Bai Zhuo knew about the scattered flowers and sparse shadows... No, everyone who follows the professional circle of "Yu Ling" knows about it, right?

——The captain and vice-captain of the Midori team, a "famous" gay couple in the "Yuling" professional circle.

They are going to join Langmie? !

There are seven people in a team, three couples, six gays, and one single guy... and he's straight!

For a moment, Bai Zhuo didn't know where to start complaining.

He felt that he shouldn't be in this team, and that this team shouldn't be called "Langmie" but "Gay"...

Wow, it’s so frustrating just thinking about it. Believe it or not, he acted like a tough guy crying on the spot?

Mu He was really angry and wanted to laugh at the same time. He wanted to comfort Bai Zhuo, but Feng Xiyan poured cold water on him...

He seriously suspected that Feng Xiyan's sharp tongue and tendency to kick someone when they're down were all innate from the womb.

Thinking back carefully, when this person was still laughing and frivolous, he especially liked to pour cold water on others.

Bai Zhuo looked at Mu He gloomily, who was struggling to hold back his laughter. He didn't expect him to continue comforting him, so he changed the subject: "We've all reached level 40. After the competition is over, let's go and finish the quests in the City of Right and Wrong."

Mu He was about to say "OK", but before he could open his mouth, he heard Yuan Yitong burst into laughter.

Langmie and the other three silently turned to look at Yuan Yitong, who was lying on the table with a smile on his face. "No, I just thought... What if we all came out publicly like Luanhua and Shuying? What would Xiaobai do? I bet there would be a guy who would confess his love to him..."

Understanding what he meant, Fan Shu couldn't help but laugh. Then, perhaps feeling a little sorry for Bai Zhuo, he raised his hands to cover his eyes: "...Don't be like this."

Bai Zhuo: “…”

Shit! I can't stay on this team anymore!

After a few more random chats, the 30-second countdown finally appeared in front of them - the third round of auditions was about to begin!

Bai Zhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and decided to find a girlfriend within a year, in case Yuan Yitong's words came true and everyone thought he was gay too.

Before the 30-second countdown ended, Mu He said, "It's the last round, hold on!"

The auditions for the challenge competition have always been three rounds, and they are almost the same every time.

"OK." Yuan Yitong responded, raised his hand and stretched, "Quick victory, eat early!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five people were teleported to the ring.

System: [The third round of auditions for the Challenge Tournament has officially begun! The two opponents in this match: Langmie vs. Budongrushan!]

When Mu He heard that it was not the hymn of death, his psychological pressure was instantly reduced by half.

But this team name...

Mu He took a closer look at the occupations of the five people opposite him and found them quite interesting.

——The lineup of two shield guards, two paladins and a pharmacist is really hard to beat.

To put it simply, the shield guard is a tank, with high health, high defense, and a taunt skill. He is a front-line profession responsible for pulling monsters and taking damage.

The Paladin is the only class in Yuling that can fight while mounted. While mounted, their health doubles and their defense increases, so they can also be used as tanks. However, this class is still primarily combat-focused, with few taunting or control skills.

Pharmacist, this profession is between wizard and priest, it has healing and damage, but it is basically a supporting profession.

In short, Mu He and his team encountered an extremely tough lineup consisting of four tanks and one healer.

Four tanks are already difficult to fight, and there is also a pharmacist responsible for adding blood.

Wow, no wonder it’s named “As Immovable as a Mountain”.

However, the opponent's level is not high. Only one Paladin has reached level 40, the pharmacist is level 38, and the others are all level 39.

"Come, let's plan the tactics." Mu He said.

"Huh? There's a strategy in this game?" Yuan Yitong raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Why? Is it that hard to play?"

"That's not the case." Mu He shrugged. "They have high health and defense, but their damage is also low. We can't hit them, and they can't hit us. So, losing is impossible, but aren't you in a hurry to eat? If we want to win quickly, of course we need tactics."

