The difficulty of Moon Well was higher than what Ye Lang had expected originally. To increase the disparity amongst the players, the developers added an intensive buff on the new dungeon, and thee hp and attack of all the bosses and monsters were increased by 20%. This was a commonly used method by the developers. It could encourage the competitiveness of the higher skilled players, increasing the sense of glory of every kill, and could also stimulate the normal players into spending some money, encouraging them to work towards a higher objective.

On the first night of the release of the new content, just killing the little monsters along the way, Passionate Sword had already spend half an hour's time. It took them another two hours to meet the first boss, and then two minutes into the battle, the team was magnificently destroyed.
　　
This result actually did not surprise anyone. Linshan was a new server, and their progress were half a year slower than the other servers like Daishan. As the players on Linshan progressed, they were already very familiar on the strategies of how to take down all the bosses in the dungeons. From pictures to guides to videos, they were detailed to the point where every move taken by every profession were listed out clearly. The players on the new server, even while exploring, had the support of the players from the older servers. They had never had the experience of facing a completely new boss.

As such, it was not only Passionate Sword who was faced with this awkwardness. All the other big guilds from Linshan all failed to progress beyond the first boss. They were even too embarrassed to reveal their own progress, and the best and only progress announced was Luoming's 50%. Apparently this boss had a few phases, with a different attacking style every phase. Luoming had already passed the first two phases on the first day, and this progress, even on the old servers, was considered to be a pretty good result.
　　
As the previous team had always been farming Qielan dungeon with no difficulties, Passionate Sword had not used YY for commanding raids in a very long time. After yesterday's painful lesson, everyone realised that for the exploration, typing might not have been the best idea. So, the guild sent a notice, and from then on, the exploring team members had to go onto YY to listen to commands.

When Ye Lang logged onto YY he unexpectedly found Bell's lit up name in his friend list. They had added each other during the previous guild battle.

Behind Bell's name was displayed an unfamiliar channel number. Ye Lang hesitated for a moment, then he double-clicked and entered the channel Bell was in. Upon entering, Ye Lang realised it was Ninth Heaven Luoming's guild channel.

Just like many guild's YY channels, there were many rooms in Luoming's channel. As it was still not raiding time yet, there were only a few people hanging out in the dungeon channel, while most of them were in the karaoke room of the entertainment channel.
The room was public. Ye Lang silently entered. Listening to them for five seconds, he again silently exited it...
　　
He then scrolled down the list, finally seeing Bell's name appearing in the room allocated to Little Wind Chime under the PVP section. As expected, together with Bell's name was also Luoming Wind and Luoming XiaoGe these two IDs.

This room was actually not locked as well. Composedly, Ye Lang entered. This was still the first time in his life that he did something like eavesdropping, but this eavesdropping was also a little too above board.
　　
Upon entering he heard somebody speaking.
"I'll stop the rogue, you go stop the warrior." Luoming XiaoGe's name lit up.
"Fuck! Boss don't give me damage over time!"
"Fuck I've been surrounded, you're actually ignoring me, dumbass, go go go go go!"
"Teleport teleport teleport teleport!"
Another voice called out, "Can you do it, you're dying so quickly?"
Ye Lang had heard this voice before on Mt. Pagoda. As the owner of this voice really deserved a beating, he remembered it immediately. There was no mistake, it was Luoming Wind.
"I'll be dead if you don't come!"
"You think the healer's dead?"
"Haha."
Bell's name was lit up for a moment. Ye Lang was stupefied, and he could not help but increase the volume.
　　
Bell must have saved XiaoGe then, and Xiao Ge's voice also sounded happier.
"What the fuck, awesome."
"Choose an archer, the pets are too annoying." Luoming Wind's voice.
"Watch me!"
Xiao Ge's pleased cheers quickly came from YY. Ye Lang could guess that the other team should have fallen. As expected, the match ended in a short while, and Xiao Ge started boasting about his recent outstanding performance.
"Boss's attack just now was awesome!"
"What's there to be proud about? Just now, if Bell wasn't around, you would have been killed by that warrior. How embarrassing."
Bell spoke up, "That warrior had a pretty high hp pool, I think his gear is should be full of level 6 life gems. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the three axe blows."
After that, the three of them continued discussing other matters, but YeLang could not longer pay attention anymore. How could it be like this?
　　
Luoming Wind must have switched his screen. Seeing Night Wolf's name in YY, he whistled.
"Bell, there's a guest, come and receive him."
"What?" It was silent for a moment, then the other person's voice sounded again, "Oh, Hubby, you're here?"
His voice was full of joy. "Are you here to look for me? Once I'm done with this match, I'll accompany you."
"What the fuck? Can you be a little more professional?" Xiao Ge spoke up. "We've only fought how many matches?"
"Accompanying Hubby is more important. Who do you think you are?"
In comparison to Bell's relaxed joy, Ye Lang's mood had dropped drastically. With a move of his hand, and without a word, he left Luoming's YY channel.
　　
He had thought that Ling Yang and Bell were both Yanshan students, both Pale Soul players, both with hand injuries, both got dizzy near water, and with so many clues he could pretty much conclude that they were the same person. After Ling Yang fell into the pool, he was very sure of his conclusion.
