"Peace Stone?"
Xiao Linlin scoffed: "Does it matter where that thing is? We have more important things to do!"
"Something more important than the peace stone!"
Dugu Changshan was shocked; this was something he couldn't have imagined. But considering the two men's behavior, they seemed to have no reason to lie to him.
Dugu Changshan had no choice but to trust them, and he watched helplessly as the two opened the door and prepared to leave.
Finally, Dugu Changshan gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Su, please wait!"
"Um?"
Su Lin turned to look at him. In the dark corner, Dugu Changshan's face was faintly visible, and he whispered, "Seven days later, at the top of Pingfeng Mountain, I will repay your life-saving grace today!"
We'll see.
Su Lin waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the room, very gracefully, without any hesitation.
"They...they really are spies, they're just here to help me!"
Dugu Changshan was left alone in the room. He muttered to himself, still feeling shocked and confused, but he had already accepted the situation.
After all, the facts are clear: these two people had no other intentions or actions; they were simply there to help him!
The girl didn't care at all. She didn't care about the secret of the Peace Stone that I possessed, nor did she care about the reasons why I did it... The two people just happened to be passing by and helped me out, that's all.
If this doesn't count as one of us, then what does?
After leaving the room, Su Lin walked a short distance away and couldn't help but look at Xiao Linlin: "What are you planning to do? Do you have a plan?"
"There wasn't a very detailed plan; it was just an idea that came to mind on the spur of the moment, but it seems to be working quite well."
Xiao Linlin covered her mouth and laughed, "Thinking about it now, that guy... he was so easy to fool, he really was a fool."
"Are you so sure he believed you?"
Su Lin shook his head. What he had just said was really absurd. Xiao Linlin shook her head as well: "At first, I was just trying my luck. After all, a traitor who could be caught so easily and who was willing to hide there after escaping... he didn't seem like a particularly smart person."
"I know what my older brother wants to ask. The reason I didn't ask him about the whereabouts of the [Peace Stone] is simply because the probability is not high enough."
“Even though we’ve helped him so much, if we had asked about the Peace Stone just now, it would have made him suspicious. I’m only 50% sure he would have told us the clues.”
"Since that's the case, let's not ask. Let's be good people to the end. Besides... we're not completely empty-handed, at least he revealed some new information to us!"
Xiao Linlin paused, then praised, "Of course, it's all thanks to big brother's cooperation. We're getting more and more in sync!"
"Not very stable."
Su Lin shook his head: "Why didn't we just grab him and hand him over to the righteous faction? That way, at least we'd ensure that the key clue to the Peace Stone is in our camp, guaranteeing us a spot to escape."
"That's true. It's the safest approach, but we won't gain any benefits from it."
Xiao Linlin narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly: "The Peace Stone... this was already hinted at to all players in the opening information. Players can get it too. Others will fight for it, so of course I will fight for it for my big brother! If others can get it, why can't we?"
"You want us to get the Peace Stone?"
Su Lin took a deep breath and rubbed the little girl's head: "Are you so sure you can do it? Doesn't the outcome of the battle even matter?"
"Big brother, you don't really care about winning or losing in the faction, do you? Do you really want to be a disciple of the righteous path?"
"That's not the case, I'm not interested in that."
Su Lin shook his head: "Even if the other side wins, I can just go find an escape point and fight them. Who can stop me from escaping?"
His words were filled with powerful confidence!
The escape conditions in this match are inherently filled with the possibility of players from both factions fighting each other.
The only limitation in escaping is the "deciphering of the escape location," but there is no limit to the number of escape slots. As long as players can reach the correct escape location, players from any faction can leave the game.
As for Su Lin, the strongest player in D-1, he may not be able to sweep everything in the escape match, but he is confident that he can crush most players!
Even if some individuals with special talents are unable to cope, securing an escape spot is still within their grasp.
"That works then."
Xiao Linlin shook her head: "We're naturally not afraid of losing our faction, so why don't we try to steal the Peace Stone?"
"The game's core mechanics are faction warfare, but we don't necessarily have to follow the rules. The strong should break the rules!"
"Handing people over to the righteous faction will only lead to their victory; we won't gain anything for ourselves."
"Why don't we just let him go and muddy the waters a bit more?"
Xiao Linlin carefully considered: "At least, we currently possess two key resources for the game: 1. A high-ranking identity within the Sword Pavilion. 2. The favor of key figures."
"Yes, that's fine."
Su Lin nodded, agreeing with Xiao Linlin's plan.
As the two walked out while talking, it was getting late and the setting sun was as dazzling as fire.
To ensure that no one would search Dugu Changshan's hiding place again, Su Lin deliberately chose a main corridor route that he had already searched most of.
When Su Lin encountered some of the search personnel along the way, he would greet them and tell them the locations he had already searched, subtly implying that some of them should leave without delay.
Most people would give Su Lin face, after all, this young man has powerful backers.
"Having a good identity makes it easy to get things done."
As Xiao Linlin watched the game unfold, she couldn't help but sigh softly, "It seems that in more difficult matches, a player's own skill is one factor, but skillfully utilizing the 'momentum' in the game is also key to escaping and winning."
"Perhaps, the 'momentum' is the key to decision-making for intelligent players. I wonder how many people have already realized this?"
Xiao Linlin was lost in thought and not looking where she was going when she suddenly bumped into Su Lin's waist.
"Hey big brother, why did you suddenly stop!"
Xiao Linlin rubbed her forehead, complaining, but when she looked up, she saw Su Lin silent, just staring calmly ahead.
Xiao Linlin was taken aback and looked up as well.
But at the end of the long corridor under the setting sun, a middle-aged man in a blue robe stood like a pine tree, his posture upright as a peak, his eyes sharp and filled with murderous intent.
He is the gentleman among swordsmen, Su Qingyang!
The last rays of the setting sun bathed his shoulders, thick as blood.
He already held his sword in his hand, and was staring at Su Lin from afar.
