Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 326: Is Their Future Ruined?

"Seriously, this matter is brought up by the Duan Family behind Duan Yuleng, and perhaps Ming Fuzhi can’t escape the blame either."

After Tan Heming recovered his spiritual power, he felt these two were very strange.

Moreover, they benefited the most from his loss of spiritual power.

A look of resentment appeared in Luo Juerao’s eyes: "I knew when you had an incident, it couldn’t be unrelated to them. Bro, is our competition really over this year?"

Tan Heming nodded: "The higher-ups have spoken; we definitely can’t participate in this tournament. However, it doesn’t concern you much. Take a year off, see what happens this year. You can even follow the tournament of Mount Flower throughout. Maybe we’ll see Yunxia, after many years, win the S-Rank championship of the world league again?"

This time, Luo Juerao no longer seemed filled with doubt like before.

He was just a bit silent: "Tan Bro, can she really do it?"

Tan Heming nodded: "Of course I believe in her. If there’s anyone in the current Yunxia most likely to win the championship, it has to be her, right?"

Luo Juerao nodded reluctantly.

He was mostly saddened about the Mountain Ghost issue.

To think that Yunxia could shine again this year, yet he couldn’t even participate in the competition.

But who could be blamed for this? Luo Juerao could only clench his fists: "Those two idiots, Duan Yuleng and Ming Fuzhi, what exactly did they do?"

What they did, the Mountain Ghost wanted to know.

The fans outside wanted to know just as much.

Seeing the Mountain Ghost withdraw from all competitions this year, fans of every Mountain Ghost player were going crazy.

They weren’t satisfied with Mountain Ghost’s vague explanations, freely expressing their anger under the official blogs and the players’ personal Weibo accounts.

[Can’t they at least come out and explain the reasons for such a big issue?]

[Not a word said, just withdrawing from the competition. Is it the association that’s sacrificing? It’s all the players who’ve worked hard preparing all year. Shouldn’t the association give a proper explanation to these players?]

[These players were really unlucky to have joined the Mountain Ghost from the start.]

[I’m saying, some fans in the comments shouldn’t be too impulsive. For the entire association to withdraw, there must have been a serious, unforeseen event. If they didn’t withdraw, the consequences might have been more severe. Mountain Ghost is probably cutting its losses.]

[So sudden, I already bought tickets for this year’s players, and now I’ve got nothing to see?]

[Oh please, Tan Heming not being able to participate this year and dragging everyone down with him?]

[Mentioning Ming Shen? It has nothing to do with our Ming Shen!]

[The Mountain Ghost is way too strange this year. Tan Heming has an incident and can’t participate, and those participating suddenly get announced as withdrawing. Isn’t there someone betraying the country within the Mountain Ghost?]

...

Clearly, in the past few days, the Mountain Ghost would dominate the trending topics on Weibo.

Zero Egg had a big opinion on this: [Now when you post about you and your grandchild, no one pays attention.]

If no one paid attention, then there were no points added, which was quite a blow to Zero Egg.

It’s easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal!

Wen Jiang wasn’t concerned with points now; she was rather curious about what exactly was found in Duan Yuleng’s family.

Unfortunately, this was a confidential investigation, and even Wen Jiang, with her current status, couldn’t inquire about it.

Different people have different channels, and even Tan Heming didn’t dare tell her the truth, only saying that it’s still under investigation.

Moreover, it might not even be disclosed after the investigation is over, given the huge impact it could have.

And just how cold was the Mountain Ghost during this time?

Colder than the Ice Hell summoned by King Chu Jiang created by Wen Jiang.

Every leader wore a face as heavy as if attending a funeral.

The players did too.

Who could keep a straight face when their hard work of a year gone to waste with the sudden announcement of a competition’s halt?

The most uneasy of all was probably Ming Fuzhi and Duan Yuleng.

Unexpectedly, after the competition, Duan Yuleng wasn’t reprimanded.

More accurately, the leadership of Mountain Ghost didn’t even have time to reprimand him.

Upon the ban order, Duan Yuleng and Ming Fuzhi received a special prohibition—they weren’t even allowed to go home, having to stay in Mountain Ghost and wait for news, and couldn’t contact their family members at all.

If they didn’t know something was wrong, then Duan Yuleng and Ming Fuzhi truly were too gullible.

Duan Yuleng received a critical message during the competition.

The message came from his family, just a short sentence: [Leave Yunxia.]

Unfortunately, Duan Yuleng was amidst the competition, surrounded by people, and couldn’t leave the island alone.

Later, his family couldn’t be contacted at all.

He messed up disastrously during the competition, and besides his angry teammates, even his coach, Su Yifeng, didn’t blame him much. After the match, he received a call from the leadership, and they just gave him a deep look, which sent chills down Duan Yuleng’s spine.

Ming Fuzhi also knew something went wrong.

He stayed inside the Mountain Ghost Association’s dormitory, rarely showing a panicked expression. At this time, he couldn’t hide any sinister thoughts, only asking Duan Yuleng with a pale face: "Has that thing been exposed?"

He and Duan Yuleng both knew well about that matter.

Duan Yuleng raised his head, looking puzzled: "I don’t know."

He truly didn’t know.

But it was only self-deception.

Severe to this extent, still wanting to deceive himself that nothing was exposed was too naïve.

Ming Fuzhi couldn’t hold back: "You clearly said back then that the matter wouldn’t be exposed, you said no one can find the evidence!"

But what does the internal prohibition of the association mean?

As S-Rank players, they couldn’t be restrained by ordinary means. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Outsiders mentioned that S-Rank Spirit Card Masters from the military had come to the Mountain Ghost for on-site surveillance.

The Mountain Ghost’s S-Rank Spirit Card Masters might be good for competitive matches, but they were too lacking compared to soldiers who had been on the battlefield.

Normally, Yunxia’s military wouldn’t interfere with Imperial City’s internal affairs, and if they were deployed, it meant the matter wasn’t trivial.

Duan Yuleng was about to crumble: "How should I know the exact reasons? It was, it was them who promised. I can’t even contact my family now, what can you expect me to do?"

The Duan Family had considerable power, so who could prevent his family’s contact through ordinary channels?

It only showed that the highest-level authorities were alarmed!

Ming Fuzhi’s face almost twisted.

Thinking of the consequences, after a while, shockingly, he showed a twisted, terrifying smile: "Does it mean, are we done for because of this?"

He had just joined Mountain Ghost this year.

He could have showcased his skills and gained fame in the world championship.

He was about to become glorious, but who’d have thought, the unforeseen happened so quickly!
