"So you like gossip, right... Then why ask about this gossip now... Can't you just add me as a friend after we finish?" Leng Binglan asked, exasperated, but Shuang retorted, "I can't guarantee I'll be able to add you as a friend after we finish, so it's safer to ask now." As she spoke, Shuang took a few steps forward seemingly unintentionally. Perhaps it was too natural, because Leng Binglan didn't notice the few steps Shuang took.

"Huh? Why are you asking these questions? Why do you care about these things..." Leng Binglan asked in confusion.

"He's taken the bait..." Shuang thought, then blurted out, "Oh, Jihan is my boyfriend, so naturally I feel uncomfortable seeing another woman with him..."

"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, Leng Binglan stared wide-eyed at Shuang in disbelief, her mind almost completely blank. "But...but he never told me..."

"Maybe he just wants to play with you," Shuang said, a mocking expression on her face. "Sigh... how pathetic..."

"How could this be..." Leng Binglan muttered in disbelief. Seeing that the time was right, Shuang flashed behind Leng Binglan and unleashed a seamless combo, instantly killing the unsuspecting Leng Binglan. Only a moment before Leng Binglan was killed did she realize that she had fallen into a trap...

And just like that, she lost the match in an embarrassing, frustrating, and utterly humiliating way...

-

"Ah... the Desolate Dragon has emerged." Shuang said in distress, looking at the Desolate Dragon that had already emerged from the space-time rift. With her strength, she was probably not enough to kill the Desolate Dragon, nor could she last for more than a minute after the Desolate Dragon's duration. To be honest, she might not even be able to win against Leng Binglan. She was not the kind of player who could fight head-on. She was more suited to a team. But even so, she could still make it into the top fifty of the God Ranking, which showed that she was not weak in one-on-one combat, but she definitely could not beat Leng Binglan.

"Hmph, you schemed against me last time, I won't give you another chance this time!" Leng Binglan snorted coldly. At the same time, the three dragon spirits also appeared in the arena. "Hmm... what should we do..." Shuang looked at the scene in front of her. She guessed that verbal interference might not be very effective against Leng Binglan, but she still had to try.

"Hey, Blue Moon, do you know something?"

"What?! Are you trying to verbally harass me again?!"

“I’m pregnant with Jihan’s child, in reality.” As Shuang spoke, a blush appeared on her face. “I can’t forget the first time we fought together at Wushan, his bravery…”

"Aaaaaah! You're lying! My brother would never do something like that!!!"

"Tch, so they're siblings? They seem pretty close, like they haven't had any conflicts. Looks like I can't keep up this lie, but... I can still try." Shuang thought, and continued her fabrication: "Hey? Well, I'm your sister-in-law! How can you be so disrespectful to your sister-in-law? Come on, call me sister-in-law..."

"I won't listen! Absolutely not!" Leng Binglan interrupted Shuang loudly. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the live stream wouldn't have their voices and only the system's built-in commentary (yes, this system is that intelligent), the three of them would probably be completely famous tomorrow, and might even get on CCTV.

The massive dragon claws of the Desolate Dragon were already slashing down, and the Dragon Spirit was unleashing a barrage of magic. Frost could no longer stand still and quickly began circling the dragon. Suddenly, Cold Ice Blue appeared in front of Frost, launching her into the air with a Rising Dragon Slash. Frost immediately used Silver Light Slash to teleport behind Cold Ice Blue, but Cold Ice Blue's instantaneous draw sword slash shattered her attack, sending her flying and causing her health to drop by 47% in one go. "I have to say, they really are siblings... even their luck is so good..." Frost dodged the dragon's claws with a somersault, quickly got up, and used Triple Slash to escape. The spot where she had just stopped was immediately bombarded with magic; if she had been a step slower, she would have been finished off in this wave.

But as soon as she finished her triple slash, Shuang faced Leng Binglan head-on. She unleashed her Big Dipper attack first, and Leng Binglan reacted quickly, blocking two or three of Shuang's Big Dipper attacks. However, she still managed to withstand a significant amount of damage. After finishing her Big Dipper attack, Shuang backstepped to dodge Leng Binglan's next sword draw slash, while simultaneously adding insult to injury with her words, "Little sister-in-law, how can you treat your sister-in-law like this! Show some respect!"

