Just as Yan Fang was about to take over the house, Li Yundong and Su Chan left the school and bid farewell to Kris, Feng Na, and the others.
Along the way, while holding Li Yundong’s arm, the girl rubbed her belly and said sadly, Yundong, I’m starving! I haven’t eaten all day!”
Li Yundong was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the girl hadn’t eaten anything after coming back with Ao Wushuang in the morning. He had thought that she would be able to eat something at the banquet at night, but she hadn’t.
Li Yundong couldn’t help patting the little girl’s head and saying, “Well, I’ll get you something delicious when we get back home! What do you want to eat?”
She looked up and said with a smile, “I like everything you cook!”
Li Yundong thought about it and found that they had just returned to the community and passed by a supermarket. He smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll cook seafood for you today!”
Hearing this, the girl’s index finger moved, and she beamed with joy, “Okay, okay, I want to eat crabs!”
He waved his hand and said, “Okay!”
They turned around and went to the supermarket. After buying a few pounds of crabs in the seafood section, Su Chan was so happy that she took the basket of crabs and skipped home.
After entering the house, they saw that the little foxes were watching TV in the living room. When the little fox Ling Yue saw Li Yundong, she immediately shouted, “Leader is back!”
The other foxes also started to clamor. “Leader, you took Su Chan out for dinner, while we didn’t have anything to eat at home. It’s so unfair!”
Li Yundong asked in wonderment, “You haven’t eaten yet? Where’s Zi Yuan?”
Su Chan thought to herself, “Zhenren Zi Yuan has become the chef of the Fox Zen School? Why is Yundong’s first reaction to ask for her when they have no food to eat? No, I have to learn how to cook so that Yundong can think of me first in the future!”
Ling Yue said, “Zhenren Zi Yuan has gone out. No one knows where she went after you left!”
Li Yundong asked curiously, “Didn’t she get you something to eat before leaving?”
Ling Yue complained, “No, she left in a hurry, so each of us just ate a bowl of instant noodles!” As she said this, she noticed the crabs in Su Chan’s hand and immediately said happily, “We will eat seafood tonight?”
Su Chan quickly hid the basket behind her back. “Yundong bought it for me!”
The faces of Ling Yue and the little foxes suddenly changed. They looked at Li Yundong with bitter expressions and said, “Leader, you can’t be so mean to us!”
Li Yundong smiled awkwardly and said, “Okay, okay, I’ll cook for you now!” Then, he turned back and said to Su Chan with a smile, “Well, there are so many crabs, and you can’t eat them all. Besides, crabs are cold because of yin. It’s not good for you to eat too much of them. Can you give some to your Shijie and Shimei?”
Su Chan pouted and didn’t want to laugh. She thought for a while before saying, “Then you have to teach me how to cook so that I won’t have anything to eat when you’re gone. It’s pitiful to eat instant noodles like them!”
Li Yundong smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll teach you!” He then said to the little foxes, “You can watch TV while I make dinner.”
The little foxes immediately cheered, “Long live Leader!”
Li Yundong shook his head and couldn’t help but laugh. He put on his apron and entered the kitchen. Su Chan followed him closely, watching his every move with her big eyes, and secretly recording it all in her heart.
When she saw Li Yundong washing the crab and boiling the water in the pot next to him, she was ready to throw the crab in and cook it. The girl couldn’t bear to let out a cry.
Li Yundong looked back and saw that she had put her hands in front of her eyes. Through her fingers, a gap appeared through which she watched the crabs being cooked timidly.
Li Yundong knew that Su Chan was kind and soft-hearted, so he smiled and said, “Don’t worry. They will be at peace soon.” As he said this, he threw the crabs in one by one.
Su Chan saw that the crabs could still struggle at first, but soon their shells turned red. She couldn’t bear it, so she softly recited the Great Compassion Mantra. But after a while, she saw a crab stepping on the body of its companion and struggling to climb out of the pot. Seeing that it was about to climb out, she quickly stepped forward and reached out her hand. With a flick of her finger, the crab bounced back into the pot.
The poor crab, which had tried its best to escape, immediately rolled back into the pot and turned over in the water. After a while, it was completely cooked.
Li Yundong turned to look at Su Chan and said with a faint smile, “Amitabha, how cruel you are!”
Su Chan made a face at Li Yundong, put her palms together, and said, “Amitabha, the earlier you die, the earlier you can be reincarnated!”
Li Yundong laughed and pinched the little girl’s nose intimately.
After they had been busy in the kitchen for a while, the girl went out with the dishes, and she suddenly met Ao Wushuang coming out of the room. Su chan immediately smiled and said, “Master, dinner is ready. Let’s eat together!”
Ao Wushuang frowned. She forced a smile at Su Chan and said, “You guys eat. I have something to do, so I’m going out for a while.”
With this, she went to the balcony alone. Without saying goodbye to Li Yundong or the little foxes of the Fox Zen School, she turned into a beam of green light and left quickly.
At this time, it was late at night, and no one noticed Ao Wushuang flying through the air. She flew all the way to Dongwu City. When she arrived at the familiar Shantang Street, she found a place where no one was around and landed.
