George Yu and Monkey Wine? They did go to kill the Boss, but how could they possibly steal someone else's Boss? Vivian had confidence in them on this point; it must be some kind of misunderstanding.

Thinking this, with the intention of clearing up the misunderstanding, Vivian calmly said, "Can you explain in detail what exactly happened?"

Warrior World: "Reed, shouldn't you give me an explanation? After all, you're part of our guild. It's unreasonable for your team to steal a Boss from our guild members, especially since the items dropped by the Boss are urgently needed by our guild members. How do you plan to resolve this?"

The other party kept accusing without clarifying the situation, and Vivian was too lazy to ask further, so she said, "Whose team in our guild? Tell me the name, and I'll ask George Yu."

After a while, Warrior World replied with four words: "Little Rain Green."

Vivian: "..."

Words could not describe Vivian's embarrassment at this moment. She checked her friends list, saw that Thunder Nina was online, and messaged her: "When did Little Rain Green join our guild?"

Little Rain Fairy joining Azure Sea Sound Pavilion was something Vivian knew about and wasn't surprised by. After marriage, it's common in the game for the wife to join the husband's guild or vice versa. But how did Little Rain Green end up here too? When did Azure Sea Sound Pavilion's recruitment standards become so low?

Thunder Nina quickly replied: "Last week, I think. Didn't you know, Vivian?"

Vivian: "I didn't know. Who recruited them?"

Thunder Nina: "The guild leader did, because they got familiar with Purewater and Fairy. Oh, right, you weren't online when they joined. The whole Little Rain family merged into our guild."

Vivian: "..."

Thunder Nina: "I was wondering why you didn't react at all. I didn't dare to bring it up. Actually, Little Rain Fairy is quite nice, but Little Rain Green is really annoying, always flirting and acting coy with the guys in the guild. It's disgusting. Vivian, let me tell you secretly, I've seen Little Rain Green and Warlord Chief alone together several times, even riding on the same horse..."

Vivian's question had triggered her gossiping instinct, and she started talking non-stop. Vivian wasn't in the mood for gossip and wasn't interested in those messy things, so she messaged George Yu: "George Yu, did you encounter Little Rain Green when you were killing the Boss?"

George Yu: "I think so, didn't really notice. Five or six teams were waiting for the Boss to spawn, and I was quick to kill it. Hehe, got a good piece of equipment, I'll give it to you later. Have you and Third Brother finished the quest?"

Since George Yu said so, there was no need to ask further. Vivian never thought they would steal someone else's Boss, and now she was even more at ease, casually replying: "Not yet."

George Yu: "Lame! Third Brother is so lame."

Vivian quickly defended Naihe: "It's the quest that's insane!!!"

Don't casually slander the great god, okay >o<

While describing the insane quest to George Yu, Vivian quickly messaged Warrior World: "Warlord Chief, why don't you ask Little Rain Green what happened, and then give me an explanation."

Warrior World: "What do you mean? Reed, I know you have issues with Green and her group, but I hope you can stick to the facts."

Receiving such a reply, Vivian could only look up to the sky speechlessly.

Stick to the facts, how was she not sticking to the facts? Who was being unreasonable here!

She had always thought Warrior World was a bit unclear in handling things, but now it seemed he was completely out of his mind. Vivian stopped wasting words with him and opened the guild channel to call out Little Rain Green.

『Guild』[Reed Vivian]: Little Rain Green.

『Guild』[Reed Vivian]: Could you please explain to Warlord Chief what exactly happened with my team supposedly stealing your Boss?

Her words stirred up a storm, and the previously silent guild members started to emerge.

『Guild』[Thunder Nina]: Vivian, what Boss stealing?

『Guild』[Jason Purewater]: (Confused expression)

『Guild』[David Yang]: What's going on?

『Guild』[Reed Vivian]: Warlord Chief suddenly questioned me about why my team stole the Boss from Little Rain Green's team. I was doing a quest with Smiling Naihe, not fighting a Boss. I asked George Yu Climber and Monkey Wine, and found some discrepancies in the story. Now I want Little Rain Green to come out and clarify.

『Guild』[Thunder Nina]: Hey, Vivian, you weren't even in the team, what does it have to do with you?

『Guild』[Reed Vivian]: True, but if George Yu and the others did steal it, I would take responsibility. However, according to George Yu, they were just quick to click when the Boss spawned. Of course, that's just their side of the story, and I won't be biased, so I'm waiting for Little Rain Green to explain.