"Who's your sister-in-law?!" Leng Binglan activated her maximum efficiency and unleashed the Phantom Sword, causing Shuang's health to plummet at an alarming rate. Shuang was forced to activate her healing ability, and then attempted to exchange blows with Leng Binglan using the Phantom Sword. Seeing that Shuang was also using the Phantom Sword to exchange blows with her, Leng Binglan decisively delivered her final strike, stopping the Phantom Sword and interrupting Shuang's counterattack.

"Die!" A storm of icy blue sword blades instantly swept up, sending Shuang flying. Only then did he activate his sword intent, releasing the six-pointed sword array before leaping three feet into the sky to pursue her.

Frost was powerless in the sky to begin with. After enduring the cross-shaped attack from the cold blue shadow, it was slapped into the six-pointed sword formation by the desolate dragon and then focused on by the dragon spirit. Its health instantly dropped to zero and it could no longer hold on.

[Winner: Blue Moon]

[Blue Moon, ranked 50th on the God Ranking, successfully challenged Frost, ranked 44th; the rankings have been swapped.]

After a three-second countdown, players will be teleported back to their respective rest rooms.

[3……2……1]

[Transmission initiated.]

At this time, the ladder competition of the God Ranking also officially ended. Except for the battles that have not yet been decided, no one else can launch a challenge.

-

"Congratulations to Yu Xiao for keeping second place! Keep second place!" Leng Yihan smiled brightly as she looked at the dejected Yu Xiao. Right after the battle with Tianhuo, the two fought again, and the result was... Yu Xiao lost again. Then no one continued to challenge him, and Yu Xiao successfully retained the title of the all-around second place.

"And congratulations to Lan Yue for reaching 44th place on the God Ranking and Xiao Yin for reaching 10th place on the God Ranking!" Leng Yihan picked up her grape juice again and toasted the two who had made great progress in their rankings.

Oh, some people might be wondering why Lin Yin dropped to 10th place again. The reason is simple: Lin Yin then played another round with Hammer, but she lost and was knocked back down. Lin Yin didn't think about continuing the challenge and just started acting like a lovesick girl in her rest room.

"Hmm... Brother, there's something I'm really concerned about." Leng Binglan pouted, her sharp eyes fixed on Leng Yihan. "Do you know... Shuang? She was originally ranked 44th on the God Ranking."

"Shuang..." Upon hearing this name, Leng Yihan and Lin Yin's expressions suddenly turned strange. "Binglan... Why are you suddenly asking this?"

After thinking for a while, Leng Binglan honestly recounted the conversation during their battle. "This is a bit complicated. It all started this morning. I was playing ranked matches this morning. I first encountered Sun and crushed him. Then I encountered Frost. She used some really offensive words to distract me and killed me instantly. By the time I realized I had fallen for her trap, I was already dead."

"Um...may I ask what she said this time?" Leng Yihan's lips twitched as she asked.

"...She said you were her boyfriend, and then I was hit with a fatal blow. My brain went blank and I was instantly defeated by her. Only after it was over did I realize that I had fallen for her trap. After all, I believed that you didn't have a girlfriend yet, so I didn't bring it up later." Leng Binglan said this, and Leng Yihan was probably about to say something about it, "But... what he said in the ladder match just now was very successful. It successfully made me question the fact that Jihan doesn't have a girlfriend yet."

"..." Leng Yihan didn't reply, but glanced at Lin Yin with a slightly unnatural look. She found that Lin Yin was in the same situation as her, but much more unnatural. If Leng Binglan hadn't been recalling, she might have noticed.

Extreme Cold: Calm down!!! Do you know how obvious this is?!

Voice: I know... but I still feel uneasy because I have a feeling that if I'm found out, something terrible will happen!

“Me too…” Leng Yihan didn’t say “me” aloud, but thought it to herself. Seeing that no one responded, Leng Binglan continued, “She said… she’s pregnant with Ji Han’s child, and she can’t forget Ji Han’s bravery when they first attacked Wushan together…”

"Pfft—cough cough...cough cough..." Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao immediately spat out all the drink in her mouth and choked. Even so, she still looked at Leng Yihan with a strange expression.

