The King's ReturnCh133 - Small Storm

translator: Oyen  editor: Ciel

Qin Mo really couldn’t believe what he had just seen. Didn’t Qingyue say that Chu Yan wasn’t willing to see him? It had only been a few days since both of them met. Why did they kiss each other? This progress was too unexpected, causing Qin Mo’s expression to be a little stiff. He didn’t know what reaction he ought to have. Seeing him standing by the window in a daze, Xiao Han walked over, asking doubtfully, “What are you looking at?” ltPqXQ

“… Nothing.” Quietly turning around, Qin Mo returned to his seat with coffee in hand. “Keep training.”

Zhu Qingyue entered the training room at 7:30pm in the evening. He was not scheduled to train today, but he seemed to be in a good mood. “The advertisement has been finished, so I came to practice with everyone.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qin Mo said nothing, but the image of Zhu Qingyue being kissed was constantly on his mind. He had no way to calm the shock that he felt.

Being kissed? What did it feel like? Was it comfortable? He had never experienced it, so he wouldn’t know… P8RI3p

Qin Mo’s thoughts were running wild, only for him to hear Xiao Han’s confused voice beside his ear. “Xiao Mo? Why aren’t you agreeing to my team invitation?”

“Oh, I didn’t see it.” Returning to his senses, Qin Mo immediately agreed to the invitation that had popped up on his screen.

Since Qingyue came to train, Qin Mo adjusted the battle lineup. He accompanied Xiao Han to bring Qingyue, He Beiguang, and Li Muran for the escort mode, trying out a defensive formation. As a blood cow, He Beiguang blocked the damage in the front row, while Qingyue assisted in the back row and Li Muran added blood to the escort, leaving Xiao Han and Qin Mo to join hands and kill the other side’s core players. This line-up was really good at defending.

Liu Hong took Pei Yu to play a pairs match, while the idle Shen He went to look up information on the internet.

Moments later, Shen He suddenly cried out. “Master, were you staying at Century Hotel when both you and god Han went to Beijing to receive the awards the other day?!”

Qin Mo was busy playing qualifying matches and didn’t think too much of it when he heard this, casually replying, “It seems so.”

Shen He panicked. “It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!”

He repeated the phrase several times in a row. Already used to his antics, Qin Mo replied calmly. “Don’t worry, wait till I finish this game before explaining.” OWMy7h

The arena team battle was fierce. Shen He didn’t dare to disturb him, so he could only stare at today’s popular topic on Weibo.

For the award ceremony, the officials hadn’t announced the hotels where the contestants would be staying, making it impossible for reporters in the esports circle to guess their living accomodations. However, this photo had obviously been taken secretly, and the shooting technique was very professional. The face in the photo was very clear, and the photographer seemed to have used an SLR camera with a long-range lens.

The name of the Weibo blogger was ‘Simple Gossip Chat’ with a cute dog’s head portrait, described as ‘Esport Circle Gossip Queen’. After sending this photo, the blogger also added a comment. “This time I went to Beijing, I got an unexpected surprise. Come and see the handsome guy [smile]”

This blogger was notorious in the esports circles. They took pleasure in exposing private matters of players from major teams, and creating all kinds of crazy topics to raise their own popularity on Weibo, much like paparazzi studios in the entertainment industry who specialised in secretly capturing the private lives of stars. People who sat by eating melons liked to gossip about players, and this blogger’s Weibo fans numbered more than those who were fans of the esports circle’s top god. vzqWBC

Of course, among the millions of fans, there were a lot of Dragon Song fans who could recognize the person in the photo at a glance.

Blond hair, black eyes, handsome mixed-race. In the whole esports circle, these three phrases used together could only refer to Xiao Han. To make matters worse, he hadn’t even been wearing sunglasses or a mask, making him too easy to identify.

The temperament of the man walking beside Xiao Han was not any inferior. He was tall and symmetrical, dressed in simple black slim trousers, a light gray sweater and a dark gray coat. The dark tone of the clothes made his face seem paler and handsome. His eyes were like typical peach blossom eyes, very beautiful, but the eyebrows above the eyes made his face seem a little less gentle, but more noble and arrogant.

