Chapter 7

Su Xiaoyue almost returned home without realizing it.

"Father... is dead..."

Even now, Su Xiaoyue still cannot accept this reality.

How did things turn out this way?

Before the incident, Su Xiaoyue had never imagined that such a cruel thing would happen to her.

She never thought such a thing would happen.

"Miss, the bath is ready."

The maid had already prepared everything.

However, Su Xiaoyue looked at her blankly for a long time before saying, "No, just turn it off. I'm very tired today."

"Yes, Miss."

Su Xiaoyue went straight to her room and closed the door. The uncontrollable tears immediately flowed down her face like a stream.

But at this moment, the doorbell of Su Xiaoyue's house rang at an inappropriate time.

"Miss, Young Master Lu has come." The maid knocked on the door of Su Xiaoyue's house.

"What does he want?"

Su Xiaoyue immediately put on a cold and frosty face. She took a deep breath and came out of the room.

"Xiaoyue, are you okay? As soon as I heard about your father's misfortune, I came over immediately." Lu Zhong, seeing Su Xiaoyue come out of the room, said with false concern.

"I'm fine, no need to worry." Su Xiaoyue replied coldly to Lu Zhong.

"Xiaoyue, I know you don't like me, but from now on, your family will only have you left, all alone. My father and I both think this is not good." As Lu Zhong spoke, he took a step toward Su Xiaoyue, and she also took a step back.

"Lu Zhong, don't think that just because my father is gone, you can do whatever you want!" Su Xiaoyue scolded him.

Hearing Su Xiaoyue's words, the corner of Lu Zhong's mouth twitched. He finally burst out: "I've been chasing you for so long, and you dare to talk to me like this?!"

In a fit of anger, Lu Zhong swore and pushed Su Xiaoyue.

Su Xiaoyue was pushed to the ground by Lu Zhong.

"Lu Zhong, what do you want?!"

Su Xiaoyue was about to call the maid, but at that moment, Lu Zhong's face turned fierce: "I just sent your maid away. From today on, you belong to the Lu family. My father is preparing to apply to be your guardian. When that happens, the money of the Su family will also be the money of the Lu family. Let's see how you can still be so arrogant!"

Seeing Su Xiaoyue's pale face, Lu Zhong was extremely pleased. In his view, Su Xiaoyue's appearance clearly showed that she had already given up and was ready to be at his mercy!

However, just as Lu Zhong was about to pounce, he suddenly felt something cold from Su Xiaoyue's hand touch his private parts...

"Ah...!"

This was the greatest pain a man could ever experience...

...

Tuantian Club.

This club was only recently established. In fact, the entire club has only six members, making it a very small club.

And Li Zheng is in this club.

"Su Xiaoyue castrated that Lu Zhong, hey, that's quite a big news!" The club president, Ying Tianlong, who was sitting next to Li Zheng, suddenly looked at him with a strange expression after reading the news.

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't do it." Li Zheng's expression was half-smiling, half-not: "Lu Zhong wanted to get Su Xiaoyue, that's his and his father's business. I just slightly incited him. I didn't expect Lu Zhong to be so ruthless, nor did I expect Su Xiaoyue to be so tough... tsk tsk, the world always develops in strange ways, doesn't it?"

"But, wasn't the Longmu Club incident also your doing?" Mo Xie, the third-ranked member, asked.

"I admit that. The number one member, Zhou Xian, and the number two member, Zhang Taihao, I believe neither the Esports Club nor the Changsheng Club can defeat them. So our strongest opponents should be them." Li Zheng said.

"Then why did you injure Zhou Xian but not Zhang Taihao?" Mo Xie, sitting on the side, looked at the newly released list of the top 32 teams with interest.

"Zhang Taihao has transferred schools multiple times over the years, staying at each school for no more than half a year, and is enthusiastic about duels. The schools Zhang Taihao transferred to usually have very excellent competitive talents. Moreover, I couldn't even find out his family background using hacking methods, so I was afraid of causing a backlash when I dealt with him."

Hearing Li Zheng's words, Mo Xie snorted: "So you chose the other two members of the Longmu Club as targets?"

Li Zheng nodded: "Exactly, as long as they can't gather three people, they automatically lose their qualification. More importantly, for a small team like the Longmu Club, losing their qualification for such a reason is very plausible, isn't it? Ha ha."

"'Winning without fighting'... it's a very useful trick." Mo Xie's tone was mocking. "I say, you two, didn't you forget something?" Ying Tianlong, standing next to them, looked very unhappy.

"Know, know, Mr. Ying, your brother hired us to help you win the middle school championship and make a big splash. Don't worry, Mr. Ying, we will make you a world-famous person." Li Zheng turned and smiled at Ying Tianlong.

