Chapter 783 Heaven and Earth as a Chessboard
"I'm telling you, are you lying to me? Is the fox just your skin? Is your real goal to become the world's biggest swindler? To get the throne?" Orange looked at the thick stack of papers in her hand, her beautiful eyes gradually losing their luster.
With so many people, when will we ever get to talk about this?
Why not just send a large army to their doorstep and arrest them? That might be faster.
Ye Nanxiao shook his hand and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, recently we've observed quite a few promising talents, but they're not all geniuses in Soul Masters or Soul Instructors. There are also geniuses in other areas. As for business, our main focus is on being an all-rounder."
Ju Zi rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao. "How about I lend you my army? That way it'll be faster, and you can gather enough people to summon the dragon."
"Even if there really is a dragon, it probably wouldn't pay any attention to me." The images of Gu Yue and Na'er suddenly appeared in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
It seems I should tell my boss before I leave.
I wonder if my boss has any connections in the north.
"Connections? Xiao'er, have you been raised by me for too long and forgotten who I was before?" Xue Di's displeased voice rang out.
She could sense Ye Nanxiao's thoughts. He had actually forgotten that she, the Snow Empress, was the head of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, and that the Far North was her territory!
As expected, the fox was still not on a leash and had gone too far.
Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow. Oh no, he had forgotten that Xue Di was once the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North.
How amazed I was when I first saw Xue Di! Now, I feel so helpless when I see Xue Di.
Xue Di often wears a fox-themed onesie and lies on the fox-themed sofa, looking at comics that Ye Nanxiao had retrieved from his memories. She is the quintessential homebody, and her image has deeply penetrated Ye Nanxiao's heart.
"What's wrong, you damn fox?" Orange noticed Ye Nanxiao's constantly changing expression, which seemed to be both helpless and excited.
Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin and shook his head. "In short, my clone is here on standby at any time. If anything happens, I can give it a command. Recruiting people is just a side job. I still have some things to take care of over there."
Orange's eyes flickered slightly. She stretched out her right hand, conjured a purple-skinned orange, and handed it to Ye Nanxiao. "Eat it."
"Huh? Silly, I'm using a clone to connect." Ye Nanxiao leaned back slightly, dodging the purple orange that was shoved into his face.
The clones are made of ice, and even the clothes are illusions.
"I don't care! I'll eat it!" Ju Zi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and shoved the purple-skinned orange into Ye Nanxiao's mouth.
"You used to cherish her like a treasure, but now you're disgusted with her? Have you become fickle and tired of her?"
Ye Nanxiao blinked. He had a feeling that Ju Zi was looking for an excuse to vent her dissatisfaction with him.
"Alright, alright, eat, eat, eat. Damn it, you wasted a piece of fruit. I'll put it on your tab and make you pay back with interest!" Ye Nanxiao bit into the purple orange that had frozen into an ice cube in his mouth, and with a wave of his left hand, the ice fragments merged into his body.
"Hmph! I'm not afraid of you!" The slight dissatisfaction between Ju Zi's brows immediately disappeared.
I owe that bastard fox another sum of money. Knowing his nature, he'll be chasing after me begging to pay it back.
Ye Nanxiao flicked Ju Zi's forehead with his finger, then closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the depth in them had transformed into a hint of untamed languor and languor.
"You're back. Did the main body give any instructions?" Little Leaf Number One twisted its neck.
Orange shook her head. "I told you not to be too flashy. The laws of Mingdu are very strict."
"Alright, alright, but why are my hands a little sticky?" Xiao Ye No. 1 clenched his fist a couple of times, then a few wisps of cold air rose from his hands as he cleaned them.
"I'm off tonight, nothing else. I haven't finished my sales work for today, and I haven't met my sales target yet."
Xiao Ye No. 1 put his disguise mask back on, carefully put on his name tag, and then turned and left.
Orange sighed softly, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the VIP room, and looked down at the bustling street.
You can see your own face reflected in the glass.
"We've made it through so many years, what's a little more time?" Orange patted her face, encouraging herself.
Suddenly, her eyes flickered, and her gaze fixed on a street corner. A figure turned and disappeared into the blind spot, leaving her only a glimpse of the hem of a garment.
"His back view looks a bit like that bastard fox. Am I missing him too much?" Orange laughed self-deprecatingly, realizing she really couldn't suppress her longing.
After glancing at that street corner one last time, Orange composed herself and turned to leave.
At that street corner, a figure in a blue robe turned left and right, passed through a dark area, and came to a house. He knocked rhythmically on the door a few times, and slipped inside when the door cracked open.
The house was completely bare, with no furniture whatsoever.
The only window in the house was locked with several wooden planks, leaving no light at all.
The only light source was a few candles lit haphazardly on the floor.
"Not even a light on? It's so dark, it makes us look like bloodthirsty bats who love the dark," the figure in the blue robe complained.
There were several figures inside the room, their eyes wide open and bloodshot.
"How's the investigation going?" a figure asked.
