 Chapter 3.1 – Great Master is looking for sponsors

(1) No misunderstanding

After the wedding, Yao Yuan did not go online for a  couple of days, first of all, she had a lot of school work at this time. Second, the words Great Master Jun Lin Tian Xia said made her feel a little afraid to go on the game.

She really saved him before?

There were many people she saved in the game, so she really didn't remember that she saved this Great Master. Or when he was playing with Xiao Hao he saw injustice so came out to help? But truthfully, helping in the game really isn't anything much.

During this time, Yao Xin Ran still called and asked: "Ah Mi told me, World Clan's people all call you sister-in-law? What is going on between you and Jun Lin Tian Xia?"

Yao Yuan laughed bitterly: "I also have no idea."

However, in truth, the 'saving' Jun Lin Tian Xia alluded to did not happen in the game.

Yao Yuan once again logged into the game. It had already been a week since the wedding, she thought the gossip would have almost subsided. Indeed no one came to gossip about her, but there were many people surrounding her to attack her!

Recently in the game, why is everything not going well?

The people attacking her were Hundred Flower Hall's eternal enemies, the Ice Cream Family. This animosity naturally started because of the cousin who lives by 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth [1]'. Yao Yuan couldn't remember, did her cousin steal their monster or maybe kill their clan's beauty?

[1] 快意恩仇 (kuai yi en chou) (ie. 有恩报恩,有仇报仇) means that she will repay grace with gratitude and take revenge on those who have wronged her.

Although Miss Yao is very powerful and capable, the opponent outnumbered her. Their additional equipment wasn't bad either. It was basically impossible for her to win.

Zou Na Shi Na: "Elder Wen, I saw the Clan Mistress being surrounded!"

Luo Shui: "Bullying by outnumbering her? The thing I can't overlook the most is this kind of action. Report the coordinates, I'll go over to eldest sister-in-law and kill them."

When Yao Yuan was fighting to the point where her fingers almost cramped up, a bunch of boastful players came out of the surroundings. Two of them rushed forward and helped her kill the enemy, quickly reversing the situation. Yao Yuan took some time to read their ID, Luo Shui, Xiong Ying Yi Hao, World Clan's…

Ice Cream Family had already lost half its players. After the remaining players, one by one, stopped fighting, Yao Yuan's group also stopped. They weren't ruthless.

Mei Gui Bing Qi Lin (Rose Ice Cream): "World Clan, what is the meaning of this?!"

Watching the fight from the outside,Wen Ru Yu was waving the feather fan and said: "Sorry, Mei Gui Clan Leader, you are bullying our Clan Mistress, of course we will have to kill you ^_^"

Why was he smiling so coquettishly while saying these words, Yao Yuan thought to herself.

Mei Gui Bing Qi Lin: "Wen Ru Yu, don't be such bullies!"

Wen Ru Yu: "Our power is indeed great ^_^"

Yao Yuan didn't want her issues to implicate other people, "Mei Gui Bing Qi Lin, If you need to take revenge, find me. I am willing to fight, don't involve other people."

Luo Shui: "Sister-in-law is very bold!"

Xiang Cao Bing Qi Lin (Vanilla ice cream): "Ruo Wei Jun Gu, you really think we wouldn't dare touch you?! I will fucking kill you every time I see you!"

The next second, Xiang Cao Bing Qi Lin was killed!

And the one who killed the person was none other than the one who just arrived at the scene, whose force was faster than lighting Jun Lin Tian Xia, "It's the Ice Cream Family right? You can scram."

Luo Shui: "Clan leader has come."

Ice Cream Family's inner thoughts: "Damn!"

World Clan's many inner thoughts: "Handsome!!!!!"

Players who were passing by: "Wow!"

Yao Yuan: "Uh!"

Should say that he is arrogant and has no regard for other people….. yet Yao Yuan looks from afar with awe.

