Xie Shurong didnât take long to recognize that the opposite person was his older apprentice brother, Su Guangmo. It had been a long time since they fought. His fighting spirit was stimulated by Su Guangmo and he was too lazy to hide his strength, so he readily hit his brother.
Unexpectedly, Su Guangmo stopped at the last minute and jumped away from Xie Shurongâs attack range. He typed in the private chat: [I havenât seen you for a few years, Younger Brotherâs progress is quite big.]
Xie Shurong retorted: [Who is your younger brother? Didnât you tell me to get lost?]
Su Guangmo smiled: [Remembering the words of an argument from a few years ago, a man shouldnât be so stingy!]
***
In the year the Three Musketeers were both, Su Guangmo was 19 years old while Xie Shurong and Yu Pingsheng were 18 years old.
Yu Pingsheng didnât like to speak. He was always hiding and playing with his phone. However, Su Guangmo and Xie Shurong were hot tempered. The scene of the two of them arguing was Yu Pingshengâs live nightmare.
Both of them were young, frivolous and opinionated, they refused to concede.
It was the so-called âone mountain canât tolerate two tigers.â Su Guangmo originally had a straight personality and Xie Shurong was sharp and aggressive. The year that the Flying Feathers team won the championship, it looked like the three apprentice brothers were getting along with each other to outsiders. In fact, they were arguing almost every day?
How to arrange the next game? Su Guangmo had one opinion and Xie Shurong felt another way. If the two people disagreed, Yu Pingsheng didnât dare stop them and could only call over their master.
Song Yang, who was Flying Feathersâ coach at the time, had to run to the training room every day to persuade them. Sometimes he felt very anxious because the two apprentices would punch and kick at each other before finally going quiet. Song Yang didnât know what to do if it went on like this.
Fortunately, most of Xie Shurong and Su Guangmoâs disputes were for the team. Their tactical ideas were slightly different but they could understand each other after Master Song Yangâs adjustment. In addition, both of them were forthright and didnât like holding grudges. They would argue in the morning and by afternoon, they would be watching videos of the game together.
The noisy third season of these two people was now a precious memory of their youth.
Both Su and Xie were young and hot-blooded, proud and irritable. They met with each other and bickered every day. However, they didnât take it to heart and never hated each other.
At least, until the day their argument reached a point they couldnât come back from.
***
After Flying Feathers won the championship in the third season, Song Yang felt that his three apprentices could support the Flying Feathers team and went abroad to do business, officially retiring from e-sports.
Once their master left, Yu Pingsheng thought for a long time before finally daring to say his own thoughts.
He was more familiar with Su Guangmo and secretly told him first. In fact, his favourite class was the berserker but Captain Song wanted to train three swordsmen. Yu Pingsheng was very introverted and didnât like arguing with others, so he silently agreed.
For more than a year, he had been playing a swordsman like his master wanted. Still, he always felt that when he played a swordsman, he couldnât open up his ideas and he didnât play too much of a role in the team. Therefore, he wanted to try changing to a berserker.
He secretly practiced and felt that he was more adept at playing berserker than swordsman.
However, changing his class meant the Flying Feathers team would have to find a new swordsman to succeed him and the lineup would have to be adjusted. Yu Pingsheng was very tense when saying these words and even stuttered.
He thought his senior wouldnât agree but Su Guangmo easily patted him on the shoulder and said, âWell, you play what you want to play.â
Yu Pingsheng looked up with an astonished expression, gratitude filling his eyes.
Su Guangmo saw the clear eyes and couldnât help smiling. He patted his young brotherâs head and said, âMaster isnât on the team anymore. I am now Flying Feathersâ master. Tell me if you want to do something in the future. There is no need to worry so much.â
An introverted person like Yu Pingsheng dared say these words, proving that he had been thinking about it for a long time. He was somewhat distressed about his younger brother. Compared to the radiant and sharp-minded Xie Shurong, Yu Pingsheng was more invisible among the Three Musketeers. Now that the Flying Feathers team won the championship and had a firm foundation, Xiao Yu wanted to try changing to his favourite class. It was understandable.
Su Guangmo never expected Xie Shurong to strongly oppose.
âThe Three Musketeers were trained by Master. Is there a reason for you to change classes after Master walked away? Isnât this a rejection of Master?â Xie Shurong stared at Yu Pingsheng with extremely sharp eyes. âIf you change classes, Flying Feathersâ entire lineup will have to change. Can you not be so selfish? Have you considered the other players? Have you considered Masterâs feelings?â
Yu Pingsheng was born introverted and now Xie Shurong was scolded him so fiercely. His eyes turned slightly red but he didnât know how to refute it. He could only lower his head, his fingers tightly clenched together as his face paled.
