The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Webnovel - Chapter 2402

2402 Master!
Chu Liuyue walked over and sat down opposite Rong Xiu. “Why did you suddenly think of playing chess?”

Rong Xiu smiled. “Nothing much. Ever since you solved all the Xuan formations on the Star Path, we haven’t dueled. Let’s play one round?”
Chu Liuyue was instantly interested. “Sure.”

Upon deeper thought, they hadn’t played against each other for a long time. She had finished the Star Path, and Rong Xiu had just ended his seclusion—it was a good time.

Rong Xiu remarked, “I won’t go easy this time.”

Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly. “You always say this.”

Rong Xiu’s skills were strong and mysterious. Every time she thought that she had caught up with him, she discovered that he was even stronger than she thought. Later on, she had to continuously chase after him.

Rong Xiu looked down slightly, as if he had recalled many incidents with her words.

His thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice was low and gentle. “This time, I won’t lie to you.”

Then, he whipped his sleeves, and his long arm brushed across the chessboard before him.

A shockingly tremendous suppression descended, and the chessboard instantly turned into powder!

Chu Liuyue was dazed, and her heart immediately skipped a beat! Rong Xiu wants to use holy force to fight in this round?

Before he even took action, the superior water-stone chessboard was silently destroyed! Following that, a ball of bright light flew out of Rong Xiu’s palm and formed countless intersecting lines in midair.

A new chessboard—formed from strong holy force—appeared in front of Chu Liuyue.

The rays of light were bright and iridescent.

This chessboard only floated quietly in midair, but Chu Liuyue already felt an oppressive suppression.

Her heart skipped a beat. Rong Xiu’s current skills… probably far exceed my predictions!

“You go first,” said Rong Xiu.

Chu Liuyue nodded lightly and flicked her fingers. With that, a ray of red-golden light flew out.

But before this ray of light could form a chess piece on the chessboard, it was silently killed by the bright golden light.

Chu Liuyue’s pupils narrowed!

Knowing that Rong Xiu wanted to duel with her… Although she didn’t use her full force in this ray of light, she did use half of it. She did not expect that she couldn’t even approach the chessboard!

She looked up slightly and glanced at Rong Xiu.

His lips had faint smiling intent. “Yue’er, I said I won’t go easy on you.”

Determined, Chu Liuyue squinted slightly before she took action again!

Hua—

Pa!

Force that was much stronger than the previous suddenly flew out. After a temporary and intense struggle on the chessboard, it finally landed!

In this manner, Chu Liuyue finally successfully made her move!

However, Chu Liuyue instinctively straightened her body. Her back was straight, and she held her breath in.

At this point, she finally understood what Rong Xiu meant: He was for real!

This was just the first move, and it was already so difficult. One could just imagine the intense struggle that would occur later on!

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue’s heart beat faster. There were a few hints of excitement in her nervousness—it was the strong battle intent when she met with a strong warrior!

Rong Xiu looked at her and saw the bright light that vaguely appeared in her eyes.

“It’s your turn.” Chu Liuyue lifted her chin.

Rong Xiu raised his hand, and a black light surged out of his fingertips. Then, he lightly pointed it.

Piak!

A dark chess piece landed with the sound!

With this shocking impact, the chessboard rippled.

Chu Liuyue looked at that chess piece in a daze.

An extremely familiar feeling exuded from it!

This force… This aura… I have clearly felt it before!

After temporary silence, she suddenly realized something and looked up at Rong Xiu. “Master?!”

When she was at Country Yao Chen’s imperial mausoleum, she had once met a man. She did not see the other party’s appearance, and she only knew that his force was a special black color.

Afterward, she had tried going to Zhen Bao Pavilion countless times to meet this legendary Master, but it was to no avail.

Slowly, she placed this matter aside.

But now—

Rong Xiu looked at her, and his phoenix-like eyes were clear yet dark. She has always been intelligent, and she understands things with just a hint.

He laughed and said, “When I gave you the black pyramid back then, I said that it was my wife’s item.”

Chu Liuyue’s heart was instantly overwhelmed! He’s admitting it… He admitted it!

Yes, that black pyramid sealed my memories of the God Residence Realm. It is naturally mine!

Wife… So it turns out the wife he talked about was myself?!

Chu Liuyue’s lips moved slightly, and countless scenes flashed across her mind in a messy manner.

She had too many things to say and too many questions to ask, but facing Rong Xiu now, she could not utter a single word. There seemed to be something stuck in her throat, and it could not move up nor down.

She realized that she seemed to have forgotten many important things, but she did not know what to do.

This news was too shocking, and it confused her.

After a while, she finally realized something and lightly muttered, “Yeah, the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace originally has two holy bodies…”

This also meant that Rong Xiu’s body had two holy forces!

Actually, it wasn’t that Chu Liuyue did not suspect him before. However, because that Master’s force and aura were very foreign and different from Rong Xiu’s, she quickly denied this guess and did not think further.

Unexpectedly—

Seeing the black chess piece on the chessboard, Chu Liuyue’s lips moved as she finally asked, “…So you specifically left my broken soul and memories in Country Yao Chen’s imperial mausoleum?”

This was the only explanation for everything!

Rong Xiu’s phoenix-like eyes turned dark. “I’ll tell you the answer after this round.”

…

Medicinal mountain.

That figure quickly disappeared within the reeds.

Shu Jing’s heart beat quickly, and she immediately went forward. “Hold on!”

That figure is really like—

An arm suddenly came from the side to block Shu Jing.

Xiao Ba raised her sharp brows slightly and looked at Shu Jing in a seemingly smiling manner. “Eighth Deity, what are you doing? Brother Yan Qing is helping me find the fairy vine. Why are you calling him?”

As Xiao Ba asked, she sized Shu Jing up. Something isn’t right. Shu Jing’s current expression and emotions are amiss. I have interacted with Shu Jing countless times, but I haven’t seen her in this manner. The more important thing is that Shu Jing clearly became like this after she saw Yan Qing. What is happening?

Angry? Annoyed? No, Shu Jing’s gaze clearly seems as if she is looking at someone familiar.

Shu Jing was currently anxious. When she heard Xiao Ba call those few words, her blood boiled.

She smacked Xiao Ba’s hand away and coldly scolded, “I don’t wish to hold it against you today. If you’re sensible, watch yourself!”
