Bai Fu's plan was to take this opportunity to slip into the shadows.

Since the Origins Agreement thought she was dead, why not just play dead for a while?

During her time pretending to be dead, she'd push Aijie to the forefront, letting Aijie become the new emblem of the Silent Court Camp, handling all the public affairs in her stead.

Doing this not only keeps Aijie tied to her, making it easier to deceive her, but also utilizes Aijie's fame to attract more players to join the Silent Court.

Everyone knows the 3.0 version has two main characters.

The main character representing darkness, Bai Fu, was the founder of Silent Court, and now the one representing light, Aijie, has also come to Silent Court and become its new icon. So which camp has a brighter future? Is there even a question?

Just join the Silent Court and it's settled!

"As expected of me, I instantly came up with a plan that perfectly fits the 3.0 version theme of light and dark!"

Bai Fu began explaining her plan to Aijie.

Of course, the plan she told Aijie was edited and polished.

She didn't mention using Aijie's name to attract players or using this chance to deceive Aijie.

Aijie was shocked, "You want me to become the new emblem of the Silent Court? No, no, no, Mother, that's too high a position for me. I just got here, how can I take such a high position? Let Mommy Julia, the Black King, King Bai, or Sister Shadow Fu do it!"

Bai Fu shook her head, "No need to decline, they have other things to do."

Under Bai Fu's persuasion, Aijie eventually took on this heavy responsibility.

But she was always worried.

Even though Bai Fu and Julia accepted her, and the Black King, King Bai, and Sister Shadow Fu would accept her because of Bai Fu, what about others?

Will the talents of the Silent Court, the Undying People of the Silent Court, accept her?

"They will, Aijie, you must trust in your own charm!"

"I am not comforting you; I am stating a fact. I created you, so how could I not know how charming you are?"

Bai Fu's persuasion left Aijie dumbfounded.

"Very well, go rest for now, Julia will take you out in a while to announce your new identity to the public."

"Yes, Mother."

With Little Bai Fu leading, Aijie headed to the guest room.

As soon as she left, Julia, who had been smiling all along, quickly appeared beside Bai Fu.

Her smile was even more cheerful.

"Can you tell me what's going on? How did you suddenly have a child this big?"

"There's no child. She misunderstood the relationship between her and me."

Bai Fu shrugged and told Julia the truth.

Wow, you are really wicked!

"Aren't you afraid she'll chase you down in anger after she fully regains her memory?"

"It's fine; I'll just run before she fully recovers her memory. Besides, who knows if she can even beat me then."

Julia: "..."

Alright, if you're determined to do this, I'll go along with this act then.

"Should we tell An Ya, Fei Ye, and the others the truth?"

"Yes, let's tell them. What if we slip and reveal a flaw?"

An hour later.

An Ya, Fei Ye, Cecilia, and other core members of the Silent Court all knew the inside story.

Another hour later.

Other members of the Silent Court camp and players all received a message that Chief Affairs Officer Julia would give a speech at the central square of the Superpower Garden, which was said to be very important.

[Could it be the start of a war?]

[Probably not so soon, maybe it's some big project.]

The players gathered and discussed the topic of the speech.

They tried using all their imagination, but when Julia called out Aijie, they were almost speechless with shock.

Aijie, Aijie, Aijie?

Isn't this Aijie?

Aijie has been famous for three versions, and in version 3.0 she's been on the official homepage. Most players in the game now know her, and among the NPCs, her fame is second only to Bai Fu.

So Silent Court's players immediately recognized her.

Does this make sense?

How did Aijie, representing light and a main character of the Revolutionary Army Camp, end up at Bai Fu's place, the leader of the dark side among the three Cosmic Level Civilizations?

Did she fail and get captured?

Oh, so the official story of light and dark intertwining refers to this!

Soon after, all the players present realized they had underestimated the situation.

Captured?

Bah.

Aijie came on her own.

Moreover, from now on, she will replace Julia as the new Chief Affairs Officer of the Silent Court!

Boom!

It was like a nuclear bomb being dropped into the ocean; instantly, a continuous wave of loud noise surged through the enormous square.

"What?"

Even Digging Girl, who usually proclaimed [Light is Born from Darkness] during version updates, was so shocked that she rubbed her eyes frantically.

It must be an illusion, this must be an illusion!

The players from the Revolutionary Army Camp, upon seeing this news through the live broadcast, felt completely paralyzed.

[No, man, can someone tell me what's going on here?]

[Where's my Jiebao, how did such a big Jiebao end up with Bai Fu?]

[Okay okay, so this is how light and darkness intertwine!]

[I'm freaking out, I just joined the Shadow Legion, and now you're telling me Aijie has defected to Bai Fu?]

[Holy crap, my wife was snatched away by Bai Fu!]

A large crowd of Revolutionary Army Camp players wailed in the livestream and community.

Meanwhile, another group of players, although not wailing, were even more blown away mentally than the wailing group.

The reason they joined the Revolutionary Army Camp was not that they favored it, but simply because they disliked Bai Fu, so they deliberately joined the camp opposing Bai Fu and featured the main character.

And now...

The main character defected!

Oh, the woe, what exactly is Bai Fu's charm!

[What should we do now?]

No one knew.

These players who disliked Bai Fu still couldn't overcome their mental hurdle, but other players started to have ideas.

Since Aijie defected to Bai Fu and was heavily relied upon by her, does this mean there's no future in the Revolutionary Army Camp in version 3.0, and that Bai Fu's side is the way to go?

It must be.

If so, switch camps!

"This way I can harvest a massive amount of experience again; these are high-quality chives that I've never exploited before."

Seeing the public opinion shift in the community, Bai Fu was in a great mood.

A few minutes later, she suddenly received a contact from Aijie.

Hmm?

A virtual image floated in front of Aijie: "Aijie, what do you need from me?"

Aijie's chest rose and fell slightly; she was excited.

Before stepping onto the podium at Julia's invitation, she was very nervous and worried she would get booed.

But the development of events completely exceeded her expectations.

Many people accepted her; not only did they not boo her, but they cheered and applauded her.

Of course, there were also some who didn't understand this decision.

Aijie could understand them, but she wanted to do something to make them accept her soon. Only then could she better unite the Silent Court and unleash its greater power.

However, she didn't know what to do, so she came to Bai Fu.

"Mother, I shouldn't disturb you, but..."

"This isn't a disturbance; you can ask me anything, and share your thoughts anytime. After all, I'm just idling too."

Aijie was very touched: "Mother, you're so good to me."

Bai Fu smiled: "Isn't it a mother's duty to spoil her daughter? Alright, let's get down to business. If you want to gain their trust, the best way is to show them your ability. This includes both management skills and personal power. Management skills can't be demonstrated short-term, but personal power is a different story."

Aijie: "So, Mother, you're suggesting that I fight them?"

Bai Fu rolled her eyes.

Fighting won't help; fighting them will only make them dislike you even more.

"What I mean is for you to guide them in their practice. This was originally my responsibility, but if you can replace me and do well, won't they accept you?"

Aijie's eyes lit up.

That makes sense.

So, what should she mentor them on?

Obviously on their fusion method of Spiritual Energy and Dark Energy... Ahem, that progress is too fast, it would be bad if it arouses Aijie's suspicion, let's start by guiding them to master different Spiritual Energy attributes!

Aijie nodded.

"I'll give it a try!"

"Go on, go on."

Bai Fu waved at Aijie, smiling.

Hehe.

Finally found a legitimate way to secretly learn Aijie's abilities!

While Bai Fu was secretly learning, there was finally new movement on the Apostle Holy City's side.
