As the saying goes, good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide. In less than half an hour, the rumor that Flowing Light made secret deals with the Sacred Temple spread throughout Watery South.

　　When the Public Chat channel was in the midst of a lively discussion, the Sacred Temple joined the "war of words".

　　[Loudspeaker] Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Gee, I didn't expect people of the League of Strong Families to be so heartless. Flowing Light, it's better to join the Sacred Temple than suffer indignities in the League of Strong Families. I sincerely invite you to join us.

　　Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang was so angry that her fingers trembled slightly. She thought, "Is he trying to make things worse for me? This person is just as disgusting as Venus Will Cry." In the meantime, she received three game messages, inviting her to join different gangs.

　　Game Message: Li Lei invites you to join their big family the League of Strong Families. Please choose whether to accept his invitation: Yes/No.

　　Game Message: Soft-heartedness is a Disease invites you to join their big family the Matchless. Please choose whether to accept his invitation: Yes/No.

　　Game Message: Sacred TempleメCloud Top invites you to join their big family the Sacred Temple. Please choose whether to accept his invitation: Yes/No.

　　[Team Captain] Li Lei: Flowing Light, accept my invitation!

　　[Team] Flowing Light: Li Lei, I'm just curious. Evely and Venus are so certain that even I, myself start to think that I'm a spy. Why do you and Meimei trust me so much? Have you ever wondered if I'm really a spy?

　　[Team] Han Meimei: Flowing Light, don't give up on yourself! Our G.o.d-like Bluegreen-Clad will flare up, if you leave. Come on, good girl, come back to the gang. I've already taught Venus a lesson and stripped her of all her posts. She dares not to kick you out again, and she's unable to do so now.

　　[Team] Flowing Light: No, it's too messy now. I'd better stay outside for a while.

　　After sending out this message, Zheng Xiaoguang quit the team and put her character Flowing Light into a beginners' PVE region and turned down all the invitations. However, her message box still kept flickering because of the numerous incoming Private Chat messages.

　　[Private Chat] Soft-heartedness is a Disease talks to you: Flowing Light, just leave the League of Strong Families and come back! When the gang boss in online, let's go to slay those guys of the League of Strong Families.

　　The gang boss he was talking about was Blooming Pear Tree.

　　[Private Chat] Half a Cup of Lovesickness talks to you: Are you alright, Flowing Light? Why did you turn down my team invitation?

　　[Private Chat] Cool Names Taken by Dogs: I bought Venus' coordinates. Do you want to go to kill her together with me?

　　These messages from members of the Matchless reminded Zheng Xiaoguang that her old friends still cared about her. She felt somewhat relieved and quickly replied to all of them, asking them not to kill anyone to stir up more conflicts, which would be used against them in the future. She told them that she did not want to join any gang, as now she just wanted to have a little peace. She told her friends that she was alright and they did not need to worry about her.

　　[Private Chat] Sacred TempleメCloud Top talks to you: Join my gang. I promise you that you'll never have so much trouble in my gang.

　　"Well, aren't you the one who caused me so much trouble?" Zheng Xiaoguang thought grumpily and ignored all the messages from him. She stood up and went to the living room. After that, things went beyond her expectations.

　　At 6:33 pm, when the Public Chat channel was still buzzing with gossips about the female doctor named Flowing Light, Shallow Sleep logged onto the game.

　　He usually did not care much about gossips. Nevertheless, since being slain by a female doctor called Flowing Light for three times during the siege battle, he had become somewhat interested in her.

　　When he scrolled down the page to scan the Public Chat messages, he spotted an interesting one.

　　[Public Chat] Stunning Beauty in a Disordered World: Wow, Flowing Light, you're my idol! Please tell me how you hook up with all those guys! Even if I'm not attractive enough to No.1 powerful player Bluegreen-Clad or No.1 a.s.sa.s.sin Shallow Sleep, maybe I'll still have a chance with the other strong players on the lists.

　　Upon seeing that, he wondered, "Does this gossip have something to do with me? But... when did that Flowing Light hook up with me?

　　"And why did my character appear at that region when I logged onto the game? I didn't usually log off there." He frowned and gradually came to realize what had happened.

　　He thought, "Did the gang boss log into my account to hit on that Flowing Light when I was not online? He said that he wanted me to seduce that girl before."

　　He quickly opened his friend list and found his gang boss. When he asked his boss what had happened, Sacred TempleメCloud Top plainly told him everything. Shallow Sleep was irritated upon hearing that.

　　Shallow Sleep: I said that I can lend you guys my account, but I didn't say that you can do anything you want when you're using my account.

　　Sacred TempleメCloud Top: I just want to turn the Matchless and the League of Strong Families against each other. Do you want them to work together to fight against us? Don't worry, I don't really want you to marry that Flowing Light. We were just putting on an act to deceive her gang members.

　　Shallow Sleep: It's easy for you to say so. But do you think it's alright to use another person's account to commit such foolish acts?

　　Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Shallow Sleep!

　　Shallow Sleep sneered and thought, "Humph, it looks like it's useless to talk with such a ridiculous man like him." He opened his gang channel and quit the gang. The next moment, he received many Private Chat messages.

　　Bitter Tea: Shallow Sleep, why did you quit the gang?

　　Sacred TempleメEmpty City: Shallow Sleep, come back!

　　Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Shallow Sleep, you joined the Sacred Temple since the openning of Watery South. How can you quit because of such a small trifle? Aren't we brothers?

　　Upon seeing that, Shallow Sleep mocked in his heart, "Brothers? Do you really think that I don't know what you're thinking about, Sacred TempleメCloud Top? You recognize me as your brother just because I'm the strongest player in your gang. Otherwise, you would never notice a quiet person like me.

　　"And that Catalpa Tree, I knew that she got close to me for a reason. She did that at the behest of Sacred TempleメCloud Top and Saori.

　　"I knew everything, but I remained silent. I just didn't want to make the situation awkward for us. I didn't want to marry that girl or pretend to be close to the gang boss."

　　Shallow Sleep: I'm just too lazy to make any change. Once I join a gang, I seldom quit. But what you guys did today really goes beyond my bottom line.

　　Sacred TempleメCloud Top: So you quit our gang for a woman? Shallow Sleep, are you really interested in that Flowing Light?

　　Shallow Sleep quit the gang not only because of Flowing Light. He really hated to be pressured and manipulated.

　　Shallow Sleep: Do I have to tell you which woman I like? You should feel lucky that you didn't kill Flowing Light today. Otherwise I'll not only quit the gang but also get back at you guys for her.

　　Although Shallow Sleep was never an aggressive person, he was not afraid of fighting against Sacred TempleメCloud Top.

　　Sacred TempleメCloud Top: Hehe, great. I never know that you prefer a woman like Flowing Light. You even betray your gang for her.

　　Shallow Sleep refused to talk to Sacred TempleメCloud Top anymore. He entered the shop to buy a piece of equipment called Clairvoyant, and then he typed Flowing Light's ID into it to locate her.

　　When he found Flowing Light, she was sitting on a small bridge. He sent a Private Chat message to her, but his message got rejected.

　　Upon seeing that, he thought, "She probably has received way too many Private Chat messages today." As such, he tried to talk to her through Nearby messages.

　　[Nearby] Shallow Sleep: I'm sorry for what happened today.

　　He thought that he had to apologize to her. Although he did not do this thing to her by himself, it still had something to do with him.

　　To his surprise, Flowing Light remained silent, but she did not leave. "Is she away from her keyboard now?" Shallow Sleep sighed secretly. He let his character sit beside Flowing Light while thinking, "If so, I'll wait for her here."
