Mingmei deeply understood Bai Xiao's heartbroken expression as she covered her face, not wanting to talk to Lu Xiaoyao. Instead of just watching the show, she repeated what Charlie and the others had said.

After hearing what happened in the royal tent, Bai Xiao frowned, puzzled: "There was no one else by the tyrant's side? Does that mean there were only four people present in the royal tent at the time? Of those, three were there with the intention of assassinating the tyrant. Why didn't the other two make a move?"

Bai Xiao had naturally put herself in the story when Mingmei recounted it. That was when she was closest to the tyrant. If she had assassinated the tyrant then, the success rate would have been much higher than if she had done it in front of everyone at the banquet.

Even if the one who assassinated the tyrant was an NPC, she wouldn't mind cooperating!

Thinking about it this way, a new idea suddenly flashed into Bai Xiao's mind!

"Maybe they're tied up and can't help?" Lu Xiaoyao, oblivious to Bai Xiao's distraction, also voiced her opinion. "But to be honest, I also feel like this great opportunity has been wasted."

"Indeed, those two are utterly useless!"

Bai Xiao, now back to her senses, actually started cursing. Mingmei gave Bai Xiao a strange look. It would be more appropriate for Lu Xiaoyao to say such things, but Bai Xiao shouldn't be so quick-tempered.

As Mingmei was thinking this, she heard Bai Xiao say, "Luckily, the NPC who failed and died cleared their names before he died... Tsk! Sure enough, sometimes NPCs are smarter than humans, right?"

Bai Xiao suddenly paused after speaking.

Before her were two people: one was an NPC, and the other was her teammate, who was also a player and had also mistaken an NPC for a player before.

But... who did Lu Xiaoyao mistake for someone else back then?

Thinking of this, Bai Xiao patted her head, inwardly cursing this lousy company! She had forgotten about what happened earlier!

Fearing that Lu Xiaoyao would once again take it personally, Bai Xiao quickly looked at her, only to see that Lu Xiaoyao was still worried about whether the "players" left outside in the scorching sun would be unable to endure it and die.

At this moment, she belatedly realized what Bai Xiao had said and blurted out, "Ah, that's not a player, it's an NPC?"

Bai Xiao: "..."

Before Bai Xiao could say anything, influenced by Lu Xiaoyao's thought process, the live chat was flooded with a unified comment: "Girl! You need to be more careful!"

"So, in that case, you don't actually know who the last player is?"

Mingmei nodded slowly.

At present, Bai Xiao carefully analyzed the situation they were facing. One player who could speak and understand Chu Rong language had completely disappeared, and the two male players from the Federation seemed to be not very smart.

And she and Lu Xiaoyao...

Thinking of Lu Xiaoyao, Bai Xiao glanced at her and saw that she was still full of energy. Bai Xiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart. How could they cooperate on the assassination?

Or should she just pick up Lu Xiaoyao and smash that tyrant to death?

After Mingmei finished speaking, she kept observing Lu Xiaoyao and Bai Xiao's reactions. Lu Xiaoyao was still carefree, thinking about how to take advantage of these advantages after she ate her boxed lunch that night. As for Bai Xiao, that was interesting.

Mingmei watched as Bai Xiaona stole several glances at Lu Xiaoyao, and in the end, the corners of her mouth and eyes twitched involuntarily. She wondered what the other person was thinking.

Mingmei guessed it must be some rather outrageous scene.

"You will probably have someone deliver food before the dinner starts in the evening. I will blend in with the others and bring you boxed lunches."

Once the two left, Mingmei couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Before she could even rest, Mingmei went out of the tent again, and boldly walked towards where Achen's body was hanging.

[Host, what are you doing?] Gui Gui noticed that the scene in front of Ming Mei was too bloody, so she kindly reminded her, [Do you need me to turn on the mosaic visual protection for you?]

【No need, you've already turned it on, what's the point of me looking at it?】

Mingmei looked at the nearly dried-out corpse, its blood splattered on the ground from being exposed to the sun. Soldiers stood guard beside it, the corpse's head basking in the sun, while its body was subjected to all sorts of insults and spitting by the Chu Rong soldiers who kept coming to watch. It was truly a case of the dead not finding peace.

Mingmei squeezed through the crowd, inching closer to the corpse, until she could go no further. When the soldier reminded her, Mingmei finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd once more.

[Host, how is it? What did you figure out?]

Gui Gui noticed that after Ming Mei squeezed in, she stared blankly at the bloody, not-so-fresh corpse for a long time before silently retreating.

Its host already had few expressions, and it couldn't read minds, so as long as Mingmei didn't say anything, it knew nothing, which really troubled it.

"It's nothing." Mingmei shook her head, then turned her unfathomable eyes to look directly at the corpse, which was almost unrecognizable as human. She simply said, "With this kind of skill, no wonder he's a villain. He's too hateful. If we don't assassinate him, who else should we assassinate?"

After letting out a soft sigh, Mingmei went to the kitchen in the royal tent.

Because of her previous bright performance, the head chef eventually allowed her to go with the group of beauties dancing that evening to serve them some tea and snacks. As for the banquet—

"Hmph! You didn't take the chances I had before, and now that there are so many beautiful women out there, you're getting desperate?"

Wow!

The master chef couldn't help but glance at the other person a couple more times because of his strangely ambiguous demeanor.

His appearance was still as fierce as ever, and his tone as sharp as ever, but when he turned his back, he muttered under his breath, "That brat's lost her mind again. Can't she understand what's good for her? Why does she have to try to get close to His Majesty? Really!"
