Earth's Best Gamer Chapter 180 - Guo Xiang's Curiosity

Chapter 180: Guo Xiang’s Curiosity

“Master Ji!”

Guo Polu had inherited Guo Jing’s good nature and level-headedness, so he greeted Ji Ye right away.

“I think I make you sound old by calling you ‘master’. May I call you ‘Brother Ji’?”

Guo Xiang, on the other hand, looked at Ji Ye with her big eyes and spoke in a mischievous tone.

“Sure!”

Ji Ye winked at the girl.

[Guo Xiang (Alignment: Friend)]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-3]

[Rarity: Elite]

[Description: Guo Jing and Huang Rong’s second daughter. She is lively, innocent, sweet-tempered, and very talented in martial arts!]

Compared with Guo Fu, who had cut off Yang Guo’s arm and had an arrogant personality, Guo Xiang, the 15-year-old girl was much more likable to people of the Chidragon.

In this Battlefield of Providence, the projection of this girl was on the weaker side in comparison.

But Ji Ye knew very well that the girl was going to establish the Emei Sect later with the help of her Yitian Sword.

Moreover, the Nine Yang Art of Emei he obtained last time was created by this girl from Nine Yang Divine Art. In that sense, the two of them were acquainted.

“By the way, Brother Ji, do you know Swordsman Condor?”

After exchanging pleasantries, they became a little more familiar with each other. Guo Xiang looked at Ji Ye with her bright eyes and asked the question.

People in the lobby were talking about the heroic deeds of the Swordsman Condor, which had greatly intrigued Guo Xiang.

“Hmph! Swordsman Condor? You make him sound like a hero of some sort!”

Hearing Guo Xiang’s words, Guo Fu didn’t like the mention of that name.

Deep down, she still had a thing for Yang Guo, and when she heard people talk about the Swordsman Condor’s severed arm, she looked pale.

“When will I get to meet him?”

In the conversation with Guo Fu later, Guo Xiang learned that she had met the swordsman before, and the man had even held her in his arms when she was little. After that, she looked forward to meeting him even more.

“Miss, it’s not hard to do that. I’ll show you to him tonight.”

Someone spoke after she asked the question.

In a corner of the lobby, a person who had huddled up and was sleeping suddenly rose to his feet. He wasn’t much taller than 150 cm and had a tiny frame. However, his head, limbs, hands, and feet were much bigger than those of normal people. He looked like a weird doll with a big head.

“Sure. It’s just that I don’t know him. Would it be inappropriate to meet him so out of the blue? I don’t know if he’ll want to meet me.”

Guo Xiang was pleased to hear the news.

“If you don’t meet him today, you may never meet him.”

The strange-looking short man spoke in a strange tone.

“Why?’

Guo Xiang’s eyes widened, and she asked in bewilderment.

“May I know your name?”

Guo Fu rose to her feet and asked in a cautious tone.

“You can’t find another person as ugly as I am. If you don’t know who I am, go back home and ask your parents.”

The strange-looking man snorted.

“Of the Horde of Ghosts of the Western Mountain, nine out of ten are here. Big Head Ghost, Big Head Ghost, what are you waiting for?”

Just then, a voice spoke intermittently in the distance, as if it was drifting in the wind.

It was on and off and everywhere. One moment, it was miles away, and the next moment, it was close by. It seemed to come from all directions, and the effect gave one gooseb.u.mp.

After that, Guo Fu found this big-headed man vile and wanted to stop her sister.

“Even if I run into demons tonight, I have to meet the swordsman. Senior, please take me with you!”

However, out of curiosity and excitement, Guo Xiang still ran out after the man with the big head.

“Sister, come back!”

After Guo Fu got out, the two of them were nowhere to be found.

It was a snowy night, and there was no moon in the sky.

With her cultivation level, she couldn’t see at night as well as in the daytime, so she didn’t know which direction she should go.

“Miss Guo, don’t worry. My master went after them, and he’s going to bring the young Miss Guo back!”

Qin Yueyu, Wu Qiao, and the others came out just then, and they tried to comfort Guo Fu.

“Your Master?”

Guo Fu turned around and saw that Ji Ye, the head of the Twin Dragon Mount, was indeed gone.

The Twin Dragon Mount had been fighting against the Yuan Kingdom for years. Many common people didn’t know much about them, but she had heard about them from her parents.

The battlefield wasn’t the same as a combat arena, and Ji Ye seemed to be quite young. Although Guo Fu had no idea how advanced his cultivation was, since he was able to follow them without letting her notice it, his ability should be adequate.

Moreover, the three of them had come to Fenglingdu under Guo Jing’s command. They were supposed to go to Jinyang to invite Qiu Chuji the Changchunzi, the chief of the Quanzhen Sect, so that he could come to Xiangyang to host the heroes’ conference. They would return to Xiangyang after that.

Now that her sister had run off, Guo Fu could neither report back to her parents nor go after her. Hence, she could only wait for news from Ji Ye.

…

Whoosh!

Ji Ye walked in the snowy night.

Snow was still a form of water, so although Ji Ye hadn’t been trained in the alacrity skill, he was still able to move as fast as a streak of lightning.

When there were obstacles in his way, he would run past them with a flash of yellow light and immediately be three meters away.

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop…

About 500 m ahead of him, about a dozen horses were galloping.

Guo Xiang rode one of the horses, while the man with the big head rode another. Nine people with similar appearance and outfits rode on the rest of the horses.

The ten people were known as the Horde of Ghosts of the Western Mountain.

The one that took Guo Xiang away was the Big Head Ghost, who ranked the fifth among them.

Theoretically, with Elder Meng, who knew The Legend of Condor Hero like the back of his hand, the Twin Dragon Mount could have stopped Guo Xiang from following the man.

But they didn’t, because according to Elder Meng, the “ghosts” were going to challenge Yang Guo.

Because the “Fiend Ghost”, the 7th of the ten, had his ears cut off by the Swordsman Condor as a punishment.

This was also the first time Guo Xiang was going to meet Yang Guo, hence the saying that “ever since she met Yang Guo at Fenglingdu, she can’t forget him for the rest of her life”.

In this battlefield, the importance of Yang Guo, the main character of The Legend of Condor Hero, was second to that of Guo Jing and Huang Rong only, so of course they had to make friends with him.

Needless to say, the Battlefield of Providence might not follow the original plot of the book.

Therefore, Ji Ye was prepared for this.

When Guo Xiang didn’t notice, a transparent mask had fused into her body.

Theoretically, even if she were to run into danger, Ji Ye would be able to protect her soul.

After that, with his Healing talent, he would be able to bring her back, no matter how bad she was wounded.

Hence, they didn’t need to worry about answering to Guo Jing and Huang Rong, should anything happen to Guo Xiang.

Whoosh!

But he didn’t follow too closely.

Instead, he used the bond between himself and the mask and followed the horses from 500 m away.
