The King's Return

When Qin Mo and Xiao Han walked off the stage together, they were stopped by the official reporter. The reporter stepped forward and said excitedly, "Congratulations to Hanshen for winning the individual event. Do you have anything to say to the fans?"

Xiao Han took the microphone and said simply: "Thank you for your support."

This sentence is almost a line that he will say in every interview, and it is almost watertight.

The reporter went on to say, "Today's game went all the way to overtime. It was very intense and exciting. How do you evaluate Qin Mo's performance?"

It was only then that Xiao Han was willing to say a few more words: "In the few games I played against Qin Mo today, it was very enjoyable to play against each other. Qin Mo is a very careful person, and his ability in tactical layout is also very good. Although I rely on my hands at the last moment I beat him with a quick burst, but in my heart Qin Mo did not lose, his level is no worse than mine, and he has always been the most respected opponent in my heart."

The reporter never expected that Xiao Han, who usually likes to pretend to be cool in front of the camera, would praise Qin Mo so much.

Qin Mo couldn't help but smile when he heard this praise.

Seeing Qin Mo's rare smile, the reporter couldn't help but ask, "Is it because Hanshen praised Team Qin so much because he was by the side?"

Xiao Han immediately shook his head: "Of course not, I really want to praise him."

Qin Mo said: "Thank you, I accept it."

The reporter handed the microphone to Qin Mo again: "Moshen, do you feel sorry for losing to Xiao Han in the final?"

Qin Mo said calmly: "There is no need for regrets. It is enough that I can play to my own level. This game is just to fulfill the promise of the year. Winning or losing is not important."

Xiao Han echoed: "That's right, the more important thing is to be able to fight Xiaomo again in the arena."

The reporter asked: "Is there anything you two want to say to each other?"

Xiao Han looked back at Qin Mo with gentle eyes: "I'm very glad that we are teammates now, not opponents."

Qin Mo said, "Me too."

The two looked at each other and smiled at each other. This scene was extremely harmonious and harmonious. Obviously, they didn't care about the outcome of the game.

The reporter asked curiously: "Will the two of you form a team to participate in the next two-person event? Or will you bring a teammate to participate?"

Xiao Han said calmly: "Of course it's a team competition, otherwise I'm sorry for the name Gemini."

Qin Mo nodded: "Well, we have decided to form a team to compete."

Hearing this, the fans were immediately excited, and the cheers were deafening, but the players from other teams sitting in the background were a little worried-wouldn't they be invincible if they formed a team?It seems that from today onwards, it is necessary to study the strategy of Gemini, the boss.

***

After the final, there will be another match for No.3, Nie Yuzhu VS Chen Jiang.

Originally thought that Qin Mo and Xiao Han played so wonderfully, this third place battle must be meaningless, but to the surprise of the audience, the two captains Nie and Chen also showed many highlights in this game, Chen Jiang Nie Yuzhu's hand speed was faster than Nie Yuzhu's, but Nie Yuzhu's tactical awareness was stronger than Chen Jiang's. In the end, the veteran Nie Yuzhu narrowly won the third place in the individual competition by three seconds.

The individual award ceremony will be held immediately after the competition. The host will hold the trophy on the big stage and invite the award presenters to come on stage.

The three commentators walked onto the big stage side by side. Ye Chao handed over the third runner-up trophy to Nie Yuzhu, and shook hands to express his congratulations.

Next, Ling Xuefeng will present the award to his apprentice Qin Mo in person, and the master and apprentice looked at each other with deep emotion.

Qin Mo was only 15 years old when Ling Xuefeng took Qin Mo on the stage of the competition for the first time. The immature boy who had not passed the voice change period had the apprehension and arrogance of entering the e-sports circle for the first time, and also had the conceit and arrogance of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. At that time, Qin Mo always followed Ling Xuefeng very obediently, and he never dared to go west when his master asked him to go east. Whenever Ling Xuefeng turned cold, he turned pale with fright, and wrote a pile of self-criticism.

Unexpectedly, the current him, as the captain of Mo Jue, stood on the big stage to accept the trophy presented by the master.

