nThe scene suddenly quietened down.

nBy the time everyone had returned to the waiting room, the coach had already finished negotiating with the staff. The coach stared at the top-laner and scolded, “Why are you so useless! They refused to let you fight before the competition!”

n

n

nThe person in charge lowered his head in guilt. “It’s all my fault for being too impulsive.”

nHowever, the moment he remembered that it was Tao Wei who had caused the car accident… and caused them, who were at the peak of their careers, to fall into a deep pit, the person in charge could not help but tear up.

nThey could have fought for another three years, or even double that. If they did not have any professional illness, they could have fought for another three years… They had won three consecutive championships, but now, their careers had been forcefully ruined.

nEven Support Li and Xiao Kai did not return to their senses, let alone blame the top-laner.

n

n

nXiao Kai could not empathize with the seniors, but he also knew that he was the next candidate to be nurtured. He originally had at least two years to grow.

nHowever, this year… he had been forcefully promoted. The result was that his mentality collapsed.

nNo one spoke in the training room.

nThe atmosphere was low.

n

n

nLooking at them, the coach was speechless. If not for his identity, he would have beaten Tao Wei up since the others were unable to vent their anger!

nThe coach’s eyes turned red as well. He sighed deeply and looked at Xiao Kai. “We don’t have enough people now. How can we go on stage? Xiao Kai, you…”

nXiao Kai bit his lip. “Coach, I-I only know how to play marksman!”

nHe had never trained as a top-laner before.

nThe coach then turned to look at Gao Yanchen… then looked away. Shooters were the most important position. When Xiao Kai started playing, it was originally the team’s shortcoming. Now, it was impossible for him to continue playing marksman.

nHe turned to look at Xue Xi… This person was omnipotent. She was originally a marksman, but after playing as a mage, she should have no problem with another role.

n

n

nHowever!

nIf Xue Xi went to play another role, what about Old Wang’s spot?!

nThe coach was at a loss.

nThe team originally lacked people, but now it was even more the case.

nIn the past, the XH team did not have a reserve because the five people who went on stage were the strongest. Not having a reserve, they were even hailed by the fans, saying that this showed their confidence.

nHowever, this confidence had now become a hindrance to them.

nJust as the coach was thinking this, Gao Yanchen suddenly turned to look at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, where’s Brother Xiang?”

nGao Yanchen had played with Xiang Huai before. Seeing that his ID was “X,” he knew that he was the expert from back then. If only Xiang Huai could make up for his position…

n

n

nXue Xi paused when she heard this.

nShe then reacted and asked in confusion, “You want him to fill up the seat?”

nGao Yanchen nodded.

nXue Xi thought for a moment. “Sure.”

nFeng Yan was stunned.

nAsking General Xiang to play in an eSports competition? Back then, after X became an Omnipotent King, every eSports club had invited him, but unfortunately, X rejected them.

nHe’d never played eSports.

nHow could he agree?

nAs he had this thought, Xue Xi ended the call and hung up. “He’s coming.”

nFeng Yan: “??”

nGeneral Xiang, you’ve changed!

nThe previously cold and heartless iron-faced assassin was actually listening to Sister Xi now?

nThe corners of his lips twitched.

n

n

nThe coach was still in doubt. “Who is it? Will it be alright?”

nBefore Gao Yanchen could speak, Xue Xi said, “Mhm. Although he’s a little old and doesn’t play well, the four of us will take good care of him.”

nJust as the coach was about to say something, Xue Xi continued, “We can only do this now. We don’t know if anyone is on the same side as us. Only he is more reliable.”

nGao Yanchen: “?”

nSister Xi, do you have some misunderstanding about X?!

nFeng Yan’s lips twitched as well. Under the coach’s suspicious gaze, he said, “Go, discuss with the staff about the change.”

nSince they were here to participate in the competition, it was naturally impossible for them to randomly change people. They had to hand in the name list beforehand.

nHowever, XH was quite special. This grand finale was something that the country was looking forward to. Even if the government was doing this for the 10,000 votes, it was impossible that they would not let XH go on stage.

nThey should agree to an additional contestant at the last minute.

nThe coach twitched his lips and nodded.

nStill feeling uneasy, he stood there and waited. Just as he was thinking of waiting for someone to come and take a look, he saw Xiang Huai’s slender body walking over.

nHe did not walk very often, but because of his legs, he was only a few steps away from the end of the corridor. When he reached them, the coach could not help but remind him, “Remember to listen to orders when they play games later.”

nXiang Huai shot him a glance and remained silent.

nThe coach was stunned. Why was this person so cocky?

nAlthough Xiang Huai accompanied Xue Xi every day at the club, the rest did not interact much with him because he was too cold.

nHe exuded an aura that prevented others from getting close. Hence, although the coach had spent 15 days with him every day, he was still a little unfamiliar with him.

nSeeing that he was silent, the coach could not help but look at Xue Xi for help.

nXue Xi then turned to look at Xiang Huai. “Mhm. Be obedient later.”

nXiang Huai smiled. “Sure.”

nXue Xi continued, “I know that you’re old and can’t handle things well, so just lean back and don’t rush forward.”

nGao Yanchen: “…”

nFeng Yan: “…”

nHowever, Xiang Huai still doted on her and nodded. “Alright. Then you must protect me.”

nFeng Yan: “?” General Xiang, where is your cold and heartless persona?!

nXue Xi did not think that there was anything wrong with her words and continued nodding. “However, don’t be afraid when it’s time to attack. Just charge ahead. If you die, we’ll make up for the damage.”

nFeng Yan: “…”

nGiving permission for General Xiang to take the lead?

nThat was General Xiang!!!

nWho dared to speak to him in such a tone?!

nHe thought that Xiang Huai was going to be angry, but this person still said, “Fine, I’ll let my little kid protect me.”

nEveryone: “…”

nAre you joining an eSports competition, or are you here to flirt?!

nThe rest of the people’s lips twitched. The coach also said helplessly, “Tell me your game ID. I’ll go tell the authorities about the change.”

nSigh, this random person looked a little unreliable. Could it be that right as they had finally reached the finals, they were still going to lose the championships by being short of hands?!

nJust as he was thinking this, he saw Xiang Huai look at him and say, “X.”

nThe coach: “…”

nCoach: “?”

nHe felt that he must have heard wrongly. He looked at Xiang Huai in surprise. “What?”

nXiang Huai could not be bothered with him.

nFeng Yan said, “You didn’t hear wrongly. Hurry up and go!”

nCoach: “!!!”

nHis eyes widened as he looked at Xiang Huai in disbelief. “Yes, yes!”

nX?

nNo wonder Feng Yan appeared so calm. So this person was actually X!!!
