To be fair, the reason he transposed the drinking ga from his past life to this one was not simply to prevent his junior martial sisters from drinking. Instead, he wanted to use the opportunity to coax so secrets from Yurong, Youwei, and the others! And he, Lin Xiao, was a master at playing this Heaven's Secret Disk! He was known in the Cultivation World as Chen Daozi, the Gambling Fiend of the Qinglan Sect!
After Lin Xiao's explanation, all the young won present understood the rules of the ga. To put it simply, it was just a matter of reinterpreting the words inscribed on the dial. For example, if the pointer landed on "Have," it ant a pass, and it was the next person's turn. If it pointed to "Not Have," one had to choose either "Truth" or "Dare."
"Hmm... this ga sounds quite interesting! Co on, let's try it!"
To Lin Xiao's surprise, the first one to express excitent was his beautiful Master!
Hey! Master, as the Chairman of our lineage, could you please try to be a bit more composed in front of Martial Uncle Su!
He sighed inwardly.
Since activating the Heaven's Secret Disk required a certain foundation of Mana, and also considering his true intentions, Lin Xiao ultimately decided to start with a small ga involving just a few people. The participants he envisioned were, naturally, his three junior martial sisters, his Master, and the two great beauties from Phoenix Caw Peak.
Upon hearing Lin Xiao's plan, Su i stretched languidly and said, "I'm too lazy to play such a childish ga. You little ones can play by yourselves."
Lin Xiao knew that this Martial Uncle Su always liked to compete with his own Master, so he deliberately provoked, "Ah, Martial Uncle Su, you're mistaken there."
"This ga, more than anything, tests one's control over their spiritual power."
"How about this: our family of four... ah, no, our master and three disciples, against you and your disciple. Let's compete to see who gets penalized fewer tis? Is Martial Uncle Su perhaps not confident enough?"
"Tsk tsk, little fellow, you've got quite a silver tongue..."
Su i glanced at Lin Xiao with a smile that was not quite a smile. This look actually carried a hint of coquettish charm, causing a tremor to run through Lin Xiao.
Damn it, as expected of the Hehuan Sect's chief Saintess, known in the original story for her innate seductive nature!
Su i then looked at Zhu Wanning beside her. "Wanning, do you want to play?"
"Disciple..."
Zhu Wanning had intended to refuse, but when her gaze inadvertently t those handso eyes, her heart couldn't help but flutter, and as if compelled, she nodded!
"Very well. Since you're interested, we'll play with your Martial Uncle Xiao and his disciples."
Su i shrugged her fragrant shoulders and then, perhaps because it was too warm, she removed her outermost layer of rainbow-feathered clothes.
After so preparations, the ga officially began. Six young won and one young man gathered around a table.
To demonstrate, Lin Xiao held his breath, focused his mind, ford a hand seal, and was the first to send a strand of spiritual sense towards the Heaven's Secret Disk!
SNAP!
With a crisp sound, the pointer on the Heaven's Secret Disk spun wildly three tis before finally hovering over a "Have" engraving. According to the ga rules, he had passed perfectly.
"Eldest Senior Brother! I understand the rules now! I... I want to go first!"
Just then, an excited young woman's voice was heard. Lin Xiao looked up and saw it was Fourth Junior Martial Sister, Lu Yingying. After tonight's... profound interaction, he could no longer look at this junior martial sister in the eye!
"Uh... alright, you go then," Lin Xiao said sowhat awkwardly.
"Mhm, okay!"
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Yingying stood up, aid at the center of the Heaven's Secret Disk, and shot out a strand of spiritual sense!
The pointer spun furiously!
Finally—
It stopped, pointing to the "Not Have" character.
"Hmm, it's indeed ingeniously designed."
"So, Xiao'er, does this an Yingying now has to choose between 'Dare' and 'Truth'?" Xiao Hongling asked, placing a finger to her lips. Her phoenix eyes sparkled, like a curious child, completely devoid of her usual domineering aura.
"Yes, Master."
Lin Xiao lowered his head and said to Lu Yingying, "Junior Martial Sister Yingying, as I explained, you now choose either 'Truth' or 'Dare.'"
"Oh, okay." Lu Yingying nodded, her eyes darting thoughtfully. "Yingying doesn't like adventures, so I'll choose 'Truth'!"
"Alright, then as the winner of the previous round, I get to ask you the truth question!"
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, his gaze intense as he looked at the young woman before him. "Junior Martial Sister, as we just discussed, when playing this ga, you must be completely sincere. Otherwise..." He deliberately added, "...the questioner will suffer misfortune in their later years!"
"Don't worry, Eldest Senior Brother! Yingying would never lie to you!" Seeing the serious expression on the face of the one she admired, Lu Yingying was so anxious she was on the verge of tears.
"Good." Lin Xiao enunciated each word clearly, "Yingying, has there ever been a mont when you successfully foresaw a future event?"
Hearing this, Lu Yingying's small face tensed. Nearby, Guo Yourong and Chu Youwei, who had been chatting, also showed slight changes in their expressions.
"Replying to Eldest Senior Brother, Yingying... has had such an experience." Suddenly, Lu Yingying lowered her head and answered.
With this admission, the expressions of the other six beauties at the table clearly beca sowhat unnatural, and they fell silent.
Lin Xiao, however, was inwardly ecstatic, a tempest of emotions surging within him!
It's true! This girl has practically confird it! She's either a reincarnator or, by so stroke of luck, obtained a supre divination treasure that allows her to see the future! Excellent! I've successfully caught one! Next up are Yurong, Youwei, and Master! Tonight, none of these won who once did everything to stop from completing the storyline will escape!
