"How could this be?"
Jin Zhong and Bai Yue stared at the chessboard in disbelief. They tried to deduce in their hearts. The truth was just as Qing Xi had said. The entire game was a trap set by the black pieces. No matter where the white pieces were placed, the black pieces could take the opportunity to change the world. Perhaps it was the change of the four symbols, the change of the five elements, or the change of the eight trigrams.
Both of them were experts who had played black and white chess all their lives. They had never even heard of such a game, let alone seen it.
When Qing Xi was playing, they had also been watching. They had tried to deduce countless possibilities for each move. Step by step, they had not discovered the black pieces' traps at all. How could it be that the game was full of traps now?
How could this be?
The two of them did not understand and could not understand.
Putting aside the fact that they did not understand, as the person involved, Qingxi did not understand either. Every time she placed a white chess piece, she had deduced countless possibilities, and only placed her chess piece after confirming it over and over again. However, she had never thought that until now, all the chess pieces she had placed were the opponent's traps.
She looked at the chessboard, just like that, carefully recalling every move she had made. However, no matter how she recalled, how she pondered, how she deduced, she could not figure out how her opponent had set up this game. She did not even know when she had fallen into her opponent's trap.
What should she do now?
She had already lost.
What she had lost was the top-grade black-level flying sword that Uncle Jin Zhong had spent hundreds of years refining.
Qingxi felt apologetic. She also felt that she had let down her Uncle-Master. If she could, she really wanted to use her Numinous treasure to protect her Uncle-Master's Intrinsic Flying Sword. However, upon careful thought, all the Numinous treasures on her were not as expensive as her Uncle-Master's Intrinsic Flying Sword.
She did not know what to do.
Jin Zhong didn't know either. He stood there, feeling dizzy. When he came, he firmly believed that his martial niece would win. After all, even a Reincarnation Realm expert wasn't Qingxi's opponent. How could she lose to this kid?
Dreams were beautiful.
Reality was cruel.
Now that he had lost his Natal Magic Treasure, what should he do?
He did not know.
Jin Zhong had never thought about this problem.
On the opposite side, Gu Qingfeng raised his head and drank all the peach blossom wine in the jug. Laughing loudly, he went to take the Profound Grade Flying Sword. At this time, the Flying Sword bloomed with brilliance and fell into Jin Zhong's hand with a whoosh.
"What's wrong? Can't afford to lose?" Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly. "Are you trying to act shamelessly?"
Jin Zhong held his Life Source Flying Sword and stared at Gu Qingfeng. He really couldn't afford to lose. Losing this Life Source Flying Sword was equivalent to losing half his life.
If there were only Bai Yue, Qing Xi, and Qing Lian here, he might be able to act shamelessly. After all, they were all on the same side, and this brat was only a golden core cultivator. He could fool them with a little trick.
However, these people were not the only ones present.
Previously, when he was playing chess, there were already seven or eight people gathered here. Later, when he brought Qing Xi over, there were even more people. Perhaps it was because of Qing Xi's appearance here, in just a short while, there were already dozens of people gathered here. Half of these people were probably here to watch the chess game, the other half were here to watch Qing Xi, and the rest were here to watch the fun.
Jin Zhong could not afford to act shamelessly in front of so many people.
Once this matter spread, his reputation would be tarnished. Not only would his reputation be tarnished, it would also affect the chivalrous reputation of Five Colored Mountain.
"Laoguai Jin, if you can't afford to lose, just say so." Gu Qingfeng took out a jug of peach blossom wine and opened the jug. He poured the wine inside and said slowly without looking up, "I don't lack that broken sword of yours."
"You!"
Jin Zhong was very regretful now. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Why did he play chess with this kid for no reason? If he had lost a few rounds, it would have been considered a round. Although he lost miserably, at least he wouldn't have lost his life source magic weapon!
Damn it!
What should I do now!
