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

Shen Lian remained calm and composed as he gently placed his white stone. His robe swayed in the wind and he looked elegantly out of the world.

Ge Yuan eventually lost interest, he put down the stone and said, ”Wuji, have you been busy the affairs of the Discipline Hall lately?”

He had a solemn face and it seemed like he the affairs of the Discipline Hall really mattered to him.

Zhao Wuji stood one side. His cultivation of the Figureless Holy Script had reached an impressive level where even wise Huandan cultivators would not be able to notice him at a close distance.

Just like an eagle who could break the sky, even if a person had sharp eyesight, he would not pay attention to the random rocks and grass on the ground.

It was just that Zhao Wuji was not a random rock or grass. He was a Daoist who cultivates.

He timidly answered, ”Nothing much lately.”

Ge Yuan coughed and asked, ”Really?”

Zhao Wuji nodded his head.

Shen Lian brushed across the game board and the black and white stone scattered all over. He casually said, ”It's hard to conclude this round of chess. Let's leave it as it is a victory or defeat doesn't matter too much to us.”

Ge Yuan looked at the scrawny and timid Zhao Wuji and sighed, ”That is why he's the chief now and you, you've been cultivating for so many years and yet you've not entered Dao.”

Zhao Wuji responded, ”Senior Apprentice-Brother Shen makes a good chief. If it wasn't for him, I would have been killed by the True Wandering Light Sword.”

Ge Yuan groaned lightly and continued the conversation, ”Chief, what do you intend to do with Meng Xunzhen and his disciple?”

Shen Lian said, ”It's about time for the Qingjiang Sword sect to pay us a visit.”

Ge Yuan knew that Shen Lian had planned in advance. Although Shen Lian did not take any action after capturing the two he had informed every disciple of the school about the capture. The two disciples who were dismembered from their limbs managed to rejuvenate their limbs thanks to the Life-regenerating Elixir but their form was not as good as before. The meridian points of their hands and legs would need to be reopened and that would take a whole lot of effort to the extent that it could possibly delay their progress in Huandan in the future.

The two disciples were considered to be quite reputed in the upper house. Although they were grateful for Shen Lian's kindness, some disciples felt that Shen Lian was weak for not taking actions against Meng Xunzhen and his disciple after capturing them.

The upper house was filled disciples who wanted the quick way to gain power. Most of them were somehow related to the Doyens of Qing Xuan and that was why news travels fast when they start gossiping.

Ge Yuan had a strong personality and yet he was curious about Shen Lian's plan. That was the main reason why he invited Shen Lian over for a round of game.

The game was also to test Shen Lian. He played aggressively and tried pushing Shen Lian to the edge but Shen Lian turned the tables around effortlessly.

He had the upper hand when they started the round but halfway through, he has lost all his advantages without him realizing it.

So he looked for an excuse and interrupted the game and at the same time used his disciple's words to probe into Shen Lian's plan. Within a few moves, Ge Yuan had a new found understanding of Shen Lian. Although he was extremely charismatic at that duel with Bai Suhuan that factor was certainly not enough to hold the position of the chief.

Shen Lian had definitely outdone the expectations of Ge Yuan.