In the photo, Xiao Han was smiling and whispering to his ear. The other person listened calmly and his expression was very cold. 2n0yKz

The comments section exploded instantly: “F*ck, am I blind? Is that blond hair and black eyed man our god Han?”

“Who is the man next to god Han? Does he look familiar? He’s not from the Dragon Song club, is he?”

“Qin Mo…?”

“He is indeed like Qin Mo! I must be hallucinating, someone please wake me up!”

“How could it be Qin Mo ?! I want to blind my own eyes!!!” CsRKx4

“Why is Qin Mo with Xiao Han? What does this mean? I can’t figure anything out anymore!”

“Twin Stars, oh my god! Why are the Twin Stars appearing together?”

The number of Weibo comments gradually rose from three digits to four digits, and the number of reposts also increased.

Seeing the desired effect had been reached, the blogger sent a follow-up Weibo with the photo: “It is said that this photo was taken on the day of the award ceremony of the first challenge arena of Peerless Jianghu. The officials invited all champions to their headquarters for a one-day trip. The contestants are staying in this hotel. Is it really a coincidence that the Twin Stars appeared? @PeerlessJianghuOfficialWeibo @MiracleProfessionalLeague @DragonSongEsportsClub @WindColourEsportsClub @XiaoHanOfficialFanSupportClub @QinMoOfficialFanSupportClub” 7KTshf

The number of reposts of this Weibo had exceeded 10,000 in an instant, causing an explosive sensation in the Miracle Professional League, which had been as calm as water for half a month!

Shen He had followed the Weibo accounts of many Miracle Alliance reporters before, back when he was bored, because he liked reading gossip when idle. Seeing that Weibo message being repeatedly reposted to the top page, Shen He was about to go crazy. Master and god Han were really too careless this time, going out without masks or sunglasses, and were photographed by paparazzi.

Most of the commentators were shocked, while many others sneered: “Yo, isn’t this the popular little prince from Wind Colour? Hasn’t he changed a lot in these three years?” 

“Why are you returning this time when you have disappeared for three years? Don’t tell me you want to hold Xiao Han’s thigh and continue to play?” 5i6y8E

“Qin Mo has been out of date for so long. He took a picture with Xiao Han to brush up his popularity as soon as he got back. It was really a clever way.” 

“Apart from the hype tied to Xiao Han, what else can he do? He doesn’t feel ashamed to stand with Xiao Han, haha!”

Shen He was about to vomit blood, and drove back the sarcastic comments one by one with his small account. “You are the one who hugged thighs! Qin Mo is also a great god, his level is not lower than Xiao Han, alright?! What tying hype, you d*mn, you can’t even compare to their fingers, you P!”

Shen He, this little brainless fan, was furious at the netizens. HoX6J

Qin Mo’s qualifying match had finally ended, and he turned around to asked Shen He, “What’s all this fuss about?”

Standing up, Shen He tugged Qin Mo over to the computer nervously, showing him the original Weibo post which had already exceeded 100,000 reposts. “Master, look, this blogger took a picture of you and god Han, deliberately posted it on Weibo and even mentioned so many official accounts! Maybe they’re borrowing your popularity to stir up the topic?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Seeing the Weibo message, Xiao Han’s eyes narrowed. His glare was almost sharp enough to kill. “It’s this group of rubbish paparazzi again! If I were a hacker, I would really want to hack his Weibo!”

Qin Mo kept calm, patting Xiao Han’s hand to comfort him. “It doesn’t matter, it’s just a picture. It can’t prove anything.” qFVdSI

Xiao Han frowned. “But this way, your return can’t be hidden any longer?”

“The matter of my return will be exposed sooner or later,” Qin Mo replied evenly. “Since this studio is targeting us, it is better to take back the initiative rather than cover it up.”

Hearing this, Zhu Qingyue felt frightened. Fortunately, the scene of him kissing his master was not captured, otherwise it would be terrible! It seemed that they must be careful when going out in the future.

Liu Hong couldn’t conceal her disgust. “This blogger is not alone, but is actually part of the no. 1 paparazzi studio in the esports circle. They have many reporters across the country taking photos of popular players from major clubs under the banner of exposing the truth. My sister and I have been photographed by them before. This time, they probably targeted god Han and accidentally took a picture of you. After brewing for a few days, they ended up causing such big trouble.” 5Cf3ea

“Before they expose that we are working together to build a team, it is better for me to take the initiative to make it public.” Qin Mo replied.

