This person's name is Zhuo Xu. Yang Jia was impressed by him because Li Bai had said before when analyzing these individual players that this person was unclear.

Yang Jia now had a blind admiration for Li Bai. In her opinion, Li Bai was a jack of all trades; there was nothing in the world she couldn't do. Furthermore, she was incredibly talented; no matter what area, as long as she put in the effort, she would definitely achieve excellence.

Even if it’s just to analyze these players.

So Yang Jia was naturally curious about the person she couldn't see through.

At that time, Yang Jia also observed for a while, but didn't see anything. He just felt that Zhuo Xu and his two friends seemed to be always isolated from the crowd, as if they were... watching the fun.

Yes, he was not trying to gather information, nor was he trying to measure their strength, but simply seemed to know that there was something going on here, so he came to take a look.

Although Yang Jia found it difficult to understand, he didn't take it seriously. Everyone has their own way of playing games. Maybe someone just enjoys wandering around and looking around, but what about not participating in the fun and being a lone ranger?

But now that Zhuo Xu opened his mouth, Yang Jia knew he had guessed wrong.

He knew Li Bai. So even if he was just there to watch the fun, he must have a purpose and definitely not just passing by.

However, Yang Jia was already used to Li Bai being the center of attention, so she was only slightly surprised. As for Zhuo Xu's subsequent, more interesting words, Yang Jia didn't take them to heart. After all, she didn't think she had anything that would attract attention.

"Thank you for the compliment." Yang Jia nodded at him. "If there's nothing else, I'll be busy first."

Zhuo Xu looked at her and smiled, leaving Yang Jia bewildered. Then she heard him say, "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Zhuo Tianyang."

Yang Jia suddenly looked up at him, "You changed your name?"

Since this game was called "Reality" and claimed to be humanity's second world, everything from appearance to personal information was tied to reality, and there was no need for a new name. Before today, Yang Jia had never heard of a way to change one's name, so he was surprised to hear Zhuo Xu had two names.

Zhuo Xu seemed very satisfied with her reaction. He raised his chin and said, "Of course." Then he asked Yang Jia, "Do you want to know how I did it?"

"I do." Yang Jia nodded, "But you'll definitely ask me to exchange something I don't know how to give away, so forget it."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

This reaction was somewhat beyond Zhuo Xu's expectations. He quickly reached out to grab Yang Jia, but the next moment, he felt a pain in his wrist, as it was clamped tightly.

Zhuo Xu turned around and saw Li Bai staring at him calmly, one hand gripping his wrist. However, Zhuo Xu's face wasn't panicked at all; instead, a flicker of excitement crossed his face. With his other hand, he quickly drew his sword and charged at Li Bai.

When Yang Jia turned around, the two men were already fighting.

She couldn't help but frown slightly. This Zhuo Xu, or Zhuo Tianyang, was acting completely unpredictably, which was really a headache.

However, since the fight had already begun, Yang Jia had a good idea of what he was thinking: simply testing Li Bai's strength. Given that, a fight was inevitable, sooner or later. But this couldn't go on like this. There were plenty of people who wanted to fight Li Bai, to test her. Did she have to fight every single one of them? Even if she had the time and energy, Yang Jia wouldn't agree.

Li Bai is going for the high-tech route, and anyone can come up and fight her. Doesn't that lower her style?

However… Yang Jia looked at the field with some surprise. This Zhuo Tianyang was actually able to fight Li Bai back and forth and be evenly matched. Although Li Bai did not use his full strength, the opponent must have been testing him and not exerting his full strength.

Where on earth did this person come from?

Li Bai's team member happened to be nearby, so Yang Jia asked him, "Who is this person? Do you know him?"

The team member shook his head, "I've never seen it before."

Then he couldn't be from Li Bai's circle. But then again, if they knew each other, they would have fought each other long ago, so there was no need to test Li Bai now. He said he wanted to see what Li Bai was like... In other words, he must be someone who couldn't meet Li Bai in real life, so he came to "see" him in the game.

But considering the other party's strength, he should not be an unknown person.

Yang Jia turned around and quickly spotted the location of Zhuo Tianyang's two henchmen, so he headed over there, intending to get some information from them. After all, Zhuo Tianyang knew Li Bai quite well, but this side knew nothing about him, which was not a good idea.

Zhuo Tianyang had two henchmen, one male and one female. The male, Xu Mo, looked very strong but had a simple and honest appearance. The female, Zhuo Han, was dressed in a heroic manner, with sharp eyes and eyebrows, and looked very tough to mess with.

To Yang Jia's surprise, the person who greeted him was Xu Mo. Although he looked like a big fool, he knew everything. When asked questions he didn't want to answer, he scratched his head and smirked, leaving everyone at a loss as to where to begin. And Zhuo Han stood behind him, knife in hand, glaring at Yang Jia with sharp, piercing eyes. This seemingly unspoken duo exerted considerable pressure.

