Wang Jinghao had barely left when the morale of the Eternal Guild crumbled, and its members scattered like birds and beasts.
The Moon Shadow Guild emerged victorious, and the Yan Yu Plains echoed with the cheers of countless girl players.
This battle marked the first large-scale guild war since the launch of Tale of Immortal.
Despite having the most members and top players, the Eternal Guild was defeated by the all-girls Moon Shadow Guild.
Although Lin Jichen played a crucial role, it couldn't be denied that the Moon Shadow Guild, composed entirely of girls, demonstrated its boundless potential through their actions.
As the battle ended, Jiang Luoyu, covered in blood, arrived with Su Wanling, while Lin Jichen descended with Ren Lan and Gu Qiuxue.
"Thanks again for your help, Boss Lin. I owe you another big favor," Jiang Luoyu said, her face showing signs of fatigue but her spirit high, her tone filled with victory and playfulness.
Winning against the Eternal Guild made her ecstatic.
Lin Jichen smiled calmly and said, "We're friends; there's no need to talk about favors. I've always found the Eternal Guild annoying."
"By helping us this time, you've definitely made an enemy of the Eternal Guild. Be careful; Wang Jinghao is a very insidious person," Jiang Luoyu warned.
Lin Jichen nodded, "I'll be careful."
He had considered this risk before coming and hesitated about whether to intervene.
But when he saw the Moon Shadow Guild being ambushed, he couldn't hold back and decided to step in.
If he and Jiang Luoyu were mere acquaintances, he would have just watched from the sidelines.
But they had known each other since the game's launch, helping and cooperating with each other, and had become good friends.
Moreover, after that cold war, Jiang Luoyu's candid confession made Lin Jichen regard her as a friend.
When a friend is in trouble, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
As for the Eternal Guild, well, he had a plan to deal with them.
Lin Jichen immediately opened his friends list, found Wang Jinghao's avatar, and sent a message.
"Brother Wang, are you there? I'm really sorry, my girlfriend forced me to step in. You won't be mad at me, right?"
Wang Jinghao didn't reply for a long time, making Lin Jichen wonder if he had been blocked or deleted. Then a three-minute-long voice message came through.
Lin Jichen played it.
"Lin Jichen, you son of ... I'll f*** your mother..."
The opening was filled with expletives, like a confidential telegraph message, heavily laden with curses.
Lin Jichen listened for a few seconds before closing it, shrugging helplessly. Brother Wang was truly furious.
"No matter what, the Moon Shadow Guild owes you a big favor this time. All the Soul Burial Mound equipment left by the Eternal Guild is yours," Jiang Luoyu said.
"How can I refuse such a generous offer?" Lin Jichen chuckled, not one to pass up a good deal.
Jiang Luoyu had already noticed Ren Lan and Gu Qiuxue behind Lin Jichen. She knew Ren Lan but was seeing Gu Qiuxue for the first time.
Seeing Gu Qiuxue for the first time, Jiang Luoyu was slightly amazed.
"Thank you both for your help. These two pieces of equipment are from our guild's warehouse, both Mysterious Grade and golden quality. They're for you."
Jiang Luoyu took out two pieces of equipment, one for a martial artist and one for a healer.
Each piece could easily sell for thousands of Spirit Stones, yet she generously offered them.
"I came to help Little Lin, not you," Ren Lan refused, pouting.
Gu Qiuxue, feeling flattered, quickly waved her hands, "No need, no need. I'm not that strong and didn't help much. No need to waste resources on me."
Seeing the two girls refuse, Jiang Luoyu turned to Lin Jichen, "Aren't you going to introduce us?"
A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.
Jiang Luoyu had her eyes on Gu Qiuxue's potential and wanted to recruit her into the guild.
But Lin Jichen's next words caught her off guard.
"You know Ren Lan. This is my sister, Gu Qiuxue."
Hearing those words, Jiang Luoyu was stunned.
Gu Qiuxue, his sister?
Jiang Luoyu knew that Lin Jichen had deep feelings for his sister.
Her subtle confession before had been gently rejected by Lin Jichen using Gu Qiuxue as an excuse.
Now seeing her in person, Jiang Luoyu felt a mix of surprise and discomfort.
Especially seeing how beautiful Gu Qiuxue was, not much less than herself, with a gentle and serene demeanor.
Such a girl, no wonder Lin Jichen liked her so much.
"President, your ultimate rival has arrived," Su Wanling whispered mischievously to Jiang Luoyu.
Jiang Luoyu pinched her secretly, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Meanwhile, Ren Lan was whispering to Gu Qiuxue.
"Qiuxue, let me tell you, this is a girl Little Lin met online. She likes Lin Jichen a lot and has ulterior motives. You should warn Little Lin that online dating is unreliable."
Ren Lan's goal was to make Gu Qiuxue keep an eye on Lin Jichen, preventing him from being taken away by Jiang Luoyu.
Even though she knew Gu Qiuxue also liked Lin Jichen and was her biggest rival, it didn't matter.
As long as Jiang Luoyu had no chance, it was fine.
Gu Qiuxue glanced at Jiang Luoyu in surprise and then couldn't help but smile, "You're overthinking it. It's normal for many girls to like Little Chen. The more outstanding a man is, the more he attracts women. Little Chen knows what he's doing."
Ren Lan smiled bitterly, thinking that this sister was indeed the biggest winner. Wasn't she worried at all?
What if Lin Jichen was taken away by another woman? Where would she cry then?
"Hello, I'm Jiang Luoyu. Nice to meet you. Lin Jichen often talks about you, saying he has the best sister in the world," Jiang Luoyu greeted Gu Qiuxue.
Gu Qiuxue smiled and shook hands, "I'm Gu Qiuxue. If you're Little Chen's friend, then you're my friend too. In the game, if my Little Chen needs anything, please take care of him."
Jiang Luoyu's expression was subtle, unable to refute the phrase "my Little Chen."
Those words alone were a victory...
Fortunately, Jiang Luoyu was mentally prepared and could accept it. She smiled, "Don't worry, I will. Since you're Little Chen's sister, I'll call you sister too. Are you interested in joining Moon Shadow? If you come, I'll give you a grand welcome."
Gu Qiuxue blushed and quickly declined, "No need. I'm just a novice player and won't join a guild."
Seeing this, Jiang Luoyu didn't insist, "Alright, but if you ever want to join a guild, you're always welcome at Moon Shadow. You can name your conditions."
After chatting for a while, the Moon Shadow members had finished cleaning up the battlefield.
Jiang Luoyu kept her promise and gave all the spoils to Lin Jichen.
Lin Jichen accepted them all.
