Samsara Online-Novel

"Young Master Nangong, Young Master Yang, Miss Gu... A pleasure to see you all once again". Yao Zenyu nodded politely to everyone. Then, with a confused look, he asked, "But, there is something I don’t understand and I wonder if you could clear up my doubt?... Why are you all reunited here?"

Yang Tian was the first to respond. He rolled his eyes and scoffed, "Tsk, stop acting like you don’t know anything and wipe that snake smile off your face. Can’t you see that we are about to fight? Everyone here is smart enough to know what you’re going to do next anyway."

Yao Zenyu’s smile did not disappear at Yang Tian’s comment, he simply shook his head and said calmly, "Although I don’t know why, your Yang family has been quite rampant before the last year." Yao Zenyu’s gaze cooled slightly and continued, "It seems that someone must teach you a lesson so that you remember the beatings I gave you when we were still children."

Yao Zenyu’s words had just ended when another commotion occurred among the crowd which now increased to several hundred players. A group of about fifty people was quietly approaching step by step. These people were all female players and a beautiful woman was leading them one step ahead.

Before everyone can recover from their surprise, a mature and charming voice resonated through the place:

"Wow, it seems like everyone was really having fun here. Hehe... I wonder if I’m invited?"

An extremely beautiful woman with black hair, dressed in a sky blue wizard’s tunic and a silver scepter was followed by over fifty female players.

"Mu Wuying..." Xie Yao murmured in a low voice.

Mu Wuying was the leader of a powerful guild called Deep Heart. Although they were not among the top fifty in China, they were among the top one hundred. Besides, her guild only recruited female members!

With this, almost all the elites of the level table had gathered in the same place!

The arrival of the group of fifty players led by Mu Wuying made Yang Tian frown. Things were already bad for him after Yao Zenyu arrived with over a hundred players, but now another person with unknown intentions had arrived on the scene.

However, Yang Tian was not the only one with a frown, Nangong Lei was the same. He didn’t know which side Mu Wuying would be on, although he had an idea.

"Ah, Wuying. I thought I would have to wait until my dear little sister’s birthday to see you... I am glad to see you before," Yao Zenyu smiled like a true gentleman.

Upon seeing this, Yang Tian’s face fell. Although he did not know the reason, his father told him that he should respect and if it was possible to protect a girl named Xie Yao, therefore, Yang Tian had no choice. He imperceptibly gestured to the person on his right.

The player nodded silently and retreated to the back of the group unnoticed before starting to use his communication tool to call more players.

Mu Wuying completely ignored Yao Zenyu. She looked at Xie Yao for a moment in silence before nodding slightly in greeting. Then she said nothing else and stood there silently, as if waiting for something.

Being ignored, Yao Zenyu was not in the least angry. Instead, he shook his head with a helpless smile and said, "Although I know you can’t love anyone in this life after what happened in the past, maybe you should try. You also know that you have no other choice, right?"

Mu Wuying finally looked at him. She had that slight smile that characterized her and said in a mysterious tone: "We’ll see... We will see."

Mu Wuying’s words, as well as her tone of voice, caused Yao Zenyu to frown for a split second before returning to normal. With a smile that is difficult to describe, he shook his head and did not continue the theme. Instead, he looked at Nangong Lei and said:

"I hope you don’t mind if I manage Yang Tian and his group..."

Nangong Lei smiled slightly: "Have fun. I just want to release my anger at that girl over there". His last words were pronounced as he looked at Xie Yao with a clearly irritated look.

Seeing this, Mu Wuying frowned slightly. Although she did not know Nangong Lei very well, they had met several times and he always wore a polite smile on his face, even when other people made him angry, he always smiled. Of course, Mu Wuying did not know what he was doing with these people later, but it was rare for her to see Nangong Lei expressing irritation openly.

However, just as Mu Wuying opened her beautiful red lips to try to mediate, a cold voice sounded in the crowd:

"Oh? What interesting words you just said."

Although there was a large crowd of players that had formed due to the arrival of influential figures, the news continued to spread like a virus throughout the Internet; it was unstoppable. However, there was a very large area in the center that was free of "normal" players. In that zone were the less than two hundred players of the four groups led by Yang Tian, Nangong Lei, Yao Zenyu, and Mu Wuying.

When they looked at the source of the voice, some had annoying looks, others a confused look. Only Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Mu Wuying sighed with relief.

"Where have I heard that voice before...?" Yang Tian whispered under his breath.

The players created a commotion, some of them started shouting:

"H-hey! Look at the name on his head!"

"Shiva!"

"Damn it! Are all the elites really gathering here? Does anybody know what happened?"

"Number 1 on the level list, number 1 on the prestige list, the first player to beat Despair mode in The Beginner’s Village, and the first player to kill a mob grade EMPEROR!"

"That mask looks great!"

The person who had arrived was naturally Xie Feng, who had come out of the abyss. At this point, Xie Feng made his name public to everyone, and the players who saw him walking created a path automatically for him to pass through.

From the point of view of others, he was like Moses opening the seas and passing through without obstruction.

Bronze armor, bronze earrings, bronze boots, bronze gloves, silver shoulder pads; although most were low level equipment compared to Xie Feng’s level, each piece of equipment could make any player drool over them.

However, what most caught the players’ attention was the strange two-color mask on his face. Most of the masks are just decorations to protect the players’ identity, in other words; no stats. However, the mask that Shiva possessed was undoubtedly a special mask with stats.

The arrival of Xie Feng caused Yao Zenyu to frown slightly for a moment before smiling again, no one knew what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Nangong Lei seemed indifferent, as if nothing had changed at all.

Xie Feng approached Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue, ignoring everyone. He gave her an apologetic look: "Yaoyao, sorry I’m late."

"It’s okay, you’re just in time," Xie Yao shook her head with a beautiful smile that was barely visible, but enough to make all the men dizzy with its beauty.

Xie Feng also smiled, but his smile was not visible as Two Faces was a full-face mask. Then he looked at Yang Tian and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Thank you for helping my little sister."

Yang Tian was stunned, then, as if he remembered something he said aloud: "Man I remember you! You’re that ungrateful man who refused my request for friendship in Beginner’s Village!"

Xie Feng almost fainted. How is he ungrateful? Even though Yang Tian’s help was almost non-existent for him, Xie Feng still gave him almost all the loot he got after killing those ten players!

"Eh? Wait a moment..." Suddenly Yang Tian’s eyes opened wide and he said incredulously: "Is she your little sister?"

Only now Yang Tian realized that he had just called ungrateful the person that his father explicitly told him to treat respectfully!

Xie Feng rolled his eyes and stopped paying attention to Yang Tian. He realized that this guy was all muscle and no brain.

Xie Feng looked at Nangong Lei coldly and asked indifferently, "Just a moment ago, what did you say? I thought I heard you say something like you wanted to deal to my little sister? How about repeating those words again?"

His words were full of arrogance and he clearly did not put Nangong Lei in his eyes. From everyone’s point of view, it was as if Shiva was talking to a little ant that he could casually crush with a foot stomp.

Mu Wuying was the only one who smiled funny, the rest of the players looked at Xie Feng as if he was a madman. Didn’t he know that Nangong Lei had millions of players at his back, ready to listen to his orders?

Some players were even disappointed to see that the legendary Shiva, full of mystery in everyone’s mind, was a lunatic.
