Chapter 217 First Five
Ye Ci stared at Bai Mo, and cast her glance over the rest of the party members Even when the party members remained silent about Ye Ci’s mistakes, she must have been a burden as Bai Mo himself was the one who approached her “Is it that obvious?” Ye Ci grimaced
“It’s like you’re an entirely different person You’ve been ht Even I am worried that you will affect the perfor the final BOSS” said Bai Mo with a s to Ye Ci
Ye Ci rubbed her aching te to Bai Mo’s words “I know it’s bad for ht now” said Ye Ci as she let out a long sigh
“What happened?” Bai Mo could tell that so was up
Ye Ci closed her eyes andup, “I had a conversation with Liu Chang just now”
“Liu Chang?” Bai Mo waswas a person in a precarious position Despite her fall out with Yi Cang, sheinto contact with her would oftenYin, “Was it about Dong Yin?”
“Not really She knew that ere beaten up, but was unaware of the circumstances behind the incident Besides, I’ve never let her in on the fact that we’ve hed Ye Ci, “It’s not that I don’t trust her, and I’ as well She would never tell Dong Yin anything about us However, if wetrouble for her and her fa even more people into this , even if he treated her with courtesy Because of what happened before at the stall earlier on, his distrust of Liu Chang grew
Ye Ci hoped that Bai Mo would not see her as an unwitting acco was also a victi behind her words, “Look at you! You’re still trying to cover for you friends even if you’re in a ht now Don’t you feel burdened by all of this?” the smile then disappeared fro did not only speak of pettyelse Don’t keep any secrets from me”
“I’m not” Ye Ci frowned in response, “It’s just that… I’m still not sure about it yet”
“What is it?”
“There’s a high possibility that our guesses are correct” Ye Ci could feel her headache intensifying
“You’re saying that Dong Yin was behind all that?” Bai Mo was not surprised to receive such an answer He and Ye Ci had made their speculations, and they ca Yin was the most plausible culprit behind the incident, but they could not be entirely sure The sa could be said about Ye Ci’s heist on Steel-Blooded Battle Spear’s warehouse Even though she was the biggest suspect, Thousand Sunsets could not be sure No evidence was left behind
Acting rashly without proof would only bring them trouble, especially when the problem would follow them into their real lives
Bai Mo’s eyebrows furrohen Ye Ci told hi, “So you suspect that Dong Yin was not the only person involved in this, and that Thousand Sunsets was backing her up?”
“This is the thing that’s bothering uild in Fate Even with our First Bloods, we’re still a relatively suild Steel-Blooded Battle Spear was on an entirely different level Even if the guild was split into Bloody Steel and Battle Spear, a starving caer than a horse Thousand Sunsets had the backing of an entire financial group as well as a nuainst the a stone with an egg It’ll be even worse for us in real life We’re even living in the sa Yin, but if she instigated hi action, you know that norainst the to do?” Bai Mo could tell that Ye Ci had a plan judging by how thoroughly she was able to analyze the situation
“If we don’t solve this problem at its roots, it will cause us endless trouble” Ye Ci stared into the foggy sky, orry in her heart, “What an unexpected turn of events…”
“What do you mean by that?” Bai Mo was startled by Ye Ci’s words However, he knew that Ye Ci was hiding a secret deep in her heart It was a secret that nobody was able to reach Even Bai Mo himself would never be able coax out such a secret
“It’s nothing” Ye Ci grihts had already wandered far away
Indeed, Ye Ci did not expect such a turn of events Dong Yin’s fas did not end well for her However, Ye Ci was not responsible for such a thing She hadYin’s pleas for help How aboutYin’s downfall? Ye Ci had the urge to laugh Fate was such a funny thing Even after her reincarnation, there were things that she was entirely powerless to change
“All hands, listen up! I’ht now Press the “confir Ink spoke up in the Command Channel
Bai Mo stood up, and patted Ye Ci on her shoulders, “So how is it? How are you feeling right now?”
Ye Ci took in a deep breath, and slapped her own cheeks in an attempt to clear her head She looked at Bai Mo and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t allow my emotions to affect the performance of the party”
Bai Mo nodded, and spoke in a soft tone, “Don’t carry everything on your shoulders Remember, I’ll always be with you No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you”
Ye Ci understood thebehind Bai Mo’s words Her heart was filled with disrace because of her? Ye Ci was bitter She had thought that she could protect everyone dear to her after her reincarnation With all said and done, a to fail?
Bai Mo stared at Ye Ci’s pained expression, and pain spread through his heart as if a nail has been driven into his chest He pulled Ye Ci into an e to her in a soft voice, “Little Ci, don’tthat kind of expression I knohat you’re thinking You don’t have to worry for me I’m not as pure and innocent as you think I am”
“Bai Mo…” Ye Ci was surprised to hear Bai Mo’s words
“Little Ci, you have to put yourself in somebody else’s shoes sometimes” Bai Mo released Ye Ci from his embrace and caressed Ye Ci’s hair with a s towards the party that was gathering front of Overflowing Ink
“What are you doing? We’re going to initiate the boss fight soon, why are you just standing here?” Fruit Jelly walked up to Ye Ci and patted her shoulder as a reminder
Ye Ci finally snapped out of her daze She looked at Fruit Jelly and nodded, shoving all her thoughts to the back of her mind She was finally able to cal Ink i the BOSS, Ye Ci stood aht ahead
“Attack!” with the order given by Overflowing Ink, the party ed into the pond at the center of the e, there was nothing special about the fifth BOSS This was, however, the first tie the BOSS at Expert difficulty They were siht
“Relax, this is just a test run It’s the first ti to gauge its daeon if we suffer a high amount of casualties I want all of you to relax” said Overflowing Ink to the rest of the party in a carefree tone, which did not go unnoticed by the party uilds that had already secured First Five had a hard tih hopes in their success during the first attempt For them, it was a process to faan
The ht under such circumstances They were relaxed as there was no need to feel pressured The ateon could be said to be har a tune It was as if they were not even trying to clearing a dungeon, and was instead having a get-togetherwith the fifth BOSS
The party was able to perfor, they were already at the third stage of the boss fight Even Ye Ci was surprised Theher one month of absence Their tea was precise
Ye Ci even felt that they had the chance of defeating the fifth BOSS in this fight Just then, she heard the voice of Overflowing Ink, “Use your mana potion if you’re low on mana, and cast all the buffs you have Don’t worry about it If we die, we can siht”
Ye Ci was surprised by the cal Ink’s voice He was able to reht It was apparent that Overflowing Ink had ireatly as a coe of the fight without much of an incident “Fck me sideways! Is this for real? None of us actually died! A Ink in surprise, as if he was an entirely different person
It was so that the rest of the e into the circle when your naive it all you got! We’re going to defeat this BOSS in one go!” shouted Overflowing Ink with exciteer that!” even if their commander remained silent, the partythe fourth stage of the fight
Ye Ci stole a glance at the ti the BOSS If they were unable to defeat the BOSS within 10 eon would be reset This meant that the efforts of the party would be in vain, and it was so down soan pouring in all her firepower onto the BOSS
