Chapter 130 The Chess Master's Intentions

Shen Youyou shouted before Xie Ban Gui could speak, "As a ghost king of the underworld, you cannot interfere in the affairs of the Yang realm. You are breaking a taboo."

Xie Ban Gui sneered, "Indeed, I cannot interfere in the affairs of the Yang realm. However, you, Shen Youyou, are an exception. As the first generation Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren (life borrower), how can I allow a ghost who specializes in dealing with life borrowers to exist?"

"Fatty, shut her mouth first. I still have things to finish here."

That fatty should be Xie Ban Gui's sworn brother, the other of the Ghost Bureau's Twin Prides, Fatty Gao Sheng!

Upon hearing Xie Ban Gui's instruction, Fatty wasted no time in opening the coffin and delivering two swift punches inside, completely silencing Shen Youyou.

At this moment, I also returned to my senses from the shock and cupped my fist towards Xie Ban Gui, saying, "Li Po, a junior of the Two Realm Hall, greets Ghost King Xie and thanks you for saving my life."

Before Xie Ban Gui could speak, Fatty shouted from afar, "No need to thank my brother. He only took action because he liked you. Otherwise, he wouldn't lift a finger even if all of your people died."

"Get lost!" Xie Ban Gui scolded with a smile before turning to me and saying, "If Hall Master Li has time, how about we sit down and talk?"

"Please don't call me Hall Master, Ghost King. Just call me Li Po!" Although I wasn't fond of coffin peddlers, Xie Ban Gui had just saved the Two Realm Hall, so I couldn't give him a cold shoulder, could I?

Xie Ban Gui was casual about it. He found a spot with fewer corpses, swept it clean, and used his power to grab the coffin lid that Fatty Gao had thrown on the ground.

He pulled out two bottles of wine and a few oiled paper packages from his person and casually spread them on the coffin lid, then pushed the wine towards Ye Yang and me, saying, "No chopsticks, help yourselves to whatever you want!"

Ye Yang didn't say anything, nor did he touch the wine bottle.

That's just how Ye Yang was. When his mysophobia acted up, he wouldn't give face to anyone, not even the King of Heaven.

I casually picked up the wine bottle. "Ghost King Xie, I'll toast you."

Seeing that Ye Yang hadn't touched the wine bottle, Xie Ban Gui couldn't help but laugh, "Lord Ye still has the same temper. Even in his reincarnated form, he's unwilling to touch my wine."

Ye Yang's expression immediately changed.

Xie Ban Gui calling him Lord Ye clearly meant that he knew his true identity!

Xie Ban Gui, however, seemed to be deliberately teasing Ye Yang and changed the subject, "I came to the Yang realm this time to track down the Yi Tian Chess Master (chess master who plays with fate). I didn't expect that after throwing out one of his hidden chess pieces, he would quietly slip away."

I couldn't help but ask, "Shen Youyou was his chess piece?"

"Correct!" Xie Ban Gui said, "Shen Youyou was originally not awakened, nor had she recovered to the point of being able to suppress a city. It was the Yi Tian Chess Master who gave her two chess pieces that allowed her to awaken a few days ago."

"After Shen Youyou awakened, she followed the Yi Tian Chess Master's instructions and detained Feng Ruoxing and Wang Xiaohuan."

"That idiot apprentice of mine, upon learning of Wang Xiaohuan's disappearance, immediately led the Tian Ya Guard (sky's edge guard) to rescue them."

"At her peak, Shen Youyou could have wiped out my Tian Ya Guard with a flip of her hand. So, I had no choice but to come and save that idiot's life. Being a master is so tiring!"

I didn't expect that the dignified Po Jun (destroyer of armies) Ghost King would actually swear.

At this moment, Gao Fatty also walked over, sat down next to Xie Ban Gui with a swagger, reached out and grabbed a few slices of soy sauce beef, threw them into his mouth, and then picked up the bottle of wine that Xie Ban Gui had drunk from and took two big gulps, exhaling a mouthful of alcohol before saying, "My brother is like this. He looks all proper and refined, but he's actually just a boor!"

Xie Ban Gui ignored Gao Fatty and continued, "After I arrived, I heard the people from the Samsara Department plotting against you. I also wanted to figure out what the relationship between the Samsara Department and the Yi Tian Chess Master was, so I stayed to see the outcome!"

"You should already know what happened after that!"

I took the opportunity to ask, "Who is the Yi Tian Chess Master? What is his purpose?"

Xie Ban Gui hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm wondering if I should tell you about this?"

Gao Fatty waved his hand and said, "I'm really puzzled. What are you and Wang Hun worried about?"

"Last time, Wang Hun met with them and didn't say anything. Do you want to be like him, letting the fart stink before letting it out?"

"When you two were roaming the martial world, you would charge into enemy lines like dogs fighting for food."

"Now that you're older, you're being secretive with the younger generation?"

"Little Li and Little Ye are already in the game. Whether you tell them or not, they still have to hop around on this chessboard."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with knowing some things sooner rather than later!"

Xie Ban Gui was still hesitant, "The reason we don't say anything is because we're afraid they won't be able to resist seeking the truth. That road is too dangerous. Even Wang Hun and I wouldn't dare to touch the Yi Tian Chess Master without being prepared. They…"

Gao Fatty became even more displeased when he heard this, "Do you think they're stupid? Would they charge headfirst into a mountain of knives and a sea of fire?"

"They're all grown up. Don't they know what courting death means?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if they really want to court death, do you think you can stop them?"

"If you ask me, just let the fart out. Don't keep holding it in. It's making me uncomfortable just watching!"
