Jun Yu was in disbelief as she waved her sleeves and scattered more than a hundred pieces on the Star Chessboard, setting up a second Nimble Chess Game.
All these years, she had been focused entirely on deciphering Nimble Chess Games and she had long memorized all nine of them.
Su Zimo had just deciphered a Nimble Chess Game and was in high spirits.
When he saw Jun Yu set up a second game, he did not hesitate and immediately observed the game.
Although the situation of the black pieces in the second Nimble Chess Game was completely different from the previous game, it was still a deadlock!
Su Zimo tried to decipher it himself first. Although he had some ideas after two hours, he was still unable to confirm it and did not place his piece.
Closing his eyes once more, he imagined himself as the black piece in the Nimble Chess Game and how he should escape from such an encirclement.
The figure of the black-robed woman appeared in his mind once more.
As he looked at the footwork of the black-robed woman, Su Zimo verified it repeatedly with the Nimble Chess Game!
A moment later, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he finally placed his piece.
Piak!
The black piece landed firmly on a spot on the Star Chessboard.
Jun Yu raised her brow slightly.
That was the key to deciphering the second Nimble Chess Game!
Without batting an eyelid, Jun Yu placed her white piece and played against Su Zimo.
The second Nimble Chess Game was much more complicated than the first.
He had only taken the first step and was unable to escape the deadlock. During this period of time, there were still many traps and tribulations waiting for Su Zimo.
Before long, Su Zimo placed his second piece!
This time round, Jun Yu's heart skipped a beat as she looked deeply at Su Zimo.
If the first time was an accident and Su Zimo's second time was a coincidence, the third time was definitely not a fluke!
"Fellow Daoist Su, you're hiding your strength, right?"
Jun Yu asked with a fake smile.
At that moment, Su Zimo's mind was completely immersed in the Nimble Chess Game, verifying the footwork of the black-robed woman and comprehending the Dao techniques of the game. As such, he turned a deaf ear to Jun Yu's words.
The two continued to play dozens of moves. Jun Yu played white and gradually gained the upper hand.
However, Jun Yu knew in her heart that Su Zimo had already broken the second Nimble Chess Game with his two exquisite moves!
Back then, she had spent an entire seven days to solve the second Nimble Chess Game!
Without another word, Jun Yu scattered the black and white chess pieces again, setting up the third Nimble Chess Game.
Su Zimo took a deep breath and immersed himself in it again.
…
Yunzhu and Mo Qing stood guard outside the door. In the blink of an eye, a day and a night had passed.
Yunzhu squatted on the stone steps with an ancient book in her hands. She seemed to be concentrating on the book.
However, the truth was that she had already flipped open the ancient book and stayed on this page for several hours.
There were many books in Yunzhu's storage bag.
She had originally planned to read some books here. After all, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
However, it didn't take long before she couldn't take it anymore.
It wasn't that the book wasn't good, it was just that his heart wasn't calm.
Although her gaze was fixed on the words of the ancient book, her thoughts had long slipped into the room and she was letting her imagination run wild.
Realizing her state, Yunzhu sighed and put away the ancient book in her hands, looking not far away.
There was a woman standing quietly at the side. She was gentle and elegant, holding a brush in her hands as she drew the flowers, trees, mountains and rivers in the courtyard on a piece of paper.
The woman was one with the mountains and rivers in the courtyard.
Her existence was like the most beautiful painting in the world!
Yunzhu smiled gently.
For the simple-minded Mo Qing, it wouldn't be a problem for her to draw here for three years or even 30 years, let alone three days and three nights.
Yunzhu stood up and came to Mo Qing's side, waving her hand gently.
"Sister Yunzhu, what's wrong?"
Mo Qing turned around and asked.
Yunzhu pointed in the direction of Jun Yu's room. "The two of them have been in there for a long time without coming out. There's no movement either."
"Yes."
Mo Qing nodded. "It's indeed a little strange."
Yunzhu said mysteriously, "Do you want to go in and take a look at what the two of them are doing?"
"Isn't it a little abrupt?"
Mo Qing frowned slightly with a hesitant expression.
"It's nothing."
Yunzhu said, "We're just visiting, not barging in."
"Alright …"
Mo Qing nodded in agreement.
Yunzhu and Mo Qing arrived in front of Jun Yu's room. Yunzhu stepped forward and said loudly, "I'm Yunzhu. I'm here with Mo Qing to visit Fellow Daoist Jun Yu. Please open the door."
After a while, there was no response from the room.
Yunzhu pondered and said, "There's a restriction in this room that isolates spirit consciousness and sound. I'll try knocking on the door."
As she said that, Yunzhu stepped forward and knocked on the door gently.
After a few knocks, a gap appeared on the door!
The door was not locked.
Yunzhu pushed open the door gently and saw Su Zimo and Jun Yu kneeling on futons in the room with a game of Go between them.
The two of them were playing an intense game of Go.
Yunzhu opened her mouth slightly and was dumbfounded.
She had imagined countless scenes but this was the only one she had not imagined.
Mo Qing was also surprised when she saw this scene.
"Come in and close the door."
Jun Yu's voice sounded.
Yunzhu and Mo Qing entered the room and turned to close the door.
Su Zimo seemed to be immersed in the game of Go and did not even notice the arrival of Yunzhu and Mo Qing.
"The two of you have been playing Go for an entire day and night?"
Yunzhu asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
Jun Yu nodded and looked at Su Zimo with a conflicted expression.
In a single day and night, this beginner of Go before her managed to crack six Exquisite Go games in a row!
This was completely beyond her imagination!
Back then, she took a day to crack the first Exquisite Go game.
She took seven days to crack the second game.
She took an entire month to crack the third game.
She took an entire hundred years to crack the sixth game!
During that hundred years, she did not cultivate at all and spent all her time and effort on cracking the Exquisite Go games.
That torment was still fresh in her memories.
She spent more than a hundred years to crack the first six Exquisite Go games. However, this disciple of the academy before her only took a single day and night!
Right now, Su Zimo was already attempting to crack the seventh Exquisite Go game.
She took an even longer time to crack the seventh Exquisite Go game – close to 500 years!
Jun Yu did not dare to guess how long Su Zimo would take to crack the seventh Exquisite Go game.
However, at this moment, she finally understood why Fairy Ling Long wanted the two of them to communicate.
Indeed, this beginner of Go before her was qualified to communicate with her!
In reality, the reason why Fairy Ling Long could make that judgment was because Lin Luo told her that Su Zimo seemed to have unintentionally released the Nine Palace Subtle Steps once.
Fairy Linglong was greatly surprised by this.
She guessed that Su Zimo might have come into contact with the Nine Palace Subtle Steps before but did not truly master it.
That was the reason why Fairy Ling Long hid the Nine Palace Subtle Steps in the nine Exquisite Go games. She wanted to impart the Dao through Go games to repay Araki Takeshi for saving Lin Lei and his sister.
