Gu Man made two parts to Chapter Fifteen. It’s very strange but each part is pretty long.
[1] 借刀杀人: meaning borrowing a knife to kill somebody. The idiom means that the person responsible is taking advantage of another, probably who hadn’t realized what they were doing, to attack their opponent.
Chapter Fifteen Meet Again on the Jianghu
Yu Gong and Hou Zi Jiu? They did go to kill a boss, but they wouldn’t try to steal somebody else’s boss. Wei Wei had at least that confidence in them. It was probably a misunderstanding.
Thinking that way, Wei Wei wanted to clear up any misunderstandings and very nicely said: “Could you tell me what happened in more detail.”
Zhan Tian Xia: “Lu Wei it should be you giving me an explanation. You team stole the sect’s boss and that is not acceptable. The boss drop had items that people in the sect need urgently. You solve this now.”
He kept going on accusing but wouldn’t tell her what had occurred. Wei Wei decided to not bother asking him and said: “Whose team with our sect? I’ll go ask Yu Gong.”
Zhan Tian Xia did not reply for a while: “Xiao Yu Qing Qing.”
Wei Wei: “. . . . . .”
Mortification and anger were not adequate to describe her feelings at the moment. After looking at her friend list and seeing Lei Shen Ni Ni online, she sent a message over: “When did Xiao Yu Qing Qing come over to our sect?”
Wei Wei knew that Xiao Yu Yao Yao had came to Bi Hai Chao Sheng Ge. That had been expected, the wife joining the husband’s sect or even the other way around was common. But why did Xiao Yu Qing Qing come over? When had Bi Hai Chao Sheng Ge’s standards obviously lowered by this much?
Lei Shen Ni Ni replied quickly: “Last week. Wei Wei, you didn’t know?”
Wei Wei: “Nope, who accepted?”
Lei Shen Ni Ni: “Our sect leader, because of Zhen Shui and Yao Yao. Oh, right. When they were entering, you weren’t online. All of the Xiao Yu Family entered our sect.”
Wei Wei: “… …”
Lei Shen Ni Ni: “No wonder you didn’t show any reaction. I didn’t want to bring it up. Ugh, actually Xiao Yu Yao Yao isn’t that bad, but that Xiao Yu Qing Qing is pretty bad. She keeps on playing coy and coquettish with all the males, it’s so disgusting. Wei Wei, I’m telling you secretly, I saw a few time Xiao Yu Qing Qing and Leader Zhan along, and on the same horse … …”
Wei Wei’s one question had stimulated her gossiping nature and she couldn’t stop. Wei Wei wasn’t the mood for her gossip and didn’t have interest in anything else. She sent a message to Yu Gong: “Yu Gong, you guys met Xiao Yu Qing Qing when you were killing the boss?”
Yu Gong: “I think so, didn’t notice. There were five or six teams together waiting for the boss to come out. My hand was the fastest so I got it. There was a good piece in the drop, I’ll give it to you later. You and laosan finished your quest?”
Since Yu Gong said it this way, there wasn’t any need to press further. Wei Wei hadn’t felt like they were the type to steal other people’s bosses, and was more confident now. She easily replied: “Not yet.”
Yu Gong: “Ah! Laosan is too weak.”
Wei Wei rushed to Nai He’s defence: “It’s the quest that’s too difficult!!!”
Please don’t needlessly sling mud at Da Shen >o
Wei Wei kept describing to Yu Gong the difficulty of the quest and sent a quick message to Zhan Tian Xia: “Sect Leader Zhan, why don’t you ask Xiao Yu Qing Qing what’s going on, and then give me an explanation.”
Zhan Tian Xia: “What do you mean? Lu Wei, I know you have strong opinions against Qing Qing and the others but I hope you could be rational.”
Receiving such a reply, Wei Wei could only be speechless.
Be rational, where was she not rational? Just who was it that was lying and spreading rumors!
