While the Rune Dragon haters were rubbing their palms and getting ready, a group of six walked into the competition room from the lounge, chatting and laughing.
As substitutes, Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin had to wait in the virtual cabin.
In the last match of the group stage, Rune Dragon and Ethereal were randomly assigned to a desert map.
Ji Chae Yi, Si Yin, Shan Gu, and Xiao Gu didn't give their opponents any chance. They eliminated all six of their opponents cleanly.
In other words, whether Xiao Bai and Zijin appeared in the center of the competition or not, the result would be the same — they didn't have to fight!
Especially after Xiao Gu had experienced the previous team and individual matches, he seemed to have found the feeling and performed more consistently in this match.
In the individual matches, Shan Gu was the first to fight, followed by Si Yin and Chae Yi!
Ethereal Battle Team, who had been completely defeated, didn't make any waves in the individual matches.
Three battles and three losses ended their journey in the Empire League.
No matter what the Rune Dragon haters said, in Group C, Valiant Battle Team, Lantern Light Battle Team, and Ethereal Battle Team were all convinced.
Everyone seemed to be at the same level, but in terms of actual combat ability, there was a huge gap.
After three rounds of six matches in the group stage, no matter which team it was, all of them had grown tremendously.
The best thing about a top-level league like this was that it could broaden the horizons of these young people and expand their horizons.
It wasn't meaningful to just rely on their teachers to tell them that there was always someone better out there.
There were some things that could only be understood after one had experienced it for themselves.
In the post-match press conference, Liu politely invited Ethereal Battle Team to be interviewed first.
Ethereal Battle Team dealt with the interview, and so did the reporters who never followed the weak. They asked a few questions and gave them a few blessings. That was the end of the interview.
Everyone knew that the main event was about to begin!
Liu, who had always been a man of few words, was well prepared.
It was nothing more than being condemned, questioned, and put in a difficult position.
Well, that was nothing.
Because both the current and future emperors knew the truth of the matter, and that was enough.
When Liu stood under the spotlight, countless people flocked to him.
"Captain Liu … please accept my question first!"
"Captain Liu …"
"Captain Liu, how do you explain the fact that Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin of your team looked down on their opponents?"
Most people still maintained the most basic integrity and dignity, but a few people didn't care and directly asked questions.
Liu maintained his smile as he faced the chaotic scene below the stage.
Even though the official staff of the Empire League were maintaining order, it was useless.
No matter how handsome a person was, there would always be people who didn't like him.
Among the one hundred people, all of them had different personalities and were of all shapes and sizes. There were all kinds of people.
Not to mention the entire Zulong Empire, which had a population of close to two trillion people, as long as one wasn't a god, it was unlikely that everyone would like him.
Even if it was a god, there would definitely be countless twisted idiots shouting all day long that they wanted to kill and slay gods.
It couldn't be helped.
Liu was very open-minded.
He opened his arms and pressed them down slightly, hoping that this group of people would quieten down.
The official staff of the Empire League also shouted into the microphone, "Everyone, please pay attention to the rules of the press conference. Be quiet! Please be quiet! If you continue like this, the press conference won't be able to proceed smoothly. So, please calm down, be polite, and keep quiet, okay? "
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was a noisy scene.
There were at least thousands of media reporters gathered here.
There were only eighteen planets, but the number of media outlets was uncountable!
Therefore, the scene of thousands of people was really nothing.
The official staff was a little angry.
He felt that this was a little too much, too disrespectful.
Even though he shouted at the top of his lungs, even though he had the help of a loudspeaker, his voice was directly drowned out by the crowd's shouting.
Liu looked at the staff with pity, feeling that he was especially pitiful.
Therefore, he turned around and left.
Yes, he left.
"Captain Liu … please answer my question!"
"Captain Liu, running away won't solve the problem!"
"Please answer us directly, Shirō Makino …"
Liu silently gave this group of people a middle finger in his heart. Answer your ass!
A large number of media reporters below the stage thought that Liu was just throwing a tantrum and would return soon. But what they didn't expect was that after seeing Liu leave. The official who had been yelling at the top of his lungs to maintain order … had also left!
After he left, the security guards in charge of maintaining order looked at each other and left as well.
Since you liked to shout so much, I'll let you shout to your heart's content here.
But after everyone left, there was a strange silence at the scene.
Everyone quieted down.
The main character had left, what was there to shout for?
