"What?" A new voice suddenly exclaimed from the duo Blademasters' backs.
Huang Shaotian and Lu Hanwen jumped in their seats, "C-Captain! How are you?" Huang Shaotian clutched his chest and hastily greeted. "You surprised us."
"Yeah, Captain Yu, don't exclaim so suddenly like that," Lu Hanwen agreed.
But Yu Wenzhou ignored their statement and held out his hand, "Here," Yu Wenzhou said to Lu Hanwen, who looked at Yu Wenzhou's hands in confusion.
"What..?" Lu Hanwen hesitantly asked.
"Your hand," Yu Wenzhou patiently said.
Lu Hanwen looked at Huang Shaotian who shot him a look, finally, the boy bravely offered his right hand-
"The left one," Yu Wenzhou cutted off and Lu Hanwen froze before offering his left hand. Yu Wenzhou looked at Lu Hanwen's little hand and inspect it slightly.
"Err..." Lu Hanwen hesitated. "Am I in trouble?"
"You said your hand's hurting, no? It seemed like a light cramp, rest up. You're dismissed for today, just don't play any computer game for the day, understand?" Yu Wenzhou smiled gently to the boy and patted his head.
Lu Hanwen's heart skipped a beat and he shot another look to Huang Shaotian who rapidly shook his head, "A-am I really not in trouble?" Lu Hanwen asked again.
"No, you can come back tomorrow," Yu Wenzhou gently said and pulled the boy to exit the private training room by hand before asking a passing staff to call Lu Hanwen's parents to get him home.
"Captain Yu, I'm not in the wrong, I swear. Don't send me home, please!" Lu Hanwen whined pitifully, tugging on Yu Wenzhou's shirt like a lost child. "Huang Shao invited me to play with a normal player in the game, and we just played. The opponent is so strong so I got a bit too reckless, If anyone is to be blamed, It's Huang Shao!"
"No!" Huang Shaotian jumped up. " I mean, I was just testing. Captain, it wasn't my fault, I was just being a good teacher and let Little Lu to see a wider world. Besides, you're the one who said that he's fine. Little Lu, don't make a little problem to be a big trouble!"
"Lie! You said, 'come for a bit, let me introduce you to your possible back-up if you annoy me enough'!" Lu Hanwen accussed.
"I was just kidding! Kidding!" Huang Shaotian defended as Yu Wenzhou's 'I'm disappointed' smile directed his way.
"He was threatening me, Captain!" Lu Hanwen wailed in an extremely wronged way.
"You said he told you to go against someone? Who is that?" Yu Wenzhou finally deined to talk and dismissed the awaiting staff with his phone. He took Lu Hanwen to sit on a nearby couch with Huang Shaotian followed behind him.
"I don't know, someone with One-Inch Love as an ID? That sounded girly to be honest, will I get replaced with a girl so Blue Rain will let go of its title as the historical monastery?!"
"No, no, not all," Yu Wenzhou coaxed.
"One-Inch Love is a boy, oi," Huang Shaotian's sweatdropped.
"So..." Yu Wenzhou started. "You went against One-Inch Love and..." Yu Wenzhou trailled off.
"Little Lu won," Huang Shaotian hastily reported.
Yu Wenzhou sighed subtly, "But your hand is in pain afterwards?" Yu Wenzhou nodded at Lu Hanwen.
"He was so fast, so I also gone fast..." Lu Hanwen looked down. Yu Wenzhou patted his head and looked at Huang Shaotian for an explaination.
Huang Shaotian scratched his head and opened his mouth to explain, "Lord Grim and his companions went up for Heavenly Challenge, and well, I thought it was a good chance to gauge One-Inch Love's potential as he always avoided me before- must be that shameless guy's fault! He always kept the good thing to himself. He already has that Battlemage girl, why is he keeping a Blademaster? Can't he give me one? I-"
"Shaotian,"
"After that... Well, I saw Little Lu eating Ice cream and he didn't offer me some, soo... I took him to gauge One-Inch Love's potential instead with some playful jokes..." Huang Shaotian spun on his spinning chair and said. "But he's not as great, captain! Don't worry, our Little Lu is greater by far!" Huang Shaotian grinned and ruffled Lu Hanwen's head, who smiled happily back.
"I see, Little Lu, you're still young, don't be disheartened. Just keep training, you can go back to the camp hall, no need to train, just sit around is fine." Yu Wenzhou assured and sent the relieved Lu Hanwen out of the private training room.
After sending the boy out, Yu Wenzhou closed the door and the room descended into a solemn silence.
"The same in potential. Might be more if he's under Old Ye's guidance," Huang Shaotian spoke up as he leaned back on his spinning chair.
"I see," Yu Wenzhou narrowed his eyes. The only reason why they made it seemed light earlier is to assure Lu Hanwen to not to worry, but now Lu Hanwen is absent. Bussiness is bussiness.
"And he absolutely under Old Ye ahh," Huang Shaotian spun his chair around, his heart ached to have such a Blademaster talent in another camp.
Yu Wenzhou turned back, "I agree One-Inch Love worth a notice. But must you threatened Little Lu like that?" Yu Wenzhou said disapprovingly. 'Possible back-up'? a child like Lu Hanwen would seriously feel threatened when they were told that news."
