Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"Where did you get this trap from? You're not making another dirty joke at my expense, are you?"

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

"Yes," Ye Yuchan said seriously, "You are that kind of person."

Yunping immediately felt that he had lost all his authority. No matter what, he was a famous teacher, and it was not a good thing to lose so much prestige.

He glanced helplessly at Ye Yuchan, and just as he was about to say something, a familiar voice came from beside him.

The one-armed girl, carrying a wine jug, sat down next to Ye Yuchan with a slightly flushed face and a cool tone.

"The two white pieces, Tianxing 7 and Feizhen 9, seem ordinary, but they are related to Miss Bai Niao's mid-game situation. Next, that young master surnamed Feng should feign an attack to lure Miss Bai Niao to move her formation in the direction of those two pieces."

"Miss Bai Niao's formation is too easy to guess, and her whereabouts have been completely known."

Ye Yuchan listened blankly to Zhang Ruoxue's words, her mind a little dazed. "Wait, Ruoxue... what are you... talking about?"

“You wouldn’t understand.” Zhang Ruoxue smiled at Ye Yuchan.

The result was just as Zhang Ruoxue had predicted.

At a certain moment, Feng Tanghuan's white piece suddenly launched a fierce attack on Yu Bai Niao's formation.

This action was too ordinary in Yu Bai Niao's eyes. She had already expected the other party to launch an attack at this time, but she had already found a way out and began to shift her formation.

However, just a second before she was about to complete the formation shift—

The black piece is suspended in mid-air.

That seemingly ordinary chess piece, placed there at some unknown time, became her greatest worry.

For a moment, the black pieces were at a loss as to where to place them.

"We've fallen into their trap."

Yun Ping spoke calmly, while glancing at Zhang Ruoxue with considerable surprise.

Unexpectedly, this hot-tempered girl also knows how to play the game of Go—and she saw through Feng Tanghuan's trap at a glance, which shows that her Go skills are definitely not shallow.

It should be at least five levels or higher.

Meanwhile, even those who weren't experts could see that the situation had taken a turn for the better.

The scales of victory began to tip in Feng Tanghuan's favor.

A subtle smile crept onto the tall man's lips. Feng Tangwen could see that it was extremely difficult for Yu Bai Niao to turn the tide in the current situation.

It's a pity; if this girl had realized it sooner, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

"It's a dead end."

Someone in the crowd let out a sigh.

"It's gotten this far, too deep, it's practically like throwing ourselves into it..."

"If I had thought of that sooner, I probably could have escaped."

"Young Master Feng has given Bai Niao Le Lian a loophole to exploit."

"What a pity, what a pity..."

The sighs of the onlookers.

Many people believe that Yu Bai Niao has fallen so deeply into Feng Tang Huan's trap that there is basically no way to reverse the situation.

"........."

How could Yu Bai Niao not know this herself?

She can only hate herself for not thinking of this step, and blame herself for not being skilled enough.

In the end, they couldn't escape this fate.

Her slender, fair fingers gradually lost their strength and slowly drooped down.

"Three latitudes and 12"

The man's voice echoed in my mind.

12 degrees latitude and longitude?

Laymen might not know, but she does.

This is a position on the board of Go.

She glanced at it subconsciously, at the empty space where a piece was waiting to be placed.

Do you mean I have to go down here?

No... this place doesn't seem to be of any use.

Hesitantly, I thought that since I was going to lose anyway, I might as well just let it go.

So the girl raised her hand high and placed the chess piece in that position.

50. Short and weak

"It seems Miss Bai Niao still wants to struggle a bit more."

"You call it a struggle, but it feels like I'm just throwing it around randomly. It feels cold. I don't understand this step at all."

"Of course, he must have given up on himself."

"You got tricked by Young Master Feng, you must be furious right now, right?"

……

The move by Yu Bai Niao caused quite a stir among the people.

Because if it were them, they would have surrendered and given up right now, without even needing to play.

This kind of deadlock is a disadvantage that no one can turn around.

Feng Tanghuan smiled helplessly. He couldn't understand this move, so he assumed that Yu Bai Niao was giving up on herself.

"Junior Sister Bai Niao, this..."

"Don't worry about me, keep going."

Yu Bai Niao spoke indifferently, but the image of a chessboard gradually appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Yu Bai Niao's persistence, Feng Tang Huan shrugged and continued playing helplessly.

……

On the other side, Ye Yuchan frowned again, looking at Yun Ping who was drinking wine, and muttered to herself.

"Hey, you old scoundrel, didn't you say you were going to help her? Hurry up and go help her! If you were in charge, you could definitely break this deadlock!"

"You trust me that much?" Yunping asked with a smile.

When Ye Yuchan met those smiling eyes, she quickly lowered her head so that Yun Ping wouldn't see her face.

Even the sound became much quieter.

"Because you're my teacher..."

Yunping didn't hear clearly: "What did you just say?"

"I didn't say anything!" Ye Yuchan quickly denied.

Yunping nodded knowingly, then pointed to the chessboard in the distance.

"On the other hand, I am helping you, you just can't see it."

Ye Yuchan: "...Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoxue suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Yunping.

She hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it again without success, she asked, "Teacher, was that move you told her to make?"

Yunping nodded. "It's me."

Why go down there?

"You don't understand?" Yunping squinted and asked softly.

"I can understand some of it, but I'm not sure."

"If you can understand it, it means you've almost entered the path," Yunping said with a smile. "Keep reading."

Zhang Ruoxue didn't quite understand what Yunping meant by "entering the Dao," but since Yunping had said so, as his disciple, she had no choice but to shut her mouth and continue watching.

Ye Yuchan, caught between the two, was completely bewildered—what was going on? So, not only could she not fit into the atmosphere, but she was also being ostracized even when playing chess?

Ye Yuchan suddenly felt like she knew nothing but archery.

……

The duel proceeded step by step.

Feng Tanghuan reached out and took a white cloth from the woman beside him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes were filled with endless disbelief.

He looked at the chessboard, and a growing sense of fear began to creep into his heart.

How could... how could it have turned out like this?

Others might not realize it, but he himself has already realized it...

That dragon, the dragon that was surrounded by itself, lured into its own trap, the dragon that was doomed to die...

They actually broke free...

He roughly estimated the number of steps the Jade Bird had taken.

Nine steps.

In just nine steps, he escaped this seemingly hopeless situation.

incredible.

Each of these steps tugged at his heartstrings, and each step made the dragon's figure even more imposing.

In order to kill the dragon of the Jade Bird, Feng Tanghuan deliberately sharpened a sword hidden in the shadows, intending to kill the dragon completely with one strike.

But now, the dragon is even more enraged by its own ambush, and its raging dragon flames seem to be destroying everything, sweeping over the surrounding white guards.
