"If I said it’s to help you, would you believe ?"
Dongfang Jing looked calmly at the enigmatic Feng Hua, who was almost deified by Hua Country’s players.
Lin Yi locked eyes with her, wanting to sneer or even walk away.
But for so reason, Lin Yi didn’t find a trace of mockery in her eyes, only a calm and serene composure.
A strong curiosity compelled Lin Yi to stay.
Suddenly, a stranger claiming to help him seed utterly ridiculous and farcical.
Yet, inexplicably, Lin Yi found himself subconsciously believing her words by half.
However, Lin Yi was still very curious:
"You said you’re here to help , so I want to know how you plan to help ? Or what do you want to help with?"
Just then, she uttered an earth-shattering sentence, which caused Lin Yi to feel a fleeting murderous intent.
Dongfang Jing looked calmly at this first player in the ga:
"I know you co from three years in the future."
A playful smile appeared on Dongfang Jing’s face:
"Is this enough?"
With her words, a chill engulfed Lin Yi.
This was his deepest secret, never expected to be revealed by this unfamiliar woman.
This secret not even Zhang Xinying ntioned, Lin Yi couldn’t fathom how this woman knew.
If this weren’t within a ga, Lin Yi would have had the urge to kill her to silence her.
For Lin Yi, his current achievents were due to the advantage of his reincarnation.
If it weren’t for reincarnation, Lin Yi would just be an ordinary person struggling for survival.
This deep secret in Lin Yi’s heart was sothing he subconsciously didn’t want anyone to know.
Especially not an unfamiliar stranger.
However, the murderous intent was just a fleeting mont, and Lin Yi quickly composed himself and looked at her:
"Who are you?"
Seeing her expression, denial had completely lost its aning.
Lin Yi didn’t want to go back and forth on this question.
Now, Lin Yi was more curious about who she truly was;
Why she knew these things;
And what her true intentions were in seeking him out.
Seeing her approach him just after leaving the Newbie Village, Lin Yi had reason to believe that at least for now, she harbored no malicious intent towards him.
Dongfang Jing smiled slightly:
"You’ll know who I am in the future. For now, just trust that I won’t harm you."
Once again, it was such ambiguous rhetoric. Lin Yi frowned and asked:
"So, is your purpose solely to help ?"
"Of course not."
Dongfang Jing remained calm:
"I want you to help recover..."
......
Just past 7:50 in the morning.
The sky over Black Tortoise City remained perpetually gloomy.
Every ti he ca to Black Tortoise City, his mood involuntarily turned oppressive, greatly due to the city’s endlessly sunless weather.
As ti passed, Black Tortoise City gradually beca bustling, with players moving about alone or in groups.
So laughed, so frowned, and so were expressionless.
Atop the city walls
Dongfang Jing suddenly spoke next to Lin Yi.
"Actually, long, long ago, the city was prosperous as you see now, but such a sight can never be seen again."
Lin Yi looked at the girl beside him, sotis childish, sotis mature, and asked out of curiosity:
"Which one is really you?"
Dongfang Jing turned to Lin Yi, showing a daughter’s deanor and said:
"Does it matter?"
Looking at the girl in her girlish appearance, Lin Yi shook his head and said:
"Indeed, it doesn’t matter."
Dongfang Jing smiled slightly:
"One day you will know."
"Boss, morning!"
Just then, Tian Ci walked up to the city wall and waved to Lin Yi.
"You better not tell anyone about my affairs. From now on, I’m your sister."
Lin Yi couldn’t help but widen his eyes:
"What?"
"Sister? Whoa!"
Unbeknownst to Lin Yi, Tian Ci had co close, giving Lin Yi a hard pat on the shoulder:
"Boss, you’re not being fair! You had such a beautiful sister and never ntioned it."
Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile wryly:
"It’s not what you think..."
By this ti, Tian Ci had already set Lin Yi aside, extending his hand eagerly towards Dongfang Jing for a self-introduction:
"Hello beautiful, my na is Ouyang Hao, though you can also call Divine Thief Tian Ci."
"I’m your brother’s most loyal buddy!"
Watching the amusing Tian Ci, Dongfang Jing graciously extended her hand with a sweet smile:
"Hello, you can call Xiaojing."
"Xiaojing? Nice na!"
Though they only exchanged a light friendly handshake, Tian Ci looked intoxicated as if he had drunk wine:
"If you ever need anything, just call . I’ll back you up. Let’s see who dares to bully you."
