Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

"How could Yu leave? If he has to leave, then so will I."

"Shui, how could you say that? Have you forgotten what he said before he left? He told you not to do anything rash."

"The competition is happening soon. Yu isn't the sort who runs off out of the blue! Something must be wrong." Shui sat down angrily.

GL Gaming Team had already made it into the top eight for the international competition and stood a high chance of coming in champion. However, the team suddenly made an announcement that Hero of the Universe was retiring from the gaming scene, and the news caught the world by storm.

"Why are you so sad?" A man's bright voice could suddenly be heard in the room and broke the silence.

"Yu!" Shui walked over to Han Yu right away and looked sad about him leaving. "Why did you agree to retire? Is there something you are not telling us? We can take care of it together!"

Han Yu stood at the door dressed in a minimalist black jacket and looked handsome. He patted Shui's shoulder comfortingly. "Enough. Just focus on the competition. I will be watching you from the spectator seats."

"Yu…" Everyone encircled Han Yu and wanted to find out what happened to make him leave at such a critical time.

Han Yu gestured for them to stop. "There is no point thinking about this. Enough. Continue practicing and don't disappoint me."

The moment Han Yu finished his sentence, he smiled and left the training room as everyone watched sadly. Everyone felt miserable watching as he left.

He was the man who led the GL Gaming Team to its heights, but now he was…

Everyone kept sighing in the training room.

Han Yu was deemed a miracle in the local and even the international gaming industry. All these years, he had been a legend.

All eyes were on him for the international competition, but he suddenly retired. In an instant, everyone in the gaming world was staggered by the news, including the local gaming industry.

Everyone kept talking about Hero of the Universe's retirement on Mu Sheng's channel.

[This is shocking news! Hero of the Universe announced his retirement a day before the competition. This is no different than desertion!]

[What happened? Why did this happen so suddenly? Why did he quit out of the blue? This is absurd. What has gotten into Hero of the Universe? Has he decided to run after scooping enough money?]

[This is so irresponsible of him. The competition is happening tomorrow, but the star gamer wants to quit. Don't you people keep saying how good Hero of the Universe is? Is this some joke?]

The fans were very agitated by the sudden news and kept commenting about it.

After Mu Sheng finished a game, she saw all the comments about Hero of the Universe appearing on the screen.

Mu Sheng knew about Han Yu. When she first started doing live telecasts, she did research about the game and checked out a lot of videos, and she happened to see footage of Han Yu's gameplay during a competition.

In Mu Sheng's opinion, people gave away their personality and character through their tactics and moves in-game. Han Yu was not a heartless man capable of deserting the team like what the viewers said.

Mu Sheng finally said when the scolding started to get out of hand, "If you don't know what happened, you shouldn't be so quick to judge."

The audience became even more agitated when they heard what she said and angry comments kept appearing on the screen. They were already very disappointed that there was no chance for the Chinese national team to come in champion with Han Yu's departure. Now, Mu Sheng spoke up for Han Yu.

Li Hanchen was working next door with the laptop on.

Li Hanchen raised his head the moment he heard what Mu Sheng said and contemplated.

Did Mu Sheng know Han Yu?

People were already talking about Mu Sheng cheating. After what she said on the live telecast, Mu Sheng and Han Yu became the hottest topic online.

Also, the coach who accused Mu Sheng of cheating was none other than Liu Jun, GL Gaming Team's coach.

[Do Han Yu and Mu Sheng know each other? Why else would she defend him?]

[I am curious. Liu Jun accused Mu Sheng of cheating. Mu Sheng spoke up for Han Yu. Don't tell me Han Yu is the one helping her cheat?]

GL Gaming Team's coach sent a post on social media that night.

@GL Gaming Team Liu: [Do not think highly of yourself just because you managed to find someone to help you play. You have no right to judge the things going on in the gaming industry.]

Despite naming no names, Liu Jun was clearly talking about Mu Sheng in his post.

[Does this mean Mu Sheng really hired someone to fight her battles? Didn't she show her face and game to prove her innocence previously? It certainly didn't look like cheating to me.]

