Chapter 200 The Unpredictability of the Black and White (1/2)

Shen Lian clapped his hands and said, ”I look forward to your good news.”

A dash of greenish white Qi essence came out from his sleeve and landed in front of Gu Caiwei. The Dao Qi concentrated and it transformed into a piece of talisman order. The Dao words on the talisman order were simple, there were barely a few strokes but it had a deep meaning.

This was the Qing Xuan's talisman order and it could only be produced by the chief as it was something that represents Qing Xuan. Back then, Chen Jianmei was said to have one too but Shen Lian had yet to see it.

Shen Lian has learned many secrets and benefited from it after he took over as the Chief of Qing Xuan.

Gu Caiwei took the talisman order and kept it in her sleeve, she smiled and asked, ”Anything else?”

Shen Lian had a serious face, he got up from the stone couch and politely said, ”Take care.” He was very respectful and polite.

Gu Caiwei giggled, she felt that Shen Lian was still the same old Shen Lian who was simple and warm and yet he would do something strange or funny once in a while. He was still such a cheerful kid.

He personally sent Gu Caiwei out of the hall as she took out a jade flute. The melody of the flute traveled far away and very soon, a celestial crane flew by. Its feather was pure white, smooth and delicate and it had a long neck. It made a slight sound and it sounded clean and warm, oozing celestial vibes.

Inspired by Shen Lian who adopted Qianmo, Gu Caiwei felt that it was not a bad idea to raise a spiritual creature as her mode of transportation and she went and look for one.

Although its flying skills were not as polished as Qianmo, it was definitely as stylish as it was.

Gu Caiwei summoned her crane as she wanted to use it as her mode of transportation and not to show off. Considering that she was tasked to set up a new school in the East Sea, it would look more convincing traveling on a crane than walking on foot. She lightly rode on the back of the crane and it soared up to the sky and very soon disappeared somewhere beneath the clouds.

Shen Lian watched Gu Caiwei leave and thought to himself, ”Our school has been overly modest and plain for the past few years.” He did some calculations and intend to attain an instrument that could transform into a magnificent pull cart powered by exotic or rare beasts. He would gift that to Gu Caiwei as a token of appreciation.

As for himself, he once read a sentence that said 'riding six dragons to heaven'. One day in the future after achieving immortality, he would love to look for a real dragon and he would look so cool.

He thinks it was not wrong to indulge in luxury and he would like to experience many more different things in life.

Such intentions came with many consequences and he would never expect that this would stir drama for him.

A month later, Shen Lian had yet to interrogate Meng Xunzhen and his disciple, as if he had forgotten that he had taken them in captive. Even when Jing Qing Tongzhi made his trip to the back mountain, he would not engage in conversations with them and only brought them some acorns and water to prevent them from starvation.

Shen Lian did not ask about them while the other two were living with anxiety. After all, a person who was stripped up their mana would return to a normal being and their desires and lust would be more intense. Furthermore, Meng Xunzhen has attempted several times to break free from the restraining spell by summoning the True Wandering Light Sword but to no avail.

Shen Lian made a trip to the Tianyuan Peak. The peak housed a peaceful forest of old pine trees and was indeed a natural shelter against the sun.

He was with a white game stone while being engaged in a deadly duel with Ge Yuan who was with the black.

The Game of Go consisted of one hundred and eighty-one pieces of black stones and one hundred and eighty pieces of white stones. It spans across nineteen grids to form three hundred sixty-one intersection points. After making the first move, there would be three hundred and sixty-one options to the second move and the third move would have three hundred and fifty-nine directions to take, and so forth...until the very last option left.

Every game of Go would come to a point where it ran out of chess pieces. But the possibilities of a game of Go could bring was astonishing. Even an immortal Zhenren who had achieved the Dao of celestials would be amazed by the unpredictability exchange between the black and white.

Ge Yuan had entered the state of nothingness and was not far away from Powang. His Yin spirit was strong and showed the tendency of evolving into Yang spirit. In other words, he was a lot stronger compared to the time when Shen Lian just entered Qing Xuan.

But he had never gained the upper hand against Shen Lian. Every time he thought he was able to trap Shen Lian, Shen Lian could turn the tables around within the next five to six steps.
