Chapter 693: Chapter 694 Unable to Go Against One’s Heart! (Congratulations to the ’Abyss Moon Night’ Alliance Hierarch! 11/11)

"Please give me a Heavenly Talisman," Chu You softly said, while Bao’er curiously looked around.

Soon, Bao’er’s gaze collided with those of Green Lantern Ning and Lingxi. A puzzled expression appeared on Bao’er’s face, as the two women kept their eyes on her and her brother.

Green Lantern Ning gave Bao’er a slight smile, calm and composed.

Lingxi, on the other hand, remained impassive, her expression enigmatic.

"That would be 10,000 Gold Coins, brave one," the NPC selling the Heavenly Talisman responded.

Thus, Chu You handed over 10,000 Gold Coins to complete the transaction. After receiving the Heavenly Talisman, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Green Lantern Ning and her group were moving towards him.

"Excuse me, are you preparing to establish a guild?" Lingxi and Green Lantern Ning approached Chu You. It was Lingxi who spoke, her gaze sharp, her voice mellifluous.

Seeing Chu You’s puzzled look, the NPC at one side stepped in to introduce, "Hero, this is our Deputy City Lord of Jiangxia City, Lingxi."

Lingxi courteously smiled at Chu You.

"Oh, so you’re Lingxi. I saw your announcement earlier. Yes, I’m indeed planning to establish a guild," Chu You responded with a slight smile, his gaze lingering on Green Lantern Ning for a brief moment before moving on.

"May I ask what your name is?" Lingxi’s beautiful eyes shimmered, brimming with expectation.

"My ID is: Tian Chu Lit Night."

Upon hearing Chu You’s name, Lingxi slightly tilted her head as if trying to convey something to Green Lantern Ning.

"Tian Chu Lit Night? Nice to meet you. As the Deputy City Lord of Jiangxia City, I invite you to establish your guild within our jurisdiction. Establishing a guild here would allow you to enjoy certain benefits and consideration from the Jiangxia City authorities."

"Oh? What kinds of benefits and consideration?"

"For instance, your guild will receive a discount when buying things in Jiangxia City. Or, if you’re being bullied, you can seek our assistance!" Lingxi’s explanation was rather brief, but there were obviously many more factors involved.

"So there are such benefits?"

"Of course."

"And what would our obligations be?"

"Your obligation would be to respond to our official summons when necessary and actively participate in our official events."

"I see," Chu You pretended to understand. But just as he was about to speak, Green Lantern Ning began talking.

"Tian Chu Lit Night, if I’m not mistaken, your real name is Chu You, correct?"

"Aie?" Bao’er was the first to gently exclaim in surprise.

Green Lantern Ning’s eyes sparkled, and she exuded an aura that belied her youth.

Chu You stared at Green Lantern Ning with wide eyes, disbelief painted across his face. Lingxi’s eyes flickered, and she thought to herself that Green Lantern Ning indeed knew this man.

It seems that this man’s appearance doesn’t differ much from his real-life self, thought Lingxi.

"I recognize you, and you have seen me before too, can we add each other as friends?" Green Lantern Ning knew that the person before her was in charge of one of the top 500 corporations and this made her assertion more clear. If Chu You didn’t notice or fail to sense this, at least he’d see that she was neither arrogant nor humble."

At this point, even Bao’er could tell that the lady who spoke, Green Lantern Ning, possessed a more commanding presence than the Deputy City Lord standing next to her. Once Green Lantern Ning began speaking, Lingxi quieted down. The boundary between the primary and the secondary was clear.

Chu You blinked his eyes, "I have seen you before?"

Green Lantern Ning nodded, "Yes."

"Who are you then, don’t leave me in the dark."

"Well, I’m not in a position to disclose that now due to work-related reasons. By the way, is your Tianchu Group planning to set foot in ’Celestial World’?"

"What kind of work? Well... yes, I think we plan to do so, just mostly for fun."

At this point, Lingxi cut in. She sensed something amiss, "Sister Ning, is this man your close friend in reality?" Her voice was full of awe, which was quite intentional. From the look of it, Qing Dengning valued the man in front of her greatly and wanted to become friends with him in the game. However, it seemed that he wasn’t paying attention to her friend request and was instead busy asking questions. This just wouldn’t do!

She had to make him realize that Qing Dengning’s status in the game was even higher than hers - the Deputy City Lord!

Qing Dengning didn’t respond, only nodding lightly at Chu You.

Getting her answer, Lingxi’s gaze towards Chu You subtly shifted, becoming somewhat ingratiating.

"Should I call you Tian Chu or Li Ye? Regardless, if your guild is willing to expand in Jiangxia City, our city’s officials will undoubtedly provide strong support due to your relationship with Sister Ning."

"Oh?" Chu You seemed surprised, his gaze turned to Qing Dengning again. The latter glanced at Lingxi in return.

"Uh, may I ask where are you two high-ranking officials in reality?"

"Genesis!" answered Lingxi calmly, her eyes becoming somewhat mysterious.

At this point, if Chu You continued playing dumb, it would be quite unbecoming of a competent corporate leader.

"Oh~!" Chu You pretended to suddenly understand, his tone mild yet weird, nodding, "It’s indeed an honor to meet you." He then sent friend requests to Qing Dengning and Lingxi.

Meanwhile, his gaze towards Qing Dengning shifted into suspicion. This was intentional on Chu You’s part, as he wanted her to know that he might have a clue about her real identity.

Thus, the three of them became friends in the game. However, upon seeing the newly appeared avatar in their friend list, the two women’s gaze shifted. The new friend had his information hidden, showing only a name, with no other details on display.

"Chu You, you will find out who I am someday. As for her," Qing Dengning smiled, her gaze landing on Bao’er, "Is she your girlfriend?"

Bao’er blinked, turning to Chu You with her heart pounding in a way she didn’t quite understand.

Chu You looked at Bao’er too, and when their eyes met, he found himself unable to utter the words he initially intended to - "She’s my sister."

Bao’er WAS his girlfriend and he DID deeply love her. So why should he lie in front of her?

For reasons unknown, Chu You’s thoughts were suddenly thrown into a whirl. But that hesitant look in his eyes disappeared quickly.

However, Qing Dengning caught that fleeting glimpse of hesitation in Chu You’s eyes.

Chu You licked his lips and nodded, "Yeah."

That word, the content, hit Bao’er like a thunderbolt, stirring her calm heart into a tumultuous storm. She felt as though she was suffocating, unable to breathe.

Her small form trembled slightly. Bowing her head, her once focused gaze now became scattered. She didn’t know where to look.

Qing Dengning nodded, her face showing nothing unusual, "I see. You can go back to your things."

"Alright, I will take my leave, then." Chu You naturally held Bao’er’s hand and walked towards the exit, eventually disappearing.

It seemed like Lingxi sensed something, but she couldn’t quite put a finger on it. Seeing Qing Dengning still looking towards the door, she decided to ask about Chu You.

"Sister Ning, who is he in Tianchu Group?"

"His name is Chu You."

"Hmm, never heard of him."

"He is the actual leader of Tianchu Group."

"What?!" Lingxi’s eyes widened in shock and she felt a dawning realization.