Fortunately, Yang Jia had been with Li Bai for so long that, among other things, she was incredibly resilient. She wasn't even intimidated by Li Bai's aura, let alone anyone else. So, she let Zhuo Han glare while she "enjoyed a pleasant conversation" with Xu Mo.

While Yang Jia was trying to gather information, the two men there, after their tentative attacks, became increasingly excited and began to unleash their full strength. Fortunately, they were in the open air, so there was no need to worry about damaging anything. Perhaps it was rare to encounter such an opponent, and they were having a blast fighting. Initially, they had been trying to hold back, but eventually, they let loose.

but--

No matter how much they let go, it's still just two people fighting. And although personal data is enhanced in this game, it's still within the human range overall. So, isn't it too exaggerated to collapse a mountain?

Because she was talking the whole time, Yang Jia didn't notice what was happening. When she heard the rumbling sound and turned around to look, she saw the mountain next to her collapsing, accompanied by a huge noise and smoke, which looked very powerful.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Li Bai and Zhuo Tianyang seemed much smaller against this backdrop. Perhaps they were also startled by the noise, and for a moment they stood there in a daze, unable to react.

Seeing that the collapsed mountain was sliding towards this side and was about to hit the two of them, Yang Jia subconsciously reflexively rushed over there.

Because the two had started their sparring right next to Yang Jia, the distance between them wasn't that far. But everything happened in a flash, so fast that before Yang Jia could even reach Li Bai, he felt a pain in his back, as if struck by something. Then his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Jia regained consciousness and saw Li Bai as soon as he opened his eyes.

She reacted immediately, sat up, pulled Li Bai and asked, "Are you okay?"

Li Bai let her move, but his eyes were fixed on her face. It was not until Yang Jia noticed something was wrong and raised her head to look at her that he said, "This is the second time."

Yang Jia was stunned for a moment before realizing what Li Bai had said. This was the second time she had instinctively rushed to Li Bai in danger, the first time being when facing Phoenix at the City Lord's Mansion. It was clear that Li Bai disapproved of her choice.

"I'm just worried about you..." Yang Jia withdrew her hand awkwardly, feeling that her subconscious was something she couldn't control. In the critical moment, her mind was completely blank, and she acted completely on instinct. Even if she didn't want to pounce, she couldn't help it.

When Li Bai heard this, he raised his hand and touched her face, "You should know your situation."

Yes, Li Bai is a player. Even if he dies, he can be resurrected. There is no need to worry. But she is an NPC. If she dies, she may disappear.

But every time when the crisis comes, Yang Jia always forgets this.

But since Li Bai was so worried, she couldn't act on her own anymore. If her love for Li Bai was just her own business before, and she was willing to give as much as she wanted for him, then the changes in their relationship now made it impossible for Yang Jia to be so willful.

But she was happy in her heart.

All her desperate and reckless actions were simply because no one cared. If anyone cared, they would not allow her to do this.

So Yang Jia said to Li Bai in a serious tone, "I promise, there won't be a next time."

She would remember this lesson, and next time, even if it was instinct, she would definitely change it. Because life held infinite possibilities. For Yang Jia, the future was bright, and even Li Bai was within her reach. She cherished this life deeply, and it was no longer the time when she could risk everything.

Li Bai then relaxed his expression and asked her, "Are you hurt?"

Yang Jia felt it and found that she was intact. She looked at Li Bai and it seemed the same. Then she realized that the environment they were in seemed wrong. As a result, she turned around and saw three pairs of eyes.

Zhuo Tianyang, Xu Mo and Zhuo Han were sitting not far away, watching them silently, with eyes... Yang Jia didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that he saw a bit of resentment.

"Why are you here too?" Yang Jia asked in surprise.

At the same time, she felt a bit embarrassed. After all, her conversation with Li Bai just now was completely oblivious to the others, and she hadn't even considered that there were other people around. Although they didn't talk about anything restrictive, or even show any intimacy, being stared at was still uncomfortable.

After hearing her question, the expressions on the faces of the three people opposite her became even more indescribable. After a moment, Zhuo Tianyang spoke, "At that time, I was standing with Li Bai. Thank you. As for these two, they came to find me." At that time, Xu Mo and Zhuo Han also ran over here behind Yang Jia, but Yang Jia only had eyes for Li Bai and of course, no one else.

He stared at Yang Jia as he spoke, as if to say, "You are allowed to come to Li Bai, but no one is allowed to come to me?"

Yang Jia inexplicably felt that Zhuo Tianyang seemed even more difficult to deal with at that moment. Then she heard Zhuo Tianyang ask, "Are you two in that kind of relationship?"
