Chapter 972: An Unconventional Gambit?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“As to Qi Wan Jie, it’s even more simple. Qi Wan Jie is drunk for fame and profit. Although he already has the position of Chess Champion, he is still unsatisfied. I promised him the position of the Chess Superintendent of the Chess Institution of the Misty Illusory Manor, with four great beauties as his consorts and ten thousand taels of gold! And promise to deliver Young Lady Lee, whom he is in love, to his residence and make her his wife… And so he came, and he had to promise to defeat Mo Jun Ye in one hit…” Zhan Yu Shu spilled everything at one go.

Amidst the crowd, Qi Wan Jie’s face with deathly pale. His lips were trembling. Qi Wan Jie knew from the disdainful scorns coming from around him that his fate had completely changed with Zhan Yu Shu’s words!

It was all over for him!

All his numerous efforts and the boundless glory of the past had nothing to do with him right now. They had all became a thing of the past, a part of history! The entire world suddenly turned pitch black! Qi Wan Jie’s face turned white and he spat a mouthful of fresh blood and fainted.

No one bothered with the Chess Champion Qi Wan Jie, who was destined to pass his prime. They were all shocked by what Zhan Yu Shu was saying!

Just as Jun Mo Xie had predicted, Zhan Qing Feng carried all the responsibility upon his own shoulders, freeing Zhan Qing Feng from the mess. This courage and insight alone was impressive. When in his simple recounting alone, it made everyone felt that everything were acts of his own accord and had absolutely nothing to do with his family!

And to be able to do it in a situation like this, it was undoubtedly not easy. Truly impressive!

Zhan Qing Feng on the other side wore a stiff expression, watching his own younger brother. Who knew how Zhan Qing Feng felt!

Suddenly, Zhan Qing Feng rushed forward and slapped Zhan Yu Shu across his face harshly. He yelled, “You beast! To think that you did something this despicable! How could you do things like this? The Zhan Family’s reputation of thousands is tarnished by you just like this! Do you have any idea what you are doing? How could you do something this despicable?!”

Fresh blood appeared on the corner of Zhan Yu Shu’s lips along with this slap! He fell onto the ground from the impact of this unexpected and suddenly slap.

Zhan Qing Feng continued to chide, full of anguish and rage, the green veins on his forehead even popping! After a long time, he finally let out a long sigh and said, “Family misfortune! It is really our family’s misfortune ah… Zhan Qing Feng, you have disgraced the Zhan Family, and tarnished the reputation of the Zhan Family. I swear I will not let you off like this. Although I do not have the authority to punish you, it doesn’t mean that you are able to escape the punishments of the family! When we return home, I want to see how you face Father and our ancestors! The Zhan Family’s family law will absolutely not allow nor tolerate any descendant that disgraces the Zhan Family!”

Miao Xiao Miao coldly watched all of this unfold, seeing how the younger brother stood out to carry all the blame and the older brother stepped out to reprimand the younger brother. She suddenly felt like this great show happening was truly amusing. From the initial shock to the amusement right now, she did not even noticed this subtle change in her mood.

A method like this wouldn’t even fool the average person, so what more all these intelligent and wise people present right now? Even if no one pointed it out, everyone could understand what it implicated! Did you really think that everyone else in the world is a fool and only the two of you are clever?!

Without his reputation of the Young Master of the Zhan Family, if not for the full support of the Zhan Family, Zhan Yu Shu was only a twenty year old youth. Even with his strength alone, he wasn’t capable of becoming a threat to an influential family. And he would not be able to promise Qi Wan Jie so many benefits! All these were beyond the boundaries of Zhan Yu Shu’s capabilities!

Although with such an obvious fact, the two brothers of the Zhan Family still continued to put on this great show. Because it was one matter for everyone to know, and another for the position of the Zhan Family to be degraded like this. It didn’t matter whether anyone believed Zhan Qing Feng’s current devoted and fair act. This stance had to be shown!

Because even if no one believed the claims Zhan Yu Shu was spouting and they may not expose the truth, there would be some people who denied their conscience and agreed to what he was saying. Second Young Master Zhan was acting on his own and his nothing to do with the Zhan Family…

Miao Xiao Miao was currently thinking. The Zhan Family truly plans far ahead. Just Zhan Yu Shu alone is capable of mobilizing such resources and is willing to protect the Zhan Family regardless of the price… This sort of temperament and resolution… is no small matter! By contrast, how many of such people like this are there in the Miao Family?

The Zhan Family was capable of bribing Qi Wan Jie and threatening Lin Qing Yin… Then who else would they threaten or bribe? With their unscrupulous methods in obtaining what they desire, if…

I may not be able to decipher this information on my own, what more comprehend it, but I must report this in detail to Grandfather when I return home. I believe that with their experience, they’ll be able to tell and even… further analyze the potential danger within it…

The third round of battle was once again the Great Prodigy Mo’s victory. And he crippled the person who had started this operation, the second young master Zhan Yu Shu, along with it!

