“Don’t just randomly shout. There are too many people here. You want everyone to know that I’m Night Blade, right?”
Loner shut his mouth in anger.
He naturally knew that Su Ming did not want to reveal his identity as a player, or else he would not have kept it a secret until now.
When Su Ming saw the anger on his face, he shook his head helplessly and asked, “When have I ever lied to you?”
Loner was taken aback at first, then he seemed to be laughing in anger. He could not help but say, “You still dare to say you haven’t been lying to me?!
“All this time, have you not been colluding with Traceless Snow to lie to me?!”
Chen Yixue really wanted to say that she had also been deceived by Su Ming for a long time. “But thinking about it carefully, if he said that, wouldn’t it make him as stupid as Loner?”
That would not do.
Thinking of this, Chen Yixue simply closed her mouth and did not speak.
When Su Ming heard Loner’s angry words, he chuckled softly and said, “I don’t think I’ve ever said that I’m an NPC, right? If you really want to say it, you’re the one who misunderstood my identity, right?”
Loner was a little angry at first. “You’re obviously a liar.”
The words were at the tip of his tongue, but Loner could not continue.
Because he suddenly realized that it was just as Su Ming had said.
From the beginning to the end, she had misunderstood his identity. Su Ming had never said that she was an NPC.
However, the way the other NPCs in the game treated Su Ming, as well as the fact that Su Ming was also an inner player, but was of a completely different level from them, caused him to misunderstand Su Ming from the very beginning.
If they really wanted to blame someone, it seemed like they could only blame their own imagination, right?
Loner opened his mouth but could not say a word.
When Su Ming saw his expression, he sighed softly and walked to Loner’s side. He patted his shoulder.
“Hey, although you misunderstood this matter, I also made a certain mistake for not being able to resolve the misunderstanding in time.
“I never wanted to lie to you. It’s just that you didn’t ask and I was afraid that you would feel awkward, so I didn’t tell you.”
The moment he said that, Loner was first stunned, then he turned to look at Su Ming, only to see that Su Ming’s face was filled with sincerity.
In the end, Loner could only scratch his head and say helplessly, “What should I be called now?”
When Chen Yixue saw that Loner had been tricked by Su Ming so easily, she scolded him in her heart for being an idiot, but she said, “Just like before. Since the Prophet doesn’t want to reveal his identity and trusts us so much, we can’t expose him.”
When Loner heard that, he cast a glance at Su Ming and nodded his head in resignation.
“Alright, then.”
After that, Su Ming cast a glance at the wild boar behind Loner.
“It must have taken you a long time to get here, right?”
Loner’s expression turned awkward as he replied, “It’s alright. It’s just half a day.”
Su Ming shook his head. “Why did you have to come here? You could have just added me as a friend and asked me.”
At this point, Loner’s emotions, which were just about to go down, suddenly rose again.
“I also wanted to! But I’ve sent you at least dozens of friend requests, but you didn’t even look at it!”
When Su Ming heard that, he remembered that he had already closed his friend request.
Su Ming tugged at the corners of his lips and said, “Hmm, it’s not easy for you to come back. Don’t go back today. Let’s have a meal together.”
After a slight pause, Su Ming seemed to have remembered something and asked, “By the way, how have you been in the Purgatory Valley?”
Loner’s eyes lit up as he said, “Great Prophet, I’m not sleepy anymore!”
“After this period of development, I have now successfully become the leader of a small tribe!”
Chen Yixue, who was at the side, was slightly shocked and could not help but say, “A small tribe? How small is it?”
Loner’s face stiffened, and he said vaguely, “That’s not important. What’s important is that I’m a leader now!”
However, even though Loner wanted to brush it off, Chen Yixue did not give up.
Finally, Loner took a deep breath and said impatiently, “Twenty people, is that enough?!”
After a moment of silence, Chen Yixue finally managed to hold back her urge to burst out laughing.
However, the corner of her mouth that she was trying hard to press down still revealed her current mood.
Loner glanced at her and snorted, “You can laugh if you want! I don’t care!”
Hearing this, Chen Yixue could not hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
“The leader of 20 people hahahahaha, the leader of 20 people, you might as well call yourself a village chief!”
Su Ming cast a glance at Loner, whose face was flushed red, and patted him on the shoulder. He consoled him, “It’s fine. everyone is like this at the beginning. You can take it slow in the future.”
Hearing this, Loner’s eyes lit up. He could not help but ask, “Great Prophet, were you the same as me when you first started?”
“Oh, no.” When I first became the Elven tribe’s Prophet, there were already hundreds or even thousands of Elves in the tribe.”
Loner’s face froze.
Chen Yixue, who was laughing uncontrollably at the side, was slightly stunned when she saw this scene.
Then, she suddenly laughed even more exaggeratedly, making people wonder if her stomach was going to burst from laughing.
Loner stood there for a while without saying a word, then turned around and walked toward his wild boar.
Su Ming stopped him with a slightly amused expression, and the expression on his face became more serious.
“I’m just joking, but I really think you did a good job.”
“When I first came into contact with the Elf tribe, they were in danger,” Su Ming continued after a slight pause.
“It’s just right. I can solve that crisis again. Thus, I naturally became the Prophet of the Elf tribe.”
Su Ming cast a glance at Loner and said, and your current situation is different from mine.
“The forces in the Purgatory Valley are intertwined and extremely complicated.”
“I think it’s already very good that you were able to gain a firm foothold in such a short time and even become one of the commanders.”
Loner’s eyes lit up as he asked, “Do you really think so, Great Prophet?”
When Su Ming heard that, he nodded and said, “Actually, I’m also thinking about it. If there’s a chance, I can send some warriors to the Purgatory Valley to train. They can also help you.”