Ling Xuefeng handed the trophy to Qin Mo, and said in a low voice, "Qin Mo, accepting you as an apprentice was the most correct decision of Master back then."

Qin Mo's eyes suddenly turned red, and a simple sentence represented Ling Xuefeng's recognition and affirmation of him.

——He never regrets accepting him as an apprentice, and what he is most grateful for is to worship him as a teacher.

At the beginning, Qin Mo left Fengse without telling his master, which made Ling Xuefeng angry and heartbroken, but in the end, Ling Xuefeng forgave him because of his love for Qin Mo.

Qin Mo took the trophy with trembling hands, met Master's gaze, and said gratefully, "I will not let Master down."

Ling Xuefeng patted his apprentice on the shoulder lightly, and said, "I look forward to your higher achievements, come on."

Qin Mo nodded vigorously: "Yes."

The painting styles of Li Cangyu and Xiao Han's master and apprentice are completely different. The two hugged each other. Li Cangyu smiled and handed the trophy to Xiao Han, saying: "As expected of the apprentice I brought out."

Xiao Han said: "That's right, Master Tiger has no dogs."

Li Cangyu looked disgusted: "Qin Mo has taught you for so long, have you not corrected your bad habit of using words indiscriminately?"

Xiao Han immediately changed his words: "Famous teachers give birth to outstanding apprentices, this time is right?"

Li Cangyu smiled: "That's about the same."

After the award presenters turned and walked off the stage, Xiao Han, Qin Mo and Nie Yuzhu held up the trophy together and stood on the stage for a group photo. The applause couldn't subside for a long time.

The Dubu Alliance specially invited Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng to present the awards this time. In addition to allowing the two masters to witness the duel between Xiao Han and Qin Mo, there is also a special meaning of "inheritance". The era of Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu has passed Three years later, the apprentices of the two great gods have joined forces to create Team Mo Jue, which is the beginning of a new era of e-sports.

Offstage, in the VIP auditorium, Qin Ye saw this scene and said calmly, "Although Xiaomo only won the runner-up, his tactical awareness in the final today is no worse than yours back then, right?"

The young man next to him smiled and said, "That's natural, the younger generation is awesome. Besides, how could Ye Shen's nephew be worse than me?"

Qin Ye turned his head and said, "How do you know about my relationship with Qin Mo?"

The man still put on a gentle and friendly smiling face: "Both of you are surnamed Qin, and your appearance is three points similar. Both of your ancestral homes are in Xi'an. If you are interested, you can always find out the truth. You are old, and Qin Mo's father is you. Brother-in-law, although you are only a few years older than Qin Mo, according to your seniority, you are Qin Mo's uncle."

Qin Mo frowned: "Oh? What else do you know?"

The man was still smiling: "I also know that Qin Mo retired because he was injured in a car accident, and his father helped him hide all this."

Qin Ye frowned and said, "Ye Chenxi, you are still the same as before, your stomach is full of blackness!"

Ye Chenxi said: "Thank you God Ye for your compliment."

Qin Ye said coldly, "You have investigated all these matters clearly. On the side of the Dubu Alliance, do you mean to intervene to the end?"

Ye Chenxi shook his head: "That's not true. I'm just curious to learn about the inside story. The war between the apprentices, when the master intervenes too much, it degrades my self-worth. I will leave Beijing tomorrow, and I just drop by to watch the history Sexual duel."

Qin Ye snorted, "Su Cheng is your direct disciple, does Lan Weiran know about this?"

Ye Chenxi smiled helplessly: "He knows about Su Cheng's existence, but my master is so lazy that he doesn't want to ask about the affairs of his disciples and grandchildren."

Qin Ye asked, "You took Su Cheng as your apprentice because he was interested in his excellent tactical awareness?"

Ye Chenxi said: "No, what I like is his talent in music."

Qin Ye: "..."

You are too wonderful!No wonder Su Cheng was accepted as an apprentice. It turned out that they were like-minded, and they both liked literary and artistic things such as lyrics and music.

Qin Ye changed the subject and said, "Xiaomo's tactical awareness today will definitely attract the attention of other experts, such as your apprentice Su Cheng, and people like Nie Yuzhu and Chu Jianxin. Their tactical awareness is not bad. Looking back, they should I will study Qin Mo and Xiao Han's playing style specifically. As a sample to be studied by the opponent, the game after Gemini will be more difficult to play."

