"Brother Xia!" Wu Lei asked with a smile, "Have you been busy recently? Everyone misses you! "
"I've been quite busy recently," Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "Lei Zi, how's the team doing recently?"
"Everyone's condition has been very good in the last few games, and the results have been quite good!" Wu Lei said happily. "In the last six games, we've achieved three wins, two draws, and one loss. Now, we're completely away from the relegation zone. It can be said that the mission to stay in the relegation zone has been declared a success. Moreover, we're only four points away from the theoretical European zone. Everyone is now rubbing their hands and rubbing their palms. They're full of confidence and want to rush up in one go. Maybe next season, we'll be able to experience a European game!"
"Three wins, two draws, and one loss? That's a good result! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile." Could it be that the opponents in the last few rounds are just average? "
"Actually, that's not the case. The three games we won were all against mid-level teams in the league. We also drew with Real Sociedad and Getafe. These are all top-ranked teams!" Wu Lei said, and then said with some embarrassment, "The only game we lost was to Real Madrid …"
Xia Ruofei could not help but laugh and said, "Are there a lot of Catalan media mocking you as' point-givers' again?"
The grievances between the various teams in La Liga were also a hot topic for the fans. After Xia Ruofei took over RCD Espanyol, he naturally understood some of the grievances related to RCD Espanyol. As two teams in Barcelona, RCD Espanyol and Barça were naturally incompatible. Although there was a big gap in strength between RCD Espanyol and Barça, every time the two sides faced each other, RCD Espanyol's players did not need to be mobilized at all. They just went on the field and did their best every time, playing 100% or even 120% of their strength. Although they also lost more than they won, they did cause a lot of trouble for Barça.
Compared to when they played against Barça, the RCD Espanyol team's fighting spirit was not as strong when they played against Real Madrid, another "one of the two giants of the Spanish Super League." Due to the huge gap in strength, the RCD Espanyol team lost most of their games cleanly. There was basically no resistance.
As a result, some of the pro-Barça media in the Catalan region were naturally very unhappy. On one hand, they were fighting Barça to the death. If Barça did not perk up and go all out to play, and if they were forced into a draw or even suddenly lost the game, and the Spaniards immediately lost to Real Madrid, wouldn't that be a huge favor to Real Madrid? In the face of the Espanyol players who were on steroids, Barça naturally had to do their best. Every time they played, their stamina would be greatly depleted. Moreover, in the fiery derby, the probability of injury would greatly increase.
As a result, the media ridiculed the Spaniard as Real Madrid's underling. Every time he faced Real Madrid, he acted as a "giveaway boy" with the purpose of stopping Barça.
Wu Lei smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "The difference in strength in that match was too great, and on our side, Iglesias had accumulated yellow cards and was suspended. The few chances he had to counterattack didn't work …"
"If you lose, then you lose! Who cares what others say! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
He was now the owner of the Espanyol team and also a First Team player. Naturally, he shared a common enemy with the Spaniard. Although he did not hate Barça, he did not care what the media thought.
"Yes, we just have to do our best," Wu Lei said. Wu Lei said. Then, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Xia, are you free next weekend? Can you come back and play a game for our team? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "Is this your own idea, or did the team ask you to ask?"
"Coach Ruby can't wait for you to play for the team in every game …" Wu Lei said with a smile. "The players are the same. You have completely conquered everyone with one game. I can see that at a critical moment in the team, everyone is very much hoping that you can come out and help the team win. It's just that they dare not mention it!"
"Zhou Leiyun didn't say anything?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"General Manager Zhou did not specifically mention this matter, but after the last game, he chatted with me for a while and expressed his intentions in this regard," Wu Lei said. "I guess General Manager Zhou felt that you were taking care of me and wanted to inquire about your thoughts through me! If you don't want to, no one dares to force you! "
Wu Lei was honest and did not hide anything from Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "I knew it. Zhou Leiyun is really a cunning guy! Lei Zi, which team are we playing in the next game? When is it? "
Wu Lei was stunned for a moment, and then he asked in surprise, "Brother Xia, you mean …"
"I have to give you face!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "It just so happens that my busy matters have come to an end recently. I still have time to fly over to play one or two games."
