Chapter: Chapter 43
“Why does your voice sound so weak? Did falling down the stairs do that to you?” Leticia asked, wearing her cat-ear headphones and playing her character while chatting with the Guild Leader.
It was Saturday. Since finishing up the tasks from a few days ago, Bai Ling hadn’t come to find Leticia, which made the Demon King feel quite comfortable.
No more worrying about opening her eyes to see a perverted white-haired guy appearing in her room. It was wonderful.
In her happiness, Leticia had also thoroughly studied the book Bai Ling had left with her, and she concluded that the item was indeed useless.
She really didn’t know why Qila was so attached to this book. Perhaps only by asking her personally could she understand what she was thinking.
“If you were confined to bed for a few days, unable to use your phone or computer, and had to listen to your parents nag, you’d be this weak too.” the Guild Leader’s voice carried a deep weariness. She was indeed quite tired.
“Hoh, how pathetic. Did you injure your hand?”
“My hands are fine, but I broke a leg. Fortunately, the doctor at the hospital was skilled, otherwise, I feared I’d be bedridden for months.” The Guild Leader sighed. “How has the guild been doing these past few days?”
“Good, extremely good. What could possibly be wrong?” Leticia replied with full vigor, as she generally stayed on the periphery of the guild.
Although she didn’t participate in guild management and was only responsible for leading them in guild battles, this didn’t prevent her from reassuring the Guild Leader that everything was fine.
After all, their guild might not excel in other areas, but their atmosphere was top-notch. Everyone was very friendly, and there were no instances of players engaging in internal strife like in some larger guilds.
Even though the Guild Leader had been offline for several days, the guild remained as it was when she was online—filled with a joyful atmosphere.
In other words, the guild was the same whether the Guild Leader was present or not.
“I have a few things to attend to lately, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to fulfill the promise I made to Xiao Qian regarding you,” the Guild Leader said with some regret. “Do we still have our Diamond rank?”
“It’s still there, I promise it won’t drop,” Leticia nodded.
How could it drop? At a critical moment when they were about to be demoted, she made a timely decision to stop the current guild battle.
As long as they didn’t play, they wouldn’t lose points, thus preserving their Diamond rank.
“You don’t plan on continuing to play anymore, do you?” How could the Guild Leader not know Leticia’s little schemes? However, she had no intention of objecting. “Forget it, forget it. Everyone has been tired enough this season. Let’s just rest for the remaining two weeks.”
Not playing was better than playing and eventually getting demoted. At least now, she could boast that her guild was a Diamond guild. Although their points were a bit low, they were still Diamond, right?
“A wise decision.” Leticia busied herself with flattering the Guild Leader. “Guild Leader, which hospital are you staying at? Should I come to visit you?”
Leticia only knew that the Guild Leader lived in the Central City like her, but she wasn’t quite sure of the exact location.
As for meeting the Guild Leader, she had been considering it for some time. After undergoing an incredibly complex internal struggle, she had finally decided to meet one of her benefactors to deepen their understanding.
The Guild Leader had spent several thousand in the game for Leticia. For this alone, Leticia felt obligated to express her gratitude to the Guild Leader.
“Oh, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?” The Guild Leader was slightly surprised by Leticia’s request. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to meet Leticia; quite the contrary, she had suggested meeting offline when they first met.
However, Leticia had refused at that time.
Her reason was that she didn’t like going out much. The Guild Leader had automatically interpreted this reason as Leticia not trusting her yet.
After all, meeting strangers online could indeed be somewhat risky.
“Haven’t I known you and the Guild Leader for a long time?” Leticia didn’t directly answer the Guild Leader’s question.
“Yes, for several years.”
“After being friends for so long, of course, we should meet. But let me say this first, I’m not good-looking.”
“Stop joking. Qianqian, you must be a great beauty… Hmm, why wait for a better day when we can do it today? I can be discharged on Tuesday, so how about we meet on Wednesday at the west entrance of the commercial street?” The Guild Leader’s spirits seemed to have lifted considerably. “Oh, right, right, invite Xiao Bai too. I’ll invite a friend as well.”
Upon hearing the Guild Leader mention Bai Ling, Leticia let out a soft hmph. “Her? Why invite her?”
“Xiao Bai is also our friend. Since we’re friends, let’s get together!” the Guild Leader said with a smile. “More people make it livelier, and liveliness is good.”
“She has a terrible temper and always wears a grumpy face. If you invite her, the atmosphere won’t be livelier, but rather more awkward,” Leticia warned.
To this, the Guild Leader stated that she didn’t believe it.
“No, no, no. I’ve chatted with Xiao Bai, and my first impression of her was that she’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. I believe her temper definitely isn’t bad.”
“Qianqian, tell me the truth. Are you and Xiao Bai together? Otherwise, why wouldn’t you bring her out for me to see? Are you afraid I’ll snatch your Xiao Bai Bai away?”
“Guild Leader, I somehow feel you and Xiao Ya might find common ground,” Leticia said helplessly, wondering where this was all coming from.
“Hehe, just tell me, is it or isn’t it?”
“Of course not!”