This outcome had resulted in all the other contestants who had originally wanted to try their hand to keep quiet out of fear.

Right now, everyone could tell. This Mo Jun Ye with the Free and Natural Physique was not only a solid prodigy, but a ruthless person and not one to be messed with! He looked like a joke with his first appearance, acting like a country bumpkin, but every single line of his instantly caught the vital points of his enemy! The moment he caught it, congratulations, someone was doomed!

And it seemed that he had one more unique trait, and that was that he was extremely petty. Whoever who attacked him would be attacked back! And the incisive way he struck back was enough to make people’s hair stand up in anger!

From the beginning, he had never initiated provocation. But he had been brewing in his counterattacks! After thoroughly digesting an attack, he would use his most incisive attack!

Hitting in a single strike!

And it was an absolute hit! Every single strike took a person out!

Even the two brothers of the Zhan Family were no exception!

What sort of massive confidence and thick foundation were required to be capable of this? Even just these alone was not enough. It still required extremely sharp observational skills, extremely precise control, and sensitivity that cut…

Not a single one of these must be lacking!

Someone like this was expected of the legendary Free and Natural Physique!

Facing a lunatic like this, what else should they compete in?

There was no one else who dared to come forward anymore!

Not only were the judges trying to figure out the answer to this question, Zhan Qing Feng wasn’t sure of what decision he should make.

Right from the beginning, everyone had assumed that the Free and Natural Physique was something in legends, and that it was merely a mystical physique for Xuan Cultivation. Perhaps his speed for Xuan Qi cultivation would be relatively sick, but there was no way he could be perfect in other aspects… How could anyone be perfect…

And it was impossible for one to know anything and everything!

But right now, the fact laid before their eyes. It had also given all of them a lesson and made them acknowledge an abnormally frightening fact! They had indeed met with a freak, a freak whose strength was a profound mystery!

Mo Jun Ye, as the owner of the Free and Natural Physique, had an ordinary Xuan cultivation. But he just had to be this well-versed and proficient in all sorts of other random knowledge…

When it came to Xuan cultivators, they’d only pick up skills of the four arts at most. But this fellow on the other hand was a great talent in music, a national expert in the art of chess, with poetry skills above all those present, and an ability to think fast in an emergency!

A whole bunch of people were using crafty plots and machinations to deal with him, but he had used the same method to deal with the rest of them!

Zhan Yu Shu sat on a seat in the corner, as if he were awaiting his punishment. His cheek swollen. But he was extremely concerned with the victory in this next round! He appeared to look gloomy, with his face hanging low, but he secretly transmitted his voice to his older brother. “This person is really not ordinary like the seniors said. This person is clever and quick-witted. And well versed in all these random skills. If we were to raise another orthodox means of competition, we might just fall into his trap again. The best option we have now is to try to go for an unconventional gambit!”

“Unconventional gambit?” Zhan Qing Feng mumbled to himself. Suddenly, his eyes gleamed.

“This person was born into poverty; he may not have interacted with any rich or wealthy families! Someone like this may be talented in skills, but he definitely does not have a single debauchee bone in him!” Zhan Qing Feng’s gaze remained fixed on the ground, but the voice that was transmitted into Zhan Qing Feng’s ears was extremely sinister. “Since we have no confidence in winning him in regular competitions, let’s try something he is not familiar with.”

“For example?…” Zhan Qing Feng’s eyes turned brighter.

“For example, something that debauchees often play… With his level, he definitely hasn’t touched it before! Things that debauchees play with is either dog and cock fighting or brothels…” Zhan Yu Shu scoffed. “In other words… maybe gambling or visiting a prostitute… or fighting…”

“Gambling, visiting a prostitute, or fighting?” Zhan Qing Feng suddenly felt extremely pleased.

“Playing with prostitutes… naturally we can’t bring it out in an occasion like this to compete… But there should be no big deal with gambling with money, and, whatever cock, dog, snake, cricket, Xuan Beast fighting… they can all be used! And there is no chance of us losing! We don’t have his talent and skills, but I doubt our luck is worse than his? Don’t tell me he can be lucky for his entire life?” Zhan Yu Shu chuckled coldly.

“We had set on seven rounds: the four arts, poetry, wine and tea, and we have already lost the first three. As to the poetry round, we already know the result without having to go through with it. And calligraphy, that’ll also be unnecessary… He is able to have such strong foundations, so he’ll definitely be an expert at calligraphy as well. If that’s the case… that leaves us with wine and painting? And another round of gambling?” Zhan Qing Feng asked, a little confused.

“No! There is completely no need to compete in painting and wine! With his proficiency in music and poetry, he is definitely no stranger to painting… As long as he reads enough, his awareness of wine will also not be weak… Why don’t we just abort them and search for other methods we are more confident in!”

Zhan Yu Shu said. “Let’s just use two rounds to determine who the victor is! Gambling on money and Xuan Beast fighting!”
