Mo Huaifeng instead first reminded Ji Zhiyao. “Put on your pants properly first.”
“Okay.” Ji Zhiyao hurriedly pulled up his pants and awaited the reactions of the others.
K read the fastest, with a long face, he slapped the table and burst out, “I’ve lived for so many years, this is my first ti seeing such a shaless person. Why, he thought we would give a thought to “the past relations” and allow rumors to be made up blindly?”
Mo Huaifeng frowned, “I’ll go give the club a call first. Nuo, you get Yuan Wei.”
“Okay.”
Everyone was solemn. K and Heng had already logged onto their Weibo alternate accounts to tell people off. Ji Zhiyao thought for a mont and found a video of Mix’s losing ga at the previous international league online. He dragged the progress bar till the very end and started watching from there.
Both teams were well-matched in strength, the defense turrets on each of the lanes have been pushed down till the very last one. Then Mix battleteam went to take down the big dragon.
Cabbage was the jungler, positioned all the way inside, beside him was Mo Huaifeng, both of them were already left with a shred of health. The remaining three mbers defended on the outside.
Cabbage used his jungling abilities, but because he had previously changed a certain jungling equipnt to shoes, the damage he did to the big dragon was slightly less than he had estimated.
In the next second, both of them were trampled to death by the big dragon. The opponent’s ADC found a gap and directly used a long range attack to finish off the big dragon.
As a result, Mix battleteam threw the entire ga.
Ji Zhiyao pursed his lips.
However, based on the video, it could not be determined clearly who was in the right and who was in the wrong between Cabbage and Mo Huaifeng. This mistake, could be seen as Cabbage’s carelessness, and could also be seen as a wrong decision made by Mo Huaifeng.
This was exactly the reason why it wasn’t easy to judge and hence also gave certain trolls online a gap to wantonly comnt.
Ji Zhiyao frowned, as if he had thought of sothing, he went onto the livestream platform to search the replay of Cabbage’s livestream from a few hours ago.
His livestream duration wasn’t long, a little past 30 minutes. Ji Zhiyao clicked to speed up the video.
A young man with a buzz cut appeared on the screen, smiling forcefully as he greeted, “Hello everyone, I am Miao Pai battleteam’s jungler, Cabbage.”
[Why do I feel like my Little Cabbage’s expression looks so forced... did sothing happen to make you unhappy?]
“I’m not unhappy, it’s just we lost the training tournant just now.”
[Our Miao Pai has started competing in training tournants? Is it convenient to tell us which battleteam it was?]
Cabbage smiled, his face moved out of fra for a bit. “Nothing inconvenient, but I sohow feel that it’s not very nice to reveal their na.”
He glanced to the side, another person that seed to be his teammate continued the conversation, his voice was slightly soft, but was very clear. “Oh my, Little Cabbage, don’t be afraid to speak up just because they’re your ex-team.”
Cabbage stopped him with an exclamation, “Song!”
[What the f*ck what did I hear? Could it be Mix battleteam?]
[Was it because you lost to your ex-team that you were sad? Hugs, it’s okay, it’s okay. We’re great.]
Cabbage saw the comnt and put on a small smile. “They’ve made a really huge improvent, I was very surprised. Especially the new jungler, at the start I thought he was a newbie and lowered my guard, didn’t expect that he was very strong.”
[Just a trashy influencer, what exactly is good about him? Even Little Cabbage is praising him.]
[He should feel privileged.]
Watching to this point, Ji Zhiyao was almost in tears from being pissed off. Let’s not ntion that Cabbage totally wasn’t sincerely praising him, even if he was, with all the commotion started on Tieba and Weibo, he couldn’t bring himself to like this person anyway.
The livestream was still playing, indeed, Cabbage’s teammate then said, “I don’t think he’s any good, that dirty trick that he played with his Little Cabbage was virtually too insulting, Little Cabbage isn’t in their team now, why are they so hostile to Little Cabbage?”
The comnts flew in rapidly: [What does that an? What have I missed?]
[Actually insulted Little Cabbage? A flopped idol of the scene who openly shields his teammate and a suck up trashy jungler, what right do they have to make remarks about a senior who has made it into the international league previously?]
[Fi-god insulting soone? Are you kidding? He may be slightly aloof, but he has never insulted anyone.]
“Sorry, that’s it for the livestream today. So of the words, please do not take it to heart.” With that, Cabbage hastily went offline.
His livestream video ended right there.
At this very mont, Ji Zhiyao’s lungs were about to explode in anger.
For this wave of things, anyone with discerning eyes would be able to tell that it was instructed by Cabbage to his teammates, why would there still be people criticizing Mo Huaifeng on Tieba and Weibo?
Ji Zhiyao curbed himself to calmly take a few deep breaths in and out, then picked up his phone and began to change his account to strike back at people wildly.
