Chapter 84: Nalan Jie, the Bad Chess Player
Yun Yun blinked her beautiful eyes. She did not rush to make a decision, but decided to take some time to ask her disciple what she thought about this matter and this young man.

She thought for a moment and said to Nalan Jie, "It just so happens that our Yunlan Sect's assessment is about to begin. We can let that little guy try it out then. If he's okay, we'll accept him into the Yunlan Sect."

Nalan Jie looked embarrassed. Even if you beg others to come, they may not be willing to do so. Do you still want to test them?

Yun Yun said with a smile: "The reward for the first place in the assessment is a magic core of a fifth-level magic beast. I believe he will come." Yun Yun's expression remained calm.

She didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so she waved her hand to summon the chessboard, raised the corner of her mouth, and said, "Master Nalan, there are not many people in Yunlan Sect who can play chess with me. Since you are here today, play a game with me."

Nalan Jie nodded. He knew that Sect Master Yun had other things to tell him.

The Yunlan Sect is located in a very high mountain with courtyards, attics, waterfalls and lush greenery. The bluestone-paved paths are like a spider web, connecting these places together.

In an attic on the edge of the cliff, there is a private room on the second floor, and there is no wall on the side facing the cliff.

The chessboard is crisscrossed with chess pieces. An old man and a young man are sitting on the edge of the cliff, feeling the mountain breeze and looking at the chess game calmly.

"Hey hey hey, I took the wrong path. I want to start over again. I don't care." Nalan Jie yelled in dissatisfaction.

"Don't regret your move, you poor chess player. Are you cheating just because you can't win?" Yun Yun would not be polite to Nalan Jie.

"If you know you've made a mistake, correct it. There's no greater good than that."

"Is this what the Saint means?" Yun Yun raised her eyebrows.

"Alas, I can't defeat you, Sect Master Yun. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly." Nalan Jie clasped his fists and bowed.

The intoxicating glow of the sky reflected their figures: one wearing a gorgeous long dress with long black hair like a waterfall, and the other an old man with white hair and beard, but full of energy.

Yun Yun looked at Nalan Jie and said seriously, "In fact, even if you didn't come to see me today, I would have come to visit you. You know, some masters of the Luoyan Empire have been frequently active on the border of our Jiama Empire recently. This was told to me by Jia. I told you this because, first, I want to tell you that the border has been restless recently and that the disciples of the Nalan family who are out for training should try not to go to the border. Second, I want to hear your opinion, old man."

Now Yunshan is still in seclusion, and all the affairs of the Yunlan Sect are taken care of by Yunyun. As the largest sect in the Jiama Empire, they should also stand up when the border is in trouble.

Nalan Jie was not surprised at all when he heard the news. Obviously, he had already known about the recent movements of the Luoyan Empire.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The actions of the Luoyan Empire this time are a bit abnormal. I always feel that they are plotting some big conspiracy."

Yun Yun nodded. This was exactly what she thought.

“Then according to what Grandpa Nalan said, how should our Yunlan Sect deal with this matter? What about your Nalan family?” Yun Yun blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Just wait and see. The Jiama Empire does not belong to your Yunlan Sect, nor does it belong to my Nalan Family. This matter should be a headache for the Jiama Royal Family."

“But Mr. Nalan must understand the principle of the lips and teeth being interdependent, right?” Yun Yun looked into the distance calmly.

Nalan Jie's eyes fixed, and he suddenly sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that my Jia Ma Empire does not have a Dou Zong-level super strong man, otherwise, why would we be afraid of the Luo Yan Empire!"

“When my teacher comes out of retreat, he should be a Dou Zong. However, one Dou Zong may not be enough.” Yun Yun’s eyes were also filled with worry.

She was certainly not a saint, but she did not want to see the mountains and rivers destroyed.

She thought about it and said, "It's just that the teacher is in seclusion this time, and we really don't know when he will come out. If the Luoyan Empire really starts a war at this time, I'm afraid our Jiama Empire will have difficulty in fighting."

Nalan Jie suddenly remembered something he had heard recently, and frowned, saying, "I remember that the third prince of the Mulan Empire seemed to be visiting the Gama Empire recently. From what I heard, it seems that he came to propose marriage." Mulan Empire?

Propose marriage?

Yun Yun frowned and thought for a moment. In her impression, there seemed to be no Dou Zong in the Mulan Empire. The top strong men should be the three Mulan elders. The three of them were actually Dou Huang strength, but because they practiced the "Three Beasts Wilderness Art", they were able to transfer the power of the other two people to the third person in a short period of time, thus reaching the Dou Zong level.

Compared with the Izumo Empire, Luoyan Empire, and Gama Empire, its strength is weaker.

A country weaker than oneself actually dares to take the initiative to propose marriage. It is not difficult to guess the deep meaning behind this with a little thought.

Yun Yun looked at Nalan Jie opposite her and said tentatively, "What Grandpa Nalan meant was that the Luoyan Empire and the Mulan Empire had agreed on this. One played the good cop and the other played the bad cop. The Luoyan Empire kept harassing the border, while the Mulan Empire pretended to be friendly. Its purpose was to find a way to form a marriage alliance with the Jiama royal family."

If it were in the past, the Gama royal family would definitely not agree to this marriage, but this time it is different. If the Gama royal family disagrees, the Mulan Empire can directly threaten the Gama Empire and join forces with the Luoyan Empire to deal with the Gama Empire. At that time, the Gama Empire will be in an unfavorable position.

Nalan Jie's face was not looking good either. On the surface, this matter had nothing to do with him, but if Yao Ye really married into the Mulan Empire, then the Jia Ma royal family would become a puppet of the Mulan Empire. In the future, it would be only a matter of time before the Jia Ma Empire was gradually eroded and then destroyed.

"Well, that's my guess." Nalan Jie nodded. "So, now we should wait and see the attitude of the royal family and see if Jia Lao has any solution. Those bastards in the Luoyan Empire should not dare to really go to war with us with all their strength."

"However, we must also take precautions. Sect Master Yun, I now feel that it is necessary to win over that little guy. Just in case, I mean, just in case the Gama Empire really perishes one day, we will have a way out."

The so-called retreat refers not only to Gu Fengchen, but also to the forces behind him.

Yun Yun looked at Nalan Jie with a deep gaze. What kind of trump card and background did this young man have that could make the head of the family say such words?

She knew Nalan Jie. This old man usually kept a low profile, but he was quite thoughtful. But this time, even this old man couldn't keep his temper.

Yun Yun started to think again and went over the information about the young man in her mind.

A peak Grand Master who is less than twenty years old is extremely rare in the entire Douqi Continent, especially with his strange fire and flying fighting skills. It makes people wonder where this person comes from and what kind of force is behind him!
To win him over means not only to win him over as a person, but also the forces behind him.

But the problem is that there is no such mysterious force in the Gama Empire.

Seeing Yun Yun frown, Nalan Jie said, "Some people say that the little guy might be from Zhongzhou."

Zhongzhou?

Yun Yun nodded slightly and said no more.

Even she herself could not match such talent.

Yun Yun’s achievements today are also due to the resources of Yunlan Sect.

No matter what force is behind this young man, his talent is beyond doubt.

If Gu Fengchen knew Yun Yun’s thoughts, he would probably answer in his heart.

You don’t understand this, I rely on plug-ins!