[Don't be naive. If someone wants to cheat, there are countless ways to do it. Don't you remember the guy who was caught cheating earlier? He simply recorded the gaming in advance before posting it online.]

[Han Yu deserted the team, but Mu Sheng supported him. Those two really deserve each other.]

"Mu Sheng has the backing of Flourishing Age Group. Do you think it is a good idea to publicly embarrass her?" said the team assistant cautiously as he looked at Liu Jun.

"Pftt. Flourishing Age Group…" Liu Jun touched his name tag. "Why should I be afraid? Did I mention Mu Sheng's name in my post?"

"Did Mu Sheng really get Han Yu to help her game?" The assistant was a little puzzled. Han Yu was forced to quit the team because he refused to take on advertising stints. Since he refused to help provide returns, the investors naturally wanted him off the team.

Would someone like Han Yu help someone else cheat? It was simply inconceivable.

Liu Jun's hands froze. "Of course. Do you think Mu Sheng is capable of such gaming skills?"

The assistant shook his head. "Certainly not."

He had seen Mu Sheng game and agreed that Han Yu was the only person capable of gaming like that.

"Go find out what Han Yu is doing." Liu Jun put down his name tag. "Leave the rest to me."

"Okay."

Han Yu had incurred public wrath by deserting the team when they needed him the most. Now that he was involved in Mu Sheng's cheating, everyone naturally hated them. Thanks to these accusations of cheating, Mu Sheng's popularity went downhill.

The Tiger Shark manager was at the filming location entrance waiting for Mu Sheng again. The moment she saw him, she looked annoyed. "Leave."

"Miss Mu, have you reconsidered my suggestion? We can get Liu Jun to clarify and make the problem go away. I am sure you have no wish of getting embroiled in this gossip, right?"

"No, thanks." Mu Sheng walked around the manager and left. The manager was unable to stop her.

"Why are you so strange? No matter what I try, nothing works." After the manager got rejected yet again, he finally lost all hope. "Since you refuse to join us, then you have to disappear from the live telecast industry. Let's see how long you can keep up this attitude."

Tang Tiantian glanced from a distance. "Sheng, are you in trouble?"

"I'm fine." Mu Sheng suddenly recalled she had not seen Jiang Tian in a few days as she walked. "Where is Tian?"

"I don't know either." Tang Tiantian found this odd as well. "Tian used to disappear without a warning for a couple of days, but he usually came back quickly. I don't know what happened this time. He has disappeared for such a long time. Do you think we need to call the cops?"

Mu Sheng halted in her steps. "Couldn't you get in touch with him?"

"Uh uh." Tang Tiantian nodded. Initially, she felt this was normal. As time progressed, she started to get worried.

"Let's call the cops then."

The moment she finished her sentence, Tang Tiantian took out her phone to call the police department. Just as she was about to finish entering the number, her phone suddenly rang.

Tang Tiantian's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the caller ID on her screen. "It's Tian."

Tang Tiantian answered the phone right away. Jiang Tian sounded tired as he spoke, "Why did you call me so many times? I am fine. Don't worry. I will bring you some food when I go to the office in a minute."

"Great." Tang Tiantian heaved a sigh of relief when she found out Jiang Tian was okay. She looked at Mu Sheng. "Tian is fine. He's back. Let's go."

"Sure." Mu Sheng nodded as they headed towards the car park.

After starting the car, Mu Sheng did not go back to the villa right away. Instead, she drove off in the opposite direction.

Mu Sheng's car pulled up in front of a fabric store roughly 30 minutes later where she collected the fabric she had ordered.

Li Hanchen and Li An were already waiting for her in the living room when she got back.

Li An ran over to help carry all the things Mu Sheng had bought. "What did you buy, Sis-in-Law?"

"Fabric."

Li An glanced at the brightly colored fabric. "Why did you get so much fabric?"

"I need it for a banquet."

Mu Sheng had intended on getting it custom made, but she had spent all her earnings on both their cars. Since she only had $1,200 left, she could only buy fabric and make something on her own.

Although Zhang Man offered her a gown, she would be a fool to wear it.

Zhang Man simply wanted to take the opportunity to make Mu Sheng look bad.

