Chapter 706: 13.7 – Missed Star – Mr. Long is keeping a secret.

The Qualifiers ended well. Meanwhile, in Silent Night’s waiting room, all members were in a trance when they watched the performance of Team Autumn Dragon. The whole performance only took 3 minutes to finish but the scene that took place within those short minutes was full of excitement.

They watched at the first wave; pairing Ru Tang held his sniping rifle in his arms protecting Tang Yuu’s back from all directions while Tang Yuu ran in front to eliminate giant lizards ignoring his back and completely trusting the partner of his back. He Yuu, like a bulldozer, chops the lizards’ limbs by limbs without blood falling onto him as he kicks and cuts the giant lizards away from their group.

In the second wave, they’ve seen a War God, Long Xie instantly annihilating a herd of giant lizards like there were cabbages on a chopping board. His movements were smooth and extremely fast. If not for the recording in slow motion, they wouldn’t even be able to see his hands moving. Then an ethereal scene where a God descended on earth happened during the last scene.

They’ve to watch Ye Qiuji constantly pulling the trigger of the dual laser guns on his hands moving at each shot in different spots instant-killing all monsters before they fully surfaced from the desert lands.

Lin Lan exclaims, “Damn! That was amazing! Their accuracy is 100 %!”

“Heavenly Skills! No wonder the judges ask them to enter the professional stage. With their talents they could even contend on the professional field!” said Lou Ye while his eyes were stuck on the screen inside the room like their team captain, Lin Lan.

Tu Zise said, “Wow! A’Wu those Big Brothers... were amazing! I wonder when will we reach their stage?”

.....

But Tu Zise didn’t receive a reply from his little gong and saw Ye Wusheng looking seriously at the silver-haired man called Ye Qiu on the screen.

“So familiar. He really feels familiar.” Muttered Ye Wusheng.

Tu Zise understood what his lover meant, “Are you talking about Senior Ye Qiu? A’Wu you both have the same surname you might have met him from one of Ye Clan’s family reunions.”

“No. I only have a big brother. Our clan doesn’t have branch families,” replied Ye Wusheng.

Ye Wusheng observed Ye Qiu seriously but he still doesn’t feel like his appearance is familiar at all. Only the playful atmosphere around him slightly reminds his elder brother but seeing him acting lovey-dovey with the man named Xie Long, Ye Wusheng removed these thoughts in his mind as he knew his elder brother had been single his whole life and never even had a secret lover as he knows. He could only end his thoughts at this moment.

The Training for Trainees began. Once the month had passed the trainees were informed about the first Elimination Series. All Entertainment Company Trainees are required to enter the Competition. Whether they are a Team or Individual Players.

Within the dormitories, Ye Qiuji and Tang Ruan were watching movies in the living room while their husbands were in the kitchen preparing dinner. A long time after heaps of dishes was placed on the small table in the living room, Ye Qiuji was once again hugged from behind while He Yuu sat beside his fiancée and helped him pick a few of his favorite dishes.

They eat dinner in silence. After dinner, He Yuu helped his wife with the empty plates and entered the kitchen to clear the dishes and let the dishwasher do the rest. After eating the prepared pudding Ye Qiuji made a few days ago the team once again gathered in the living room.

“Who’s the sponsor of the first Elimination Series again?” asked He Yuu.

Tang Ruan replied. “Animated Expertise.”

While spoon-feeding his wife, Long Xie spoke, “Animated Expertise. The one engaged with long-distance interstellar pet transportation. What do you think of the next arena, Qiu’er?” he asked after all within the group the smartest among them is Ye Qiuji whose expertise is a future prediction by facts. Long Xie’s intelligence leans more toward military and war tactical strategizing.

“Animated Expertise. I heard that their latest goal is about Psychology. Life and Rebirth of genes. Human Psychology and Evolution.”

When Ye Qiuji said that He Yuu and Long Xie couldn’t help but flinch though He Yuu’s reactions were a bit more present on his face while Long Xie instantly hid his surprise and continued feeding his wife with pudding.

Both Tang Ruan and Ye Qiuji noticed their reactions and felt there must be something wrong.

Tang Ruan asked, “A’Yuu what’s wrong with you?”

Trying too hard in his nervousness, he held back himself from looking at his boss. “N-Nothing. I was just surprised that Boss Autumn knew about Animated Expertise’s secret plans.” Replied He Yuu as he tried to play over his anxiety.

His anxiousness was still seen by his lover. “Lying to me again! You should sleep in the living room tonight!” exclaimed Tang Ruan as he ignored the pleading of his silly fiancé.

He Yuu doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh at his current situation. He couldn’t tell his lover about it as it was a confidential issue of their company, “Wuwu~ Xiao Ru... Sorry~ I’m not really lying~”

On the other hand, Ye Qiuji eyed his husband before him. He noticed that even Long Xie flinched slightly when he mentioned Life and Rebirth of genes with regards to Human Psychology and Evolution but seeing that the latter acted that it doesn’t seem important that he decided to turn a blind eye once this time.

Next Morning the trainees had gathered for their scheduled lesson on Social Psychology. Tang Ruan was seated while reading a book beside him. He Yuu is smiling at him with his arms around his waist. Seated in the row in front of them, Ye Qiuji with a pillow under his head is currently napping beside him. Long Xie is currently covering him with a blanket he brought over with him.

