A few minutes after Luo Wusheng entered the room.
"...You call this winning?"
Yue Xuanji looked at the young man in front of her as if he were an idiot.
On the other side of the board, Luo Wusheng pointed to the row of pieces in a line and nodded seriously: "Yes, five in a row, I won."
The white-haired loli fell into deep thought.
Luo Wusheng naturally knew what she was thinking.
Probably sothing like, "Is this guy’s brain working correctly?"
But he was helpless too.
This black-and-white piece ga, this was the only one he knew. What else could he do?
Did he not know what kind of high-level chess players like Yue Xuanji enjoyed? If he could play those, wouldn’t he want to have a few high-class gas to elevate his status?
The problem was he couldn’t play those gas.
So he could only try to bring his opponent’s level down to his own, and then rely on his experience to defeat her.
However, this supposedly all-seeing Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower didn’t see through his little sche... Did she think it wasn’t worth using her [Art of Divination] for a ga?
Luo Wusheng was thinking this when he heard Yue Xuanji, instead of getting angry, let out a light laugh: "I see, a ga with these rules... It suits soone like you."
’Suits a rough brute like ?’
He silently complained in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, and he cleared his throat.
"Ahem, Miss Yue, you didn’t co here just to play chess with , did you? Is there anything I should pay attention to when the good luck event co?"
"Hmm? Didn’t I already give you the jade slip? You’ll know when the ti cos what preparations I made and what to watch out for." Yue Xuanji shook her head slightly. "Don’t worry, the 20 Star-Moon Jades you owe are definitely worth it."
Luo Wusheng looked puzzled: "Then why did Miss Yue co here..."
"I saw you waiting early in the Wandering Immortal Inn and worried you might get bored, so I ca to pass the ti with you."
"???"
What kind of reason is this? Did she really co just to play chess with him?
’But this implies... The event that she talked about might not start imdiately tomorrow? Otherwise, if we play too long, wouldn’t it cause delays?’
While making guesses in his mind, Luo Wusheng looked at the board and saw the newly placed pieces disappearing in a few flickers.
And Yue Xuanji, with her Star-Moon Jade chain, had new pieces appearing in her hand again.
"Let’s play another ga by your rules; there’s plenty of ti..."
The little loli placed her piece on the board.
Luo Wusheng hesitated for a mont but didn’t want to offend his backer, so he placed his piece too.
"Why is Miss Yue hiding her aura?"
Taking the opportunity, Luo Wusheng asked.
He was naturally asking about Xiao Yuli.
"Why indeed... Why don’t you guess?"
"Is it because she’s related to the upcoming event?"
Hearing his question, Yue Xuanji’s lips curved slightly, but she didn’t answer imdiately. After placing another piece, she smiled playfully and said:
"There are quite a few people related to it..."
...
Deep within the Imperial Palace.
The Empress, standing alone in the hall, wore her imperial robe, her expression serious.
For so reason, the dragon fortune she had refined inside her body beca exceptionally active at this mont.
The dragon fortune fluctuating was not a good sign.
"Is sothing about to happen again?"
She furrowed her brows.
The previous inexplicable disappearance of the dragon fortune’s eye was already strange enough.
Now, just a few days later, another change had occurred within her refined dragon fortune.
Could there really be other Netherkins left in the capital city, capable of influencing her refined dragon fortune with so mysterious power?
But that was too incredible. What kind of powerful Netherkin could do this silently?
After a mont of thought, the Empress gently raised her hand.
Starlight gathered under her palm, forming a dragon shape.
Soon, the Empress noticed a highlight.
’The eye again?’
Looking at the constantly swirling starlight in the dragon’s eye, as if sothing was being nurtured, the stunning young Empress finally showed a puzzled expression.
As the master of this dragon fortune, she couldn’t understand what was happening either.
Could the dragon fortune be automatically repairing its lost eye?
Having never encountered such a situation before, and with no records in ancient texts left by predecessors, she could only guess and be prepared for any possible unexpected changes.
Ti passed by the minute and second.
Gradually, the day ca to an end.
And in that ti, the thing in the dragon fortune’s eye beca increasingly clear, at least now forming a ring shape.
This ring seed sowhat familiar...
As the thought crossed her mind, the dragon fortune’s fluctuations suddenly stopped.
The ti coincided with the mont when two days t.
The thing in the dragon fortune’s empty eye instantly took shape.
Before the beautiful young Empress could see clearly, it turned into a stream of light and fell onto her right wrist.
Feeling the strange yet familiar sensation, the Empress was stunned.
’This can’t be...’
Looking at the bracelet on her wrist, made of a beautiful moon jade adorned with three stars, she felt it was absurd.
This bracelet was exactly like the one given to her in a dream by a certain Holy Saint of the Demon Sect!
But that was just a dream!
The young ruler of the Immortal Nation was confused, even wondering if she was still dreaming.
But realizing this was not a dream, thoughts of a certain young man began to fill her mind.
’Could the change in dragon fortune really be related to him? But...’
She had always interacted with the Holy Saint in her Mortal Alter Ego; her Imperial Alter Ego had never spoken to him... So why would this bracelet appear on her wrist instead of her Mortal Alter Ego’s?
Even after syncing the mories of the past two days with her Mortal Alter Ego, she found no such anomalies.
’It seems... I’ll have to et him in person this ti.’
The Empress’s eyes sparkled, her heartbeat quickening slightly.
She had originally planned to et the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint as the Empress soon, having many questions to ask him formally.
But after hearing Wutong’s words and making so judgnts, she had been delaying the eting due to so inexplicable emotions that arose whenever she thought of him.
Even three days ago, when her Mortal Alter Ego t Luo Wusheng, she had to rely on her imnse willpower and a mask to hide her feelings.
But now, having decided to et formally, as a ruler, she wouldn’t procrastinate.
"Hmm... After dawn, I’ll go see him personally."
Since there were things she needed to confirm, it was better to et privately than to summon him officially.
