Su Su supported her chin with one hand and reached into the black chess cup. She smiled faintly and said,""You just can't calm down. Actually, playing chess is quite interesting. The saying that chess is like life is not groundless. If you were too anxious and couldn't help but kill me after losing a piece, it would be easy for you to reveal a flaw and force yourself into a dead end.”
" Miss…what are we here for…" Lu Nong helplessly picked up a white chess piece and said as she pondered.
Su Su glanced at the place where she placed her last piece and said,""For the dragon scales."
Pa! The black piece was placed on the white piece. Lü Nong was stunned as she watched her white piece being picked up by Su Su and falling into the black piece's chess cup. She looked up at the unusually calm woman in front of her in a panic and was at a loss."What…what did the young miss say…what dragon scale?”
Su Su curled her lips into a smile and continued to place down a black piece, blocking the abandoned piece that Lü Nong avoided.""I don't think I need to say anything more about what dragon scales are. Lü Nong, if I say that I want to destroy this world, do you think it's possible?”
"Miss…are you crazy?" Lunong stood up with the chessboard in her hand and stared at Su Su who was still playing with the scattered pieces.
Su Su tilted her head slightly and looked at the chaotic sounds of weapons clashing outside the paper window. The warm sun shone through the window and scattered on the chessboard. Her long eyelashes fluttered and an ethereal voice entered Lü Nong's ears,""Forget it. It's too troublesome to destroy the world. It's fine as long as I destroy those who want to destroy me.”
The entire Thunder Castle was in a festive mood on the day of his birthday. The bright red color that covered the entire place entered Su Su's eyes unscrupulously. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a rather disdainful tone,""It's just a 60th birthday, and these gimmicks are like a wedding.”
"Susu, don't worry. When you marry Siyuan one day, Siyuan will definitely make it known to the whole world.”Pei Siyuan had appeared beside her at some point. He stretched his back as if he had no bones, but his voice was not as serious as his appearance.
Su Su tilted her head to look at him, a smile on her lips that did not reach her eyes.""General, don't make such meaningless jokes. Su Su is not interested in taking someone else's husband.”
Pei Siyuan lowered his eyes and laughed at himself."Susu, sometimes you are so smart that people want to destroy you, but sometimes you are also stupid.”
Su Su looked up at the clear sky and said nonchalantly,""You taught me. It's rare to be muddle-headed, isn't it?”
Lu Nong, who had been behind the two of them, was crying bitterly. She really did not understand what this man and woman were saying. It was really very anxious to be unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
When Lei Yixuan saw Su Su and Pei Siyuan, he smiled and stepped forward. He cupped his hands and said,""Miss Su, the banquet has been arranged in the front hall. Yixuan has already instructed the servants to prepare a good seat for Miss Su.”
Su Su nodded slightly and smiled politely.""Thank you for your trouble, Mister."
Waving his hand, Lei Yixuan glanced at Pei Siyuan, who was leaning against the bridge pillar beside Su Su, then turned his gaze back to Su Su and smiled apologetically,""Yixuan still has something to do, so he won't accompany Miss Su.”
Watching Lei Yixuan leave, Pei Siyuan stood up and said sarcastically,""He's just an old man. Su Su wouldn't really like him, right?”
"It's just a chess piece. If it's useless, then throw it away like a worn shoe.”He brushed away the non-existent dust on his light purple sleeves and his eyes were cold.
When they arrived at the banquet in the front yard, there were already no absentees. As soon as Su Su stepped into the banquet, a handsome young man came over.""Miss Su, the young master has reserved a seat for you. This way, please.”
He nodded and smiled. This was the expression that Su Su had made the most since she came to Thunder Castle. When she hid her sharp edge, it was easier to attract people. That kind of calm and demure temperament was even better than the orchid in the empty valley, making people want to approach but not dare to approach.
Sitting at the top table, Su Su looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her and secretly clicked her tongue. These people in Jianghu really had a rich source of income. Pei Siyuan sat on her left, and Lu Nong sat on her right. The table was filled with people who did not know each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"It's my birthday today. Thank you for your kindness and coming to Thunder Castle to see me!”A voice that was as loud as a bell rang out from the upper hall. The guests at all tables stood up and cupped their hands."Castle Lord, you're too kind." "Of course, of course." "It's our honor to be able to come to Thunder Castle.”
Su Su naturally stood up as well, but it was just a formality. She naturally disdained to say those polite and hypocritical words. Fortunately, everyone's eyes were focused on the old man who came out with an iron crutch. Sixty years old was not considered old, but if one looked at the old master, they would feel that he was really old compared to the old man in front of them. His hair was gray but he did not look old at all. His eyes were sharp and shrewd, and his posture was tall and straight.
