"Wow! Little Lin, who is this stunning beauty? She's absolutely gorgeous!"
Ren Lan exclaid in awe the mont she saw Jiang Luoyu.
Lin Jichen had no choice but to introduce her, "This is Jiang Luoyu, a good friend I t in the ga. She's the president of the Moon Shadow Guild."
Before Lin Jichen could introduce Jiang Luoyu further, Ren Lan eagerly stepped forward to greet her, "Hello, hello! I'm Ren Lan. Are you a celebrity?"
Jiang Luoyu smiled gently, "Hello, I'm not a celebrity. Actually, you're very pretty too. Are you Little Chen's... friend?"
Upon hearing the na 'Little Chen,' Ren Lan's expression turned a bit odd but quickly returned to normal.
"Oh, I'm his college best friend and roommate, hehe."
Now it was Jiang Luoyu's turn to have a subtle look in her eyes, but it was only for a fleeting mont.
"I see, nice to et you."
"No, eting you is my pleasure."
The two exchanged smiles and then fell silent.
Lin Jichen suddenly felt the atmosphere beca a bit strange, a chill creeping into his heart.
It was as if two top experts were competing in cultivation and ntal strength, making the surrounding air feel solidified.
No, no, it feels like sothing big is about to happen.
Just as Lin Jichen was wondering where this strange pressure was coming from, it suddenly dissolved, and the atmosphere returned to normal.
"Little Chen, Miss Ren, my guild is still waiting for . I'll go register first, and we can chat later," Jiang Luoyu said proactively.
Ren Lan imdiately responded, "Okay, beautiful sister~"
Lin Jichen could only awkwardly smile at Jiang Luoyu, "Jiang... oh no, Luoyu... you go ahead."
Jiang Luoyu seed very pleased with this address, her face beaming with a smile, "Okay, I'll go now. See you later."
"See you later."
After Jiang Luoyu left, Ren Lan looked at Lin Jichen with a mischievous grin.
"Little Lin, where did you find such a beautiful woman?"
Lin Jichen quickly explained, "You misunderstood, we're just friends."
"Friends? No way, you two are so close. Did you secretly get a new girlfriend?"
Lin Jichen shook his head repeatedly, "You're overthinking it. We haven't known each other for long, just t a few tis while clearing Secret Realms together. She's helped a lot."
"Why are you so nervous? I didn't say you couldn't find a new girlfriend."
Ren Lan's tone was noticeably off when she said this.
She emphasized, "I'm just worried you'll end up with another girlfriend like Guo Jie and get deceived again."
Lin Jichen smiled wryly, "Am I that dumb to find soone like Guo Jie again?"
"That's not certain. I can't guarantee your taste and standards for choosing a partner. Moreover, this is in the ga. Can you take an online girlfriend seriously? You misjudged in real life, let alone in online dating."
"Cough, cough... okay, I get it. I promise I'll be more careful."
Lin Jichen didn't dare argue further on this topic.
"But if you could really date her online, I'd actually admire you. She's a hundred tis prettier than Guo Jie, which ans your taste has improved."
Ren Lan continued to chatter, but Lin Jichen was at a loss for words.
"I told you, you're overthinking it. I'm not in a relationship. After the lesson with Guo Jie, how could I not be more cautious?"
Ren Lan suddenly patted Lin Jichen's shoulder earnestly, "I actually hope you can find a girlfriend."
"???" Lin Jichen was confused, "What do you an?"
"So you won't shift your sexual orientation to the second dinsion."
Ren Lan sighed and looked at Lin Jichen with so sympathy.
"Little Lin, I saw that photo today. I didn't expect you to be so devastated after being hurt by Guo Jie that you shifted your attention to ga NPCs. It's my fault for not guiding you well, letting you stray further into the otaku path and lose interest in real girls."
Lin Jichen: "...."
"You misunderstood, I..."
"No need to explain. Everyone has different ways of dealing with heartbreak. Focusing on virtual characters is better than becoming a pervert. Don't worry, I'm your good buddy; I won't laugh at you."
"I really..."
"Alright, no more talking. Let's go register. So things are better left unsaid."
Ren Lan didn't give Lin Jichen a chance to explain and dragged him to the registration point.
Lin Jichen felt a bitter frustration, almost to the point of internal injury and spitting blood.
In the end, he didn't know how to explain, so he let her think what she wanted.
He couldn't possibly explain that these weren't virtual characters but real people who would appear in the future.
Otherwise, Ren Lan would probably think he had delusions and sent him to the hospital...
The two arrived at the registration point.
Registration was simple, just a matter of signing up.
They smoothly beca temporary soldiers, ready to fight the Demon Sect.
At that mont, the surrounding crowd beca noisy.
"Wow! Look! Who is that?"
"Dressed like Jay Chou's golden armor, is that... Jarvan IV?"
"This guy is so handso!"
"Look at the girl beside him, she's so beautiful!"
"I'm in love, I'm in love!"
...
A group of people erging, surrounded by guards.
Among them, a young man in golden armor sat on the back of a giant beast, looking majestic and imposing.
The beast was enormous, like a lion, exuding an intimidating aura.
So players who had brought pets saw the giant lion beast and their pets cowered behind them in fear.
Beside him, a girl in tight clothing and a leather armor cape also sat on another lion's back.
The girl was stunningly beautiful, with an elegant and noble deanor, captivating millions of male players the mont she appeared.
All the guards and soldiers saluted simultaneously upon seeing the two, shouting in unison, "Greetings, Third Prince! Greetings, Princess!"
The Third Prince nodded solemnly, about to speak, when the Princess suddenly looked at a figure in the crowd of players and exclaid in surprise.
"Young Master Lin! I didn't expect to see you here again!"
The Third Prince paused, then followed her gaze, his expression turning joyful.
He even dismounted from the lion and quickly walked towards the figure in the crowd.
"Brother Lin, long ti no see. Do you still rember ?"
The Princess also arrived, her eyes still filled with admiration.
"Young Master Lin, I owe you my life. I wanted to invite you to the palace to et my father, but you declined. I'm glad to see you again today."
With the Third Prince and the Princess each saying a sentence, the jaws of all the players around them dropped.
Even Ren Lan, standing next to Lin Jichen, was gaping in surprise.