Jin Zhong wanted to cry but had no tears. His mind was like lightning. He suddenly remembered what Qingxi had said before, so he braced himself and said, "You are Young Master Gu, right? You came to visit Elder Kumu, and you are the descendant of an old friend of the old man. You see … "
"A visit is a visit, an old friend is an old friend, and gambling is gambling. These are two different things." Gu Qingfeng said with a smile, "I just said that if you can't afford to lose, I can give up your Natal Magic Treasure."
"You brat!"
Jin Zhong pointed at Gu Qingfeng, his face flushed, and he gasped for breath. He was one of the famous Eighteen Swords of Five Colored Mountain and the disciple of Grandmaster Cang Song. He was also a reputable person. How could he say such words in front of so many people?
Looking at the people around him talking and pointing, Jin Zhong gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, closed his eyes, and grinned. He threw his Natal Flying Sword to the ground and shouted, "It's just a broken flying sword! Why can't I afford to lose? You brat, just take it! "
"Not bad, at least you have some integrity."
Gu Qingfeng picked up the flying sword and glanced at it, saying, "It's a good flying sword."
Jin Zhong pointed at Gu Qingfeng again and said angrily, "Brat, don't be complacent. I will definitely find you for revenge!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Zhong leaped up and his figure disappeared.
"Senior Bai Yue, I'm worried that Martial Uncle will do something stupid again. Can you follow him and see? This junior will be very grateful."
"Miss Qingxi, don't worry. This old man knows what to do."
Bai Yue was also worried and hurried to follow.
"Young Master Gu."
At this time, Qingxi said, "This flying sword is my Martial Uncle's Natal Magic Treasure. Can you return it to him for the time being? I can give you something of equal value in exchange."
"Oh? Tell me, what do you want? "
Qingxi took out all the Spiritual Treasures in her storage pouch. Beside her, Qinglian also took out all the Spiritual Treasures in her storage pouch. Qingxi said, "I know these are far from enough, but this is all my junior sister and I have. I hope young master Gu can give us a few more days. After the Five-colored Flower Festival, I will definitely try my best to make up for the resources I owe you."
The onlookers also took the initiative to offer to share some of Qing Xi's burden. They all took out some spirit treasures from their storage pouches. However, they were all rejected by Qing Xi. "I appreciate everyone's good intentions. Your resources are not easy to come by. I will handle this matter myself. Thank you everyone."
"Hey, Young Master Gu, all the Spirit Treasures that my Senior Sister obtained from her training in the past have been handed over to Five Colored Mountain. Otherwise, not to mention a Profound Tier Flying Sword, even if it was a Rare Tier Flying Sword, my Senior Sister would still be able to afford it." Qinglian said, "Moreover, everyone knows my Senior Sister's character. Since she said she will give it to you after the festival, she will definitely give it to you."
The people next to her also began to speak up for Qingxi. Some people even stood up for her, saying that Gu Qingfeng, a man, was bullying a woman and that he had an unfair advantage. Some people even said that Gu Qingfeng was cheating. Everyone had different opinions. In their eyes, Gu Qingfeng suddenly became a despicable and sinister person.
"Everyone, there's no need to be like this."
Qingxi stopped everyone and explained, "Young Master Gu did not have an unfair advantage, nor did he cheat. It's my own fault for being inferior."
Then, she said to Gu Qingfeng, "Young Master Gu, can you really not give me a few more days?"
"How would I dare? If I don't agree, they will eat me." Gu Qingfeng threw Jin Zhong's Natal Flying Sword over.
"Thank you, Young Master. Don't worry, after the festival, I will definitely think of a way to pay back what I owe."
Gu Qingfeng looked at the sky. It was already dawn. He got up and yawned, "Alright, it's not early anymore. Go back and rest."
"Wait."
"What?"
Qingxi originally wanted to say some words of thanks because so many people were speaking up for her. It made her feel like she was threatening them. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to start. After some thought, she said, "Young Master, rest early."
