This act made Qiao Lian want to laugh and cry at the same time.
Who forces milk tea on other people?
As she thought this, someone walked by behind Purple Fairy.
When the person brushed past, it appeared that Purple Fairy was shoved and she stumbled forward.
The box with boiling hot milk teas came flying straight at Qiao Lian’s face!
The heat of the hot drinks could be felt as the lids fell off.
Everyone gasped in shock.
Qiao Lian could already feel the steam against her face.
Right at this moment, a firm grip tightened around her arm as she was yanked out of the way.
And then…
A hiss…
“Arghhh!”
Cries of alarm were heard!
Startled, she turned her head at once and saw that Su Penghao’s hands had been scorched by the hot liquid.
And The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather, too, had bright red burn marks on the back of their hands!
The lounge was tiny to begin with. CQ team members had all gathered behind Qiao Lian in support of their coach, as she stood face to face with Purple Fairy.
When the hot milk tea came flying over, Su Penghao had instinctively pulled Qiao Lian aside to safety while taking the hit.
The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather, on the other hand, understood very well that Su Penghao was critical to the team and when they saw him taking the hit of the burning hot liquid, they instinctively acted to shield him too.
It was just human reflex to extend the hand…
Hence!
Purple Fairy’s boiling hot milk tea had landed on the hands of three people.
The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather suffered more serious burns, but even Su Penghao felt as though his ten fingers were on fire!
For one moment, everyone in the room was shocked.
Ancestor White Bones lunged forward and looked at the three pairs of injured hands. With burning anger, she glared at Purple Fairy.
Purple Fairy stood there with her hand over her mouth, staring at the scorched skin on the hands, and gave a cry of alarm, “Ahhh!”
She looked as though she was in greater agony than the three injured team members.
Qiao Lian was livid!
She glared at Purple Fairy fiercely.
Tightly clenching her fists with anger, she also felt a wave of warmth wash over her.
Even Su Penghao, who hated her and often went against her, had reflexively protected her at a critical moment.
If he hadn’t done that, there was a high chance that the milk tea would have landed on her face.
As she glared at Purple Fairy, she saw Lonely Peerless clenching his fists and stepping forward. Lonely Peerless had always been quiet, but among all the team members, he was the one who perhaps had the deepest understanding of what was going on.
Reaching his hand out, he grabbed Purple Fairy by her shirt and was about to deliver a punch when Qiao Lian quickly intervened. “Stop!”
She pulled Lonely Peerless away and in a low voice reminded him, “If you get into a fight before the match, you’ll be disqualified from the competition!”
Lonely Peerless was a person of few words. He stared at the Purple Fairy for a moment, then took a step back.
Qiao Lian looked at her nemesis straight in the eye.
She was determined to make Purple Fairy pay for this.
But not now. There would be plenty of time for that, after the competition.
Pointing at the doorway, she said to Purple Fairy, “Please leave right now!”
Purple Fairy sighed and tried to explain, “I didn’t do this on purpose…”
As she spoke, she looked up and her gaze met five pairs of bloodshot angry eyes. She immediately looked at Su Penghao and saw that he had his fists clenched, trembling with fury.
Even if she had actually been shoved and fallen holding the milk tea, most people would have spilled the liquid downwards instinctively, and not splash it upwards.
Besides, the temperature of this milk tea… Who the freaking h*ll buys tea at that temperature?
