Facing Su Chen's inquiry.
Su Jinyan frowned slightly: "Uncle, what do you an by that?"
Sitting at the desk, Su Chen stared closely at the computer.
On the screen was the ranking information of the Linhai City Professional Competition.
"I admit, before this, not only but many people in the three major guilds thought that Zhang Yue was just a kid with no background or status. Influenced by the Chen Jun incident, I even looked down on him a bit."
"Until recently, the news that the Tian family sent Zhang Yue a betrothal gift worth tens of millions but was rejected has spread all over Linhai City."
"Soone valued by the Tian family must not be simple. And from the global professional competition rankings, Zero is currently in the top ten of the province's honor points ranking. At this rate, the provincial championship will be a breeze for him. He might even stand out in the national challenge and advance to the world finals. By then, his fa will resound throughout the entire Dragon Country, even the world."
Su Jinyan heard the implied aning in Su Chen's words and asked, "Uncle, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Su Chen looked at Su Jinyan and said seriously, "I can tell that you've been getting close to that beast tar Zhang Yue lately. With your appearance, have you ever thought that he rejected the Tian family because of you?"
"Uncle, you're overthinking." Su Jinyan imdiately retorted, "How could Zhang Yue possibly reject the Tian family because of ? Who am I, and who is the Tian family's young lady?"
Su Chen said, "Xiaoyan, your father passed away early. You and Xiaoya have been raised by . I can see that you like Zhang Yue."
Su Jinyan's face instantly turned red.
Su Chen continued, "What if Zhang Yue also happens to like you? So, he rejected the Tian family because of you."
Su Jinyan finally understood, "So, Uncle, you're saying that since Zhang Yue's status and fa are rising, you want to get close to Zhang Yue and use him to boost our Misty Rain Pavilion's developnt?"
Su Chen sighed and said, "To be honest, our Misty Rain Pavilion's performance in this competition has been terrible. At this rate, we might drop to seventh in the provincial rankings by the end of this year's professional competition."
"Now, the only one who can save our Misty Rain Pavilion is Zhang Yue."
"Uncle thought that since you have feelings for him and he might have feelings for you, why not..."
Su Jinyan, who had endured humiliation for so long, finally couldn't take it anymore and exploded, "I respect you as my elder, so I've never contradicted you in anything."
"First it was Chen Jun, then Wu Haotian, and now Zhang Yue. You keep using as a stepping stone for the Misty Rain Pavilion. Isn't that enough?"
Su Chen didn't think any of his decisions were wrong, "You are the president of the Misty Rain Pavilion. Every action you take must be based on the guild's interests. Understand?"
"Fine! From now on, I quit the Misty Rain Pavilion."
"As for the guild president, find soone else to take the position."
After saying that, Su Jinyan turned around and left in a fit of anger.
Walking along the streets of Linhai City, Su Jinyan had no idea where to go next.
One thing she was sure of—she didn't want to go back to the Su family anymore.
The Su family had only brought her repression and suffocation.
At this mont, Su Jinyan suddenly thought of soone.
She picked up her phone, opened a rarely used social app [Penguin], and sent a ssage to her only friend there, [Xiao Xiao Xin]: "Xin Xin, can I stay at your place for a few days? I want to clear my head and don't want to stay at ho anymore."
Dingdong!
Despite knowing each other online for three years, Xiao Xiao Xin, as always, instantly replied whenever Su Jinyan needed her: "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your family? Sure, Su Su, when will you co?"
"Where are you? Can I co find you now?"
After a pause, Xiao Xiao Xin replied, "Didn't you ntion before that you're in Linhai City? Coincidentally, I have sothing to do there soon. How about I co find you instead? We can stay at a hotel together. How's that?"
"Alright," Su Jinyan replied.
They had t online three years ago.
Though they had never t in person or even knew each other's real nas, they always called each other [Xiao Xiao Xin] and [Xiao Xiao Su]. They were as close as sisters, always supporting each other in tis of need.
During the three years of being afflicted by the Cursed Body, if not for Xiao Xiao Xin's constant companionship and comfort, Su Jinyan might not have held on.
Thus, Su Jinyan arrived at the hotel early, sent Xiao Xiao Xin her location, and logged into the alternate world.
anwhile, on the other side...
After defeating the Fifth World's boss, Zhang Yue and his team imdiately advanced to the Sixth World.
[Ding~ Welco to the Sixth World of the Otherorld: The Realm of Death. Your current safe zone is [City of Ice and Snow]]
[Note: This area is the shared login location for all professional competitors in Zhening Province]
Accompanied by the system prompt, Zhang Yue's five-mber team landed in a city covered in ice and snow.
A chill swept in from all sides.
Wu Haotian couldn't help but shiver: "Why is it so cold? Feels like we've entered an ice cellar."
"Didn't you read the Sixth World guide?" Ouyang Ling'er, enjoying the coolness with a satisfied expression, said, "It's not cold enough; how else would it freeze corpses?"
"Co-corpses?" Ning Tiantian clutched her staff tightly, frightened.
Looking around, they could indeed see frozen human corpses scattered throughout the city's streets, frozen in their last monts as if a snowstorm had enveloped them.
