Hearing these words from Qiao Lian provoked Su Penghao even more. “Qiao Lian, it’s fine if you have something against me, but I won’t allow you to say such things about Xiao Qiao!”
“I have confidence in Xiao Qiao’s character and I trust her! I’ve had a few meals with her and we did discuss gaming. But we never discussed strategies. These days I’ve been busy training and didn’t even have the time to contact her! And this ambush strategy only came to me last night. There, are you satisfied now with this explanation?”
“And I will say it again. Since I’ve made the decision to join this team, I’ll make this team my home. However Purple Fairy, who is also Xiao Qiao, is my idol, so I fully trust her. Although I greatly respect her, I will not betray my club!”
After making this statement, Su Penghao turned around and headed upstairs.
In his temper and fury, he resembled a cat with standing on end fur.
Qiao Lian couldn’t help but grimace at his extreme reaction.
But on the other hand, she was warmed by how protective he was of Xiao Qiao.
She hadn’t thought that after all these years, she would still have such loyal fans who unconditionally loved her.
She found Su Penghao’s persistence to be both adorable and annoying at the same time.
Shooting Shen Liangchuan a look and sighing, she got ready to leave. But Su Penghao came bouncing down the stairs again.
He was after all, still a big kid. As quickly as his temper had flared, it simmered down.
By then, he had recovered from the outburst and was back to his normal self. He came up to her and turned off his cell phone before tossing it onto the table.
Qiao Lian was stunned for a moment. “What’s that about?”
Su Penghao frowned and said, “I thought about it and I think you might be right. The compet.i.tion is in two days. Let’s all turn off our cell phones. Like this we can watch over each other and ensure that we have no contact with anyone outside the team. This will help us protect our strategy.”
A team’s unique and unusual strategy was a critical element to its success.
Qiao Lian was impressed by Su Penghao’s quick grasp of the bigger picture.
Although she trusted him, she was also worried about unforeseen situations. Hence she agreed. “Alright then, let’s take precautions and make no a.s.sumptions. You guys will have to put up with it for the next two days.”
With this, the club isolated itself and went into seclusion in preparation for their upcoming fight.

That same day when they got home, Qiao Lian went into the study room to a.n.a.lyze their strategy.
She scribbled and drew on pieces of paper, and finally came up with the most ideal combination for the team.
The following day, she went to the club to discuss the strategy with the team.
In addition, they secretly tested the new combination and the result was unexpectedly outstanding.
Although the five teammates had initially been nervous, the team was at once relieved when they saw how effective the new combination was.
All of them were steeled to fight, and the confusion and perplexity they had felt before the compet.i.tion disappeared. The team’s morale was boosted to an unprecedented high.
The team members kept their spirits high right up to the time of the compet.i.tion.
At two in the afternoon of the third day, Qiao Lian and her team members arrived at the compet.i.tion venue together.
This compet.i.tion would pave this fighting team’s path to greatness.
Presented as a sporting event, the eSports compet.i.tion had attracted a large audience of fans.
Thousands turned up at the compet.i.tion venue and the atmosphere was abuzz with excitement.
The selected players of each team took their own places.
Today was the preselection match.
The compet.i.tion proceeded in the arranged order for the teams, who had been ranked according to their points.
They started drawing lots on stage and Zombie Leader Su Penghao represented the CQ Team.
After the lots had been drawn, the results were announced. Qiao Lian could not believe her eyes.
Indeed, some enemies are destined to fight each other.
