Peacock Blue pursed her lips and then cleared her throat. She said in a clear and slow voice, "Those who are inactive in taking part in guild activities or those who choose to not take part in guild activities without reason will have 50% of their current DKP deducted."

Such rule were part of every guild, but the punishments could vary. It was usually just for show and rarely applied. But at this time, Thousand Sunsets decided to use that particular rule to pressure Ye Ci.

The punishment was quite heavy, which was the reason why attendance in Steel-Blooded Battle Spear was high. It was all for the money.

"Thousand," Zero Arsenic tried to stop Thousand Sunsets. He then smiled at Ye Ci. But it was a smile filled with awkwardness, "Gongzi, do you have problems in real life tomorrow?"

"You don't have to stop me, Zero." Thousand Sunsets ignored Zero Arsenic's effort to salvage the situation. Ye Ci's refusal to reveal info about the Armored Giant Tortoise was already like a thorn in his hide. He was even more irritated when Ye Ci went missing during the fight between their guild and Tang Dynasty. Her announcement of her absence for the next day was the last straw.

He wanted to teach this insufferably arrogant Huntress to know that even if a small pot looked puny, it could not be crushed easily.

He wanted to show her that one does not simply disrespect Steel-Blooded Battle Spear, and one does not simply walk away from Thousand Sunsets.

"This is a guild activity. Why are you not taking part? Just because you're not appointed as the commander? Gongzi You, this is a guild, not your home. This is not a place for you to throw tantrums. You're famous, yes. But don't forget, you must also have a good character." As a former drill instructor, Thousand Sunsets was very good when it came to giving out life lessons.

"Many in the guild have had enough with your attitude. If it wasn't for me, do you think you'd still be able to stay in this guild?"

"Thousand, enough." Zero Arsenic was unsettled by Ye Ci's calm expression. He tried to stop Thousand Sunsets from continuing his rant. He then smiled at Ye Ci, "Gongzi, if you have something urgent, you can go offline first."

"Zero, don't be a pussy. You've always said that she was a great player. From what I see, she's just slightly better when it comes to PVE. So what? Can she be so famous without the backing of a guild?" Thousand Sunsets was not as tactful as Zero Arsenic. But his thoughts were not wrong. In Fate, one must always need a the help of a team. One could not achieve anything alone.

But, Ye Ci was no ordinary person.

Ye Ci stared at Thousand Sunsets and offered him a cold smile.

As expected, people who can't see eye to eye must walk separate ways.

"Since you've already put it that way, then farewell." Ye Ci left the guild without hesitation. She could not be bothered to talk back to Thousand Sunsets. His character would get him nowhere in Fate.

Narrow minded, short sighted, and pretentious.

Ye Ci was someone who would repay someone who did her wrong. She smile as she took a glance at Thousand Sunsets. Had he mistaken her for a pushover just because she remained silent?

"Gongzi," Zero Arsenic's facial expression, along with the rest of the guild members' expressions had changed the moment she left the guild; What the hell had happened?

Zero Arsenic desperately tried to stop Ye Ci from leaving, "Gongzi, Thousand has always been frank and outspoken. Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding. Don't think too much about it, please."
