After the bewildered Gu Nu, Long Xun (who already knew about the transmigrator), and the composed Chen Ziqi sat down, the three transmigrators exchanged information about their identities before transmigrating. Gu Nu was just an ordinary college student from a wealthy family, allowing her to do whatever she wanted in the game. At most, she was a skilled PvP player in JX3. Chen Ziqi was similar. Only Long Xun, whose true identity as the Dragon God was exposed by Gu Nu, was a figure that would terrify anyone who saw him.
As for the potential conflicts and hostility between time travelers...
Don't be ridiculous. Chen Ziqi, a perfectly fine modern girl, is already miserable enough that she's transmigrated into an assassin. She'd love for anyone who could help her escape that life, so she immediately offered her kindness. The Gu woman, on the other hand, felt she'd found a powerful ally. Plus, in the martial arts world, few could pose a threat to her, given her maxed-out system. Skilled and daring, she had no ill intentions. She was too busy sympathizing with Chen Ziqi's miserable experience to harbor any hostility.
They're not rivals in love.
In the end, would Long Xun really care about this? Haha, that's hilarious.
"I transmigrated to this world ten years ago. Now this body is eighteen years old, and I work as an assassin in the Dark Hall of the Western Rakshasa Cult." Chen Ziqi clearly rarely communicated with people. Her voice was dry, cold, and somewhat hoarse, calm and expressionless, revealing a kind of indifference and numbness.
"We agreed that after this job, I could retire, get married, and have children. I just didn't expect the last job to be so troublesome. We were chased for three months, but we still failed. You guys need to be careful. The Dark Hall might try to silence us." Chen Ziqi sighed. The Dark Hall would also send people to silence the assassins. She didn't mention this, only hoping that the two men would let her leave as soon as possible for the sake of being from the same hometown, so as not to implicate her two fellow villagers.
After so many years as an assassin, Chen Ziqi had almost lost all her modern characteristics, but that world was undeniably the warmest part of her life. The two strangers but familiar people in front of her also awakened one of the few moments of warmth in her assassin career. So this girl, unusually kind-hearted, decided to be a saint for once, not only revealing the secrets of the Dark Hall, but also thinking of risking her wretched life to help her fellow villager.
The Gu woman was startled, then decisively turned to look at Long Xun with starry eyes: "Great Dragon God! Please protect me and take me in!"
Long Xun ignored her, gently holding the milk tea in one hand and slowly stroking its fur with his thumb, only asking, "Who is that person?"
Chen Ziqi understood, shook his head, and asked, "Who was the most outstanding person in ancient society?"
Long Xun nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. The Gu woman stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly screamed, "That guy is the emperor?!"
Holy crap, are you kidding me?!
So, is a shameless, stupid man who confesses his feelings as soon as they meet someone, who has no redeeming qualities other than his good looks, and who seems to have a screw loose, the emperor?
...Well, that makes sense. An emperor who could utter an aria like "You were a beautiful woman, why did you become a traitor?" for the legendary swordsman Ye Gucheng in the original story must not be a very smart man.
Then the Gu woman's voice dropped eight octaves, calm and composed as if the woman who had just screamed in shock wasn't her at all. She then nodded in realization and said, "So it was the emperor. No wonder you said you would be silenced."
The Gu woman then asked in confusion, "But how could an emperor end up wandering the martial world and being hunted down by you?" As for those martial arts figures who are bored and want to rebel, isn't it just that their time to appear yet?
As Long Xun just mentioned, Shangguan Feiyan hasn't even appeared yet, and now the emperor is being chased like a dog. Isn't the plot a bit rushed?
Long Xun pondered the plot of that fan fiction, lost in thought.
No wonder Long Xun in the original novel saved the seriously injured Chen Ziqi; it must be because of this mission. Although it wasn't mentioned in the novel, the evolving world will automatically fill in the gaps in the plot... Long Xun in the original novel traveled to another time earlier than him and also connected with Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou as friends much earlier. After picking up Chen Ziqi along the way, the Dark Hall had to spare manpower to kill this traitor, which naturally reduced the crisis facing the emperor.
After the emperor was rescued, he simply did what he was supposed to do and waited for a rebellion to break out. Therefore, there was no need to point out this storyline in the novel.
Chen Ziqi shrugged: "Who knows? This emperor probably got bored and went out for a secret visit, and got spotted. You know how many people want to rebel against him. Once the news leaks, anyone could come to the Dark Hall to place an order. Anyway, I don't plan to continue after the mission failed."
The Gu woman, who showed no respect for the emperor, immediately praised Chen Ziqi for her good work and enthusiastically invited her to join the transmigrator team to progress through the story. Chen Ziqi politely declined due to the possibility of being hunted down later. The Gu woman, finally realizing that this girl didn't want to cause trouble for her fellow villagers, quickly demonstrated her skills and patted her chest, saying that she could definitely protect them, and if she couldn't, the Dragon God could...
After careful consideration, Chen Ziqi finally nodded in agreement. The time-traveling team that had met in the original story was now successfully formed, and the Gu Nu also extended a team invitation to her two companions.
As for friend invitations, there's no need. After the system mutated, everyone the Gu Nu knew was on her friend list, with varying degrees of favorability, but none of them met the standard for a sworn brotherhood. The one who moved her the most was Hua Manlou, whose initial favorability was 80, which was considered high among those she met in the Jianghu. The one who brought tears to her eyes the most was Long Xun, whose favorability towards her was... zero.
After the transmigrators confessed their feelings, Chen Ziqi, despite her seemingly cold demeanor, had already gained over 100 points in favorability.
After binding the three together using the system, the Gu woman took out several stacks of handkerchiefs and a pile of sworn brothers to distribute to her companions—there's no such thing as binding after transmigrating, otherwise the equipment wouldn't have been given to Long Xun, and besides, if she didn't rely on this to increase favorability, given the Dragon God's ruthlessness, she was absolutely certain that she would never be able to use sworn brothers with him in this lifetime—with a flick of her hand, a handkerchief turned into flower petals and fluttered down from above Long Xun's head, with pink hearts also emerging...
