Chapter 512: Liangchuan is Zi Chuan! (12)

The room was very clean, it was obvious that it was frequently tidied up.
She thought of what Auntie Li had said—this room was cleaned by Shen Liangchuan. It showed how important these objects and their related past were to him.
There were only two shelves in the room.
And there were very few objects on the shelves.
Qiao Lian saw the steel figure of Xiao Qiao.
She almost could not believe her eyes as she stared at it. With a trembling hand, she reached out and picked it up.
Then, turning it upside down, she saw the inscription “Xiao Qiao.”
Knowing that she was holding a unique object in her hand, she felt like a loud thunder had broken right in her ear. She was absolutely shocked.
Gripping the figurine tightly in her hand, she looked around again and saw that in a corner there was a limited edition miniature of a weapon.
She walked over to pick it up. It was a broadsword, which sent her into yet another shockwave.
This object... immediately took her back to a time eight years ago.
Although at that time she had steadily improved in her skills after gaming with Zi Chuan, there was a point when she hit a plateau and found herself unable to break through.
During the fights, Zi Chuan would inevitably pair up with high-skilled players. While she, an unqualified and inept player among them, never did very much in these fighting matches.
At the time, she was still not very adept at maneuvering Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao was very much an offensive character, so the character was balanced by having a notably low amount of hp. In other words, it could be easily killed by assassin-type opponents.
Those days, she had not yet mastered the displacement spell to defend herself.
Hence, every time she fought in a match, she would be easily killed.
Qiao Lian was very young and happy-go-lucky at that time. Every time she met Zi Chuan online for a game, she would post a message to all the players before each game: [Big Brother Experts out there, please do not kill me.]
And every time she posted this message, someone would tease her.
All along, Zi Chuan would not make any comments, until one time...
There was a skilled expert online who fell for it.
He replied to her message: [Are you a sister? If so, I won’t kill you.]
Qiao Lian immediately kissed up to him, saying: [I’m a cute sister, Expert, please spare me!]
Zhao Yun replied: [Okay.]
Qiao Lian initially thought that he was just teasing her.
But unexpectedly, during a battle where she had very few hp left, Zhao Yun walked up to her to take a look, and then turned and moved away. He did this when he could have easily killed her in one attack.
Qiao Lian was immediately stunned.
Zhao Yun was super adorable.
She went back to base to recharge and posted a cheeky message to the other party: [Brother Zilong 1 , thank you!]
Zhao Yun replied: [Don’t mention it. Add me as a friend after the game. I’ll be your protector.]
So it was him.
Even though she wasn’t keen on adding him as a friend, Qiao Lian immediately typed back: [Brother Zilong is so dashing!]
After recharging, she went back into the map to locate Zhao Yun.
However, glancing through the terrain...
She discovered that Zhao Yun had died!
Died?
Zhao Yun was a considerably skilled player, how had he died?
Qiao Lian immediately looked around and saw that Zi Chuan was nearby.
So it was him.
Following this episode, the rest of the game was explosive, to say the least.
After Zhao Yun resurrected and as he got ready to fight once more, he was captured again by the watching Zi Chuan. Stun spell and slayed!
Zhao Yun was dead. Again!
Since the first time had caught him by surprise, Zhao Yun had been particularly cautious the second time.
