Chapter 242: Advice
Shortly after both brother and sister composed themselves, Zhao Xin decided to brush aside this matter, albeit knowing something was still amiss.
"Anyway, I didn't bring you two here to the private room to merely resolve the misunderstandings with Zhang Jingyi." Zhao Xin revealed. She would truly be wasting a lot of time if she needed to constantly bring guests to a private room to resolve conflict.
Naturally, Zhao Kai was shocked that there were more matters aside from the misunderstanding to be discussed here.
As for Xu Feng, he was rather calm, having expected that there must be something else she wished to discuss. Using Zhang Jingyi was just a smokescreen, given that she didn't even intervene when his frankness clearly humiliated Zhang Jingyi.
"You don't seem surprised, Feng." Zhao Xin curled her lips up, her gaze fixated on him.
"Why should I be surprised?" Xu Feng mused.
"Your good friend, Feng Qing Rou, isn't here, which means she must be busy in the Divine World. As for Zhang Jingyi's brother, he should be doting on her a lot, but to not even attend this party with her meant that he was also busy, most likely in the Divine World too."
Hearing the comments, Zhao Xin didn't get mad or surprised. Instead, she nodded and realized Xu Feng was indeed hiding quite a bit, especially his knowledge regarding the Divine World.
Previously, she had mentioned that he should join Divine World and her friend's guild, but Xu Feng didn't even faze a bit. This clearly meant that he understood the Divine World was not just a regular virtual reality game.
"Not bad," Zhao Xin similarly took a seat and smiled. "Zhang Jingyi's brother is Zhang Tie Quan, otherwise known as Herald Fist in the Divine World."
"Wait a minute? Herald Fist? That tyrannical person?" Zhao Kai suddenly exclaimed in shock, clearly having just figured this out.
At the same time, he pieced the words that Xu Feng mentioned and his face twitched.
"Sister's friend is Feng Qing Rou, and I know Herald Fist is contesting against the Silver Wind guild. It can't be a coincidence, right?" He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, his gaze glancing between Xu Feng and Zhao Xin.
However, this wasn't the reason for his nervousness, but the fact that he also knew one thing.
Player Lin Feng.
The fact that Lin Feng was the cause of Silver Wind guild's sudden rise wasn't unknown to the players in Riverwood Town, but none of them knew aside from him that Lin Feng was actually Xu Feng.
'Holy shit, Feng is actually manipulating and deceiving these people.' Zhao Kai finally realized the severity of this matter and the courage of Xu Feng.
However, he kept quiet about this information to himself. Since had promised Xu Feng not to reveal it, then he wouldn't, even if his sister commanded him.
Not to mention, as long as he didn't reveal any hints, she wouldn't ask him either, saving him quite the trouble.
"This isn't some secret to the people here. Hence, I want to ask if the two of you are currently playing Divine World." Zhao Xin said, her intention being quite clear.
Since she had already announced her intention of wanting to mass invest in the Divine World, she naturally wanted more people to join her plan. Even better would be the people being someone she trusted.
Zhao Kai scratched his head, unsure of how to answer her. He did indeed play the Divine World, but he knew his sister wouldn't ask such a question casually.
However, based on his minuscule movement, it was easily detected by Zhao Xin.
"It seems like you do play, but I suppose you want to be independent." Zhao Xin sighed softly.
"I— uhh…" Speechless, Zhao Kai couldn't come up with an excuse.
As for Xu Feng, he smiled briefly and nodded his head. "Yeah, your friend's guild is too big for people like us. We just like to play casually without being involved in many conflicts." Discover more content at мѵʟ
'Liar!!!' Zhao Kai shouted inwardly, clearly knowing he was spouting nonsense.
Nevertheless, it was also true that he didn't want to join his sister's friend's guild. It was already difficult for him to survive in the real world, so he didn't want the same to happen in the Divine World either.
Nodding, Zhao Xin no longer pursued the matter. "Well, just know that it's fine being independent, but don't involve yourself with Zhang Jingyi or the Tyrant Fist guild further."
After giving her final piece of advice, she stood up and left the private room.
Once the coast was clear, Zhao Kai quickly locked the door and stared at Xu Feng, almost as if he had something to say.
"Stop staring at me like that. I wouldn't mind a hottie staring, but you?" Xu Feng exclaimed.
"Hmph, who is staring at you?" Zhao Kai snorted and rolled his eyes.
He proceeded to cross his arms and said, "You have really changed, Feng. Now you are even fooling my sister, her friend, and even that Zhang Jingyi woman."
"How can it be called fooling? It's merely a coincidence that I managed to meet Zhang Jingyi by chance. As for your sister and her friend, it's a coincidence too."
"Then I suppose your luck must be insane to have such coincidences."
Clearly, Zhao Kai was not believing Xu Feng's words whatsoever. The number of coincidences was simply too much.
One or two times, he could let it go, but three plus?
Nah, no way!
Meanwhile, Xu Feng could only shrug his shoulders in response.
What he said was the truth, and there wasn't any evidence he could use to prove himself.
"Anyway, we should still subtly help my sister out. She's my closest kin so that Tyrant Fist guild can scram." Zhao Kai puffed up and demanded.
"Not doing it." Xu Feng calmly adjusted his glasses. "So far, the Tyrant Fist guild has not done anything to me. In fact, he's one of my wealthy customers, so why would I cut off a fat sheep?"
