Ever since Chu Yang arrived, he continued to ponder about Cheng Zi Ang’s answer. He suddenly beca increasingly suspicious of what was happening. Young waterlon seed? Isn’t this...
With one sweep, Chu Yang took in his surroundings and asked himself. If I was Tang Xin Sheng, what would I do? Where would I hide?
Chu Yang began to analyse and think deeper, trying to approach things from Tang Xin Sheng’s perspective...
I am still unsure about the situation. Bu Tian Pavilion has not taken any action against and for the mont, I just need to be careful. For the ti being, I will hide and see how they react. If there is indeed sothing, I will imdiately make my escape. If not, I will return and tell everyone that I went to et so friends... Hmmm, this should be what Tang Xin Sheng was thinking.
So if Tang Xin Sheng is still here looking out for movent at the Tang Manor. Moreover, the area around here extends in many different directions. If I wanted to watch the entire situation and get a bird’s eye view of Tang Manor, where would I choose to position myself?
Cheng Zi Ang would definitely not choose the best location in order to avoid people’s attention. In fact, the best position would be one where he was being monitored and there would be people watching. The worst position would still have been the sa! If Cheng Zi Ang did not choose those position, then Tang Xin Sheng, who was wise as well would not either!
Chu Yang realised that he would have chosen sothing slightly less than ideal. The position currently occupied was as such.
Chu Yang’s eyes swept around, in search of good positions to observe Tang Manor from. If the first two were okay, then it was likely that it was the third!
Chu Yang looked in the direction of the two old n playing chess under the tree.
Both of the n had white hair and appeared to be over the age of sixty as their faces were full of wrinkles. They were concentrating on the chess board that they had in front of them. Between the two, the one facing Chu Yang was relaxed and seed content as he fanned himself with a paper fan. The other seed a little apprehensive and held his head down as though looking for a way to break the formation of his opponent.
These two old n were in great spirits. They were so old, and can still sit so comfortably like that...
Chu Yang’s mind was piqued. He gave Cheng Zi Ang a mysterious wink.
"Two brothers! Both of you must be tired from playing chess. Please have so waterlon seeds! Haha!" Cheng Zi Ang slowly staggered over. With a humble smile, he placed a handful of waterlon seeds on the table. He then continued with a voice which displayed a little bit of envy, "you two are really lucky. Both of you have been playing chess for the past two days and don’t seem to have a worry in the world! Unfortunately for , I still have to work hard all day in order to make a living at my age!"
The man with the content face smiled and said, "You are also very lucky! Is not having a healthy body the greatest blessing of all?" His voice was old but exceedingly graceful.
Cheng Zi Ang nodded repeatedly in agreent and returned to his old spot.
Playing chess for two consecutive days... Chu Yang had an epiphany. He reached a conclusion. As he looked at the tree trunk, he leisurely walked over to the two old n playing chess as he bent down and looked at the chess board.
"This setup is not easy to break out of..." Chu Yang clicked his tongue over and over again, "Good! This is really good..."
The old man contemplating imdiately turned and glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you even know how to play chess?" It seed as if all of the suppressed anger just erupted as he vented it on this nosy brat.
"Uh. Look at this position; staying won’t work, and leaving is not okay. The middle is even worse. Your opponent’s setup is quite sharp. Here as well; at first glance, it looks like a good position, but it’s filled with hidden danger. You truly cannot break out..." Chu Yang opened his fan and fanned himself. Then he folded it up again and pointed to a spot on the chess board.
Chu Yang’s words made Cheng Zi Ang jump! He clearly was clueless about chess, but those words of Chu Yang were implying sothing else... That fool! ... Isn’t he talking about Tang Xin Sheng’s current situation?
Could it be that I have been sitting here for two whole days and the target was behind ? Thinking of this, Hall Leader Cheng just wanted to hide his head in a hole...
He had vowed that he would capture Tang Xin Sheng no matter what. Yet, he was unable to even realise that his target had been sitting behind him all along... This... this... was truly embarrassing.
"Huh? In your opinion, what should be done?" That content old man smiled and asked Chu Yang.
"In my humble opinion, this ga... you should let it fly!" The paper fan on Chu Yang’s hand opened once again, and he fanned it a few tis. He said eloquently, "Even a little delay would not be good. Don’t you think that’s right? Official Tang!"
The mont Chu Yang finished, the atmosphere suddenly beca tense. The other old man next to Chu Yang suddenly stiffened his back.
Cheng Zi Ang imdiately stood up, and quickly turned to look at the old man behind him in disbelief; his face beca red as blood.
This is too shaful! I should just die!
I can’t believe I made such a mistake...
The countenance of the old man facing Chu Yang did not change. He calmly said, "Fly how? Is there such a thod? Your words are too confusing for to understand..."
