Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 54: Bai Mo

After leaving Winter Hot springs, Ye Ci headed straight to Red Lake City.

The wind caressed her long hair, reminding her of the past.

She wasn't exactly a kind person. If she was kind, she wouldn't have threatened Wandering Cloud.

Ye Ci had learned about the scandal a little too late. The guild leader of Tang Dynasty, Night And Day treated Wandering Cloud like a brother. There was nothing unusual, but then shit happened.

Wandering Cloud and Night And Day fell in love with the same girl but Wandering Cloud chose to let it go. The girl then became a couple with Night And Day. From that day onwards, Wandering Cloud had never talked to that girl. The story would've ended there. But when the Fate servers opened, the girl joined the game as well.

Sometimes, things happened not because of right or wrong but because of the timing.

What Wandering Cloud and the girl lacked was the so-called 'timing'. But in Fate, their time finally came. In the end... one of them betrayed a lover, and the other betrayed a brother. This was the beginning of a shocking scandal, but also a testimony of their 'love'.

After that incident, Wandering Cloud used Ye Ci as a tool to increase his influence. He was able to replace Night And Day as the guild leader of Tang Dynasty and also replaced Night And Day as well as the husband of his wife.

All these things were learned by Ye Ci after she left Wandering Cloud. At that time, Wandering Cloud's relationship with the girl was exposed, and it became one of the top 10 scandals in Fate. Ye Ci was quite pitiful. She was merely cannon fodder in a larger scandal.

However, looking back on it as a reborn person, the entire incident was like a joke.

She wasn't unfamiliar with the fire deep within Wandering Cloud's eyes. It was exactly the fire she saw in her past life when he found his resolve to take down Night And Day. He was a man who would go to extreme lengths to achieve his ambitions. Despite not being afraid of him, Ye Ci didn't want trouble. After all, she want nothing to do with Wandering Cloud anymore.

She took a look at the time. It was right after the time when Wandering Cloud had an affair with the girl in Floral Apartment, room 612. It was a widely-known fact in Ye Ci's last life. But in her current life, it was still a secret.

Wandering Cloud thought that his secret was safe. But how could he maintain his composure when his supposed secret was known by Ye Ci?

His expression... was rather funny.

Recalling Wandering Cloud's reaction earlier on, Ye Ci flipped her hair, throwing everything to the back of her mind. She galloped at full speed back to Red Lake City.

The moment she stepped through the city gate, she received N numbers of messenger pigeon. All of them asking were asking about the same incident: The First Blood.

Ye Ci's head hurt with the sudden influx of messages. She had originally wanted to give herself a chance to face her past. But she had never thought that it would bring her so much... 'troubles'.

Helpless, Ye Ci decided to go offline to hide herself.

This was probably the longest period of time that Ye Ci had spent online. She was totally exhausted when she went finally offline. She didn't even care about eating and headed straight to sleep.

Even Ye Ci herself did not know how long she had slept. She was woken up by the the ringing of her phone. Ye Ci curled underneath her blanket as she made up her mind to ignore the phone call. But her caller was even more persistent. The phone rang and rang and finally Ye Ci relented.
