Chapter 191 Juanjuan's Speech

Lin Xi watched the show from within the Ghost Crows, taking some sunflower seeds and peanuts from her backpack while asking Juan Juan about the guild's daily operations.

Juan Juan, who was in charge of management, answered Lin Xi's questions fluently. She even introduced every member to Lin Xi, giving her a general idea of the different factions within the Yi Meng Guild.

Lin Xi listened and nodded. Then, with a slight wave of her hand, the Ghost Crows surrounding them began to multiply again. They quickly sought out the promising members Juan Juan had mentioned and protected them using the same method.

Cancers must be removed, and good talents must be kept; Lin Xi had always been clear about her debts and grudges.

Juan Juan's player ID had appeared in the final chat logs from Yang Qi and Brother Fei. Before this, Lin Xi had seen her efforts to maintain the guild without rushing to take the leader's seat. Otherwise, Lin Xi wouldn't have stepped in to help.

Seeing Lin Xi Yi Meng's actions, Juan Juan's admiration for this powerhouse grew even further.

She wasn't an indiscriminate do-gooder who helped everyone, nor a natural saint, nor a lunatic who enjoyed watching people go mad. It was the Dragon Kingdom's luck that such a person was the top-ranked player.

Like Lin Xi Yi Meng, she had long suggested to Yang Qi that players like the man with dreadlocks should be expelled. Unfortunately, her suggestion wasn't adopted. Later, Vice Leader Yang Qi went undercover, and the matter was dropped.

Now, Boss Yi Meng had personally taken care of it, bringing the matter to a close.

Thinking of Yang Qi and Brother Fei, Juan Juan looked at Lin Xi Yi Meng, who was right in front of her. She opened her mouth several times but didn't have the courage to ask.

Sensing Juan Juan's hesitation, Lin Xi looked at her and comforted her, "He... said he wanted to stay there."

"Taking down the Divine Child of Ghost Control was thanks to them—Brother Fei and Yang Qi."

Lin Xi emphasized their names and explained to Juan Juan that she hadn't brought Brother Fei's body back.

"I see." Juan Juan nodded. Hearing that Brother Fei had truly participated in the siege against the Divine Child of Ghost Control, she seemed at peace. "I understand. That's good then. That's good."

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It wasn't a bad thing to remain at the place where revenge was taken.

Inside the Ghost Crow storm, the atmosphere between the two became awkward for a moment. Outside, the players who had gone mad with bloodshot eyes were slashing at anyone they saw, unable to distinguish friend from foe, let alone maintain their sanity.

They had no sanity left at all.

Faced with the suddenly crazed guild members, everyone except those protected by the multiplied Ghost Crows was wiped out, with no survivors.

"Holy crap, what's happening? Where did these Ghost Crows come from? Isn't that Big Bear is Coming? Why is he attacking guild players everywhere?"

"There are players over there covered in Ghost Crows too?"

"This thing... this multiplication speed... My god, I've never seen or heard of anything like it. When did such a powerful boss join our guild?"

"I remember those guys went with Mo Qi Shao Nian Qiong to stage a coup, didn't they? What's going on now? Did the coup fail? Or was the loot distributed unfairly... Is this infighting?"

Some players who knew a bit of the situation but hadn't participated looked at the brainless guild members in confusion. They even looked toward the building where the internal meeting room was located with some concern.

"I wonder how Boss Juan Juan is doing? Her ID shows she's still online, so it shouldn't be a big problem. She's likely being protected by those strange Ghost Crows."

"By the way, where on earth did these Ghost Crows come from?"

In the exclusive guild channel of Zhuang Zhou Meng Die, the players currently protected by the Ghost Crows began to report and exchange information.

"Could it be that some powerhouse from outside saw our guild lose its leader and first vice leader and came to take advantage of the chaos? Do they want to seize our guild?"

"Probably not. If that were the case, there'd be no need to protect us while abandoning other guild members."

"Those who were abandoned had bad reputations anyway. Especially that man with dreadlocks—he's an ungrateful wolf. Those were the people who just went to stage a coup and demand a new leader."

A veteran player who knew some inside information spoke up, and the guild channel immediately exploded with activity.

"That actually happened? What do we do now? Is the guild going to fall into chaos?"

"Should we go help Boss Juan Juan?"

"Actually, I think it'd be great if Boss Juan Juan took over as the Guild Leader. She's professional and experienced. Her combat power is just a bit low, making it easy for others to target her."

"Agreed, but there doesn't seem to be any other way."

Just then, a message from the familiar ID 'Juan Juan' appeared in the guild channel, beginning to calm the members.

Juanjuans Cat Blanket: [Everyone, don't panic. As long as you stay within the Ghost Crows, you won't be in any danger.]

Juanjuans Cat Blanket: [Mo Qi and his group brought people from their pre-merger guild to demand the leadership. The other guild managers were forced to agree, but unfortunately, Mo Qi killed them to silence them and make an example of them.]

Juanjuans Cat Blanket: [The other members attacked Mo Qi out of fear of his character. It's a dog-eat-dog situation, which led to the current mess.]

Despite this powerful string of messages, although Juan Juan didn't say everything explicitly, these words were enough for the final outcome.

"So that's what happened. The Leader just died in battle on Sakura Island, and these people are already trying to take over. How shameless."

"But... isn't anyone curious where the Ghost Crows came from? Boss Juan Juan didn't say. Could she have been... held hostage?"

A few players who happened to be together were protected within a single Ghost Crow storm. After seeing Boss Juan Juan's message, they first felt relieved, then worried again.

True, Mo Qi's group deserved to die for their coup, but... how did Boss Juan Juan survive their attack?

And these eerie Ghost Crows—it was hard not to overthink things.

One player tentatively glanced outside the guild and then checked the guild list. The members who followed Dreadlocks and formed their own cliques had all gone offline. The sounds of fighting everywhere gradually faded into silence.

It's over?

Is it finished?

The players looked at each other, observed for a few more minutes, and after confirming there were no issues, they said, "What do we do now? Should we gather people to check the meeting room?"

While the others were still thinking, the Ghost Crows protecting them began to retreat. Four became two, two became one, quickly returning to their normal state from the multiplied one.

Then, the rapidly decreasing multiplied Ghost Crows gathered together, forming something like a Magpie Bridge. It extended from the second-floor meeting room window and landed on the ground outside.

Then, a Cloud-patterned Golden Crane Gilded Cloak, accompanied by the tinkling of beads, came into view. The newcomer wore a set of god-tier equipment, looking like a goddess descending to earth, too noble to look at directly.

A half-hollow, half-carved Golden Folding Fan was held in her hand, exuding luxury. Most importantly... this face, and this gold-rimmed hollow butterfly mask, told everyone exactly who she was!
