Jiangcheng International Airport at dusk.
The terminal check-in hall was bustling with people coming and going.
Yugong Youjing asked with a complicated expression, " Su Hang, is it really okay if we don't Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor ceremony to accompany you during the competition?"
Su Hang printed the boarding pass without even lifting his eyelids. "Your offline participation will only be a burden to me. Only by participating online can I compete with all my might without any worries."
Yugong Youjing hesitated, knowing full well that Su Hang, though Daozi -tongued, was actually protecting them. After all, the live stream of rescuing Liuli had made them public enemies in the King of Glory community.
Once you participate in the competition offline and your real identity is exposed, who knows what unexpected things might happen.
Zhou Keyu, standing nearby, opened his mouth. To be fair, he could have accompanied Su Hang to the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor ceremony, but he couldn't go, as Su Hang had said, he would have been a burden.
After all, he is not a professional player and has no offline competition experience. In addition, the entire audience consisted of Imperial Crown's fans, so the psychological pressure he had to bear was unimaginable. If his performance was off, it would inevitably affect the whole team.
Su Hang glanced at him and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Zhou Keyu said with a determined look in his eyes, "After you reclaim the Imperial Crown at the Bird's Nest in the capital, don't rush to avenge the traitors. Remember to go back to Jiangcheng, go home first. I'll cook a feast, and we'll have a lively victory celebration."
Su Hang paused slightly, a hint of tenderness appearing in his blood-red eyes as he said, "Okay."
Yugong Youjing raised his fist and said, "I'll be waiting for your triumphant return!"
Su Hang's fists clashed; "Okay."
Watching Su Hang's desolate figure disappear into the distance.
Zhou Keyu muttered to himself, "The rest of the journey is up to you."
The following night, August 31st, the night before school started and the last day of summer vacation, should have been the last night for students to frantically catch up on their summer homework. However, millions of students seemed to have conspired together to do so.
Ignoring the mountains of summer homework, everyone was glued to the official livestream of Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor Honor of Kings, excitedly anticipating the start of the broadcast. The various college student QQ groups were already buzzing with excitement.
Jiangcheng No. 1 High School Student Group (Thousands of Members Online)
[ White Fatty ] (Reporter): I never even dared to dream of it. President Lin Ying actually managed to get tickets to the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor competition. Our Jiangcheng No. 1 High School Journalism Club has really made something of itself, managing to cover the competition live.
[ Girl Who Likes Bun Hairstyles ] (Reporter): Wow, I saw Senior Su Hang in the VIP passage! He's as aloof and handsome as ever, but is it because he's wearing colored contact lenses? Senior Su Hang's eyes look red.
[ Yu Huan ] (Administrator): I'm so envious! You guys actually got to go to the event in person, while we could only watch the live stream. But who would have thought that our senior from Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, Su Hang, would actually be one of the main characters in the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor!
[ Qianye ] (Class 7 Leader): I'm so angry! Imperial Crown is despicable, shameless, and vile. They're obviously bullying Senior Su Hang. Not only did they order the official Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor to change the rules, but they also prevented Sovereign Dominion's fans from watching the game live.
[ Meteor Shower ] (Class 2 Sports Committee Member): Exactly! As a three-year longtime fan of Imperial Crown, I'm completely disappointed. I've announced that I'm no longer a fan of Imperial Crown and will become a fan of Senior Su Hang.
[ Little Fish ] (Class Representative of Chinese Language in Class 4): Damn it, ever since Imperial Crown exiled the Imperial Emperor, and that idiot Jueying Captain of the Imperial Crown, Imperial Crown has changed its nature. I hope Senior Su Hang can act on behalf of Heaven!
[ Sunshine Girl ] (Class 10 Hygiene Committee Member): A core member of Imperial Crown, but I can't Jueying. I feel like he's trash and should be in the trash can.
[ Princess ] (Class 3 Psychology Committee Member): Now, videos supporting Imperial Crown, Three Champion Emperors, Jueying are flooding Douyin, but I haven't seen any videos supporting Senior Su Hang. I feel like I've been set up by capital.
[ Wutong Guardian ] (Class Representative of History): You definitely won't see this. Imperial Crown has a billion fans and controls public opinion across the internet. They want to badmouth Sovereign Dominion and isolate Senior Su Hang.
[ The Supreme Goodness Is Like Water ] (Class 4 Chemistry Representative): But is it really a good idea for us to call on all students not to do summer homework? @Group Admin Darling
[ Darling ] (Student Council President): It's okay. I've already signed a no-homework pledge with the student council presidents of No. 2 Middle School, No. 3 Middle School, Yucai Middle School, and hundreds of other high schools in Jiangcheng. All 300,000 high school students in Jiangcheng will not do summer homework.
"President Xia is awesome!"
"Well done, President Xia Qitong. As long as all the high school students in Jiangcheng don't do their homework, it's the same as everyone doing it. The school leaders and the Education Bureau can't do anything about it."
"Finally, I can watch the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor live with peace of mind."
[ Qianye ]: My biggest worry right now isn't the summer homework; it's Su Hang. He was so lonely Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor and there wasn't a single fan at the event.
[ White Fatty ]:... Qianye, have you forgotten that our journalism club is here? Me, Maru-chan, and President Lin Ying, the three of us, will all be cheering for Senior Su Hang.
[ The Girl Who Likes Bun Hairstyles ]: Family members of Jiangchang No.1 Middle School, something seems wrong. Senior Lin Ying bought a ticket for the Imperial Crown Team's fan viewing area.
[ Little Fish ] (Class Representative for Chinese Language): Damn it, has Lin Ying lost her mind? Why didn't she buy the Sovereign Dominion fan seats, but the Imperial Crown fan seats?
[ Wutong Guardian ]: Don't be so overreacting, Little Fish. President Lin Ying's approach can be considered a roundabout way to achieve her goal. After all, the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor doesn't allow Sovereign Dominion fans to enter, so they can only infiltrate the Imperial Crown fans' viewing area.
[ White Fatty ]: Damn, things are getting out of control. Maru and I have been assigned to the VIP seats. The people sitting next to us are all top streamers and professional players signed by Imperial Crown. The core members of Imperial Crown wearing masks are right next to us!
"Holy crap?"
"Really?"
"A VIP seat? They're selling for a million dollars each online!"
"No! Isn't Lin Ying a student from a poor family? He's so talented."
"If Lin Ying were a student from a poor family, I'd eat him! The Rubik's Cube he brought to school last time looked familiar. I searched it online, and wow, it's a collector's edition Rubik's Cube, costing a thousand yuan."
"The gambling father and the seriously ill mother are all fabricated stories by Lin Ying. She's shameless. She's clearly a rich kid, yet she's still eyeing the school's poverty subsidy."
After the initial shock, the students felt utterly disgusted, as if they had swallowed a dead fly. After all, Lin Ying was a poor but academically gifted student who supported her broken family with poverty subsidies and school scholarships.
[ Girl Who Likes Bun Hairstyles ]: Oh my god, I'm going crazy! My fellow Jiangcheng No. 1 High School students, President Lin Ying has taken her seat in the audience of the core members of Imperial Crown!
Why did he sit in the audience section reserved for core members?
The students were completely baffled.
[ White Fatty ]: Holy crap! President Lin Ying... President Lin Ying is the current captain of Imperial Crown Jueying!
"Ah?"
