lting Snow scanned his friend's list until he found his cousin's na and ssaged him asking if he was busy at the mont. A few seconds later his cousin replied with a no and wondered why lting Snow was asking. That's when lting Snow started a video call with him.
Once the video call was opened, lting Snow saw his cousin and started laughing. "Zixuan, what is that all over your face."
"It's just soot from when I was blacksmithing," Zixuan said sheepishly while rubbing the soot off his face. "Also, what did I tell you about calling my real na inside of the ga."
"I'm sorry, Soul." His cousin's full avatar na was Nascent Soul but lting Snow always felt that it didn't roll off the tongue and just called him, soul.
"Was there anything you wanted to talk about?" Nascent Soul asked concerned. "You don't usually video call ."
"Do you know soone nad Li Ming?" lting Snow said getting straight to the point. A frown appeared as he thought about that scheming woman.
Seeing how serious his cousin seed, Nascent Soul thought hard before answering, "That na doesn't seem to ring any bells for . Why do you ask?"
"She is my brother's girlfriend, but she has always been trying to get close to . At first, I thought she wanted to look good in front of my brother, but now I think differently." lting Snow told him.
"Did she do anything improper to you?!" Nascent Soul questioned him worriedly. "You better tell the truth."
Shaking his head quickly, lting Snow said, "No, It's not anything like that. It is not that she is after but you."
Nascent Soul cald down after lting Snow said that but was still concerned, "Why would you think that?
"Because it's true." lting Snow proceeded to tell his cousin about everything that had transpired between him and Rose Lilly a couple of minutes ago. He told him about how she said his real na in that sickeningly loving tone and how she was so sure that his cousin would know her by na.
"You should tell your brother about this." Nascent Soul told him seriously.
lting Snow just rolled his eyes at him and said, "I have been telling my brother about all her sneaky ways, but he just won't listen. He's too in love with her to see the truth of the matter. I don't know what to do."
"If it's like that then there is nothing you can do." Nascent Soul said with a sigh. "I would talk to your brother myself, but you know how it is between us."
"I know, and I always wondered what happened to make him hate you so much." lting Snow said curiously.
"It's funny, now that I think about it. It was because of a girl. It happened when your brother was twelve and I was thirteen. There was a girl that he liked but she didn't like him but ." Nascent Soul said.
"Just because of that, I don't believe it." lting Snow said.
"Well, he confessed in the middle of the classroom and the girl told him in front of all of his classmates that the only reason she was nice to him because she wanted to get close to . This spread across the campus and he was known until he left the academy as second best." Nascent Soul replied his expression unreadably.
lting Snow understood his cousin and he knew that his cousin was very protective of his family. He must have tried to stop the gossip but failed, and because of that incident, it caused his cousin's to hate him. This must-have upset him at that ti. lting Snow also understood his brother's feelings, but at the sa ti was disappointed in him about his bad taste in won, because the sa thing is happening again.
"I will try to talk to my brother once again about her, but if he doesn't listen I will just give up and let him face the consequences of his obliviousness himself." lting Snow said.
"That's all you can do." Nascent Soul said with a slight smile.
"Either way in less than two weeks I will be able to go back to my friend and won't have to deal with this ss." lting Snow smiled just thinking about it.
"You an that dryad I seen in your videos?" Nascent Soul asked.
Just as lting Snow was about to reply a beeping sound was heard it was a ssage from Drifting Cloud.
"Speak of the devil and he shall appear." lting Snow said opening up the ssage. After reading it, he looked visually upset.
"What's wrong?" Nascent Soul asked after seeing lting Snow's face.
"My brother sucks, that's what's wrong. I'm missing out on an adventure because of him." lting Snow said pouting a little.
Laughing, Nascent Soul, "What type of adventure is it, that would make you this upset?
" You don't understand, Drifting Cloud, found a tier 1 treasure map with a gold chain symbol, and I can't join him. He did say I can join him for the next one but still" lting Snow replied sadly.
"It seems, with that type of friend you will never get bored." Nascent Soul said a little curious about Drifting Cloud.
Seeing that his cousin was interested in his friend, lting Snow cheered up a bit and started telling him about all the adventures he had since eting Drifting Cloud. Not knowing the more he talked the more interested his cousin was becoming.
