Feng Tianlan got down from white cutie-pie’s back and sat directly opposite the Imperial Preceptor. She looked at him with cold eyes and her voice was filled with intense anger, “You know a lot, but you hid it from me.”
Not to mention hiding it from her, he was even helping Mobai deceive her. As expected, the Imperial Preceptor was a big liar, she should not trust him. This person did not differentiate between good and bad, he did everything according to his mood.
The Imperial Preceptor pointed at the chessboard on the table and gestured for her to play. “There’s no need for me to tell you.”
Feng Tianlan only glanced at the chessboard. It was still the same chessboard she had played in the Xuantian Continent. There were no changes and it was still a dead end. This was because she never backed down. No matter what, she had to stick to herself and her people.
“There’s no need, but why did you help him lie to me?” Feng Tianlan’s voice was slightly angry. She was really angry because she had no idea what kind of pain Mobai was suffering and what she should do.
She had left him because she thought that that would reduce his pain, but was that really the case? Was it really enough for her to do this?
“Why should I tell you?” Imperial Preceptor looked up at Feng Tianlan’s angry look and pointed at the chessboard. “You might as well move the chessboard. Maybe the situation will change.”
“I’m not in the mood.” Feng Tianlan said coldly without even looking at it.
She still remembered being with Mobai today. Even when they didn’t touch each other, he was still had to endure the pain. He didn’t show it, but she noticed that he was enduring it.
Wasn’t it that as long as their skin didn’t touch, it wouldn’t hurt? Why was he still hurting? What other reason was there?
“Chess is like life. Why don’t you make a move? I might change my mind and tell you.” The Imperial Preceptor pointed at the chessboard in front of him, insisting that she make a move.
Feng Tianlan only glanced at the chessboard. Her beautiful eyes were very impatient, but when she thought about Si Mobai’s forbearance and how he actually endured the pain to chase her away, she became even more annoyed. However, when she looked up at the Imperial Preceptor’s unmoving expression, she knew very well that if she did not play chess, he would really not tell her.
“Actually, isn’t it better to abandon one person in order to deal with the situation?” The Imperial Preceptor looked at her and said indifferently.
Feng Tianlan glanced at him coldly and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She continued to look at the chessboard and realized that as long as she moved an important chess piece to the other party, she would be able to defend the situation. The chess piece on the other side would also not be eaten… it seemed like a win-win situation.
However, looking at it again, she realized that her side had too many weaknesses as she had wanted to protect too many of them. On the other hand, the other party was completely risking his life. He did not care about anyone’s death at all. He only cared about whether he could win or not.
Feng Tianlan picked up a chess piece and wanted to place it down. However, when she thought of what the Imperial Preceptor said, she suddenly became much clearer. She held it tightly in her hands and refused to place the chess piece.
The Imperial Preceptor saw her hesitation and raised his eyebrows. “Why? You can’t bear to let it go?”
Feng Tianlan pursed her lips and held the chess piece tightly in her hand. Her eyes were staring at the chessboard and she was unable to place the chess piece.
“Why are you so persistent? You can’t have it both ways. You have to give it up before you can have it. Otherwise, if you hold the chess piece tightly, as long as we continue, even if you protect it, what will the people behind us do? Will they sacrifice themselves for this?”
Feng Tianlan narrowed her eyes. The hand that held the chess piece trembled slightly. She understood the Imperial Preceptor’s words, the implied meaning and what she had to face..
