Rewind time to a few hours ago.
Someone woke up early in the morning and found that the rooms of the other seniors, including Tang Bingyao, were empty. Unwilling to give up, he made a phone call to gossip but was mercilessly hung up.
Number One and Number Five took Tang Bingyao, and the three of them were already in a taxi to Manchester City.
In the front passenger seat, Number One, who hung up the phone, shook his head helplessly.
"This kid …"
"He really doesn't want to give up."
Number Five in the back seat couldn't help but laugh, "Lin Feng?"
"Hmm," Number One grunted, and then scoffed. "Who else could it be other than him? He only wants to get information from us. His mind is filled with all sorts of nonsense. Who knows where all kinds of ideas come from. And what 'grand occasion'..."
He couldn't help but complain. He had some opinions about his direct disciple.
Number Five covered his mouth, "Lin Feng's curiosity is so strong … But the so-called 'grand occasion', he didn't guess wrong, did he?"
Number One in the front passenger seat twitched the corner of his mouth.
"So what if he guessed right?
"At that kind of occasion … How can I just take him there? Besides, if I really let him go, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause. Who knows, I might lose all face as his master — "
As the saying goes, no one knows a disciple better than a master. Number One also knew Lin Feng's character and temper quite well.
But …
Speaking of face —
As if thinking of something, Number One in the front passenger seat turned his head to look at the girl sitting next to his fiancée in the back seat.
"Tang Tang, you have to perform well today.
"Show your skills and show your future master what you're capable of. It's also a way to win face for your sister Xiao Wu and I. That old guy … For so many years, he hasn't easily yielded in front of your sister Xiao Wu and I. It's rare for him to do so."
Speaking of this, Number One's mood seemed to be uncontrollably happy again. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
It was true.
With his current identity and status, he didn't care about ordinary little things at all. Only some rather special exceptions could bring him some satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.
For example, what was about to happen today.
One of his most troublesome enemies in the previous generation, the old man who never gave him any face, made an exception and accepted his proposal. He might even owe him a huge favor.
Just thinking about this kind of thing made people want to laugh out loud.
Number Five glanced at Number One reproachfully at his fiancé's bad taste. "That's enough. You're not young anymore. Why are you still thinking about fighting with others all the time? If you want to fight for your face, fight for it yourself. Don't give TangTang more pressure."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Tang Bingyao and said softly with a smile,
"Tang Tang, don't listen to your Senior Number One's nonsense. Don't be nervous later. Just bring out your usual level, okay?"
Tang Bingyao pursed her lips, nodded, and said, "Mhm."
Even though he promised.
However, it was obvious from the girl's unconsciously clenched hands on her knees that she still couldn't hide her nervousness.
It wasn't strange.
Because even if the girl was usually innocent and didn't think too much about other things, she had already learned from the two seniors what was going to happen next and the person she was going to meet.
Even if she didn't know the specific identity of her so-called "future master", since he was able to receive such high praise from Senior Number One and Little Witch, he definitely wasn't an ordinary person.
And that kind of person …
He must have extremely high standards.
On top of that, she had lost all her confidence in the solo match against Number Five last night. She had suffered quite a huge blow, and now she was feeling even more uneasy. She was thinking about what would happen if she did not perform well enough to disappoint that mysterious senior when she met him later.
Also —
This would also disappoint Senior Number One and Big Sister Xiao Wu.
The more she thought about it, the more her mind was filled with all kinds of messy thoughts. Naturally, she was so nervous that her body trembled.
And this was not a good state to be in for the "interview" later.
Number One and Number Five looked at each other, and Number One coughed and said,
The former coughed and said, "Girl, don't worry."
"Do you still remember what I told you yesterday? Your talent and potential are there for all to see. No one can doubt it. In the entire E-Sports circle, there is no second professional player with your talent and potential."
"And someone like you … happens to be the perfect candidate for my old friend's disciple."
"There can't be anyone else."
Number One paused for a moment before continuing, "By the way, you should have heard of the new AD player in the North American region, Blade, right?"
Tang Bingyao's attention was finally drawn to the topic. She nodded subconsciously.
"Mhmm."
"He played against Season before. He suppressed Season's AD player by more than 100 times in just over 20 minutes."
"He's very strong."
Because she was an ADC player, she would usually pay more attention to the information and situations of the top ADC players in the world. For example, Snowy Nightsong on the Chinese server, as well as the ADC players of the strong Korean teams … She would specially find and watch all kinds of match recordings to learn from them.
Blade, the rookie AD player who had caused a huge uproar in North America, naturally didn't miss out on the attention.
It was just like what she had said. Just by looking at the recording of that single match, she felt that Blade was truly amazing. Whether it was his individual control or his overall awareness of the team battle rhythm … he was more than a level above her.
That's what a top AD player should be like.
That was what she thought at the time.
At that moment, Number One's voice rang out again, bringing her back to reality.
"Mhmm, it's convenient if you've heard of him."
"That Blade … is the disciple that my old friend casually picked up."
"Ah —" Tang Bingyao's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.
This …
This was a huge piece of gossip that she had never expected.
However, the next sentence that came out of Number One's mouth stunned her even more.
"But that half-baked disciple of his. Yesterday, I showed him some of your match recordings, and my old friend decided to toss Blade aside."
"So — do you know what this means?"
Number One turned around and looked at Tang Bingyao calmly. The girl shook her head blankly.
Number Five, who was sitting beside the girl, couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and rubbed the girl's head.
"It means that to 'that person', your talent and potential … is much higher than Blade's."
"This means … you've already been acknowledged by 'that person'."