"I didn't think One-Inch Love would grow that tremedously to the point he can even make Little Lu's hand hurting," Huang Shaotian pursed his lips. "I expected a good fight but not so intense just to boost Little Lu's spirit and taught him some few points..." Huang Shaotian moved to the computer and played the match's recording. If the matches played out as Huang Shaotian's expected, Lu Hanwen would doubled up his confidence and learnt many things.
Two birds with one stone.
"It ended up backfired," Yu Wenzhou pointed out.
"You have no idea how panicked I was when he said his hand was hurting, until you surprised us..." Huang Shaotian huffed and closed the recordings to copy it to a flashdisk and gave it Yu Wenzhou without being told to. "Here, the copy."
Yu Wenzhou received the copy and nodded.
"Who was that?" Fourth Ye asked as he sat beside Little Ye, blanky staring at the screen where One-Inch Love's win rate had decreased by quite a sum.
Second Ye looked up, while his hand is still stroking Little Ye's head, he answered, "A candidate to be the next Sword Saint, Huang Shaotian's successor, Lu Hanwen."
Little Ye perked up and Fourth Ye sighed, "It's useless with that flashy introduction, I don't even know this Huang Shaotian well, aside for the live matches in the TV, let alone his future successor."
"It's not gonna hurt to know more," Second Ye shrugged.
Little Ye caught Second Ye's hand, that was caressing his head, and put it down, "How old is he?" Little Ye asked, furrowing his brows.
"Younger than you are, by two to three years," Second Ye answered carelessly.
Fourth Ye's brows jumped a bit, "Twelve? Thirteen? Ha, our E-sport is really growing," he smiled nostalgicly.
Little Ye looked down, "Twelve?" he murmured disbelievingly.
Second Ye smirked, "There's a sky beyond the sky, why? You're depressed? Disheartened to lose in the hands of a younger boy? Is this your first lost? Stressed? If you did, you better get your act together or scram out of the team," Second Ye said.
"Second Ye," Fourth Ye sighed.
"Who says I'm disheartened?!" Little Ye retorted indignantly. "Who cares if he won and he's younger than I am? Next thing we met..." Little Ye raised his chin and an arrogant, haughty aura seeped from his eyes.
Second Ye and Fourth Ye smirked slightly, there it is, the uncontrolled young master demeanor. Rather break than bent, they never should have worried about the youngest, it's useless to.
"Next thing we met, he'll still have to call me senior," Little Ye declared confidently.
*piiip* *piiip* *piiip*
"Hello?" Second Ye answered the phone with elegant disguised voice, if it's another those fake grandprize promises, he'd curse like a rich grand aunt, trust him.
"Who is this? Are you a lab staff? Did you arrested the house's dwellers because of illegal cloning?" Big Ye's voice mocked on the other end.
Second Ye sighed, "It's me, Second Ye, do you have any bad news for us?"
"Bad news? Haha! Sadly, no."
Second Ye rolled his eyes, "Then, I'm hanging up."
"Why are you so snarky to me?"
"I just don't like my future," Second Ye admitted.
"Deal with it, anyways, I'm calling to discuss the names for you guys!" Big Ye exclaimed delightfully.
"... Names?" Who's having a baby? Big Ye? Impossible, they just got here. Ye Qiu? ... It can't be right? Before Second Ye's mind could go too far, Big Ye's voice resounded again.
"For us, idiot. We can't use our original name, what should the Alliance do when there are six Ye Xius registered in the same team?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about that."
"Er Ye is so unreliable," Big Ye teased as Second Ye pressed the speaker button.
"Children! C'mere!" Second Ye yelled and rapid thump could be heard.
"... I like it when they just came after being called, like domesticated animals..." Big Ye chuckled.
"Dinner's ready?!" Fifth Ye asked as he came into the kitchen before got roughly pulled back.
"The barbeque-flavored noodles is mine tonight!" Fourth Ye declared.
"I want a pudding~!" Little Ye acted spoiled.
"No. The dinner is not ready yet, Big Ye called to discuss about our new names," Second Ye gestured to the telephone.
"Children, do you miss me?" Big Ye greeted them with a chuckle.
"Big Ye!"
"We miss you so much!"
"When will you go home?"
"... Hahaha, that means no, I guess," Big Ye shook his head, he knew well what kind of expression they wore when saying those heartwarming words, it's a kind of bored, indifferent, and impatient mixed as one.
He's right by the way, all three youngests rolled their eyes.
"Alright, lighten up. What kind of name you guys wanted?" Big Ye asked.
"As long as it's not Edward," Fifth Ye blankly said as he eyed Second Ye. "It remind me of that ridiculous vampire movie that I forced myself to watch with Mucheng."
"I got it from there, exactly," Second Ye indifferently admitted.
"Can't we just used the numbers like Fifth Ye did in the All-Star weekend?"
"You mean like, Xiuer, Xiusi, Xiuliu? Guys, that's just sad," Big Ye said. "Why don't we just changed Chaos Theory to be Chaos Formulation to fit the numbers?" he mocked.
"That's a good idea," Second Ye indifferently agreed.
"Formulation sounded smart and commanding," Little Ye nodded sagely.
"Use another characters for the 'er', 'si', 'wu' and 'liu', of course," Fourth Ye impatiently said.
"I'd rather die than to have 'er' child in my name," Second Ye blandly said.