"I also find it hard to understand... there is also so disbelief as well." Chu Yang chuckled, "I didn’t understand the phrase ’Finding by sheer luck after searching far and wide’ until now. Official Tang, don’t you think my words made a lot of sense?"
The white-haired old man flashed a smile in his eyes and said, "I still don’t understand; why do you keep insisting that I am Official Tang?"
"Look up, the country spreads for thousands of miles, the blue sky is endless... Looking down, there’s not much fa and glory, only a handful of sand..." Chu Yang said casually.
These two sentences were written by Tang Xin Sheng, a general of Iron Cloud, an Iron Soul, who perished in battle. When Chu Yang read it, it seed to have a different added aning.
It also completely dispelled any denial on Tang Xin Sheng’s part.
His cover had been blown and trying to continue lying would just be silly.
Tang Xin Sheng stood up and smiled, "Your mory is truly good."
"I am flattered." Cupping his hands together, Chu Yang smiled.
"Surely you must be the legendary Minister of Bu Tian Pavilion, King of Hell Chu, right?" Tang Xin Sheng remained calm as before, without the least bit of anxiety. But as he said this, he imdiately showed a trace of despair.
It’s King of Hell Chu, again!
He seems to be the most ferocious man in Iron Cloud!
"I do not dare; that vulgar nickna has soiled Official Tang’s ears." Chu Yang said humbly.
"I never thought such a fierce na amongst the people, one sword that sheds blood in Iron Cloud, King of Hell Chu would turn out to be so young and handso like this!" Tang Xin Sheng said spiritedly; his voice was cool and clear, "But I still don’t understand how you found . How were you able to know that I would be here?"
"I was only hoping." Chu Yang said frankly, "If I had tried this thod with idiots, it would be useless. But with one of incredible intelligence like Official Tang, I had to try my luck! I originally only ca to look around, but when I got here, I was sure that you were Tang Xin Sheng!"
"Huh?" Tang Xin Sheng felt really curious and looked at him with a suspicious gaze.
"You can easily watch Tang Manor from here. Although there were other places that are even better, they would only bring you more attention. Moreover, there is a large tree to provide shade here and there have always been people playing chess under it. Clearly, Official Tang had planned this from the start. Once you were in disguise, sitting here would not arouse any suspicions..." Chu Yang smiled.
"Yes." Tang Xin Sheng showed a trace of admiration as his gaze gradually sharpened.
"However, Official Tang was still unsure whether or not I would make a move on you or not. Hence this was a good position to watch out for any sort of movents. Although it might have been dangerous, from here you would be able to wait for the support of your people. If anything were to happen inside your ho, you would be able to glance over and see what was happening."
"Official Tang is calm and resourceful. The most dangerous place is sotis the safest place. Official Tang must know this. The truth is if Official Tang went straight to Bu Tian Pavilion that would have been the safest!" Chu Yang smiled gently, "So, I would like to invite Official Tang to the safest hiding place!"
Tang Xin Sheng shook his head and chuckled with amusent, "Not bad. You are worthy of the na King of Hell Chu." He paused a little, and his eyes narrowed, "But why didn’t you make a move right away, instead of talking nonsense with ?"
"You should know that loose lips sink ships. You are the fad King of Hell Chu, how could you not know this?" Tang Xin Sheng’s pupils constricted and shot a radiance as sharp as a needle.
"Because there was sothing unexpected!" Chu Yang calmly smiled and said, "Because I did not anticipate that a scholarly official like you would be a top-level martial master! I was unsure of sothing."
"And Official Tang probably chose not to make a move because of your rage." Chu Yang laughed, "Your perfect plans being foiled by another. Plus, your cover was carefully picked, and yet you were still discovered. This is insulting to an intelligent person like you! I am sure Official Tang would rather die than suffer a humiliation like this!"
"So Official Tang toyed with ." Chu Yang mocked, "Official Tang wanted to wait until after I revealed everything. And at my most triumphant mont, you would humiliate . After which, you would use your incredible martial skill to escape!"
"Or directly kill right on the spot!" Chu Yang said casually, "Official Tang, did I get anything wrong?"
"Well said!" Tang Xin Sheng slowly stood up and said, "I have painstakingly planned for thirteen years, and you managed to destroy everything in just an instant. Moreover, you dared to co here personally. How could I possibly not kill you for how you have humiliated ?"
He grunted coldly, "Bu Tian Pavilion is only a toy in my eyes. If you don’t have the ability to capture , then you might as well prepare to be humiliated!"
Chu Yang’s guess was correct. It was really Tang Xin Sheng’s plan if the worst was to happen. Tang Xin Sheng was a martial expert. Moreover, he did not even care about Cheng Zi Ang. His plan was aid at killing Chu Yang!
Chu Yang wanted to capture him, but at the sa ti, he wanted to kill Chu Yang.
This was the only oversight in Chu Yang’s plan.