In fact, according to Zhou Leiyun's idea, he just hoped to sound out Xia Ruofei's intentions through Wu Lei. If Xia Ruofei was willing to play for the team, of course, he would personally call to invite him — the players and coaches might think that Zhou Leiyun and Xia Ruofei were both team owners, and in terms of wealth, Zhou Leiyun was more wealthy. Xia Ruofei could at most be on equal footing with Zhou Leiyun. In fact, Zhou Leiyun knew very well that the gap between him and Xia Ruofei was very big. If it were not for the link of the RCD Espanyol, it would even be difficult for him to enter Xia Ruofei's circle.
Therefore, Zhou Leiyun naturally did not dare to slight Xia Ruofei in the slightest.
However, Xia Ruofei directly agreed to Wu Lei's request, which made Wu Lei feel quite flattered. He quickly said, "Thank you! Thank you, Brother Xia! "
Then, Wu Lei hurriedly said, "Brother Xia, the next game is next Saturday. We will play against Barça in an away game. It is because this Derby de Catalunya is so important that everyone is looking forward to you taking us to defeat Barça! "
Xia Ruofei silently calculated that there were still six days before the next Saturday's game.
Although it was an away game, Barça, like the RCD Espanyol, was located in Barcelona, so there was no need to travel far. Even if it was necessary to do some adaptive training in advance and to find the feeling of cooperation with everyone, two or three days in advance would be enough.
It would take about fifteen or sixteen hours to fly from Taoyuan Island in the South Pacific.
In other words, he could make it in time to leave in three days.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei said readily, "No problem! I will return to the team two or three days in advance and train with everyone to find the tacit understanding. Then next Saturday, we will go to Camp Nou together and turn it upside down! "
Wu Lei said excitedly, "Haha! With Brother Xia joining us, we are confident that we can cause trouble for Barça! Who said that a small club can't counterattack a big club? "
"Then I'll see you in Spain in the middle of the week!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"See you in the middle of the week!" Wu Lei said happily.
As soon as Xia Ruofei hung up the phone, Ling Qingxue couldn't help but ask, "Ruofei, are you going to Spain to participate in the game again?"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! The team will encounter a strong opponent next weekend, and now is the critical time to attack the European zone. Every point is very important, so they want me to go back and provide some help to the team! I'm not particularly busy these days, so I agreed! "
Ling Qingxue cheered, "I want to go too! I haven't seen you play live yet! "
In fact, Xia Ruofei had only played half of the game. Last time, except for the employees of the Taoyuan Company who went abroad with Xia Ruofei, the other relatives and friends only learned about Xia Ruofei's wonderful performance in that game through the Internet.
Song Wei couldn't help but say, "Ruofei, I want to go too!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "This is such a good place for cultivation. Don't you want to stay here and cultivate?"
Ling Qingxue suddenly showed a conflicted expression when she heard this.
Indeed, when she came to Taoyuan Island, she was deeply attracted to it. The beautiful sea view was secondary, but the rich spiritual energy on the island was really tempting to any cultivator.
Song Wei, who was next to her, laughed and said, "Sister Qingxue, you've been fooled by this guy! He's not on the island. It's so inefficient for us to cultivate alone. What's the point of staying here? "
Ling Qingxue came to her senses. She hit Xia Ruofei a few times and said, "Hey! Why are you so bad? Are you still hiding a woman in Europe? Is that why you don't want me to go with Weiwei? "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but look stunned. He quickly said, "Of course not! Don't talk nonsense … "
He unconsciously thought of Monica, who was far away in Italy. Fortunately, his psychological quality was very good. Except for a slight absent-mindedness, he didn't give himself away.
Ling Qingxue also said so casually. In fact, she didn't suspect it at all. When she and Song Wei saw Xia Ruofei's aggrieved look, they couldn't help but laugh.
Xia Ruofei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Since you've decided, let's go to Spain together! By the way, are all your visas OK? "
Xia Ruofei was mainly worried about Song Wei, because Ling Qingxue, like him, had a business visa to Spain, Italy, and other major European countries. She could go back and forth many times.
