Immediately, Qiao Lian said with a wave of her hand, “No, it’s okay! Nianyao will come pick me up later.”

Risk him taking her?

If he found out that she was going to join the team and insisted on coming along, how was she going to find out more about the fake Zi Chuan?

Besides, she felt that the other Zi Chuan had some sort of close connection with her.

Shen Liangchuan raised an eyebrow and looked at her intently. “Ok, then.”

He then strode out of the house and drove away.

Qiao Lian sighed in relief.

Just as she did that, she heard Qiao Yi say, “Sister, how is it that you are still so bad at lying?”

Qiao Lian was stumped.

“It was obvious that brother-in-law could tell you were lying and decided not to expose you. Why did you lie to him? Where are you going? Are you secretly meeting a gigolo?!”

Qiao Lian reached out and poked Qiao Yi’s head. She berated him, “Go and study. You’re young, what do you know!”

Then she sneaked out of the house.

She called a taxi and headed straight for the Beijing Banquet.

The team captain used to be a young and rich second-generation heir. Now, years later, he had gone on to become the chairman of a small enterprise.

In his thirties, he was mature and steady. At the same time, there was a pure and innocent quality about him.

All these years, he had been the one managing the team’s gatherings, and this time he was financing it again.

It had been eight years and, even though the team members no longer played video games, among themselves, they had formed a friends.h.i.+p bond.

Upon arriving at the Beijing Banquet, she searched for the venue given in the message and went to the private room 888.

She stood outside the doorway, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

This team from her youth was made up of people she had met on the Internet.

She had never seen them in real life.

She had no idea what lay beyond the door. These people with whom she had laughed and argued on the Internet… What would they be like in real life?

As she contemplated these questions in her mind, a waitress walked towards the door, preparing to serve up the food.

Qiao Lian stepped aside to allow him to open the door and enter the private room.

There were already more than twenty people seated around the huge banquet table in the private room.

There were men and wonmen. They were all unfamiliar faces, but they were chatting happily among themselves.

Qiao Lian overheard them talking about Lot before she could step in.

“The Beijing compet.i.tion has come to an end. CQ Team has been selected to take part in the national finals. What do you think are CQ’s chances of winning?

“Need we say more about this?”

“Up till now, they’ve only gotten into the national finals! Have you forgotten that there’s the long-standing compet.i.tive team KG, from Shanghai? They were the absolute national champion for five consecutive years.”

“Zombie Leader from CQ Team is quite a skilled fighter. Besides, in the last match, the maneuvers of Ancestor White Bones were awesome to say the least.”

With a member of the team injured and unable to take part in the compet.i.tion, Qiao Lian had played as a stand-in.

Hence, these people hadn’t realized that she had been the one behind the maneuvers of Ancestor White Bones.

“Speaking of Ancestor White Bones, don’t you guys find her moves a little familiar?”

“Yes, yes, I thought they resembled Xiao Qiao’s! But again, it’s odd. I studied Ancestor White Bones’ maneuvers from the previous matches and the style differed. Besides, in the last two matches of the Beijing finals, she played like a completely different person. That change was too fast!”

Qiao Lian couldn’t help laughing when she heard this.

Of course the change was fast!

Zi Chuan had played the last two matches. Of course it was different from Xiao Qiao’s style.

“Ancestor White Bones is a black horse indeed, but don’t forget, KG Team has Prince, the absolute national solo champion.”