『Guild』[reyo]: Where is Little Rain Green?

『Guild』[Meng Harrison]: Little Rain Green, come out and say if the Boss was really stolen.

The guild members were chatting lively, but Little Rain Green didn't show up. After a while, Little Rain Fairy appeared.

『Guild』[Little Rain Fairy]: Green isn't here right now, probably AFK.

AFK?

Warrior World wasn't speaking either, was he AFK too? Could it be such a coincidence that they were both AFK at the same time? Vivian wasn't a fool, so she said, "Little Rain Green, if you don't want to speak, I'll ask in the world chat. There were several teams present at the time, I'm sure someone will be willing to explain what happened."

This made Little Rain Green quickly appear.

『Guild』[Little Rain Green]: I just went out, what's going on?

『Guild』[Little Rain Green]: Oh, this thing. I just said the Boss was stolen, I didn't get it, and said they took the Boss. What's wrong with that? I didn't know World would misunderstand and ask you.

This pushed all the responsibility onto Warrior World. Vivian already didn't like Little Rain Green, and now she despised her even more for not taking responsibility. If she really just said that, would Warrior World have come to question her so confidently, even hinting for her to hand over the equipment?

Warrior World wasn't an idiot.

『Guild』[Reed Vivian]: So according to you, Warlord Chief deliberately misinterpreted your words to slander me? Then Warlord Chief should give me an explanation. Being wronged feels terrible.

『Guild』[Jason Purewater]: It seems to be a misunderstanding, let's not dwell on it.

Misunderstanding? Vivian sneered in her heart.

Thunder Nina sent a private message: "I think Little Rain Green must have acted coy and badmouthed you to Warrior World, not expecting him to ask you, and got caught. But who knows, she often does this, asking the guys in the guild to help her get revenge or something, maybe she wanted to use someone to do her dirty work?"

Vivian replied unceremoniously: "Then the knife she borrowed is too dull."

Warrior World still didn't reply, and Vivian said: "Is Warlord Chief AFK too?"

After waiting for a while with no response, Vivian wasn't in a hurry, typing lightly: "Although Warlord Chief misunderstood me just now, I truly admire Warlord Chief's actions in seeking justice for ordinary guild members. But why aren't you speaking now? Is justice different for different people?"

Warrior World was finally forced to come out.

『Guild』[Warrior World]: I made a mistake, it's best if it's a misunderstanding. Guild unity is crucial. But there's one more thing, Reed, you need to pay attention to.

So easily trying to brush it off?! And there's more?

Vivian was already unhappy about being questioned, but since getting angry wouldn't help resolve the issue, she had been holding back. Now, seeing his attitude, she was truly angry. The angrier she got, the calmer she became, typing slowly: "What is it? Please say."

Warrior World: "When Purewater and Fairy got married, the potions you sold on Bird Bridge were made with materials from the guild, right? Technically, you shouldn't sell them yourself. Of course, it's okay occasionally, just be careful next time, hehe."

Vivian was disgusted by his final "hehe," understanding that he was trying to regain face after losing it earlier. Someone with a softer personality might have let it go, but Vivian wasn't about to let it slide, sharply saying: "Such an old matter, it's impressive that the acting guild leader still remembers. Those potions were indeed made with guild materials, but the materials used were high-level. How many high-level gatherers are there in the guild?"

The guild channel fell silent.

With the guild leader and an elder arguing, ordinary members naturally didn't want to intervene. Those sensitive enough noticed that Reed Vivian's address for Warrior World had changed from "Warlord Chief" to "acting guild leader," making it even more inappropriate to speak.

No one answered her, so Vivian continued: "If I remember correctly, there are two, including myself. The other is Joyful, but Joyful is a senior in high school, preparing for exams, and hasn't been around for months."

Vivian: "So, the so-called guild materials are actually the herbs I gathered. Is the acting guild leader objecting to me selling potions made from my own gathered materials?"

Warrior World angrily said: "Reed, don't speak too soon. Although high-level potions require high-level materials, low-level materials are also necessary. Those low-level materials are guild resources, right?"

Vivian calmly replied: "Alright, since the acting guild leader wants to settle accounts, let's do it. What's the market price for high-level materials? What's the price for low-level materials? How many times have I made potions for the guild for free?"

The price difference between high-level and low-level materials was vast, and high-level potions were priceless. Warrior World would be foolish to answer. He was just trying to find a way out, not expecting Reed Vivian to be so aggressive.