Old Fortress Master Lei, Lei Tingsheng, raised his hand slightly. Everyone understood and sat down. For a moment, there was silence, waiting for the old man to speak. Lei Tingsheng's sharp gaze swept past the crowd and finally stopped at Su Su and Pei Siyuan's table. He smiled and said,""Today, Thunder Castle is the host.”
Since the master had said that he could enjoy himself, he naturally couldn't lose face. Moreover, the people in Jianghu were actually rough and boorish. In the face of these delicacies, they naturally didn't hold back. However, there was no lack of big sects among them. Naturally, they had to be reserved and noble. Most of them were surrounded by a group of people who looked at each other and smiled at each other. It was as if they would not move if the enemy did not move.
There was nothing special about this birthday banquet. The people sitting together didn't know each other and didn't even know how to greet each other. They could only eat and drink in silence as they listened to the singing on the stage. Looking around, no one had an expression of enjoyment on their faces.
"This is really the most boring birthday banquet I've attended in all my years of life.”Pei Siyuan smiled as he glanced at Su Su, who was sipping wine, and teased her.
Su Su glanced at him and picked up a piece of vegetable in his bowl.""Even eating can't shut your mouth."
Su Su did not think that this action was inappropriate. Pei Siyuan was so happy that she could be so close to him. Naturally, he ate the vegetable with a smile and chewed for a long time with an intoxicated expression. However, in the eyes of others, it was completely different. Not to mention that they didn't know the identity of these two people, such an intimate action was enough to make Bill think about their relationship. Not to mention Lei Yixuan, who had just entered the banquet.
Lei Yixuan rubbed the jade ring on his thumb and narrowed his shrewd eyes slightly.
"Young castle master, it's time to sit." It was only when a servant reminded him in a low voice that he came back to his senses and smiled as he became the leader. At this time, the Ma Gu Xian Shou on the stage was singing a wonderful part, but Lei Yixuan's thoughts could not focus on the stage, all of them were on the scene he had just witnessed. Was Su Su really just a female guard…
Suddenly, she felt her stomach churn. Su Su frowned and whispered,""I need to leave for a while. Remember to tell Lei Yixuan that I'm not feeling well if he comes.”
"You really miss that old man.”Pei Siyuan said nonchalantly. The jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Su Su stunned her. Su Su turned her head to avoid his gaze and said coldly,""Stop pretending, Pei Siyuan. In this life, I will act for anyone but you.”
Watching the light purple color gradually disappear around a corner, Pei Siyuan looked thoughtfully at the rice in his bowl. An unknown string in his heart was gently pulled, and then…there was an indescribable pain.
After leaving the banquet, Su Su felt much better. She glanced around the empty garden and smiled. This was exactly what she wanted. It was much more convenient when no one was looking for things.
Following the route she had memorized last time, Su Su carefully observed everything around her and memorized all the suspicious places so that she could visit at night. This Thunder Castle was not very big. It did not take long for Su Su to reach the man-made lake she passed by last time. She saw a stone tablet by the lake with two simple and clear red characters: Bihu.
"Thunder Castle really knows how to save trouble by naming it.”Su Su muttered to herself in a low voice. She walked around the stone tablet and found that it was not special. Then, she looked away and stared at the huge waterwheel that was slowly rotating in the Green Lake.
"Where did all this lake water go?”Su Su squatted down and looked at the ditch that was two feet long from the lake. She could have dug a ditch directly by the lake. Instead of using such a simple method, she chose to dig a ditch in the open space and then use the diabolo on the water wagon to guide the lake water into this artificial ditch... She did not believe that such a laborious method was just to find the feeling of being rich.
"If you want to know where you've been lured to, just follow this and investigate.”
She suddenly looked up. The voice behind her was cold and familiar. In her memory, this person was always dressed in black. Sometimes, when she remembered that she knew this mysterious person, she couldn't help but wonder if he only had one piece of clothing... She didn't stand up. Su Su remained squatting in front of the ditch. One of her hands even reached into the ditch. The warm lake water under the hot summer sun kissed her skin. The soft and warm touch seemed to be able to moisten Su Su's heart. Then it would follow the downstream curve and flow somewhere else out of sight.
Turning his head slightly, he caught a glimpse of a dark purple figure. That person stood with his hands behind his back, and a cold saber was hanging from his waist to show his identity. His long and narrow phoenix eyes were emotionless as he looked at the purple-robed woman squatting in front of him. His black hair swayed to the ground. When he tilted his head slightly, he could see her eyelashes fluttering when she blinked, forming a beautiful shadow on her fair face.
"Gu Yizheng, I haven't seen you for a few days.”
This was the first sentence Su Su said to Gu Yizheng on their fourth meeting. She said it in a teasing manner, and her pale lips curled into a shallow arc. It was more real than usual.
Gu Yizheng glanced at Su Su's purple dress and lowered her eyes to cover her beautiful black eyes.""Aren't you the same? The last few times I saw you, you were always dressed in white.”