At this moment, someone suddenly roared angrily, "This is too much! This is really too much! The Rune Dragon Battle Team, from top to bottom, is a bunch of arrogant things! "
"That's right, such a team, even if they win all the group matches, even if they can go further in the finals, they will still be a disgusting team!"
"Young people can be proud when they have achievements, but they can't be arrogant and willful, let alone arrogant! The previous captain was arrogant, abandoning so many hard-working reporters and refusing to accept interviews; the current captain is even more arrogant, looking down on his opponents, and being late for such an important competition. "
"Hehe, that's really funny. Those two hosts from Flying Deity even dared to whitewash Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin in the live broadcast room, saying that they were the two Empire's worshippers who fought against the Protoss. Can they not be so funny? These two arrogant things, how can they be mentioned in the same breath as the two heroes? Stop disgusting people! Comparing them to the heroes is a huge humiliation to the heroes! "
Alright, now the crowd was really stirred up.
Shirō Makino and the group couldn't even leave through the normal contestant passage.
They could only leave through the secret passage of the competition center.
They didn't return to the hotel.
Because a large number of media reporters were blocking the entrance of the hotel they were staying at.
Some of the more resourceful ones had even entered the interior of the hotel …
The group came to another place, similar to the private clubhouse of Chae Yi's family.
Xiao Gu said to the crowd, "This is a secret hideout of mine, very few people know about it. Let's deal with it here first. As for those people blocking the way, it's not a good idea to use administrative means to interfere. "
Liu said a little embarrassedly, "It's my fault, I was too impulsive."
"How can it be your fault? Liu, what you did was too cool! Without saying a word, he turned around and left, without hesitation, without hesitation! That was really cool! Unprecedentedly cool! He's almost as cool as Brother Bai! "Shan Gu praised loudly.
Liu smiled bitterly and waved his hand. "Alright, alright, we've been brothers for so many years, I was indeed impulsive this time."
Xiao Gu said, "This really isn't your fault, it's only you. If it was me in that situation, I might have given them the middle finger."
"Hahahaha!"
The crowd couldn't help but laugh.
They got out of the car and entered the clubhouse.
It didn't have the luxury and grandeur of the royal family that they had imagined, the interior decoration was simple and elegant.
Ji Chae Yi said as they walked, "But looking at the decoration, it doesn't look like the style of a young person."
Xiao Gu nodded and said, "That's right, this place actually belonged to one of my uncles. He gave this place to me on my birthday a few years ago."
"Hmm, your uncle is quite talented," Chae Yi praised.
"My uncle is King Qi, Li Yu," Xiao Gu said with a smile.
The crowd was speechless.
Shirō Makino couldn't help but shake his head. Looking at the decoration, the owner was indeed a talented and tasteful person.
But when this person was King Qi, it made people speechless.
Was this … living in the house that their enemy used to live in?
After entering the inner room, Xiao Gu planned to personally brew some tea for everyone.
However, seeing how clumsy he was, Ji Chae Yi chased him to the side and said to Si Yin, "Come!"
Xiao Gu: "…"
Chae Yi said confidently, "I'm not good at this!"
Fine, you're right!
Everyone sat down, and Xiao Gu looked at Shirō Makino and said, "Boss, you don't want to publicize this, right?"
Shirō Makino was chatting with Xiahou Ziyue on the communicator. He nodded when he heard that. "Of course, it won't be good to publicize it."
Xiao Gu nodded lightly. "Hmm, I understand. For a genius like you, there have to be many people watching you in the dark. Who knows what kind of goal these people have and what kind of thoughts they have. So, it's right not to publicize it. It's just that it doesn't feel good to let those trash slander you like this. "
"Then, can the crown prince intervene?" Shan Gu chuckled.
"Shan Gu, don't talk nonsense. When did our Ancestral Dragon stop people from speaking?" Liu glared at Shan Gu to stop him from talking nonsense and causing trouble for Xiao Gu.
Xiao Gu was only Xiao Gu in front of them. If his identity was publicized, to the outside world, he would be the crown prince of the empire!
There had to be a limit to how casual he could be.
Xiao Gu smiled and said, "It's fine, Liu. In front of all of you, I'm Xiao Gu. Please don't worry."
Liu smiled. He knew that Xiao Gu meant well, so he didn't say much. However, he prepared to talk to the others in private, including Xiao Bai … Xiao Gu was now the crown prince, no longer a normal prince.
