Under the management of Yuan Ziyi, the traditional Purple Robe Pavilion has been modernized. The mix of a medical organization and a martial arts sect has gradually made its mark in the marketplace under Yuan Ziyi's leadership.
However, Wei Yuan found it strange that Yuan Ziyi's father, the current Purple Robe Marquis, seemed to have no outdated notions. How could he allow Yuan Ziyi to modernize the Purple Robe Pavilion like this?
At least it was clear that the Purple Robe Pavilion no longer existed; it had transformed into a new pharmaceutical group. It was evident that the sign of the Purple Robe Pavilion had been taken over by Shen Qingyi. To avoid an encounter between Yang Ying and his people, Wei Yuan accompanied Yang Ying out to the street and hailed a taxi for her.
"This is your salary. You go home first; I'll drive the car back."
Wei Yuan's seemingly ordinary words felt like a husband reminding his wife in this atmosphere. At least Yang Ying and the taxi driver had that impression. Moreover, Wei Yuan noticed that the driver was a man in his forties with a weathered face, melancholic eyes, and sparse facial hair—definitely a rather sleazy-looking guy.
The driver kept glancing at Yang Ying through the rearview mirror, staring at her since she got in. Clearly, he was captivated by her alluring charm; true sexiness cannot be concealed!
Seeing that Wei Yuan wasn't getting into the car, a sly smile appeared on the driver's lips. Wei Yuan could only pray silently for him. He wasn't worried about Yang Ying's safety; with her skills, if this man dared to act inappropriately, he could only wish himself good luck!
Otherwise, it was likely that tomorrow's newspaper would feature a headline: "Driver's Sleaziness Leads to Female Passenger's Fierce Retaliation!"
After dropping Yang Ying off, Wei Yuan returned along the same route. Coincidentally, his friend Gu Jing was at the shop. Wei Yuan mentioned Yang Ying's situation to him, and Gu Jing, being a good-natured person, didn't insist on keeping her around unnecessarily.
"Then let her come over; I'll settle her salary," he said.
This showed how decent Gu Jing was. Wei Yuan replied directly, "I've already calculated it for you; the money has been given."
Wei Yuan had worked for Gu Jing before and knew exactly how much to pay Yang Ying. After Gu Jing received the batch of repaired Video Disks and tapes, he settled accounts with Wei Yuan.
That bag of Video Disks and tapes fetched over twenty thousand at once. Although this amount wasn't considered a fortune for him now, it was hard-earned money. He also made quite a few friends through this endeavor, which made it worthwhile.
At that moment, Wei Yuan noticed that Gu Jing's computer desktop was logged into a chat platform called YY, which had become popular in recent years for online group chats. Gu Jing had set up a Fan Club there with hundreds of active participants. Wei Yuan joined in on the conversation for a bit.
Many of them were specifically asking Gu Jing to send those Video Disks and tapes over for Wei Yuan to repair; these were their treasured collectibles. Naturally, they were very excited to learn from Gu Jing that these had been repaired by Wei Yuan.
"Brother, where did you learn this skill?" asked a kind voice.
"Come on, do you think anyone would tell you?" retorted another man with a sharp voice.
"Hey, from the sound of your voice, you don't seem very old. Do you have a partner? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you like older women? How about sending me a photo?"
A delicate female voice immediately caught Wei Yuan off guard; it seemed that when separated by just a line of connection, people felt free to say anything.
Wei Yuan exchanged a few pleasantries with them. Some of these people had an understanding of movies that was beyond what most could imagine. Even those who weren't particularly obsessed with films had their own fascinations with visuals. For instance, the older woman who teased Wei Yuan had an impressive grasp of historical dramas—she knew which dynasties were worth watching, what clothes to wear, how to style hair, what makeup to use, which plots were engaging, and how to leverage mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships to appeal to countless housewives. She was well-versed in all of it!
Indeed, there are experts among the masses; every field has its champions. Wei Yuan couldn't help but admire them.
After spending some time with his friend Gu Jing, Wei Yuan greeted the members of the Fan Club through the chat and got familiarized with some faces. According to Gu Jing's introduction, the Fan Club was filled with talented individuals from various industries, making it feel like a treasure trove to Wei Yuan!
After bidding farewell to Gu Jing, he got into his Mercedes. At that moment, he was focused on quickly wrapping up his tasks so he could return the car to the Blue Old Man. He hurried home, intending to spend some time with his cousin Xie Yufei and take her home while he had the car.
When he opened the door, the shared apartment seemed very quiet at first. However, as Wei Yuan approached the door, he heard the incessant clacking of a keyboard—extremely grating!
