Chapter 403  : Xiao Qiao Shows Her Stuff (3)

Auntie Li paused with surprise at this question and replied immediately, “They get along well.”

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank and Auntie Li suddenly smiled. “Miss Song gets along with everyone. She’s kind-hearted and polite to everyone. She’s very gentle and speaks slowly too. Whenever someone is in trouble, she tries to help so everyone is fond of her.”

Auntie Li was a shrewd person and the moment Qiao Lian had asked the question, she had understood the intentions behind.

She was careful to protect Song Yuanxi.

When Qiao Lian first moved in with the Shen Family, she didn’t have a good relationship with Shen Liangchuan. Hence Auntie Li had never been especially protective about her. She took orders from Shen Liangchuan only and had always kept a professional distance with Qiao Lian. However when it came to Song Yuanxi, she made these comments.

Qiao Lian could tell from her words that Song Yuanxi was really popular with everyone in the household.

Qiao Lian cast her gaze downward. That brief thought that had almost surfaced before had now completely escaped.

–

It was the weekend. Since she didn’t have to work, Qiao Lian made plans to check out how things were going at the club.

Although Zombie Leader and the team didn’t trust or respect her, as their trainer it still was her duty to keep track of how they got along and progressed as a team.

Except that… when Qiao Lian arrived at the club, she found that Zombie Leader, Su Penghao, was not at the villa.

Purple Fairy had already tried once to buy the villa. In the end, Shen Liangchuan had resolved this by intercepting the deal and agreeing on the final selling price with the villa owner. Firstly, Shen Liangchuan was a popular public figure and the owner liked him; and secondly, they had known each other a long time. Hence in the end, the villa was sold to Shen Liangchuan.

Thus the team avoided the trouble of having to move.

The competition was starting in a few days, so they should all be practicing hard. But where had Su Penghao gone?

Qiao Lian was puzzling over this when The Godfather informed her, “Coach, Zombie Leader has been invited for tea by Purple Fairy.”

Qiao Lian frowned on hearing this. “When did this happen?”

It was almost noon. Were they intending to have lunch together as well?

Besides, why was Purple Fairy looking for Su Penghao? Qiao Lian didn’t have to think twice for the answer.

She was poaching.

Zombie Leader’s techniques were renowned in the world of gaming.

Qiao Lian was feeling rather frustrated.

Shouldn’t a little fairness and alot of hard training be the key elements to winning an eSports competition?

Why did people have to resort to underhanded means?

The Godfather scratched his nose. “He went out at eight in the morning and hasn’t been back since.”

He took a step forward. “Coach, do you think Purple Fairy is out to take him to her team?”

Everyone turned simultaneously to look at Qiao Lian.

Zombie Leader was the core of the team. If he were to leave them, taking part in the eSports competition would now be pointless.

Qiao Lian was quiet for a moment as she pursed her lip. “We’ll just let it be. If he can be poached so easily, then it’s just a matter of time until it happens. If he’s loyal, then it doesn’t matter how many meals they have together, he’ll still train with us.”

Although everyone nodded in agreement with her words, they still looked somewhat worried.

Qiao Lian sighed. At this point, the door was pushed open and Su Penghao walked into the room.

Everyone turned at once to look at him.

Su Penghao raised an eyebrow. “Why are all of you looking at me like that?”

Qiao Lian couldn’t resist the urge to speak up, “Zombie Leader, it’s best that you keep a distance from Purple Fairy. You—”

Su Penghao looked terribly displeased to hear this. “What’s wrong with me meeting Xiao Qiao?”
