Chapter 58 Flower Scroll (8)

Xie Songjin also saw Duan Chouyu, and said with a cry of "Ouch", and quickly laughed: "My sister is not smart, I am sorry for offending you, Miss Prophet, please don't take it to heart."

Xie Songlan said coldly: "Miss Duan, why are you spying on others?"

Duan Chouyu said calmly: "Just passing by."

After saying that, she frowned.

Duan Chouyu hadn't expected that the Xie brothers and sisters were all present in this instance. Her prophecy skills were very limited, and she could only predict the possibilities of some nodes.

She asked calmly, "It's just a C-level instance. Why did you bother Ms. Xie and Mr. Xie to go out together?"

Xie Songlan: "Why do you care about me? I can go to any dungeon I want."

Xie Songjin: "A major update is coming soon. It's a bit strange to release a new dungeon at this time. I don't trust the guild's exploration players to come. It's safer for us to come here in person."

Every update of the game is no small matter, and is closely related to the life and death of the players. The Xie brothers and sisters are the leaders of the second guild, so it is right for them to attach so much importance to it.

"Isn't that why Miss Duan came here?" Xie Songjin suddenly lowered his voice, "Hey, your president Ice Face is not here, right?"

Duan Chouyu: “…No.”

Why is this nickname so weird?

Xie Songjin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's reassuring. The way that guy does things is really not compatible with me."

Xie Songlan suddenly asked, "If the Second and Third Guilds have sent people, will Changyu Tavern also send someone?"

"The president of Changyu Tavern has always been elusive. Even if he were in front of us, you wouldn't be able to recognize him." Xie Songjin said, "Why are you saying this?"

Xie Songlan shook his head: "It's okay, I just think it's too coincidental. The capable players of the three major guilds suddenly gathered in this dungeon."

Duan Chouyu saw that she had nothing to do and was about to leave to find Gu Qiufeng to remind him to be careful to avoid the Xie brothers and sisters. Xie Songjin stared at her back and said with a smile: "Miss Duan, I have a favor to ask of you."

"What?" Duan Chouyu didn't turn around.

Xie Songjin: "It's like this. After staying here for two days, I don't feel very good. We old players have been through many dungeons and have rich experience. Miss Duan must know what I mean. I think that clearing this dungeon should be our common goal, so it should be okay to form a team and help each other, right?"

Xie Songlan didn't say anything. She also agreed that it would be better to form a team. This dungeon was too strange and weird, even A-level players like them didn't feel good about it.

Duan Chouyu was a little surprised by Xie Songjin's proposal, but she was not alone. Because of her consideration for Gu Qiufeng, she did not agree immediately, but said: "I will think about it and give you an answer later."

Watching Duan Chouyu's leaving back, Xie Songjin's smile faded a little: "Duan Chouyu is not right, she seems to be deliberately hiding something from us."

Xie Songlan curled her lips: "She was seriously injured in the last dungeon, how come she went to a new dungeon so soon? It's not like her at all."

"Hey, Little Tomato, are you caring about someone you hate?" Xie Songjin asked in surprise, "Why didn't I know you could be so awkward?"

Xie Songlan said: "I just think it's very strange."

"A prophet? Maybe he foresaw something." Xie Songjin said, "That's why I think this instance is even more difficult."

What on earth made Duan Chouyu come to this copy despite being injured?

*

"Xie Songjin?" Gu Qiufeng was stunned when he heard this name.

Although it hasn't been long since the first copy, the name unexpectedly has a sense of time.

Duan Chouyu knew about their entanglement, so he said, "If you don't want to see me, I will refuse them."

"Wait." Gu Qiufeng said, "Not wanting to see you doesn't conflict with forming an alliance with them."

Duan Chouyu: “…Ah?”

Gu Qiufeng said, "You form an alliance with them in your own name, and don't mention my existence. It's just right to get some clues from them for free. As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, who will know that you and I are also teaming up."

Duan Chouyu was silent.

Isn't this just having the best of both worlds?

Although she felt that doing so seemed a bit unethical, it was indeed a way to not offend Xie Songjin and Xie Songlan while increasing the chances of successfully completing the copy.

She couldn't help but say, "What if they find out..."

"If they find out, they find out." Gu Qiufeng said, "I have been wanted by the Second Guild for so long, why can't I take revenge on them? Besides, they are chasing me, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Duan Chouyu: "It seems to be true."

Duan Chouyu was convinced.

"Don't feel any psychological burden." Gu Qiufeng said, "Miss Duan, sometimes you can be much happier if you throw away your moral standards in the game."

Duan Chouyu: “…………”

She couldn't be so wicked and bold!

Duan Chouyu had a complicated expression: "Mr. Gu, you were born for dungeons."

Gu Qiufeng said: "Maybe it's because I'm not afraid of death. I live well when I'm alive, and I'm not afraid when I die. This makes me feel relaxed and comfortable."