"Don't even dare to use 'wu' for crying," Fifth Ye also interjected.
"Now you give me ideas..." Big Ye chuckled. "To be honest, I already have some good ones."
"Like what?" Second Ye asked.
"Like, Qian Liyan, Shun Feng'er, EnPisi-"
"Ten Brothers?! Are you kidding us? You're naming us after the main characters of Ten Brothers?!" Fifth Ye cutted him off with incredulous exclaimation.
Fourth Ye facepalmed, "Oh Big Ye..."
"I like Qian Liyan's name. Thousand Li Seer, don't you think it fitted? I saw everything, like future," Big Ye said.
"Use that for your own!"
"Alright."
"Don't 'Ye QianLiyan' is too long?" Second Ye asked.
"I don't care," Big Ye said carelessly.
"Hmm, I'll use Ye Shunfeng then," Second Ye decided.
"Good choice! We can be twins and reasoned that our parents liked the legend too much!" Big Ye said delightfully as he noted down the name.
"I'm not taking En Pi Si, it's sucks," Fourth Ye extinguished his cigarette and mulled for a while
"How about, Si for Temple? 寺" Second Ye suggested.
"I like that! Use that!" Fourth Ye agreed instantly, not wanting to make this longer.
" I'll take Xiuwu, Wu for noon? 午" Fifth Ye said after mulling for a bit
"Poetic, Little Ye, how about you?" Big Ye asked.
"Give me a good name," Little Ye hummed.
"Tong Tou-"
"No," Little Ye sharply cutted off with unimpressed tone. "I want to follow Fourth Ye and Fifth Ye's fashion. Find a good one!" Little Ye said.
"... Ye XiuXiao? Xiaoxiu? XiaoXiao? Xiuliu? How about Tong Tou Liu?"
"No," Little Ye stubbornly refused. "Xiuliu." He made up his mind
"Alright, alright, I'll find the suitable character, I have to go, take care you all! Don't randomly bumped into creeps!"
"Why did you ended the call?! I wanted to talk too!" Ye Qiu whined as he snatched the phone off of Big Ye's clutch.
"It's useless, your original twin is not there," Big Ye crossed his arms.
"All of you are technically my twins too! Nagging at you are all the same!" Ye Qiu huffed and give the phone back.
"Spare us," Big Ye said mockingly. "You've heard the kids, go and make IDs with those names," Big Ye said as he tossed the phone into his bag.
Ye Qiu crossed his arms, "No matter what age you are, you're still annoying and demanding. I'll naturally make it, just leave it to me."
"You have to," Big Ye shrugged as he slung his backback over his shoulder.
"Where are you going?" Ye Qiu demanded as he watched his different-timeline brother gathered his things.
"Bussiness," Big Ye said carelessly.
Ye Qiu's gaze turned dubious, "Are you serious?"
Big Ye turned to look at him and raised an eyebrow, "What?"
Ye Qiu furrowed his brows and scowled, "Don't give me that 'what'? Where are you going while I'm making your new IDs?"
Big Ye smiled, "Just don't tell the others," Big Ye winked and opened the door to exit.
Ye Qiu huffed, "You know you can just leave it to me."
Big Ye simply smiled towards his different-timeline younger twin and promptly exitted.
"Fuck! There are two Lord Grims!" Was the poor normal player's only exclamation before he was comboed to death.
"Fuck!" Everyone cursed out as they saw how quick the informant died.
"The Boss! The boss! Secure the boss! Guard the tanks! Quick!"
"Fuck! Who is that Blademaster!"
"AAAHHH!"
"Someone, help! This Battlemage is simply outrageous!"
"AAAHHH Blueberry Pie died!"
"Healer! Heal, dammit! Sacred Fire! Whatever, support!"
God knows how many Sacred Fires were litted up at the same time and aimed at the unwelcomed menaces, but it's useless as they all nimbly dodged, much to the Clerics' despairs.
Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Spring froze for a split second before continue to rapidly Aerial Firing away and perched himself in a high ground. Two... what?
Zhang Jiale was guarding and helping his Blossom Valley guild, as always, he had always on guard for the Autumn-named Sharpshooter who might or might not be the newly retired veteran, which everybody hated yet adored at the same time.
Autumn Tree.
Zhang Jiale knew the cue of Autumn Tree's appearance was a cluster of normal players yelled and mysteriously banded forward together, forgetting the boss. Though the hostility is not directed at Autumn Tree himself, but rather to the Unspecialized who was somehow always present whenever Autumn Tree is.
Truth be told, Zhang Jiale got a bit puzzled over these two players. One of them had a shameless temper and always make the battlefield even more chaotic without anyone's notice. Whereas, the other one had that kind of speciality of getting everyone's aggros.
It's truly like a certain shameless veteran, but which one? From the chatroom, the most trustworthy place to gather professional players' gossips, Ye Xiu played Lord Grim... But Zhang Jiale is almost convinced that Autumn Tree was him.
Now, there are two Lord Grims?
"There he is!" A shout resounded.
"Don't let him get away!"
In a blink, somehow four characters tresspassed the tight guards and directly lurched themselves toward Zhang Jiale. Zhang Jiale rapidly dodged Dragon Breaks the Rank and fast to retreat, but to lines of rapid gunfire are chasing him relentlessly.
