“Dirty! Shameless! How come I never found members of the Sacred Temple so annoying before?” Zheng Xiaoguang thought angrily.

She was eager to fight them till death, but as her character Flowing Light was still controlled by Bitter Tea and could not move at all, she could only watch Sacred TempleメCloud Top and Sacred TempleメEmpty City leave the current region one by one,

[Nearby] Bitter Tea: Flowing Light, I sincerely hope to fight together with you in the Sacred Temple as soon as possible.

With these words, Bitter Tea flew away.

Four seconds later, Flowing Light was finally able to move freely again. She immediately resurrected Evely, Nine-Tailed Red Fox and One-inch Monk. Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze also clicked to resurrect himself on the spot and stood up again.

They remained silent for a while, feeling awkward.

Zheng Xiaoguang could tell that every one of them must have seen what had happened just now. She thought, “They must become suspicious of me now. Sacred TempleメCloud Top made such an offer to me just now, and that Shallow Sleep deliberately slew everybody on the team except me.

“Uhm, as to that Shallow Sleep, I don’t believe that he fell in love with me because I stole some kills from him. The Sacred Temple must’ve made up this story to drive a wedge between me and Bluegreen-Clad. They probably just want to gain benefits through undermining the alliance between the Matchless and the League of Strong Families!

“These guys from the Sacred Temple are so scheming. They deliberately choose to frame me today, as I’ve just begun to gain my gang members’ recognition with the help of Bluegreen-Clad. As a new member of the gang, I can hardly convince the other gang members to believe me.”

[Team Captain] One-inch Monk: Flowing Light, what’s going on?

Suddenly, One-inch Monk called her Flowing Light instead of the first lady of the gang.

[Team] Flowing Light: Believe it or not, there’s nothing between me and that Shallow Sleep. I just took advantage of the chaos to kill him during the siege battle.

[Team] Evely: Then why didn’t he kill you when he killed all of us? Who’ll believe that there’s nothing between you two? And the gang boss of the Sacred Temple even invited you to join his gang!

[Team] Flowing Light: I’ll never join the Sacred Temple!

While saying this, she thought, “Even if Bluegreen-Clad and I are just a ‘contract couple’ , and even if he might have sent a ‘flattering photo of himself’ to cheat me, I’ll never betray the League of Strong Families. I can’t put my big brother Blooming Pear Tree in such an awkward situation. I can’t turn the two big gangs against each other. I’ve already accepted Bluegreen-Clad as my friend. I cannot let the scheming guys from the Sacred Temple achieve what they wish.

“If Bluegreen-Clad finds someone that he really likes and divorces me someday, I’ll return to the Matchless. Even at that time, I’ll still treat Han Meimei, Li Lei, and the other doctors and members of the League of Strong Families as friends. I’ll always support the alliance between the League of Strong Families and the Matchless.”

[Team] Evely: Save it! I suspect that it was you who sent our location to the gang boss of the Sacred Temple. Otherwise, how could they happen to come here and kill us shortly after we arrived here?

[Team] Nine-Tailed Red Fox: Evely, don’t say that. I don’t think that our first lady is such a person.

[Team] Evely: She’s not such a person? What a ridiculous explanation! Nine-tailed, just think about it. Deterred by our gang boss’ fighting capacity, the Sacred Temple members have seldom come at us since the siege battle. How come they suddenly popped out together with their gang boss and ambushed us when our gang boss and strongest players were not online? I don’t think this is a coincidence. Someone must’ve tipped off them about our location.

Evidently, Evely was suggesting that Flowing Light was the spy.

[Team] Nine-tailed Red Fox: Evely, maybe it’s really a coincidence.

[Team] Evely: As you saw, the members of the Sacred Temple slew all of us except her! Is this not enough to prove that she is a spy they planted in our gang?

Zheng Xiaoguang felt grateful for Nine-Tailed Red Fox’s trust. For all her new friends in the League of Strong Families, she decided to explain to them.

[Team] Flowing Light: I’m not a spy. If I was a spy, I would ask them to kill me first to protect my identity. Why would I let them do that to expose me? After all, I can always resurrect myself after death in the game. It’s not too much trouble. If I really asked them to kill you guys, why would I have to ask them to leave me alive alone?

[Team] Evely: Huh, it’s hard to say. Who knows what you think?

[Team] Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze: Evely, don’t talk nonsense. We should trust our first lady.

[Team Captain] One-inch Monk: I don’t think we can convict Flowing Light based on a few words from the members of the Sacred Temple. If she really colluded with the Sacred Temple, why would she help us during the siege battle?

Although One-inch Monk did not fully trust Flowing Light as Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze and Nine-Tailed Red Fox did, he did not totally agree with Evely.

[Team] Evely: Maybe she’s not a spy of the Sacred Temple, but a spy of the Matchless. As she thinks that she has already won our trust by fighting the siege battle together with us, she begins to tip off the Sacred Temple about our plans. Once she successfully turns us against the Sacred Temple, her big brother Blooming Pear Tree can reap all the benefits!

Upon seeing the message, Zheng Xiaoguang could not help but touch her forehead and thought, “This is quite strange. How come this Evely is such a conspiracy theorist? Or, is she trying to frame me? However, I’ve never offended her before. And she’s not one of Venus’ friends. Why does she suspect… or slander me like that?”

[Team] Flowing Light: No matter what you say, I just want to tell you that I am not a spy. Sister Nine-tailed, Spring Breeze and Monk, don’t be deluded by the Sacred Temple. I suspect that they deliberately said that in front of you guys to frame me. They want you to misunderstand me and elbow me out. By doing so, they can undermine the alliance between the League of Strong Families and the Matchless and turn us against each other.

[Team] Nine-tailed Red Fox: Yeah, I believe our first lady. We’d better not make a fuss about a few words from the scheming guys of the Sacred Temple. It’s a stupid thing to do.

[Team] Beating War Drums in Spring Breeze: Yes, first lady. Nine-tailed and I trust you.

Zheng Xiaoguang smiled and thought, “At least two of them trust me and will speak for me. As for One-inch Monk…”

[Team Captain] One-inch Monk: Sorry, Flowing Light. I think I have to report this thing to the gang boss and let him decide what to do.

“Well, it looks like One-inch Monk wants to deal with this thing in the most rational way,” Zheng Xiaoguang thought and decided to stop persuading him. She never planned to hide this thing from Bluegreen-Clad. She knew for sure that she was unable to do so, since the Sacred Temple was obviously trying to blow this thing into a major controversy, not to mention that there was Evely who clearly distrusted her very much.

[Team] Flowing Light: Okay.

Impressed by Flowing Light’s open and direct manner, One-inch Monk added.

[Team Captain] One-inch Monk: Please rest assured. I’ll tell him nothing but the truth.

Zheng Xiaoguang took a deep breath and thought, “Well, this is probably the best situation. Compared to letting Evely talk nonsense in front of Bluegreen-Clad, it’s better to let the calm and rational One-inch Monk to inform him of this incident.”

Unfortunately, Zheng Xiaoguang forgot an important thing. Evely never promised her not to talk about this incident inside the gang.
