Chapter 45: Temptation

  Entering the game, the wind is gentle and refreshing, the air in the game seems to have become particularly fresh, although it's still the polluted air of the internet cafe.

  I'm still at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, after sending off the聚宝盆 yesterday I started practicing internal skills in a small pavilion by the post station. The big guys criticized Feng Xiao Xiao for doing this as it's too dangerous, what if some bored villain comes up and gives you a knife, you won't even see their face before your soul disperses.

  Xiao Yao sent a message, asking if he wanted to join their gang to level up. Xiao Yao is now also the hall master of Tie Qi Alliance, leading his subordinates to level up every day. Feng Xiao Xiao declined, remembering the experience with Liu Ruoxue last time, it's better not to look for trouble.

  Hengshan's Lianglong Ridge was originally a good place for me to level up at my current level, but due to some special events, it has become overcrowded, and I need to find another place.

  After a brief conversation with the stationmaster and the cart driver, I thought for a moment and chose to go randomly. Anyway, I didn't know where to go, so I might as well let the computer handle it.

  In a flash, he appeared in a certain city, looked up and saw the big characters on the gate: Yangzhou.

  The wind decided that for these few days, he would stay here and focus on leveling up. He sent a message to notify the boss and others, and the boss reminded him not to cause any more trouble.

  First, I strolled around the city to get familiar with the environment. Generally speaking, it's still more or less the same. As I walked in front of a teahouse, the wind was blowing gently and I habitually stepped inside. At the same time, I couldn't help but scold myself for having made it a habit to enter every teahouse I see.

  Due to emotional reasons, the wind is particularly pleasant today, and even the tea house owner who was deeply hated in the past looks unusually lovely. With such a good mood, of course, I should have two cups, walking upstairs, picking a window seat, and sitting there unintentionally.

  He had just asked a small child for tea when he heard someone exclaim: "Ah, it's him!"

  Following the sound, everyone at several tables in that direction was looking at themselves and then around, except for those who were staring in the direction of "it's him".

  The wind whistled in that direction and asked: "Who is it?"

  The three people at the table opposite him exchanged a glance, and one of them nodded: "That's right, it's him!"

  "Who is it?" asked Feng Xiao Xiao again.

  Three people got up and walked towards themselves, squeezing onto a table with the wind whistling, unfortunately one side of the table was stuck to the wall, otherwise four people would sit on all sides, it's really a very mahjong-like atmosphere.

  The two people who said "it's him" spoke up: "If I'm not mistaken, you're the one who defeated Longyan yesterday?"

  The wind whispers to deny, but thinking of the clarity of that picture on the forum, it's already clearer than a thousand words, so I can only nod in agreement.

  "It was him," he said: "We three are from Yangzhou Feiyun Mountain Villa, our leader is Feiyun, you know?"

  The wind whispers and nods in agreement.

  "It was him," he continued, "At the martial arts assembly, our leader Fei Yun actually had an evenly matched fight with Jian Donglai's Shixiong, but lost due to a slight carelessness!"

  The wind nodded in agreement, but thought it had nothing to do with him.

  "He" also nodded and asked: "Brother, which gang are you from?"

  The wind whispered and shook its head, saying it couldn't help.

  "Is he?" asked: "How can we help then?"

  The wind whispers and asks why you want to come to their aid.

  "He" took a look around, leaned in and whispered to Feng Xiao Xiao: "Our boss and Long Yan have had a grudge for a long time. Our Fei Yun Mountain Villa is also arch-enemies with their Long Men Inn. After the news of you defeating Long Yan appeared on the forum yesterday, our boss said that we must find you and team up with us to deal with Long Yan. What a coincidence that we met so quickly."

  Feng Xiao said: "I didn't have any dealings with Long Yan, why bother with him."

  "It was him" thought for a moment and said: "Even if you didn't celebrate the festival with him before, now you have celebrated it together. He's such a high-level person who dropped a level, the loss is quite severe, how could he easily let you go."

  "That's what he wants to come and deal with me, I've never thought of dealing with him!"