Ye Chenxi smiled and asked, "What? Ye Shen wants to help guide?"

Qin Ye shook his head: "Qin Mo doesn't need my advice, he can handle it by himself, what do you think?"

Ye Chenxi agreed: "I think so too."

The two happened to meet in the VIP auditorium, and they seemed to chat casually for a few rounds, but both sides knew the core content well-don't intervene in the competition of the juniors in the future.

This is their consensus.

***

The awards ceremony for the individual competition is not grand, it is only over after the trophies are distributed on the big stage, and the final year-end inventory, the league will hold a real awards ceremony.

The championship and runner-up in the individual competition this time are just the beginning of Qin Mo and Xiao Han's battle in the Dubu League.

After the award ceremony, the team points for the first project began to be calculated on the big screen at the scene——

In the individual competition stage, as long as you reach the top 32, you can get 1 point for the team, 3 points for the top 5, 8 points for the top eight, 10 points for the top four, and [-] points for the champion. Only the highest personal score is used for calculation.

Because Liu Hong and Shen He both made it to the top 24, Qin Mo won the runner-up and Xiao Han won the championship. The final total points were [-] points.

Dynasty team Lin Yao entered the quarterfinals, captain Chu Jianxin and deputy team Sang Jun advanced to the quarterfinals, and another player, Wen Hua, advanced to the quarterfinals with a total of 32 points.

Lihuo's captain, Nie Yuzhu, made it to the semi-finals, and the vice-team, Jingyang, entered the semi-finals. Including Zhou Yanbing's 1 point, the total points are also 12 points.

Team Yunxiao, Team Frost Moon, Team Guose, and Team Yulou Chunxiao all scored 7 points in total.

Jiange team and Qingyu team both scored 3 points. Among them, Jiange failed to enter the top [-] and scored more points because captain Lin Shuangcheng lay down in the hospital at a critical moment; Umbrella players are not good at singles, they are stronger in umbrella team battles.

The Jinghong team was at the bottom with 2 points, and both players were eliminated after reaching the group stage.

Judging from this leaderboard, there is not much difference in points among other teams, and Mo Jue is the champion.

However, points will be deducted for losing one round in a team battle in the later stage. These gaps are only a matter of one or two team battles. Besides, there will be more matches in the later stage to look at coordination. The results of individual competitions are not enough to affect the team ranking at the end of the year.

The moment the scoreboard was released, Mo Jue, who was at the top of the list, immediately became the big boss in everyone's eyes.

Since Xiao Han and Qin Mo reached the finals hand in hand, they doubled the points and beat other teams in seconds.But in the next two-person competition, if Xiao Han and Qin Mo form a team to participate, they can only score one point. The strength of the other players in Mo Jue has not yet reached the level of sweeping the league. How to target them is the captains. points to consider.

***

After returning to the hotel room at night, Qin Mo placed the silver trophy on the table, and Xiao Han also placed the champion's gold trophy beside him, and put the two trophies together.

Qin Mo understood what he meant by "advance and retreat together", and couldn't help but feel warm, and said to Xiao Han: "I don't mind losing to you, you don't need to praise me so much in front of reporters."

Xiao Han came over and hugged him gently, with a gentle tone: "But I don't mind, I don't want to hear any voices questioning you."

Qin Mo wanted to speak, but Xiao Han blocked his lips.

The kiss came so suddenly, Qin Mo's heart skipped a beat, his cheeks became slightly hot, he stretched out his hand to gently hug Xiao Han's shoulder, and let him kiss deeper.

Qin Mo actually understood why Xiao Han kissed him.

Today, they faced each other tit-for-tat on the field, racked their brains to calculate each other, and tried their best to win each other. At that moment, they had ignored their personal feelings and only regarded each other as the most important opponent in their lives.During the competition, while seeing each other's moves, one could also feel the two people's understanding of each other and their tacit understanding that no one can match.

They had fought many times before, and each had their winners and losers. At that time, Qin Mo only thought about defeating Xiao Han, and Xiao Han only thought about surpassing Qin Mo, but they never had such complicated feelings like today.