The corners of Yuan Yitong's lips twitched violently, and he didn't want to say anything about his pretense.

Mu He didn't care and arranged his tactics on his own: "Their lineup will prioritize killing our back row, so we will use their strategy against them - I will deliberately expose a flaw to let the Paladin sprint, and the Cylinder and the Priest will stand together. When the time is right, I will let them lose control, with the Cylinder on the left and the Priest on the right. We will control them within our attack range and make a quick decision."

Again... the priest.

Feng Xiyan couldn't help it. He didn't want to stir up trouble at this moment, but he felt it was necessary to ask, so he pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "It seems that the only time you call it a cylinder is when you don't call it a profession?"

Perhaps because Feng Xiyan's tone was too casual, Mu He didn't take it seriously and casually responded, "Just call me whatever comes to your mind. There really weren't any wizards in the team before, so I'm not used to calling you that."

So that's how it is.

Feng Xiyan suddenly realized, and then found it a little funny - that's it?

He had endured for so long before finally mustering up the courage to ask this question, and it turned out to be just like this...

Mu He continued to arrange tactics: "Mage, stand away, hunter, protect."

Fan Shu and Bai Zhuo agreed.

So, when the "Mount as a Mountain" team attacked, Mu He deliberately chose a vulnerable position.

The two "unmovable as a mountain" paladins saw a flaw and decisively sprinted towards Langmie's back row. Their mounts accelerated, passed Mu He, and rushed towards Yuan Yitong and Feng Xiyan behind him, trying to knock them away.

However, Yuan Yitong and Feng Xiyan seemed to have anticipated this. They dodged to the sides respectively, and when the Paladin's "sprint" ended, they counterattacked with a control move!

The Paladin's "Sprint" can break the control, but in order to attack the back row of Wolf Mine, they used this skill early, so now they can only stand there and be captured.

As soon as the two were controlled, Mu He and Yuan Yitong released their buffs. Immediately afterwards, all the members of Langmie released their skills, leaving the two paladins without any chance to fight back.

"Xiaobai, release the dog!" Mu He suddenly shouted.

Bai Zhuo received the order and commanded his "Soul-Eating Hound" to rush towards the shield guard in front of Mu He.

At the moment when the vicious dog pounced, Mu He chopped one of the shield guards away with a moon-wheel slash. The vicious dog pounced forward and knocked the shield guard to the ground, biting him wildly.

Then Mu He challenged another shield guard in a one-on-one duel, and a familiar set of skill combos allowed him to experience the pleasure of floating in the air (no).

The "unmovable" pharmacist threw various medicine bottles, trying to restore his teammates' status, but to no avail.

He was standing too far away from his teammates, and with Mu He blocking his way, he didn't dare to go over him to save the Paladin.

In the end, the "immovable as a mountain" Paladin was the first to die, and the entire Wolf Destruction Team counterattacked, surrounding their only two remaining shield guards and one pharmacist.

Someone on the viewing platform asked, "Is it true that the side that attacks first is more likely to be put on the defensive?"

"No," someone quickly replied, "it depends on whether your first attack hits the target. The immovable Paladin missed with his first attack, which is why Langmie took control. If those two Paladins had been able to hit Langmie's back row, the situation would definitely be different now."

"Emm... why do I feel like this is a trap?" someone nearby said, "Don't you think Langmie's backline dodged too quickly? It's like they predicted it. This really isn't a trap set in advance, waiting for the immovable Paladin to fall into it?"

"this……"

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but get goosebumps.

The man continued his analysis, "The immovable Paladin thought he had the upper hand, but unexpectedly, he'd walked right into a trap. Now that I think about it, the swordsman named Mu He's initial positioning was quite intriguing, creating the illusion that he had a chance."

The man was talking to himself, not noticing that more and more people were gathering around to listen to his analysis.

They took note of this person's information - ID: Langyanqi, level 39 Elf Thief, guild: Langmie.

"Brother, are you from their guild? Do you know them?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, no." Lang Yanqi shrugged, "But I'd really like to meet him."

