Chapter 22 Academic Discussion

What does it mean by utter silence? The Little Thunder Tavern at this moment was the very definition; the most common way to describe it was "so quiet you could hear a pin drop."

Everyone was speechless, staring dumbly at Gu Fei.

"Dual Fire Flash" was one of the least used spells by mages. Less usage led to lower proficiency, and in the hands of many mages, the damage of this skill was minimal. Not only did mages know this, but most players were also aware. But now, Gu Fei had used the "Dual Fire Flash," which everyone considered to have the lowest power, to kill a knight.

Two "Dual Fire Flashes" to eliminate one person; the players already felt it was terrifying spell damage. Little did they know that if Silver Moon didn't have higher magic defense, ordinary players couldn't withstand even one "Dual Fire Flash" from Gu Fei. The power of Gu Fei's "Dual Fire Flash" was much more terrible than what these people had just seen and thought.

However, in the eyes of discerning people, these two "Dual Fire Flashes" were even more surprising than the Instant Movement Gu Fei had just cast. Instant Movement was just an ordinary skill; someone having it now was just a coincidence of getting a skill scroll. Although it wasn't easy, this skill didn't have any terrifying lethality, so it wasn't a big deal. But these two Dual Fire Flashes proved that Gu Fei was indeed a mage with terrifying spell damage.

Whether Gu Fei knew You Ge and the others or not, whether he came here for a real wanted mission or to cause trouble intentionally, these questions were all unimportant at the moment. Those guild leaders who didn't get a chance to talk to Piaoliu had already consciously begun to try to get close to Gu Fei.

It had to be said that Piaoliu's reputation was indeed big, but no one present really knew how strong his magic was. Small and medium-sized guilds didn't dare to think too much about someone like him. Even if large guilds invited him, the effect brought by such a famous figure as him was difficult to predict, and he might even become the tail wagging the dog. In comparison, wise people were more willing to discover potential stars like Gu Fei and cultivate them themselves.

Everyone had just had this thought. Gu Fei, who had solved Silver Moon, felt that there was nothing for him to do here, and suddenly turned around and ran out of the tavern.

"Hey, brother, wait a minute!" Several guild leaders had already quickly chased out the door. These were the ones who were quicker to seize the opportunity and had completely given up on Piaoliu. At the same time, there were also some who hesitated slightly, thinking about it before chasing out. But before long, everyone who chased out returned dejectedly.

"Who exactly is this person?" Everyone discussed.

"I think he's very fast; his Agility is probably quite high," someone said.

"I identified his equipment before; I couldn't see his clothes and sword, but the rest was quite ordinary."

"His clothes and sword must be strange; his high magic damage probably comes from these two items." After all, guild leaders still had some knowledge and judgment.

"Wait, since he has high magic damage, how do you explain the Fire Tree Thousand Heavy Flames just now?" Someone raised a new question.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people still trying to get close to Piaoliu in the Little Thunder Tavern was in the minority. The vast majority of people were holding an academic discussion on Gu Fei's issue. Han Jia Gongzi quickly took this opportunity to send private messages to You Ge and the others: "We can slip away now!"

You Ge completely agreed with this decision. Zhan Wu Shang, who was right by the door, slipped out very smoothly. No one noticed Yu Tian Shen Ming either, and no one noticed when he spat twice in the direction of Piaoliu before leaving. But when Han Jia Gongzi and You Ge wanted to sneak away one after the other, they immediately attracted the attention of several people.

"Hey, please wait a moment," someone shouted. Everyone's eyes followed the sound.

Han Jia Gongzi smiled. "There's nothing for us to do anymore. Everyone, have a good chat with Master Piaoliu!"

"Wait!" Several guild leaders jumped out, blocking the two's path.

"We still want to ask you two about that mage!"

"We don't know that person," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Hey, don't treat everyone like kids. Do you really think we believe you don't know each other?" The content of the academic discussion about Gu Fei was very detailed, and it analyzed every detail of Gu Fei's actions from the moment he appeared in the tavern to his departure. Obviously, Gu Fei's exchange with You Ge and his group after entering the door was very obvious. Before, everyone was focused on the instant-kill mage, not Gu Fei, so whether Gu Fei knew You Ge and the others was not the point at all, so no one cared too much whether Han Jia Gongzi was telling the truth or not. But at this moment, Gu Fei's strength was exposed, and he had run away, so those who were paying attention to him would naturally not let go of all this easily.

The scene was once again somewhat out of control. You Ge wore a helpless smile on his face, explaining to everyone with difficulty. Han Jia Gongzi, on the other hand, remained silent, watching coldly. He noticed that this group of guild leaders was eager to find out information about Gu Fei, but there were two people among them who were sarcastic and said a few words from time to time, basically all criticizing Han Jia Gongzi and the others.

