Chapter 983: TO THE OPENING CEREMONY
ALL five members of team Yunyue were all gathered in the main hall of their headquarters. They were waiting for the right time to teleport to the venue for Arcadia Cup"s opening ceremony. Eclipse was also there with the two dragons.
"Why do we even have to be here?" Rowan complained. "This fox brat is the only one going with you, so why do Brother Dusk and I have to be here, too?"
This was because they had decided to keep the existence of the two dragons a secret until the qualifiers ended. Although they were seen by members of team Sanguis before, both of them were in their humanoid form. Anyone who saw them wouldn"t immediately think that they were "pets". People"s first thoughts would be that they were real players.
"Hey, this is called camaraderie, okay?" Bai Ze said. "As a member of this team, you have to be here to cheer us on."
"What"s there to cheer you on? It"s not like you"re going to fight someone," Rowan muttered, but he still stayed silent after that, no longer complaining.
"This opening ceremony will be held in a new venue, right?" Bai Ze asked, turning his attention back to the other four. "What do you think it will look like?"
"From what Brother Zhao said, it was an area that my uncle programmed and designed himself," Shen Ji Yun said.
According to the other, it was also an area that his uncle had made before the VR version of Arcadia even came out. So, it must be an area that his uncle put a lot of thought into. There"s only one thing he was curious about. If his uncle had already finished this area long ago, why did he only reveal it now?
It would be more understandable if this was the 10th season of Arcadia Cup. Having a new venue at that time could show that they were celebrating a decade since Arcadia Cup started. But it was only the seventh season now. What made this season so special?
Surely it was not because their team was making a comeback, right?
"But why can"t we just go there early? Why do we have to wait for a certain time to go?" Luo Jin asked.
Each team that was set to partic.i.p.ate in this season"s Cup was given a special teleportation scroll that would directly send them to the venue for today"s opening ceremony. Together with the teleportation scroll, there was a reminder that said that they should use it on the time indicated on the scroll or else the scroll would lose its effect. Meaning, they could only teleport at the given time.
"Maybe because of the program they prepared for this opening ceremony," Luo Yan said, no one caught the hidden meaning in his words.
"I heard there"s going to be a lot of performance for tonight," Bai Ze said.
"Can we leave ahead if it"s boring?" Su Yuqi asked. The expression on her face already saying that she really didn"t want to go.
"It will definitely not be boring!" Eclipse suddenly interrupted.
Su Yuqi glanced at the little fox with interest. "How can you be so sure?"
A look of panic flashed across Eclipse"s face. But he quickly recovered and said, "Because Eclipse had a feeling that it will be!"
Su Yuqi looked at Eclipse, and then at Luo Yan and said, "Hmm... I see."
Although this little interaction didn"t catch anyone"s attention, Eclipse was still panicking inside. He reached out telepathically to Luo Yan.
[Master! Just now, did Eclipse mess up?]
Luo Yan glanced sideways at Su Yuqi before responding, [It"s fine. Just don"t show any other reaction from now. At least until everything is over.]
[Yes! Don"t worry, Master! Eclipse will do his best not to be too suspicious.]
Luo Yan glanced down at the child standing beside him with a determined look on his little face and he almost said that the other was already being suspicious by acting like that. But he only ruffled the boy"s black hair, thinking that the other was cute.
"Ah, by the way, Brother Xiang Ye called me this morning. He said that he and Brother Yu Lan will go on vacation here. Their arrival will probably fall on or before the finals of the Cup," Su Yuqi suddenly said.
"Really?" Bai Ze asked with excitement.
Even Shen Ji Yun showed a hint of a smile after hearing that.
Of course, Luo Yan and Luo Jin both knew who this Xiang Ye and Yu Lan were. They were the other two original members of team Yunyue. Both were two years older than Shen Ji Yun, Bai Ze, and Su Yuqi. But surprisingly, the five of them formed this team and even won the champions.h.i.+p of the first Arcadia Cup.
The three would mention the other two from time to time, but not that often. But recently, during training, the amount of times the name of the two were mentioned had become more frequent.
From what they heard, the two decided to study abroad after graduating from high school and that"s why they were only three members of team Yunyue when they joined. Maybe the two still wanted to play, but sadly, Arcadia was still not available outside of this country.
"If they"re going to watch us, then we should definitely win," Luo Yan said.
"Right?" Bai Ze agreed. "Both Brother Xiang Ye and Yu Lan will definitely be glad to see us competing in the Cup again."
"It"s time. We should go," Luo Jin reminded.
"We"re going. Watch the house for us, okay?" Bai Ze said to the two dragons.
One scoffed at him, and the other didn"t even bother to reply.
"Let"s go," Shen Ji Yun said.
With that, he took out the special teleportation scroll and tore it in half. Some kind of seal appeared under the feet of six people. And then, they disappeared from where they were standing in a blink of an eye.
When they opened their eyes, some kind of magical scene appeared in front of them.
