Chapter 519 - A Reason for You (1/2)

Wei Chen’s thoughts slipped back to the beginning of the Alliance unintentionally. There was happiness and excitement, but that era eventually left him with boundless regrets.

Wei Chen had to admit in his heart that losing to Yu Wenzhou was not the sole reason why had stepped down, but it had been a large part of it. Otherwise, with his level of skill, even if he lost his status in Blue Rain at the time, he could still have easily drifted along in another place for a year or two. However, in Wei Chen’s eyes, drifting along was not an extension of his professional career, so he decided to end it.

He couldn’t tell his past feelings to the friends that surrounded him now. He always made himself look like a big shot in front of them. Ye Xiu was not as close as those friends were to him, but he was one of the people in the circle who understood Wei Chen’s situation back then.

“What about you? What are you doing? Returning right after retiring and all of the ruckus. Just what are trying to achieve?” Wei Chen retaliated at Ye XIu after much melancholy.

“Hey, after some consideration, I decided to stir up some noise again. I don’t want to end up like someone, all lonely and blue after just a few years.” Ye Xiu returned.

“F*ck off f*ck off f*ck off f*ck off f*ck off!” Wei Chen shouted out five “f*ck off”s in row.

“How about it? Let me bring you along for the ride. You can go back to those old times, too.” Ye Xiu offered.

Wei Chen maintained his silence. The other had the intention, and he was not at all without such desires. Recently, he often dreamt of returning to the Alliance. Honestly, it wasn’t like he had never given the idea any serious thought before. Nevertheless, the decisiveness of him leaving became the biggest obstacle of return. He had left so smoothly that he could not bring it to slap himself in the face in front of everyone now. Just like this, as time moved on, the distance between him and the Alliance grew and he found it harder and harder to gather enough courage to go back. Fortunately, today, there was a force pus.h.i.+ng him to do so. In Wei Chen’s heart, the desire of returning has never being as strong.

“Don’t lose this opportunity. You even have the perfect reason this time!” Ye Xiu urged.

“What’s that reason?”

“Your silver weapon is being held hostage by me! In order to get it back, you have to return. For someone as shameless as you are, that’s a good enough reason, right?” Ye Xiu explained.

“F*ck off!” Wei Chen cursed.

“You can do it!” Ye Xiu replied.

This short phrase became another wall for Wei Chen. He was like a hesitating wanderer, insecure about his own strength.

“What do you think of me right now, compared to the me of the past?” Wei Chen asked.

“Your technical skill and speed can’t be compared to the past, but your shamelessness hasn’t changed. I’m really happy to see someone so familiar.” Ye Xiu answered.

“A few years ago, it was Yu Wenzhou who was learning from you in secret. Now you can reverse it. You can crush him by surprise. What about it? Doesn’t it sound great?” Ye Xiu added.

“Mm, it sounds good…” As Wei Chen thought about it, his heart was filled with yearning.

“Then what are you waiting for?” Ye Xiu questioned.

“What I suddenly thought of is that according to the regulations, you dirty b*stard still has to wait for at least an entire year, which means you will definitely miss the next season and will have to join the following season after that. Do you expect me to return at the old age of 32? Am I supposed to be grandpa to everyone?” Wei Chen spoke.

“32? You’re that young? Aren’t you like 40+ now?” Ye Xiu doubted.

“You f*cker!”

“We need time to get used to each other anyways. I’m a.s.suming you don’t want return and just run back like a clown, right? Speaking of which, did you win any champions.h.i.+ps back then?” Ye Xiu continued.

Wei Chen was speechless. For the first three years, all of the champions.h.i.+ps in the Professional Alliance were s.n.a.t.c.hed away by this guy’s Excellent Era. Who didn’t know that? And now this guy was pretending to be ignorant? So who was truly the most shameless person in the Alliance?

“You mean to say that the goal of your return is to be the champion?” Wei Chen asked.

“Besides that, what other goal would a pro player have?” Ye Xiu retorted.

“Good! This is a nice goal. Hahahaha, children of the Alliance,  quiver in fear! This senior is coming back!” Wei Chen sent the message with a laughing emoji.

“You’ve decided? Are you sure?” Ye Xiu checked.

“Stop blabbing!’ Wei Chen snapped.

“Then we will have to face a real and important issue.” Ye XIu stated.

“What?”

“With your shamelessness, how can I believe that you aren’t lying to me just so you can get your silver weapon back?” Ye Xiu clarified.

“Ah… That really is an issue.” Even Wei Chen himself had to agree.

“Let him come to our place. Once we have the real person, there wouldn't be any more problems, would there?” Chen Guo, who had been watching the two’s conversation the entire time, added. She didn’t expect Ye Xiu to attempt to drag someone who had been away from the pro scene for so many years into his team. Still, after seeing Ye Xiu actually succeed, she immediately started to brainstorm ideas to help them out. If they were going to end up on the same team, then they would have to gather in one place eventually.

“Where are you?” Ye Xiu asked consequently.

“Siqi City.” Wei Chen replied.

“I’m asking about you in real life, not your character...” Ye Xiu was speechless. Siqi City is one of the major cities in the Heavenly Domain.