As they were talking, the Wolf Destruction Team successfully killed the last player of "Unmovable as a Mountain" and won the third round of auditions.

As the post-war data was released, a system announcement resounded throughout the new area of "Yu Ling".

System Announcement: [Congratulations to the Langmie Team for emerging victorious from the qualifiers and successfully advancing to the Challenge Round!]

"It's over, it's over!"

Even though he only won the auditions, Mu He felt relieved: "I'm getting hungry while playing..."

Just as he finished speaking, another system announcement came: [Congratulations to the Anthem team for emerging victorious from the auditions and successfully advancing to the Challenge Round!]

Mu He was surprised for a moment - he didn't expect that Death Hymn would win so quickly.

"Never mind, let's log off and eat first. The list of teams advancing to the challenge tournament should be out this afternoon." As soon as Mu He finished speaking, the five of them were teleported back to the game world by the system.

However, before he could log off, another system announcement came.

[Congratulations to the Honghuang team for emerging from the auditions and successfully advancing to the challenge round! ]

Primordial?!

When he heard the name of the team, Mu He looked at Feng Xiyan first and found that Feng Xiyan was also looking at him.

Honghuang Team - it was this team that defeated Youxiao Qingkuang and Murong Hezai's Qingkuang Team in the last challenge tournament.

Obviously, this is a team from an old district.

It seems that this system announcement was broadcast by both the new and old districts.

Yuan Yitong was about to log off, but when he saw Mu He and Feng Xiyan both looking bitter and resentful, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "What are you doing? Someone who doesn't know would think we lost if they saw your expressions."

Mu He coughed and looked at him: "Aren't you hungry? Why don't you get off?"

"I'm logging off now." Yuan Yitong didn't bother to care about him. "Are you still leveling up in the afternoon?"

Mu He: "It depends on my mood."

Yuan Yitong: "That's fine."

Yuan Yitong said this as he called out the system and disconnected.

Fan Shu and Bai Zhuo also logged off.

Feng Xiyan looked at the expression on Mu He's face and asked tentatively: "Want to go out for lunch together? I'll drive over to pick you up."

"No need." Mu He didn't want to go out today, "I can do it myself."

Feng Xiyan was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, he said this: "Would you mind ordering another bowl of noodles?"

Mu He was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and couldn't help laughing: "Okay~"

So, after Mu He logged off, he happily ordered two bowls of noodles, fried two poached eggs, and on a whim, grilled a few more pork chops.

Just at this moment, Feng Xiyan drove over and knocked on his door.

If not, Mu He would have wanted to cook some more vegetables...

The two of them sat in the living room and ate noodles while watching TV.

In fact, Feng Xiyan didn’t have the habit of watching TV while eating, but since Mu He wanted to watch it, he let him do it.

After finishing the noodles, Mu He said, "Will you wash the dishes?"

Of course Feng Xiyan couldn't refuse, but... "Okay, but I don't know how. You teach me."

"You're not going to wash dishes in your life, are you? You've never washed dishes in your life?" Mu He was shocked.

Feng Xiyan said "hmm" lightly and didn't think it was anything strange.

Mu He: "So what do you usually eat at home?"

Feng Xiyan: "There is a chef."

Mu He: "Does he wash the dishes too?"

Feng Xiyan: "There is a nanny."

Okay. Mu He had nothing to say.

He figured his family wasn't bad, so why didn't he enjoy such good treatment...

But it was his own fault. After graduation, he ran away from home to play competitive sports. After being caught and educated, his parents stopped caring about him and let him live alone outside to fend for himself.

Then, after living alone for a while, he, who originally knew nothing, became able to do everything.

Reality teaches you how to be a good person orz

"Forget it, I'll wash it." Mu He was really afraid that Feng Xiyan would knock his bowl.

However, he took the bowl to the kitchen, and Feng Xiyan followed him to the kitchen.

He was washing dishes while Feng Xiyan was watching beside him.

