Bai Chen couldn't see Wen Hexuan's expression, but he could feel the depth of Wen Hexuan's affection for him. He admitted that he was truly moved!
Because, before the literary giant pursued him, and before Gu Liyan stepped forward to help him, Bai Chen liked this naive young man!
If Wen Hexuan were to die in his place, how could Bai Chen's conscience be at peace? It would be better to die and end it all, bidding farewell to the mortal world!
Yi Ge saw a resolute attitude in Bai Chen's eyes, filled with despair and a do-or-die determination.
Yi Ge chuckled, pointed to the ground, and said, "Since you want to die, I won't stop you. Just crash into this stage and die!"
Wen Hexuan wiped away his tears, stood up stiffly like a puppet, and slowly walked towards the stage.
"No...no..." Bai Chen gritted his teeth and kept calling out in his heart, trying to stop Wen Hexuan, but he was powerless to break free from Yi Ge's spiritual pressure and couldn't utter a single word.
Thud—
Blood splattered on the stage as Wen Hexuan slammed into it without hesitation. Even with his head bleeding, he remained conscious!
"Ha, didn't you eat enough? How can you kill yourself with such weak force? Use your strength! Concentrate and slam your head against the stage! Die! Useless trash!" Yi Ge suddenly spoke coldly, "After you die, I'll kill that guy and make him pay with his life!"
Wen Hexuan's icy eyes turned unusually cold, and he stood still without moving.
Yi Ge sneered, "What? Don't you want to die? Do you think the rules of the Chess Alliance are that simple? Let me tell you the truth, there are examples of people taking the place of death, but there have only been three such cases since the Chess Alliance was founded!"
"Do you know why? It's because no matter how the person who dies in our place dies, we'll bring them back to life and continue to torture and destroy their body until they no longer want to die!"
Yi Ge burst into laughter. "You think dying is so easy? What a ridiculous fellow! We, the Chess Alliance, can make anyone die or live as we wish! Because we are the true rulers of this world!"
Madness, cruelty
But it carries with it boundless passion.
This is the Chess Alliance
Their lives and deaths are not determined by fate; on the contrary, they hold the power of life and death in this world!
Bai Chen was trembling all over. What had he done? How could he have invited such a crazy chess player here?
Wrong!
He was wrong. He underestimated the Chess Alliance. He didn't expect that group of chess players were all lunatics!
"It's over, everything's over. He's dead, and he dragged Xiao Wen down with him—"
Bai Chen was filled with regret at this moment. He had no regrets about dying, but he really didn't want to implicate others!
Just as Bai Chen was in despair, Gu Liyan mumbled sleepily, "It's so noisy..."
Yige immediately spoke gently, "Little one, you're awake!"
Gu Liyan opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, instantly becoming much more sober. "I, how could I..."
He's being held by an older woman?!
Before Gu Liyan could finish her sentence, Yi Ge patted her cheeks and said shyly, "Oh my, you're so cute, I can't help but want to kiss you!"
Startled, Gu Liyan hurriedly pushed her away and kept his distance, saying, "I... I'm a married man! Don't touch me."
"Hehe, I'm old enough to be your mother, do you think I have any feelings for you?" Yi Ge couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Gu Liyan was speechless. Had this old lady forgotten to take her medicine before going out?
Seeing Gu Liyan's speechless expression, Yi Ge also became serious. "Alright, alright, it was just a joke. I'm not like other people who are bloodthirsty!"
Wen Hexuan: That's you!
Yi Ge came to Gu Liyan's side, hooked her hand and pinched Gu Liyan's chin, speaking in a teasing tone, "My name is Yi Ge, you can just call me Ge Niang. You are such a handsome little guy, you will definitely become a treasure in my Chess Alliance!"
Gu Liyan was surprised that a woman in this world would be so bold. She quickly stepped back and said, "My name is Gu Liyan. I don't want to join the Chess Masters for the time being, so please don't confuse me with you!"
Yi Ge immediately frowned and looked at Gu Liyan with displeasure:
"Hmph, you little brat, don't be ungrateful! You possess the skills of chess, yet you don't join my Chess Players Alliance. Do you expect to join that filthy organization, Qingge Hall?"
Gu Liyan glanced at Bai Chen and nodded firmly. "That's right! I'm going to join Qingge Hall! As long as I'm here, you won't be able to touch a hair on my brother Bai's head!"
Yi Ge was slightly taken aback, but then looked at Bai Chen below the stage and burst into laughter, "Hahaha, so loyal and righteous, willing to sacrifice yourself to protect the one you love? Good! Very good indeed!"
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and said nothing, subconsciously clutching his shoulder, which was in unbearable pain.
Yi Ge squinted at Gu Liyan's belongings and said coldly, "That knife is poisoned. Everyone in the Chess Alliance is immune to all poisons. If you join us, you can be fearless! Are you sure you really don't want to join my Chess Alliance?"
Gu Liyan gritted her teeth and gasped for breath, "I, Gu Liyan, will never join the ranks of you lunatics, nor will I be poisoned to death! Just give up!"
Yi Ge's crimson eyes were fixed on Gu Liyan, and for some reason, this version of Gu Liyan was surprisingly pleasing to her! Suddenly, Yi Ge unconsciously licked her tongue, making no attempt to hide it beneath her veil.
"What an interesting little fellow! Very well, I'll see how long you can hold out!"
Gu Liyan frowned subconsciously, only to hear Yi Ge wave his hand and say, "This person is valued by our Chess Alliance, and his life belongs to the Chess Alliance! None of you can lay a finger on him! Otherwise, you will be making an enemy of our Chess Alliance!"
