Chapter 2765: The Online Game Master's 'Straight Male' Roommate 05

Cheng Lang had no idea about this; he finished processing his internship materials in the morning, sat through two rather dull required classes, had lunch with Xu Can at noon, and only in the afternoon did he have time to think about the mess in the game.

He found a corner in the library, logged into Wind and Moon Jianghu, and as soon as he went online, the private chat channel kept chiming nonstop—some asking how he was, some curious gossipers, and old friends from the Glazed Pavilion sending greetings.

Cheng Lang didn't have the heart to reply to all of them, blocked most, and first checked the world channel.

Just one look, and it was a big deal.

How could Xun Chen have posted a bounty? Is his feud with Jian Guang Leng really that big!

Cheng Lang hadn't even finished processing that when a newly popular post on the forum caught his eye—and the poster was none other than Jinyu Yuan.

《Solid Proof! Jian Guang Leng's post from a year ago exposed his back view photo, which matches He Liang Yue's real‑life appearance perfectly! 》

Cheng Lang's heart sank, and he clicked in.

In the post, Jinyu Yuan posted a screenshot of the old thread, and there were clearly two photos of Cheng Lang's back! Anyone who knows him would definitely recognize him!

Cheng Lang: "……"

Seeing ghosts in broad daylight.

【World】 Tiramisu: What a perfect catch—he can't get away now, right? He's been showing off campus life under the ID Jian Guang Leng for a year, with that back view being He Liang Yue herself—how could he still deny it?

【World】 Cheese Milk Cap: Jinyu Yuan really had it rough, encountering such a dare‑to‑act‑but‑not‑to‑own‑up scumbag—good on the Glazed Pavilion for kicking him out!

【World】 Taro Bubbles: Am I the only one who thinks this photo is a bit blurry? Shouldn't He Liang Yue come out and explain?

【World】 Orchid Latte: What's there to explain? The photos are out there! Has Master Xun Chen gone blind this time, hahaha? Take in the broken‑hearted master!

What offended Cheng Lang even more was that someone, based on the background in the photos and the previously leaked 'A University' info, was discussing in the thread, trying to dig up his real‑life details.

A chill shot up his spine, Cheng Lang felt like a fly was stuck in his throat, and he was nauseous to the core.

He initially thought it was just Huayu mistaking the person and persistently harassing him, but now it seems Jian Guang Leng not only impersonated someone to scam feelings, ran away when trouble came, and is now using such despicable tactics.

On the game screen, in the Luoxia Valley map, a crowd surged in with a hubbub, instantly surrounding He Liang Yue in the center.

Several of them even bore the Glazed Pavilion guild title.

【Nearby】 Jinyu Yuan Guard A: He Liang Yue, you scumbag! You cheated feelings! If I don't give you a lesson today, you won't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth goes!

【Nearby】 Summer Night Glazed: He Liang Yue, the guild's reputation has suffered because of you, sorry about that—today you just lie down and take it.

Cheng Lang looked at these IDs, some unfamiliar, some once familiar, and his anger flared to its peak.

How nice—kicking someone when they're down, pushing when the wall falls, treating him Cheng Lang like a lump of dough to be kneaded!

He wasn't the type to swallow his anger; the warrior wielding a great sword burst into a crimson aura, his fighting spirit ignited.

His moves were extremely fierce, purely a venting style; relying on his solid mechanics, he charged left and right through the siege of seven or eight, occasionally landing a counter‑kill.

Skill effects flew wildly in the valley; Cheng Lang held that breath inside him, treating it as stress relief, beating them back one by one—just right to hit today's online active time.

After Jin Chen came online and saw the map prompt, he teleported over to see his wife brandishing her great sword, a heroic figure fighting alone against the horde.

He marveled, his wife really can fight.

A figure arrived in luxurious purple robes, holding a jade‑bone folding fan, with the ID 'Xun Chen' atop his head, standing out conspicuously in the chaotic battle.

Xun Chen unfolded his fan and gave the ground a light sweep; a pale gold halo spread from him as its center. The circle of people around He Liang Yue hadn't reacted yet—it was as if an invisible wave slapped them, their health bars emptied instantly, and they all flew backward.