...
Nuo and Yuan Wei went directly to the backyard to look for Mo Huaifeng.
It happened that Mo Huaifeng had just hung up his call, Yuan Wei asked with a frown, “How is the club going to handle this?”
“First control the comnts under the official account, then release an announcent tomorrow, as the first warning, if it isn’t effective then lawyer’s letters will be sent out directly.”
Yuan Wei nodded. “It’s the best to send lawyer’s letters right away. Those people should have taken a second look at the kind of rumors they were creating, I wished I could grab their heads and put them back in school to be educated again.”
Nuo said, “Back then we didn’t realize that Cabbage was such a person, I’m utterly disgusted. If we had told Old Ning beforehand to not invite Miao Pai battleteam, things would be fine. Instead, we’ve now allowed them to use us to create a rally for them before the national qualifiers this year.”
Yuan Wei was evidently enraged, as seen from the veins on the corner of his forehead that stood out. “Since it has co to this, don’t take into account whatever old ties anymore. Cabbage, to be honest, could we get the club to deal with him directly? Back then at the international league, Cabbage made a mistake, but no one ever blad him. In the end, he conceitedly demanded to leave the team, Captain, you didn’t allow the club to charge him the high amount of penalty for breach of contract, you’ve already shown extre forbearance. If it wasn’t for that, his debts would’ve crushed him to death, how would he still be able to freely wander to Korea to be a reserve? He has never cared for old ties! Damn it, just thinking about how our team has played just one training tournant and already being made a scapegoat for such a huge incident, it’s infuriating.”
Mo Huaifeng’s expression was peaceful, as if the other person that Yuan Wei had spoken about wasn’t him. “I’ve asked the club, they only said so guiding vocabulary in the video, also the party had warned others not to believe it. If we do blow this up, it would at most be getting them to apologize.”
Nuo added his view. “The key is that what they’ve co up with definitely wouldn’t be just this. I don’t believe that they weren’t the first to post on Tieba and Weibo? Captain, hand this to , since they want to malign us, they would have to check if they themselves have the capability to. I’ll contact a friend right now, I don’t believe we won’t be able to determine the IP address of those posts.”
Mo Huaifeng went silent for a mont and nodded at last, giving his tacit approval.
Nuo took his phone to a side to make a call. Yuan Wei yawned. “This year has been slightly vexing, feels like nothing is going favorably.”
Mo Huaifeng consoled him for once, reaching out to pat him twice on the shoulder. “eSports scene. When the national qualifiers end, all will be good. Have you forgotten how badly we were criticized the year we lost the international league?”
Yuan Wei involuntarily shuddered, that period of unpleasant mories were evidently still fresh in his mind.
Mo Huaifeng curled his lips and did not speak.
When Nuo was done with his phone call, the three of them entered the villa together. The entire training room was brightly lit, K who hadn’t done a livestream in the longest ti was in a thundering rage before the cara at the crack of dawn. Even Xiao and Xiaofei who had gone to bed earlier had been called down, dark circles beneath their eyes as they hugged a phone each, battling in all directions.
Seeing them walk in, Ji Zhiyao was the first to share eye contact with Mo Huaifeng. Mo Huaifeng nodded slightly towards him, with a small smile, Ji Zhiyao was instantly reassured.
Yuan Wei took a look around the room, suddenly saying, “Don’t you all feel tired using your alternate accounts to rebuke people? We’re already being criticized right on our doorstep, the things we have not done, let’s be open and above board about things.
The room went silent for a few seconds before a dreary wail burst out. Heng rolled up his sleeves. “I’ve been suppressing it so badly, I must condemn them till they admit defeat with their hands laced behind their head.
Yuan Wei said, “NoHomo, the ti for your use has co. Quickly bring out your buried capabilities to establish our stand on the situation, use obscenities if you have to and do inform while you’re at it, that whoever continues b*tching will receive a lawyer’s letter directly.”
Ji Zhiyao froze, then nodded. “Okay, leave it to .”
Slightly more than ten minutes later, all mbers of Mix took turns publishing a post on both Weibo and Tieba, the general content of the post is as follows.
1
There was quite a lot of ssy gossip and rumor in the eSports scene, but to have all mbers who dared to counter so directly, Mix battleteam was considered the very first in history. In a short mont, there were already many people with suspecting attitudes who chose to believe; many accounts who reposted about the rumors previously also deleted their posts.
Whereas in the training room, after posting, everyone yawned several tis while facing each other. Yuan Wei said, “We’ll wait till tomorrow to deal with the remaining matters, let’s disperse now, go to bed.”
The others had no objections, each one heading upstairs to sleep with dispirited expressions.
Ji Zhiyao intentionally fell behind to be right at the end and waited till Mo Huaifeng sent Yuan Wei off before heading upstairs with him.