There is the excitement of "meeting the opponent".

But there is also the emotion of "this person is the one I love".

After the game, what Xiao Han said to the reporter was indeed what Qin Mo thought in his heart—fortunately, we are not opponents, but teammates.

At this moment, there is finally no outside interference, and they can finally express their true inner feelings.

Xiao Han's kiss became more and more intense, and his tongue penetrated deep into Qin Mo's mouth, licking the mucous membrane passionately, leaving his own taste everywhere in his mouth.

Although Qin Mo's heartbeat accelerated and his cheeks were hot, he boldly began to respond.

Xiao Han was even more excited when he got the response, he hugged Qin Mo's waist tightly with his arms, stepped forward with his right foot, and pushed Qin Mo down on the bed.

"Um... um..."

Their lips and teeth were entangled, ambiguous voices rang in their ears, and their breathing gradually became messy.

Just as they were kissing hard, the doorbell suddenly rang.

The crisp doorbell brought Qin Mo back to his senses in an instant, and immediately pushed Xiao Han away.

Xiao Han turned around to open the door with a displeased face. He thought it was Shen He who came to make trouble, and wanted to get angry, but when he opened the door, he met Ling Xuefeng's deep gaze. Xiao Han's anger disappeared instantly, and he immediately replaced it with a Smiling face: "Cough, Lingshen... Master."

Standing behind Ling Xuefeng is of course Li Cangyu, looking at Xiao Han with a smile: "Didn't disturb you?"

It was just right to interrupt—Xiao Han complained in his heart, but on the surface he looked like an obedient apprentice: "No, no! Is there something wrong, Master?"

He blocked the door calmly, giving Qin Mo time to tidy up.

Qin Mo in the room heard the conversation, and hurriedly arranged his clothes, and by the way, also made the messy bed.

Li Cangyu was puzzled: "Why are you blocking the door? Don't you invite Master to sit in?"

Xiao Han coughed: "Cough, Master, please come in."

Qin Mo's movements were very swift. During the short time that Xiao Han was covering, he had already tidied up the bed and clothes, but the blush that remained on his face revealed some secrets.

Ling Xuefeng glanced at him, frowned slightly, and didn't say much.

"Master." Qin Mo walked forward with a calm expression, "Come in and sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water."

Li Cangyu turned around and sat down on the sofa, Ling Xuefeng sat across from him.

Qin Mo poured two glasses of water and asked, "Is Master looking for us?"

"Come over here to see you two." Li Cangyu drank his saliva and said, "I watched the live broadcast of the individual competitions with you participating. You performed very well throughout the competition and your progress is very obvious. Xiaomo We already have the demeanor of a general, and Xiaohan’s level has also reached its peak state, to be honest, we feel very gratified."

Xiao Han said bluntly: "Master's praise is justified, and Xiaomo and I have accepted it all."

Li Cangyu smiled, looked at Qin Mo and said, "It's really wise for Xiaomo to change his style and become a tactical player. There is still a lot to study in this game. I look forward to your performance in the future."

Qin Mo nodded: "I understand, I will continue to work hard."

Li Cangyu continued: "Actually, I came here today. Apart from looking at you, there is something else I want to tell you two."

Xiao Han was puzzled: "What's the matter? Master won't be traveling abroad again, right?"

Li Cangyu said: "No, I have been traveling around for the past few years, and I am also tired. I plan to rest for a while."

Xiao Han asked: "Then Master is going back to Changsha?"

Li Cangyu shook his head: "Go to Nanjing."

Xiao Han and Qin Mo looked at each other, and at the same time saw a puzzled look in each other's eyes.

Li Cangyu didn't have any relatives or friends in Nanjing, so how could he suddenly go to Nanjing?

Ling Xuefeng, who had been silent all this time, simply explained the doubts of the two of them: "Mr. Xu of the Guose Tianxiang Club has negotiated the acquisition agreement with me, and we will sign the contract tomorrow."

Xiao Han: "..."

Qin Mo: "..."