The classroom was packed full of 400 players. When a young man dressed in a plaid shirt and white gown was worn usually by researchers or scientists, the room that was full of noise abruptly turned quiet as soon as the young man opened his mouth.

“I’m a researcher from the Animated, central control signal department. I’m very glad to be standing here.”

Countless gazes gathered at the same place even Ye Qiuji who was hiding his face on his pillow stared at the man on the podium but for a different reason from surprise. He noticed that before the young man had spoken, his gaze wandered longer at his lover than the rest of the people inside the room.

He knew that his husband also looked for a few seconds at the man rather than his usual antics of ignoring strangers. They seem to know each other but his lover doesn’t seem to plan on telling him anything. Ye Qiuji looked at his husband who only stared at him with his usual loving gaze though his expression remained blank.

“You don’t have anything you wish to tell me A’Xie?” Ye Qiuji said to his lover.

Hearing Ye Qiuji question his boss, He Yuu couldn’t be helped but nervously flinched once and tried to hug his expression as he hugged Tang Ruan. Even Tang Ruan noticed his fiancé’s weird actions but remained silent as he felt that his own boss’ actions of suddenly questioning Long Huangdi doesn’t seem to feel right at the moment.

Long Xie gave his wife a smile and gently caress his face, “It’s not that much of a big problem for you to worry about Qiu’er.”

Ye Qiuji squinted his eyes as he knew that his husband was trying to hide something from him. He bit the hands that were caressing his cheek and gave Long Xie a warning look.

“If you lied to me. Even you will receive a punishment surnamed Long.”

Long Xie couldn’t help but give his worried wife a peck on his lips trying to soothe his slight anger for keeping some things from him. Ye Qiuji decided to believe him once and hugged him.

Ye Qiuji spoke, “Remember. I cannot lose you. The moment something happened to you and you’ve left... me then... I can only... destroy this world to follow you...” he then closed his eyes leaving the other pair shocked and frightened with what they’ve just heard.

Long Xie’s smile slightly widened when he heard that and put the sleeping Ye Qiuji on his lap covering them with a blanket.

“Don’t worry. Aside from you, nothing or no one can take my life in this whole realm.” He murmured while hugging him.

On the other hand, Tang Ruan and He Yuu knew that the words Ye Qiuji just said would never become a joke if something really happened to Long Xie. If there are people in this world that could destroy their whole interstellar world, there are only two people that could match that one godly requirement.

A Divine Physique of Full 3S class. There are only two people who have that kind of heavenly physique one is Long Huangdi and the other one is none other than General Autumn in short Ye Qiuji. This is why if something really happened to Long Xie and Ye Qiuji lost control there is no one in the world that could stop him if he really wanted to destroy their little realm.

Meanwhile, the researcher didn’t mention the layout of the competition grounds. Instead, I wrote several words on the whiteboard in smooth handwriting: Life, Society, Psychology. An hour later the bell rang, and the lesson ended.

A week later after the scheduled lesson and training regime was finished. The day of the Elimination Competition began. To show fairness, Team Autumn Dragon was planned to enter last in the field. As they are the only group with an S Class rating.

Once everyone else entered an elevator that allowed one to go inside the new arena, the last team was now allowed to enter as well. At this time, the curtains were officially lifted on the first elimination match. The elevator track and outer shell of the match grounds were made of a uniform type of metal, and the track was smooth and shiny.

Unexpectedly for this elimination match, everyone in Team Autumn Dragon was awakened even the laziest team captain Ye Qiuji is now walking with his own feet as the team entered the new arena. A global announcement was made as the Elimination Match began once all 500 players entered the game field.

‘First Elimination Match. Sponsored by Animated Expertise – Genes, Maze and Modified Lepidoptera.’

On the field. The Autumn Dragon Team had just stepped out of the elevator and was currently looking around. The last one to step out of the elevator is Ye Qiuji.

The three only heard Ye Qiuji’s voice lingering in their ears, “I’ll play solo this time. A’Xie, I wonder if you’ll be able to capture me. This is a small penalty for hiding things from me~”

All three of them looked back to check on Ye Qiuji but they didn’t even see any hints of his remaining shadow or figure behind them. They knew Ye Qiuji already made his move the moment he first stepped onto the field.

It was so fast and done silently that even Long Xie didn’t notice his departure. The aura around Long Xie instantly turned cold the moment he saw Ye Qiuji left without him, but he knew that it was his fault this time and decided to go solo as well and look for his runaway lover.

Long Xie looked at the other couple, “Play together. I will look for Qiu’er.”

After saying that Long Xie disappeared in front of them as well, after all, he is a full 3S physique owner the same as the other one who disappeared the moment they entered the field.

Tang Ruan and He Yuu looked at one another and sighed at the same time. They knew that their bosses were currently having a lover’s tiff. Getting involved in a lover’s fight never ended well so they decided to play around ignoring their bosses.

He Yuu asked his future wife, “What to do?”

“For now, look for clues and... let go find the youngsters and secretly protect them?” said Tang Ruan.

“I accept the first one but... can we forget the children and just have a date instead Xiao Ru?~~” replied He Yuu giving Tang Ruan a pair of puppy eyes. In the end, Tang Ruan agreed to his lover’s request and roamed around the field like they were on a date.
