Just as Qin Feng Yi had said, the place was stunning and incredibly spacious.
Legend has it that this place used to be a women’s guild headquarters, but due to some disagreements, they moved elsewhere.
The guild leader and the elders were no longer in solidarity, after the guild leader became discouraged, she dissolved the guild. Therefore, they wanted to rent out this place.
Li Yao spent two hours discussing with an elderly man to draft the initial contract.
Afterward, the elderly man mentioned that the owner wasn’t currently in the Hua Xia area due to some issues and would be back in a few days. However, he assured Li Yao that the agreed terms would not be changed.
Li Yao and Qin Feng Yi, under the guidance of the elderly man, familiarized themselves with some more information, and he suggested they ponder over it.
If they had no objections, they would meet here again in three days to sign the lease. This kind of contract couldn’t be short-term; the minimum lease duration was for two years.
“What do you think?” Qin Feng Yi asked from inside the car.
“Not bad, it seems they genuinely want to rent it out with no third-party involvement.” Li Yao nodded, thoroughly satisfied with this place.
Though it was on the outskirts, such a large patch of land was incredible. Li Yao felt it was perfectly suited for a guild headquarters and resembled a large estate.
The interior was like a mini society, with all kinds of well-maintained facilities, making it seem more like a wellness center.
“You guessed right, this place used to be the headquarters of the Wind Flower Snow Moon guild, but it has since disbanded,” Qin Feng Yi sighed.
Upon hearing this, Li Yao understood. The Wind Flower Snow Moon Guild, like Baihua League, used to be a brilliant all-female guild. The guild leader’s game ID was Wind Flower Snow Moon. She was a skilled player with great management skills, leading the all-female team to become a contender in the World Cup.
However, this woman was quite coquettish and loose in nature and was often surrounded by scandal. This earned her the nickname ‘Seductress’ in the eSports circle.
She had been married once, but due to scandals, her husband divorced her.
Seeing the expression on Li Yao’s face, Qin Feng Yi said helplessly, “I know you’re thinking about the rumors now. I’ve had quite a few interactions with her. She is a decent person. Her enchanting nature is innate; it’s not her fault. Some people swarm around her like flies, and when they can’t have her, they spread these rumors.”
Li Yao coughed lightly, asking, “So, the rumors about her divorce aren’t true?”
Li Yao was curious. Considering that Wind Flower Snow Moon had once been the dream girl of countless boys, a woman charming enough to drive men wild with thoughts.
Qin Feng Yi gave Li Yao a look and said while driving, “The divorce is true. Wind Flower Snow Moon was foolish. She has such high standards, but she was fooled by a scumbag pretty boy. She married him without a second thought, but he turned out to be a jerk who seduced several of the guild’s elders. When the truth came out, Wind Flower Snow Moon was disheartened. She divorced him and dissolved the guild.”
“Well, that’s quite the ugly truth. That pretty boy is a piece of work,” Li Yao sighed.
“From the way you sound, it’s like you’re envious. Do you want to become a pretty boy?” Qin Feng Yi joked.
“Oh, how good it would be to be a pretty boy. Unfortunately, my talent is so great, it cannot be hidden. I can only rely on my talent to earn a living.” Li Yao shrugged.
“Righteousness,” Qin Feng Yi shot Li Yao a glance, “Speaking seriously, this matter happened almost a year ago. She hasn’t been able to rent out this place; she’s not ready to let go. So, I think she’s the perfect candidate for the club manager.”
Upon hearing this, Li Yao was intrigued. She was a legend with experience in various major tournaments. If they could persuade her to join, it would be a big win.
“She used to lead a big guild; would she be willing to join us?”
Qin Feng Yi said, “I spoke with her a while ago, and I could tell she was reluctant to let go from the conversation. As you saw, the contract stipulates that this place must be used as a club or guild base, and a courtyard must be kept for her. It’s clear she wants to continue living here. But as you know, major guilds already have their bases, small guilds can’t afford it, so it’s been delayed for so long. Given your current reputation and strong performance, we may have a chance to persuade her to come out of retirement.”
“Right, with that legend on our side, we undoubtedly add wings to our tiger.” Li Yao made up his mind, “Once the contract is signed, help set up an appointment for us.”
Li Yao had been struggling with finding a suitable manager for the team. That position wasn’t easy to fill.
“Naturally, why else would I tell you all this?” Qin Feng Yi said, “I’ve done such a big favor for you, aren’t you going to thank me?”
Li Yao turned his head in surprise and said, “Do we need to say thanks in our relationship?”
“Quite right.” Qin Feng Yi chuckled before suddenly changing direction in the hover car.
“Hey, hey, I need to go home. You’re going the wrong way,” Li Yao interjected.
“No, we’re on the way to a mall. I heard they have a sale going on,” Qin Feng Yi responded.
“Shouldn’t you ask for my opinion first?” Li Yao asked helplessly, his mind still consumed by thoughts of the Mysterious Eye.
“Is there anything wrong with asking my boyfriend to accompany me shopping?” Qin Feng Yi laughed.
Li Yao…
After browsing for a while, buying some items, and having lunch, Qin Feng Yi dropped off Li Yao.
As soon as Li Yao logged in, he made his way to the High Elf capital city.
He then paid some gold coins to enter the High Elf’s grand library.
The High Elf’s grand library was reputed to be one of the most resource-rich libraries, with an immensely vast interior.
The High Elves had a long lineage, containing many important documents, the plethora of which was exhaustingly extensive.
Not many players came here as the sight of countless thick books alone would make anyone’s head spin.
However, Li Yao headed straight to the ancient gods’ information section. Going through various pieces of data, Li Yao indeed found some connection with ancient gods.
He then headed to the ancient elven information section, and finally, in a book documenting the ritual of worshipping ancient gods, he found some clues.
All elves used to worship the Moon God. To seize the faith of the elf clan, an ancient god once corrupted an entire city.
Under the influence of the ancient god, they created an evil ritual that sapped and corrupted the powers of the Moon God, corrupting the Moon Goddess Statue and gaining faith.
Livid, the Empress ordered her army to level the corrupted area, leading to the ritual becoming lost and forbidden.
But the Upper Elves who were infatuated with arcane magic broke down these symbols and retained them.
This could be said that these evil ancient symbols were the source and origin of dark magic and necromancy.
This object is akin to a decryption game. If one fails to decipher it, it’s worthless. But if one does, it comes with a massive gain and limitless possibilities.
Li Yao continuously filtered through copious information from his past life in his mind, trying to find any links…