Zhang Jiale sweated a little as he kept dodging and threw some grenades towards the Battlemage and Aerial Firing away to distance himself.
"Shameless! You dare to run?! Do you not believe this coach will beat you to death?! Come forward!" Second Ye furiously roared as Sad Autumn Night flared his Chasers and pursued Dazzling Spring.
'How could dodging and running away be shameless?! It's you who are! You're literally ganging up on me okay?!' Zhang Jiale is speechless over the righteous scolding he just got. He made a simple arc and totally avoided the Blademaster whom he caught sneaking on his back.
"How dare you?! Now I have to get scolded too! Stay still you!" Little Ye also bellowed righteously.
"Little boy, spare big brother from your tragic backstory, alright?" Zhang Jiale snapped and shot the Blademaster who nimbly dodged.
"Hey! Are you bullying a kid? How shameful! Bullying a noob is fine but bullying a kid is no no. You've gotten so shameless already?!" Fourth Ye yelled in disbelief.
"Do you have mirror at home?!" Zhang Jiale raged when he thought that the player behind Lord Grim, the shameless extraordinaire, Ye Qiu, is scolding him for being shameless.
"I have two," cheeky voice resounded in Zhang Jiale's ear very closely.
"Fuck!" Zhang Jiale cursed out as Dazzling Spring's vision shook furiously before romantically kissing the ground, he quickly recovered but another nauseating-coloured avatar had approached him once more and do a low slash with his strange –looking Sword, that suddenly turned into a spear next.
"Little Lord Grim, catch it!" Ye Xiu playfully sent the dumbstruck Dazzling Spring on his way.
"Shameful, I don't want your trash!" Fourth Ye disdained and used Delivery Gun to direct it at Second Ye who happily received the Spitfire with his brimming Chasers.
Zhang Jiale started to get dizzy, not because the shaking screen, no he already used to that, he was a pro player after all! But because he recognized those voices, and those voices are terribly alike.
"Stop playing around, kids. Didn't I tell you already to finish your dinner unconditionally? Who cares if it's only secondary trash? Finish it all the same!" Second Ye stepped up and cleanly stabbed through Dazzling Spring's back of head, instanly doubling up the damage.
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim also immadiately changed his umbrella and rapidly shot at Dazzling Spring who was even more looking like it's accepting death.
Zhang Jiale doesn't even register that he's dying. Just those three eerily similiar voices that came out from three different avatars, other people might not notice it without a closer inspection but...
What the heck happened?
Lord Grim is Ye Qiu is right?
How could there be two Lord Grims?
Which insanely talented and bored person that could master every classes like Ye Qiu?
Which one is Ye Qiu?
The first or the second one...? Fuck, which is the first and which is the second again?!
And who the fuck this Battlemage then?!
This Battlemage just simply relieving the bad memories! If this Battlemage is not Ye Qiu, Zhang Jiale... Zhang Jiale won't even be surprised to hear from Aunty Sun that Sun Zheping is starting to clean his room everyday!
Which is impossible!
And those trashtalks, short, precise, sharp and hit the center really beautifully!
What two mirrors?! What Secondary?! Do they really need to highlight the two and the flipping second?!
Is it hack? Cheat? Ye Qiu?!
No, it's definitely Ye Qiu, but what's the secondary explanation?!
No... the secondary and tersier explanation is also usually consisted 'Ye Qiu' if the the primary was 'Ye Qiu' too...
What's the fourth explanation, then?!
Ye Qiu using three different microphones just to mess with Zhang Jiale? That's just ridiculous.
Zhang Jiale could only stare as his Dazzling Spring's ghost raised to the air, blankly watched as the four-men team efficiently cripled every enemy's troops and snatched the BOSS for themselves.
Feeling sureal, Zhang Jiale simply pulled out his card and decide to sleep even though it was still eight p.m.
Even if he goes to the QQ he'll just either be ignored or disclose his alt to other annoying, bored, busybodies...
You have 50+ new messages in "Chaos Theory" Chatroom.
Sad Autumn Night: Lord Grim I We need more food! Why don't you come back home after stopping by the nearby fast food restaurant?!
Lord Grim I: I don't even have money...
Sad Autumn Night: Can't you ask from Lady Boss? Just tell her you need to buy food and you'll pay her tomorrow.
Lord Grim I: How lazy are you guys?
Sad Autumn Night: 11/10
Lord Grim II: 11/10
Cloudy Autumn Sky: 11/10
Smol Kitten: 11/10
Smol Kitten: Wait a minute! Who changed my nickname!?
Smol Kitten: Change it baackk!
Smol Kitten: I tolerate no such degrading name!
Lord Grim I: Alright, I'm out. I'm not the admin Little Ye, just saying. Bye!
Sad Autumn Night: Hold up there Third Son! Note it down, three double cheese burgers, one kiddie meals, breadsticks, french fries, the drink could be milkshakes, you could buy some too.
Smol Kitten: I don't want kiddie meals!
Sad Autumn Night: It's for Fifth Ye.
Cloudy Autumn Sky: No! I want fried chicken!
Lord Grim I: So two cheese burgers and one fried chicken in additional kiddie meals?
Sad Autumn Night: Double cheese burgers. Pay attention!
Lord Grim I: Yeah, yeah, why are you so fussy? You're already like a mother-in-law.