"That's what you say, but humans are human because they are bound by too many things. If you want to be free of burdens, you have to discard unnecessary emotions." Duan Chouyu sighed, "It's impossible to do that."

Even she, in order to maintain permanent objectivity and calmness, gave up the real past and all emotions, but sometimes she could not avoid being overwhelmed by emotions and various internal and external influences.

Emotions are endless and grow in the heart of every human being all the time.

Gu Qiufeng thought of the Divine Tears.

Even the powerful God's Tears, the hope of mankind, was ultimately defeated by the spiritual invasion of Origin.

Is there any way that humans can truly cultivate an indestructible and powerful spiritual world?

Gu Qiufeng suddenly said: "No, Xie Songjin..."

"Hmm?" Duan Chouyu raised his eyes, "What happened to Xie Songjin?"

Gu Qiufeng touched his forehead with his index finger and said, "Hiss, how could I forget about this guy?"

"Ms. Duan, I suddenly changed my mind. I must meet Xie Songjin." Gu Qiufeng looked at Duan Chouyu and smiled, "You don't mind, do you?"

Duan Chouyu said: "No. Then what we said before..."

"Same. Just form an alliance with him and don't reveal our relationship." Gu Qiufeng said, "Since there is labor available, of course we should ask him to help us complete the task for free."

"I'm looking for him for a private matter."

It had been so long that Gu Qiufeng almost forgot about Xie Songjin's strange attitude towards him.

Xie Songjin once said that he was taking care of himself for the sake of his "old friend".

Who is this “old friend”?

If the top players of Shenlei's generation can become the first-generation players, then people like Xie Songjin are the second-generation players.

Gu Qiufeng already knew that he had a close connection with the first generation of Divine Tears, and was currently establishing contact with the second generation.

Could it be that the old friends that Xie Songjin mentioned are the player group of that generation?

Gu Qiufeng's heart began to beat faster.

He did not forget that Guan Ciying once said that the existence of Shen Lei and others had been erased and no one remembered their existence.

The second and third guilds were the last works left by Shenlei and Baiji.

That only proves that Xie Songjin, the vice president of the Second Guild, might remember the existence of the first generation of players Shen Lei and others!

He is most likely a bridge between the first and second generations.

Gu Qiufeng planned to test who the "old friend" Xie Songjin was talking about was!

At this moment, the system broadcast sound suddenly rang.

[Side Quest 2 Activated: Find Flower Scroll Fragment 2]

Gu Qiufeng and Duan Chouyu looked at each other and walked out of the door at the same time.

There are bound to be a lot of human players mixed in among this group of medical practitioners. In order not to be recognized, the two of them would cover their faces every time they went out.

At this moment they were standing in an inconspicuous corner, and soon a servant rushed over in a hurry.

"One of you will come with me. The princess is in trouble."

Gu Qiufeng stepped out decisively: "Me."

Duan Chouyu was surprised: "Do you know medical skills?"

"I'm just talking nonsense." Gu Qiufeng whispered, "Maybe there will be some clues if we go there."

However, the servant did not call only the two of them, in case the diagnosis could not be made with just the two of them, he knocked on the door and called a few more.

Duan Chouyu looked at them and his eyebrows jumped when he found that Xie Songjin and Xie Songlan, who were also disguised, were among them.

They hurriedly followed the servants to meet Princess Anyang.

Gu Qiufeng muttered, "This is the second day. The flower viewing banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. Can we find all the fragments in one day? How many fragments are there?"

Duan Chouyu told him the news that the Xie brothers and sisters were there.

Gu Qiufeng said, "I see. They shouldn't be familiar with me, so I just need to stay away from them."

It was already evening and the twilight was dim. When they crossed the pond, Gu Qiufeng couldn't help but take a look. When he found nothing unusual, he was not disappointed.

It is impossible for the flower god to float around in broad daylight and be seen by anyone.

But Gu Qiufeng still wanted to find an opportunity to meet this thing and ask him what he was thinking and why he provoked his left eye.

If he looks good, Gu's agent is planning to ask him if he is interested in signing a contract.

Anyway, in his eyes, the dungeon BOSS is either cheap labor or his beloved artist, so Gu Qiufeng naturally doesn't have that much respect for the dungeon.

They walked for a while before they arrived at the princess's courtyard.

As soon as Gu Qiufeng stopped, he smelled a strange fragrance.

It smells a bit like fireworks in a temple.

Soon, everyone saw a slim figure in the yard.

"Didn't they say Princess Anyang was not well? Why is she in the yard?" someone couldn't help but mutter.

Princess Anyang, who was supposed to be "not good", was standing in the middle of the courtyard as if nothing had happened, wearing the white hat that Gu Qiufeng and Duan Chouyu had seen last night.

She turned slightly and fixed her eyes on the group of people.

Gu Qiufeng lowered his head. For some reason, he felt a strange and cold gaze falling on him.
