That series of moves…
Su Penghao gulped nervously. “You are Zi Chuan, aren’t you?!”
From the first time he had fought Shen Liangchuan and had been mercilessly wiped out, Su Penghao had felt that Shen Liangchuan’s playing style was strangely familiar.
And in the last match, Shen Liangchuan had not fully manifested his moves.
In this match, however, he had fully demonstrated his characteristic playing style.
This was what had led Su Penghao to the realization.
He was Zi Chuan.
And she was Xiao Qiao.
Su Penghao’s gaze shifted to Qiao Lian.
Hence…
“Are you husband and wife?”
The moment he said this, all eyes in the room instantaneously looked at Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan.
The Godfather, The Deputy Godfather and even Peerless exclaimed in surprise, “So Mrs. Shen is actually Coach Qiao? My god!”
The atmosphere in the competition room was now better than ever.
Looking at their faces, Qiao Lian grinned.
But as she was grinning, a large warm hand suddenly covered her small one.
She froze, seeing Shen Liangchuan holding her hand. He asked, “Your hand… What happened?”
Qiao Lian had a sharp sensation on the tip of her nose and immediately looked away, trying to force a smile. “Nothing.”
Then, she stuffed her trembling hand into her pocket and glared at all the team members fiercely, saying, “Don’t lower your guard. We still have one more round to fight and we’ll have to win it before we win the competition properly. Focus on the match! I’ll leave now.”
Having said this, Qiao Lian turned and walked out of the gaming room.
The moment she stepped out, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Her hand was still stuffed in her pocket and the trembling worsened. A sense of helplessness washed over her.
There was no doubt now that CQ would clinch the champion title.
She should be glad for that.
But seeing how the team members were so happy, she suddenly felt lonely and helpless.
Once upon a time, it had been her dream that one day she would be next to Zi Chuan in the competition arena, fighting the most perfect battle of their lives together…
But now…
That remained only a dream.
Qiao Lian took a deep breath and tried to suppress that painful sense of loss. Then, she looked up and walked to the seats in the audience.
Purple Fairy had already returned to the competition room to exert some pressure on King Team.
Qiao Lian went back to her seat and, at this point, saw Sun Linan coming towards her. “Qiao Lian, did you see the match? Do you like CQ more, or King?
Feeling down, Qiao Lian did not reply.
And this made Sun Linan feel down too.
Everyone with eyes could see who was going to win this match. There was no suspense.
If King Team could not clinch the champion title, what was the use of gifting her that team?!
Amidst all these different thoughts, the third round of the game officially commenced.
Meanwhile…
At the entrance of the competition venue.
A rather apologetic person with a nervous expression rushed in.
The guard stopped her. “Hi, the competition has begun, we can’t let you in now.”
The girl with a gaunt face said with a stubborn expression, “I’m CQ’s team member Ancestor White Bones, I wish to enter to play in the competition!”
The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather were still nursing their injuries.
Even if Qiao Lian had been able to play, they would still be short of players.
She had expended great efforts to escape from home.
The guard at the door paused and said, “I’m sorry, are you able to prove your identity?”
Ancestor White Bones shook her head.
She had escaped with only ten dollars to pay for her transport, she didn’t even have her cell phone with her.
And at this point, a cab pulled up sharply next to her. A middle-aged woman came charging out of the vehicle. “Well done you! You dare to run way!”
