"In short, that's what happened. The great detective—no, the great guild member, Miss Gongsun Qing—after spending six months as a C-rank guild member being as still as a statue and as obedient as a lamb, has finally decided to fulfill the duties of a proper guild member and investigate this matter." Yu Lian told Feifei's holographic projection, which had appeared above his communicator.
"So that's why you talked my future leading lady into joining an adventure game?" Feifei said with a cold laugh.
"I told you, I didn't talk her into it. She decided for herself... Wait, your future leading lady? Didn't you say she'd get a fair audition at most? And that she'd be a supporting actress?"
"That's not the point. The point is that the important actor I'd picked has run off."
"She won't run off, she won't run off. She wants both the truth and the role in Green!" Yu Lian imitated Gongsun Qing's pose from the time, making a very confident grabbing motion.
Feifei gave a scornful laugh.
Yu Lian nodded, then said proudly, "All right, you're right. Your actor really did go off to join an exploration adventure game. But please don't call it talking her into it. I merely guided her. I laid out all the risks for her."
Looking at how utterly unapologetic he was, Feifei could only sigh and say, "Yu'er, have you considered that since this matter might involve the Lotak Star Sector, it could very well touch on the conflict between the Alliance Central Government and its member states? In the Alliance, that's the most politically sensitive issue of all."
Everyone knew that the Alliance called itself the beacon of civilization in the universe, the birthplace of democracy and freedom, and the starting point for every fair and just ideal.
