Chapter 1018

Wanqi Feng didn't say anything, but later he really slowed down his offensive. He was helping He Lingchuan deal with Yu Zecheng now, which was to accumulate a bit of merit and three points of thin face for his negotiation with He Lingchuan.

Under his intentional release of water and pulling, another two quarters of an hour passed, and Yu Zecheng became more and more anxious.

He suddenly said to He Lingchuan: "I'm going to the five-grain reincarnation."

After saying that, he walked upstairs.

If he wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom, that would be too insulting. He Lingchuan said "please" several times in a row, making a gesture for everyone not to stop him.

Anyway, the battle in the eastern part of Suoding Island had already ended, and it was too late for Yu Zecheng to go upstairs and remote control it now.

Yu Zecheng went upstairs and closed the door, looking at the tray again, dipping some water to write:

"Battle situation?"

After so long, the battle to surround Zhu Erniang should have had a result, right? But he still had to play chess downstairs, really anxious.

But he waited for a while, and there was no reaction on the tray.

The water stains were still water stains, those two words were still there, unchanged.

Yu Zecheng's heart sank.

Even if the team failed to hunt, they could give him some reaction on the way to retreat.

The eastern part of Suoding Island was some distance from here, and with the hurricane blocking, they couldn't arrive within two or three quarters of an hour.

Could it be?

The term "total annihilation" just floated in his mind before he crossed it out himself.

Impossible, absolutely impossible! Where did the guy surnamed He have that kind of strength, how could the Earth Cave Spider Queen and its offspring have that kind of strength? By the way, it was said that He Xiao could also mobilize Yin Hui, but after that kind of monster went ashore, it couldn't play much role in a battle of this magnitude.

Where exactly did the problem go wrong? He dipped water and wrote several times, but the message went out like a stone sinking into the sea, still without any response.

Half an incense stick of time passed, and a knocking sound came from the wooden door: "Mr. Yu?"

He Xiao's subordinate was urging him.

Yu Zecheng was about to walk out when the water stains on the tray suddenly condensed rapidly.

There was news! Yu Zecheng's spirit was lifted, only to see a few large characters clearly appearing on the tray, the strokes clanging—

Come play chess quickly.

At this moment, Yu Zecheng turned to stone.

And downstairs, Wanqi Feng saw He Lingchuan take out a mirror, first looking at himself in the mirror, tidying his clothes and brushing his sideburns, writing and drawing on it with his fingers, and then he couldn't help but laugh himself.

After a few more breaths, the wooden door of the guest room upstairs creaked open, and Yu Zecheng walked out, staring straight at He Lingchuan.

Wanqi Feng found his face ashen, his eyes looking like they were about to spray fire.

One in and one out, how did it become like this?

He Lingchuan waved the mirror in his hand at the upstairs, smiling brightly: "Mr. Yu, come down quickly, this game of chess isn't finished yet."

This smile looked dazzling to Yu Zecheng.

His gaze was strange, his mouth pursed into a straight line.

After a long while, he said: "Not playing anymore! He Xiao, you come up, let's open the skylight and speak clearly."

If this chessboard were on the table, he would have flipped it on the spot! "Not playing anymore?" He Lingchuan looked at the chessboard, a bit regretful, "Then is Mr. Yu admitting defeat?"

Yu Zecheng said gloomily: "You want to win that much?"

"You say that." He Lingchuan laughed, "Since the game has started, there must be a result; since there will be a result, then there must be a win or loss."

He looked at Wanqi Feng: "Who wins and who loses in the end of this round, what do you think?"

Wanqi Feng had a flash of inspiration, held the black piece and took two steps, then held the white piece and took three steps, and then said:

"Undoubtedly, Island Master He won."

He laid out the best moves for both sides, and the onlookers on the side also clicked their tongues and nodded: "Right, right, the best moves for the black pieces are these two."

"Then there is no way to save it."

"Lost for sure, the white pieces are almost flying away, the black pieces definitely won't make it in time."

"Good, this round is over." He Lingchuan raised his hand with satisfaction, and the waiter of the Nuanxiang Study immediately stepped forward to reset the pieces and wipe the chessboard.

"If any chess guests are itchy, why not come and experience it." He Lingchuan first greeted the guests around him properly, then said to Yu Zecheng upstairs, "I'm hungry, I haven't had a drop of water or a grain of rice all day, my chest is almost sticking to my back. Mr. Yu, how about we discuss while eating?"

Wanqi Feng stepped forward: "Island Master He..."

After playing chess, they still have to eat; are these two finished? Then when could he talk to Island Master He?

His four hundred clansmen were still outside in the wind and rain.

"You did well! There is punishment for faults, but there is also reward for merit, so I'll reward you with eating with us." He Lingchuan grabbed his arm and walked toward the back of the hall without saying a word.

The two stood close, but Wanqi Feng saw him reaching out to grab him and couldn't dodge! He subconsciously struggled, but He Lingchuan's five fingers were like steel bars, already clamped on the inside of his arm, while he tilted his head and said to Yu Zecheng: "Mr. Yu, please!"

Wanqi Feng's heart skipped a beat; Island Master He's cultivation was actually this good?

In fact, he still had the idea of getting close to He Lingchuan and capturing him as a hostage; after all, he had been on the island for several months, and everyone said Qiu Hu was better at fighting than Island Master He.

Now, he was glad he didn't act rashly, otherwise the situation would be even worse.

Several guards standing on the corridor roof on the second floor moved forward a few steps upon hearing the sound.

With this formation, Yu Zecheng had to go down even if he didn't want to; after all, he was standing on someone else's territory.

Seeing He Lingchuan had already turned and walked forward, he hummed and strode downstairs.

The chess was finished, and the people were gone; the guests of the Nuanxiang Study saw there was no excitement to watch, so they dispersed one after another.

Wang Xingyi's plainclothes guards then stood up, paid the tea fee, and left the Nuanxiang Study to report what they saw to their master.

Passing through the back hall of the Nuanxiang Study and then through a courtyard corridor, they reached the restaurant.

The restaurant of the Nuanxiang Study not only had a main hall and private rooms, but later there would also be special guest buildings for elegant guests to dine quietly.

But that was later.

Now He Lingchuan could only entertain distinguished guests in the existing private room; he, Wanqi Feng, and Yu Zecheng walked in, and more than a dozen guards stepped forward to stand around the private room, keeping idlers away.

The conversation here was too important to leak any wind.

Entering the private room, He Lingchuan pointed to the chair on the side and said "sit" to Wanqi Feng. The latter hesitated but sat down.

Yu Zecheng strode in, opening his mouth to seize the initiative:

"He Xiao, you have caused big trouble."

Everyone present understood his implication:

Beijia would never let it go! He Lingchuan wasn't scared either, finding a chair for himself and sitting down right opposite Yu Zecheng: "Mr. Yu has a heart, but you don't need to worry for me; you'd better solve your own urgent needs first. Come, please sit."

He made a "please" gesture at another chair, and Yu Zecheng hummed and sat down with great momentum.

Delicacies were immediately served like flowing water.

Three plates of mountain delicacies, three plates of sea flavors, all good ingredients.

With outsiders present, Yu Zecheng couldn't speak, after all, the content to be discussed was a bit shameful.
