Chapter 101 The Chess

Translator: Cheryl_M

Zhao Yun received the message via the deed from Xia Mingyu. After feeling that the teenager was fine, he was relieved then. Holding the White Cloud Pendant, he had a complicated glint in his eyes.

Back then, he clearly felt that Xia Mingyu was in a bad mood in the tomb. He didn’t expect that it was not Ma Chao but his wife, Ma Yunlu who was in the tomb. In this way, the grudge became more serious.

But there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t explain now. Besides, he really intended to have Ma Yunlu’s soul nourished, because he had something to ask her. He always felt that Ma Yunlu showed up in the tomb for a reason, which must have something to do with Zhuge Liang.

“Brother Zhao, Cao Pi said Wu Jiuge fled. Shall we chase him?” He Nai ran over in a hurry. Zhao Yun put away the White Cloud Pendant with Ma Yunlu’s soul and turned around, asking, “How come? I sealed his power with spiritual power. How did he escape?”

“It’s Cao Pi’s fault. He unleashed the spiritual power lock. Anyway, the prisoner has escaped. How shall we find Mingyu?”

He Nai put on a long face. Even the cat sent out by Eight Tails didn’t make any progress. No one knew where Xia Mingyu was. Why was he always missing? His friends were really worried.

“He’s fine. I have just got a reply via the deed but it was quickly disconnected. I think it was probably for some special reason…” Zhao Yun thought and looked up only to see that Mu Feng was coming over. Then he said to Mu Feng, “Oh right, Mu Feng, can you do one thing for me?”

“Hmm? What’s up? Just say it.” Mu Feng grinned. Sun Yaxin behind him suddenly flipped on his forehead. Mu Feng covered his bandaged forehead and shouted, “Wow! Xinxin, are you trying to kill me? It hurts.”

“Don’t fake it! You didn’t even scream when your bones were broken. Why are you crying for pain at the moment?” Sun Yaxin glanced at him disdainfully, bit the cholocate bar and said to Zhao Yun, “I dare to say that if you really want to find Xia Mingyu, there are two directions. Either Wu Jiuge or Cao Cao.”

“Hmm? I know about Wu Jiuge but why Cao Cao?” He Nai asked in confusion. Sun Yaxin leaned against the wall and laughed. “Are you stupid? Cao Pi pointed out Xia Mingyu’s identity and dragged Wu Jiuge into trouble without leaving any retreat, which proved that he has more information than we do, perhaps even more than Wu Jiuge knows. Don’t you know who Cao Pi is?”

“Although you have made a good point, it doesn’t mean you can insult my IQ. You’re stupid! All your family are stupid!” He Nai was instantly furious and took out the snake bone whip to attack Sun Yaxin. The latter had cold eyes and then turned around to kick Mu Feng over as a shield.

“Master, go away. Don’t stand in my way!”

“Nai, I would like to, but Mr. Sun seems unwilling to come out from behind me.”

“Enough is enough…” Wangchuan was speechless. Eight Tails was in his arms, enjoying his gentle stroking and saying to his master with its pupils narrowed, “Meow, honestly, Master, we can’t find Xia Mingyu now. We can put him down for a while. As long as the blood deed doesn’t show any sign, you don’t need to worry then. Master, you can completely concentrate on condensing Madam’s soul into a ghost so that you two can reunite.”

Zhao Yun remained silent for a while and said, “… I want to put aside Yunlu’s matter first. After all, I promised Zhao Ziyi that I would take care of Xiaoyu. If I leave him alone, I will break my promise.”

“But now we don’t know where Xia Mingyu is. Even the blood deed cannot find him. Who knows where he is.” Eight Tails had a flat mouth, but he missed the ghee made by Madam.

“Alas, how about this? We’ll split up. Mu Feng and I will go to Cao Cao and you three will go to search for Wu Jiuge. Eight Tails, follow Wangchuan so that you can track Wu Jiuge with the help of the cats.”

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Mu Feng wore a black cap cap and walked over. With his arms put around Zhao Yun’s shoulders, he said with a smile. “This is a good idea. Let’s go meet the evil hero in the chaotic world and we will teach him a lesson.”

“Bah, just you? Zhao Yun may be okay. You cannot make it. You may even be thrown out.” Sun Yaxin snorted coldly, turned around and left. Mu Feng wept in confusion, “What do you mean? We haven’t met for a few days only, but you are becoming meaner and meaner.”

“-_-|… Uh, let’s go too.” Zhao Yun was speechless. Back then, Sun Yaxin was extremely calm to discover them in the tomb and even when He Nai talked of who Zhao Yun was complacently, he just did nothing but pretended to take a tumble. As such, he got increasingly curious. Was this what a psychologist should be? His psychological enduring capacity was really strong…

Sun Yaxin with strong psychological enduring capacity, sneezed when he went downstairs. Did anyone miss him?

They acted separately downstairs. Cao Pi was still there, so he followed Zhao Yun and Mu Feng. The driver was still Mu Feng. Cao Pi, who was in the back seat, glanced at Zhao Yun, raised his eyebrows and said, “Don’t you mind that Xia Mingyu hides the secret from you?”

“…” Zhao Yun frowned and didn’t feel like talking about that. Yet, he didn’t avoid it. Instead, he said bluntly, “Yes, I do, but Xiaoyu also has his own privacy. It’s his choice to keep it a secret. I have no right to interfere.”

