Chapter 1059 Chessboard
All of a sudden, Lin Xinyao’s body relaxed, and her aura seemed to change a little. It was as though the knots in her heart had been untied.
A brilliant smile appeared on her face as she said. “Master, I will go practice first. Thank you for telling me this.”
As she spoke, she turned around and walked away with Mumu on her shoulder.
“Oh…” Han Bingling nodded slightly and watched her disciple leave in puzzlement.
She didn’t linger on this matter further and walked toward Yun Lintian.
Seeing her coming, Yun Lintian smiled and said. “Congratulations. You have broken through again.”
Han Bingling smiled charmingly and said. “It’s still not enough to help you.” 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎ𝚎𝚝
Her current profound strength was at the first level of the Heaven Profound Realm. Even though it was far from her previous level, her progress defied all common sense. It took her two months from the bottom to this point.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to put pressure on yourself. Those enemies, I will deal with them myself.” Yun Lintian pulled her onto his lap and hugged her gently.
Han Bingling grabbed his dishonest hands and said. “You really don’t want to tell me about Xinyao?”
Yun Lintian’s movements froze for a moment, and he said. “It’s quite complicated… Sorry. I’m not ready to talk about it yet.”
Han Bingling turned around and hugged his head to her plump chest. “It’s fine. I understand. I just hope that I can share your worries a bit.”
Yun Lintian breathed in her unique fragrance, and his tiredness seemed to vanish completely. He hugged her tightly and said. “Thank you.”
Suddenly, Han Bingling felt something hard poking her below. She couldn’t help pinching his back gently. “You’re dishonest again.”
Yun Lintian chuckled. “I can’t help it. Who let my woman be this charming?”
Han Bingling laughed gently, and her heart was smeared with honey. No woman in this world didn’t like their man obsessed with her.
In the distance, Master Bai looked at these love birds and sighed. “Ah… It’s good to be young. I started to miss my Little Jin a bit.”
Besides him was Yun Xia, who was sipping the spirit tea leisurely. She put down the cup and said. “The environment of this place has slowly recovered a bit now. You should start thinking of regaining your strength already.”
Master Bai smiled wryly. “It’s not that I don’t want to, but you can see my current body is too weak. I need tons of flesh and blood to condense my physique anew.”
He sighed with regret. “Alas, I should have told him to keep that devil spawn back then.”
“Actually, it’s not without a way.” Yun Xia suddenly said. “You hadn’t gone out before since you came here. You have no idea about this world.”
She refilled her cup and said further. “There are a group of demons trying to penetrate into this world. They called themselves Poison Valley… Well, they are demons from a tiny star under the Ten Thousand Demon Realms.”
Master Bai’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “Really? Where are they now?”
“With your current strength, it will be no different from suicide.” Yun Xia said calmly. “You should follow him out later.”
“Ah?… Can’t you capture some of them for me?” Master Bai said pitifully.
“No.” Yun Xia shook her head.
“But you have used your power once, and it’s fine until now. I don’t think they can detect your aura, right?” Master Bai was unwilling to give up.
Yun Xia’s eyes flickered slightly as she said. “They will eventually find me if I intervene further.”
She slowly got up from her seat and said further. “This stage belongs to him… I cannot interfere with his arrangement.”
Master Bai went silent for a moment and asked cautiously. “Can you tell me why Beyond Heaven King chose him as a successor? No matter how I look at him, he’s too ordinary…. Honestly, if it wasn’t you who told me, I wouldn’t bother to pull him in.”
That was right. Yun Lintian didn’t know that it wasn’t Master Bai’s idea to help him in the blink of death. In fact, it was Yun Xia’s idea all along.
Yun Xia didn’t reply to the question. She turned around and walked away. “You will slowly understand it.”
Master Bai watched Yun Xia walk toward Yun Lintian and murmured to himself. “So, I have to follow him?… Alas, this matter is getting more complicated.”

In the plum-blossom garden, Xing Tengfei was looking at the chessboard while thinking of something.
After a while, he raised his head to look at Weilan Jian, who sat opposite him and said. “What do you think about this board?”
Weilan Jian took a sip of tea and said with a smile. “Since we cannot force it, we should choose other ways.”
He glanced at the board and said further. “The Queen has jumped out of nowhere and provided protection for the King. Even if we wanted to continue, it would be difficult to press further.”
He then shifted his gaze onto the Rook. “Perhaps it’s time to take them out.”
A strange light flashed through Xing Tengfei’s eyes upon hearing this. He nodded in agreement and said. “Indeed. We have been waiting for too long.”
He then waved his hand and asked. “How’s the preparation I told you?”
A figure in black suddenly appeared behind Xing Tengfei and responded. “Reporting to Master. Everything is ready.”
“Good. Tell them to start right away.” Xing Tengfei said while moving his Rook to eat the opposite Knight.
“Yes, Master.” The black figure responded readily and disappeared from the place.
Xing Tengfei took a sip of tea while nodding in satisfaction. He looked at Weilan Jian and asked. “How’s your Dragon Offering ceremony, Brother Jian?… I heard that your good nephew Weilan Tian is quite disobedient lately.”
Weilan Jian’s face was calm as he replied. “Do you know what will happen when a pawn thinks it was a knight?”
He then moved the Bishop to kill the opposite Pawn. “There’s only one end for it.”
Xing Tengfei looked at the Pawn that was knocked out of the board thoughtfully…
