Chapter 235 - Linglong Nine Misfortune Formation
Yun Qianxue noticed Xuan Prince’s look and her heart burned red with envy.
She clenched her hands and was so mad that she wanted to rush over to kill Yun Qianyu. ‘This damned woman! Even with a ruined face she’s able to attract everyone’s attention. I must kill her!’
Her eyes soon became bloodshot due to anger.
At this time, someone laughed and said, “You call this chess? If so, a three-year-old child can also play chess.”
As soon as the person said that, everyone automatically looked toward the source of the voice. It seemed that Lu Waner, the daughter of the minister of personnel, had made those sarcastic remarks.
Seeing Yun Qianyu’s performance, Lu Waner felt that someone was worse than her. That’s why she sneered at Yun Qianyu.
As soon as Lu Waner said that, all the women present looked toward Xiao Jiuyuan.
Without a hint of anger on his handsome face, Xiao Jiuyuan just looked at Bai Yao and said, “Go, check what Miss Yun has set up.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
Bai Yao knew that Lun Waner would be severely punished if Yun Qianyu’s chess skills were superb.
Lu Waner, however, didn’t seem to realize this. She still felt elated at the fact that she was not the person with the least talent. ‘Finally, someone that’s worse than me.’
Bai Yao quickly walked to the center and examined the chessboard. Soon his face showed a surprised look. Slowly, he looked up at Yun Qianyu and asked her in a respectful manner, “Miss Yun, what’s the name of this set up?”
In a calm tone, Yun Qianyu explained, “This is something I came up with myself, the Linglong Nine Misfortune Formation.”
In fact, in her previous life she had loved playing chess. In her spare time, she would set up all sorts of formations and test out new ideas.
As soon as Yun Qianyu said that, all the young ladies there looked at each other. Even though they didn’t know much about chess, they felt that the name of the formation seemed very impressive.
The men on the other hand became interested when Yun Qianyu said that. All the young talented men of Dongli state looked at her with curiosity.
Unlike the women present, most of the men liked to play chess. Naturally, they knew more about the game. That was why when they saw Bai Yao’s reaction, they all became interested in the formation Yun Qianyu had set up.
Immediately all the men there got up and went to examine the formation. Xuan Prince especially came out the fastest.
The entire Dongli state knew that one of the favorite things of Xiao Tianyi was chess. He liked playing chess, collecting all kinds of texts related to chess and associating with people who played chess.
Now that Yun Qianyu had put forth a puzzling formation, Xuan Prince naturally became most interested. As soon as he came up to the chessboard, he began to examine the formation intently and thought about how to solve it.
All the young men there looked at the chessboard and even discussed among themselves on how to solve it.
The more they examined it, the more impressed they became. From the looks of it, the formation seemed to be very flexible and complex, capable of morphing to face different challenges.