In the end, Song Wei nodded and said, "No problem! My visa is still valid. I can enter the country at any time! "
"That's good!" Xia Ruofei said, "Then I'll accompany you to cultivate for the next few days! We'll leave in three days! "
Then, Xia Ruofei said, "By the way, the staff on the island is not here yet. We have to rely on ourselves for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The facilities here will be more and more perfect in the future! The staff will be ready soon! "
"It's okay!" Ling Qingxue said happily, "It's even more peaceful now!"
Xia Ruofei then called Liu An, who had settled down on Evac Island, and asked him to immediately apply for a flight to Barcelona, Spain, and make a flight plan as soon as possible. Three days later, the plane had to take off from Taoyuan Island at eight o 'clock in the morning local time.
Just after calling the flight crew, Xia Ruofei received a call from Zhou Leiyun.
After Wu Lei finished the call with Xia Ruofei, he immediately reported to Zhou Leiyun. When Zhou Leiyun heard that Xia Ruofei did not wait for his invitation and directly agreed to come back to play against Barça, he suddenly felt a little passive. It was reasonable for Zhou Leiyun to make this call himself, instead of letting Wu Lei sound him out.
Zhou Leiyun quickly called Xia Ruofei and apologized profusely.
Xia Ruofei was in a good mood that day. Zhou Leiyun was only a little cunning as a businessman, but he was not a bad person. Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not blame him. Instead, he comforted him with a few words.
Zhou Leiyun was naturally moved. At the same time, he immediately took action. While he was flying to Barcelona on a business jet, he also transferred two people from his domestic company to the club to be responsible for the security work. If Xia Ruofei returned to the club, everything would naturally be guaranteed according to the highest standards.
…
In the next three days, Xia Ruofei put aside all the worldly matters and accompanied Ling Qingxue and Song Wei to live the life of an immortal couple on Peach Blossom Island. He also took a lot of time to take turns with the two of them to practice the [Questioning Heart Sutra at the Beginning].
Both of them had just broken through not long ago. After Xia Ruofei broke through a big realm, they were even more helpful when they practiced together. After three days of practice — the actual practice time was far more than that, because every time they practiced, Xia Ruofei would use the Time Formation Flag — although the two of them were still a little far from the fifth level of Qi Refining, their cultivation had taken a solid step forward.
Xia Ruofei also benefited a lot through practice.
After three days, most of the Qi in his body had been transformed into Primordial Qi. At most, there was only 10% left.
In fact, if Xia Ruofei practiced a little harder, or if he spent more time practicing the [Truth Formula], this 10% of Qi would have been transformed into Primordial Qi.
However, Xia Ruofei did not do so.
This was because after all the Qi was transformed into Primordial Qi, it would soon form a Golden Core cyclone in the dantian. This was also a significant sign that a cultivator had entered the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
The Golden Core cyclone could be said to be the foundation of the Golden Core realm. If this foundation was not firm, it would also determine whether the cultivation would be enough.
Different cultivation methods and different foundations could lead to different quality of the Golden Core.
It would be relatively easier for a high-grade Golden Core cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul realm or even higher. As for a low-grade Golden Core, it was very likely that his cultivation would stop there for the rest of his life.
Xia Ruofei felt that he was not fully prepared, so he began to deliberately suppress it in the later stages of his cultivation. He was not in a hurry to transform all the Qi into Primordial Qi.
During the process of cultivation, he deliberately suppressed about 10% of the Qi and began to refine his Primordial Qi.
This was a typical method introduced in an ancient cultivation book. Through this method, one could suppress the movement of the Golden Core cyclone, and to a certain extent, increase the grade of the Golden Core in the future.
Xia Ruofei had cultivated to this extent, but in fact, he already had a faint understanding of the future path of cultivation. At least, he was very confident about how to cultivate in the Golden Core realm. Therefore, he was not in a hurry and cultivated step by step according to his own understanding.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, it was time for Xia Ruofei and the other two to set off for Spain.
Ling Qingxue and Song Wei had already fallen deeply in love with this beautiful island. When they thought of leaving for a period of time, they suddenly felt a little reluctant.
However, they quickly boarded the plane with Xia Ruofei. After a while, the Haven completed the take-off procedure in the empty airport and flew towards the northwest of the Haven Island … …