Mu He was halfway through washing when he turned his head to look at him. Seeing that he was looking at the bowl instead of him, he felt inexplicably unhappy.

He wanted to keep it to himself, but when he thought about his past experiences of keeping it to himself, he decided to speak out.

But after he really opened his mouth, he remembered the time when he had quarreled with Feng Xiyan and said something without thinking, so he closed his mouth silently.

In the end, he chose a compromise and said in an almost coquettish tone: "Why don't you look at me?"

When Feng Xiyan heard his voice, which was obviously different from usual, she got goosebumps all over her body and looked at him subconsciously.

Mu He quickly turned his gaze back to the bowl, feeling a little embarrassed.

What is he doing?! What is he doing?!

However, the next second, when he thought Feng Xiyan would despise him, Feng Xiyan hugged his waist affectionately and put his head on his shoulder: "I'm afraid that after watching you, I won't be able to learn to wash dishes."

The slightly low and magnetic voice echoed in Mu He's ears, making his ears numb and he felt an electric current running through his ears and all over his body.

His hand slipped and the bowl slid back into the sink. Fortunately, it only made a "bang" sound and did not break.

Mu He picked up the bowl in a hurry and quickened the pace of washing it.

But the warmth he felt on his back kept distracting him.

He didn't know how he washed the dishes.

As soon as she finished washing, she broke free from Feng Xiyan's arms, turned around, hugged him, and kissed him on the lips!

Feng Xiyan was caught off guard by his kiss and didn't react for a moment. After a while, she responded to him passively. @无限好文，全在Jinjiang文城

This was their first deep kiss in real life. With the "practice" in the game, the kiss became unusually long and intense, so much so that when they stopped, their breathing became a little unstable.

After Mu He finished kissing, he felt that his body was a little weak, so he simply relaxed and hung on Feng Xiyan, and said proudly in his ear: "I kissed you back!"

Feng Xiyan couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Mu He was sometimes too cute: "Yeah, awesome."

Mu He: "...Your praise is so insincere."

"Then how should I praise you, huh?" Feng Xiyan touched Mu He's head lovingly.

Mu He felt a tremor in his body, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "You'd better stop praising me... Well, don't move, let me hold you for a while."

He told Feng Xiyan not to move, and Feng Xiyan really didn't move. He put down the hand that was touching his head and instead hugged his waist.

Mu He hugged Feng Xiyan, took a deep breath of his scent, and felt a little dizzy.

It took him a long time to recover from the fragrance. He pushed Feng Xiyan away and coughed awkwardly: "Well...drink some water? I'll go get you a glass of water."

"Okay." Feng Xiyan responded, watched him leave the kitchen, and returned to the living room to sit down.

He seemed to... gradually figure out the right way to get along with Mu He.

I used to think it was difficult, but now I think it’s actually quite easy - Luanhua is right, just give the other person what he wants.

What Mu He wanted was his attention and care, so he just had to pamper him and that was it - let him feel his love.

@Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City

So, as soon as Mu He returned to the hall and sat down next to Feng Xiyan, Feng Xiyan put her arm around his waist again and gave him a kiss on the face.

As expected, Mu He leaned obediently in his arms, with a satisfied smile on his face.

But Mu He still maintained his last bit of rationality. He remembered the team name he heard before quitting the game and asked hesitantly, "Honghuang...hasn't they already made it into the professional circle? Why are they still participating in the challenge tournament?"

"Regarding this matter, I actually asked Fang Cheng to investigate it later..." Feng Xiyan paused, unsure whether he should tell Mu He, but he felt that Mu He had the right to know, so he finally bit the bullet and said, "Why was the first thing Tianjie Wudao did after entering Qingkuang was to replace his teammates? I always thought he thought our teammates were too weak. You probably think so too?"

"Isn't it?" Mu He opened his eyes wide and suddenly realized something.

Feng Xiyan continued, "Before our match with Honghuang, someone from Honghuang bribed our people..."