Mu Sheng was not about to let Zhang Man have her way.

Li Hanchen glanced at the fabric in Li An's hands. "Do you know how to design?"

Mu Sheng nodded. "A little."

Although she had never actually done it, she had seen a lot of design books in her past life.

"I know a tailor. If you give me the design, I can get him to make it for you," said Li Hanchen as he looked at her slender flawless hands.

"Perfect." Mu Sheng was pleased with the offer. She knew how to sew, but it was bound to be faster if he could get done by a professional.

The moment she finished her sentence, Mu Sheng went upstairs to change into her home wear.

Li An sat on the couch until Mu Sheng disappeared from the staircase. He nudged Li Hanchen with his elbow. "Big Bro."

"What?" Li Hanchen spoke coolly as usual.

Li An looked at Li Hanchen curiously with his big bright eyes. "Do you like Sis-in-Law?"

Even though Li An already knew the answer in his heart, he wanted to hear it from Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen raised his brow as he looked at Li An coldly. "Have you finished your homework?"

In the past, he could get away with anything as long as it was about Mu Sheng, but it was useless now.

Li An said smugly, "I've already finished my homework, so you have to answer my question."

Li Hanchen turned his head quietly and read the paper without answering Li An.

Li An sneered, "Even if you don't admit it, I know the answer since I am your beloved little brother. Big Bro, if you like Sis-in-Law, why can't you take more initiative? She is pretty and talented. Aren't you worried someone else might steal her from you?"

Li Hanchen contemplated imperceptibly.

"I mean seriously…" Li An wanted to speak but noticed Li Hanchen tapping a couple of times on his phone before a string of revision material appeared on the screen.

"Pick something," said Li Hanchen succinctly.

Li An was stunned. He closed his mouth and inched away from Li Hanchen before sitting down on the other end of the couch. "I shouldn't have done that. I will stop now, okay?"

His older brother was the devil incarnate!

Li An could not help feeling worried as he looked at Li Hanchen's cool profile.

When would his older brother finally succeed in getting the girl considering how cold he is? This wouldn't do. Li An had to come up with something and create the perfect romantic opportunity for his older brother to win Mu Sheng.

Three hours later…

Li Hanchen finished his work and Mu Sheng had wrapped up her live telecast.

Li Hanchen turned off the computer to go to bed.

However, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The moment Li Hanchen finished his sentence, Li An popped his head in and said anxiously, "Big Bro, there are cockroaches in Sis-in-Law's room. I don't dare to catch them. Can you hurry up and get them?"

Li Hanchen did not budge. "How could there be any cockroaches in this season?"

Li An went speechless. Did his older brother really have to think about nature at a time like this? He quickly continued, "I don't know what insect it is for sure, but I can tell you it looks disgusting. Hurry up and take a look. Otherwise, Sis-in-Law will have to catch it herself."

Li An shrank his head the moment he finished his sentence.

Li Hanchen hesitated, but he eventually left the room and knocked on Mu Sheng's door.

Mu Sheng had just finished streaming and was getting ready to bathe, so she had a towel over her shoulder. "Yes?"

"Li An said…" Before Li Hanchen could finish his sentence, someone suddenly shoved him into the room from behind.

"Big Bro, I can see a cockroach!" shouted Li An at the top of his lungs as he shut the door and placed a professional anti-theft lock that he had purchased online on the door.

Li An knocked on the door after he had done this and said, "Big Bro? I don't know why, but the door refuses to open. Can you open the door from inside?"

Veins popped up on Li Hanchen's forehead as he suppressed his fury and said, "Open the door."

"I tried! What's going on? Why can't I open the door?" Despite Li An's immense fear that Li Hanchen would pick a bone with him once he got out, he boldly lied. "Oh no. I really can't open this door. I am going to bed, but I will send for a locksmith to fix this tomorrow."

Li An leaned on the door to listen before furtively leaving.

He shook his head as he walked away.

This was as far as he could help. His older brother had to work hard.

Li Hanchen stood at the door wearing only one slipper and looked particularly angry.

His other slipper had accidentally fallen off when Li An shoved him into the room.