Seeing the shocked expressions of the two, Li Cangyu smiled and said, "Isn't this news unexpected? Actually, we didn't want to get involved with the Guose Club, but Li Junru took the initiative to find us. Xuefeng felt that the Fengse Club had sufficient funds." , and Nanjing is also close to Shanghai, the acquisition of Guose Tianxiang Club will not do him any harm, and in this way, those girls can also have a safe environment to continue playing games."

Hearing this, Qin Mo finally came to his senses: "Li Junru? She took the initiative to find you, did she expect this day?"

Li Cangyu nodded and said: "This girl is far from being as simple as she appears on the surface. Don't you think that the process of Mr. Xu's ruin is too logical?"

Recalling the whole process of Xu Lin being denounced, the timing of the whistleblower's appearance was just right, kicking Xu Lin completely into the quagmire, losing the chance to stand up...

All of this cannot be just a coincidence.

Qin Mo immediately understood: "That is to say, Li Junru has been behind the scenes to fuel the flames. She contacted Master in advance to expose the inside story at the right time and ruin Xu Lin's reputation. The ultimate goal is to let Xu Lin step down. The club can just change to a reliable owner. ?”

Ling Xuefeng said: "That's right. In the future, the two of us will be the owners of the Guose Tianxiang Club."

Qin Mo and Xiao Han looked at each other, feeling a lot of pressure immediately.

Li Cangyu saw what the two of them were thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Xuefeng and I just provide them with an environment to play in peace of mind, and we won't interfere with the management of the team."

Ling Xuefeng nodded: "Just like Liu Chuan will not meddle in the internal affairs of your Mojue team, the current captain of the Guose Tianxiang team is Li Junru, and Li Junru will arrange the future games. The reason why I told you two is to let you If you know the truth, you won’t be kept in the dark.”

Qin Mo asked: "Then Master will stay in Nanjing in the future?"

Ling Xuefeng said: "No, we will sign the contract in the past, make a good handover, and rectify the club by the way. After this busy period, we will return to Shanghai."

Although the masters' decision was a bit sudden, Xiao Han and Qin Mo could also understand that their becoming the owners of the Guose Tianxiang Club is indeed good news for the girls who are serious about playing games.It is also good news for Qin Mo and Xiao Han that the two masters do not intervene in the team's internal affairs, otherwise, they really don't know how to fight against the team under the guidance of their master.

Xu Lin had intervened too much in the past, and it was very depressing for the girls of the Guose Tianxiang Club to play games. Now that the boss has changed, they can't repeat the same mistakes. It is better to let Li Junru lead the team by himself. Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu's decision is obviously also due to Such considerations.

***

After sending the two masters away, Qin Mo sat on the edge of the bed and lowered his head to think carefully. Xiao Han wrapped his arms around his shoulders and comforted him: "Don't worry, the master just said that they won't interfere. Players play the game according to their own abilities, not relying on the guidance of the master."

Qin Mo said, "I'm not worried about that."

Xiao Han was puzzled: "Then what are you thinking?"

Qin Mo said earnestly: "I was thinking that in the finals, we changed the play style of the cheats many times, which will definitely let the masters of other teams find a way to target us. In the double match, there may be more people with control-free, Injury-free cheats are on the field, anti-my control and your ultimate move. The double match will be more difficult to fight than the single match. Lin Song's combination of long and short swords, Su Xie's piano and flute ensemble, Qiu Yuan's double summoning, etc., cooperate There are so many different kinds, it’s not easy to win an award.”

It turned out that he was still seriously thinking about the game, Xiao Han gently stroked his hair, and said: "Don't think about it, take a good rest first, and return to the team to think about these things."

Qin Mo still wanted to talk, but Xiao Han smiled and pressed him on the bed.

Qin Mo blushed slightly: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Han leaned over and said in a low voice, "Of course I'm doing what I didn't finish just now."

After the gentle kiss fell, Qin Mo had no choice but to gently close his eyes.

There are still many games to come, and it is inevitable that Gemini will be targeted. However, with Xiao Han by his side, Qin Mo has nothing to fear.

If Qin Mo is the strategist who strategizes, then Xiao Han is the sharpest weapon. The two of them cooperate, even if they face the deliberate targeting of other teams, they will have a great chance of winning.