Su Guangmo saw this and felt a sudden anger in his heart. His face was calm as he said, âWhat do you mean by he is selfish and not considering the feelings of others? Is that how you talk to your older brother?â
âHow could Older Brother be so willful?â Xie Shurong retorted, âMaster just left and you are already messing things up as captain. Wanting to change classes, wanting to change the lineup, why donât you just change the name of the Flying Feathers team!â
âWhat nonsense are you saying!â Su Guangmo endured the urge to hit the other person. âA professional player can really only shine when they are playing their favourite class. Xiao Yu naturally has his reasons for wanting to change classes. You donât support him and actually speak so much nonsense. An 18 year old is considered as an adult so why donât you use your brains?â
âIâm not using my brains? You are the one protecting him without any brains!â
ââ¦â This sentence made Su Guangmo, who had endured for a long time, completely erupt. He grabbed Xie Shurongâs collar and shouted, âDo you have the courage to say that again?â
âAm I wrong?â Xie Shurong was like an irritated little wolf as he stared rudely back at Su Guangmo. âYou will raise your hands in agreement to anything Yu Pingsheng says, while you will scold me for anything I say! Isnât your bias too obvious? If you donât like me then say it bluntly. In any case, you are the captain. If you want me to leave Flying Feathers then just say it!â
ââ¦â Su Guangmo was so furious that he pointed to the door and said, âOkay, you can get lost!â
The moment these words were said, the three people were stunned.
The atmosphere in the training room was very tense. Yu Pingsheng noticed and quickly grabbed Su Guangmoâs arm, whispering, âBrothers, donât be angry. I wonât change classes. We will stay the same as beforeâ¦â
Before he could finish, Xie Shurong quickly picked up his backpack and pointed at Su Guangmo. âYou told me to get lost, donât regret it!â
Su Guangmo looked at the leaving figure of the 18 year old and kicked over the chair in front of him.
Yu Pingsheng followed in order to stop AâShu. Unfortunately, this person was very fast and his shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye. He returned to persuade Su Guangmo but found him sulking in the bedroom. Yu Pingsheng was helpless. Perhaps he should let them calm down first and maybe they would reconcile tomorrow. In any case, this wasnât the first time they argued. Every time they fought, they would quickly reconcile.
Yu Pingsheng didnât expect this to be the last argument between Su Guangmo and Xie Shurong.
Xie Shurong was walking alone on the streets at night. He knew that his brother was just speaking in anger. It was very easy to say inappropriate words when angry and then feel sorry when time passed.
However, he was very proud at that time. Su Guangmo said such words that Xie Shurong couldnât go back to Flying Feathers.
He walked around with his bag and eventually decided to go abroad.
Since he won an award in the third season, the American ICE Club had contacted him privately, saying that ICE was missing a talented swordsman. IF he was willing, he could play in New York, receiving free meals and an excellent salary.
Xie Shurongâs contract with Flying Feathers was about to expire anyway. Instead of staying in Flying Feathers and arguing with Su Guangmo every day, it was better to start from scratch in a new environment.
He hadnât been to the US yet so maybe playing there would be more fun? He could also gain some insights.
Thus, the 18 year old Xie Shurong decided to go to New York alone and join the ICE Club.
It was only after leaving his home, eating food he wasnât used to and listening to his teammatesâ fluent English that he gradually realized the decision he made was too hasty.
Unfortunately, God didnât give people the opportunity to regret.
In the next few years, Xie Shurong gradually grew up and thought about the matter in a more mature manner than when he was 18 years old.
âA professional player can really only shine when they are playing their favourite class.â
These were the words Su Guangmo had said in the past. The two people were angry at the time and Xie Shurong didnât think carefully about the truth of this sentence. He only thought that Yu Pingsheng was being unreasonable and Su Guangmo was brainlessly defending Yu Pingsheng.
Later in the US, he saw many outstanding players in the field and remembered the invisible Yu Pingsheng⦠Xie Shurong suddenly had a feeling of sadness.
Yu Pingsheng was introverted and always accepted other peopleâs arrangements. He rarely expressed his own opinions. Whenever the two brothers were arguing, he didnât know how to stop them and would stand on the side with a pale and sickly expression.
At that time, they fought because of him and Xie Shurong also said that he was selfish and didnât consider others. Wouldnât Yu Pingsheng be the most uncomfortable?
In fact, Xie Shurong was like this because his Master had just left the Flying Feathers team. His mood was very low and he felt like Yu Pingsheng was denying Masterâs idea of the Three Musketeers to play a berserker. Thatâs why Xie Shurong became very furious.
He thought about it later and realized that if Yu Pingshengâs favourite class was a berserker, it was the correct decision to change to a berserker. For a person like that to dare say his own thoughts, it wasnât easy. It was right that Su Guangmo support him as captain.
It was a pity that Xie Shurong was too proud and stubborn at 18 years old. He impulsively left Flying Feathers and left no room for recovering from that argument.
