Gu Hai and Sima Changkong turned their heads and looked over. However, they smiled slowly. They weren't worried that Mo Yike would report them. Smart people had their own pride. They wouldn't do something so despicable unless it was a life or death situation. Moreover, Lü Yang was suspicious of Mr. Mo.
"It doesn't matter if I'm bold or not! Mr. Mo, it's been a while! "Sima Changkong smiled.
"Mr. Sima, you still owe me an explanation for what happened in Silver Moon City, but you keep slandering me? You still dare to come? "Mo Yike smiled.
"Don't. I'm not the one who slandered you. It's Mr. Goode. If you want to look for someone, look for him!" Sima Changkong smiled.
"Mr. Goode, I've been waiting for you. Not bad. It's almost the time I calculated. You still came!" Mo Yike said with a smile.
"Oh?" Gu Hai was slightly stunned.
Sima Changkong, who was beside him, also looked a little confused.
"Both of you, please take a seat. Oh yeah, Lord Chen, since you're here for the banquet, you should go to the banquet hall!" Mo Yike said with a smile.
Lord Chen looked at Sima Changkong. Sima Changkong nodded.
Lord Chen bowed respectfully and left.
"They're going to the banquet. What about you? What about you, the main character? "Sima Changkong asked curiously.
"It's okay. I'm not going. My substitute will go. Both of you came from afar. How can I be rude? Both of you, please take a seat!" Mo Yike said with a smile.
Substitute? Sima Changkong's expression changed, but she didn't care. Since Mo Yike had thought about everything, what was there to worry about?
The three of them sat down. Mo Yike poured a cup of tea for the other two and himself.
"Why don't the two of you have a taste of my tea?" Mo Yike smiled.
Sima Changkong and Gu Hai both picked it up and took a sip.
"Good tea. It's fragrant and refreshing!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Good tea!" Sima Changkong nodded.
However, Mo Yike looked at Sima Changkong and said with a smile, "Mr. Sima, you're not as generous as Mr. Goode. Do you think there's poison in my tea?"
As he spoke, Mo Yike took a sip.
Sima Changkong smiled bitterly. "Sorry, I got used to it and couldn't control myself. I should be punished!"
Sima Changkong finished the tea in one gulp. Obviously, although Sima Changkong took a sip, she didn't really drink it.
"Mr. Mo, this banquet is a good guest. Lü Yang restricted your freedom, but you used this banquet to gain access to the world?" Gu Hai said with a smile.
For example, Gu Hai and Sima Changkong came, but no one knew about it. No one stopped them, but this banquet was able to deceive so many people.
"Mr. Goode, you're joking. Isn't this all thanks to you?" Mo Yike said with a smile.
"Mr. Mo, you don't have to say that. I didn't have a choice! Who asked Mister to be too capable? "Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.
Mo Yike looked serious and sighed slightly. "Sigh, I tried to persuade the Emperor. Unfortunately, my words weren't enough. That's why Long Wanqing, she …!"
"Oh? Mr. Mo knows? Does that mean that we haven't gotten rid of all the spies in our camp? "Sima Changkong frowned slightly.
"Mr. Sima, don't worry. Those spies only serve me. They don't interfere with your military affairs, and they don't have the ability to do so!" Mr. Mo shook his head.
"Ha, Mr. Mo, you're so smart!" Sima Changkong exclaimed.
"Mr. Mo, Gu Hai can only say sorry for your situation today. However, perhaps it's not a bad thing to get back what you lose at the swings. Mr. Mo, you're a great talent, but it's a waste for you to stay in the Da Ying Dynasty!" Gu Hai sighed slightly.
Mo Yike picked up his teacup and looked at the two of them. He took a sip of tea and smiled slightly. "Oh? If it's a waste for me to stay in the Da Ying Dynasty, then where would it not be a waste? "
"My king, Takeshi Ryūshin, leads the Southern Army and unifies thousands of troops in the world. If you can join my palace, you'll definitely be my king's number one strategist. I'm willing to give up my position to you. What do you think?" Sima Changkong immediately tried to persuade him.
"Oh? I'll be Takeshi Ryūshin's number one strategist? "Mo Yike smiled slightly. He looked at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps Mr. Mo won't like me, but I'll still shamelessly recommend myself. My Han Dynasty is in urgent need of a wise person like Mr. Mo to guide us!"
Mo Yike looked at Gu Hai. "Hahaha, Mr. Goode, I didn't say that I wouldn't like your Han Dynasty. With Mr. Goode in charge, even if the Han Dynasty is a pile of mud, it'll be as solid as iron!"
"Oh? You're willing to join my Dahan? "Gu Hai probed.
Mo Yike drank his tea and looked at the two expectant people. He smiled slightly and said, "You two, are you so sure that I've fallen to the point where I'll be picked by others?"