These two were none other than the two companions who had come with Silver Moon. Han Jia Gongzi secretly cried out that things were bad. Could it be that Silver Moon deliberately lured Gu Fei to attack him, using his own sacrifice to exchange for the exposure of Gu Fei's strength? Then, naturally, it would trigger the current scene. This scene was obviously what he wanted to create from the beginning, but he didn't expect that it would actually be realized by him at this time. This guy is really persistent!

Han Jia Gongzi always thought deeply about Silver Moon, and this was true. This time was no exception. In the end, Han Jia Gongzi didn't fully understand Silver Moon's character.

Sacrificing oneself to achieve a goal? Silver Moon was definitely not this kind of person, even in the game.

However, apart from this, Han Jia Gongzi's judgment was completely accurate. At this time, Silver Moon was indeed indispensable to the chaos of the scene.

He, who had been reborn at the resurrection point, was cursing Gu Fei's ancestors for the loss. Suddenly, he received a live broadcast of the situation from his two companions who were still in the Little Thunder Tavern. He immediately realized that his death was a lucky coincidence. Gu Fei's strength was exposed, causing many bosses to shift their attention back to Gu Fei and You Ge's group. This was another opportunity not to be missed. This was something he had exchanged with his sacrifice. Silver Moon gritted his teeth and quickly instructed his two companions to spare no effort to carry out the provocation to the end.

"Remember, don't try to tempt them to reveal information about Qian Li Yi Zui. Only when one side is eager to know, and the other side refuses to say anything, can conflicts be intensified. What you have to do is to emphasize some of Qian Li Yi Zui's unreasonable behaviors, as well as some of the lies of that gang. The most successful situation is to make those guild leaders feel that this is a designed scam!" Silver Moon instructed.

The two followed Silver Moon's guidance. They actively participated in the academic discussion at the time, fanning the flames and laying down many foreshadowings. Now that everyone was surrounding Han Jia Gongzi and asking for information about Gu Fei, these two, as Han Jia Gongzi had seen, sarcastically said some barbed words from the side, igniting the doubts in everyone's hearts, gradually guiding the guild leaders. In the end, the requests made by this group of guild leaders were actually to have Gu Fei return immediately, meet everyone, and give an explanation together.

"The more excessive the requests they make, the better. It's best if You Ge and Han Jia Gongzi can't do it at all. Only in this way will the conflict become completely irreconcilable. Only then will my death not be in vain," This was the guidance Silver Moon offered.

"Success!" At this time, his accomplice excitedly reported to Silver Moon: "They are asking You Ge and the others to immediately call Qian Li Yi Zui back to explain things in person. I don't think they can do this."

"That's right. There seems to be some conflict between them. That Qian Li, his appearance just now was probably really to cause trouble. He seems to have a lot of opinions about You Ge and their money-making plan. I don't know what they're up to, but it's good to be able to do this. Next, we just have to watch the show!" Silver Moon was proud. The mood of being killed and losing a level had improved a lot because of this.

"What about that mage? Call him back quickly. Don't give me that 'we don't know him' nonsense. Who are you trying to fool!" The guild leaders were pointing at You Ge and Han Jia Gongzi, almost forcing them into a corner.

The "we don't know him" argument could no longer be used. To stubbornly insist on this obvious lie would be courting death. And the request made by everyone to "call the mage over" was indeed something that You Ge and the others couldn't do at the moment, because Gu Fei's private chat was still not open.

You Ge was at a loss, sweating profusely. Han Jia Gongzi, who was beside him, seemed too lazy to argue with so many people. Apart from saying a few words to the people blocking his way when he first prepared to leave, he hadn't said a word since then, his eyes flashing, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Are you going to call him or not? Don't think we don't know. That mage was supposed to be introduced to us by you. You just happened to see Brother Piaoliu and decided to cling to him at the last minute. What's wrong, do you want to hide that guy and find another time to make a fortune?" Han Jia Gongzi's temporary plan to drag Piaoliu down had too many loopholes. In addition, the other party had Silver Moon, who knew the inside story, to hint and instigate from behind, so many people present saw through this little trick. The development of the matter took another step forward as Silver Moon had hoped: everyone was going to treat this scene as a scam.

If one person was cheated of 100 gold coins, they might just curse a few times in their hearts and let it go, too lazy to make a big fuss.

But at this time, everyone who had been cheated of 100 gold coins was gathered together. Everyone was connected heart to heart, encouraging and motivating each other, and they might form a temporary alliance to combat criminals.

"What should we do?" You Ge saw that Han Jia Gongzi hadn't said anything and sent him a private message directly.

"Don't worry, someone will stand up and speak," Han Jia Gongzi was really not flustered.

"Who?" You Ge asked while looking around at the crowd.

"They're making a fuss about Qian Li's information. It's obvious that they want to poach him. Think about it, who is this going against?" Han Jia Gongzi replied to You Ge.

"Oh..." You Ge suddenly understood, turned his gaze, and looked at a relatively calm place in the tavern. The girls from Rebirth Crystal were sitting there quietly.