Sad Autumn Night: Don't be ridiculous, Even if I have one, I won't marry off my daughter to a guy like you.
Lord Grim II: Ow! Off with Third Ye's head!
Lord Grim I: ...
Cloudy Autumn Sky: You guys do realize we're one person right?
Big Father: As long as you guys are happy.
Big Father: ... I see what you did there Dancing Rain
Dancing Rain: My, you guys are so lively ^_^
Sad Autumn Night: Do you want some too? Don't worry, the one who go is Third Ye, and the money is Ye Qiu's
Dancing Rain: No, sadly. I'm on diet, last week YunYun wanted to try so many pastries and can't finished them, so I stepped up... [Sigh]
Ye Qiu: You guys are so accepting to spend my money, why not come home all together?
Lord Grim I: Who's the admin? Kick this one out, he's unauthorized to be here.
Ye Qiu: I dare you! Kick me and I'll block your credit card!
Lord Grim II: Why do I feel like a bad rich douchebag with that threat?
Big Father: Now, now kids. Let's not bicker anymore, maintain the peace okay? If you want to bully someone, do it together in the most harmonious way as possible.
Sad Autumn Night: We'll bully Ye Qiu after we eat. Third Ye, quick!
Ye Xiu sighed long-sufferingly as he stopped by the fast food restaurant's counter. He rummaged through his pocket to fish out the measly amount that Chen Guo had tearfully given him, insisting to not pay her back (He still would though).
He looked up to the menu displayed wide over the counter and mentally counted if his money even enough to buy the ordered meals and got himself one too, in the end he decided to just buy a chicken wing and ordered it out.
He waited for his order, leaning languidly on then counter. The night is young, it's dark outside and the wheather is not so cold, 'Perfect to play Glory' Ye Xiu generously noted as he blissfully listened to the calm humming sounds outside.
"Excuse me, can I get a cheeseburger? I'm taking it home, thanks," Another customer stepped up beside Ye Xiu and ordered. Ye Xiu ignored them, minding his own bussiness until a staff came out to hand him his order.
"Here it is, esteemed customer! Two double cheese burgers, two fried chicken wings and one kiddie meals! Thank you for your patronage!" A bubbly girl cheerfully presented Ye Xiu's orders.
Ye Xiu smiled at her, impressed for her obvious excitement for her job, "Thank you, here's the money, just keep the change for you."
"Thank you so much!" The girl smiled happily at Ye Xiu with sparkling eyes.
Sun Xiang turned his head sideways to look at the guy subconsciously, "Very generous of you," Sun Xiang blurted out i admiration and was about to say something when his breath freeze. That lazy golden eyes, shorter height, messy black hair, no doubt he was...
"It's not much," Ye Xiu shrugged as he flicked a glance towards the guy beside him and his breath also paused. That blonde hair, piercings, gleaming cool glasses, ridiculous boa jacket...
"Ye Qiu?" Sun Xiang controlled his voice and exclaimed in whisper, on the other hand, Ye Xiu paled.
"Creep!" The older guy exclaimed and Sun Xiang hurried to slap his mouth shut.
"What do you mean? You think I'm not qualified as the lead? Lord Grim the first is offline you see, he has a duty to feed stranded children," Second Ye chuckled towards Loulan Slash who shivered incesantly.
"N-no, it's just, wasn't it better to wait for the... err first Lord Grim?" Loulan Slash carefully eyed the 'second' Lord Grim, who was just simply there since the start.
"Nonsense, you hurt Little Lord Grim's feeling, see? He's crying now, not wanting to talk," Second Ye sighed whilst Fourth Ye looked at him pointedly in real life.
"Speaking of that, Third Ye sure takes his time," Fifth Ye complained.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiu was dragged out and pulled into a secluded corner by the so called creep, was moaning about his fate. This man must be the creep Fifth and Little Ye encountered, there's no doubt. The desctiption is just too spot on! What did this guy want? How did he know his fake identity? His stalker?
"I'll give you this a week-worth of salary meals, just let me go, ai, didn't you also ordered? Just go back and wait patiently, that restaurant is fast in preparing a take-out,ah," Ye Xiu said as he feigned calm and persuasive character.
"What's wrong with you?!" Sun Xiang hissed to the retired veteran angrily. "Even if you hate me so much, no need to immadiately accuss me for being a creep in the public!"
Ye Xiu carefully observed the guy, "Then... Who are you?" Do I know you?
Sun Xiang's eyes twitched, "It's me!" Sun Xiang impatiently pulled down his mask to reveal his face and immadiately struck Ye Xiu speechless.
"Xiang-ge?" What?! The blonde creep is actually Sun Xiang?! Ye Xiu immadiately wanted to laugh. His younger selves actually accussed One Autumn Leaf's new owner as a creep! Though, with that get-up he really looked like a creep.
"Of course it's me!" Sun Xiang said in annoyance and pulled up his mask again. "What are you doing here?"
Ye Xiu blankly stared, "Well, you see, the only plausible explanation for a guy in a fastfood restaurant is the guy wanted to buy some food. There's no way to play Glory as there's no computer for gaming, you go to Internet Cafe for Glory."
A tick appeared on Sun Xiang's temple but he quickly supressed his temper back in the line, he leaned back and sighed harshly before looking back on Ye Xiu, "Have we ever met?" He asked somewhat uncertainly and awkwardly.