Before, Wei Wei had thought that this Zhan Tian Xia wasn’t very good at solving issues, now it looked like he just had a terrible mind. Wei Wei didn’t want to waste more words with him. She opened the sect chat channel to yell for Xiao Yu Qing Qing.
Sect [Lu Wei Wei Wei]: Xiao Yu Qing Qing.
Sect [Lu Wei Wei Wei]: Can I trouble you to explain to Sect Leader Zhan, what you mean by my team stealing your boss.
With that one line, a storm started. Everybody in the sect who had been invisible started popping up.
Sect [Lei Shen Ni Ni]: Wei Wei, what stealing boss?
Sect [Zhen Shui Wu Xiang]: (confused expression)
Sect [Yang Tai Guang]: What’s going on?
Sect [Lu Wei Wei Wei]: Sect Leader Zhan suddenly started questioning me. He said that my team had apparently stolen Xiao Yu Qing Qing’s teams’ kill. Yi Xiao Nai He and I are in the middle of a quest. We can’t fight right now. I asked Yu Gong Pa Shang and Hou Zi Jiu. I’ve found that their explanation was a bit different. I would like Xiao Yu Qing Qing to come out and explain.
Sect [Lei Shen Ni Ni]: Hey, Wei Wei you weren’t in the team, it’s really not your problem.
Sect [Lu Wei Wei Wei]: Even so, but if Yu Gong really did steal, I’ll take the responsibility. But according to Yu Gong, it seemed that everybody was waiting for the boss to come out and he was just faster than the others. Of course, that was just his side, I don’t want to be biased, so I want Xiao Yu Qing Qing to tell her side.
Sect [revo]: Where is Xiao Yu Qing Qing?
Sect [Meng Hao Ran]: Xiao Yu Qing Qing come out and say if they did steal it or not.
The members in the sect were busy chatting, but Xiao Yu Qing Qing still didn’t appear. Later, Xiao Yu Yao Yao came out.
Sect [Xiao Yu Yao Yao]: Qing Qing isn’t here, probably just hanging online but her person left.
Hanging?
Zhan Tian Xia also wasn’t saying anything either. Did he leave too? And such a coincidence, both of them not here at the same time? Wei Wei wasn’t dumb and immediately said: “Xiao Yu Qing Qing, if you don’t want to talk, I’ll ask on the World Channel. There were several teams present, I bet there will be others would will tell what had happened.”
This time Xiao Yu Qing Qing quickly came out.
Sect [Xiao Yu Qing Qing]: I just went out. What’s going on?
Sect [Xiao Yu Qing Qing]: Oh, this thing. I just said they stole. I didn’t manage to get it, said they took away the boss. There’s nothing wrong with that. I didn’t know that Tian Xia would misunderstand and question you.
This was pushing the blame onto Zhan Tian Xia. Wei Wei didn’t like Xiao Yu Qing Qing in the beginning and now she looked down even more at her for not taking responsibility. If she only said that, Zhan Tian Xia wouldn’t have come accuse her with such righteousness and hint at her to give out the drop.
Zhan Tian Xia wasn’t an idiot.
Sect [Lu Wei Wei Wei]: According to you, then it’s Sect Leader Zhan who purposely misunderstood you words and accused me? Then shouldn’t Sect Leader Zhan give me an explaination? It’s a bad feeling to be mistakenly accused.
Sect [Zhen Shui Wu Xiang]: Looks like a misunderstanding. Everybody, don’t take it that seriously.
Misunderstanding? Wei Wei laughed coldly inside.
Lei Shen Ni Ni sent over a private message: “I feel it was definitely Xiao Yu Qing Qing flirting with Zhan Tian Xia and saying bad things about you. She probably didn’t think that Zhan Tian Xia would ask you, and get caught. But it’s hard to say, she does this a lot. Always calling the male members of the sect to help her take revenge and whatnot. Might have wanted to use somebody else’s knife to attack others?” [1]
Wei Wei rudely replied: “Then this knife she was using was too blunt.”