Warrior World: "Contributing to the guild is the responsibility of all members."

Vivian retorted: "But please don't take my unpaid labor for granted! Because I've been making potions for the guild for free, I don't even have the freedom to sell my own potions?!"

Vivian: "And after my contributions, all I get is slander?!"

A small guild alchemist timidly spoke up: "Although Vivian used the low-level materials we gathered, we also used the high-level materials Vivian gathered to level up."

Thunder Nina, seeing the situation escalating, worried that Vivian would have a harder time in the guild in the future, quickly tried to mediate: "Let's just drop it, we're all in the same guild, harmony brings wealth."

Once she spoke, the guild members also started speaking to mediate.

Vivian sent a smiling emoji, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the mediation worked, but then a line of text appeared, leaving them speechless.

『Guild』[Reed Vivian]: Little Rain Green, you and I both know what really happened. Either you apologize to me now, or don't let me see you killing a Boss in the future, or I'll make the accusation you placed on me a reality.

Drop it? Maybe before Warrior World mentioned the potions, but not now. In real life, handling matters might require careful consideration, but not in a game. If you can't act freely in a game, what's the point? She's here to play, not to be mistreated.

Almost immediately.

『Guild』[Little Rain Drizzle]: Reed Vivian! You're going too far!

The previously silent Little Rain members, feeling guilty, suddenly emerged like mushrooms after rain, some defending, some attacking. Vivian watched the chaotic screen, and her anger gradually cooled, suddenly feeling it was all so pointless.

This wasn't the original Azure Sea Sound Pavilion anymore.

Friends who had fought together had disappeared or left, and those who remained had become silent. Even the former guild leader Butterfly Dream was coming and going quickly, and now there were the Little Rain family members...

It would only become more unbearable in the future.

Such a chaotic place, how could it be Azure Sea Sound Pavilion? With things and people changed, was there any reason to stay? Driven by a sudden impulse, almost without thinking, Vivian left this message.

『Guild』[Reed Vivian]: I've said what needed to be said, and I keep my word. Friends, we'll still be friends when we meet again in the Jianghu.

After saying this, without looking at everyone's reactions, Vivian opened the guild interface and clicked the bottom right corner—exit.

Are you sure you want to leave Azure Sea Sound Pavilion?

Yes.

『Guild』: All good things must come to an end, Reed Vivian has left Azure Sea Sound Pavilion.

Immediately, the system refreshed the announcement:

『System』: Jianghu expert Reed Vivian has left Azure Sea Sound Pavilion.

Normally, players joining or leaving a guild wouldn't be announced, but for top 100 experts on the comprehensive leaderboard, the system would announce their guild movements. Once the announcement was made, the 『World』 channel was abuzz.

『World』[NoPantsBreezy]: Reed Vivian left Azure Sea?

『World』[Dream Brook]: Little Rain Fairy went to Azure Sea, did Reed leave because she couldn't stand their lovey-dovey behavior?

『World』[Nemo]: Don't talk nonsense, Reed's husband Smiling Naihe is way better than Jason Purewater.

『World』[Pink Bubbles]: Being good in the game is nothing, Jason Purewater and Little Rain Fairy are real-life handsome and beautiful, I've seen their photos.

And another voice.

『World』[Long Smoke Empty]: Azure Sea lost another expert, it seems Azure Sea is really done for. After Butterfly Dream left, it was already shaky, and now with Reed Vivian gone, it'll soon lose its position among the top four.

『World』[World Justice]: Reed Vivian, come to our World Justice guild, the treatment is definitely better than Azure Sea.

『World』[World Justice]: Reed Vivian, come to our World Justice guild, the treatment is definitely better than Azure Sea.

『World』[World Justice]: Reed Vivian, come to our World Justice guild, the treatment is definitely better than Azure Sea.

『System』: Player World Justice maliciously spamming, muted for one hour.

...

...

Compared to the 『World』 channel, Vivian's friends list was even more lively.

Thunder Nina: "Vivian, why did you leave the guild, don't!"

Vivian didn't want to say much, just replied: "Nothing, just want some peace."

Thunder Nina: "But you'll come back, right?"

Vivian replied without hesitation: "No."

George Yu, Monkey Wine also sent messages, George Yu being smart, immediately linked it to Vivian's earlier question, "Did you leave the guild because of the Little Rain family? Does it have something to do with me?"

Vivian said: ">o<"

George Yu: "Really related?"

Vivian: "Uh, no, I meant, you're not that important..."

George Yu: "..."
