"He... seems to be looking at us." Ye Ling gently pulled the corner of Duan Yu's clothes and said in a low voice.
Duan Yu followed Ye Ling's gaze, but only saw a bustling crowd, no men in black.
"Maybe you saw it wrong, don't worry." He rubbed Ye Ling's hair, his tone gentle and reassuring.
Despite what Duan Yu said, Ye Ling still felt uneasy.
The deep eyes of the man in black were engraved in her mind like a brand.
She always felt that something bad was about to happen.
But she tried hard to suppress this uneasiness in her heart. After all, today was the highlight of her life, and she didn't want to be affected by these negative emotions.
The cheers in the stadium gradually subsided, replaced by discussions one after another.
Many mecha enthusiasts gathered around and asked Ye Ling for modification techniques.
Ye Ling also generously shared her experiences and insights. Her in-depth and easy-to-understand explanations made even novices listen with great interest, and netizens directly called out "Master, please guide me."
"Master Ye Ling, your modification ideas are amazing! It's like an epiphany for me!" A young mecha enthusiast said excitedly, his eyes sparkling.
"It's nothing actually. I'm just lucky, hehe." Ye Ling smiled modestly.
"Lucky? Come on, you're clearly overwhelming them with pure strength!" another fan retorted, "You've left those old-timers dumbfounded!"
Ye Ling felt a little embarrassed by the compliments, but her heart was also filled with joy.
Once upon a time, she was just a loser who was laughed at by everyone, but now, she has become the focus of everyone's attention.
This feeling is so great!
Duan Yu looked at Ye Ling who was surrounded by the crowd. His girl finally blossomed with her own light.
"Ms. Ye Ling, congratulations on winning the championship." A man in a suit and tie walked over and handed over a business card. "I'm a representative of the Interstellar Mecha Alliance. We're very interested in your modification technology and hope to cooperate with you."
Ye Ling took the business card and felt something in her heart.
The "Interstellar Mecha Alliance" is the most authoritative mecha organization in the entire galaxy. Being recognized by them is undoubtedly a huge affirmation for her.
"I..." Ye Ling was about to agree, but suddenly felt a chill.
She subconsciously turned her head and saw a familiar figure flash by in the crowd.
The man in black appeared again!
"What's wrong?" Duan Yu noticed something was wrong with Ye Ling and asked with concern.
"I..." Ye Ling opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Nothing." Ye Ling shook her head and forced a smile. "Let's go."
Ye Ling took Duan Yu's hand and quickly left the stadium.
But she felt increasingly uneasy, always feeling that something was about to happen.
"Wait a minute," a cold voice came from behind, "We will meet again." After Ye Ling and Duan Yu left the arena, an undercurrent began to surge.
Those veteran mecha modifiers who were "beaten" by Ye Ling in the competition all looked uglier than if they had eaten a fly.
They gathered together like a flock of cooing doves, their tone sour.
"What kind of thing did this girl modify? It's simply unorthodox!" A white-haired old man snorted heavily, holding a thermos in his hand. If you didn't know, you would think he was going to the park to walk his bird.
"That's right! She's just trying to attract attention! She has no respect for tradition at all!" Another man wearing thick glasses pushed up his frames, a sinister glint flashing through his lenses. "We have to think of a way. We can't let her continue to be so arrogant."
"That's right, we have to teach her a lesson!" A burly man clenched his fists, and his joints crackled.
These old guys usually claim to be the leaders in the mecha modification industry, but now they have been overshadowed by an unknown little girl. How can they swallow this?
They began to spread rumors privately, saying that Ye Ling's modification technology was stolen, that her mecha used banned parts, and some even spread rumors that she won the competition by relying on connections.
For a time, all kinds of rumors spread like a virus in the mecha modification industry, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire circle.
Although Ye Ling tried her best to ignore the rumors, she could still feel the strange looks from people around her, which made her feel uncomfortable like needles pricking her.
Duan Yu noticed Ye Ling's uneasiness. He held her hand tightly and looked at her firmly, as if saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ye Ling felt the warmth of Duan Yu's palm, and a warm current surged in her heart.
She held Duan Yu's hand back, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
The two of them held hands and walked side by side on the bustling street. Everything around them seemed to disappear, leaving only them.
The lights from the roadside shone on them, forming a warm halo that tightly surrounded the two of them.
Suddenly, a sharp female voice broke the warm atmosphere: "Ye Ling! I have something to tell you!"
Ye Ling and Duan Yu turned around at the same time, only to see Jinx running towards them breathlessly, with a look of panic on her face...
apology?
"Ye Ling! I have something to say to you!" Jinx ran over breathlessly, with a panicked look on her face, as if she had just escaped from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
She grabbed Ye Ling's hand, her tone so sincere that she almost knelt down, "Ye Ling, I...I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been in cahoots with that scumbag Jace!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd around them immediately went into an uproar, whispering to each other and as excited as wild animals in a melon field.
