Chapter 258 The Mute Boss 8 But immersed in the joy of not having to perform a solo act, Zi Xi was completely unaware of Gu Hong's unhappiness.
They were overjoyed and quickly brought Lin Le into the group.
Thus, an extremely bizarre three-person team was formed.
In the dungeon, the cold-faced swordsman Gu Hong walked at the forefront without saying a word, instantly killing any monsters he encountered with a single sword strike, moving at lightning speed.
The young musician Xi Yan followed behind him, wanting to strike up a conversation but too shy to do so, so she could only occasionally complain to the doctor next to her.
Doctor Le Tian looked at the moving iceberg in front of him, who was clearly in a bad mood.
He glanced at Zi Xi beside him, who seemed completely oblivious and was even muttering to him about how the big boss seemed unusually fierce today, and gave her a knowing smile.
This is clearly a lone goose unknowingly spewing sourness.
So, does this Gu Hong like Xi Xi?
I'm not sure, I'll observe further.
Ling Chen, who was walking at the front, felt an inexplicable unease in his heart, and this unease seemed to intensify when he saw the IDs of the three people in the team list.
*
Ever since the ID "εΎεζ" (Qingchengyue) made a high-profile appearance in "Jianghu Dream," the world chat channel has been buzzing with activity.
It's either all sorts of flaunting wealth and asking to be taken along, or it's unabashedly expressing affection for Gu Hong, flooding the screen several times a day.
In the chat channel of the "Salted Fish Concentration Camp" (a community for casual online users), onlookers were also discussing the matter extensively.
Gu Hong, who was helping Zi Xi farm materials, paused almost imperceptibly when he saw the discussion in the guild.
Gu Hong typed in the guild chat: "Don't know me, it's noisy."
Zi Xi obediently shut up, but her gossip spirit was still burning brightly, so she went to chat with Ling Wei privately.
However, Qingcheng Yue's offensive extends far beyond the world channel.
She spent money to obtain Gu Hong's daily route and began to encounter him in various places.
While Gu Hong was AFK farming in the Sword Tomb, Qingcheng Yue happened to pass by and arrogantly tossed a top-tier swordsman's bracer in front of him.
Or it could be that Gu Hong is sparring in the arena, and after he wins, Qingcheng Yue immediately sends out server-wide announcements to praise him.
Each time, Gu Hong's reaction was a clean and decisive ignoring.
But this complete disregard did not deter Qingcheng Yue; instead, it fueled her even stronger desire to conquer.
She started to escalate her actions, even sending couple photos in public, though Gu Hong rejected her every time.
Zi Xi saw all of this and would gossip with the gang members from time to time, her tone full of excitement as she enjoyed watching the drama unfold.
"Wow, this is a rare mount, the big shot didn't even glance at it..."
"Pfft, she tried to curry favor with the big shot, but she missed her target. It's hilarious!"
"Honestly, with Qingcheng Yue's perseverance, she'll succeed at anything."
Zi Xi was simply treating this as a game for fun, completely unaware that the air pressure around her was getting lower and lower.
Finally, after Qingchengyue tried to forcefully follow Guhong on a mission and was mercilessly sent back to the respawn point with a single sword strike, the world channel was quiet for a few minutes.
Gu Hong stood still, clad in black robes and wielding a black sword, silent as a mountain.
He suddenly opened the private chat input with Xi Yan.
Gu Hong typed: "So, what about you? Do you think it would be good to marry me?"
Zi Xi, who was drinking water and watching the commotion, almost spat her water out of the screen when she saw this line of text.
She frantically wiped it clean, her heart pounding wildly.
Is he proposing to her so directly?
Reality or a game?
Zi Xi typed a reply.
"Huh??? Did your account get hacked, bro? I'm still young, I don't want to get married, and I really don't think I'd ever covet you!"
On the other side of the screen, Ling Chen's eyes darkened as he looked at the sentence, "I'm too young to get married."
He realized he had been abrupt and tried to make amends by offering a seemingly reasonable excuse.
Gu Hong typed: "Of course, in the game. I don't want to be harassed all the time."
So that's how it is; Gu Hong was looking for a scapegoat.
