Chapter 1 What Exactly Happened?

"Qingxue, what exactly happened?" Zhao Yueru understood Bai Qingxue very well.

Seeing Bai Qingxue's icy expression, she knew that Bai Qingxue was very angry right now.

However, Bai Qingxue was always calm and never angered easily, but now, she was so furious just from reading a message, so something big must have happened.

Not to mention Zhao Yueru feeling that something was wrong, even Shi Feng, who wasn't familiar with Bai Qingxue, could sense it. However, he didn't want to ask, as he was just an outsider.

After reading the message she received, Bai Qingxue was first angry, then looked somewhat haggard. Shi Feng could tell that after hearing Zhao Yueru's words, Bai Qingxue wanted to speak, but didn't know how.

Of ten things in life, eight or nine are unsatisfactory, and only two or three can be shared.

Bai Qingxue just smiled faintly and sent the received message to Zhao Yueru.

"Ling She, that ungrateful, opportunistic bastard, a beast worse than animals! We took care of him when he was at his lowest, providing him with a lot of resources, allowing him to become one of the twelve apostles of the Serpent Guild, and now he has become someone else's lackey. Next time this young lady sees him, I will break his three legs!" Zhao Yueru cursed loudly after reading it.

"Sister Yueru, could it be a misunderstanding? How could Ling She betray us? He was promoted and taught by Sister Bai herself, and you could say she's like a blood-related sister to him. How could he betray us?" The cool young man, Xiong She, said in surprise after hearing Zhao Yueru's words.

Ling She was usually the most likable in front of Bai Qingxue, and he was very honest and earnest in his work. He also looked very simple and honest, not like someone who could do such a thing.

"Even if you don't believe it, take a look at this evidence yourself." Zhao Yueru directly made the information visible so that everyone could see it.

In the message, a lot of evidence showed that Ling She had been bought off before Bai Qingxue started her plan, and he kept telling those people Bai Qingxue's information so that those people could be prepared. Just an hour ago, Ling She had become one of the opponent's five duelists, which could be said to be irrefutable evidence.

Xiong She was also speechless, his eyes turning blood red as he frantically tried to contact Ling She, but he couldn't reach him no matter what, making him eager to rush over and question him right now.

However, compared to Xiong She's heartache, Bai Qingxue was the one who was hurt the most.

Ling She, whom she had always treated like a younger brother, actually stabbed her in the back at the most critical moment, and it was the most fatal one.

In the five-person duel, Bai Qingxue had estimated the opponent's strength, and she felt that the highest chances of winning were herself, Ling She, and Ye Feng. As for Zhao Yueru and Xiong She, their chances of winning were probably less than half. Now that Ling She had gone to the other side, the balance had shifted, immediately putting them at a disadvantage.

"Qingxue, don't worry. Even if Ling She has defected, we still have several other executors." Zhao Yueru quickly comforted her, "Their strength has improved a lot recently, so it's not like there's no chance. I'll contact them right away and have them rush over here immediately."

Bai Qingxue shook her head.

Since Ling She had betrayed her long ago, the other side probably knew about her trump cards except for Ye Feng. She was afraid that they wouldn't be able to come over now. For now, she could only find someone to replace him at random, and the rest would depend on luck.

She wasn't at her wit's end yet, and it was still possible to defeat the other side as long as Zhao Yueru and Xiong She could win one match.

At this time, Bai Qingxue was very glad that she hadn't revealed Ye Feng's matter, so that the current situation wouldn't become a dead end.

Shi Feng, who was on the side, didn't know why, but he thought of Bai Qingxue leaving the Serpent Guild and no longer setting foot in the virtual gaming world.

Back then, the departure of the Ice Goddess Bai Qingxue caused a sensation in the entire virtual gaming world, and almost everyone knew about it.

However, no one knew what was going on at the time, what exactly happened that led to Bai Qingxue's departure, and she didn't even set foot in the virtual gaming world anymore.

Thinking about it now, Shi Feng realized that it was likely due to internal conflicts within the Serpent Guild that led to Bai Qingxue finally leaving the Serpent Guild.

And now, seeing this situation, it seemed that what should have happened two years later had happened now.

"What exactly is going on?"

Shi Feng didn't originally want to compete for the first clear of the Land of Dormancy because he was worried about changing too much history, which would make it difficult for him to control. As a result, history was like a butterfly effect, and it was rapidly developing in a very bad direction.

If Bai Qingxue left the virtual gaming world at this time, it would undoubtedly mean that Zero Wing would lose a reliable ally, and other guilds could be even more unscrupulous.

This was not what Shi Feng wanted to see.

Since history had completely developed out of control, Shi Feng didn't plan to suppress it any further. He might as well break it even more thoroughly so that he could open up a better path for the future.

Just as Bai Qingxue was preparing to find a fifth person at random and Zhao Yueru was frantically contacting people, Shi Feng suddenly walked over.

"Miss Bai, if you need to find a master, I can recommend one to you," Shi Feng said.

Bai Qingxue's eyes lit up when she heard this.

However, Zhao Yueru rolled her eyes at Shi Feng and said, "Night Breeze, don't mess around. The masters we need now are not ordinary masters, but great masters who can take on a hundred people, but they can't be too famous. It's best if they are reclusive masters. Shui Se Rose and Fire Dance of your Zero Wing Guild are strong enough, but such external help is too famous. The opponent will definitely not be willing if they know their strength."

This time, the competition between the two sides was entirely an internal matter of the Serpent Guild, so the two sides had already agreed to keep it secret. They could ask for external help, but there was one condition: they couldn't be well-known masters, so as not to attract outside attention.

Of course, attracting outside attention was just a lie.

In fact, the other side didn't want Bai Qingxue to invite too strong of an external helper. Bai Qingxue didn't have enough foundation in the Serpent Guild. If the two sides competed in the internal strength of the Serpent Guild, it would be overwhelmingly disadvantageous for Bai Qingxue.

As for Shui Se Rose, who was as famous as Bai Qingxue, and Fire Dance, who was now a first-rate assassin master in the Zero Wing Guild, the other side would definitely not agree unless they were stupid.

As for the president of the Zero Wing Guild, Black Flame, unless the other side was crazy and wanted to admit defeat.

Shi Feng also rolled his eyes at Zhao Yueru and said with a smile, "The one I want to recommend is definitely not someone that everyone is familiar with. As for how strong he is now, I don't know, but not long ago, his strength ranking in the Zero Wing Guild was about the same as Shui Se Rose and Fire Dance."

Hearing what Shi Feng said, Zhao Yueru couldn't think of anyone no matter how hard she tried.

However, seeing Shi Feng's expression, he didn't seem to be lying, which made her a little depressed.

Bai Qingxue was also very curious when she heard this. She knew a lot about Zero Wing, but she didn't expect Zero Wing to have such a hidden master. This Zero Wing was really making it more and more difficult for her to see through.

"Then I'll have to trouble you. As for the reward, I'll pay you 20 million as well. Is that okay?" Bai Qingxue looked at Shi Feng and thanked him very much.

"Since Miss Bai has no problem, I'll contact him now." Shi Feng nodded and opened the system bar.