Hearing this, Ying Tianlong temporarily withdrew his unfriendly gaze.

"Then get to work quickly." Ying Tianlong immediately gave the order. "Alright, I'll listen to you." Mo Xie didn't want to argue with Li Zheng and got up to leave: "As Li Zheng said, I was also hired. But I don't think Li Zheng's methods are very effective. His tricks will only drag you down. Be careful." After Mo Xie left, Li Zheng also left. However, his expression was indifferent: "As long as my goal is achieved... what does Ying Haitao's commission matter... hehe..."

...

"Next, we will announce the list of the top 32 teams, they are... Changsheng Club, Esports Club, Longmu Club, Tuantian Club..."

Zhou Xian, lying in bed, was watching the broadcast of the competition from yesterday.

It has been two days since Zhou Xian was hospitalized, and the Longmu Club has successfully entered the top 32.

Although so many things have happened in these two days, it seems that they have not affected the competition. Or rather, the school has conveniently hidden and covered up these messages.

First, there was the car accident involving Su Wenlong, followed by the news of a student suffering an unspeakable incident. The Zhongzhou Academy did not become peaceful with the arrival of summer vacation. Instead, Zhou Xian felt that the storm was getting closer.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

"Zhou Xian." Li Chuyu's expression was strange.

"Su Xiaoyue... how is she?"

Li Chuyu opened his mouth: "The police investigation says... Su Xiaoyue, due to her father's death, was so sad that she vented her anger by... uh... castrating Lu Zhong..."

Zhou Xian didn't expect Su Xiaoyue to be so fierce, directly making Lu Zhong unable to be a man.

"The doctor suggested that Xiaoyue receive psychological treatment, and we don't know what will happen next..."

Li Chuyu's expression was very bad.

"Ah, right, our team has entered the top 32, right?"

Zhou Xian changed the subject.

Li Chuyu nodded: "Yes, we have advanced. If there are no accidents, reaching the top 16 should not be a problem. But Su Xiaoyue cannot participate in the Esports Club's team, so the Esports Club is now missing a key player, and the chances of winning this year may be lower."

The topic seemed to return to Su Xiaoyue again, and this time, not only Zhou Xian felt awkward, but Li Chuyu also shook his head.

"Knock, knock, knock."

At this moment, the door was knocked on again.

Lai Yiming came in.

"Lai, congratulations, you've made it to the top 32." Zhou Xian praised.

But Lai Yiming looked at Zhou Xian and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I came to tell you about the top 32—our team no longer has the qualification." Lai Yiming's words turned Zhou Xian and Li Chuyu into statues.

"Lai, what happened?!"

Zhou Xian quickly asked.

"Tao Shan had a bad stomach, and he is currently being examined in the hospital, probably due to food poisoning; Xu Tianyun fought with someone last night and has been banned by the school from participating in any entertainment activities. Since our Longmu Club cannot gather the minimum of three members, we were directly eliminated after the top 32—otherwise, I should be on the field now, not talking to you."

"This..."

Zhou Xian and Li Chuyu looked at each other.

They had just seen the news that the Longmu Club had made it to the top 32, but the next moment, Zhou Xian suddenly received this news, which made him feel puzzled.

"How could this happen?"

"...It's because someone is using too many underhanded tactics." Lai Yiming's face was very gloomy.

These underhanded tactics really made Zhou Xian very angry.

In fact, if this were a professional competition, these tricks would have been discovered by the major clubs long ago. But the problem is that these underhanded tactics appeared in the middle school championship.

"What should we do?" Li Chuyu looked at Zhou Xian and then at Lai Yiming.

Li Chuyu registered as a manager, so he cannot participate in the competition. Zhou Xian, due to the car accident, missed the registration for the first day of the competition, and now he has nothing to do with the competition.

"For now, let me think for a while."

Zhou Xian felt his mind was a mess.

After Lai Yiming and Li Chuyu left, Zhou Xian sighed and then clenched his fist: "No matter what happens in the competition, I will definitely find out who the mastermind is..."

Lying in bed, Zhou Xian touched his head, as he had not logged into the game for several days due to the car accident... no, it should now be called "Longmu."

He was originally focused on the competition, but now he has nothing to do.

"Ah, if I could just enter the game, that would be great. Come to think of it, I didn't wear a helmet that day and somehow entered a strange interface..."

Suddenly, Zhou Xian remembered the strange scene he saw on July 4th.

Suddenly, Zhou Xian felt his head spinning and his consciousness becoming hazy.

When Zhou Xian came out of this strange sensation, he was surprised to find himself back in that strange space.

In front of him was the deep background of the Longmu, and in front of him was a login box with the words "Longmu" on it!