As he spoke, he beat his chest with a "bang, bang" sound.
Seeing this, Lin Yi was at a loss and said:
"Are you planning to abandon your Xiaoxue?"
Hearing this, Tian Ci imdiately beca righteously indignant:
"No way!"
"My sincere feelings for Xiaoxue can be witnessed by heaven and earth."
After saying this, his tone softened:
"I’m like this because she’s your little sister, boss, hehe~"
"As your closest buddy, looking after little Jing is naturally part of my responsibility too."
Lin Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him:
"That’s enough, don’t overdo it."
As they were talking, Red Eyes had already pulled Wang Zixin over:
"Morning, Boss Feng."
"Morning, Brother Feng!"
It was then that Red Eyes noticed Dongfang Jing next to Tian Ci and couldn’t help but pause:
"Who’s this?"
Before Lin Yi could speak, Dongfang Jing took the lead to introduce herself:
"He’s my brother, you can call Xiaojing."
Seeing Dongfang Jing’s delicate, outstretched hand, Red Eyes blushed and stuttered a bit:
"H-Hel-Hello."
Wang Zixin, seeing her brother’s reaction, rolled her eyes and said loudly:
"My brother is still single, you know."
As soon as she said this, everyone was taken aback.
Quick as a whip, Red Eyes covered Wang Zixin’s mouth:
"What are you saying?"
It was only then that Lin Yi reacted and couldn’t help but burst into laughter:
"I didn’t expect the little girl to already be worrying about her brother."
"Mmph mmph~"
Wang Zixin broke free of Red Eyes’ hand and cheerfully ran over to Dongfang Jing, exclaiming:
"Sister, you’re so beautiful."
Amused by Wang Zixin’s cute deanor, Dongfang Jing squatted down and pinched her cheek with a smile, saying:
"You’ll definitely be a beauty when you grow up, little sister."
Perhaps because her back was turned to everyone, nobody noticed the flash of surprise in Dongfang Jing’s eyes when she saw Wang Zixin’s pupils.
Watching the playful exchanges between the two, the others joined in, laughing.
Not long after, Zhang Xinying and a group including the silent Zhan Chen arrived.
Everyone was a bit shocked at Lin Yi’s sudden appearance of a sister.
Among them, Zhang Xinying was probably the most surprised.
Because ever since Zhang Xinying had known Lin Yi, she’d never heard him ntion he had a sister?
Noticing soone’s odd expression, Lin Yi quickly pulled Zhang Xinying aside to explain.
But before Lin Yi could speak, Zhang Xinying asked first:
"Is she your sister?"
Lin Yi answered truthfully:
"No."
Zhang Xinying asked again:
"Then what’s your relationship with her?"
Lin Yi replied:
"We just t today, but due to so things I can’t explain now, I have to use this identity to throw people off."
Just when Lin Yi was determined to tell Zhang Xinying the truth, Zhang Xinying suddenly nodded and said:
"Hmm, I understand."
Seeing Zhang Xinying about to leave, Lin Yi instinctively asked:
"You’re not angry?"
Zhang Xinying, puzzled:
"Why would I be angry?"
Lin Yi was taken aback:
"Could it be you just believe what I say like that? You don’t doubt I’m lying to you?"
Zhang Xinying rolled her eyes at him:
"Boring."
After saying this, she turned and left.
Watching Zhang Xinying’s back, Lin Yi also started to smile.
This kind of unconditional trust is really heartwarming.
Zhang Xinying walked straight to Dongfang Jing, offering her hand proactively:
"Hi, I’m Bunny, it’s nice to have you join us."
Dongfang Jing:
"Sa here, it’s an honor to be one of you."
Shuai Diazha popped his head in from the side:
"We’re all on the sa team now, no need to be so formal."
"Right?"
That said, Shuai Diazha hadn’t taken his eyes off Dongfang Jing since the beginning:
Just then, Lin Yi suddenly spoke up:
"Alright, everyone settle down."
When Lin Yi spoke, everyone turned their attention to him.
Lin Yi said:
"Okay, enough joking around, ti to get to work."
Everyone perked up imdiately, and Tian Ci asked:
"What are we doing today?"
Lin Yi teased:
"I’m not sure yet myself, you’ll find out when we get there."
Having said that, Lin Yi led the way down the city wall:
"Let’s go, ti to set off."