Ice Cream Family's people surprisingly did not really continue to be involved and left while bickering. Yao Yuan was amazed. She secretly glanced at Jun Lin Tian Xia beside her. In her heart she thought, they should withdraw completely too.

Yao Yuan was withdrawing when Xiong Ying Yi Hao suddenly blocked her way.

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: “Sister in Law, we should PK one time. Please!"

The female player, Bao Bei, standing beside Wen Ru Yu spoke out: "Brother Xiong Ying, sister Ruo is our Clan Mistress, so she will not fight with ruffians like you. Right sister Ruo?

What "Clan Mistress"? It's a joke but also, enough is enough. "I am not your… Clan Leader's wife. If Xiong Ying Yi Hao wants to PK with me, I am willing but I have no time today." Not just "no time", if I knew earlier that this would happen I would not have come online.

Luo Shui: "Clan Leader has been neglected… afterwards, brother Xiong Ying received all the attention?"

Yao Yuan was very nervous, "Thanks for everyone's help just now. We will meet again someday. " After politely relaying her thanks, she left without staying for a few more seconds.

Leaving the crowd of World Clan members staring at the sky.

Luo Shui: "Our Boss has been completely disregarded by our mistress?"

It is only clear in Yao Yuan's heart, this is her fleeing and fleeing. Regardless of the method, she has finally escaped. Yao Yuan just let out a sigh when she received a private message, "999 gold coins."

Great Master, collecting debt like this, don't you think it will ruin your reputation of a Great Master?

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: "I will definitely repay the debt. Can you give me three day's time?"

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "Right now."

Yao Yuan clenched her teeth, is this repaying a debt of gratitude? Looks like you came to take revenge instead.

Yao Yuan though about it and asked with thick skin: "Jun Lin Clan Leader, last time you said you need to repay your debt of gratitude? Then can these 999 gold coins be your repayment? We can stop owing each other."

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "Oh."

What do you mean by oh?

Yao Yuan started crying again.

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: "Then whatever. Jun Lin Clan Leader, I venture to ask, maybe I misunderstood but…are you planning to…rely [2] on me?" Yao Yuan's was blushing after she asked, what 'rely on me', my brain has short circuited. Should've asked if he's joking with me or not since the two started coming into contact?

[2] 赖 (lai): to depend or rely. This references the chapter's title, Great Master is looking for sponsors. Yao Yuan was basically asking if Jun Lin Tian Xia wanted her to become his sponsor 😛

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "No misunderstanding."

Yao Yuan looked at the computer screen for a while, "This….. what is this about."

That night Yao Yuan decided to distance herself from games for a while.

The next day was Saturday, Yao Yuan went to Yao Yin Ran's residence. Yao Yuan lived alone because her parents had already passed away. Yao Xin Ran was fed up with her mom's constant nagging about marriage so she ran out to live alone.

After lunch, Yao Yuan originally wanted to go shopping with her cousin but was unexpectedly forced to sit in front of the computer.

Yao Yin Ran: "You use the notebook, I'll use the desktop. Help me complete a quest."

Yao Yuan objected: "Let's not play, the weather today is so nice, let's go out for a walk.”

The older cousin (Yao Yin Ran) looked at her younger cousin (Yao Yuan) with the expression: (╰_╯)#

The younger cousin looked at her older cousin with the expression: X﹏X

Yao Yuan logged on to the game once again. Afterwards, not even two minutes later, came a private message. Jun Lin Tian Xia: "You came?"

"…" This weekend is so nice, this Great Master didn't go outside for some fresh air?"

Actually, he just came back from getting some fresh air at a banquet. Just arrived home and he received a text message: "She's going online now." So the Great Master also went online.

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "Where are you? I'll come over and find you."

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: "Ah? No, don't, I need to help my friend complete a quest."

Since she put it like this, he should…

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "What friend? I'll help you. Ah, someone in my clan saw you, I'll come over now."

Great Master, exactly how big is your clan? You have clan members everywhere?