  "It's him," he said: "You can't always hide from his game, it's too distressing!"

  The wind was blowing, and I thought to myself that you wouldn't be saying that offense is the best defense, right? Before I could even finish thinking about it, "He" made a very forceful chopping motion with his knife and said: "Rather than this, why not join us in taking him and his Dragon Gate Inn down?"

  The wind is whispering, and I think your literary accomplishment can't even express that the best defense is a good offense in such a general term.

  "Look at him", gazing into the wind, thinking he was considering it, then said: "When he comes to hit you, instead of resisting, why not go and hit him first!"

  The wind was blowing gently, and although he didn't say that the best defense is a good offense, he managed to convey the meaning. Seeing all three staring at him, he suddenly remembered that they had been trying to persuade him, so he responded: "If he doesn't come to provoke me, why should I go looking for trouble? Even if he comes to bother me, I'm not afraid of him. No need to get rid of him!"

  "It was him" refused to give up, continuing to persuade: "Even so, joining our Fei Yun Mountain Villa, we can protect you! Our master Fei Yun is an even more powerful expert than Long Yan! What ranking did Long Yan get in the martial arts conference?"

  Feng Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Compared to your leader Fei Yun, I'm more familiar with Yi Jian Chong Tian!" In her heart, she thought, "Yi Jian Chong Tian, I'll make you famous and scare people for a bit, you won't blame me, right?"

  Unfortunately, "he" was clearly skeptical of Feng Xiao Xiao's words and thought to himself that you know Yi Jian Chong Tian, but Yi Jian Chong Tian probably doesn't know you. However, he wouldn't dare say it out loud, so he continued to speak stubbornly: "No matter how well you know Yi Jian Chong Tian, he can't protect you 24 hours a day!"

  "Is there anyone in your gang who can provide 24-hour personal protection for me?"

  "It's him" was suddenly speechless, thinking about the next words to say, when Feng Xiao Xiao had already stood up, finished a cup of tea in front of her and said lightly: "I don't need anyone's protection, I just want to walk my own path!"

  He said that and jumped out of the window, turning his head back to laugh loudly: "This cup of tea is on you, don't mind!" A few ups and downs, he disappeared into the distance on the rooftop.

  "Wow, what a personality!" A female player in the tea house exclaimed, clapping her hands.

  The whole story is that the people in the teahouse are all ears and eyes, but no one knows who Feng Xiao Xiao is. When asking who he is, the answer is "go ask the forum". Those who know Feng Xiao Xiao's background are asking what his name is, and the answer is "ask your mom".

  The good-for-nothing in the tea house again detailedly described Feng Xiao Xiao's words and actions in the tea house on the forum, and Feng Xiao Xiao's reputation in Jianghu was once again boosted. His last sentence "I don't need anyone to protect me, I just want to walk my own path!" even made many female players go crazy. The two guilds involved in the incident, Longmen Inn and Feiyun Villa, both suffered a great loss of face. Longmen Inn has stated on the forum that they will not let Feng Xiao Xiao off easily, while Feiyun Villa responded with silence.

  These days, the wind has been receiving greetings from a handful of people he knows. First and foremost is Wan Shi Tong, who repeatedly emphasizes that his current fame and reputation are inseparable from him. Jian Wu Hen and Long Teng Hu Yue have expressed their admiration for Feng Xiao Xiao, with Yi Jian Chong Tian also sending a message praising him as "having two skills". Meanwhile, Liu Ruo Xue remains oblivious to all this, still asking Feng Xiao Xiao every day "Where are you?", "What are you doing?", "How many followers do I have now?" and so on.

  The wind was blowing gently, and for the past few days, he had been making tireless efforts, never leaving the outskirts of Yangzhou City's leveling area except to buy medicine. He finally leveled up to 55, putting all his points into constitution, resulting in the following attributes: HP 1350, MP 227, Attack 0-10, Weight Limit 67, Evasion 2875, Initiative 4312, Movement Speed 3000, Hit Rate 4500. Feng Xiao Xiao could finally equip the "Ruoxue" sword.
