Chapter 803

Mengqi held back his laughter. "Are all these for me?"

"Yes." Ruan Yushu lowered her head to look at the dishes and desserts on the stone table. She nodded slightly and added in a low voice, "The monster crab soup is best eaten when it's neither hot nor cold. You have to eat the desserts before you taste the dragon claw. It's perfect with the sweetness … They're all excellent food. You must treat them well."

Her tone was complicated. She sounded like a child who was giving away her favorite toy to her best friend. She was grateful, happy to share, and slightly reluctant. She was afraid that Meng Qi wouldn't know how to taste it and let her treasure down.

Listening to Ruan Yushu's cold and pleasant voice, Mengqi smiled and sat down swaggeringly. He picked up the wooden chopsticks.

A faint, suspicious sound was heard. Ruan Yushu immediately turned her head away.

Meng Qi pretended not to notice and picked up a piece of Cloud Date Cake. He took a small bite and found that it was really fragrant and sweet, as if it could be transmitted to every part of his body. Following that, he followed Ruan Yushu's instructions and picked up a "dragon claw". He felt that the bone was crispy and the skin was smooth, full of chewiness. The slightly sour taste became more obvious under the contrast of sweetness, and it also gave off a strange fragrance. It was so delicious that he wanted to swallow it whole.

After tasting the two dishes, Mengqi praised them. He looked at Ruan Yushu and saw her smile. She looked a little proud, but she didn't look at the stone table.

"Let's eat together." Mengqi suddenly said with a smile.

Ruan Yushu suddenly turned her head and stared at the last piece of date cake. She shook her head and said, "No, this is for you."

She didn't deliberately say thank you or words of gratitude.

Meng Qi chuckled and said, "It's not like you don't know me. Delicious food only tastes good when shared. If I eat it alone, it will be bland and tasteless."

"Okay." Ruan Yushu didn't refuse anymore. She quickly sat down and picked up the wooden chopsticks.

The Pavilion became quiet. There was only the peace and warmth of the delicious food. For a foodie, it was blasphemy to talk at such an important moment.

After a while, all the dishes and snacks on the table were gone. Meng Qi was in a very good mood as he ate.

Ruan Yushu put down the chopsticks and slowly exhaled as if she was still savoring the taste. Suddenly, she looked at Mengqi and asked, "Where are you going?"

It was a vague question, but Mengqi understood. The Nine Villages World!

Previously, he had told his companions that he would return to the Nine Villages and use the Devil-rinsing Flag to eliminate the Evil Spirit of Zhenwu after he had crossed the first step of the Celestial Ladder and stabilized himself. Jiang Zhiwei and the others had said that they would strive to get a good evaluation in the task and obtain the Samsara talisman to help Meng Qi. Now, seeing that Meng Qi had crossed the Celestial Ladder four months earlier and become a Peerless Master, Ruan Yushu asked him this question.

"The road ahead is dangerous. If there is a chance to improve, I have to try." Mengqi replied vaguely. After all, they were in the Ruan Residence and in the formation. It was better to be safe than sorry.

Ruan Yushu understood his meaning. The Journey to the West was dangerous. They had to be well prepared. The last few steps of the Zhenwu Serial Task might yield great rewards.

The first time they entered the Journey to the West was a Death Task. Zhang Yuanshan, Fu Zhenzhen, Ge Huai 'en, and Luo Shengyi died tragically. It was impossible for Mengqi, Ruan Yushu, and the others not to be traumatized. So they tried to be careful when they entered the Journey to the West again.

"It's a pity that I can't go now." Ruan Yushu looked a little lost. He didn't get the Samsara Charm. "Otherwise, there are many zither songs that can help you."

After entering the Exterior, even though there was a big gap between him and Mengqi, Ruan Yushu's assistance could be put to good use. For example, it could directly enhance Mengqi's strength or help him recover …

Mengqi valued these assistance. But considering that Ruan Yushu had just made a breakthrough and needed to practice the zither songs, he couldn't exchange for time. He might not be able to master all of them before the Journey to the West. He finally suppressed his thoughts and laughed. "It's okay. Who can stop me when I have a Heavenly Weapon?"