"It has a rather novel soul tool that can be used without prior charging of soul power, just like the milk bottle-filling soul tool researched by the Sun and Moon Royal Family," the figure in blue said as he walked.
"Where's the light? Where's the light switch?"
"The same as the baby bottle-filling soul tool researched by His Majesty's Hall? Just what is the background of this Tang Clan?" another figure asked in surprise.
"It's said that Shrek Academy secretly supported them. The original Seven Devils of Shrek were the founders of Tang Sect. After all, there's a bond between them, so it's normal for them to support each other." The figure spoke again.
The figure in the green robe seemed to have found the switch for the lamp base, but without soul power to charge it, he needed to accumulate energy to turn it on, so he had no choice but to stand there and charge the lamp base.
"Yes, although the Tang Clan's leader is a descendant of the Tang Clan, it was the deputy leader, Ye Nanxiao, who truly enabled the Tang Clan to rise again, who is also our target," said the figure in green.
The moment the name "Ye Nanxiao" was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room fell silent, and the people who had been discussing the matter instantly quieted down.
After a while, with a "snap," the light hanging from the ceiling was powered on.
The stark white light instantly filled every corner of the room.
A seemingly kind-faced old man opened his eyes wide, a glint of ferocity flashing in his unusually bright pupils, which were incongruous with his age. He said, "Even if Ye Nanxiao is the vice sect leader of the Tang Clan, we must take his life!"
"However, even the elders were seriously injured by Ye Nanxiao. Elder Tianwu and Elder Mask are still in seclusion to heal their injuries." A middle-aged man with a goatee said with a look of fear on his face.
"No buts! Don't forget how many of our brothers died at this man's hands!" the old man roared, and cries that seemed to come from hell emanated from within him.
The latest novel is first published here!
The terrifying screams seemed to tear at the skull, sending chills down one's spine.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet the old man's gaze.
The old man looked around and finally his gaze fell on the figure in blue robes who was still fiddling with the lamp base.
"Qianbian! Stop fiddling with that broken lamp holder! Listen carefully! You are a crucial step in dealing with Ye Nanxiao!" the old man scolded impatiently.
"Alright, alright, those old things are really hard to deal with."
The figure in the blue robe turned around, and the lamplight shone on him, revealing his face.
He had an exceptionally handsome face, like a banished immortal.
And this face is exactly the same as Ye Nanxiao's.
"I quite like this face. This mission went well!"
Shrek City, Tang Clan, Underground Laboratory.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Huo Yuhao, who was holding a chessboard, and a crossroads appeared on his forehead. He asked rudely, "Why are you here again!?"
Huo Yuhao, holding the chessboard, chuckled sheepishly. "I was just overexerting myself and wanted to relax a bit."
relax?
Juan Wang Huo said he wanted to relax?
"Day after day, you still squeeze in so much time to play chess in the middle of your cultivation, several times a day. Today is the fifth time! Tell me! Are you slacking off during your cultivation?!" Ye Nanxiao stared at Huo Yuhao with unfriendly eyes.
This guy comes to me to play chess every day, and while we're playing, he keeps talking nonstop, babbling on and on. Who wouldn't get annoyed after listening to that for a while?
Moreover, Huo Gua came over whenever he had free time, leaving Ye Nanxiao with no time to even practice magic.
"Let's play a game! Winning one game is perfect, then we can start our training time." Huo Yuhao quickly set up the chessboard.
"Win one game? I'm a terrible chess player, and you can lose to a terrible chess player all afternoon? I don't know whether to praise you or scold you!" Ye Nanxiao sat down cursing, holding a black chess piece.
Huo Yuhao smiled somewhat awkwardly and placed a piece on the board.
The two quickly placed their pieces, chatting casually as they did so.
If there were other people watching, they would have noticed that the two players made their moves almost without thinking, or even just randomly.
Is Huo Yuhao, who possesses the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, a terrible chess player?
Could Ye Nanxiao, a cunning businessman, be a terrible chess player?
actually not.
Huo Yuhao's goal was to win one game and then log off, so Ye Nanxiao logged off casually, wanting to quickly get rid of the foolish Oudoudou.
During their casual conversation, Huo Yuhao would occasionally bring up topics such as the state of the world, the relationship between sects and the imperial court, and the lives of ordinary people, chatting with Ye Nanxiao about the big picture.
Ye Nanxiao knew very well that Huo Yuhao was deliberately losing to him in order to chat with him longer and find out more information.
"Hurry up, you lousy chess player, today I'm going to make you lose eighteen games in a row!" Ye Nanxiao snorted coldly. Although he was a little annoyed, he also knew that Huo Gua would need a lot of time to understand his philosophy.
The simplest way to understand this is to understand it from his perspective.
"Raise your hand and fire!" Huo Yuhao chose an opening move that would cause Ye Nanxiao's blood pressure to rise continuously.
"You son of a bitch! Watch the car!" Ye Nanxiao chose to hit randomly. Since everyone was here for entertainment, he might as well give them a good beating!
Nobody's going to have any fun!
