"Brother, you probably don't know, they aren't playing truth or dare..."
Someone in the crowd pulled the berserk warrior back into the throng.
"Oh? What is it then?" the berserk warrior asked, going along with it.
"Heh heh... I saw the whole thing. I initially thought he was a hidden NPC, but it turned out to be that guy Jian Zhi Cang Tian in disguise."
The person chuckled lewdly. As he said this, his voice was quite loud, and Yi Zhi Rou Rou, who was being watched by the crowd, naturally heard it.
His footsteps immediately stopped.
"Damn, aren't they messing with me? Look at how tired that sorcerer is, why didn't you guys go tell him?" the berserk warrior's honest voice boomed.
"Tch... Didn't you see so many core members of the Ni Shen Meng guild, including their leader, watching like it was a circus?"
"Exactly, we're just here to watch the monkeys. Yi Zhi Rou Rou is really a dumbass."
"Mainly, I want to see how many more steps he can take."
Suddenly, numerous people in the crowd burst into laughter. They could no longer hold back, and various discussions erupted.
"Xiao Tian, I think we've really gone too far," Gao Kai's face changed dramatically as he heard the crowd's chatter.
If it were just among the few of them internally, playing around. Even if Rou Rou found out later, he wouldn't be truly angry. At most, he'd find some harmless way to annoy Zhao Lei later. Of course, that kind of annoyance was strictly between brothers. But now... with so many people watching and gossiping.
*Bang...*
Just as Gao Kai finished speaking, Yi Zhi Rou Rou forcefully pushed the wine barrel behind him aside. It was as if this action had cost him a lot of energy. He leaned forward, hands on his knees, and turned to look at Zhao Lei, who had fallen with the barrel.
"Rou Rou, listen to me, I was just joking." Zhao Lei then reached into his pocket and pulled down his face covering.
Yi Zhi Rou Rou stared at him for a moment. He slowly stood up, as if he had recovered a bit. He pointed at Zhao Lei, wanting to say something, but paused. His finger trembled, and finally, he nodded heavily at Zhao Lei three times. Then he lowered his arm...
He then shifted his gaze to Chu Tian and the others.
"De Shen? Heh heh... It seems, just as everyone said, you guys never considered me a brother. You're all in this together, and I'm the only outsider, right? Since you're all together and forming cliques, why drag me along? Do you have your eyes on my hidden class potential? Heh heh... Forget it, I'm done playing with you all! You gang up to trick me, you think I'm an idiot? I'm out!" Yi Zhi Rou Rou exclaimed, unleashing all these words at Chu Tian and the others in one breath. His roar was filled with immense anger.
At the same time, he grabbed the Ni Shen Meng guild emblem on his chest and threw it forcefully onto the ground, stepping on it. He crushed it completely...
[Ding... System Notification: Guild Title 'Elder' of 'Yi Zhi Rou Rou' has been revoked!]
At that very moment, Yi Zhi Rou Rou, standing before Chu Tian, saw his magnificent mage robes, staff, and all other equipment vanish instantly. The once radiant him, in the blink of an eye... his gear became tattered and worn, like a beggar. He hadn't hidden his character name, and at this moment, his guild name above his head disappeared...
"Rou Rou..."
Zhao Lei, Jing Kai Yu, Gao Kai, and others rushed forward, attempting to dissuade him... The three of them stopped Yi Zhi Rou Rou from leaving, creating a tug-of-war.
"Boss, say something! You can punish me too, just don't let Rou Rou leave," Zhao Lei pleaded with Chu Tian, seeing that he couldn't stop Yi Zhi Rou Rou.
"It was just a small joke, it's not that serious, is it? I think people always want to move up in the world... perhaps someone offered you a better deal?" Chu Tian said, looking down and fiddling with his fingers. He didn't even look at Yi Zhi Rou Rou as his calm voice emerged.
His words caused everyone to freeze. Including the three holding Yi Zhi Rou Rou, and Yi Zhi Rou Rou himself. Everyone looked at Chu Tian with disbelief. Even Luo Luo wore a look of surprise.
"So, that's how you really think of me. Heh heh... Fine, I was blind!" Yi Zhi Rou Rou, after a brief moment of stunned silence, seemed to be amused to the point of anger. He roughly shook off Zhao Lei's arm.
The onlookers in the outer circle saw Yi Zhi Rou Rou approaching and all stepped back, clearing a path for him.
"Brother..." Luo Luo tugged at Chu Tian.
However, Chu Tian remained silent... He stared in the direction Yi Zhi Rou Rou was leaving with a sinister gaze. All the surrounding onlookers naturally noticed Chu Tian's gaze.
"Send him back to the新手村 (newbie village)," Chu Tian said softly. His voice was low, but besides Gao Kai and a few others, the nearby onlookers vaguely heard it. Everyone who heard this sentence, including Zhao Lei and Luo Luo... felt a jolt in their hearts.
After saying this, Chu Tian turned and walked towards the teleportation array. Gao Kai and the others exchanged glances. After a pause, they still followed. Entering the teleportation array, Chu Tian directly activated the team teleportation. With a flash of light, when everyone recovered, they found themselves in an unfamiliar place. The surroundings were just like the center of Sheng Jing City, with many people. However, the ground within this city actually had some accumulated snow.
"This is... Hei Tu City?" someone uttered.
Chu Tian still did not speak. He directly led the way. Everyone knew that Chu Tian was not in a good mood, especially since Yi Zhi Rou Rou had been with them since the start of Tian Dao World. His sudden departure must have affected Chu Tian. And Chu Tian's earlier remark about people always wanting to move up in the world was laden with deep meaning. They all trusted Chu Tian and naturally believed in his character. He wouldn't have said it publicly without evidence. Furthermore, he showed no inclination to stop Yi Zhi Rou Rou. Could it be that Rou Rou was truly overreacting? Using this opportunity to openly leave Ni Shen Meng, so he could leave without guilt, having already found a new home and preparing to forge a new path? From what they knew, Rou Rou wasn't the type to do such things.
Chu Tian went around and arrived at a bar. He pushed open the door and entered. Then, he skillfully found a private room.
*Knock, knock, knock...*
He knocked three times. After a moment, the door was opened a crack. Chu Tian sidestepped and squeezed inside. Gao Kai and the others exchanged glances and followed. The first thing they saw was a woman in tight-fitting attire. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had an extraordinary aura. She looked like a rogue. As she saw Chu Tian and the others enter, she was about to speak. Chu Tian raised his hand and interrupted her directly, his expression changing.
"Don't speak, has he arrived?" Chu Tian asked directly. The female rogue's face darkened, but she truly remained silent and nodded. Seeing this, Chu Tian led the group towards the private room inside.
"What the hell, it's you?" Zhao Lei shouted as they entered the private room. Everyone froze. Inside the room, a man was holding a chicken leg, stuffing it into his hood... making slurping sounds. This man was the berserk warrior who had suddenly appeared on the street in Sheng Jing City earlier. It was he who had fanned the flames.