Xie Shurong felt guilty.
In particular, he said words that really hurt Yu Pingsheng.
For the past few years, he had been paying attention to the Flying Feathers team. He saw a berserker who was the opposite of an unknown swordsman. The most powerful front line berserker in the domestic league was the vice-captain of the Flying Feathers team. Yu Pingsheng, he had a cold and introverted character but he shone and was unstoppable on the field.
He was the one who made the front row of the Flying Feathers team a wall that other teams didnât dare take lightly. With his protection, Su Guangmo could use the most powerful attacks of the terran swordsman without worrying.
The Flying Feathers team was still among the giants of Miracle, proving that Su Guangmo and Yu Pingshengâs choice wasnât wrong.
Xie Shurong was very happy for his two brothers.
However, he couldnât return to Flying Feathers. It wasnât to do with pride but many other factors. Once something was missed, there was no need to go back.
***
Su Guangmo had been paying attention to his younger brother in recent years.
After Xie Shurong left, Su Guangmo calmed down and used his connections to check on Xie Shurongâs whereabouts. He found out that AâShu was playing in the American ICE Club and learning many things. He was very happy for his younger brother.
In that argument, both of them said words that shouldnât be spoke, completely hurting the relationship between brothers.
Su Guangmo regretted it a lot but he knew that AâShu wasnât a narrow-minded person who held grudges. He didnât return to the Flying Feathers team because he had a very good development in the ICE Club, not because of the previous matter.
They didnât worry about the old things but they still owed each other an apology.
***
Xie Shurong sent a private chat to the onlooker End of the World: [At that time, I was young and spoke foolishly. Donât mind it too much! In fact, you are very powerful when playing a berserker. I only wanted to guard Masterâs Three Musketeers and ignored your feelings. Iâm really sorry.]
The person didnât speak or fight but Xie Shurong knew this must be Yu Pingsheng.
Su Guangmo took Yu Pingsheng with him everywhere he went. Xie Shurong later understood the reason. Yu Pingsheng had psychological problems and interpersonal communication problems. He couldnât easily deal with people. Su Guangmo was afraid this person would become depressed and always took him along, becoming accustomed to protecting him.
The moment this message was sent, Xie Shurong also received a private chat from Su Guangmo. [Brother was very angry and didnât mean it when I told you to get lost. You idiot, why did you really leave? In addition, do you have to go all the way to America?]
ââ¦â Xie Shurong saw this familiar tone and couldnât help swearing. [(Fu*k) your sister! Is this how you apologize? Shouldnât you be apologetic?]
[Okay, it is my fault!] Su Guangmo thought of all their arguments in the past and couldnât help laughing. [We were young so donât worry about it. I know that you have been playing at the ICE Club for the past few years. Next year, Miracle will be holding a world competition. You are Chinese and canât represent America. Return to China, it is your home.]
[Of course Iâm going to return home.] Xie Shurong was full of confidence.
[If you return to Flying Feathers, Brother Yu and I will welcome you at any time.] Su Guangmoâs invitation was very sincere.
[If I go back and argue with you, Brother Yu will have a headache and canât sleep.] Xie Shurong typed with a smile. [Forget it. I have already contracted with a team.]
Su Guangmo already guessed that AâShu wouldnât return to Flying Feathers.
The original Three Musketeers had long become a legend. Yu Pingsheng wasnât playing a swordsman anymore and there was no turning back. Since many things had been missed, let it go. Forcibly trying to recover it wouldnât necessarily lead to good results.
Su Guangmo asked curiously: [Which team did you contract with?]
[It isnât convenient to disclose it.] Xie Shurong wanted to draw out the climax. [You will know when I come back.]
[Are you trying to increase the climax?] Su Guangmo smiled. [Okay, I will know the truth eventually.]
They just chatted up to here when a private message sent by Yu Pingsheng popped up on Xie Shurongâs bottom left corner.
[It doesnât matter, I donât mind. You have grown up very fast these years. Brother Su and I are very happy.]
This person with communication problems, he took so long to reply because he was probably thinking for a long time.
Xie Shurongâs heart became warm.
In the third season of the Miracle League, the Three Musketeers joined hands to lead Flying Feathers to the championship. Three years later, only Human Emperor Su Guangmo and Berserker Yu Pingsheng were left. The player Xie Shurong had gone to Canglan.
The relationship between the three brothers was actually very good. Su Guangmo saw Xie Shurong as a little brother and scolded him to look after him. It was just that they were too sharp when they were young. They stabbed at each other with the thorns on their bodies and ended up stabbing Yu Pingsheng.
The young men were stubborn and reckless. Like clumsy hedgehogs, they wanted to prove their strength by hurting others.
Today, they were all really strong.
The demise of the Three Musketeers was actually a sign that the three youngsters had grown up.
They would prove themselves in the biggest arena called the Miracle League.
