Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Everyone was stunned by the scene.

Master Feng of the Chess Manor actually knelt before an old man?

Gu Jiao tilted her head and looked at Old Master Meng.

Hm?

Mu Ruxin's expression changed drastically as a sense of foreboding slowly welled up within her.

Master Feng was the top figure in the Chess Manor after Old Master Meng. For him to kneel before the other party, could it be——

"Master!" Master Feng trembled as he performed a kneeling salute.

The word "master " was like a hammer blow, shattering all the confidence and arrogance Mu Ruxin had built up because of Master Feng.

She stared at Master Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, not even daring to lift his head, feeling a massive impact on her soul.

So, this was the power of the Chess Saint of the Six States?

The dignified son of the Feng Family actually knelt before someone from a lower state, showing utmost respect, humility, and not the slightest bit of disrespect.

This was the Feng Family, ranked ninth among the great families of Shengdu!

Old Master Meng was originally from the State of Qing, but he settled in Shengdu and became an upper state citizen after receiving a special decree from the Yan Emperor.

Mu Ruxin felt a burning flame rise in her heart, scorching her with both pain and excitement.

Once she became a citizen of an upper state, she wouldn't have to cater to anyone's whims anymore!

Old Master Meng's aura was fully unleashed as he coldly looked at the unfilial disciple on the ground and mockingly said, "I wasn't aware of when you became the master of the Chess Manor."

Feng Yuehua's body trembled, and he hurriedly explained, "Master, that was just her nonsense. The Chess Manor belongs to you. The plaque granted by His Majesty the Emperor, ‘Number One Chess Manor, presented to Old Master Meng,' is still hanging in the main hall. How dare I claim to be the master of the Chess Manor?"

At this moment, he was really cursing Mu Ruxin inwardly.

Some thoughts were best kept to oneself; how could she speak them out loud in public?

Wasn't this giving others something to hold against you?

Old Master Meng continued his questioning, "Just now, who did you say stole the token?"

"This disciple... disciple..." Feng Yuehua, no matter how foolish, now realized that the token the young man had was personally given by the Chess Saint.

He just couldn't understand it——he had coveted that token for so many years, yet the Chess Saint wouldn’t even let him take a glance at it. So how could he just give it away so generously now?

Old Master Meng thought to himself, this kid is someone I can't even bring myself to scold, and you dare to slander him?

Old Master Meng snatched the token from Feng Yuehua's hand, carefully wiped it with his sleeve, and then handed it back to Gu Jiao, saying, "Child, hold on to it."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Feng Yuehua felt bewildered. If you want to take the token back, you could just take it, but you even had to wipe it?

Old Master Meng then said to Feng Yuehua, "You, apologize to your junior sis... cough, brother... junior brother!"

Feng Yuehua was utterly shocked.

Gu Jiao looked at Old Master Meng in confusion. When did I become your disciple?

Old Master Meng lightly coughed and whispered, "Just give me some face, give me some face."

Gu Jiao: "..."

Feng Yuehua never expected that after the Chess Saint had gone missing for a while, he would return with a new junior brother for him!

Where could he find justice in this?

Old Master Meng nodded, "Good, you're even ignoring my words now. It seems I can no longer command you."

Oh no, this won’t do! This old man had already expelled fifty-eight disciples! He was the only one who stuck it out! After enduring for so many years, just when he was about to finally make it, getting expelled at this critical moment would be too much of a loss!

He quickly stood up and cupped his hands in a bow towards Gu Jiao, "Junior brother, this senior brother was wrong! Senior brother apologizes to you!"

Gu Jiao, who suddenly found herself with an additional senior brother: "..."

"Alright, you go on in now. Weren't you looking for the Imperial Advisor for something urgent?" Old Master Meng absolutely wouldn't give Gu Jiao a chance to back out! How hard was it to have her as a disciple? He had finally gotten the opportunity!

The timing, the location, and the people were all right!

I don't care if you accept it or not; I've accepted you anyway!

Gu Jiao furrowed her small brows, feeling like the old man was plotting against her.

But she really didn't have time to linger here.

She followed the disciple of the Imperial Advisor's Hall inside.

Mu Ruxin watched Gu Jiao's departing figure, unable to resist clenching her fists.

She was unwilling to accept it, truly unwilling!

Why was it that even though they were both from a lower state, this guy had such good fortune?

First, he befriended Young Master Qingchen, then he got acquainted with the third miss of the Su Family, and now even the Chess Saint of the Six States had taken him as a disciple!

He was clearly just an insignificant person!

"Old Master Meng, may I ask you..."

"No." Old Master Meng interrupted Mu Ruxin's words without hesitation. He wasn’t deaf; he had heard every word this person from the State of Chen said to slander Gu Jiao.

He coldly said, "You're not a member of the Chess Manor, so I have no right to discipline you."

On the surface, these words seemed to imply that he had no right to scold her whatsoever, but in reality, they completely severed any connection with Mu Ruxin.

No matter what connection Mu Ruxin had with his eldest disciple, it didn't matter to him. She had no right to overstep her bounds here.

Old Master Meng pointed at Mu Ruxin and called over two disciples from the Imperial Advisor's Hall on duty, sternly saying, "Your Imperial Advisor once promised me three things, allowing me to make any three requests to the Imperial Advisor's Hall. Now, my first request is that this person from the State of Chen is never to set foot in the Imperial Advisor's Hall again!"

Mu Ruxin's face turned pale!

Not being able to enter the Imperial Advisor's Hall wasn't terrifying; what was terrifying was that once this news spread, all of Shengdu would know she had offended the Imperial Advisor's Hall.

What was the Imperial Advisor's Hall?

It was an entity even the top ten Great Families dare not provoke lightly!

If the Imperial Advisor's Hall despised her, would she still have a chance to become an upper state citizen?

Mu Ruxin gritted her teeth and said, "Old Master Meng, I healed your eldest disciple; you can't repay kindness with enmity!"

As soon as the words fell, Feng Yuehua suddenly clutched his throat in an exaggerated manner, fell to the ground, and began to cough violently, his eyes rolling back as he convulsed uncontrollably.

Mu Ruxin: "......!!"

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