"...Just as I expected..."

"As expected..." On the contrary, the person involved and Lin Yin were much calmer, only Leng Yihan's expression was not so good.

"So brother, please give me a satisfactory explanation, or I'll make you mine forever tonight..."

"Don't give me those yandere lines with such a serious face!" Leng Yihan complained, then irritably rubbed her hair. "You know Shuang is a fan of mine, right? I don't know why she seems to like me so much. She even proposed to me in public in the level 70 main city..."

"Oh, the protagonist's halo, right? Looks like this Frost will play an important role later."

"Don't reveal the author's secrets to me, you idiot!" A flick on the forehead landed on Leng Binglan's head. Lin Yin continued Leng Yihan's words, "Anyway, Shuang doesn't know why she particularly likes Jihan. And she's a very smart person. Her skills aren't great, but she's very good at exploiting other people's weaknesses."

"For example, what she said to me this morning to influence me?" Leng Binglan answered, while Leng Yihan and Lin Yin nodded.

"Hmph... Okay, so it's probably because she likes my brother a lot, so she doesn't care what others think. She also noticed that I care about my brother, so she used this kind of 'low-class' trick to deal with me, right? Hmm, I see." Leng Binglan concluded, giving an explanation that satisfied her.

"Alright, you've finished talking about your business, now it's time to talk about our guild, right?" Yu Xiao had choked up enough to speak normally by now. "Don't forget the guild gathering on July 1st."

"Goodbye, I'm going to bed early tonight..."

"Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry, I need to go to bed early too, so I'm logging off now~"

"Goodnight, Sister Xiaoxiao..."

"No, no, no! You guys agreed to this a month ago!" Yu Xiao slammed her hand on the table, sounding slightly devastated.

"We're not good at handling large crowds." 3

After saying that, their table fell into a deep silence, but at least Leng Yihan and the other two didn't quit the game.

"Inhale...exhale...There aren't many people. The only people who can come this time are us and 10 officers from the guild. The others either have something to do, or it's too far for them to come, or their families are worried about their safety and they can't come. You three are all from Jinshan City, right? The meeting place shouldn't be too far from you. It's a Japanese restaurant near Jinshan Gymnasium. The date is July 1st."

"Huh? Japanese food again? Can't we have grilled meat?"

"This is a death flag, I don't want to die."

“Oh…” Leng Yihan pondered for a while, then thought carefully, “Xiaoyin, we don’t need to go back to school that day, right?” Lin Yin thought for a moment after hearing Leng Yihan’s question and replied, “No, we don’t need to go back until the end of the school year on the 16th.”

"Okay, where and what time should we meet, Yu Xiao?" Leng Yihan thought for a moment and estimated that it would be around the same time as the competition, so she could go to the competition.

"They didn't even ask my opinion..." Leng Binglan complained, but of course she was going; there was no way she wouldn't go. "The Japanese restaurant is called 'Hokukai no Yukihara.' The gathering time is noon, so we'll meet there for lunch. Don't be late, okay? And if we're having barbecue..."

Let's go out for barbecue together tonight!!!

"Stop setting death flags for us, hey!" Yu Xiao stood up across the table without hesitation, intending to give Leng Yihan a flick on the forehead, but he dodged it.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop fooling around. Oh, by the way, I have a friend who wants to invite her to join the guild, is that okay? Although her level isn't high enough right now, I think it's close enough."

"Sure, he has potential, right?" Yu Xiao was naturally asking about the potential of the person Leng Yihan wanted to bring in. "Not bad. Although he's not a particularly genius, he's not bad either. With proper polishing, he could be a fine piece of jade." Leng Yihan gave this answer after careful consideration.

"That's fine then. You can decide for yourself when she wants to join. You've already been given the vice president title." As soon as Yu Xiao finished speaking, Leng Yihan opened the guild list and, sure enough, she didn't know when her status had changed from member to vice president.

"Okay, okay, I got it. By the way, I'll go find her first, and I can help her level up in dungeons... You two stay here with Yu Xiao, otherwise it'll be too pitiful for her." As she spoke, Leng Yihan looked at the two people beside her.

