330 Guesses
Su Ming’s straightforward words and calm expression made Shen Fang feel a little confused.
He first frowned, then focused his gaze on Su Ming for a long time before he shook his head.
“Yes, I do have some guesses in my heart.” In an instant, Shen Fang lifted his head and fixed his gaze on Su Ming.
“Some time ago, the top player in the game, Traceless Snow, was being chased and blocked by the Lin Guild formed by the top family, the Lin family. In that conflict, Traceless Snow suffered a huge loss, which made the Lin Guild famous.”
After a slight pause, Shen Fang’s gaze fell on Su Ming again, sizing him up.
“However, only a few days after this incident, the Lin Guild suffered a terrifying revenge. In just one night, the originally powerful guild almost instantly fell into a situation of collapse and defeat.”
“They couldn’t even find a way to resist before they were beaten to the point of extinction by a powerful force. Within a few hours, the number of people in the Lin Guild went from tens of thousands to less than a few hundred.”
“Their levels have also dropped drastically under the corpse guarding of that powerful force.”
Shen Fang’s voice was very calm, and spoke in a detached manner.
However, throughout the entire process, his gaze remained fixed on Su Ming. His gaze was unwavering.
During this process, Su Ming’s expression did not change at all. He was as calm as a puddle of still water without any ripples.
When Shen Fang saw this, he did not try to probe Su Ming’s identity. Instead, he continued explaining.
“Based on what I know, the person who is commanding this operation seems to be the current number one player, Night Blade.”
When Shen Fang said this, he first paused slightly before continuing, “You should know about Night Blade, right? He’s the top-ranking player.”
“In fact, because he is too different from ordinary players, he is an extremely mysterious existence in the eyes of most players.”
“No one would have thought that Night Blade’s first public appearance would be because of this incident.”
“Therefore, many people are guessing what the relationship between Night Blade and Traceless Snow is. Do they belong to the same force? Or an old friend from the real world?”
“There are many speculations about this, but if I were to take a look, both these reasons should be correct, right?”
When he said those words, Shen Fang’s profound gaze was already fixed on Su Ming, who was standing before him.
His eyes were filled with speculation, but his expression was very certain.
It was as if he had already confirmed some facts and he had come to find Su Ming this time just to make one last confirmation.
The atmosphere between the two of them fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Su Ming lifted his head again and looked at Shen Fang, who was standing before him.
“So, you’ve come to find me this time to confirm your own conjecture about this matter?”
When Shen Fang heard this, he nodded his head slightly, but his gaze was still fixed on Su Ming.
However, what surprised him was that Su Ming did not say anything and went along with what he was saying. Instead, he fell into silence again.
Shen Fang first looked at Su Ming with a slightly resigned look, then he sighed softly and said, “I’ve already made things so clear, can’t we be more honest and direct with each other?”
When Su Ming heard Shen Fang’s question, he first let out a light chuckle before he said, “What do you mean honest and direct?”
Shen Fang shook his head, as if he was slightly angered by Su Ming’s attitude.
“Honest and direct? Honestly, you are actually Night Blade, aren’t you?!”
When Shen Fang said these words, he kept his gaze fixed on Su Ming, who was standing before him, observing every single change in his expression.
However, it was a pity that even under his intense gaze, Su Ming’s expression did not change.
He was still very calm and did not have much of a reaction.
“Oh, really? How come I didn’t know about this?”
Shen Fang was rendered speechless by Su Ming’s answer. He was first stunned, then he glared at Su Ming.
“I don’t think it’s necessary. I’ve already made it so clear, do you still have to hide it from me?”
When Su Ming heard that, he first cast a noncommittal glance at Shen Fang, then said, “I think… Some things need not be said so clearly, right?”
Su Ming’s tone was calm, but there was also a hint of hidden meaning in his words.
This caused Shen Fang to be slightly stunned at first, then he quickly reacted, his expression instantly changing.
After staring at Su Ming for a while, Shen Fang nodded his head slightly.
“I understand what you mean. If that’s the case, then I can roughly understand why Shen Yi must follow you.”
“But… Haven’t you considered cooperating with me?”
When Su Ming heard this, he immediately lifted his eyes and stared at Shen Fang.
Before he rushed to the appointment this time, he had roughly guessed Shen Fang’s intentions, as well as the fact that he might have guessed his identity.
Even under such circumstances, Su Ming still chose to go to the appointment. This was because he already had some things he wanted to find out from Shen Fang’s conversation.
“Cooperation… I do have something to ask you.”
When he heard Su Ming’s words, Shen Fang’s expression instantly brightened, and he fixed his gaze in Su Ming’s direction.
“Tell me, what is it?”
When Su Ming heard Shen Fang’s question, he fell into a moment of silence before he said, “To what extent is your cooperation with the Extraterrestrials?”
“According to what you said to Shen Yi before, it seems that as long as Shen Yi joins your camp, you will definitely be able to guarantee her safety.”
“Also, according to your previous attitude of looking for partners among the player group, there should be quite a number of top players under your command in the game, right?”
When Su Ming brought Lin Can to meet Shen Fang, he had already seen a top-class player who followed behind Shen Fang like a lackey.
Once Shen Fang heard Su Ming’s words, he immediately fell into silence, just like how Su Ming reacted when he asked him the question just now.
After a short while, he let out a long breath and spoke again.
“Yeah, I have quite a number of top players under me.”
“How many?”
“There are about a dozen of them in total. They’re basically in the top 80 of the player rankings.”
