Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

It was as if all the fatigue in my body was dissolved by a force, followed by a warm feeling.

That is the special effect of the sacred tree seed, similar to the halo effect. It is a pity that this ability is not controlled by Ye Qing, and it is triggered by the sacred tree seed itself.

"The seeds of the sacred tree were found in the City Lord's Mansion. The previous situation..."

Ye Qing roughly recounted what she had seen, which naturally included her meeting with Lao Li and then rushing to the City Lord's Mansion. She described what had happened during that time in detail.

"So, what the Luo family really wanted was the seed of the sacred tree. The city lord died to protect it. Even that old man came for it?"

Zhao Xin blinked her bright big eyes. At this moment, she just felt it was a little unbelievable.

If we continue along this line of thought, what is happening in the entire city will become more and more outrageous.

"It should be that only the Luo family is mainly after the sacred tree seeds. Let's not talk about the lack of information from the city lord. It seems that Lao Li has other purposes."

Ye Qing shook her head, but before she could finish her explanation, Zhao Xin stood up suddenly and narrowly avoided being knocked to the ground by Ye Qing.

"No, no, no, that's not the question... What about the Luo family, the culprits who summoned the evil god? Did they leave a base for the local gang leader and then just run away?"

She looked at Ye Qing in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe such a thing.

Ye Qing nodded. This was one of the reasons why she would rather fight to the death with the Naluo family.

"What do they think of human life? A whole city, this is a whole city!!!"

Zhao Xin almost shouted out with gritted teeth, but this still failed to calm her inner anger, so she directly took out her double pistols and fired a burst of bullets to the side.

Seeing her sister's actions, Zhao Manying did not step forward to stop her, but let her vent her emotions.

Although she didn't show much reaction on the surface, in her heart Zhao Manying was just as angry as Zhao Xin.

"This is the most ridiculous and saddest part of the whole thing..."

Ye Qing couldn't help but let out a long sigh. In front of these so-called powerful people, ordinary people were like ants and could be easily manipulated. No one cared about their life or death.

However, after the incident, no one knew where the so-called Luo family had disappeared to.

At this moment, the prompt that the task was completed appeared in front of Ye Qing.

Chapter 69 Contradictions

"You're still defending Heaven's Way, but whose side is this thief Heaven on?!"

After venting his anger, Zhao Xin sat down next to Ye Qing feeling somewhat disappointed. Looking at the name of this task, he felt it was extremely ironic.

I don’t know what this has to do with defending the way of heaven. Almost all the people in the city were killed. The culprit who started all this escaped easily, and the one who thought he was in control of everything also died.

If we say that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor, then the first ones to be held accountable are the Naro family and the Huiyu Army.

"This world is so unreasonable..."

Ye Qing sighed. She had no way to comfort Zhao Xin about his dissatisfaction.

From the players' perspective, they are actually also bearing a very harsh "fate".

If you die, your equipment level will drop. If you fall behind, you will most likely not be able to keep up with the progress of the main force and be left far behind, and there will be no one to pull you up even when you are pulled.

Not to mention that in today's environment, people admire players with strong personal strength more.

In the fantasy world of God, the law of the jungle is the "rule" that is laid out on the surface, whether for players or NPCs.

It’s just that players can click the exit button when they die, but for NPCs, where is their exit button?

Probably in the eyes of most players, they are just a string of data.

Many times, such things cannot be thought about carefully.

This is also why most players will leave the game in the game. Except for those players with stronger empathy, everyone will try to selectively "forget" some less important content.

Zhao Manying, who was sitting next to him, saw that the atmosphere had become a little tense, so he stood up at this moment, walked over and patted Zhao Xin on the shoulder.

"Xiao Xin, Ye Zi and I are going to relax, do you want to come with us?"

But Zhao Xin just shook her head. It was obvious that everything she had just learned still made her a little depressed.

"No, let me sit for a while."

The two of them tacitly did not disturb Zhao Xin, but walked straight into the city.

With the previous lesson in mind, Ye Qing did not take the seed of the sacred tree directly in his hand, but hid it.

After all, she didn't know how the Mountain People Gang would treat this thing, or to be more precise, how Lao Li would treat the seed of the sacred tree.

If the seed of the sacred tree itself has any secrets, among the people who can currently access it, only Lao Li and Miss Yun may know it.

"Ye Zi, what do you think about this whole thing?"

Zhao Manying and Ye Qing walked forward side by side. They bypassed the streets blocked by corpses and continued strolling in the ruins.

It just so happened that Ye Qing wanted to go look for Lao Li on the way, hoping that he could provide some useful information.

"How can I see it? How else can I see it?"

Ye Qing glanced at the mutated corpses around him, and there was helplessness in his words.

She has tried her best, but nothing in this world can have a good result just by trying her best.

From entering the city to killing the evil god, it seemed that he was being led by someone again.

To be more precise, I was once again involved in this inexplicable plan, and then I carefully tested the situation in the game among multiple parties, and finally I managed to win back a city by taking a risky move.

The real mastermind failed to achieve his goal, and the evil god failed to descend into this world. It seemed that Ye Qing had done his best.

But for her, this was not the best outcome.

"Ye Zi, relax. Even if the master on Wolonggang was reborn, he couldn't be so accurate in predicting the future. Otherwise, the seven-star lamp that could keep your life would not have been kicked over, right?"

Zhao Manying also noticed Ye Qing's resentment and spoke out to comfort her.

In her opinion, Ye Qing had already done her best and she couldn't ask for more.

As a player, he can only start from the existing information. As for wanting to mediate among multiple forces and achieve results, Zhao Manying believes that no one can do better than Ye Qing in the same amount of time.