As he spoke, many thoughts flashed through his mind. His companions relied solely on the Dominator. Items like the Samsara Charm were hard to come by. It was hard to concentrate on the serial task. But similar items could be obtained in the Immortals. Even if they weren't available all the time, it was better than the profiteers in the Dominator!

"Should I introduce my companions to the Immortals?"

Mengqi frowned slightly. After joining the Immortals and experiencing many things, his perception of the Immortals had changed dramatically. He didn't have the initial rejection and thought that it was a good organization that was beneficial to him. Even though there were many members of the Heterodox Doctrine, he was just using them and it didn't conflict with his character.

The only problem was that Ruan Yushu, Jiang Zhiwei, and Qi Zhengyan were either daughters of aristocratic families or heirs of sects. They had a natural resistance to joining the mysterious organization. He had to sound them out. If worst came to worst, he could buy them himself!

"Well, I'll ask for the Primogenitor's opinion when I have the chance." Mengqi had a plan in mind. He listened to Ruan Yushu again.

Ruan Yushu calmed down and said coldly, "I plan to master the Blue Sky Heavenly Tune first. It can speed up the recovery of my injuries …"

"Then there's the Flowing Water Chart, which can help me recover when I'm exhausted …"

"Then there's the Breaking Formation Music, which can stimulate my potential and temporarily increase my strength …"

"… When I master these music scores, I should be able to use them …"

Her voice was pleasing to the ear. She didn't have any strong emotions and didn't deliberately show off. Her words made people unconsciously calm down.

Mengqi listened with a smile and a gentle look in his eyes.

At this moment, the sound of water was like the sound of a zither. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

…

The next day, Mengqi went to the West Mountain again to visit Wang Siyuan.

After the competition for the Zither of Limbo, Wang Siyuan sent him a telepathic message, asking him to come to the West Mountain Buddhist Temple for a talk.

"What a mysterious guy." Mengqi curled his lips and stepped into the Buddhist Temple.

Under the Bodhi tree, Wang Siyuan placed a chessboard in front of him. He held a black chess piece in his hand and stared at the treasures on the board for a long time.

"Hey, there's a chess game that is difficult for Trickster Wang?" Mengqi sat on the opposite side and glanced at the game. He found that the black chess piece's luck had run out and the dragon was about to be slaughtered. There was no chance for a comeback elsewhere.

"It's a dead end …" Mengqi didn't think much. He coughed lightly and waited for Wang Siyuan to speak and explain his intentions.

Wang Siyuan raised his head and retracted his right hand. His thumb was rubbing the chess piece with his face still pale. "The Killing Blade broke two arms in three moves and scared Six-apex Devil away. Everyone in the vicinity of Langya knows that he has a chance to enter the Terrestrial Rankings. If not for his broken heavenly weapon, he could enter the Terrestrial Rankings in less than one or two times. Besides the heavenly weapon and other factors, his pure strength isn't worse than Six-apex Devil's on the Dark Rankings. He's even better than Six-apex Devil. To be able to do this with the realm of the Fourth Heaven, he deserves his reputation as a person with four disasters."

Mengqi naturally liked to hear similar words, but the current situation wasn't suitable. He smiled and said, "This doesn't seem to be something that Master Wang needs to pay attention to."

Don't be deliberately mystifying. Get straight to the point!

Wang Siyuan coughed twice. "During the Middle Ages, The Conqueror was the same. He often defeated people of the same realm as him and defeated those stronger than him. But in the end, he still fell in his prime and died."

It's all your Wang family's fault … Mengqi silently criticized. Based on the Wang family's understanding of The Conqueror, they might have recognized his Demon's Beheading!