Because they weren’t in good moods and were also too exhausted. For the two flights of stairs, both of them essentially had zero interaction. When Ji Zhiyao walked to the front of his door, Mo Huaifeng reached and rubbed his hair with so strength, saying in a soft voice, “Go sleep.”
Ji Zhiyao hesitated for a mont, checked left and right, then reached out and pinched Mo Huaifeng’s face. While he was in a daze, he coughed and said, “Good night.”
With that, Ji Zhiyao turned and ran off, closing his door.
Mo Huaifeng stood in the sa spot, his expression that had been a rather upset one since finding out about the incident on Tieba gradually relaxed as he resignedly lifted the corner of his lips.
So mischievous, all from being spoilt.
...
The next morning, once the staff who managed the official account reported to work, a post was published right away.
[Mix Battleteam OfficialV:
Recently, “LovedGuoGuo”, “User457”, “FloatingHundreds” and more users have spread rumors such as “Mix battleteam’s ex-jungler quit the team of his own accord in order to maintain Mix.Fi’s reputation”, “Mix.Fi insulted ex-teammate” and more untrue remarks on Weibo and Tieba, sparking erroneous direction of public opinion, leading to netizens having bad impressions of Mix battleteam and even resulting in slander.
Mix Club has hereby initiated legal proceedings towards the above accounts according to the law. Relevant materials have been handed to S City Courthouse.
anwhile, we would like to highlight a few points.
1. Towards slander of Mix battleteam and each of the mbers, the club maintains a zero tolerance policy. Once rumor spreaders are found, the club will sue each person according to the law.
2. Regarding the slanderous guiding vocabulary used by Mix battleteam ex-starter jungler (current Miao Pai battleteam’s starting jungler) Cabbage and the other mbers of Miao Pai battleteam in their livestream yesterday, the club will be actively communicating with Le Tian Club, which Miao Pai battleteam belongs to, we absolutely will not put up with the insults silently.
3. We hope that all Tieba and Weibo users be cautious be one’s words and actions, avoid creating and spreading rumors at all tis.
At the sa ti, regarding so untrue rumors, Mix battleteam welcos all to monitor and investigate.

Wishing everyone a good day.

The mont the official account makes a move, the truth will be made known.
Once this Weibo post was published, most people were imdiately frightened. All of them did not expect that the rumors this ti round would incur such a big reaction from Mix Club.
The stats analyzer learned about this matter and specially ca bright and early to look for Mo Huaifeng and the rest, to apologize.
In his point of view, knowing perfectly well that the other party’s jungler was the team’s ex-jungler and still insisting on inviting them for the training tournant and not telling everyone in advance, resulting in such a huge commotion, was all his fault.
Mo Huaifeng said, “Nothing to do with you. It was he who changed.”
Ji Zhiyao could not help but look towards him.
Captain who said these words, his features were slightly obscure, seems like he was upset at heart.
Nuo returned from outside after making a call and was evidently aware of that, as he lowered his speaking voice. “Captain, my friend has traced the IP address of the Tieba post, it really ca from Miao Pai battleteam’s base.”
Everyone in the room turned silent. Especially those people who had fought side by side with Cabbage before Mix reassembled, including Nuo himself, his mouth was pursed tightly.
Even last night, when they had already guessed that all the rumors were started by Cabbage, they still held so hope deep down.
He was after all, once a comrade-in-arms, they did not wish to guess about him with the most vicious thoughts.
But now the truth was right before them, they had to accept it.
Nuo sighed. “Captain, I’ve sent all the materials to you. How to handle it... If there’s really no way, hand it over to the club.”
Hearing this, Ji Zhiyao looked at Mo Huaifeng’s expression once more. His countenance did not change, as if since he forgot himself yesterday, he wouldn’t find this news disappointing anymore.
He ‘mm-ed” and said in a businesslike tone, “Hand it directly to Yuan Wei, let him go handle it.” After pausing for a mont, he continued, “We’ll check out Miao Pai’s attitude first, if they are willing to apologize, we can let it pass. If they do not apologize, let Yuan Wei and the club discuss and make a decision.”
Nuo replied. “Alright, I’ll text Yuan Wei.”
When the training room resud its deathly stillness and silence, Ji Zhiyao intentionally coughed, secretly peeping at the expressions of the others, especially Mo Huaifeng’s, saying, “Let buy you guys lunch.”
Other than Xiao and Xiaofei whose eyes lit up, the others still looked very low-spirited. Heng said gloomily, “I’m utterly disgusted right now, don’t talk about eating, I have no appetite at all.”
Ji Zhiyao hesitated. “Then... I’ll help you guys vent off?”
Everyone in the room instantly had their gaze fixed on him.