Xiao Han sighed. “Let me do it, lest you be scolded again.”

Seeing the sarcastic comments by the netizens, Xiao Han was angry to the point where he wanted to find those people and beat them until even their own mother couldn’t recognise them.

Turning around and sitting in front of the computer, he quickly logged on to Weibo. Xiao Han simply and swiftly sent a message: “@QinMo A warm welcome back to our family’s king, Xiao Mo! It is my greatest pleasure and honour to fight with you. Don’t pay any attention to the sarcastic people sitting in front of the computer, they are not as good as one strand of your hair. [ROFL] [ROFL]” phQ50N

Xiao Han’s fans: “………”

The emoticons were just too godly as a reply to the keyboard warriors’ sarcasm, causing them to plant their faces into the computer screen.

Xiao Han had always maintained a good relationship with Qin Mo. Everyone clearly remembered how sad he had been when Qin Mo retired. He had even sent out Weibo messages mentioning @Qin Mo: “I’ll wait for you to return”. Most of Xiao Han’s fans would not hold any malice towards Qin Mo. This Weibo shocked many people, because no one could believe it—— not only did Qin Mo return, but he even joined hands with god Han?!

It was obvious to everyone that Xiao Han was trying his best to protect Qin Mo by posting this Weibo. Touched, Qin Mo also logged into Weibo and reposted Xiao Han’s message, leaving only a simple sentence: “Let’s work hard together.” Kq734r

Qin Mo’s fans who were still alive: “………”

After disappearing for three years, Qin Mo, Wind Colour’s little prince, suddenly made an appearance and kidnapped Canglan’s little prince to form a team?

The news was like a thunderbolt in clear skies, blowing up the entire esports circle!

Qin Mo’s Weibo almost turned upside down: “Ah, ah ah, Momo, you’re back, oh my God, it’s my lifelong wish!” cOYxNb

“Are you really coming back? I shed tears of joy all of sudden…”

“Anything is possible in this world, we waited for you for three years, and you finally came back. Oh my God!”

“Momo love you, love you, love you!”

Although the number of Qin Mo fans today was not as large as that of Xiao Han’s, those who had not turned black after his retirement were definitely loyal fans. OBQj4X

Xiao Han contacted the Dragon Song official club’s Weibo, and took the opportunity to send an announcement——

Dragon Song esports club: “The former miracle league professional player @XiaoHan of Dragon Song club has been transferred to @PeerlessJianghu professional league, joining hands with @QinMo to set up the Mojue team. After Xiao Han’s departure, the captain of Canglan team was replaced by @ZhuoHang. I hope everyone will continue to support our players, and also wish Xiao Han and Qin Mo glory in a new game [smile].”

So the official blog was blown up again, and many people began to scold Liu Chuan for being shameless: “God Chuan, you unexpectedly dug Qin Mo, you are really shameless!” 

“God Chuan is the number one digger in the esports circle!” While lying down, Liu Chuan was still getting shot. npV1Gq

As soon as these words were posted by Dragon Song official, many esports great gods reposted it. These great gods in the esports circle all said that the cooperation of Han and Mo was too surprising. This news even reached many retired great gods in Miracle.

Cheng Wei: “@old_cat @LingXuefeng, hahahahaha! Xiao Han is not the captain of Canglan, Qin Mo is not the captain of the Wind Colour, the apprentices you brought have abandoned your teams! What do the two masters think?”

This was the great god of Huaxia Club, Cheng Wei, who loved to see and cause chaos. In fact, he had long since known the news of Han and Mo joining hands. After all, his apprentice Chu Jianxin participated in the official one-day tour. After Chu Jianxin learned that Xiao Han and Qin Mo joined hands to create the Mojue team, he told Cheng Wei about it. For Cheng Wei to hold back such big news for the past two days, not daring to be the first one to reveal the big secret, he was about to suffocate to death.

Now that Dragon Song had officially admitted that Han and Mo had teamed up, however, he could finally muster up the courage to repost it, poking a certain Cat God and Ling Xuefeng along the way. NSFlRq

In order to avoid being disturbed, after their retirement, Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng had blocked the mention(@) from the unknown netizens, so they didn’t know that the paparazzi made such a big scene on Weibo.

