Huahai from the Phoenix Crown Team, wielding a fruit knife, rushed into the Sovereign Dominion lounge in a suicide-like manner.
" Brother Hai, what are you up to?"
Su Hang's face darkened. "When did you confess your feelings to me?"
"Forehead?"
Huahai was utterly embarrassed, especially when she saw Qingrong also in the same suicide pose. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "You were supposed to hold a knife to Exalted Emperor's neck, what's with holding it to your own?"
"Brother Exalted Emperor, let me explain—no, let me clarify. I was afraid you'd clash with Qingrong, so I used the exaggerated threat of suicide to attract your attention."
Su Hang's lips twitched. "So? When did you confess to me?"
"Ahem." Huahai put down the knife, her cheeks flushed, and said, "This was something I made up in a moment of inspiration, please don't mind it."
"Just now, Mother Huang and Exalted Emperor resolved their differences and reconciled, a happy ending for everyone." Qingrong slowly put down her knife, a look of shame on her face. "I'm so sorry, Haizi, for making you worry."
"I'm glad you're alright." Huahai waved his hand, a huge weight lifted from his heart. He said he was worried about Qingrong clashing with Exalted Emperor, but actually he was worried that Qingrong would get beaten up by one side.
After all, Exalted Emperor's side job is as a fitness instructor, so beating up Qingrong, who has skinny arms and legs, is no different from beating up a chick.
"It's truly a stroke of luck Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes our team to have recruited such a loyal and devoted retired player like you." Huyan Lan was moved by the prospect of acquiring such talent. " Xiao Xue?"
"I'm here, Mother Huang," Qingrong said respectfully.
Huyan Lan's eyes were full of approval. "Promote Huahai to be a candidate for Phoenix Crown team leader, shorten the probationary period, and after 30 days, he will immediately enter the core management of Phoenix Crown and enjoy special team leader benefits."
"Huh?" Huahai was dumbfounded. As a member of the Phoenix Crown Elite, he would have to work his butt off for at least a year to enter the management level. Now, he had been promoted in one step and not only became a candidate for team leader, but also enjoyed the benefits of a team leader!
What does this mean?
That's equivalent to having a stable salary of one million a year!
"Holy crap!"
Huahai's eyes widened. "You're really Phoenix?"
"In real life, I won't mind if you call me Phoenix," Huyan Lan said meaningfully, "But in the team, what should you call me?"
Huahai, confused, exclaimed, " Phoenix!"
Qingrong desperately tried to remind him with her eyes, " Haizi, you're about to become a senior executive in Phoenix Crown's management team, it's time to change your tune."
"Oh, ah."
Huahai suddenly realized, her face instantly turning red with embarrassment, too ashamed to speak. But the thought of earning a million-dollar annual salary made her feel no shame at all; after all, making money is nothing to be ashamed of.
"Phoenix... Mother Huang."
Huyan Lan smiled and said, "Good child."
The expressions on everyone's faces were priceless, ranging from surprise and envy to utter astonishment at the complete shattering of their worldviews.
Su Hang, feeling physically uncomfortable, asked, "Is there such sexual repression within your Phoenix Crown organization?"
"Mom is a term of respect," Qingrong retorted, puffing out her chest. "Because we were raised by the Phoenix in our Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes and wedding gown, we call the Phoenix ' Mother Huang' (凰妈), which is perfectly acceptable."
"You can also ask your teammates to call you 'Dad'."
Su Hang got goosebumps all over. "I don't have that kind of fetish. In short, such an absurd and morally bankrupt thing would never happen at Sovereign Dominion."
Hu Xiao Yin Long, and others expressed their strong agreement.
Huahai asked curiously, " Mother Huang, are you planning to continue hiding your identity during the competition, or will you, like Mountain Lord, use the stage of the Clash of Kings to reveal your identity?"
Su Hang couldn't help but ask, "Wait, Brother Hai, how could you accept the premise that he's her child in zero seconds?"
"Oh, Brother Exalted Emperor, don't worry about the details." Huahai completely lost her sense of shame. "As the saying goes, 'whoever feeds me is my mother.' As long as Boss Phoenix gives me money, what's wrong with calling her 'Mom'?"
" Su Hang, are you just being sour because you can't have the grapes?" Huyan Lan said with ill intent, her arms crossed.
Su Hang rolled his eyes. "What do you mean I'm jealous?"
" Deputy Hu has already revealed his identity, it would be really unreasonable for me not to," Huyan Lan, stretching her back. "However, the way Mountain Lord revealed his identity by switching accounts is too low-class and doesn't suit my style."
Hu Xiao's face darkened. "Damn it! I had to change my number and reveal my identity to reunite with my son and brother."
Qingrong asked curiously, " Mother Huang, how do you plan to confess?"
"At the very least, it should be more formal and solemn." Huyan Lan stroked her smooth chin, pondered for a moment, and then beckoned to Qingrong.
Qingrong recalls, head bowed, listening attentively.
"You do this, and that..."
Qingrong's expression was serious, and he nodded from time to time. "Understood. I'll inform them to start preparations immediately."
Watching Qingrong and Huahai's departing figures.
Jiang Sui asked suspiciously, " Sister Lan, how are you going to reveal Phoenix's identity to the public?"
Huyan Lan patted Jiang Sui's head and said mysteriously, "You'll find out when your sister goes on stage for the match later."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't get your hopes up," Su Hang said, glancing at him. "I never agreed to let you play."
Everyone was stunned.
Jiang Sui got anxious, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why won't you let Sister Lan play in the match?"
Su Hang calmly replied, "Now that Huyan Lan has recognized the woman in the phoenix coronet and Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes, the Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes will inevitably be suspected of throwing the match. To avoid suspicion, we won't let her participate in the competition."
Jiang Sui hurriedly said, " Sister Lan can follow Uncle Hu's example and, as the team leader, order the team members not to go easy on the team."
Su Hang's eyes were sharp as he said with certainty, "If it were yesterday, she would definitely have done it, but today, not only will she not do it, she will even tacitly allow the Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes gown to go easy on Sovereign Dominion win the final victory!"
"Huh?" Jiang Sui was stunned.
"As expected of my best friend." Huyan Lan was slightly surprised. "You know me very well."
Su Hang sneered twice, thinking to himself, among the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord, the Phoenix has the highest loyalty. Just now she swore allegiance to Sovereign Dominion, so in her eyes, protecting Sovereign Dominion's interests is above all else!
Phoenix embodies the spirit of esports, but when it comes to the team she serves, she can abandon all esports ethics, including but not limited to match-fixing, bribing opponents, and engaging in insider trading...
This was one of the reasons why he vetoed Phoenix's proposal for Imperial Crown to enter the professional league.
"Alright, alright." Huyan Lan raised his hands in surrender. "I promise you, I will absolutely not let the Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes and Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes hold back. Our Sovereign Dominion will defeat them with sheer strength and win the final victory."
"That won't do either." Su Hang didn't back down at all. "I'll allow you to participate in tomorrow's match against the Twilight of the Gods Team, but you absolutely cannot participate in today's match against the Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes team."
"No room for maneuver?"
"On matters of principle, there's no room for discussion!"
I just can't do anything with you.
Huyan Lan leaned closer to Su Hang, tucked her hair behind her ear, and smiled coquettishly, her breath sweet and delicate, "Can I participate in the competition, Dad?"
