“Achoo!” Ye Ci let out a loud sneeze For soht shade of red after leaving the Golan Arena With her exhaustion after her encounter with Fleeting Ti out of the gae from Green Hill’s Moon before she could enter the town hall
“You have news for ht to the point
“Yup”
“I’ll be waiting for you in my private room in the Red Lake City town hall I’hed It seeo offline after all In truth, Ye Ci had conflicted feelings about the news She needed the information to prepare for her next move, but it would alsosoon
This hy Ye Ci was conflicted
As a proure in Red Lake City, Ye Ci’s roooblet on her table, the are and expensive wine in her cabinet, and all the extravagant furniture were all telltale signs of her position in Red Lake City
The first thing that caantly ht to see her in such a serene state Based on his knowledge and memory of Ye Ci, she was a violent and calculative person It was the first time he saw her to be so serene
Everybody has two sides Just like how all things under the sun will cast their own shadows, the cold and calculative Gongzi You had her own soft side
Ye Ci turned around slohen she heard Green Hill’s Moon’syou want”
Green Hill’s Moon raised his eyebrows and smiled at Ye Ci, “What? You don’t seeme of how money can make even the Devil himself work for you But I… Am a poverty-stricken peasant at the moment” said Ye Ci with a smirk as she lifted one of the bottle of wine frooblet on the seat opposite to hers
The aht It was brilliant and dazzling
Green Hill’s Moon was not at all courteous with Ye Ci He ioblet He swayed the goblet fro the aroma of the expensive win, “How much do you think this wine cost?”
“I can tell you that it’s not so that I can afford” said ye Ci with a sulped down the wine
Ye Ci smiled at Green Hill’s Moon, “You acted as if you’re well-versed in the art of wine tasting with your action, just to gulp it all down anyways It’s just…” she did not continue her sentence, but Green Hill’s Moon understood the hed, “As long as you’re happy, all is well Why do I have to put up airs just for sho troublesome would that be”
His words were like music to Ye Ci’s ears Maybe… I’et to business, shall we?” Green Hill’s Moon narrowed his eyes, “Gleaely these days”
“They’ve been acting strangely?”
“Yup Their behaviors were very strange” Green Hill’s Moon nodded, “Although I’ Sunshine, I still did a thorough investigation on her upon your request” he continued after a slight after staring intently at Ye CI, “And that includes her real life”
Despite Green Hill’s Moon’s gaze, Ye Ci remained as serene as she hen he first walked into the roourine that betrayed no e Sunshine’s real life identity was mentioned
Green Hill’s Moon was iation into the private life of Glea Sunshine would definitely lead to her identity in real life She knew the consequences of having her real identity exposed However, even with that knowledge in zi You, certainly you know that if I’ve investigated the private life of Gleaentle tone after a slight pause, “It means that I knoho you are in real life”
Ye Ci stared at Green Hill’s Moon She could not tell as going on in the man’s mind, but if she remembered correctly, Green Hill’s Moon was a very trustworthy person even if he was a business exposed by Green Hill’s Moon
“So what?” said Ye Ci with a slight sht So what if he knew?
Green Hill’s Moon was stunned into silence “What? You’re not surprised?” he asked after a long moment of silence
“Why should I?” Ye Ci paid no heed to Green Hill’s Moon’s words, “I knew that a day like this would coht as continue with that trust”
Green Hill’s Moon found a whole new level of respect for Ye Ci She exactly the opposite of what he expected her to be after acquiring her data in real life
“What? Is the realYe Ci’s intently and enuine, Green Hill’s Moon sighed and spoke with a grimace, “It’s not that But…”
“But what?”
“But your appearance in real life doesn’t really fit your personality in game”
“What do you ate the wrong person or so my professionalism?” Green Hill’s Moon shook his head with a smile, “Are you really 19 years old?”
“Why is that?” Ye Ci smiled at Green Hill’s Moon, “Do I not look like a 19 years old to you?”
Green Hill’s Moon shook his head, “Nope, not at all You were so shrewd and ruthless that you gave me the impression that you’re at least 29 years old I did not expect you to be a 19 years old”
Ye Ci laughed out loud as she stared at Green Hill’s Moon Well, aren’t I 29 already? If I add e in my last life, I’ll be way older than 30 years old
“I’e” she attee the topic
“No, I’ Sunshine, shall we?” Green Hill’s Moon could tell that Ye Ci was not interested in a discussion about her age as well, “Dong Yin was not the only person behind that incident that caused your injury”
“So He Xiao was involved as well?”
“Indeed”
Ye Ci furrowed her eyebrows, and sighed after athat I don’t quite understand here”
“What is it?”
“My relationship with Thousand Sunsets is bad, but we’re not exactly going at each other’s throat as well Why would he intervene in Dong Yin’s stead? Was it because she’s his girlfriend?” Ye Ci shook her head, “Based on what I know about Thousand Sunsets, he’ll never sacrifice his benefit for a wo as open conflict does not break out between us, there’s still a chance that we can work together So why did he do such a thing?”
“Have you heard of the saying ‘to choose the lesser of both evils’?”, Green Hill’s Moon responded with a question of his own
“Of course I’ve heard of it, but what does it have to do with this?”
“Because you’re the lesser evil”
“Oh?” Ye Ci narrowed her eyes Her interest was piqued by Green Hill’s Moon’s state on between Thousand Sunsets and Glea about?”
“I do”
“What do you think caused that?” Green Hill’s Moon was like a gentle guide, leading Ye Ci closer and closer to the answer she sought
What could it be? Ye Ci lowered her head in thought The ansas a simple one, “There can only be two proble Yin’s feelings for Thousand Sunsets, and et rid of you You’re such a perceptive person”
“I just know her well enough”