However, Xiao Han sent the Weibo first and Qin Mo reposted it. Dragon Song’s official Weibo publicly admitted followed by Cheng Wei mentioning them…

This series of news were all refreshed on the front page, and it was difficult for both of them to pretend not to see them.

Li Cangyu was lying in bed playing with his mobile phone. When he saw the news pop up on the front page, he smiled. “Xiao Wei can really fan the flames and ask the two masters what they think of it… I don’t have any opinion. Xiao Han told me about it a long time ago, but as the master of Qin Mo… Xuefeng, what do you think?” hVozt

Ling Xuefeng’s expression was incomparably cold. He turned on his mobile phone and glanced at Weibo, saying lightly. “What can I think? Glad that the apprentice I taught went to the Dragon Song club?”

Li Cangyu laughed unceremoniously. “So, do you want to go back and clean up Qin Xiaomo?”

Ling Xuefeng replied coldly. “It depends on whether he has this master in his heart.”

Li Cangyu conveniently reposted Cheng Wei’s Weibo with a smiling emoticon: “Master is very pleased that the apprentice has grown up and has his own ideas. He can kidnap other people’s apprentice [kind laugh]” IHj4J9

Ling Xuefeng reposted his Weibo with only two words: “Haha.”

Qin Mo closed the web page after posting Weibo, but Shen He suddenly exclaimed. “Ah, ah, ah, master! Look, my grandmaster also reposted it!”

Grandmaster? Qin Mo didn’t respond to who Shen He was talking about until he looked at the homepage of Weibo opened by Shen He—— xD7IeY

Ling Xuefeng: “Haha.”

Qin Mo’s scalp suddenly felt numb, and he could even imagine the sneering expression on the other side of the computer.

Master “haha”ed him? Did he want to clean him up?

Qin Mo, who had always been calm, could not help showing a trace of panic on his face. Seeing his nervous face, Xiao Han immediately put his arms around his shoulder and reassured him. “Don’t be afraid. If your master makes a big move, I’ll block it in front.” gznsxE

Qin Mo smiled bitterly. If he really opened a big move– I’m afraid even you can’t stop it…

The most terrible thing in the league was Ling Xuefeng’s anger. Qin Mo suddenly remembered the fear of being lectured by his master.

Uh, was it too late for him to delete Weibo?

    i appreciate all of xiao han’s fans who still recognized qin mo, and shoutout to “our family’s qin mo” he posted. no one dares to correct him haha

    most importantly, qin mo’s diehard fans from years ago finally get their time to shine. they’re the highest quality fans in the gaming circle and deserve to see their prince recover from a near-fatal injury to play once again at a level that others can only dream for aka “the Ink Mark style longsword flow.”

    also ling xuefeng is so amazing, being able to strike fear into the heart of qin mo with just one “haha.”

    i hope the insider gossip qq chat that ragged on qin mo for going undercover will pick up on xiao han’s “our family’s qin mo” and 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

    • Agree, just splash their camera with water!! So angry 😡

      Lol, the fans know about Xiao Han’s Chinese, so yeah, they don’t bother to correct it, that’s really their Xiao Han, with awkward Chinese 🤣

      Finally, Qin Mo’s true fans can shine again, they already loyal for three years waiting for their prince to come back~

      And that haha, lol.. Ling Xuefeng still amazing although he is not the ML in this book 🤣

      I also hope about that 👀 More gossips~

  6. Cat God’s post was so funny.

    Ling Xuefeng’s cold “haha” is indeed scary.

    Poor Qin Mo.

  7. The LingCat appeared!!!! I am soooo happy 😭😭😭😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤ Cheng Wei though… be careful that Xiao Han won’t kill your apprentice because of anger towards you hahahahahaha

  8. hahahaha cheng wei, you’re already retired, you still want to join in on the chaos?? and liu chuan was shot while lying down. i can imagine his wronged expression “it’s not me who dug him. it’s xiao han” LMAO but seriously, i want qin mo to let his master know about the reason he left. i think xuefeng deserved some explanation

  9. Haha. Im glad to see the old couple mentioned in this novel. I hope they can meet soon with each other
