When Lu Shan went out, he saw that Zhou Mu looked a bit dazed. He immediately ran over and punched him, saying, "Damn it, don't go stupid!"
Zhou Mu noticed Lu Shan's appearance. When the latter threw a punch, he dodged it, but this caused trouble for Lu Shan. The latter couldn't retract his fist in time and could only stagger a few steps.
Finally, he fell heavily to the ground, his face smeared on the ground, and he got a mouthful of dust.
Lu Shan got up, looked at Zhou Mu with a resentful expression, and said, "Brother, you can't do this to me. I was trying to help you, but you repay kindness with enmity. That's a bit unfair."
Zhou Mu smiled and said, "Don't make it sound so high and mighty, you just want to beat me up."
Knowing he couldn't win the argument with Zhou Mu, Lu Shan changed the subject, pointing to Qi Tian in the distance and asking, "Do you know him?"
Zhou Mu nodded, then shook his head. "I don't know him, but I'll have to get to know him sooner or later. I just never expected that he could be so patient as to get to know me as a lowly servant."
"You mean..." Lu Shan was somewhat puzzled, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Zhou Mu turned away and ignored him.
"Business is coming your way, get ready."
Then, the doors of Wentian Tower slowly closed.
Bang bang bang
With a crisp knock, a slightly childish voice rang out from outside the door.
"Junior Gu Han requests an audience with the Lord of Wentian Tower."
Zhou Mu and Lu Shan were playing chess at the moment. On the chessboard, the black and white pieces were intertwined, and the situation had become tense and difficult to determine.
The black pieces are already at a disadvantage, and the white pieces seem to be in imminent danger as well. It's extremely perilous; the slightest mistake could lead to a fatal flaw and a complete loss.
Therefore, at this point, no one dares to let their guard down.
So even after hearing the knocking, neither of them reacted. The man didn't seem to dare to get impatient either. After knocking for a while and seeing no one respond, he remained calm and said loudly, "Junior Gu Han requests an audience with the Lord of Wentian Tower."
On the chessboard, the situation became even more tense.
"You lost."
After placing a chess piece, Lu Shan looked up at Zhou Mu and smiled.
At this moment, on the chessboard, the white pieces stretched out like a long dragon, advancing straight to the heart of the enemy, and the defensive fortifications that the black pieces had painstakingly constructed were instantly destroyed.
Zhou Mu watched the game several times, and finally, seeing that there was no room for error, he sighed and said, "Your chess skills have improved again, but this time, I didn't lose, and you didn't win."
“I clearly won.” Lu Shan was taken aback, then spoke up.
Zhou Mu chuckled, reached out, and swept the white pieces, which had already gained the upper hand, along with the defeated black pieces, onto the ground, leaving only an empty chessboard.
"you……"
Lu Shan hadn't expected Zhou Mu to act like a rogue, and immediately glared at him and said.
Zhou Mu stood up, straightened his clothes, patted off non-existent dust, and said slowly, "No matter how superb your chess skills are, they can't compare to having the power to overturn the game. These black and white chess pieces are nothing but ants in the world. You and I are the players. If you are no match for me, then you have won. I don't accept it, and what can you do about it?"
After saying that, he walked outside.
At this moment, Gu Han's voice rang out again, "Junior Gu Han requests an audience with the Lord of Wentian Tower."
"You little rascal...you really know how to cheat."
Lu Shan was quite helpless.
He had no choice but to obediently pick up the scattered black and white chess pieces, restore the chessboard using his powerful memory, and, following Zhou Mu's habit, make the moves for him. Then, he placed the most crucial piece.
They won
He won.
But it's just for my own amusement.
He sighed and prepared to walk outside. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Feng Qitong standing in the corridor, standing on tiptoe and looking towards the bedroom where Jiang Jinyu was resting. To his disappointment, he did not see that pretty figure through the window.
"Hello."
Lu Shan stood at the door and called out.
Feng Qitong was startled and patted his chest guiltily. After calming down, he looked at Lu Shan, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Lord of Wentian Tower."
"Just call me Lu Shan." Lu Shan smiled.
Zhou Mu had already told him about the connection between Jiang Jinyu and Feng Qitong. However, according to the development of events, both Jiang Jinyu and Feng Qitong had amnesia, but Feng Qitong didn't seem to have amnesia at all. Look at her anxious appearance, she doesn't seem like a stranger at all.
What are you doing here?
“I…” Feng Qitong was taken aback. After a moment’s hesitation, under Lu Shan’s curious gaze, he smiled and said, “I fell in love with someone at first sight and wanted to get to know her. However, it would be impolite to enter a woman’s boudoir so abruptly, so I waited here. But to my disappointment, I have been waiting here for a long time and the girl has not come. Sigh…”
In the end, he couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Shan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "How long have you been waiting here?"
Feng Qitong thought about it seriously for a while, looked at the sky and estimated for a long time before slowly saying, "I've been standing here for about two hours."
“Alright, you can keep waiting. You should be back around dark,” Lu Shan said.
"Does the host mean that person has gone out?" Feng Qitong asked, her eyes wide.
Lu Shan patted Feng Qitong on the shoulder and said, "Keep it up."
After saying that, he ignored the latter and turned to leave.
At that moment, Zhou Mu had already pushed open the door and saw Gu Han, who was calling out "Junior Gu Han".
"You are..."
Hearing the creak of the door opening, Gu Han suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up.
"Come in and talk."
Zhou Mu pushed the door open.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Gu Han was very excited and quickly stood up, but after kneeling for a long time, his lower limbs were numb and he felt sore and numb whenever he moved.
He struggled to hold onto the doorframe, and after a long while, he slowly stood up, wanting to say something, but his throat was already hoarse from shouting, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
When he went inside, he found Zhou Mu waiting for him not far away.
"Slow down, slow down, no rush," Zhou Mu said, crossing his arms.
Gu Han nodded.
The Wentian Tower is no longer as dark and gloomy as it once was. With Zhou Mu's help, the first floor of the Wentian Tower has been converted into a courtyard, and beyond the courtyard is the nine-story pavilion.
Normally, Zhou Mu likes to stand on the top of the nine-story pavilion to enjoy the scenery. From there, one can vaguely see the protective shield that covers the Great Wilderness City.
After Gu Han staggered in, Lu Shan came to meet him and led him to a small hut.
The small house was separated by a curtain.
From the outside, one could vaguely see a round object shimmering with blue lightning inside the curtain; it was unclear what it was.
Gu Han's heart tightened, and he immediately kowtowed again, saying, "Junior Gu Han greets the Lord of Wentian Tower."
