In such a small occasion, there was no need to go through so much trouble. All they had to do was to stand behind their fellow disciples. It was simple and clear.
There was no neutrality either. Being neutral in such an occasion meant offending everyone!
Very quickly, there were five people standing behind Fan Tong, and four behind Gu Huai. These Free and Unfettered Disciples from the mainland had already decided on their own faction after joining the Free and Unfettered Wandering Guild. There was no way to avoid this.
The only uncertain one was the new disciple, Single Ear. Perhaps he was in his own faction!
Gu Huai stared at him and said word by word, "Brother Single Ear, please choose carefully!"
Was this a threat?
Lou Xiaoyi hated being threatened the most. In fact, among the ten of them, who belonged to which faction was like a fly on a bald man's head. It was obvious. If you want me to join your group and support you, sure, we can talk about it! Everyone put out their conditions. A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. A bird waits for the best price. It's simple!
You don't even give a hair. You think you can solve the problem by threatening people? You're not right! There's no basis for cooperation!
Naturally, he stood behind Fan Tong. Inside, he found it funny that Rice Bucket's partner was an idiot!
Six against four. The Xiao Yao Sect had made a difficult choice. Perhaps it was also an unwise choice.
Coldly glancing at Lou Xiaoyi, Gu Huai said, "I will report this to the sect. If you win the bet, it has nothing to do with me. I will return to the sect and accept my punishment. If you lose, I will not be responsible for Shaka's loss!"
The four of them left together. Fan Tong looked at Lou Xiaoyi and thanked him, "I heard from sister Ka Wah. Thank you for your support!"
Lou Xiaoyi smiled, "It's just an exchange. You're too serious."
Fan Tong was serious, "An exchange depends on the person. If Gu Huai came to make a deal with you, would you agree?"
Lou Xiaoyi smiled bitterly, "Probably not. Brother Gu's aura is too sharp. I'm not used to it …"
Fan Tong smiled knowingly and gathered everyone into a group.
"Six people! Let me introduce you, Junior One-Eared. Regardless of whether we succeed this time or not, we'll be on the same side in the future. Please take good care of us! "
Everyone saw each other again. This was a true meeting, different from the perfunctory greetings of the past.
Fan Tong's tone turned serious. "We're all on the same side, so I won't be hypocritical. Now that we're compared to the Buddhists, we only have a fifty-fifty chance of winning if it's the normal Six Gambling. Therefore, Gu Huai's words are not without reason. However, different positions lead to different choices. There's no such thing as good or bad, right or wrong. In the cultivation world, there's no such thing as pure reason.
If you want to get it, you need to take risks. We took the risk in advance, while they took the risk later. Everyone has something to rely on. Before the results are out, who can say for sure? "
Everyone nodded their heads. They were all Jin Dan people with strong wills, and they were very clear about their own choices.
Fan Tong continued, "Among the six of us, Junior Jia is the best at the Six Gambling. Moreover, the Six Gambling is largely determined by the heavens. If I say that among us, no one has better luck than Junior Jia, I'm sure no one would deny it, right?"
Other than Lou Xiaoyi, everyone else laughed, because in the mountain gate, the martial brothers and sisters played the Six Chess. Jiahua was an expert. Not only was her calculation profound, her luck had always been very good. She was always able to get the pieces she needed.
Fan Tong decided, "Then, the King's son will be Junior Ka Wah. I'll be the Prime Minister, Zuo Li will be the Chariot, Kong Gu will be the Horse, Yue Lu and One-Eared will be the Pawn. If anyone has any objections, why don't you voice them out so we can discuss them?"
No one had any objections. The arrangement was fair. Fan Tong was the strongest, blocking the King's path. Zuo Li was the second strongest, turning into the Chariot, rushing back and forth.
Lou Xiaoyi sighed inwardly. Another Pawn! In the Chessboard of Heaven and Earth, this position seemed to be fated with him. It had been following him like a ghost! Actually, he felt that he could also be the King if he only depended on luck. But it was just a thought.
Fan Tong cheered, "If the Buddhists didn't move, with their six Longhu disciples, we would be at a disadvantage no matter if it was the Six Cards or the Variant Six Cards! It's hard to say whether we can win!
But since they've been moved, we have a chance of winning. If Gu Huai was here, our chance of winning would be above seventy percent. Unfortunately, we're trapped in the internal strife …
But even now, the Buddhists are evenly matched with us. As long as we work together, victory is in sight. Not only will we keep Shaka for the sect, but we'll also have the upper hand in the internal strife. This is a heavy responsibility. We can't ignore it! "
The plan was set. There was no more hesitation. Delay could lead to changes, and changes could be the cause of defeat.
Fan Tong lit the Incense of Heaven and Earth. A wisp of smoke rose into the clouds. This was the ceremony to make a request. All that was left was to wait.
Lou Xiaoyi still had some questions. He walked up to Ka Wah and smiled mischievously.
"Your Highness, I still have some things I don't understand. Please give me some pointers!"
Ka Wah said helplessly, "Say it. You can't calm down before the battle. Instead, you have so many questions. I don't know how you cultivated your Jin Dan!"
Lou Xiaoyi laughed, "We are unorthodox loose cultivators. We can fight to the death anytime, anywhere. What do we need to prepare for? We just have to fight!
Junior Brother, I just want to know a few questions.
Is the battle between the Six Cards decided by life and death?
Are the moves of the chess pieces completely decided by the king? Or can the chess pieces be self-determined to a certain extent?
What's the difference between attacking and defending? Does the attacking side have some kind of advantage?
How is the battle space defined? Is one side trapped? Or can it be moved around the chessboard?
How is victory determined? Are all the chess pieces destroyed? Or is the Queen tricked?
Hmm, if my pawn crosses the river, can he still come back? "
Ka Wah sighed. This was the trouble of cultivators from unorthodox sects. They didn't know much about the Heaven and Earth Chessboard. They just had to read about it from the ancient records. Hence, there were all kinds of people passing off fish eyes as pearls.
"This is the Six Cards, not Chinese Chess! The rules are different! Let me tell you now. You have to listen carefully. If you really lose your life in there, I won't have to spend any more effort to arrange the Rainbow Team for you.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard has always been a game of life and death! For a land battle like ours, it's not a battle of orthodoxy between the Ten Thousand Buddhas and the Carefree Chessboard. Hence, it's not a game of death. It's a game of life. In other words, if you're injured and can't hold on, you can withdraw yourself. This is allowed by the rules. It's the same as being eaten! "
Lou Xiaoyi heaved a long sigh, "Good! Good! Good! The game of life is good. Everyone, don't be so nervous! "
Ka Wah glared at him, "One-ear, I'm warning you! If you don't put in any effort and pretend to be injured and leave, everyone's eyes are clear. You can't hide it from them!
Although my Carefree Chessboard doesn't have many rules and is tolerant of the disciples, we can't tolerate such shameless people! If you do this, no matter if you win or lose, you won't be able to escape the sect's punishment. Moreover, the agreement between you and me is no longer valid. You have to be clear about this! "