Is he warning me with the matter of The Conqueror? Mengqi squinted his eyes.

"Before the Sage of Arithmetic, although the Wang family didn't have the family motto of 'Don't calculate everything and don't go too far', we weren't domineering and could endure humiliation. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to survive the disaster of the demons' chaos until the time of The Conqueror." Wang Siyuan changed the topic. Mengqi was confused. What's the point of saying all this?

Did you know that the Sage of Arithmetic died in the hands of Ananda?

After Wang Siyuan coughed twice, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "The autumn air is refreshing. Why don't we have a cup of tea?"

The maidservant behind him held a tray with both hands and placed it in front of him. There were dozens of dazzling bottles on the tray and the rest were tea sets.

"Hidden Dragon Tea," Wang Siyuan introduced as he took a few pieces and put them into the pot.

"Iron Flower Tea … Dragon Tiger Peak … Snow Sprout … Bamboo Gentleman …" Wang Siyuan slowly and orderly took out tea leaves from different bottles and put them into the teapot. They were all famous teas.

Mengqi didn't understand. With so many tea leaves mixed together, would there be conflict? Could Trickster Wang regulate harmony?

Wang Siyuan poured a cup of light yellow tea for Meng Qi. The tea was fragrant and fragrant.

Mengqi took a sip and almost vomited. What kind of lousy tea was this? It was like overnight hogwash.

Wang Siyuan smiled faintly and said, "They are all famous teas, but they don't taste good when put together."

Mengqi suddenly realized that Wang Siyuan was referring to the mixed contents of many top-notch inheritances. Sooner or later, it would be like this cup of tea?

I practiced Eight Nine Mysteries, which accommodates changes and is supplemented by the Heavenly Golden Scripture. Everything else is just "use", not "body".

Wang Siyuan seemed to have seen through Mengqi's thoughts. He shook his head and coughed a few times, "It's not the moves, but the involvement. Maybe you have also noticed something and want to balance it out. But if you don't distinguish it clearly, you will only sink deeper and deeper. You can sweep the same level today, but you will die a violent death in the future, just like this cup of tea."

Having his thoughts pointed out, Mengqi couldn't help but say in a low tone, "How can I distinguish it clearly?"

Combined with what he said before, from his tone, it seemed that the death of The Conqueror was not as simple as it was recorded?

"The gap is too big, it's really hard to distinguish clearly. But you have four trials, so you must have a different path from the predecessors. Explore along this path slowly, and you will eventually find some clues. Moreover, you will inevitably experience all kinds of secrets in the future." Wang Siyuan's forehead was full of sweat. It seemed that it was quite strenuous for him to say these words, and he was considering what he could say and what he could not.

He coughed out a mouthful of blood, and his lips were red, "If you still have the chance to understand the Invincible Blade of The Conqueror, the rest are just minor details. You must master the Letting Go of the Past."

"This bladesmanship can only be obtained from the Invincible Blade of The Conqueror. If it is obtained from other places, no matter where it comes from, it must be fake!"

It must be fake? The words "Dominator" suddenly popped into Meng Qi's mind.

How could it be fake?

Wang Siyuan took a light breath to ease his discomfort. His expression was slightly crazy, "It's not that I'm better than you and omniscient, but the Wang family has been through so many generations, so they can always find some things, and I happen to be the one who can see them."

"Alright, that's all for today."

Mengqi's expression was slightly complicated, and he slowly stood up, "Why are you giving me these pointers?"

Could it be that the Grand Wang Prince is also doing good deeds? Or is it the Chess Game?

The chess piece in Wang Siyuan's hand suddenly fell and smashed on the chessboard, causing the other chess pieces to fly and roll.

His face was hidden in the shadow of the Bodhi tree, and his tone was a little erratic.

"Helping you to break the game is helping me to break the game."

Mengqi's gaze swept across and suddenly froze. He found that the messed up chessboard showed a new look. The black and white pieces were fragmented, but they contained vitality!