"..." Ye Xiu looked at Sun Xiang as if he's a lunatic. Did this guy suddenly suffered an amnesia? "Of course, we met plenty of times already, are you suddenly suffering an amnesia? Is there any camera around?"
"No! I mean, have you ever bumped into me and... you know what? Forget it, forget we ever met at all tonight," Sun Xiang pulled back his question and waved Ye Xiu off, realizing his question is a tad bit crazy. That one boy was certainly much younger, there's no way he's Ye Qiu, it's impossible to be deaged, what is this? Fantasy themed light novel?
Ye Xiu nodded solemnly, silently noting that 'forget we ever met at all tonight' is usually a cliche line, every villainous second male lead would say when he got rejected by the female leads in Su Mucheng's dramas.
"Where's Third Ye? We already-"
*Bam!* "Sun Xiang is the creep!" Ye Xiu declared as soon as he entered the house. Everyone looked at him strangely.
"Who's Sun Xiang?" Little Ye asked.
"Wasn't he the new owner of One Autumn Leaf?" Fourth Ye tilted his head.
"Creep?" Second Ye parroted in disbelief.
"Yeah," Ye Xiu putted down the food on the nearby coffee table and continued, "The suspicious person that Little Ye and Fifth Ye encountered some times ago was actually Sun Xiang dressed in his outdoor disguise."
"Oh," Second Ye turned back into his computer and opened a note to type down something. "Guys, I'm changing Sun Xiang's cathegory from 'Possible Tsundere and arrogant little brat' to 'Possible Creep, keep a distance at cost'," Second Ye informed.
"Hey, it's fine. He probably thought that Fifth Ye was me, or at least I think so, he seemed to be wanting to ask that question earlier," Ye Xiu assured.
"That's even more worrying, he'll grab 'Ye Qiu's' hand , pull him close and hisses on our faces?" Second Ye shook his head. "This era's Sun Xiang is worrying me, we should probably beat him up fast to get the tsundere kid from my era back."
"I like that idea," Fourth Ye chirped up as he rummaged through the food to get his cheeseburger, "The beat him up part, that is."
"He scared me back then, he shouldn't use such a suspicious attire outside," Little Ye complained. "He was like a creep!"
"Enough, Little Ye, come on, your kiddie meals is here." Fifth Ye gestured.
Sad Autumn Night: As we instigated and found out, the creep that almost harass Fifth Ye is actually Sun Xiang, he probably didn't mean it, so no more worry Big Ye.
Ye Qiu: Harass WHAT?! WHO IS THIS SUN XIANG?!
Sad Autumn Night: Oops, wrong chat. Meant to DM Big Ye, don't mind me.
Ye Qiu: Hold on there! Tell me who is this Sun Xiang?! Are you sure you're not in immadiate danger?!
Ye Qiu: Answer me, dammit! How could you know that he didn't mean it?!
Dancing Rain: I also need a complete story ^_^ you see, Sun Xiang's room is just down the hall, I don't mind to have a talk with him if it's serious.
Lord Grim I: Don't kill him, please.
Lord Grim: Come!
Ye Xiu's declaration instantly gained a wave of incredulous and shocked reactions, after they expressed their shocks of how Ye Qiu finally noticed Huang Shoatian, they all cheered! Good job Huang Shaotian!
Windy Rain: Aiya, go go! What are you waiting for, Huang Shao?!
Life Extinguisher: That's true, you were busy challenging, now the challenge has been accepted, where do you go?
Tian Shen: Do it! DO it!
Troubling Rain: Shut up you plebs! Where? Where?! Where?! Should I made my own room?! Come at me! I'm not afraid, let me test your might in Unspecialized!
*ding!*
[Your Friend Troubling Rain has gone Online]
[Your Friend Swoksaar has gone Online]
The Blue Brook Guild's upper level experts immadiately created an uproar, what is this?! Their two gods went online? How rare! Is this world gonna be flipped outside down in the next hour?! They immadiately sent out their respectful greetings to their gods who were lamenting about forgetting the Invinciblity on, before ignoring all pretense and immadiately DM-ed Lord Grim for the PK room.
The world chat also exploded with fervent information about other gods and pro players sighted in different places, everyone immadiately left speechless.
Why are the gods descended to the mortal world now? What's happening? Does Glory launched a secret event that only the pros know or something?
"Where?! Where are you ready?!" Huang Shaotian sent a voice message to Lord Grim which he immadiately answered in QQ as there are just too many who asked.
Lord Grim: Fixed Field 4. Room 2164. The password and the room number are the same.
Ye Xiu and Second Ye was just instructing Loulan Slash and his friends when suddenly a character entered... followed by another barrage of characters
"What-...!" Loulan Slash immadiately rendered speechless as he saw many recognizable avatars flooded into his Fixed Field room.
"Ah, they came," Second Ye blandly said, "Children, stay back in the line, no one want you got more stalkers trying to entice them to their own team," Second Ye turned towards his three youngest brothers who were currently playing around in the Fixed Field.
"Okay!" One-Inch Love obediently ran back.
"Ugh, can I retreat back to Tenth server?" Cloudy Autumn Sky meekly moved behind One-Inch Love.
