I Just Won't Play By The Book

349 The Expert Who Exploits the Void (1)

“Eighteen to four, sharp.”

In the small house, Mo Xia’s expression froze when Jiang Beiran placed a black stone in his hand. She had already thought of how to place the white stone, but she could not place it down.

Looking at Mo Xia’s slightly trembling left hand and her tightly clenched fist, Jiang Beiran said,””It’s a good idea to rely on the flames of war that are triggered at the corner to spread to the entire area and provoke a full-scale battle with my black pieces, but… If I didn’t want to fight, then there wouldn’t even be a spark.”

Mo Xia understood what her senior brother meant and sighed. She lowered her head and said,”I admit defeat…”

Smiling, Jiang Beiran sat up straight and asked,””Do you know why your plan failed?”

“Because…Because Shixiong has long seen through me.” Mo Xia lowered her head and replied.

“No, it’s because you wanted to use my underestimation of the enemy to plant a trap for me, but you didn’t know… I’ve never underestimated you.”

Mo Xia slowly raised his head when he heard his senior brother’s words. He slowly released his clenched fists.

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Mo Xia bowed deeply and started to clean up the chessboard.

“Have you been cultivating well recently?” Jiang Boran asked casually.

Mo Xia replied seriously,””Reporting to Senior Brother, every day I will take out 10 hours to cultivate.”

“Did you encounter any bottlenecks?”

Mo Xia shook his head and replied,”My cultivation is still very low. I’m not at a bottleneck.” ”

“There’s no need to belittle yourself. No one said that one won’t encounter bottlenecks with low cultivation. If you really encounter difficulties, don’t hide it in your heart because you’re afraid of losing face.”

“Yes, sir! I will obey your orders.”

As he spoke, Mo Xia had already cleaned up the chessboard and picked up a white stone eagerly.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!” Jiang Beiran nodded with a smile.

..

At midnight, Mo Xia held the Yinglong chessboard and bowed to Jiang Beiran at the door. She then closed the door and prepared to return to her room with cheerful steps.

However, after taking two steps, Mo Xia felt as if he was being stared at by that terrifying gaze again.

The reason why he said that was because he had felt this kind of gaze many times. Mo Xia also wanted to tell his senior brother, but he did not want to cause trouble for his senior brother because of these small matters. After all, the person who was watching him in the dark did not do anything substantial.

Mo Xia thought that he was a low-key person and had never offended any of his fellow disciples. Who was the one who kept staring at him?

Also, he didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that this gaze was getting more and more terrifying.

After taking two steps forward, Mo Xia suddenly turned around, but all he saw was darkness.

Mo Xia took a deep breath and stopped looking for the person in the dark. He quickly returned to his room as usual.

On the hill, Lin Yuyan bit her lips as she watched Lin Yuyan return to her nest like a rabbit. Her nails dug deep into the ground.

If it wasn’t for the fact that she had confirmed several times that Mo Xia’s chest was indeed flat and that he didn’t have an Adam’s apple, Lin Yuyan would have already gone berserk.

‘I want to go in too…’

Although she had been camping on the slope opposite Jiang Beiran’s house for five years, Lin Yuyan had never entered Jiang Beiran’s house. She could only watch from afar.

However, Lin Yuyan did not think much of it because her senior brother was always cold to everyone. However, someone was able to enter her dream house every few days, and it was when her senior brother was around.

This simply made her jealous beyond recognition!

‘Senior Brother just wanted to find someone to play chess with and happened to pick him. As long as Senior Brother is happy, I’m happy…’

As she spoke, the soil that Lin Yuyan had dug into was completely crushed into powder.

“Ha…”

Lin Yuyan let out a breath of turbid air and calmed herself down again. She remembered her mission today.

“Senior Brother…Senior Brother…”

In the hut, Jiang Beiran, who was preparing to pack up and head to the back of the mountain, heard Lin Yuyan’s voice transmission.

Sighing, Jiang Beiran opened the door and replied,””What is it?”

“Senior brother, I heard about a place called Mei Zhao Lin. Rumor has it that the Blue Luan once lived there. I thought you would be interested, so I came to tell you.”

“Blue Luan?”

Jiang Beiran raised an eyebrow and looked interested.

There were five types of divine birds among the mutated beasts, known as the Five Phoenixes.

Red is phoenix, yellow is phoenix, blue is phoenix, purple is phoenix, white is swan.

As one of the five phoenixes, the Blue Luan naturally had heaven-piercing abilities.

The Blue Luan was also known as the Blue Luan. Legend had it that when the Blue Luan spread its wings, it could cover the entire sky and look down on the earth like the heavens.

Although the Blue Luan was also listed as a mutated beast, the legends that accompanied it were all very auspicious.

It was rumored that the place where the Blue Luan resided would become a paradise of hope. Everything would become full of vitality, and those who saw the Blue Luan with their own eyes would obtain happiness.

The probability of rare treasures appearing in a place where such a divine bird had once rested was rather high, which was why Jiang Beiran’s curiosity was instantly ignited.

“Where did the news come from?”

Hearing her senior brother’s response, Lin Yuyan clenched her fists secretly. She knew that she had succeeded.

Ever since the couple quarreled, Lin Yuyan had been thinking about how to make her husband no longer angry.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he could not think of a foolproof solution.

Because if he gave her something directly, her senior brother would definitely not accept it. Lin Yuyan had tried this many times.
