The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 97: Departure for Blue Rain, an inauspicious start—they got lost...

Yu Wenzhou's repeated calls of "Captain" were making Lao Wei a little flattered. It was unexpected that Yu Wenzhou would still show Lao Wei such respect after he left the team.
"Okay! I'll be there in a couple of days!"

Old Wei and Yu Wenzhou hit it off immediately. After agreeing on a time, they hung up the phone. Yu Wenzhou shook his head and then went straight to the club's senior management office. Yu Wenzhou was no joke.
Yu Wenzhou understood perfectly well that while Wei Xing might not have financial difficulties, Ye Xiu definitely did. Yu Wenzhou didn't want to see Ye Xiu fail to gain recognition in professional competitions due to lack of funds.
Moreover, if what Lao Wei said is true, then the value of this skill book guide is absolutely evident. Perhaps we can use this advantage to win the playoff championship this season!

While Yu Wenzhou and the club's management were arguing fiercely, Lao Wei had already hung up the phone and was walking arrogantly towards Ye Xiu and Mo Qian, making Ye Xiu and Mo Qian laugh nonstop.

"No, Lao Wei, what are you up to? -- Don't worry, even if you don't succeed, we won't blame you."

Ye Xiu looked at Lao Wei with amusement. How could he not see that Lao Wei was so excited because he had succeeded? He was just saying this to tease Lao Wei.

Old Wei looked at Ye Xiu with a blank expression, waved his hand like a boss, and said:

"With Uncle Wei on the case, he's as good as two people. Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything. Just wait patiently for us to go to the Blue Rain Club to collect the money in a couple of days. Hey—by the way, Lao Ye, have you thought about how much to sell for—buyout or not?"

Ye Xiu hadn't thought about that, but he had a good candidate in mind: Tang Rou was an excellent choice.

Others may not know Tang Rou's background, or Chen Guo may know, but Ye Xiu also knows that Tang Rou is the daughter of the well-known entrepreneur Tang Shusen. Do you think it's possible that Tang Rou wouldn't know about contracts and interests?

Therefore, Ye Xiu planned to bring Tang Rou with him. Although Ye Xiu trusted Yu Wenzhou's character and temperament, as the saying goes:
One should not harbor malicious intent, but one must always be wary of others.

A few days later, Ye Xiu, Lao Wei, Tang Rou, and Mo Qian embarked on their journey to G City. Of course, they didn't walk; they flew there, arriving in just a few hours.

Standing in front of the Blue Rain Club, Ye Xiu looked at the incredibly magnificent building and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is Blue Rain for you—they're really rich and capricious—"

Unlike Ye Xiu, Wei Chen didn't share the same sentiments. Instead, gazing at the building that existed deep within his memory, he sighed with some emotion and said:
"So you finally came back—"

Mo Qian and Tang Rou were almost at the door, but Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were still there, looking at the Blue Rain Club building and reminiscing about their lost youth.

Tang Rou looked at Mo Qian with some confusion and asked:
"Have they always been like this?"

Mo Qian sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He was speechless at Ye Xiu and Lao Wei's sudden outbursts of sentimentality.

Of course, this doesn't mean Ye Xiu and Lao Wei are really old. To ordinary people, Ye Xiu and Lao Wei are still quite young. But for esports players, their age is a real disadvantage. However, Lao Wei's performance has declined significantly, while Ye Xiu's performance seems to be getting better and better for some reason. If Lao Wei knew this, he would definitely be furious. Lao Wei's performance is getting worse every day, but you're telling me that Ye Xiu's performance is getting better every day?

"Don't worry about these two. They might get arrested by security in a minute."

Mo Qian wasn't exaggerating at all. The way Ye Xiu and Lao Wei were staring at the Blue Rain Club building with those "lewd" expressions really made them look like paparazzi or die-hard fans of the Blue Rain team.
Of course, in the end, Mo Qian still managed to pull these two "historical-loving" old men inside, because he genuinely saw the security guards at the entrance were getting restless.
Don't get me wrong, the security guard just wanted the bounty. The security guard job is pretty lucrative; the reward is 200 yuan for catching a paparazzi or a die-hard fan who's bad for Blue Rain. That's a pretty tempting amount!

Of course, you can't just grab anyone and label them a dangerous individual. Every security guard here has a body camera and is required to carry it with them at all times.
Once inside, to Mo Qian's utter surprise, they actually...

I'm lost...

Mo Qian looked at Old Wei, who was leading the way, with some skepticism, and then looked suspiciously at the dead end ahead, and said;
"Old Wei? Are you sure this is really where the players train? Is this a training room?"

Old Wei did some quick calculations and realized that it seemed, probably, likely, he really was lost.

"Ahem, you young man, why are you in such a hurry? I just wanted to show you around the Blue Rain Club—alright! This time I'm serious, so you can rest assured, I can walk this road backwards! There's absolutely no mistake!"

Old Wei then swaggered out again. Mo Qian glanced at Ye Xiu, then exchanged a look with Tang Rou, both seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Hey, Brother Ye, Brother Mo, are you sure this person was the former captain of the Blue Rain team?"

It's no wonder Tang Rou was suspicious; Lao Wei really didn't seem like the former captain of the Blue Rain team. After all, what former captain couldn't even find the door to the club's training room?

But if you send Ye Xiu and Mo Qian to search, they'll definitely be completely clueless.

As for why there are no signs, this is thanks to Lao Wei's wise decisions in the past:
In order to encourage the Blue Rain team players to train regularly, Lao Wei removed the signs to the training room, so only regular users knew how to get there.
Little did they know, the bullet from the past struck Lao Wei squarely between the eyebrows; Lao Wei genuinely couldn't remember where Blue Rain's training room was.

"Holy crap! How stupid of me must I have been to come up with such a lousy method—"

On the surface, Lao Wei appeared calm and composed, as if everything was under control, but in reality, he was already drenched in sweat.

With no other option, they simply wandered around the Blue Rain Club.