So after getting the coordinates, the Great Master quickly transported to Ruo Wei Jun Gu's side. Then, the cousin who was pacing by Ruo Wei Jun Gu's side asking why she wasn't moving also stopped moving. "Am I seeing things? Jun Lin Tian Xia? How is he here?"

Jun Lin Tian Xia sent a private message to Yao Yuan: "Which quest do you need to complete?"

Yao Yuan didn't have a chance to reply, because her cousin suddenly realized: "You really hooked up with him?!"

Yao Yuan was nervous, "I didn't hook up."

Shui Shan Xian: "Jun Lin Clan Leader, what's the matter?"

After a moment, a message popped up. Jun Lin Tian Xia: "Ask Ruo [3]."

[3] Ruo: Ruo Wei Jun Gu, his new "pet name" for her? 😀

Yao Xin Ran kept shaking her head and howled to her cousin beside her: "You're still saying that you haven't hooked up!"

Yao Yuan was speechless [4].

[4] 百口莫辩 (bai kou mo bian): even if she had 100 mouths, she still couldn't explain.

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: "This quest's level of difficulty isn't high, you…"

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "I'm free."

After forming the three person team, Yao Yuan bit the bullet and introduced: "Cousin, this is Jun Lin Tian Xia. Jun Lin Clan Leader, this is Shui Shang Xian."

Shui Shang Xian: "…"

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "Hello there."

Yao Xin Ran sighed to her cousin: You, don't forget to come back and tell me what happened [5]."

[5] 前因后果 (qian yin hou guo): cause and effect, 前因 means causes or reasons, 后果 means results or consequences

Yao Yuan cries, "You already see this 'fruit’ [6]. I also don't know about this 'cause' [7]."

[6] 果 means fruit but in this case, it references the results/consequences (后果) part of 前因后果 [7] 因 references the causes/reasons (前因) part of 前因后果

Because the original top level expert joined us, we finished Yao Xin Ran's quest in under ten minutes. Yao Xin Ran praised: "This Great Master's title is truly befitting."

Great Master sent a private message: "Is there anything else you need to do?"

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: "Hm, nope, thanks."

Yao Xin Ran watched the two unmoving characters on her screen. Shui Shang Xian: "Jun Lin Clan Leader, if there's anything in the future, you can come find me. Of course, finding Ruo Ruo [8] is also fine! Haha, I'll take my leave first!"

[8] Ruo Ruo: another endearing nickname for Ruo Wei Jun Gu 😀

Yao Yuan turned around and stared at her cousin.

Yao Xin Ran was unaffected by her gaze. "Stop staring, be content, such a high level Great Master is at your disposal. Click click [9], this Jun Lin Tian Xia is truly worthy of his name. If it wasn't for his 'loiterers can leave now' aura, I would stay and admire him a bit more."

[9] Clicking her tongue

Yao Yuan was speechless. She turned her screen around and said: "Well, admire."

Yao Xin Ran laughed aloud, but still tilted her head to look.

On the screen, a silver haired man stood proudly, his hands held a pair of swords that were on par with the Snow Sword [10]. With an imposing aura, overlooking the world.

[10] Snow Sword: a very powerful weapon

Yao Yuan also looked at this god-like person. Suddenly, she was curious, what would the person behind this in-game character look like?

Yes, such experts in online games, in real life… "how old are you?"

Jun Lin Tian Xia replied after a long pause, but sent over some extra information: "28 years old. Opened my own company. Usually, aside from going to work, I will play tennis or go swimming. Knows how to cook. Knows how to use the washing machine. Knows how to repair general home appliances. Doesn't smoke and rarely drinks. Goes home right after work."

Yao Xin Ran, who had been looking over her shoulder, stared dumbfoundedly: "This Great Master, is this blatant self-promotion?"

Yao Yuan was also speechless after seeing this.

Finally replied nervously: "Well then, Great Master, I'll go offline first."