“Ha, I thought you’d feel betrayed by the pet you raised, but it turns out that you don’t think so.” Cao Pi sneered. Zhao Yun seemed angry, “Xiaoyu is not a pet.”

“Tsk, your temper is just like that of Wu Jiuge.” Cao Pi said mysteriously and then leaned against the back seat to rest. Zhao Yun frowned and shook his head for a while. Forget it, he shouldn’t quarrel with this man. It was really confusing. Why did Cao Pi bring up Wu Jiuge again?

After sitting in the office of the Cao’s Group for half a day, he discussed with Cao Cao about the Evil Soul and Heavenly Soul. Zhao Yun rubbed his eyebrows. When Cao asked him to settle Ma Yunlu’s soul well, he felt uneasy somehow.

“Yunlu’s soul is stable, but her soul can’t appear in the form of a ghost. I want to put it aside first and focus on fining Xiaoyu.” Zhao Yun answered, and Cao Cao took a sip of the teacup before saying, “She can’t become a ghost? Supposedly, she cannot wake up. You should indeed find Xia Mingyu first. He will help you. ”

“Xiaoyu?” Zhao Yun became more puzzled, and even Mu Feng couldn’t stay calm.”What you just said is too confusing. Xiaoyu is just an ordinary child. How can he be of help?”

“An ordinary child? Didn’t you know that he is the Heavenly Soul? “Cao Cao put down the cup of tea. “The Heavenly Soul can be hailed as a unique treasure. His blood can not only help the alien races to enhance their strength, but also bring the dead back to life. If one devours the Heavenly Soul, he can command the alien races in the world. All of these are enough to prove his uniqueness. Do you still think he can’t be of help? ”

Mu Feng and Zhao Yun looked each other in the eye, and then stared at Cao Cao alertedly, “I want to know what you are doing. Since you know that Xiaoyu is a Heavenly Soul, why didn’t you intervene? Why do you help us?”

Cao Cao burst into laughter. He didn’t mind answering Mu Feng’s question, “Aren’t Zilong and Mingyu connected by the blood deed? Hence, it is extremely difficult to obtain the soul. Anyway, I’m also very interested in Zilong. I would rather lend you a hand than get more kicks than halfpence.”

Mu Feng pouted and smiled like a ruffian, “Well, who knows what you’re up to? But if you can really help us find Xiaoyu, you will do a good deed then.”

“Good deed? I don’t understand how you distinguish the good from the bad. Fine. If you really want to find out where Mingyu is taken, you can ask Fengxiao. He is casting a horoscope on the roof now.”

“Thank you.” As Zhao Yun spoke, he went one stair upwards. Instead of following him, Mu Feng leaned on the sofa and looked at Cao Cao, saying laughingly, “Oh my, I have one more problem. I hope Mr. Cao won’t blame me. Why don’t we discuss it while playing chess? Let’s play chess then. ”

“Please.” Cao Cao ordered Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan to set up a chessboard between them. Cao Cao took the black side and Mu Feng took the red side.

Mu Feng moved the chess Horse first and said, “When we were in Ma Chao’s tomb, it was you who allowed Cao Pi to tell us about the Evil Soul. Why did you do that?”

Cao Cao moved the black Soilder then. “Shouldn’t you know about this?”

“Then why did you drag Wu Jiuge into trouble? How much do you know about the identity of Wu Jiuge?” The Cannon of the red side was moved crossed the river and charged forward to the black camp.

The Horse of the black side was sent out. “The presbyter of the witch clan is Wu Jiuge. You must know a lot about the witch clan. Why did the Murong Family collapse? I think you know better than me.”

The red Pawn came forward and the black Cannon crossed the river. “Why did the witch stay with Xiaoyu? Could it be that he also wanted to command the world with the Heavenly Soul?” The red Cannon hit the Pawn and the black Horse stepped on it. The other red Cannon hit the black Horse. Mu Feng smirked, “Please enlighten me.”

Cao Cao was in a daze, “You won’t know about it until you ask the persons concerned.”

The red Cannon struck the Soilder again and faced the black General. “But the person in question, Xiaoyu, is missing. Wu Jiuge has been let away by Cao Pi. I need an explanation. Given Cao Pi’s ability, he shouldn’t let Wu Jiuge escape.”

The black Advisor guarded the King. Cao Cao said with a smile, “So, Zihuan, you do the explanation.”

Cao Pi, who was sitting on the other side, didn’t even lift his head. He answered faintly, “Oh, I’ve unlocked my spiritual power. So what?”

“You’re letting the tiger go back to the mountain!” Mu Feng was angry. Just now his Horse was taken down by Cao Cao’s Chariot and the other Cannon was almost lost.

“I think it’s time to lure the snake out of the cave. Wu Jiuge never confesses. It’s no use to tie him up. Let’s see what he is going to do and make a decision.” Cao Pi retorted mercilessly. Mu Feng lost a Minister again and took down Cao Cao’s black Cannon with the Chariot. Only then did he feel better.

“What if we can’t find Wu Jiuge?” Mu Feng became cautious. The two Chariots rushed to the black camp like a fierce tiger going down the mountain, and then used the red Horse to defend his own camp. Yet, Cao Cao’s other black Cannon somehow went across the river and accidentally defeated his red Horse.

Cao Pi glanced at their chessfield and sneered, “We can’t find him? He will come back by himself. After all, he and those spirits can’t find Xia Mingyu themselves. ”