"Mr. Mo, you've misunderstood. You're a treasure. No matter who it is, they'll fight for you. Why would I be picky?" Sima Changkong shook his head.
Mo Yike smiled and said, "Mr. Sima, Mr. Goode, you don't have to persuade me. I'm just at a low point. There'll be a time when I'll rise again. You two don't have to worry about my future. Let's talk about the purpose of your trip!"
Sima Changkong looked at Gu Hai and smiled bitterly. It was as he said before. Mo Yike was really stubborn and couldn't be persuaded.
"Alright, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here because I have something important to ask you, Mr. Mo. You said before that you guessed my identity, so I'm sure you've guessed it, right?" Gu Hai said with a serious expression.
"Oh? Mr. Goode, tell me! I'm listening! "Mo Yike's expression also became serious.
"Lü Yang controlled Li Haoran to kill Long Xiaoyue back then, but he obtained the three souls of Long Xiaoyue. He used the three souls of Long Xiaoyue to threaten the Unborn Man so that the Unborn Man could assassinate me. I'm sure Mr. Mo knows about this, right?" Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"I found out later!" Mo Yike nodded.
"The human soul was given to the Unborn Man. I want to know the whereabouts of the Long Xiaoyue's Heaven Soul and Earth Soul!" Gu Hai said Solemnly.
At the side, Sima Changkong also looked at Mo Yike with a grave expression.
Mo Yike remained silent for a while. Then, he took a sip of tea and smiled faintly. "I asked Mr. Goode. Back then, you played Go with the Ninth Young Master of the Sky Chess Pavilion on Nine-Five Island?"
When Mo Yike changed the topic, Gu Hai's eyes lit up. Since Mo Yike changed the topic, it meant that he had some information and wanted to negotiate with Gu Hai.
"That's right. I played Go with him in the Dragon Pinning Sect!" Gu Hai nodded.
"I also played Go with the Ninth Young Master!" Mo Yike recalled.
"Oh?" Gu Hai looked at Mo Yike.
"After that, the Ninth Young Master wanted me to be his substitute. Unfortunately, I did not agree!" Mo Yike said with a smile.
However, Gu Hai raised his eyebrows. The Ninth Young Master's substitute? The Ninth Young Master was extremely picky when looking for a substitute. Furthermore, he only looked for experts in the Go Dao. Back then, he looked for Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen rejected him.
"At that time, the Ninth Young Master played a game of chess with me called the 'Twenty-nine Line-Pair Worlds Chess Game'. Unfortunately, we did not finish the game. That game was truly marvelous to the extreme. It was the Twenty-nine Line-Pair Worlds Chess Game. Mr. Goode, you know how to play it as well, right? "Mo Yike looked at Gu Hai.
"That's right!" Gu Hai nodded.
"Back then, we did not finish the game. However, that game has been lingering in my mind. Mr. Goode, this Mo is not talented, but I have done some research on the Go Dao. I have read countless Go records in my life. However, that game moved me the most. If Mr. Goode does not give up, I would like to solve the original game that Mr. Goode played!" Mo Yike said Nnly.
The Twenty-Nine Line-Pair World Go Game?
"Of course, I do not know much about Long Xiaoyue's heavenly soul and earthly soul, so I will tell you the truth. However, I do know a clue. If you do not find it troublesome, you can go and investigate it. Is that alright? "Mo Yike smiled at Gu Hai.
"Since Mr. Mo likes Go, I am naturally willing to tell you. It is my dream to meet a match in Go in life. Be it friend or foe!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Mr. Goode, please!" Mo Yike immediately took out a Go board.
There were 29 lines in each direction. Beside them were white and black Go stones.
Gu Hai waved his hand. The black and white Go stones were immediately arranged on the Go board. It looked extremely complicated.
"Mr. Mo, look at this. This is the perfect state of mind for the Twenty-Nine Heavens and Earth Chess Game. It is the Life Chess Game from the Life and Death Chess Game!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
Mo Yike immediately immersed himself in the game.
Sima Changkong watched from the side seriously. Sima Changkong knew a little about the four arts, but her main focus was still on writing. She was not as obsessed with Go as Gu Hai and Mo Yike were. However, she knew a little about it. Looking at the Go board, Sima Changkong frowned deeply.
Gu Hai sat at the side and drank tea. Mo Yike stared at the Go board carefully. His mind was immersed in it.
They sat there for two hours.
After two hours, Mo Yike slowly took out a white Go stone and placed it on the Go board.
"Pah!"
The white Go stone was placed. It was different from when Gu Hai played the Life Chess Game. Back then, Gu Hai had solved it before the Go stone was placed. Mo Yike did not solve the Go stone at once.
Gu Hai saw through the game. Naturally, he played along and placed a black Go stone, changing the game.
"Hmm?" Mo Yike raised his eyebrows slightly. He sat there for another two hours.
