Qiao Lian frowned upon hearing this.
She nodded and said to The G.o.dfather and rest of the team, “I’ll go take a look.”
Although the information leak hadn’t been her fault, Purple Fairy had bought the information. Even if she had not given Su Penghao an explanation for the matter, surely Su Penghao would have the intelligence to realize that Purple Fairy and her team had thought of nothing but cheating in the compet.i.tion.
And now Purple Fairy had come looking for him. What was there for the two to talk about exactly?
–
In a deserted corner of the compet.i.tion venue, Purple Fairy tugged at Su Penghao’s sleeve. “Zombie Leader, will you listen to what I have to say?”
Su Penghao’s expression was icy. He looked at her with an expression of disappointment. “I don’t think we have much to talk about.”
Purple Fairy paused for a moment.
She hung her head and sighed. “I know there’s not much I can say. Even if I told you that I did not know anything about this matter, you wouldn’t believe me.”
Su Penghao frowned and didn’t say a word.
Purple Fairy continued, “As a team leader, you should know that the coach does not call the shots—there is an investor.”
Su Penghao raised an eyebrow and looked at her questioningly.
Purple Fairy bit her lip and looked at him. “I only knew about this during the compet.i.tion. Our boss said that I don’t have a flexible or adaptable personality, so he had not told me about it before.”
Then she added angrily, “After the incident, I berated the team, including my team leader. Compet.i.tions are supposed to be fair. How could they use such underhanded means?”
“Zombie Leader, we’ve known each other for some time. You should know how I am.”
Su Penghao wavered at her reasoning.
He pursed his lips and said after a while, “Fine, I will believe you in this case.”
Purple Fairy looked happy and relieved. Then Su Penghao added, “Because you are Xiao Qiao.”
Purple Fairy froze and her expression became a little awkward. “You know me?”
Su Penghao glanced at her and turned away without saying anything.
Of course he knew her.
He had only been a young fellow back then, when he started gaming. Xiao Qiao was the first person he had gotten to know.
At that time, he was a beginner still unfamiliar with the game controls and struggled to keep up and coordinate with the other players.
Xiao Qiao, as one of the players, berated him.
Infuriated, he went offline and even replied, “I’m not playing anymore!”
Xiao Qiao then calmed down and stopped the scolding.
In the end, they won the game, but it had mostly been Xiao Qiao who had held the fort and put on a sterling performance.
Although he had gone offline for that game, he could not deny Xiao Qiao’s impressive gaming skills.
After the game, he thought that it was all water under the bridge but unexpectedly, he received a system notification that someone had added him on their friends list.
When he went into his list, he realized it was Xiao Qian.
A message accompanied the friend request:
[The weakling who left the game halfway through!]
The message provoked him and with anger, he accepted the friend request just to argue with her in the game.
He still remembered Xiao Qiao’s words.
“Don’t take gaming just as an entertainment. I’m serious about every game I play. Even if I lose, I’ll play until the end, because each game is a challenge.”
Just like that, he became friends with Xiao Qiao.
And even though they did not communicate often, his faith in her was firm and unwavering.