He turned the doorknob and stepped inside. His cousin Xie Yufei was sitting at her desk with her back to him, wrapped in a blanket while playing games on the laptop that Han Ling had lent her.
At that moment, she was so engrossed in her game that she didn't notice Wei Yuan had entered the room. The screen displayed the turn-based game that Wei Yuan had been playing; her character "Cosmic Super Beauty" was standing in Shura Field surrounded by dozens of other players.
Shura Field was the only place in this game where players could openly fight each other. However, it appeared that Xie Yufei had been tricked into coming here; after being killed once, she tried to confront them but ended up getting killed again. The reason was simple: these players found her account name repulsive and suspected it might belong to someone pretending to be female. To prevent this "dead shemale" from scamming others out of money and emotions using a female account, they decided to take action!
Many grudges arise from such inexplicable situations. At this point, Xie Yufei was furious and even suspected that her cousin was cross-dressing as a girl just to kill her! Was there no justice?
"Just wait! I'll use my brother's old account against you!" Yufei said fiercely.
"Hey, weren't you supposed to be resting because of your cold? How come you're still online?"
Wei Yuan's voice came from behind her like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Xie Yufei's anger.
Damn it! She had been so absorbed in her game that she hadn't noticed her brother had returned. What should she do now?
Xie Yufei couldn't help but feel flustered, suddenly at a loss for what to do. She forced herself to squeeze out a few tears and complained to Wei Yuan, "Brother, I've been bullied!"
"Let's have a serious discussion about this pretending to be sick issue first!"
Wei Yuan was not fooled by her tearful act; instead, he looked serious as he listened to her say, "This is strange. I was just running a fever, and now it's suddenly gone. I feel strong all over. How amazing!"
"Is that really possible?" Wei Yuan asked with a skeptical expression.
Xie Yufei quickly nodded and said, "Of course! It's just like playing dead. I just specifically looked it up on Baidu. It says that when spring arrives, people can feel fatigued because their bodies can't adapt immediately, which manifests as weakness and a hot head, but then it can get better all of a sudden."
Wei Yuan's mouth dropped open in disbelief. Where did this girl learn all this? She was actually quite convincing and had her facts straight!
"There's such a miraculous thing? Move aside; let me ask Baidu!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yufei hurriedly said, "Brother, there's no rush. Let's deal with the current situation first. Look at how I've been bullied; won't you help me?"
With her big eyes welling up with tears, she looked at Wei Yuan with a pitiful expression. This was her greatest weapon; ever since they were young, whenever she looked at him like this, he would do anything for her.
"Who bullied you?"
Xie Yufei directly showed him the situation in writing. She opened the chat log and told Wei Yuan, "You can see for yourself."
At that moment, Wei Yuan realized that his cousin had joined their team for an activity, but out of the five members in the group, four were male. After seeing her outrageous game name, they assumed she was also male and began discussing some rather adult topics in the group.
As an underage girl, she naturally protested against this.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but could you please stop?"
Upon hearing this, the others became displeased: "What does it matter to you? Just by looking at you, it's clear you're just another trap trying to act innocent and cute to fool us. You don't have enough skill!"
"What kind of girl would choose such a disgusting nickname? Clearly just a trap!"
Cousin couldn't stand being doubted like this and said, "What makes you think I'm a guy? If you don't believe me, just go on QQ, and I'll send you a photo."
Immediately, someone in the group expressed skepticism: "Don't trust this shemale; they must be trying to send us a virus. Don't fall for it."
So, Cousin thought if she couldn't deal with them, she could at least avoid them. She decided to leave the group, but little did she know that the activity wasn't over yet. As soon as she left, the other four members were unhappy. The team leader then sent her a message to trick her into Shura Field, where the four of them took turns slaughtering her game character several times!
When Xie Yufei ran back to Shura Field to confront them, before she could say anything, the team leader was already excited: "This idiot actually came back to seek death!"
Once again, they showed mercy and fulfilled Cousin's wish for death. As a result, she lost an item of equipment this time, which made her furious. Just as she was preparing to log into Wei Yuan's previous account for revenge, Wei Yuan returned.
After understanding the whole situation, Xie Yufei looked at Wei Yuan pitifully and said, "Brother, you'll help me get revenge, right?"
Wei Yuan patted Cousin's head and said, "Do I even need to say that? If I don't stand up for you, how can I be your brother?"
"To hell with you all!" Wei Yuan suddenly got angry.
In the past, when Wei Yuan played games, he often clashed with others; one little annoyance would lead to a fight. This kind of situation is very common in online gaming—no one needs to hold back; after all, the strong are respected. Many grievances accumulate this way.
So there's a saying from a movie that fits perfectly even in the virtual world: Where there are people, there are grievances! Where there are grievances, there is a world of conflict!