Xiao Gu could be indifferent, but the others couldn't be indifferent.
Otherwise, what they would face in the future wouldn't just be those Rune Dragons slandering them, but the imperial court slandering them!
The haters on the internet would only shout "Come on!", but in reality, most of them were very cowardly.
But slandering the imperial court was different.
Those who said that there was no hierarchy in this world were either ignorant or bad.
Old Liu had already understood these principles before he went to university.
Si Yin's tea ceremony was better than everyone else's. With her mushroom hair, her cute eyes were filled with seriousness, and her movements were smooth.
Even Xiao Gu couldn't help but nod in praise.
Seeing that Shirō Makino was chatting with someone on the communicator, Lin Zijin leaned over and glanced at him. "This lady is quite impressive. Call her over. She must still be in shock."
"It's not convenient here, right?" Shirō Makino raised his eyebrows. Xiahou Ziyue was indeed a talent, but she wasn't in the same circle as them. She was different from his disciples. If he called her here, she would probably be more reserved.
So he smiled and said, "It's fine. She's already returned to school. She's fine. She's quite brave. Although she's a little frightened, that guy has been captured, so she's fine. Let's talk about the upcoming competition. "
"Brother Bai, are we really not going to respond to the doubts from the outside world?" Shan Gu was still a little unhappy.
"There's no need to respond." Shirō Makino smiled and said, "Just keep winning."
Xiao Gu suddenly received a call. He greeted everyone and ran to answer the call.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, then they couldn't help but laugh.
Shirō Makino looked at Liu and said, "Good riddance!"
Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Ji Chae Yi said, "Xiao Bai is right. There's no need to care about those people. They're like a swarm of flies. As long as we can keep winning and pick up the championship trophy, all the noise will naturally disappear."
Shan Gu turned on a few screens and pointed at the various news. He said to everyone, "Look, look. What nonsense is this? They're saying that we're looking down on our opponents. They're saying that we'll definitely be surrounded by all our opponents in the finals … F * ck, it's like we're really afraid!"
Liu looked at him and said, "What do you mean by surrounded by all our opponents? Which team doesn't want to be the champion in the finals? Which match doesn't require us to put our lives on the line? "
At this moment, Xiao Gu returned from outside. He gave everyone an apologetic smile and said, "I'm really sorry. My father called me back. He probably wants to ask me about what happened today."
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Bai. "Do I have to tell the truth?"
Shirō Makino nodded. "Of course. Even if you don't tell the truth, he knows it clearly in his heart."
"Okay. I understand! You can stay here. I have arranged everything. If you need anything, just tell me! "
After that, Xiao Gu left quickly.
They chatted for a while and then went back to rest.
After a series of matches, they were all exhausted. As the group matches ended, the exhaustion finally broke out.
When Lin Zijin woke up, it was still dark outside. She checked the time and found it was about 1 am.
She waved her hand and turned on the screen. There was a message in her inbox.
Lin Zijin was shocked. Only a few people in the world knew her inbox.
Except for Xiao Bai and Chae Yi, only Lin Caiwei knew it. Besides, Han Bingxue was always protecting her, so nobody could mess with her.
[Is it from my great aunt?]
Lin Zijin casually opened the mailbox. She took a look at the contents of the email and was instantly stunned.
She didn't know the person who sent her the message, but she knew who it was immediately.
"Lin Zijin, I'm the internal liaison for the Lin Family's Elder Council. I'm sending you this message because I have good news to tell you. The Elder Council of the Lin Clan has decided to allow you to return to the clan and act as the daughter of the Lin Clan. As for the various unfavorable rumors about you on the internet, the family will take care of them after you return to the family. "
The content was short, but Lin Zijin read it several times.
She recalled what Lin Caiwei had said to her before she left.
"In fact, some people in the clan have been contacting me recently. They want me to bring you back to the clan. Your performance is getting better and better. The Elder Council has been paying more attention to you. I don't want it to affect you. Please don't fight with the clan because of me. It is not necessary. No matter what, they can't change your bloodline. Even your parents can't change it.
"If they show enough sincerity, I suggest you think about it. After all, it is better to rely on a powerful clan. You are still young. Even if the clan has a mission, they won't send you one that you can't complete. If they really dare to do that, you can just refuse. "
"Girl, remember, don't be impulsive. Our situation is completely different. Even your parents don't get along with some people. The clan is too big, so it is normal for this to happen. Yes, that's it. When they really contact you, you should think about it carefully. "
Lin Zijin didn't think much of it at that time.
