Forsaken Immortals Chapter 255 - “I Am Envious”

Chapter 255 - “I Am Envious”

Although Bai Rouyun had ulterior motives in recruiting these experts, she had not done so in a casual way. She understood that if she accepted just anyone, the benefits would not be able to outshine the costs.
She had been observing the students in her class for a long time, and it was not before now she had made the final decision. She knew that while these experts from her class would not be among the top of the Eternal Shadow Palace, they would also not be among the worst as long as they truly worked hard.
As such, they were very suited to join, and she did not regret her decision.
Elder Sun and Bai Rouyun were slowly conversing while playing chess. The plans that Bai Rouyun had been creating in her mind were all explained and discussed to optimize the benefits.
"Miss Bai, you are telling me all your plans and expectations for the future. Are you not afraid that I might hold a grudge against you, and use this knowledge to harm you and the palace?"
Elder Sun leaned back against his chair as he had narrowly won the game of chess that was spreading out in front of them. He was surprised by the ability and strategy that Bai Rouyun had used throughout the game, and he had gotten a much better understanding of her as a person.
As such, he wanted to ensure that she was not going to be cheated in the future.
"Li Moyun trusts you."
Bai Rouyun cut to the chase, as she explained her reasons to pick him as the one she wished to discuss with. Although she was closer to Mo Chu, she also understood that such grand plans were not suitable for him to help her with.
Also, among the people left behind by Li Moyun, Elder Sun was one of the few she had a bit of contact with before. He was a quiet and gentle person, but she understood that he had the ability to rule the Eternal Shadow Palace with an iron fist.
If she did not make use of such a great asset, who would she use?
Elder Sun's eyes narrowed as he looked at the facial expression of Bai Rouyun. He tried to look for the smallest hint of falsehood, but all he found was her complete lack of attention to the subject. Instead, she kept observing the chessboard in front of them.
Bai Rouyun had learned to play chess in her past life. She would often gamble with the elderly gentlemen who would gather in the teahouses to pass time, and she would use the winnings from the chess games to feed herself.
As such, her skills in playing chess were very unpolished, but she had managed to succeed the majority of the times she had played. Only when encountering a true master would she lose.
After rebirth, her mind had begun to look at the world differently. The way she thought had also changed, and although she had not played chess after rebirth, she already understood many truths which would assist her in growing stronger, both mentaly and physically.
The chess game was without a doubt the best she had ever played, but even so, she had not been capable of defeating Elder Sun.
Even so, she did not feel embarrassed, angry, or discouraged. Her eyes were glued to the chess board in front of her, as she observed the numerous stones that had been played in a controlled manner.
She could see that Elder Sun was a true genius in the realm of chess, but even so, she had managed to bring him a great thrilling challenge throughout the game, which also proved her own ability.
Such a defeat was fully accepted and admired.
Elder Sun had also understood Bai Rouyun's reasons for trusting him, and that her bottom line for trusting people when it came to the Eternal Shadow Palace was relying on her husband. Such realization made him feel relieved, and he no longer mentioned these matters.
Instead, he began to explain the choices he had made throughout the game, and he began moving the stones around and explaining the different options he could have made, and what the results would be.
Bai Rouyun listened intently and kept observing the various movements of the stones, and the chain of reaction that would have happened if he had moved them differently.
Such a lecture was enough to make Bai Rouyun focused and curious. Both Elder Sun and herself understood that chess was more than just a board game. This was a way to keep one's mind agile, and it was also a suitable way to learn how to strategize and scheme against the enemy.
Since Li Moyun had left the Eternal Shadow Palace in her hands, Elder Sun would gladly take over the task of training her, and allowing her to become a fearsome figure in the entire continent.
This sight of the two figures sitting across each other with a chess board between them was what greeted Jiang Wei as he entered the hall.
He had long since known that Bai Rouyun was different from all others, but he was still very curious about her. Even the female geniuses from the Wushi Continent were only learning chess because it was expected from them. They never actually used it as a tool to keep their mind agile, and improve their ability to strategize.
"It seems that not everyone from this continent is useless. To be honest, Li Moyun has managed to gather a whole group of talented people around him. What to do? I get more and more envious of him."
The voice of Jiang Wei was so low that no one noticed his words, however he still had to wait a few seconds before the emotions were suppressed, and he happily walked forward, appearing exactly the same as usual.
