With the arrangements from the officials, the 14 players went to the restaurant on the hotel’s third floor for a buffet lunch at noon. Naturally, Xiao han and Qin Mo chose to share a table with Zhu Qingyue. Luo Yuan greeted the two politely, but privately thought to himself: how would the Twin Stars react if they learned about the relationship between Qingyue and Chu Yan?
Ever since he learned that his junior brother and his master were together, he couldn’t stop thinking. Whenever he saw Zhu Qingyue, he would inadvertently recall the scene from the private room yesterday, a scene that was unsuitable for children.
Seeing that Luo Yuan was distracted, Qin Mo asked politely, “does captain Luo feel unwell?”
“No, it’s just… I didn’t sleep well last night.” Casually coming up with an excuse, Luo Yuan immediately escaped to get some food.
Coincidentally, martial brothers Su Cheng and Xie Changming, along with Lin Shuangcheng, also came over with a plate of food each, sitting down at the table.
“The carnival’s activities will officially start in the evening. What are your plans for the afternoon? Do you want to continue playing cards?” Lin Shuangcheng asked
“Shall we play ‘the legend of three kingdoms’ like the last time?” Qin Mo mused.
“The hotel has a chess room,” Lin Shuangcheng smiled. “We can play mahjong.”
Xiao Han was very interested in mahjong. “Sounds good. I don’t know how to play it, and can take the opportunity to learn.”
As a result, everyone made an appointment to play mahjong together in the afternoon. Fourteen people were divided between three tables. In order to avoid collusion between teammates, Lin Shuangcheng arranged everyone’s seats. Qin Mo sat at a table with Sang Jun, Nie Yuzhu, and Qiu Zongping, making up a table of tactical masters. On the other hand, Xiao Han sat with Lin Shuangcheng, Su Cheng, and Chu Jianxin. The final table had Li Junru and Zhou Xuewei, along with Xie Changming and Luo Yuan. Zhu Qingyue and Chen Jiang would watch.
As a result, Qin Mo’s luck was explosive, and he won five times in a row. “I want to flip the table,” Sang Jun complained. “What kind of luck is this?”
“Calm down,” Nie Yuzhu replied calmly. “Xiao Han just lost seven times consecutively at the next table.”
Xiao Han: “…”
The mixed-race player would like to complain, what were 2 5 8 and 3 6 9 combinations? The rules were really too complicated.
Since Qin Mo continued to win, no one wanted to continue playing with him. In the end, they shooed Qin Mo away, replacing him with Zhu Qingyue.

Playing mahjong wasn’t the same as meeting in a competition. Without the pressure, everyone had a good time, and managed to enjoy themselves. Because Qin Mo’s luck was very good, he took the initiative to invite everyone to dinner, before they rushed to the carnival’s location by car.

The carnival officially started at 8:00pm in the evening.
After the introductory act, the host for this event, Liang Ru, excitedly introduced the players. “Next, let’s invite the fourteen great gods who will be participating in the first-ever carnival of the Peerless Jianghu professional league on stage!”
As the fourteen people stepped onto the stage, the audience burst into applause.
As he was wearing a suit for this event, Ye Chao appeared even more stern than usual. “The fourteen most popular players as elected by the voting have arrived. Up next will be the long-awaited carnival games segment! The first game will begin momentarily—— Crossing the river on the same boat! Liang Ru, please tell everyone about the rules for this project.”
Liang Ru stood in the middle of the stage for her explanation. On the big holographic screen behind her appeared various scenes from the game.
The map was a vast expanse of water, with two large boats stationed on the shore, one red and one blue. Many small boats in the two colours darted quickly across the map, and in the middle of the lake was a large golden ship with many golden chests on board.
“For this game, the fourteen great gods will be divided into two teams of seven people,” Liang Ru announced. “The red and blue boats on the shore each have two floors, upper and lower. The birth point and resurrection points of both players will be located in the lower cabins. The aim of this competition is to snatch the treasure chests from the golden boat in the middle of the lake, and send it to the storeroom on the upper floor of your team’s boat. Victory will be determined by the number of treasure chests owned by each side. In the process of transporting the treasure chest, once the player carrying the chest is killed, the treasure chest will automatically drop, and someone else can pick it up.”
“Now, let’s divide everyone into groups. Will all the players please draw lots,” Ye Chao invited.
In fact, this was actually a treasure hunting game. Whoever grabbed more treasure chests would win.
Ye Chao walked over to Qin Mo, offering him the cardboard box. Qin Mo casually picked one at random, receiving a red placard.
