal, not wanting to cause too much trouble, wisely kept quiet. Mo Huanhuan dragged the bookish rascal to the center of the Longevity Palace to dance.

[Team][Mo Huanhuan]: Look how well I dance, Di Ruhua! You have to have a dance contest with me! Let's see who dances better! Otherwise, I'll break off our friendship!

Jiang Hua had just recovered from the shock of that fight when Mo Huanhuan seemed to have become a different person, 'forcing' her to dance with him. She didn't want to dance, but she also didn't want to lose Mo Huanhuan as a friend.