"I'm worried about Xiao Xin. If she gets too stubborn, no one can stop her."

Ye Qing felt somewhat remorseful. If she had discussed the matter a little longer before taking action, or even gone back to discuss it with the coaching staff and the analysis team, perhaps a different result could have been reached.

But there is no if in everything, and the most terrifying thing in this world is if.

If people always have some unrealistic fantasies, so that they pin their hopes on everything they have not accomplished.

But Ye Qing knew very well that if he had not tried his best before, no matter how much he said, it would be useless and he would not remember the lesson in the future.

"It's okay. Xiao Xin is a very emotional person, but she can resolve her emotions by herself and won't get stuck in them."

When Zhao Manying said this herself, she felt that it was somewhat inappropriate.

The one who should have been comforted at this time was Zhao Xin, but he ended up comforting Ye Qing instead.

But just as she said, every time Zhao Xin encountered such problems, she could always "convince herself", that is, she could resolve her emotions by herself without leaving too much psychological burden.

"That being said, ah..."

Ye Qing sighed. At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the stars in the past.

Sometimes, we often think that there is no problem with many problems, but as they accumulate, they will form more and more contradictions, and when they finally explode, it will be out of control.

Just like Xingchen in the past, from an initially unpopular grassroots guild to the number one guild, and then to being poached and disintegrated, all of which left a deep psychological trauma on Ye Qing.

Now that she finally has a chance to start over, she absolutely does not want to die alone on her sickbed again!

As the two of them were walking forward, they began to hear some noises without realizing it.

Just when Zhao Manying was about to draw her sword vigilantly, Ye Qing had already stretched out his hand to stop her.

"It's okay, they are not enemies, at least not yet."

Ye Qing shook his head. Before Zhao Manying understood why, a lot of people had already emerged from the street corner.

Those were the thugs from the Mountain Man Gang dressed in black robes, but the moment they saw Ye Qing, they immediately put away their machetes.

The leader was the left protector beside Lao Li, but his appearance at this moment was not to kill the enemy, but to save people.

At this moment, Zhao Manying also noticed that the mountain gangs were carrying makeshift stretchers and even a few injured civilians.

Ye Qing and Zhao Manying looked at each other immediately, and they realized a problem at this moment.

Due to the huge collapse just now, they subconsciously believed that all the people in the city were dead. However, now it seems that this is not the case. At least the members of the Mountain Man Gang are still rescuing the wounded.

Realizing this, the two of them stepped forward quickly, and Ye Qing even asked directly to the left protector.

"What's going on with you? Are there any surviving people around here?!"

Perhaps because he didn't expect Ye Qing to suddenly come forward, the left protector was startled, but he still bowed to Ye Qing respectfully.

"Yes, near the barrier, some people still have Mr. Li's talismans or statues in their homes, so they did not die in the earthquake. We are now searching for these survivors."

And now his extremely respectful attitude made Ye Qing a little confused for a moment.

But when he learned that there were still civilians alive, Ye Qing felt mixed emotions.

All kinds of complicated emotions surged into Ye Qing's heart, causing tears to form in his eyes.

"Notify Xiao Xin... and this, uh, Left Protector?

"Yes, I am the left protector of Mr. Li. I don't know if the hero needs our help, but we have some civilians who need to be sent back..."

As soon as the left protector heard Ye Qing speak, he half-knelt on the ground again, making Ye Qing almost feel uncomfortable.

"That's perfect. I'll go back with you. Mr. Li is still at the barrier, right?"

"Yes, he is in charge of the overall situation... But please understand that I can only send a colleague to take you back. We still need more manpower here."

When the Left Protector said this it sounded as if he was squeezing these words out from between his teeth. Even the dullest person could sense his fear.

Although the two did not know where the fear came from, at least Ye Qing did not kill the people in the city.

Naturally, Ye Qing would not take such a small matter to heart. After she told Zhao Xin the news, she felt like a huge stone had been lifted from her heart.

"It's okay, it's okay. We'll go there by ourselves. If there are any people who need help to be brought over, just leave them to us."

But just as they were about to take the stretcher, the members of the Mountain Man Gang who were carrying the stretcher took a few steps back in obvious fear.

This also made Ye Qing stunned for a moment. She noticed that the faces of the surrounding mountain gang members were filled with fear, and some of them even had their legs trembling.

What's going on?

Even a clay man would get angry, not to mention that Ye Qing was the one who had just rescued them. Zhao Manying, who was standing next to him, wanted to step forward and argue with him to get things done.

But Ye Qing stopped her again, shook his head at her, and rushed in another direction without saying anything more.

Only after he saw the two figures move away for a considerable distance did the left protector dare to take a deep breath.

"Protector, Lord Protector, I think we should leave quickly! Otherwise, if that devil comes back again, we will be in great trouble!"

Although the gang members following behind were trying to lower their voices, they still looked around unconsciously, as if Ye Qing would come back to kill him soon.

But they probably never thought that if Ye Qing was really a demon who enjoyed killing people, they would not have been able to live peacefully until now.

"Shut up! Mr. Li has ordered us to rescue the wounded. Anyone who dares to leave his post without permission can't blame me for being ruthless!"

Chapter 70: The Real Villain and the Hypocrite

After cursing, the left protector looked around breathlessly. His violently heaving chest and flushed face undoubtedly showed his true attitude at the moment.

Fear, unstoppable fear.

But as the "Left Protector", he cannot let such fear be exposed in front of his gang members.

If the gang members present saw how scared he was, how could they maintain their sanity?

Right now, morale and military spirit are the most important. If even the military spirit that has been gathered with great difficulty is dispersed like this, then let alone rescuing people, it will be good enough if there is no riot in the city.
