Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 138

Ye Ci was momentarily stunned after hearing the name. She narrowed her eyes and did something she usually might not do. She asked again with uncertainty, "Who was it again?"

"Fleeting Time." Fluttering Red Feather did not know Ye Ci that well. Their encounter was entirely by chance and they had no conflict of interest, even their character was quite similar. That was why they had managed to form a good friendship. Despite that, Fluttering Red Feather did not know Ye Ci enough to understand her habits.

That was why Fluttering Red Feather repeated his answer again without doubting Ye Ci's request.

In Fate, there was no possibility that players would have the same name, just like every other game. That was why Ye Ci remained silent after receiving confirmation from Fluttering Red Feather.

Fluttering Red Feather, who had no idea what was going in in Ye Ci's mind, thought that she was afraid of trouble and did not wish to help his guild out. He began to beg Ye Ci earnestly, "Gongzi, I know my request is very unreasonable. You're not a member of my guild and have a guild of your own. I know that your guild is also trying to explore a dungeon as well, and it's unfair for me to ask for your help at the expense of your own guild, but I really have no choice."

After listening to Fluttering Red Feather's words, Ye Ci did not immediately speak her mind. She narrowed her eyes again while silently waiting for him to continue his explanation.

"My guild is one of the largest in the Southern Continent, but we haven't obtained many First Bloods. Although it does not affect the growth of our guild, there will still be people who doubt our capabilities. I do not wish for my guild to get bogged down. I thought we could have it easy with this dungeon since Awing The Heavens is way weaker than my guild. I did not expect them to receive outside help."

With that, Fluttering Red Feather let out a long sigh. He stole a glance at Ye Ci and was slightly disappointed to find a calm face. It was as if Ye Ci was devoid of emotion, "And also, that outside help happened to be Fleeting Time."

Ye Ci was able to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Although Fleeting Time had better mechanical skill than even Ye Ci, he tended to be low profile. He was keeping everything low key, to the point that not many knew that he was a very skillful Hunter. Nobody would've thought that he would be dubbed the "God among Hunters" in the future.

If Fluttering Red Feather was wary of him, they might have already fought against him, or it might because of Ye Ci's match with Fleeting Time back in the New Year's event.

Although Ye Ci did not care about her fame, she was nonetheless very famous in the Eastern Continent and even the entirety of Fate due to her exploits. To be able to obtain a draw against the role model of all Hunters in Fate, Fleeting Time had gained instant fame overnight.

Even if both of them were unwilling, the name of Gongzi You would always be associated with Fleeting Time by players. They were a pair... Of rivals.

That was why Fluttering Red Feather immediately asked for Ye Ci's help right after he found out that Fleeting Time was going to fight alongside Awing The Heavens.

Ye Ci made up her mind after observing Fluttering Red Feather's desperate and helpless face. She had always wanted to defeat Fleeting Time. Especially after their last battle, she did not think that she could defeat her extremely skillful opponent easily. Besides, it was only a friendly match last time. This time however, they would be facing off against each other in an actual combat between 2 guilds.

One should not be afraid of a godlike enemy, but a pig-like ally.

This was a saying that had been passed down throughout the history of gaming. In a web game, having a good team was very important.