"Yeah, you two go back. Fourth, stay."
"If you know we'll get these people, why asked me to be the Berserker?!" Fourth Ye indignantly demanded.
Second Ye took off his earphone, "You see, Big Ye and I had talked about this and decided to let the second Lord Grim as a thing very known to the mass, but treated as another alt by Pro players. Besides, that Zhang Jiale could only briefly assess us, he also won't be too suspicious if the second Lord Grim is gone."
"This is so vexing, what about levelling up then?"
"We'll do a roll between you and Third Ye, just watched the fight after this to learn more, you need to smoothen down your Unspecialized Style like Third Ye." Second Ye said, ignoring the clamour inside the game as he continued to explain things to the focused Fourth Ye.
[Whisper] Lord Grim: STOP FOURTH YE! SECOND YE, STOP HIM!
A whisper message quickly distracted Second Ye, what? Stop Fourth Ye? What did he do- oh shit.
"Fourth, why are you in the platform?!" Second Ye bellowed to the third youngest who secretely sneaked into the battle platform when Second Ye is preaching.
"Hehe, wasn't he Huang Shaotian who almost caught me red-handed in All-Star? I almost got an heart attack back then, let me repaid the favor," Fourth Ye slowly chuckled with innocent lazy smile.
In the game, Huang Shaotian sheethed, "Why is it Berserker again?! Are you really gonna make me fight the bench players too?!" he roared.
The Berserker, Prideful War, swung his Tachi and stood impassively before Troubling Rain, "(Bench players are also respectable, you know?)" A speechbubble appeared and floated above Prideful War's head.
"Yeah, yeah! Whatever! Let's do this!" Huang Shaotian said impatiently as he agreed to the challenge.
The match started and Second Ye as well Ye Xiu could only watch with a hand over their face.
Prideful War moved first, like a good Berserker, he decided to take the initiative. Troubling Rain, not wanting to lose out, also quickly launched to his barrage of words.
"Slash! Retreat! Lunge! Triple slash! Watch my sword! Watch my sword! Slash! Slash! Lower slash! Triple..." He kept going on and on but the Berserker before him impassively kept advancing, catching up with Troubling Rain's super fast rhyme.
Troubling Rain suddenly released Headwind Strike! Troubling Rain advanced forward and controlled his sword arc perfectly to attack his target.
Clang!
Everyone stopped their chats altogether as the Headwind Strike is cancelled. Prideful War had used Collapsing Mountain with addition of Super Armor status.
"What? Since when you used Enrage?" Huang Shaotian exclaimed in shock, Headwind Strike could only advance not retreat, if his sword arc is failed to knock the other side back, then it's useless. Huang Shaotian cancelled his skill and rapidly jumped back to avoid Collapsing Mountain area attack.
When Fourth Ye saw that Troubling Rain easily retreated out of his area attack, he also cancelled his skill and rapidly advanced forward.
The chatroom in the QQ burst out in praise and trashtalkings.
Brilliant Edge: Oooh Seems like Huang Shao is in a pinch!
Bullet Rain: The earlier matches are short lived, now he finally find the long lived one, if it's me I'd rather give up.
Angelica: You'd rather give up in almost everything.
Flying Sword: This Berserker is not bad, ah! How could be become the Bench player?
Life Extinguisher: His aggressive playstyle is also controlled although wild. Hm? It seemed like Senior Sun's playstyle that got reconstructed.
Sobbing Ghost: True, true. But obviously, Senior Sun is much crazier and more aggressive.
LeLe: Hehe, you're not afraid that I'm gonna tell Big Sun on you?
LeLe: Who?! Who amongst you that changed my ID, Admins!
Windy Rain: Ignoring Senior LeLe, that Whirlwind Strike is beautiful!
Brilliant Edge: Agree! Agree! But Huang Shao's use of Rising Dragon is also brilliant!
Empty Waves: Shadow Steps!
Doubtful Demon: Tsk, tsk, Huang Shao is too shameless!
Life Extinguisher: I think it's actually suited. This guy is pretty good, what do you think, as an outsider, Immovable Rock?
Desert Dust: He's sleeping.
Life Extinguisher: Ah. I forgot the time, I'm sorry.
Tide: He tried to use Crimson Storm?!
One Autumn Leaf: What the F-ck!?
Windy Rain: Oh My GOD!
Scene Killer: Fuck! A feint!?
LeLe: Big Sun definitely won't do that! He's too stupid to! That move is too tactical! Let's cross out Big Sun's name from the list of suspect.
Demon Subduer: *Screenshot*
Doubtful Demon: *Screenshot*
Scene Killer: *Screenshot*
Boundless Sea: *Screenshot*
LeLe: You guys... would it kill you to not be mean to me for just a few days? I'm already retired! Show some respect!
Doubtful Demon: Senior Sun had retired a long time ago before you, between you and him, Of course Senior Sun deserve more attentive respect!
LeLe: Fang Rui, you...
Vaccaria: Hm, this Prideful War's awareness is good.
Desert Dust: His perception is also very good.
Swoksaar: The Question is, was he really a bench player?
The match ended with victory in Huang Shaotian's hands, his health is about 45%. "You played good my man! Strike forward and you'll be out of that bench zone!" Huang Shaotian stated cheerfully. This one also need a watch, if he's really bench player, it won't be hard for a pro team to snatch him off.