"Pah!"
Another Go stone was placed.
Gu Hai was slightly stunned. Mo Yike was indeed not an ordinary person. He could see the general idea of this Go game?
"Pah!"
Gu Hai placed a white Go stone.
Mo Yike continued to look at the Go board. After sitting there for another two hours, Mo Yike's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Could it not be solved?
At this moment, Mo Yike suddenly closed his eyes and relaxed. He didn't want to think about this game of chess.
After some time, Mo Yike took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and placed another Go stone.
"Pah!"
"Hualala!"
The entire Go board trembled.
"Ha, hahahahaha! So that's how it is, that's how it is! "Mo Yike seemed to be possessed by a demon as he excitedly shouted.
Gu Hai, however, looked at Mo Yike. Although Mo Yike was not like Gu Hai who could decide the game with one Go piece, he was able to solve the Twenty-nine Line-Pair World Chess Game with three Go pieces. That was already an extremely terrifying skill.
"Congratulations, Mr. Mo. You've solved the Twenty-nine Line-Pair World Chess Game in just six hours!" Gu Hai exclaimed.
"Mr. Goode, you're too kind. It's not six hours. It's been almost a year. When I saw the Ninth Young Master set up the Go game last time, I've been thinking about it. Just now, Mr. Goode's two Go pieces guided me, and I was able to solve the Twenty-nine Line-Pair World Chess Game. It's a great white!" Mo Yike said excitedly.
Gu Hai smiled slightly. He was not uncomfortable because Mo Yike had solved the Twenty-nine Line-Pair World Chess Game. Instead, he was a little happy.
Mo Yike had just solved the Go game, but it would still take some time for him to join the Society. However, it was only a matter of time.
Mo Yike got up and bowed respectfully to Gu Hai. "Thank you, Mr. Goode!"
"Don't, Mr. Mo, you don't have to do this. I also have something that I need Mr. Mo's help with!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
Mo Yike nodded and said, "About the Three Souls of Long Xiaoyue, I'm not sure either. I didn't know that they killed Long Xiaoyue back then. Sigh, if I knew, I would have stopped the Emperor!"
"Oh?"
"The Emperor has a Longevity Master called Mr. Dongfang. Although the Emperor has not allowed me to get in touch with him, I still know some news. This Mr. Dongfang is now in Pojun's Military Camp. If you want to know about the Three Souls of Long Xiaoyue, you can either go to the Emperor or Mr. Dongfang!" Mo Yike said Solemnly.
"Mr. Dongfang? White-robed Longevity Master? "Sima Changkong raised his eyebrows slightly.
"White-robed Longevity Master?" Gu Hai asked in confusion.
"Yes, there are eight Longevity Masters in the world. Four of them are white-robed, and the other four are black-robed. The white-robed Longevity Master is called Mr. Dongfang. No matter how many generations it has been passed down, it will always have the compound surname 'Dongfang'! I don't know what this generation is called! "Sima Changkong frowned.
"White-robed, black-robed? What's the difference? "
"White-robed Longevity Master, and black-robed Longevity Master dies! White-robed Longevity Masters are mostly children. They cultivate their longevity by relying on a tyrant and bewitching the tyrant to kill, just like how they followed Lü Yang. Lü Yang killed, and all the souls were collected by Mr. Dongfang. However, most of the sins were taken by Lü Yang. If there is divine retribution, the first thing they will look for is Lü Yang. That's why these Longevity Masters are the most sinister and cunning, "Sima Changkong said with a frown.
"I can't help you with that. Here are two of Mr. Dongfang's' Soul Seeds. 'Take them with you and you can avoid the interference of Mr. Dongfang's Longevity Array. Otherwise, once you get close to it, you will definitely fall into his Longevity Array!" Mr. Mo handed over two black seeds.
"Oh?" Gu Hai took them with a puzzled expression.
"It's up to you whether you want to find him or not. This was given to me by the Emperor in the past to prevent me from accidentally entering the range of the Longevity Array and getting hurt. You should keep it. At least it will keep you awake in the Longevity Array!" Mo Yike said Solemnly.
"No wonder, no wonder the assassins we sent disappeared without a trace. Did they really fall into the Longevity Array? Oh, Mr. Dongfang? "Sima Changkong smiled bitterly.
Gu Hai carefully put away the two 'Soul Seeds' and bowed to Mr. Mo in an extremely Solemnly manner. "Thank you very much, Mr. Mo!"
"Mr. Goode, you're too polite. You and I benefit from each other, so you don't have to thank me. I hope you'll be fine. We'll play chess again in the future!" Mo Yike said with a smile.
"Sure!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the banquet hosted by Mo Yike's substitute also came to an end.
Gu Hai and Sima Changkong followed Lord Chen out of the Mo Mansion again. At the same time, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, the three of them left Beiwang City overnight.
