Yan Zheng then looked at Xiao Mingmu, who looked exhausted, and asked, "Second Senior Brother, it's only been a few months, and we're already holding another competition. You're already this tired, yet you still let Senior Brother run wild like this?"
"Nonsense?"
Xiao Mingmu slowly opened his eyes and said, "Back then, when we were acting so recklessly, didn't our senior brother tolerate us?"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a handful of scattered chess pieces from the chessboard.
The chess pieces are half black and half white.
Xiao Mingmu gripped the chess pieces tightly and said, "Two hundred years have passed. It's good enough that he can come out of seclusion to relax. No matter how much trouble he causes, even if he wants to kill immortals or demon saints, I'll just go along with him."
After saying that, the hand holding the chess piece tightened its grip even more.
Then, fine black and white sand flowed out from between his fingers.
Yan Zheng looked at the expression on his second senior brother's face, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
Xiao Mingmu remained silent.
For a long time, the side hall remained quiet.
Xiao Mingmu flicked the fine sand from his hand and asked, "Did you encounter any powerful demons when you took your disciples out this time?"
Yan Zheng, who was standing to the side, replied, "We didn't encounter any cultivators with profound cultivation, but there were quite a few lesser demons than before."
After listening, Xiao Mingmu pondered for a moment, then reached out and tapped the chessboard a few more times before looking at Yan Zheng.
He said, "I called you back so that there would be more people to guard against us. Recently, the demon race has been making some small moves. Not long ago, the third brother discovered a large number of demon race experts. You should pay more attention recently and patrol the area around the sect carefully."
Yan Zheng lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Indeed, we should be more vigilant during this period."
Xiao Mingmu nodded, then propped his head up with his hand and said, "You can go out first, let me rest. I've been a bit tired these past few days."
Yan Zheng didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the side hall.
When Xiao Mingmu was the only one left in the side hall, he slumped down and leaned against the chess table.
I'm exhausted.
It's not that I'm physically tired, it's just that I'm mentally exhausted.
Xiao Mingmu recalled what Wu Er had told him when he first came out of seclusion, saying that he had made a vow to find a Daoist partner.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but chuckle.
“My senior brother, if you really wanted to find a Daoist partner, how could you not find one? You're just fooling yourself.”
