Chapter 0270 – Every Which Way – Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"Not going back yet?"

Sect Leader Feng Tian looked at Gao Yue with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Gao Yue, however, was still staring unblinkingly at the chessboard in front of her, with a chess book in her hand, as if she hadn’t heard him at all.

"It’s all done, we should get back!"

They have finally accomplished their mission of establishing an intelligence network in the Central Plains.

Sword Wuji named this intelligence organization "Silver Moon", Gao Yue did not add any embellishments to the name, but directly adopted Sword Wuji’s name.

"Go!"

"I’m not going."

"Why?"

"I’ll go back when I’ve won the Master Chief."

Sect Master Windsky naturally understood Gao Yue’s intentions, he wanted to return to Windsky Sect after Silvermoon developed and grew beyond Tong Tian Pavilion.

After all, an organization, no matter how well-designed it was, could hardly reach its full potential without the personal presence of its chief.

"Do you think you’ll be appreciated by Mr. Li if you do this?"

"It’s the Young Preceptor." Gao Yue corrected.

"Whether it’s Mr. Li or the Young Sect Master, anyway, now that you’ve completed your mission, all those Demon Dignitaries, too, will be left out in the cold." Sect Leader Feng Tian said, "By then, when Mr. Li sees you, I’m afraid he won’t even be able to remember who you are. He might even say, ‘Who are you? Get out of the way, the Young Sect Master is here!’ This is the reality, who doesn’t want to monopolize power and exclude dissidents?"

Still staring at the chessboard, Gao Yue said indifferently, "Haven’t you gotten tired of saying that yet?"

"I’m just going to keep talking until you get bored! And you’re going to keep listening until you get annoyed! That’s what I call a friend!"

"We’re really ‘good friends’ then."

Seeing Gao Yue’s lack of oil and salt, Sect Master Feng Tian stopped talking and turned around to walk to the window, putting on an angry face.

"Hmph, Ignore you!"

He originally wanted to walk to Gao Yue’s side and continue to persuade him, but when he saw that Gao Yue didn’t pay any attention to him at all, he had no choice but to turn around and walk over to the bedside, put on a sick look, cover his forehead with his hand, and say, "Oops, my head hurts ……"

"Stop pretending!"

Gao Yue saw through his trick at a glance.

Sect Master Feng Tian had no choice but to return to his seat and said, "Forget it, let’s talk bad about Mr. Li so that I can still feel better in my heart. Where were we?"

"Speaking of ‘Get out of the way, the Young Master is here!’"

Although Gao Yue said "annoyed" on her lips, she still listened carefully to Sect Leader Feng Tian’s words.

"Now that Silver Moon is also established, and Elder Li has become the Young Sect Master, you no longer have any use for it. Maybe one day, he’ll ask you to merge Silver Moon into the Tongtian Pavilion, and by then, what should you do?"

"If the Young Sect Master requests it, I will naturally comply."

"You are so naive! Mr. Li is not a kind man, he will definitely eat you up, not even the bone crumbs left!"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"You guys are really, really bad-mouthing me every time we meet."

The two of them turned around and saw that Jian Wuji was standing in the doorway with a hint of a smile on his face.

"You kid, you’re really a god, every time you show up, nothing good happens!"

Although Sect Leader Windsky grumbled with his mouth, his face was filled with joy.

Jian Wuji walked up to them and bowed respectfully to Sect Leader Feng Tian, saying, "Sect Leader, hard work."

"You, what’s wrong with you? I’m a bit uncomfortable being so polite all of a sudden."

"I’ve heard that Silver Moon has already been established thanks to your help, Sect Leader, otherwise, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

"Hmph, you two, behind my back, you’re secretly in touch again, aren’t you?"

Gao Yue also stood up and bowed to Jian Wuji, saying, "Young Sect Master, congratulations on your honorary ascension to the Great Jewel."

"Sergeant Gao, you’ve worked hard."

"My subordinate was merely doing his part, and does not deserve such praise from the Young Preceptor."

"Don’t be modest, you’ve made a great achievement!" Sect Leader Feng Tian said from the side, "Sir Li, you should reward him well!"

"Army Master Gao, what reward do you want?" Jian Wuji asked with a smile.

"My subordinate doesn’t want anything, I only hope that the Young Sect Master, will treat Silver Moon well and make it the most powerful intelligence organization of the Sky Demon God Sect."

"Okay, I promise."

Jian Wuji nodded solemnly.

"Look at it, look at it, the other Gao Yue, how sensible and understanding!" Sect Master Feng Tian said from the side, "Unlike you, you just know how to enjoy yourself and don’t think about progress!"

Gao Yue smiled and said, "Sect Leader, don’t praise me, I can’t afford it."

"Hmph, don’t be modest!"

Jian Wuji couldn’t help but smile as he watched the two fight.

"Sergeant Gao, have you, recently, been learning to play chess?"

He noticed that a chessboard was set up in the room.

"I’ve got nothing to do, so I’m just learning."

Gao Yue said faintly.

"Come on, let’s play a game?"

"I’m not very good at chess, so I’m afraid I’ll make a fool of myself."

Although Gao Yue said so on her lips, she still sat down in front of the chessboard.

"Please teach me, Young Preceptor."

The two began to play against each other.

Although Jian Wuji was not as good at chess as Gao Yue, his chess style was very harsh, pressing Gao Yue step by step, not giving her a chance to catch her breath.

"This game of chess is somewhat similar to what happened recently."

Gao Yue suddenly said.

When Jian Wuji heard this, his heart stirred as he knew that Gao Yue had already seen through his mind.

"This move, seemingly a discard, is actually to save another piece. This move, seemingly risky, is actually to test the opponent’s reality."

As Gao Yue spoke, she placed the pieces in her hand and dropped them on the chessboard.

"This is, a chess game played by the Martial Alliance to save Xu Qing."

Jian Wuji nodded, he knew that Gao Yue had already gained insight into the truth of the matter.

"The grandson of the Martial Alliance Master, Qin Xiajun, used his privileges to force the Martial Alliance’s hand, and the Sect Master agreed to their demands. I know that, according to the usual practice, if the Martial Forest Alliance agrees to our demands, we have to agree to theirs as well."

"But they, do they know what Xu Qing did?"

"Should know something."

Aside from Xu Qing and Xi Feng, those other members of the Martial God Association, who had been released, would definitely spread the word about what had happened in the banquet hall.

"And they did it knowingly?"

Jian Wuji was a bit incredulous, in his impression, the Martial Arts Alliance, although overbearing, was a bright and open person.

"Perhaps they have another purpose."

Gao Yue said.

"To what end?"

"Perhaps, they are trying to use this opportunity to bring the Heavenly Harmony Sect, to their side."

Jian Wuji sniffed and suddenly came to a realization.

"So it is!"

He finally understood the intentions of the Martial Arts Alliance.
