Playing chess?
impossible!
Based on Wu Er's understanding of Xiao Ming's purpose, it couldn't have been just about playing chess; there must have been some other deeper meaning.
He knew his junior brother best. Don't be fooled by Xiao Ming's handsome and innocent appearance; he's not so innocent after all.
There must be something else behind saying it's about playing chess.
He's definitely trying to convince himself to work!
"Um……"
Wu Er squinted at Xiao Mingmu, realizing that after not seeing him for a century, he could see his second junior brother less and less.
Xiao Mingmu scratched his head, looked at Wu Er with a wary expression, and said helplessly, "Senior brother, I didn't mean anything by it, it was just a game of chess."
Even so, Wu Er still didn't believe it.
He shook his head and said, "I won't go."
"You will definitely get off."
How did you know I would play?
"I knew you'd play."
After a series of inexplicable conversations.
Xiao Mingmu stood up, looked at Wu Er, and said, "Senior brother, stop beating around the bush. I've figured it out. You're really bored right now, so you'll definitely play chess."
Wu Er looked Xiao Mingmu up and down again, and nodded, saying, "Good lad, your cultivation has improved a lot. You can even deduce immortals now."
Xiao Mingmu shook his head and said, "My cultivation level is not high enough to deduce immortals, but I can deduce you, Senior Brother."
As he spoke, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Then, Xiao Mingmu added, "Who told you to be so easy to guess, Senior Brother? You can see right through what you're thinking at a glance."
Are you saying I'm naive and have low intelligence?
Wu Er understood the implication in her words and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll beat you up?"
"Then go ahead and beat me up."
Xiao Ming stretched his neck forward, tilted his head forward, and pointed at his own cheek, looking like he wanted to be punched.
He even provocatively said, "Although I know you definitely won't make a move, senior brother, I still have to say something..."
He paused for a moment, then said in an extremely smug voice, "Go ahead and hit me!"
Such a sight would surely be irresistible to most people.
Despite Xiao Mingmu's infuriating behavior, Wu Er didn't make a move, not even a single action.
After more than seven hundred years, I've lost many important people, and now I only have a few junior brothers and sisters left.
They're too busy protecting her to possibly beat her up.
Wu Er couldn't bring himself to do it.
Even a few light taps are too much to bear.
Helpless, Wu Er rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, you win."
Xiao Ming straightened up, dropped his smug look, and smiled at Wu Er.
He said, "I knew it, Senior Brother, you would never hit us."
Wu Er let out a heavy sigh and said, "Alright, didn't you want to play chess? Where's the chessboard? These are all jade slips, where am I supposed to play?"
"Ha, senior brother, please wait a moment."
Then Xiao Mingmu waved his hand at the surroundings, releasing a lot of magical power.
The mountain of jade slips and scrolls in the side hall floated up and then slowly flew to Xiao Mingmu's side, lining up one by one to fly into Xiao Mingmu's wide sleeves.
In no time, they had cleared away all the books in the surrounding area.
Wu Er praised, saying, "You're good. You're even better at using the Qiankun Sleeve and the Artifact Control than I am."
Xiao Mingmu did not thank the person for the praise, but instead wore a bitter expression.
He complained, "It's all your fault! You've made me review so many documents, like a human library. How could the Qiankun Sleeve and the Artifact Control System not work?"
We've brought this up again...
It was indeed Wu Er's fault back then; he suddenly quit, causing a lot of trouble.
Feeling guilty, Wu Er changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about that now, let's play chess first."
"All right."
Xiao Mingmu shrugged, then reached into his sleeve and rummaged around.
Take out a small square table, two cushions, a chessboard and chess pieces, and set them up next to it.
Then, with a flick of his left hand, he opened the previously closed window.
The sunlight streaming in brightened the room and brought some vitality, making it less sleepy.
After finishing these tasks, Xiao Mingmu plopped down on the prayer mat and pointed to the two boxes of chess pieces in front of him.
He asked, "Senior brother, do you want the black piece or the white piece?"
"Blackie, right?"
Wu Er also sat down, and then casually moved the chess box containing the black pieces in front of him.
Xiao Mingmu also pulled the box containing the white chess pieces in front of him and even grabbed a piece inside.
He asked, "Senior brother, why do you always use black pieces?"
Wu Er replied, "Because I like Kuroko, especially Shirai Kuroko."
"Shirai Kuroko?"
Xiao Mingmu didn't understand the meaning of the second half of Wu Er's sentence.
He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You're saying something nonsensical again, something that's hard to understand."
"Of course you wouldn't understand."
Wu Er lowered his head, reached out and picked up a chess piece, saying, "I'll play first."
"Achoo~"
Xiao Mingmu stretched and said, "Okay, hurry up and get off."
The two then fell silent, and the entire side hall was quiet except for the sound of pieces being placed.
After placing about ten pieces, Wu Er frowned as he looked at the chessboard, sensing that he was about to lose.
It has to be said that Wu Er's chess skills are quite terrible.
After only a dozen or so moves, they were already in a losing position.
Compared to Wu Er, who was frowning and deep in thought, Xiao Mingmu was quite lazy.
With his eyes half-open and head propped up, he didn't seem to have thought much about it.
Wu Er kept tapping the chess piece on the board, looking at it over and over again, but still hesitated to make a move.
