XunMi: ConfusedManQuestionMark.gif
“BaoBao, come out. I promise not smack you too hard.” XunMi had just been about to teach her husband a lesson. She hadn’t even been able to say the first word when she was forced offline.
BaoBao said it was because her status as a bug in the game had been discovered. But wasn’t her bug status technically discovered since the start? Didn’t Jiang ge and the others place her soul into the game purposely to try to wake her up? Did something happen? She rubbed her chin deep in thought.
[Madam Host, it’s all my fault. That Zi Qin’s father was one of the researchers for ‘Chaos’. She wanted to fight the female lead so she had her father destroy the female lead’s ident.i.ty. But in the process, there seemed to be some mistake. Therefore, it detected your abnormal data flows. I thought it was best to extract you.] BaoBao slowly whimpered to XunMi’s side, carefully observing his Madam Host’s face. Oh no, it was very dark. But he really didn’t do it on purpose. Please show pity.
“So I was just an innocent bystander? Then can I go back in?” XunMi was more concerned about the last point.
[You can. But this time you have to choose one ident.i.ty only.]
So she didn’t need to have her multiple ident.i.ty crisis anymore? But she had already gotten used to it. Now she kind of didn’t want to part with either ident.i.ty.
“I understand. Can you pull up the female lead and the second female lead’s scene?” She wanted to see what extent these two have fought to and who had the match advantage.
BaoBao quickly pulled up their scene. He jumped onto his Madam Host’s head and sat down to watch together.
“Senior sister, why did you do this? I already said that I wouldn’t steal your armory or take master from you. I already know that master likes you. Why would I do something so dumb?” Zi Qin wore a gorgeous purple robe. With the addition of her slight demoness charm seeping through, she was even more alluring. Those around her couldn’t help but put their gaze on her, unconsciously attracted to her. This was one of Demon clan’s special abilities: charm and allure.
On the other side was YaoYao Xiao Qi. She was wearing her usual water blue colored gown. However, it was no longer prim and proper. It was a bit disorderly. Her expression also looked a bit tired, as if she had undergone an arduous experience.
“Junior sister, it really wasn’t me. I swear. I wasn’t even here yesterday. Please believe me.” Seeing Zi Qin not believe her and the rest of the crowd looking at her with doubt, she began to panic. She turned and grabbed hold of ScatteredDust’s arm, hurriedly trying to explain. “Master, you have to believe me okay? I really didn’t do anything to harm the clan. I didn’t do anything to hurt junior sister either. Master, believe me. Believe me, okay?” YaoYao Xiao Qi was nervous. She didn’t know why but she suddenly overslept yesterday. When she woke up, she was told that the clan seal was gone. Zi Qin had also gotten hurt. The person that had stolen the seal had attacked her. If she hadn’t dodged out of the way, she could have died once.
YaoYao Xiao Qi didn’t understand how the problem came to be.
ScatteredDust patted YaoYao Xiao Qi on the shoulder, his face tense with struggle. He believed that Xiao Qi didn’t do it. But the missing seal and Zi Qin’s injury were severe matters.
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s just search and find out for sure.” A clan member suggested. The others immediately expressed their agreement. A clan’s seal couldn’t be placed in inventory. They needed to be watched over. It was coincidentally Zi Qin’s turn to stand guard when this happened.
They were in the middle of a clan fight. If they didn’t have the clan seal, then they would have to admit defeat and would be forcibly disbanded.
YaoYao Xiao Qi wasn’t afraid that they would search because she didn’t steal it. But before long, the search group returned carrying a black and gold object. It was the missing clan seal.
Everyone’s face darkened.
“No, I didn’t do it. I wouldn’t take this. You have to believe me.” YaoYao Xiao Qi was shocked. Why would that thing appear in her room. But she really didn’t take it.
This time ScatteredDust didn’t know what to say. Even though he knew that Xiao Qi might not have done this, but now…
“I believe that Xiao Qi didn’t do it.” The Lonely Scholar was the first to speak up for her. He was being logical. Although he had some ambiguous feelings towards YaoYao Xiao Qi, those feelings had slowly disappeared over the course of various events. But he kept professional away from private life. There were some things that needed to be processed with a clear mind.
“Scholar gege, thank you for believing me. I really didn’t take it.” YaoYao Xiao Qi cried her heart out. The master that she trusted the most wasn’t the first one to speak up for her.
The Lonely Scholar didn’t respond. He only took and observed the seal, as if considering something. But he couldn’t reach a conclusion.
Zi Qin lowered her head, hiding her anger. What was this Lonely Scholar doing. Why would he let out a contradictory voice at such a key moment? She had clearly schemed all of this already so that she could kick YaoYao Xiao Qi away in one move. After this, her dad could just completely wipe out her player card. That way, YaoYao Xiao Qi wouldn’t even be able to appear again.
XunMi silently watched, not agreeing with this scene. It really was a bad att.i.tude to be jealous and want to harm someone for no reason. Although she wanted to see the female lead and the second female lead fight each other, she didn’t want to see such a hidden malicious strategy.
She had originally thought Zi Qin was smart but this was disappointing. As expected, that Lonely Scholar rationally explained every illogical point of the situation. In the end, everyone’s eyes turned to Zi Qin. It wasn’t like stealing and then framing another wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.
XunMi admired Lonely Scholar’s brain. He clearly went over all the details and arrived at a possible conclusion. He was a talent. It was unfortunate that they weren’t on the same side. As she watched with interest, the butler came to knock on her door, informing her that Marshal Si had arrived.
XunMi slapped her own head. She had forgotten about her dear dear husband. What a mistake on her part. She stood and took a quick shower, changed her clothing, and went downstairs.
When Si YuFan saw XunMi go offline, he quickly signed off and rushed over. He was worried that something had happened. When he finally saw the person that he had been thinking about, all his worries finally quieted down.
He walked forward and quickly pulled her closer. His voice sounded pitifully, “Why did throw me away and run off? I was worried. You have to make it up to me.”
