Chapter 28 (2/2)

Xiao Tangqiu hesitated and was wondering whether to accept Su Manluo’s invitation or not when suddenly a burst of chatter sounded from somewhere nearby.

Tang Mianmian and Xaio Tangqiu instinctively turned to look in the direction where the noise was coming from and saw several extremely eye-catching people emerge from the crowd. This sort of conspicuousness was not only reflected in their appearance, but also in their aura.

The appearance of these people were very prominent, and their aura was even more powerful and harder to ignore. The excited and hardly-restrained whispers of onlookers all the more gave away they extraordinary identities.

Su Manluo noticed their looks and narrowed her eyes slightly, “……Those aren’t people you can afford to offend. They’re all strong players of District S and members of Samsara Team.”

“Samsara Team?” Xiao Tangqiu looked puzzled.

“Samsara is one of the top three teams in District S. All of their members are District S players and are among the top players.” Su Manluo sighed, “You don’t even know how many players want to join them. They have the strongest teammates, the best skill cards and props, the most advanced intelligence, but they don’t simply accept anyone……”

She smiled wryly, “Even a District A player won’t be taken seriously by them, what more rookies like you. Just stop your wishful thinking.”

Xiao Tangqiu hadn’t expected to be able to join such a strong team either; he was just curious. But when caught sight of one of the players in that group of people, he felt his head heat up as if all the blood in his body had rushed up to his head at once.

That was a young man in his twenties. He had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes and a tear mole under his left eye. His appearance was dreamy and romantic but he had a cold, distant temperament. His eyes were like a frozen spring that seemed to give off the impression that nothing was ever good enough to deserve his attention, and his eyebrows had a touch of icy indifference.

This face! Even if he were to be burned to ashes, he would still recognize that face! This was clearly the face of a grown-up Meng Xinghe.

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart pounded violently, and he cried out loud, “…… Xinghe! Xinghe!”

He didn’t care about anything else as he single-mindedly pushed himself through the crowd of onlookers, all the way to the front of the crowd, making his way to the front of the man with great difficulty. He shouted fervently, “Xinghe! You didn’t die! You’re still alive!”

But the man didn’t even spare him a glance and merely walked straight past him.

Xiao Tangqiu froze for a moment, it was as if his body had been struck by iceberg, “Xinghe? Xinghe…….. Meng Xinghe!”

Perhaps his voice was too loud because the man finally stopped and gave him with a sidelong glance, his gaze completely calm and without any fluctuations. Although he was looking at him, it was as if he hadn’t seen anything.

Xiao Tangqiu felt his entire body go limp, like he had been nailed to the spot by that one glance.

Very quickly, the man and his companions entered the transfer array, their figures disappearing at once. The crowd of onlookers gradually scattered away, leaving Xiao Tangqiu alone, still at the same spot.

Su Manluo walked over and sighed, “You must’ve mistook him for someone else. The man’s name isn’t the name you called out, nor is his surname Meng.”

Xiao Tangqiu asked blankly, “Who is he then?”

“That’s the captain of Samsara Squad, one of the strongest players in District S….. His name is Shen Yuan.”
