Chapter 56: Level Ranking
Xie Feng frowned slightly at Mu Wuying's intimate movement. He waved his hands away, however, as if she knew what he was going to do, she hugged him tighter as she said in a whisper: "Just let me be like this for a moment, please... please".
Hearing Mu Wuying's tone of voice shaking slightly as if she was going to cry at any moment, Xie Feng hesitated for a moment. After thinking about it for a second or two, he sighed and put his hands back into his trouser pockets.
Mu Wuying sighed with relief and closed her eyes, only enjoying the familiar warmth but so distant that she longed for it, even if it was only for a few minutes.
After 5 full minutes, Xie Feng lightly touched Mu Wuying's hand that was still around his waist, indicating that it was time.
She did not make it harder for him and although not at all willing, she slowly let go. After releasing him, she immediately felt that something important to her was missing. Still, Mu Wuying took a step back.
Xie Feng turned and looked at Mu Wuying with a complicated gaze. She had tears at the corner of her eyes, threatening to fall at any moment. Still, she continued to smile.
"What are you planning to do?". Xie Feng asked her.
It is a question that perhaps another person might not understand, but which Mu Wuying and Xie Feng understand very well. A question that he had asked her many times.
"Feng, just believe me, please. I would never, no matter what, never do anything that is harmful to you". Mu Wuying responded in a soft tone of voice. Her voice seemed to have a hint of imploring.
In contrast to when there were more people around, Mu Wuying no longer used Xie Feng's last name, only calling him by his first name.
Hearing the same answer as always from her, Xie Feng simply gave up and decided to stop asking about it.
He shook his head and changed the conversation: "Forget it then. We should go back, otherwise others will start to worry".
After saying that, Xie Feng passed by Mu Wuying and started walking to the restaurant again. However, when he heard Mu Wuying's voice, his movements ceased completely.
"Feng, you should take off your coat. We were hugging just now so Xie Yao might suspect or misinterpret something".
Listening to Mu Wuying's gentle reminder, Xie Feng was even more certain that she was not planning anything against him. However, he had no idea what she was doing.
In the past, shortly after the death of Xie Yao's parents, she broke off her relationship with him even while she was crying desperately.
Although he does not consider that he has done anything bad, to avoid unnecessary problems, Xie Feng took off his coat and continued to move inside the building.
Mu Wuying stared at his back until he disappeared from her sight, as she always did every time she saw him. Then, she looked at the lake and a smile of sadness along with a pair of determined eyes appeared on her face.
She looked down and, in her hand, there was a small dark hair. She squeezed the hair between her fingers and whispered: "I will definitely help you... even if the cost is my happiness".
After that, she put the hair in a tiny plastic bag and put it inside her jacket pocket.
Adjusting her mood, Mu Wuying walked to the private box again, with a smile on her face.

After dinner, everyone went back to the university.
Mu Wuying stayed in the women's dormitory, as did her friends. On the other hand, Hu Chen's trio went to the men's dorm.
Finishing the goodbyes, Xie Feng drove the Land Rover to his house in the villa complex again.
Right now it was almost 8 o'clock pm, so Xie Feng went to his room quickly, making Xie Yao laugh.
She naturally knows that he was anxious to get back into the game, so she didn't say anything about it either.
They had already eaten dinner early anyway, so it's okay.

[Ding!..... Welcome to Samsara Online. Hope you have a happy reincarnation].
After about 15 hours, the message of familiar, familiar female voice echoed in Xie Feng's ears again. Welcoming him to the world he so cherishes.
Xie Feng didn't spend much time watching the other players wandering around the city but at a glance he could see that the number of people was much more than what he had seen yesterday.
As he looked at the map of the city, he quickly moved to the point marked in yellow, indicating available missions.
The Mercenary Guild building was located in the eastern part of Ciudad Eminentis.
The Guild of Mercenaries is the place where all players can go to receive missions. However, unlike Beginner's Village, missions in major cities have prerequisites that the players must meet before they can freely accept missions.
After running for about 10 minutes, Xie Feng finally saw a large building appear in front of his eyes.
The building was several meters long and wide, so the number of players who could enter must have been several hundred thousand and probably still not look congested.
Still, this is also logical since the total scale of Eminentis City can only be described as terrifying. Therefore, its buildings also have a huge dimension.
However, as Xie Feng was about to enter through the two giant doors, an annunciation of the system sounded in his ears.
[Ding!.... Server Announcement (Chinese Battle Zone): Congratulations to all the players of the Chinese Battle Zone. Because more than 50% of Chinese players have passed the level 10 mark, officially started their journey into the Samsara world and successfully completed their first profession change, the level ranking has been officially opened. Now you can check the 10 players with the highest level in the Adastreia Continent]
[Ding!... You are currently at the top of the level ranking list. To protect your privacy you want to hide your name?]
Xie Feng mocked slightly and said: "Hide? There is nothing to hide. Show my name".
[...]
Xie Feng opened the level ranking panel immediately after the system announcement ended.
