Chapter 82 Bronze Ancient Character
On the chessboard, the black and white pieces, which had remained immobile for hundreds of years, with black having a slight advantage, were all but ruined by Nezha’s lousy move, not only forfeiting their advantage but also presenting a huge flaw to the white pieces.
Now looking at the chessboard, with only 204 spaces left, every single space seems to display no sign of vitality for the black pieces.
Yet Wu Xiang Monk, with his mysterious origins and broad knowledge, behaves differently.
He does not whisper and chat like the cultivators from Purple Dragon Island beside him; silent and aloof, he seems to stand apart from the world, even his newly grown black hair tips appear filled with wisdom.
As all present are cultivators, they obviously understand the importance of wisdom roots in breaking through cultivation levels; the more they look at Wu Xiang, the more their hearts seize with apprehension.
This includes Gu Jianqing.
With just one glimpse at Wu Xiang Monk, he knows he is far inferior, hence his demeanor grows more respectful, yet his inner thoughts starkly contrast his outward appearance.
In other words, he knows very well that he is nothing but a hypocritical backstabber.
The more he observes Wu Xiang Monk, the itchier his heart becomes.
He even starts to feel that his own master, who although is strict and stingy, always taught him generously without reservations, would change his look after seeing Wu Xiang Monk and then at him.