Fourth Ye's expression is helpless as he took off his earphone and rubbed his ears attentively, "He talked nonstop, ugh. My ears..." Fourth Ye lamented. Although he's a professional in all class, in the end, Berserker is not his main class, added with this being the first time he went up against Huang Shoatian without knowing the consequences, he truly underestimated Huang Shaotian's annoyingness, with or without the speechbubbles.
"Are you happy now?" Second Ye asked saltily and looked at Fourth Ye in disdain.
"I can't beat him but at least, I gave him a fright," Fourth Ye smiled.
Second Ye also smiled, very bright and yet cold, a very definition of the sun in winter, "Is that so? Very good."
"You're dead," Fifth Ye whispered gloatingly from Fourth Ye's side.
"Do I need to put on my Anti-Violence eye-covers?" Little Ye asked blandly.
"No need to," Second Ye walked up to a nearby drawer and pulled out a certain card, "I originally wanted to wait for Old Wei to appear first, but... For your punishment, use this," Second Ye tossed the card onto Fourth Ye's desk.
"... What?" Fourth Ye picked up the card and inspect it. "What do I use it for?"
"To play of course," Second Ye disdained.
"Any specific demand?" Fourth Ye carefully said.
"Use that to infiltirate Tyrannical Ambition in search for our destined Cleric," Second Ye ordered. "You better entice him first and slowly make him interested, and train him."
"... Till when?" Fourth Ye gulped.
"Till we find and beat up Old Wei and his lackeys," Second Ye smiled. "In short, till I told you so."
"..."
Spread the chaos.
After the chaotic mess of party in the legendary Fixed Field 4 Room 2164 and how the pro players were getting scolded for it (Except Han Wenqing, Tyranny's boss scolded Ye Qiu instead for being so sly inviting them all. Of course, Han Wenqing is not at fault, he did it for the team after all. Absolutely not at fault!), Things had gotten more and more calm nowadays.
With the exception of Fourth Ye who is struggling trying to help Tyrannical Ambition through their unfinished dungeon and locating an Avatar named Little Cold Hands.
" Actually, I'm Ye Qiu!" Second Ye declared out loud and the guilds inside the game froze again. They're currently on a mission to make as much as a mess as possible and scrap-picking anything in the category of "Not trash".
It's fine for Second Ye to declare that, after all he was Ye Qiu and is playing a Battlemage, which is very convincing, it's just he declared it after Ye Xiu did. That made the guilds in a massive dillema. Who's to trust?
But do Second Ye and Ye Xiu care? No.
Second Ye successfully joined Excellent Dynasty's party and happily took their protection for granted as he rapidly took every fallen equips and weapons whilst Ye Xiu is dealing with Dreamland.
"FUCK!"
That shout made Second Ye smiled softly as he controlled Sad Autumn Night to look at the direction.
"It's Deception!"
In Sad Autumn Night's vision, a black shadow flashed by, merging with the crowd and nimbly dodging.
Second Ye smiled, "Found you."
Bonus
Ye Qiu bited his nail as he glared at the chatroom and no one answered him. Who is this Sun Xiang? He harassed his Fifth younger-Elder Brother?!
No, no, no, he can't let this pass. His brother is in trouble! His innocence! His virtue!
"NianNian! NianNian! Get inside!" Ye Qiu called out and a female butler came in with a towel on her hand and a phone in the other.
"Yes, second young master?" She answered boredly.
"Find an information about any 'Sun Xiang'around my brother lately!"
"If you're asking about Sun Xiang, the one who replaced first young master and owned One Autumn Leaf, I don't need to search for it." The girl blinked.
"What?! Replace? He's the one who took my brother's useless career away?" Ye Qiu asked.
"You can say it like that."
"Does he have any suspicious relationship with my brother? A crush? Stalker?" Ye Qiu asked solemnly.
"Hmm, that's a bit debatable, he's very popular, many girls were digitally pregnant because of him," The female butler said seriously.
"Digitally pregnant?" Ye Qiu immadiately showed a loss expression.
"Meaning, many females claimed they're pregnant because of him online, when in reality they're not."
"Are you sure there's no suspicious thing from him to my brother?"
"If you want, I can search for it," The girl looked into her phone and search "Sun Xiang x Ye Qiu", what appeared is almost a thousand fiction. Her face turned solemn, how could she never find this ship? Ah, she was too focused on HanYe.
"How's it?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Hmm, I take it back. The probablity of first young master and him in a relationship is pretty high, according to my research," The girl nodded her head grimly.
"Damn!" Ye Qiu cursed. "Launch the Second and Third teams, make sure to do a thorough back ground check on this Sun Xiang."
"As you wish, young master," The girl bowed down and left, silently pondering if DoubleLeaf is also a possible ship with this younger brother's over-protectiveness.
For the next week, Sun Xiang always felt that he's followed and watched by the things around him, he said this to the others but they all said he was imagining thing.
It might be an imagination...
In the middle of finishing this, my mom came back, bringing my old broken pad- now completely recovered and can be used again.
And I was like,
"But Mom! I already cheated on him with the new laptop!" It's hard, but I think I now know the feeling of real romance drama... slightly.
Oh yeah, about HST and Fourth's fight action, I skimmed over it. I'm just suck at it.
