Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Ji Ling Visits

"Hehe, boys are all here," Third Floor was a chatterbox, as flashy as his ID suggested, flamboyantly noisy.

"Who are you calling brother? I’m a girl," Fourth Floor spoke with a cute girl’s voice, stunning the other three.

"Holy shit, a girl!"

"A female!"

"I remember the last time she played solo top, she was fierce."

The three of them seemed quite shocked.

Hei Yaya: "What, girls can’t play solo top? It’s just you guys who suck, I can’t even carry you all."

"..."

The three of them instantly clamped their mouths shut, afraid to speak. They actually played quite well, but because they had been reckless a few times, they fattened up the opponent, otherwise, even if the expert went AFK, they could have still won.

"Alright, I’m starting."

Just then, Yun Yue’s avatar showed a microphone flashing for a moment, and they looked at her with hopeful eyes, hoping she would help the guys save some face.

Little did they know, her first words outright terrified all four of them.

"Boss, are you using a voice changer?"

"Boss, say something!"

Hei Yaya: "Oh my God, a girl playing jungle is so fierce!"

Her northeastern accent made Yun Yue laugh, her speech quite flavorful.

"Women can’t play jungle?" Yun Yue curled her lips, repeating her previous statement with a question.

"Of course, they can! Really makes us girls proud," Hei Yaya said excitedly.

The three male comrades: "..."

After playing games for so long, it was the first time they were carried by a female player.

The feeling... their faces really hurt.

The group, as if having endless things to say, kept talking nonstop, except for Yun Yue who stopped after her first sentence.

After selecting heroes, they entered the game.

"Mage, clear the lane quickly and come support, support choose the second skill to counter-jungle with me."

She chose to counter-jungle up top, solo top knew how to play, chose good heroes too, could suppress the opponent and could support in time in case of any sudden changes.

"Okay."

They all followed her commands, it seemed she only spoke during combat, otherwise she was silent.

They started with a huge advantage, pushing to the enemy base in the fastest time, the enemy surrendered as soon as the timer ended.

Yun Yue earned them back five stars in just an hour.

Hei Yaya screamed, "Aaah! Boss, do you need an apprentice, how about me? Or are you a professional player? You’re too awesome!"

"Speaking of which, I’m so envious of your skills, just as powerful as my idol Y! No wait, you’re just a tiny bit less good than my idol."

Yun Yue curled her lips, lounged on the couch holding a pillow, lazily hummed in agreement, "Your idol is impressive."

"Hehe, how about we add each other as friends?"

"No thanks, I don’t add strangers on WeChat, I’ve got to go for now." Yun Yue immediately exited the game and saw the time while grabbing her phone and heading to her room.

Today was the day the Golden Net and Black Alliance released their assessment results, so naturally, she had to keep an eye on it.

Only Mo Lingwei and Hou Li entered.

As expected.

She had seen Hou Li’s papers—although he only ranked third in the first round of the assessment, his essays in the later section were better than the second-ranked candidate’s, falling short by only two points.

"Arrange for these two to start their jobs tomorrow, and keep them at your place for now."

Wu Yi sent an ’ok’ emoticon back.

At their current level, they couldn’t access the Golden Net; only senior members had that privilege. Passing the assessment merely earned them an entry ticket.

That day, the Mo Family threw a grand feast, and after spreading the news, everyone learned of Mo Lingwei’s entry into the Black Alliance; no one dared to underestimate the Mo Family anymore.

Mo Huai Zhang and Mo Wanchang finally regained their pride and honor.

In the future, the status of their Mo Family was bound to increase, no longer an insignificant clan. They would now wield some influence.

Yun Yue improved the systems on Moon Island before taking a shower.

Xiao Chen worked late into the night and sneaked into her room, making out the person on the bed under the moonlight outside.

Yun Yue had woken up the moment he opened the door, but she saw him standing motionless at the end of her bed.

Standing there, she didn’t move either, pretending to be asleep. At that moment, time seemed excruciatingly long; she could even hear her own heartbeat, counting each thud.

Xiao Chen stood silently, the dim moonlight casting stark features deeper, his stern jaw clenched, his gaze complex and profound.

Yun Yue didn’t know how long Xiao Chen had stood in her room; she only knew that she had fallen asleep while counting.

In the morning, when she woke up, he had just returned from a morning run, and Yun Yue skillfully poured him a cup of warm water.

Xiao Chen looked up, his adam’s apple sliding up and down. After finishing his drink, he wiped his sweat with a towel, his voice low and magnetic, "Are we visiting Elder Jiang today?"

"Yes, I want to finish before the school starts," she nodded lightly. There were still many things she needed to learn, and after resting for so many days, it was time to return. School was starting in September.

"Alright, I’ll take you there after breakfast," Xiao Chen nodded slightly and turned towards the bedroom.

Xiao Feng, feeling refreshed after soaking in the medicine he prepared yesterday, asked Miss Yun, "That medicine you gave me, it really strengthens the muscles and bones, huh?"

With just one dose, the effect was so apparent.

As Yun Yue ate the dumplings he made, she felt in good spirits and said, "Soak for a week first."

After breakfast, Xiao Chen drove Yun Yue to the Painting Association, then turned to head towards the Xiao Family.

Xiao Family.

The news of the broken engagement between the Xiao and Ji families was known to all. At this moment, seeing Ji Ling appear at the Xiao Family, faces showed curiosity, yet none dared to ask.

Xiao Yisha, accompanied by Ji Ling, walked towards the main hall, "My elder brother isn’t here today. I know what you’re thinking, and I was actually hoping you’d become my sister-in-law, but unfortunately... to be honest, Yun Yue comes from the countryside. What kind of world could she have seen? Even if she’s a disciple of the President of the Painting Association, no family, no background, no education—how could such a woman match my brother?"

Ji Ling smiled slightly; Xiao Yisha’s words struck a chord.

"My father sent me here. Although the betrothal between Xiao Ji and I has been broken, our families are still connected," Ji Ling said with an excuse.

She had come to the Xiao Family without anyone’s knowledge, taking advantage of Xiao Chen’s absence to probe Jiang Qiong’s intentions.

Xiao Yisha saw an elegant woman in the courtyard and a flash of insight crossed her eyes, "Aunt Jiang, Ji Ling is here to see you."

Jiang Qiong’s hand holding the scissors paused, accidentally cutting off a flower. She sighed, "Tsk, what a pity. The flower that was so painstakingly cultivated, gone just like that."

The two women looked at each other—was there a hidden meaning in her words?

She sighed again, then turned to look at the two, noticing Ji Ling’s figure, "Ah, Ji Ling, you seem to have grown thinner since I last saw you."

Ji Ling laughed awkwardly, "Aunt Jiang, you joke, I’ve always been like this."

Jiang Qiong gestured for them to sit and offered them tea, smiling, "Is that so? I just bought some bird’s nest; take some back with you to nourish yourself."