"I……"

"Okay, go ahead~" Before Leng Binglan could finish speaking, Lin Yin covered her mouth. After Leng Yihan logged off and switched characters, Lin Yin finally let go of her hand. "Ha... Yinse, what are you doing!" As soon as she could speak, Leng Binglan took a breath and looked at Lin Yin angrily.

"Let's stay here with Yuxiao, otherwise it'll be too pitiful."

"Hmm...that seems to be true..."

"You two delivered such a natural finishing blow!"

-

"Xue Yunhuang? Why are you still here?" Leng Yihan had just logged back into Yiwei's account when she saw Xue Yunhuang staring at the surface of Moonlight Lake with a bored expression.

"Ah? Yiwei, you've finally come."

"Let's go do some dungeons, it's so late... how much time have you wasted?"

"It's not a complete waste. I watched the scenery for half an hour, and I've been watching you ever since I logged on at eight. Sound and Blue Moon are playing ranked matches, but the scenery in Oracle is really beautiful..."

"...Fine, I give up. Let's go do a dungeon run. It's not too late now."

"Good~"

68. A month of tremendous change is coming, with parties and competitions on the horizon!

After the ladder tournament ended, Leng Yihan first went to the party to celebrate Yu Xiao's second place victory again (and to her mock her). After that, she switched back to Yiwei and took Xue Yunhuang through a few dungeons. At the same time, she also leveled up to 20. After the two of them regrouped, they headed towards the level 20 main city.

Main Quest: Head to Snow Eagle, the city in the eternal cold! (Level 20)

[Objective: Head to the Adventurers' Guild at Snow Eagle and meet up with Yingyingxian, who is already there! (0/1)]

[Synopsis: Sanhok can no longer contain you; it's time for you to go somewhere bigger! Snow Eagle City would be a good place, and your old companion, Yingying, has just gone there. Go and meet up with her.]

After Leng Yihan and Xue Yunhuang triggered the second part of the main quest at Xueying, they logged off. Xue Yunhuang was mainly tired; she had been busy all day. Although the Divine Oracle could help her relax, it couldn't fully restore her energy, so she logged off. As for Leng Yihan... it was because he wanted to go back and see 'that place' again.

Main Quest: Go and quell the chaos outside the city! (Level 20)

[Objective: Head to the Adventurers' Guild at Snow Eagle and meet up with Yingyingxian, who is already there! (1/1)]

[Objective: Complete 3 commissions! (0/1)]

[Synopsis: You've finally arrived at Snow Eagle's Adventurers' Guild, only to hear about the chaos outside the main city! How can you just sit here and wait to die?! Go find Yingyingxuan and accept three quests to keep Snow Eagle safe!]

After receiving the task of completing three commissions, the two went offline to rest. Leng Yihan went to sleep immediately after logging off, but to his surprise... he slept until seven in the morning and did not go to 'that place'.

It's alright, at least it saves us from experiencing anything bad. Today is Sunday, but Leng Yihan and the others have to pause their time playing Oracle. Why? Because I... oops, because final exams are coming up, and all three of us need to study hard.

-

On the streets in the early morning, Yu Xiao was returning home with the breakfast she had just bought. Her golden hair fluttered in the morning breeze, making her a beautiful moving sight on the street.

A moving scenic view, not bad.

Ahem, back to the main topic, Yu Xiao saw a blonde girl covered in dirt and bruises in an alleyway on the street. The two girls even looked quite similar. If Yu Xiao knew that she definitely didn't have a younger or older sister, she would really think that the girl was her younger or older sister.

From a distance, Yu Xiao even thought she was seeing a miniature version of herself. Since they were so destined to meet, Yu Xiao definitely had to go over and check what was going on.

"Hmm... Little sister, are you awake?" Yu Xiao walked into the alley and came to the blonde girl's side every few steps. She reached out and shook her hand, but there was no response. Then Yu Xiao put her hand in front of the girl's nose.

"She's breathing... but seems to have fainted. There's a lot of blood and wounds on her body, but they've all scabbed over, otherwise it would be too troublesome to treat... Let's take her to a nearby clinic first, otherwise something bad might happen."
