The two looked at each other and smiled inexplicably.

For some reason, Ye Qing always felt that this smile made people feel a chill down their spine.

------

The next day, when the whole team gathered in the conference room, captain Ye Qing did not show up in the conference room as usual.

This made Li Xuan, the head coach, frown. Even though he had a special status, he still had to be in his position as captain at this time.

Whether for the sake of discipline or to set an example, Ye Qing, as the team leader, should be present.

"Where's Captain Ye?"

Li Xuan naturally looked at his roommate Huangfu Wenning, and Huangfu Wenning also shook his head.

"I shouted, but Captain Ye seemed a little uncomfortable. He asked the team doctor for some medicine. He may be taking it in his room now."

uncomfortable......

Li Xuan suddenly became a little worried. After all, Ye Qing rarely had problems.

Since he was sick, Li Xuan naturally would not require him to be present. He could just go and confirm after the morning meeting.

While everyone was in the meeting, Ye Qing pushed the door open wearing a mask.

"Sorry, I'm late..."

Seeing how sick she looked, everyone present couldn't help but become worried.

"Captain Ye, if you really feel uncomfortable, just go back and rest. We can talk about anything later."

Li Xuan signaled to the teaching assistant to pour Ye Qing a cup of hot water. Seeing her like this, no one would be embarrassed to blame her.

Especially now that she looks so sickly, she actually looks like a sick beauty.

"It's okay, it's just a cold... A-choo!"

Ye Qing quickly turned his head and covered his mouth with his hands.

Even with a mask on, she still walked out quite consciously, then signaled Li Xuan to continue the meeting while she just listened outside.

So a very strange scene appeared. Ye Qing, as the team leader, moved a chair and sat in the aisle, while the others sat in the conference room.

The staff passing by couldn't help but feel curious and subconsciously looked into the meeting room.

The culprits of this scene were Wen Mil and Gabriel, the two people who had pulled Ye Qing to practice last night.

Because he had been practicing in the bathroom continuously last night and was splashed with cold water countless times, Ye Qing only noticed that he had caught a cold after he succeeded.

"Don't let me get a chance to use this trick on these two..."

Ye Qing muttered unconsciously in his mind, and the evergreen rune on the inside of his forearm glowed slightly.

Chapter 37 Lyudmila

"I will distribute the forms to everyone today. The day after tomorrow we will face Yaoxing. Their overall strength is stronger than Jiuxiao. I hope everyone will actively prepare."

After the morning meeting, Li Xuan signaled the teaching assistant to pass on the basic information.

The next league opponent is the team from the veteran club Yaoxing, which is also the first team to introduce foreign aid before the official start of the game.

To be honest, most people were not optimistic about this game.

Judging from Xingchen’s current league record, it is normal that they are not favored.

The analysis of industry insiders is also reasonable. Through the limited personal data of the players, it is calculated that the winning rate between Xingchen and Yaoxing is 30:70.

Therefore, in order to give this group of people a solid slap on the face, Li Xuan was making desperate preparations.

But now the problem is, the game has to be played the day after tomorrow, and Ye Qing looks like he is seriously ill.

"If you have any questions, come to me later. I'll be in the coaching room. By the way, Captain Ye, please stay for a while. The others can go to the training room for training first."

After everyone in the team had left, Ye Qing stood up and moved the chair back.

Seeing Li Xuan's worried look, Ye Qing wanted to force a smile, but her cold made it difficult for her to speak.

"Captain Ye, can you still play in the game the day after tomorrow?"

Li Xuan sighed. If Ye Qing really couldn't play in the competition, he certainly wouldn't force her to play.

Not to mention the issue of winning or losing, it would be difficult for Li Xuan to accept sacrificing the health of the players just for a win or loss.

Past experiences have made him more cautious in many aspects. That loose management model has caused Li Xuan and the team to suffer losses.

Ye Qing nodded, his voice a little weak.

"no problem......"

"That's not a problem... You should take a rest. It's hard to recover from this severe cold in two days. Let them take over."

The situation has already become like this, so Li Xuan certainly won't force Ye Qing to play.

But this made Ye Qing a little anxious. She didn't want to miss the team's games, especially in the early leagues of the team. Every time was a good opportunity to run in the team.

"Ahem, ahem, I'm fine, I can play..."

"Captain Ye, according to epidemic prevention regulations, you will still have to be quarantined if you go to the neighboring province, even if you have a certificate. Just take a good rest."

Li Xuan is also having a headache. Although the current epidemic situation has been greatly reduced, there are still some recurrences.

Although Ye Qing stays in the base every day, it is possible that he has had contact with them.

What's more, if there are problems with teammates as well, it would be equivalent to giving away the game for nothing.

Hearing what Li Xuan said, even Ye Qing couldn't help but remain silent.

Ye Qing knew, of course, that she just had a bad cold, but according to the rules, she couldn't participate in the competition in her condition, and if she forced herself to go on the field, she might even drag down her teammates.

"...I understand. I will not participate in the game the day after tomorrow."

Ye Qing nodded, his expression obviously a little disappointed.

But she had to learn that trick again from last night. Without the secret protection of Wenmier and Gabriel, she would not be able to protect herself if she encountered some weird things.

With mixed feelings, Ye Qing slowly walked out of the meeting room.

After seeing Ye Qing's expression, the teaching assistant couldn't help but complain about Li Xuan.