Xiao Han, standing next to him, reached in and drew blue.
Everyone burst out laughing. The audience watching the live broadcast also made their presence known by spamming the bullet screen. “Twin Stars separation countdown!”
“These two abuse single dogs every day, this time, they can’t team up any more!”
Other players also expressed their delight for the results of this draw.
Glancing at each other, Xiao Han and Qin Mo smiled helplessly. Did everyone really want Twin Stars to separate so badly? Still, the truth of the matter was that they were already inseparable lovers.
Up next was Zhu Qingyue and Luo Yuan. The two auxiliaries were assigned to different teams, with Zhu Qingyue drawing blue while Luo Yuan drew red.
After drawing one after another, all fourteen players were finally divided into two teams.
“Will the red team please come over?” Ye Chao waved a hand.
“Blue team, please come over here!” Liang Ru nodded.
“Both sides will need to select a captain,” Ye Chao continued.
The players followed the two hosts to their respective camps, before discussing their options.
The players on the red team were Qin Mo, Chu Jianxin, Lin Shuangcheng, Luo Yuan, Xie Changming, Zhou Xuewei and Chen Jiang.
As for the position of captain, Lin Shuangcheng took the initiative to offer a proposal. “Let Qin Mo be the captain?”
“I’m not too sure of how to lead so many people,” Qin Mo immediately declined. “I think it’s better if you be the captain.”
“No need to be so modest,” Lin Shuangcheng grinned. “Since you won five times consecutively in mahjong, it’s obvious that your luck today is very good. Why not let us lie down and win?”
“That’s right,” Xie Changming immediately agreed. “With god Mo as our captain, I feel as though I have a halo of victory.”
“Don’t expect so much…” Qin Mo sighed.
“You don’t have to be so polite,” Chu Jianxin continued. “Everyone vote! Raise your hand if you agree that god Mo should be our captain.”
Six hands were immediately raised. Helpless, Qin Mo could only agree. “Alright then. I shall have to temporarily wrong everyone in listening to my commands later.”
Qin Mo began to analyse tactics. “Cross the river in the same boat is a treasure hunt game, the key lies in the number of treasure chests. Later, captain Chu will provide cover in the front row. Vice-captain Xie, Xuewei, and captain Luo will provide firepower and heals from the back row. As for the rest of us -myself, captain Lin, and captain Chen- we will be responsible for carrying the treasure chests back to the ship…”
***
On the blue team’s side, Xiao Han took the initiative to suggest. “How about captain Nie be the captain? Captain Nie is the oldest among us…”
“It should be you,” Nie Yuzhu replied calmly, “The opposing team will have elected Qin Mo captain, and you know him best.”
“Then, what about Junru?” Xiao Han continued to suggest. “Ladies first, and you are the only girl in our team.”
“God Han should be the captain.” Li Junru rejected. “When it comes to dealing with god Mo’s arrangement, you’re more suitable than me.”
“Captain Su? Captain Qiu? Sangsang?” Xiao Han continued to ask.
“There’s no need to refuse any longer,” Sang Jun smiled. “Everyone has agreed to let you and Qin Mo tear each other apart. The rest of us will just eat melons at the side.”
Xiao Han: “……”
You people have finally managed to see Qin Mo and I separate with great difficulty, are you also rejoicing at our misfortune?
Left without another option, Xiao Han could only agree. “Alright then. Everyone suggest some ideas; how can we win this game?”
“You’re the captain,” Sang Jun replied easily. “Naturally, we’ll listen to you.”
Xiao Han had to stop being polite. “We have no healer and no meat shield. While this lineup is unstable, we have much more offensive firepower than the other side. So, we will take the initiative to attack first, grabbing as many treasure chests as possible. In the later stages, we can play using special tactics.”
“What special tactic is god Han speaking of?” Su Cheng asked curiously.
Xiao Han smiled slightly. “You are good at teleportation—— go around to the opposite boat and steal their treasure chests.”
Everyone: “…”
God Han, you really aren’t polite when pitting your family’s Qin Mo!
Omg!!! 😍 Qin Mo and Xiao Han have to play against each other ?
This is going to be very exciting ahhhh~ I‘m looking forward to the match!
Hahaha Luo Yuan 🤣 The Twin Stars wouldn’t react much since they are also a pair xD And Qin Mo already knows about them! Though i wonder if Xiao Han knows…? Did Qin Mo tell Xiao Han about it or not hmm 🤔 Thank you for the chapter~~! ❤️❤️❤️
