294 How about Playing Chess, Chatting and Having A Bowl of Noodles? (2/2)

Master Yan Se slightly stiffened, and was shocked by the fact that the Great Divine Priest of Light had found his successor before he died. However, following the eyesight of the old man, he was more shocked to find that the so-called successor was actually Sangsang. So suddenly he looked shocked and he had an overwhelming feeling of absurdness.

”Your disciple is this... little darkish girl?”

The old man looked at him in surprise, and then answered seriously, ”It is, but Sangsang is not darkish.”

”Ha ha ha ha ha!” With one hand pointing at Sangsang, Master Yen Se used the other to hold his belly which was aching from laughing. He looked at the old man and said, ”Do you know, the disciple you are so proud of is the handmaiden of my disciple?”

The old man was startled and frowned, asking, ”Isn't that person the core disciple of the Headmaster of Academy?”

Master Yan Se proudly said, ”Taking advantage of the Headmaster of Academy's absence, I stole him so he could be my disciple too.”

The old man sighed, ”I see. I didn't expect that young man to actually have such a good fortune... But even if Sangsang is his handmaiden, so what? In the future, Sangsang will inherit my Divine Skill. Even if she doesn't take my place in the West-Hill Divine Palace, she will still be the most excellent figure among the young generation of Haotian Taoism. So how can your disciple be compared to her?”

Master Yan Se sneered and contemptuously said, ”Not to say that my disciple is the future Nation Master of the Tang, nor the achievements he will make under the instruction of the Headmaster of Academy. Let's just talk about their relations. Even if this girl becomes the Great Divine Priest of Light in the future, she still has to make the bed or even warm my disciple's bed.”

The old man sighed and said, ”Do you feel proud?”

Master Yan Se spit and fiercely said, ”At least I'm better than you in one aspect, why shouldn't I be proud?”

...

...

The seemingly warm dialogue between old friends actually hid many complicated things such as aura of Divine light. These childish disputes were just like a foreplay before a fatal fight.

At this time, Sangsang took a broom and clear water from the backyard to clean up the phlegm on the ground. She did not understand what the two elderly people said and only felt that they were very powerful. To some extent, she was worried that they would quarrel or even fight with each other.

Chen Pipi, who had been sitting beside the chessboard, was clear about what he had heard. In the midst of the aura of two peak-leveled figures, he felt that a fight was about to break out, thus he was extremely nervous and fearful. It was hard to tell when his fat body had begun sweating, and he even felt weak and limp.

He could not sit down anymore, nor could he pretend that nothing had happened. He could not pretend that they were just two ordinary old guys quarreling under locust trees, beside wells or at the street corner, so he stood up and said with a gasp, ”Can I go first?”

The old man and Master Yan Se both looked at the chessboard and answered in unison, ”No.”

Beside the chessboard, Chen Pipi was a stabilizer and also a witness. His family background was the stabilizer, and his status as an Academy student was the witness. If Master Yan Se failed to control the old man, he would start the fight ahead of time.

Chen Pipi was frightened by their unanimous answer, and his chubby body trembled and knocked over the chessboard. The chess pieces all fell to the ground and were scattered everywhere.

Looking at the empty chessboard, Master Yan Se sighed, ”It seems we have to stop now.”

After a moment of silence, the old man nodded.

Sangsang was holding her broom, nervously standing aside. Although she didn't understand what they said, she still faintly felt something bad would happen soon.

Sangsang didn't want them to fight, for one was the teacher of young master, and the other one was her own teacher. Anyway, fighting was not as good as playing chess, even if they continued to quarrel with each other when playing chess.

She put the broom aside and squatted down to pick up the black and white chess pieces scattered on the floor.

Then she came to the tableside with those chess pieces and put them on the chessboard one by one.

The chess game was restored and none of the pieces were misplaced.

”Fortunately I had glanced at it, otherwise I would not be able to put them back.”

Sangsang patted her chest slightly and then looked at the two old men beside the table, saying, ”Go on.”

The two didn't know what to say.

Staring at those chess pieces on the chessboard, Chen Pipi didn't know what to say.

Sangsang's held her hands together behind her. She slowly looked down at her old shoes and softly muttered, ”They are ready, why not continue?”

Suddenly she looked up, and her willowlike bright eyes gazed at the two old men.

”Are you hungry? Then I will cook noodles for you. How about noodles with fried eggs?”