"Coach Li, please don't be so direct. Is there anyone else in our club who loves this game as much as Captain Ye?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuan glared at him.

"Well, it's not like Captain Ye won't play anymore. Just make it clear. Besides, even if he doesn't play, he can give instructions behind the scenes..."

After Li Xuan gave such a long explanation, he found that there seemed to be no need for him to explain at all.

The more he explained, the more it proved that he just couldn't bear to do it.

So Li Xuan didn't say anything else. After packing up his things, he took his assistant to the coaching room.

--------

"What? Team Ye isn't going to play in the game the day after tomorrow?"

Angel, who had just cheered for canceling her sparring with Ye Qing, now seemed to collapse.

When hearing this notice, other people in the team were also surprised, but they also felt it was reasonable.

After all, this cold will not heal in two days. Ye Qing is busy on weekdays, taking charge of training and giving them "make-up lessons", so it would be good to have some rest.

"Then we will go to Xiaoyan at that time, and the lineup will have to change, right?"

Zhao Manying took the form that had just been put down, which still contained the operational strategy centered on Ye Qing.

Everyone is now in the guild base. They have just played a few ranked games to warm up their skills and are communicating with Li Xuan through the team channel.

"That's right. You should keep your normal qualifying training this morning. Use the afternoon and evening time to practice the lineup, and you have to practice more."

Li Xuan's notice was brief, but it was like a bolt from the blue for Anjie, who least wanted to practice extra.

"Oh my god, I have to practice more..."

Anjie laid down on the table, mumbling without caring about her image.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Manying and Huangfu Wenning just smiled and didn't say anything more.

But a problem also arises. Since Ye Qing will not participate in the competition, who will be the commander?

The team leaders currently include Huangfu Wen Ning and Zhao Manying, but most of the time, deputy captain Zhao Manying is responsible for coordination.

When doing dungeons, Zhao Manying usually takes the lead when Ye Qing is not around.

The two looked at each other, and Huangfu Wenning took the initiative to signal Zhao Manying to speak.

"Then let's not waste time and hurry up to play ranked games. Anjie, you have to be careful. Your ranking points are almost being caught up by others. Your 25th place is no longer secure."

Zhao Manying took the initiative to take on the responsibility, and as the deputy captain, it was time for her to play a role.

The overall training plan has not changed, so after arranging targeted training for everyone, Zhao Manying herself also plans to enter the arena.

At this moment, she suddenly opened her inventory and started looking for her old equipment.

"Will there be a chance..."

Looking at the Fang of Fenrir sleeping in the inventory, Zhao Manying couldn't help but sigh.

Since Gabriel "possessed" her, he had specifically guided her in obtaining this equipment, and she became the front row member that the Star Team needed at the time.

The warrior equipment was placed in the inventory and had not been taken out for a long time.

She also has a passion for the game, and now that she has embarked on a professional career, her passion remains undiminished.

"It would be great if I could bring this equipment to professional competitions again."

Zhao Manying closed the inventory and no longer looked at the equipment sleeping in it.

At the same time, in Yaoxing’s base.

Lyudmila was playing a 3vs3 match with her teammates in the duel arena. As the main attacker, she was directly facing the front-line fighters in the team.

The continuous explosions of the magic sword and the continuous sword skills directly forced the front-line soldiers to retreat.

The teammates behind the warrior wanted to provide support, but the teammates behind Lyudmila also launched an attack at the same time.

"Captain Zhou, don't even think about providing support!"

The girl holding the two swords laughed loudly, and flashed to Lyudmila's side like a ghost, using the two swords to block the longbow that was about to hit Lyudmila.

The archer who was blocked was Yaoxing’s captain—Zhou Huan.

At this moment, when the attack was blocked, he did not hesitate, and suddenly plucked the bowstring with his right hand, directly activating his professional skills.

In an instant, countless arrows condensed from magic scattered towards him, forcing the girl with two swords to hide and flash away.

But Lyudmila did not retreat at all, instead she chose a more aggressive style of play.

The long sword in his hand that was enchanted with ice elements switched, and the exploding ice spikes blocked in front of him like a shield.

Lyudmila also took the opportunity to lower her body, like a light swallow flying close to the ground, and instantly approached the soldier.

The chain of elemental explosions instantly engulfed the warrior, and the ensuing battle basically lost its suspense.

The instant loss of one person put Zhou Huanfang in a disadvantageous position, and when Lyudmila's target shifted to him, he cooperated with the double-knife girl's pincer attack and directly sent her away.

"I was exposed again. I give in..."

The front-row soldier named Han Fang stood up from the game cabin and scratched his head in annoyance.

This kind of sparring has been carried out many times, but no matter how many times, he, the front-line fighter, will be the first to be eliminated by Lyudmila.

To the extent that both the coach and himself began to doubt his ability as a front row player.

"Haha, if you're new, just practice hard. Look at Captain Zhou. At least he can deal some damage this time~"

The girl with two swords who was not far away stood up and taunted, and deliberately made a face at Han Fang.

"Li Chan, come if you have the guts. If you can beat Lyudmila in one round, I'll owe you one."

The "bureau" that the Korean side mentioned was a rather luxurious restaurant. Needless to say, the cost was high. The reason why he made such a bet was that he was sure that Li Chan would not get any good results at the hands of Lyudmila.

"Eh, I won't. If you have the guts, come and do it. Lululu~"

"You..."

Just as the tension between the two men was growing, Zhou Huan, the team leader, sighed helplessly.