"Damn!" Mu He straightened up from Feng Xiyan's arms. He never expected there was such an inside story. "No wonder no one except you listens to my orders. I thought..."

He actually thought his prestige was so low that he should quit the industry...

"I only found out later that they deliberately lost the game and deliberately antagonized you, putting all the blame on you to clear themselves of suspicion." Feng Xiyan frowned. "I asked Fang Cheng to investigate this line, to find out who bribed our teammates and who was bribed. But Honghuang probably heard the news and didn't want to get involved in any trouble, so he suddenly withdrew from the professional circle. And over on Qingkuang's side, Tianjie Wudao must have known something, so he replaced his teammates on a large scale. And those replaced teammates seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and we can't contact them at all."

Mu He fell silent, because he suddenly realized - if this was true, if he had not impulsively quit the circle, but discovered the problem in time and investigated it...

If he quits the entertainment industry, wouldn't that just make him the one who took the blame?!

As if knowing what he was thinking, Feng Xiyan hugged him again and sighed: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. If I had discovered the problem in time, instead of..."

"You can't find a ghost!" Mu He interrupted him rudely.

Feng Xiyan's body froze, thinking Mu He was about to explode again. However, after Mu He finished speaking, he began to analyze the situation to himself: "Those people must have been dissatisfied with me for a long time. In their eyes, priests are just a profession that fishes in troubled waters, but I happen to be recognized by so many people. I guess they wanted to leave Qingkuang long before the challenge started, and they wanted to make some money before leaving... Haha."

This was probably the first time that Mu He regretted his sudden withdrawal from the entertainment industry. However, if he had to do it all over again, he would probably still withdraw... Besides, he had already withdrawn and time could not be reversed. He could not change the past and could only accept it.

——What’s important is the future.

"It's actually not that bad." Thinking this, he spoke in a relaxed tone, "Look at our team now! It's a thousand, ten thousand times better than it was back then!"

Feng Xiyan said "hmm": "Indeed."

"As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise. Without my retirement back then, there would be no Langmie today." Mu He smiled, "Thinking about it this way, my retirement was worth it~"

Feng Xiyan smiled helplessly, raised one hand, and gently pinched Mu He's face: "Although it wasted half a year."

Mu He: "Emmm...I found that you really like finishing off the enemy."

Feng Xiyan: "..."

"But forget it." Mu Hefu said, "I've been numbed by your provocation..." He paused, "So, the reason you wanted to find me in the first place was to tell me this?"

"Yeah." Feng Xiyan admitted, "It's true that I wanted to apologize. I wanted to tell you about this after I apologized, but..." He shrugged, "You also know what happened later."

Mu He turned around and buried his head in Feng Xiyan's chest: "Well, I was wrong..."

Feng Xiyan touched his back with amusement: "You're not wrong, I was the one who hurt you first...Okay, let's not talk about this, anyway, just play well in the next game and it will be over."

"Yeah." Mu He responded, looked up and looked at Feng Xiyan, and suddenly felt very fortunate - fortunately... fortunately you have enough patience to adapt to my willfulness and unreasonableness.

He blamed all the harm inflicted on him by the entire team on Feng Xiyan alone and refused to listen to his explanation at all. Even after being with him, he still used various trivial matters to vent his accumulated emotions.

If Feng Xiyan didn't love him enough, he might have taken her away long ago...

However, it was not a complete loss - by hurting each other, they accelerated their understanding of each other and filled the gap of the past six months.

If Mu He hadn't been unreasonable, Feng Xiyan wouldn't have known how much he cared about her attention.

Without Feng Xiyan's doubts, Mu He would not know how much he loved her and how afraid he was of losing her. Feng Xiyan would not know how loyal Mu He was to love.

They stabbed each other's swords with their own blood, allowing their souls to get closer and merge.

"Well, you're right. Play the game well and don't worry about anything else." Mu He said, smiling at Feng Xiyan, "Win the challenge!"