Everyone:???

【Nearby】 Summer Night Glazed: Master Xun Chen! What is this……

The purple‑clad noble turned to face the great‑sword warrior who had just finished his cleaving motion, slightly out of breath; he closed his fan and lightly tapped, a green halo encircling the warrior and instantly refilling his health.

A top‑tier instant‑recovery healing item, the Jade Dew Pill.

Xun Chen's head slowly produced a text bubble.

【Private Chat】 Xun Chen: Want to do the daily quests together?

Cheng Lang glanced at his fully replenished health bar and the few guys on the ground, his mood complex to the extreme.

Master, do you still trust me?

Having endured the forum's solid‑proof photos and the Glazed Pavilion old friends' betrayal‑and‑siege, even he himself felt this affair was like mud falling off his pants—it's either shit or it's shit.

Even if Xun Chen had a bigger grudge with Jian Guang Leng, seeing these black‑mail materials, he should weigh things—why wade into this muddy water?

He hesitated a moment, then typed.

【Private Chat】 He Liang Yue: Master, do you still trust me? Those forum photos……

The purple‑clad noble tilted his head slightly, glanced at him, and lightly tapped his closed fan twice against his palm, calm and composed.

【Private Chat】 Xun Chen: It's rare to have affinity—I naturally trust you.

I believe what I see, so I'm on your side.

Cheng Lang stared at that bubble; the foul air in his chest suddenly dissipated by half, and he twitched the corner of his mouth.

To hell with the forum's solid‑proof, to hell with the siege and slander.

At least, in this virtual world, there's still a top‑tier guy who, when he's being pointed at by thousands, tosses him a Jade Dew Pill.

He took a deep breath, moved his character forward, and accepted Xun Chen's team invitation.

【Party】 He Liang Yue: Thanks, Master… I haven't done the dailies yet.

【Party】 Xun Chen: Let's go^^

The purple‑clad mystic turned, swayed his fan slightly, and led the way out of the valley; the great‑sword warrior followed with long strides.

——

Xu Qian's little tricks are really clumsy and laughable.

The next day, Jin Chen listened to the boring finance theory lecture, fished out Ling Gun Gun and stuffed a few overly sweet candied haws from the school gate, ready to get to work.

【Pull up the forum post's edit history, find the original image before the replacement, then compare the links of the old and new posts.】

Ling Gun Gun hugged the candied haws with his paws, 【All right~】

He managed to finish just before class ended.

Jin Chen found the game's gossip alt account 007, known for leaks, and sent it a private message.

【Private Chat】 Xun Chen: 3000 gold, post a forum thread. (picture)

【Private Chat】 Xiao Hao 007: Sure! Great god, so generous! 3000 gold for copywriting, what style do you want? Here we recommend the shocking style.

【Private Chat】 Xun Chen: Anything works, (picture) This is the real identity info of Jian Guang Leng; add a line at the end of the post letting He Liangyue contact you, don't reveal it's from me.

【Private Chat】 Xiao Hao 007: … Great god, this might be a bit against the rules.

【Private Chat】 Xun Chen: Add another 2000 gold.

【Private Chat】 Xiao Hao 007: Deal!

After closing the private chat window, Jin Chen also closed the computer.

Just as the after-class bell rang, a few girls by the window complained softly, saying it had snowed outside but it was the most annoying sleet, not romantic at all.

Jin Chen tilted his head to look out the window.

The sky was leaden gray, with fine rain threads mixed with snowflakes too small to discern with the naked eye.

Not romantic? Not necessarily.

Jin Chen said to Ling Gun Gun: 【I didn't bring an umbrella.】

Ling Gun Gun: 【… burp?】

【Let me check the mall…… wrong!】

Ling Gun Gun sprang to life, 【Host, could your implied meaning be……】

Jin Chen's lips curled slightly, 【Where is he.】

【Next door teaching building, second floor!】 Ling Gun Gun quickly reported the location.

【Meeting in the rain, how romantic!】 Ling Gun Gun excitedly rubbed his little paws.

Jin Chen picked up his backpack and walked out of the classroom with the after-class crowd.
