Never Deeply Attached firmly believed that Flowing Light was the root cause of the conflict. Upon seeing his messages, Zheng Xiaoguang really wanted to pull the plug and pretend that her Internet was suddenly down.
Fortunately, before she got mad, Bluegreen-Clad got online and joined the team.
[Team] Bluegreen-Clad: What's going on here?
[Team Captain] Han Meimei: It's about Venus. Never Deeply Attached seems to have misunderstood us.
[Team] Bluegreen-Clad: Let's find Son of Heaven and talk through this issue.
Five minutes later, Son of Heaven and Venus Will Cry arrived at the entrance to the secret pa.s.sage.
As a team could have at most 5 members, Team Captain Han Meimei built a group and pulled Son of Heaven and Venus Will Cry into the group to chat together.
Just as Zheng Xiaoguang had expected, Venus began to explain how innocent she was and how Flowing lLight and Han Meimei misunderstood her. What she said was pretty much what Never Deeply Attached had told the team a moment ago.
Venus Will Cry: Flowing Light, I know that you hate the thread on s.h.i.+ny Sky Forum, but it has nothing to do with me. I never posted anything on the forum. I've never visited the forum. And I never meant to offend you last time. Can you let Son of Heaven join your team now? I can complete missions by myself.
Before Zheng Xiaoguang had time to reply to the message, Son of Heaven flared up.
Son of Heaven: No, I can't leave you alone. I'd rather never team up with them.
Never Deeply Attached: Don't get upset, Son of Heaven and Venus. I've explained everything to them. Let's see what they're going to say.
Venus Will Cry: Thank you, Never Deeply Attached. Don't force them to accept me. I know that Flowing Light doesn't like me. As she refuses to forgive me and let me join the team, the others just can't do anything about it.
Son of Heaven: You did nothing wrong. Why do you need her to forgive you? Venus, let's leave this place. I'll help you complete missions, and we can team up with other players.
Venus Will Cry: No, Son of Heaven. I know that you want to team up with your friends. I don't want you to pretend that you don't care about them because of me. I don't want you to be misuderstood by your friends.
Venus Will Cry: Boss, Son of Heaven always regards you guys as his friends. A few days ago, some people of the Sacred Temple invited him to join their gang. He refused them without hesitation. If Flowing Light doesn't want to see me, I'll quit the League of Strong Families today. But please bring Son of Heaven back to your team.
Son of Heaven: No, Venus. You're such a kind girl. I can't let you be wronged. If you quit the gang today, I'll leave together with you!
Venus insisted on quitting the gang, and Son of Heaven kept persuading her. Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang discovered that she did not have any chance to speak.
She thought, "Venus is so cunning. She deliberately said that and put up this show to place all the blame on me. She wants to make others believe that she's innocent and it's I who force Bluegreen-Clad, Li Lei and Han Meimei to elbow her out."
Never Deeply Attached: Stop talking about quitting the gang. We're good friends. We just need to get things straight now. What do you say, Flowing Light?
Zheng Xiaoguang looked at the message on the screen and thought, "This Never Deeply Attached is forcing me to make a decision now.
"If I agree to let Venus join the team, they'll be happy. If I refuse to do so, they'll consider me to be petty. It seems that I have no choice now."
Bluegreen-Clad: You don't need to ask Flowing Light about this. It was I who refused to team up with Venus.
Zheng Xiaoguang was surprised upon seeing that and wondered, "Is he trying to take the blame for me?" The next moment, she received a Private Chat message from Bluegreen-Clad. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Zheng Xiaoguang felt touched, and her heart overflowed with tenderness. This was the first time she had discovered how great it was to have someone she liked to rely on. She felt that as long as Bluegreen-Clad was here, she would not need to be afraid of anything.
Venus Will Cry: Boss, you don't need to speak for your wife anymore. Everyone knows that she doesn't like me.
Bluegreen-Clad: I didn't speak for her. It was really I who refused to team up with you.
Venus Will Cry: Why?
Venus could hardly believe what she saw and blurted out the word without much thought. The next moment, she realized that she seemed to have reacted too eagerly and added.
Venus Will Cry: I know that it's all my fault. When you got married to Flowing Light, I should've left the team. It was I who offended your wife. I'm really sorry.
Bluegreen-Clad: I'm not talking about that. By the way, I'm wondering whether you're determined to marry Son of Heaven. When will you marry him?
Venus had never expected Bluegreen-Clad to suddenly ask her such a question, but she had prepared an excuse for that.
Venus Will Cry: I'm waiting for Son of Heaven to give me a seven-star Yellow Spring Sword.
Bluegreen-Clad: Are you saying that if Son of Heaven gives you a seven-star Yellow Spring Sword now, you'll marry him immediately?
Venus Will Cry: Of course, that's my promise.
While saying this, she thought, "'Unfortunately', it's too difficult for Son of Heaven to make a seven-star Yellow Spring Sword now. He can't collect all the needed materials, so I don't need to marry him."
Son of Heaven: I'm sorry, Venus. I'm useless. I've not yet collected all the needed materials.
Venus Will Cry: That's alright. I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes.
Bluegreen-Clad: I'll provide you with all the materials you need, Son of Heaven. I see you looking for Refining Stones and Refined Iron on the Public Chat channel every day. You just need these two things right now, don't you?
Son of Heaven could not believe what he saw. He wondered, "Neither Han Meimei nor Bluegreen-Clad supported him to chase after Venus before. Why does he suddenly offer to help me?
"But I do need these things."
Son of Heaven: Yes, that's all I need. Can you lend them to me now? I'll pay you back later.
Bluegreen-Clad immediately opened his warehouse and took out the materials for Son of Heaven. Bluegreen-Clad: If you don't have enough Forging Stones and Guarantee Talismans, just tell me.
Son of Heaven: Thank you, Bluegreen-Clad. Wait for me, Venus. I'll make you a Yellow Spring Sword.
After sending out this message, Son of Heaven immediately went back to the city. Not long after that, they saw a system bulletin on the Public Chat channel.
Game Message: The wind rises and the clouds begin to gather. Suddenly, a beam of golden light shoots out. Son of Heaven fixes his eyes upon it. It is a Yellow Spring Sword!
[Public Chat] Son of Heaven: Here's the Yellow Spring Sword. Marry me, Venus!
