"Holy crap, thank goodness I checked, I really did have it in my backpack, otherwise I wouldn't even know when it crawled into my body. Tengyun Pavilion is a killer!"
Upon seeing this message, the chat was immediately filled with unease.
"No way? Really? I checked my backpack too, it's not there. Could it be that I just forgot it?"
“I looked for it too. There was one, but I had to look three times to find it. Goodness, it was coiled inside one of my props. You wouldn’t notice it unless you looked closely.”
"Then I'll go look for it again..."
Whether they found the filament in their backpack or not, they were still uneasy.
I was so afraid that I might have hidden a tiny thread in my backpack that I didn't notice it, and I couldn't rest easy no matter how many times I searched.
The public chat started erupting with angry comments about Tengyun Pavilion's lack of ethics.
"I think they just want to provoke conflict between us and the Cloud Alliance. When the Cloud Alliance is reduced to ashes, we will also become ashes. They happen to have the medicine to control the ashes, so they will be the only ones who matter in this jungle."
"That's true. No wonder they gave us this kind of bomb. They never had good intentions from the start."
The people from Tengyun Pavilion are now in a difficult position to defend themselves, but they are indeed in the wrong.
But they never expected the bomb's secret to be exposed. Now, faced with a barrage of insults on the public chat, they simply reverted to their initial tough stance.
"One bottle of Kejiao potion costs fifty points. Limited quantity, first come, first served. You can get one for free by using members of the Cloud Alliance!"
They didn't say anything more.
No matter how many times players tagged them or questioned them, they remained unmoved, offering no further explanation, and simply repeated the same statement.
This infuriated the players in the public chat.
"Damn it! I'm so angry! Are you robots or what? Is that all you can say?"
"Do you think we'll let this go? Call your supervisor out here!"
"Do they really think we're pushovers? Who knows where their camp is? I'll attack!"
"You're going to attack? Before you even reach their camp, they'll drop those bombs on you. Can you withstand that?"
"..."
"Damn it! Isn't there any other way to control them?"
"Ahem... How about we try contacting a big shot in the Cloud Alliance?"
Upon seeing this, Bai Yu almost cursed. He pointed at the sentence in the public chat, looked at Yun Jian, and opened and closed his mouth several times in anger before finally managing to speak.
"Have these people no shame? They just rallied a large force to attack us to curry favor with Tengyun Pavilion, and now they want our help? What do they take us for? Brainless fools?"
The fourth brother was so angry he laughed. "These people only think about themselves. Have they ever thought about what we think? Believe me or not, someone will shamelessly agree with us soon."
Yun Jian leaned against the table, propping his head up with one hand, his eyes half-closed, looking listless. It was unclear whether he was resting or observing the activity on the public screen.
Not long after the two finished speaking, someone in the public chat said, "That's right. Now Tengyun Pavilion and Jiao Shi are both our enemies. The people of Yun Alliance are kind enough not to sit idly by."
"More importantly, they also have a grudge against Tengyun Pavilion, so it's not impossible for us to join forces to deal with Tengyun Pavilion!"
Bai Yu and Lao Si were furious and were about to speak up to retort when a new message suddenly appeared in the public chat.
Yun Jian: "Do you think I have 'Great Injustice' written on my forehead? Why do you think I'd help you fight your enemies right after you ganged up on me? Do I look like that kind of magnanimous person? Besides, even if we're going to deal with Tengyun Pavilion, how confident are you that I'd cooperate with a bunch of trash like you? A disorganized bunch, I don't know if you're going to fight or just be a hindrance..."
The noisy public chat instantly fell silent.
The fourth brother and Bai Yu both turned to look at Yun Jian at the same time, and then gave her a thumbs up.
"The boss's scolding was excellent, brilliant, and absolutely brilliant!"
Bai Yu laughed so hard his eyes crinkled. "I've wanted to curse these trash for a long time. There are all sorts of birds in a big forest. They always act like no one else has a brain."
"It's not that they're brainless, they just want to try their luck. After all, some people can really be morally blackmailed." The fourth brother felt this deeply.
Yun Jian turned off the public chat, yawned, and lay down on the table. "I'm going to take a nap. Call me if you need anything."
Bai Yu frowned. "You're going to sleep here? Aren't you going back to your room?"
"Yeah, boss, you should go back to your room first. You can't sleep here. You'll catch a cold."
Yunshan shook his head. "I'll just take a nap. You guys go do your own thing. Okay, don't disturb my sleep."
The two were kicked out of the room in a huff.
The group thought the matter would end there, but not long after, the fourth member received a private message: "Is this the person in charge of the Cloud Alliance? I'm just an ordinary player. Are you still hiring? I'm desperate and have no other choice but to come to you. Please, please help me!"
The fourth brother has been following Yun Jian for some time now. He hasn't learned much else, but he has learned a lot about the importance of being cautious.
Moreover, at this crucial moment, he certainly won't let anyone in easily.
Before he could reply, the person quickly said, "I have never cursed Yun Jian in the public chat, nor have I joined the Li Alliance, nor have I ever been a lackey of the Tengyun Pavilion. This is my chat history. You can take a look if you don't believe me."
He seems to be a player genuinely seeking refuge.
So, the fourth brother took the man's information and showed it to Liang Song. "Brother Liang, what do you think this man's purpose is?"
Liang Song glanced at him. "You want to take him in?"
The fourth brother quickly shook his head: "Am I stupid? We don't have many supplies left, why would we take him in? I just feel that this person's arrival is suspicious, and I wanted to ask you to analyze what kind of conspiracy he might be plotting."
Liang Song checked all the information about this person.
"The background is quite clean, you can't tell anything."
"The background is too clean, and it's at this critical juncture. I always feel that he's not that simple. I wonder which side is playing a new trick."
Everyone knows that the Cloud Alliance is currently furious and is xenophobic towards all players, yet this person still eagerly came to beg for refuge. It's no wonder something's up.
Liang Song was also undecided, so Lao Si went to find Yun Jian. He explained the situation of this person and his own guesses, and asked Yun Jian, "Boss, what should we do with this person?"
Yun tapped his fingers on the table for a while, then suddenly spoke up, "Let him in."
The fourth brother looked up instantly, "Boss?"
Yun Jian sneered, "This person is either trying to sneak in and kill someone, or he was sent by Tengyun Pavilion. I'd like to see what tricks they're up to."
The fourth brother nodded and was about to reply to the person when Yun Jian stopped him, "Wait a minute, how is Xiao Zhen? We'll need her help later."
The fourth brother shook his head. "I don't know. I'll send a message to Aunt Zhang to ask."
Soon, the two received a reply: "Xiao Zhen has been having nightmares, and I can't wake her up."
Yun Jian thought for a moment, "I'll go take a look."
The fourth brother quickly followed.
Xiao Zhen was lying in bed, and Aunt Zhang was wiping her sweat with a handkerchief. When she saw Yun Jian come in, she quickly greeted her, "Miss Yun, look at this... this child has been having nightmares for a long time, and we can't wake her up no matter what we do. Is she having a nightmare?"
As Yun approached, he could clearly hear Xiao Zhen repeatedly muttering, "No...no...don't come any closer!"
At the same time, Xiao Zhen was waving her hands frantically, as if she was trying to drive someone away.
Yun Jian grabbed her restless hand, and Xiao Zhen suddenly opened her eyes.
