GBP Chapter 237 Roundtable Conference
Chapter 237 Roundtable Conference
Ji Xingyi struggled to peel Bazhualin off his body: "Jiang Yu is still waiting for us."
Jiang Lin curled her lip: "Why bother with him? It's good enough that he's not messing with Ji Ran. Just hurry up and get on with your work."
Ji Xingyi was speechless. "You're really not happy about it now?" she thought. She coughed and offered a more tactful excuse: "Your injury has just healed, and we're still young."
Jiang Lin was unhappy to hear this. Isn't this the kind of thing you should do more of while you're young?
Jiang Lin: "When you get old, I'll just find someone else."
"What did you say?" Ji Xingyi thought he was hallucinating.
"You're not even old yet? And your hearing is already failing?" Jiang Lin didn't try to hide his disdain and said openly.
Ji Xing took a deep breath, suppressing his rising anger.
Jiang Lin comforted her tenderly, "Don't be angry, getting angry ages you faster..."
Ji Xing couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed the man, sealing his mouth with a kiss: "Jiang Lin, if it were anyone else, I would have sewed your mouth shut already!"
"Others?" Jiang Lin lay on the bed, touching Ji Xingyi's abs, and squinted his eyes provocatively: "It's not impossible."
"You want to try other people too?" Ji Xing's mind was about to explode. She flipped the person on the bed over and grabbed Jiang Lin by the neck: "I was really too gentle with you!"
Feeling the heat emanating from through her clothes, Jiang Lin breathed slightly out of breath: "I'm not a woman, why do I need you to be gentle?"
"Good, good, good!" Ji Xingyi was truly impressed by Jiang Lin's words. These days, it would take several rounds of days to pass.
When desire can be controlled, Ji Xingyi can remain unmoved, but once the floodgates are opened, she becomes even more intoxicated than Jiang Lin. In no time, the sheets are burning hot, as if they are sparking.
"Knock knock knock!" The knocking sounded again.
The two were engrossed in their conversation, oblivious to the others. But the other person kept knocking, as if it were something urgent.
"Brother Ji! Are you there? Brother Ji!"
Upon hearing those three words, Jiang Lin bit Ji Xingyi's shoulder hard.
Ji Xingyi smiled, stroked Jiang Lin's nape, and kissed him.
"Brother Ji! I have something very urgent to discuss! Are you there, Brother Ji?"
Lu Xingtong's voice sounded urgent, and Ji Xingyi dared not be careless in the Yellow Springs instance, so he whispered to coax her, "I'll go take a look."
"No." Jiang Lin refused to let them go.
Ji Xingyi broke out in a sweat from Jiang Lin's antics and kissed Jiang Lin's lips: "What if something serious happens?"
"What serious could happen to her? At worst, a few people will die." Jiang Lin felt his words were too cold-hearted and slightly changed his wording: "There's no noise outside, what could possibly happen?"
"Alright, wait for me." Ji Xingyi got dressed.
Lu Xingtong took the food and water and stood at the door.
"Brother Ji, did I wake you up?" Lu Xingtong lowered her head in embarrassment.
Ji Xingyi glanced at the food, showing no intention of letting Lu Xingtong in, and frowned, saying, "Is this the important matter you mentioned?"
"No, I was just thinking you haven't eaten yet." Lu Xingtong quickly explained, "It's that Jiang Yu who called a meeting on the thirteenth floor, and Sister Zhao asked me to tell you."
"I understand, thanks." Ji Xing nodded and closed the door decisively.
Being locked out twice in a row caused Lu Xingtong's face to visibly darken.
Hearing that it was Jiang Yu causing trouble, Jiang Lin showed no intention of getting up. Instead, she pulled Ji Xingyi into bed. After much coaxing, Ji Xingyi finally got Jiang Lin cleaned up, dressed, and ready to leave.
When the two arrived on the 13th floor, Zhao Ruoxi was asleep, squatting by the elevator. She woke up after Jiang Lin kicked her, yawning and saying, "Why did you two take so long?"
Ji Xingyi: "Why don't you go in?"
"Holding a meeting at 3 a.m.? Are you out of your mind?" Zhao Ruoxi muttered under her breath.
Jiang Lin chuckled: "Isn't this your Jiang Shen?"
Zhao Ruoxi crossed her arms: "Even the God of the River can't disturb my beauty sleep!"
"I think you're absolutely right. Let's go back to sleep." As soon as Jiang Lin turned around, Ji Xingyi wrapped her arms around his waist and picked him up.
"Be careful of your wound, don't move around." Ji Xingyi gave Jiang Lin a look: This is a good opportunity to catch the traitor!
Zhao Ruoxi led the two to the door of the room and stopped. Looking at Ji Xingyi still carrying Jiang Lin in a princess carry, she hesitated and asked, "Are you sure you want to go in like this?"
Ji Xingyi: "It's alright."
When acting, you have to go all the way.
As soon as the door opened, more than a dozen gazes came over, and Ji Xingyi stopped in his tracks instantly.
They thought it was Jiang Yu's private meeting, but the room was packed with people. A huge crowd, including them, a total of 20 people.
Everyone was staring at Ji Xingyi and Jiang Lin.
It's really embarrassing.
Zhao Ruoxi shrugged: I already reminded you.
Jiang Lin's group consisted of 6 people, Jiang Yu, Lu Xiaoxiao, and Tan Zhengyang, while the remaining 11 people were players participating in the Yellow Springs instance.
Jiang Lin calculated that Liu Li and Cao Lu were on the second basement level, meaning that out of the 24 players, 3 were still missing. (Lu Xingtong was in the beginner dungeon and was not included.)
Jiang Yu arranged several chairs around the small table. Representatives from each team sat in the chairs, while the rest stood behind them like background figures.
That looks pretty intimidating.
Wang Liang, Ji Ran, and Lu Xingtong stood at the front, with an empty seat in front of them. It was clearly reserved for Jiang Lin and his group.
Wang Liang and Ji Ran didn't want to be the team leader; the position was too uncomfortable, and Lu Xingtong wasn't qualified.
After Ji Xingyi placed Jiang Lin in a seat, he stood against the wall next to Wang Liang.
Jiang Lin glanced at the people sitting in the seats. Apart from Jiang Yu, there were two men and one woman. Because everyone had returned to the age of 18, but from their appearance, the three of them did not show any distinctive features.
"What's with this roundtable meeting in the middle of the night?" Jiang Lin was too lazy to beat around the bush with Jiang Yu and went straight to the point.
"I was hoping you could rest for the night, but the situation isn't looking too good right now," Jiang Yu explained with a wry smile.
"We're only here to discuss this because of Jiang Shen. If you're not happy, you can leave," one of the short-haired boys said coldly, disliking Jiang Lin's attitude.
"I'd be more than happy to." Jiang Lin smiled and stood up, but Jiang Yu pressed down on his shoulder.
"Han Shen!" Jiang Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "Jiang Lin is my guest!"
The crew-cut boy, called Han Sen, snorted coldly and then remained silent.
"Hello, my name is Annie. I heard you're injured? Do you need any medicine?" the girl with pigtails among the three asked, trying to smooth things over.
"It's just a superficial injury, thanks." Jiang Lin glanced at Annie. The girl had a pure and innocent appearance, but anyone who could sit at this round table as the captain was bound to be a troublemaker.
"Excuse me, what weapon injured you?" Annie asked curiously.
Jiang Lin glanced at Jiang Yu and replied, "Trident."
Annie's big, grape-like eyes lit up immediately: "That golden trident from the movie?"
“Annie, that’s not the point.” The other long-haired girl behind the twin ponytails couldn’t help but facepalm.