"Who made the decision to send me to Three-Immortal Island when my parents weren't around?"
"When I escaped from Three-Immortal Island with my brother, why was there someone from the Lin Clan among the people who chased me? At that time, where was the clan behind me? What did they do for me? "
"All these years, the two of us have depended on each other. You have invested almost all of your resources in me. You have tried to find the best resources for me, and even delayed your own cultivation. At this time, where is the clan? "
"Oh, I'm performing a little well now. I look quite outstanding, and they just appeared? They want to accept me back into the clan? Why should I? Is there a throne waiting for me to inherit? I'm not going back! "
Faced with the stubborn Lin Zijin, Lin Caiwei didn't say much at that time.
She only told Lin Zijin to think about it herself.
At the same time, she also told Lin Zijin that even her parents had not left the clan.
Lin Zijin's attitude towards this was very firm.
"They are them, and I am me."
Faced with this email, Lin Zijin's pure eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, and she replied with three words — no need.
At the same time, in Ziyun planet, Zhongzhou.
In a manor of the hidden clan Lin Family.
A middle-aged man in his forties was drinking tea and chatting with Lin Yue. The moment his communication device rang, he immediately turned it on and said excitedly, "I knew it, a little girl …"
As he spoke, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Looking at the three words on the screen, the middle-aged man said angrily, "How can she not know what's good for her?"
Lin Yue sat opposite him and laughed. "How is it? I knew it, this little girl is just like that b * tch Lin Caiwei, she doesn't know what's good for her. "
The middle-aged man's face was cold and filled with anger.
Lin Yue laughed and said, "The clan has already shown enough sincerity, but she doesn't care and can't be bothered with us. So, Lin Qi, I advise you to quickly reply to Young Master Duan and give up. "
"But I've already promised Young Master Duan," Lin Qi said in a low voice.
"So what if you've promised? It's impossible for you to separate that little girl and that brat from the Bai family. I'm not trying to disgust you, Lin Qi. Think about it, even the Third Prince has been traumatized by that little girl. I really don't know what that Young Master Duan is thinking, wanting to get close to her. I also don't quite understand what you're thinking, how dare you accept it? As for me, after suffering quite a bit of loss, I finally understood. Even a real big shot like King Qi has temporarily admitted defeat. So, I really don't have the strength to advise you on this matter! "Lin Yue said with a smile as he drank his tea, but in his heart, he was laughing coldly.
Lin Qi, do you really think that I, Lin Yue, am an idiot? Back then, I did that because I had a request from King Qi! Now, even King Qi has given up, but you still want to stir up trouble. The golden name of the Lin family may be useful to outsiders, but against the Bai family … Haha, you'll have to face it yourself.
The middle-aged man's face was cloudy, and he said in a low voice, "Lin Yue, we're all brothers, don't be so polite. Do you think this matter … is really hopeless?"
Lin Yue thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "Isn't there an old saying that nothing in the world is difficult for those who set their minds on it? So, I really don't dare to say that there is no hope. But I'll also tell you the truth, don't mind me, I'm not optimistic about it. "
"But the Duan family …" Lin Qi slightly frowned.
"No matter how powerful the Duan family is, it's just an ancient family like our Lin family. I say, Lin Qi, what benefits did Young Master Duan give you? Is it convenient for you to satisfy my curiosity? "Lin Yue asked with a smile.
"Enter the God Realm." Lin Qi looked at Lin Yue and said indifferently.
Lin Yue stopped smiling and looked at Lin Qi indifferently, "How can they guarantee it? In terms of resources, the Lin family is not worse than the Duan family. "
"But I can't get that much, and there are some things that can't be solved with resources." Lin Qi calmly looked at Lin Yue, "For example, the Heavenly Lake Holy Land."
Lin Yue's eyes instantly widened. After a moment of silence, he said, "Take me with you, I can help you!"
"It's not a problem to take you with me, but how are you going to help? Are you going to kidnap that girl? "Lin Qi asked.
"We're all family, how can you kidnap her?" Lin Yue looked at him and said in a low voice, "After that loss, I've learned to be smart. There are some things that you have to use your wits, not force."