Although it was late at night, Shantang Street was still brightly lit. The antique buildings were full of colorful lights. From a distance, it looked like a colorful dragon lingering by the moat. The people in the streets were still flowing like silk, the fragrance of snacks was lingering, and the voices of peddlers could be heard.
Ao Wushuang walked quickly through this ancient street and came to her former residence. When she got to the door, she suddenly froze for a moment. Her outstretched hand also stopped in mid-air, as if she was hesitating about something.
However, Ao Wushuang secretly pinched a paper crane in her other hand. She gritted her teeth, pushed the door open, and walked in.
As soon as she went through the door, she saw a tall, burly man sitting with his back to her. In front of this man was a square table, next to which were two stools. One of them sat a fashionable woman with a charming face. She was holding an oil lamp and looking at Ao Wushuang with interest.
The man seemed to be aware of Ao Wushuang’s arrival. Without looking back, he pointed at the empty stools opposite him and said in a hoarse, old voice, “Here you are! Come and sit down!”
Ao Wushuang took a deep breath and walked slowly over to the man. She saw a set of Go in front of him, with two jars of black and white chess pieces placed in front of it. He was following her with his eyes. Ao Wushuang was not in a hurry to sit down. She asked in a low voice, “Why did you ask me to come here?”
The man smiled slightly, threw down a black chess piece, and said, “Don’t you have anything to ask me?”
Ao Wushuang frowned. “Yes, I have many questions to ask you! But will you answer me?”
The man smiled and said, “If you don’t ask, how will you know whether I will tell you or not?”
Only then did Ao Wushuang sit down and say coldly, “Liu Ye, why are you pretending to be dead? What are you going to do?”
Liu Ye smiled and pushed the white chess piece in front of himself over to her. He answered absent-mindedly, “Don’t be in a hurry, play a game with me.”
Ao Wushuang stared straight at him. Without looking at the chess pieces, she immediately pushed them back. “I’m not good at Go. I won’t play with you.”
Liu Ye didn’t mind. He smiled and said, “I forgot.” He then turned to the coquettish woman beside him and said, “Mei Niang, get me a set of chess.”
Mei Niang smiled seductively and walked away, her hips swishing. After a while, she came back with a set of chess pieces.
Liu Ye slowly put away the Go board in front of him, and then laid out the chessboard. He put the pieces on the board with Ao Wushuang and said, “I can’t understand why you like playing chess, but you don’t like playing Go?”
Ao Wushuang said lightly, “It takes too much energy to play Go. I just don’t like it.”
Liu Ye sighed lightly and said, “Go is the military way, and every step contains the ways of martial arts, so every move is easy to deal with, and every move is full of the intention to kill! Masters make plans, and control the overall situation quietly. When the people in the game find out, they have no way to reverse the situation!”
Ao Wushuang sneered and said, “Hum, so I don’t like Go. I don’t like the feeling of being manipulated.” Then she raised her head, looked around at her previous residence, and said, “Did you buy this place?”
Liu Ye nodded slightly and said, “I just rented it again. You lived here for so long. If you let others rent it, you will be very sad even if you don’t say it.”
Ao Wushuang was expressionless. She held a cannon with her slender fingers and put it in the middle of the chessboard with a snap. “You want to play the emotions card? Well, let me ask you, why did you pretend to be dead? When you came to me, you had already planned it all, hadn’t you?”
Liu Ye smiled slightly. He pressed his finger on his horse and gently moved forward to solve Ao Wushuang’s attack. “In fact, with your intelligence, you should have guessed it when you saw me in Mount Qingcheng,” he said.
Ao Wushuang’s eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly moved a pawn and said coldly, “It was you! It’s okay that you slaughtered Mount Qing City, but why did you frame Li Yundong? Don’t you know that will bring great trouble to the world and Li Yundong?”
Liu Ye smiled faintly and checked against the pawn on the other side. “Since when did you start to care about Li Yundong like this?”
Ao Wushuang agreed and said in a cold voice, “He is the partner that my disciple likes. I did this out of consideration for my disciple.”
Liu Ye sighed and shook his head slightly. “You are too emotional. You’re cold outside but warm inside! This is your Achilles’ heel!”
Ao Wushuang snorted coldly and did not comment. She continued rapidly playing chess with Liu Ye.
The two of them fought with each other at a fast speed, which soon came to a showdown. However, Liu Ye’s skill in chess was obviously superior. After a while, Liu Ye formed a situation of two pieces vying for the throne. Ao Wushuang had various thoughts in her mind, so she forced herself to play along. She frowned slightly and had no choice but to lead the attack.
Liu Ye smiled and said, “You asked me why I wanted to frame Li Yundong? Hey, look at the current situation. Li Yundong is like this old commander-in-chief. He’s always only active in his own territory and almost never goes beyond the thunder pool… If I don’t force him out of his hole, will he leave by himself?”
Ao Wushuang frowned and said coldly, “You don’t even forget to manipulate others when you play chess, do you? Is he also one of your chess pieces?”
Liu Ye laughed and said, “The sky is the curtain, and the earth is the chessboard. All the creatures on earth are chess pieces!”
Ao Wushuang said coldly, “Then how can you be sure that he is the king? How can you be sure that you can win?”
