Most of the time, people were easily deceived by the appearance of things, forgetting to explore the truth behind them.
But this couldn't be blamed any more.
Because it was true that even the appearance of things was extremely deceptive.
Just like tonight.
The training of the three teams in the Longteng Esports Stadium was in full swing from the beginning. The members of the three teams, God, Speed Water, and KG, took turns to go on the field, and with the addition of a few temporary sparring partners, they fought one after another to amaze the audience.
There was also a review after the actual combat, which involved the coaches and team leaders of several clubs. Several giant LCD screens on the stage continued to operate at the same time. In the brightly lit and spacious hall, the small teams gathered into circles and analyzed, discussed, and exchanged views enthusiastically and enthusiastically.
It was as if everyone was immersed in the process of preparing for the S6 finals.
He even neglected the fact that the two specially hired senior coaches, No.3 and No.5, had left in advance.
Just like before.
In the cool night wind of Shanghai, the master and disciple stood on the street, waiting for a taxi under the dim yellow street lights while exchanging information about the previous generation with great interest.
The atmosphere was relaxed and lively like never before.
The disciple asked questions excitedly.
The master smiled and did not hide anything, answering them one by one.
There was also the banter between the two.
And the fun and funny.
Such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere … seemed to have a magical power that could make people ignore and forget a lot of things, involuntarily immersing themselves in it.
But …
In the end, everything did not really go as planned.
Perhaps it was the silent tacit understanding between the master and disciple to create a beautiful atmosphere, but at this moment —
Finally.
Someone said something in the cool night breeze.
And then suddenly stopped.
"Senior.
"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
The moment his voice fell, it was as if the originally beautiful facade suddenly shattered into countless fragments, and then inevitably, something hidden under the facade slowly revealed itself.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet at this moment.
In the sky, the bright silver moon seemed to have sensed something and quietly hid behind the thick clouds. The light on the ground gradually dimmed, leaving only the street lights at the intersection still quietly sprinkling a dim yellow light.
Sprinkling on Lin Feng's body.
In front of the side door of the front passenger seat of the taxi, Number One's hand paused for a split second.
Then, he looked at his disciple.
Under the dim yellow road light, a certain someone stood there quietly, stubbornly staring at him. There seemed to be no change in the expression on her face, but from the depths of the former's eyes, he could faintly capture some apprehension and uneasiness.
Number One said nothing.
Lin Feng didn't ask any more questions. He just kept his mouth shut and his eyes never left his teacher's face.
The next moment.
Number One shook his head and smiled in a relaxed manner.
"Let's go back."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Little Tian, Ah Hang, and Ah Xing are all waiting for you inside."
His voice was as gentle and indifferent as ever.
It was as if that abrupt question just now didn't cause any impact, and it was just going to be brushed aside lightly and quietly.
After that, No. 1 bent over and sat in the front passenger seat of the taxi, closed the door, and waved at someone who was still standing under the streetlight through the window as a farewell.
Then the taxi engine started.
It slowly moved forward.
"Friend, where to?"
The driver asked.
"Pudong Airport," Number One answered from the front passenger seat. Then, he closed his eyes tiredly before opening them again. He took out his phone and dialed a series of phone numbers.
Soon, the call was connected.
Number Five's sweet and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello?"
Number One took a deep breath. "You haven't boarded the plane yet?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little noisy. Number Five's reply came.
"The flight was delayed for half an hour, but I'm already queuing up."
"What about you?"
Number One said, "I just got in the car. I'm heading to Pudong Airport."
He paused for a moment.
"I just chatted with Lin Feng for a while."
Number Five quickly sensed her fiancé's mood and asked softly, "You still haven't told him?"
Number One was silent for a moment. "Yes." He then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"But that kid …"
"He's probably guessed something."
As he said that, he looked at the rearview mirror outside the car window.
Through the rearview mirror, he could see that the street where the master and disciple had been standing was slowly moving further and further away. But vaguely … he could still see someone's figure.
Under the dim light of the street, Lin Feng stood motionless in the same place.
His head hung low.
In the end … he didn't chase after Senior One and ask him what was going on.
But unknowingly, he subconsciously tightened his grip on his phone in his trouser pocket.
Through the case of the phone, he could still clearly feel the temperature coming from the neatly folded letter.
It was a little hot.
So hot that he couldn't help but become more and more anxious.
…
When he returned to the hall of the eSports arena, Shi Hang, Tian Tian, Huangxue Nightsong, and Morning Star all looked at Lin Feng.
"Why were you out for so long?"
"Did Senior One leave?"
"Hey, did you talk about something? Did Senior give us any instructions before he left?"
In the face of their curious and concerned questions, Lin Feng reached out and rubbed his face. Then he shrugged as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, it's okay.
"We were just gossiping about some random stuff …"
Gossip?
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
"What gossip?"
A certain someone looked at the guys whose curiosity was obviously piqued and curled his lips. "There's no benefit in telling you. Let's not talk about it. Let's get back to work."
Then, amidst their grumbling, Lin Feng brushed the topic aside and focused on the discussion once again.
It was as if what had happened outside the eSports arena had never happened at all.
Time passed until late at night.
Finally, even though they hadn't had enough, the team members of the three clubs couldn't help but feel a little tired. The leaders and coaches of each club looked at the condition of their team members and knew that tonight's training was almost over.
Although time was tight for preparation, it was also the finals. The priority was still to take care of the physical and mental state of the team members.
They couldn't let everyone tire themselves out just to prepare for the finals.
That was like picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons. It wasn't worth it.
Thus, the group training ended here. The higher-ups of the three clubs met to discuss and confirm the same training time tomorrow evening. Then, they began to call out to their respective team members to pack up and leave.
"Want to go eat supper?"
Huangxue Nightsong suggested to the others.
Tian Tian and Li Shiyi's gazes fell on Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng?"
Lin Feng shook his head.
"Forget it. I'm a little tired today. Maybe next time."
Then he turned to Tang Bingyao, who was walking over, and waved.
"Tang Tang, let's go.
I'll take you home first. "
