Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 564
It's been so long since the primary ceremony started, this is the first time Ying Baoyue heard Mo Hua speak.

Since the first time I saw him at the Jixia Banquet, this young man has been following behind Meng Shi with a blank expression. His bronzed face has always been emotionless, so plain that one wonders if he is wearing a mask.

The same is true for speaking, so taciturn that if you hadn't seen him talking to Meng Shi, you would have been suspected of being dumb.

The last time Ying Baoyue felt this way was when Qian Qin met Li Ji for the first time.

But at this time, this young man named Mo Hua spoke for the first time in a chess game, and he still spoke so angrily.

After Mo Hua finished cursing this sentence, he looked up at her for a moment, then immediately bowed his head to apologize.

"I'm sorry, the villain is disrespectful." A trace of apology flashed across the boy's eyes, "I didn't mean you."

Ying Baoyue shook her head, "It's okay, I know."

After all, she didn't do anything asshole...

Since she is someone close to Meng Shi, she won't be able to swear at others.

Staring at the anger suppressed by etiquette in the brown eyes of the young man in front of him, Ying Baoyue looked sideways slightly at his hand tightly gripping the chess table.As expected, the veins on the back of Mo Hua's hands were bulging, showing how angry he was.

Thinking of the indifference and shattered face of this man just now, Ying Baoyue was a little surprised.

The main reason is that he left a deep impression of calmness on people before.

It turned out that this person could still have such an expression on his face.

"By the way, what's wrong with you?" Ying Baoyue asked.

Originally, it should be Mo Hua's turn to get off at this time, and he is also ready to get off.But what happened just now, Mo Hua actually took away the chess piece, at this time his hands were tightly gripping the chessboard and he didn't reach out to grab the chess piece.

Everyone in the semi-finals has a very long time to think, and Ying Baoyue can't rush him.But the state of the young man in front of him is obviously not right, and his emotions have been completely disturbed.

It is extremely rare for a practitioner to be unable to hold a chess piece, let alone the young man in front of her.

Although she didn't have a deep friendship, she could clearly feel the secret of this silent boy after only playing half a game of chess.

This person is obviously a very mature practitioner, so mature that she faintly felt that such a person should not appear here.

But at this moment, the calmness on Mo Hua's face was broken.

"I..." Hearing Ying Baoyue's question, Mo Hua opened his mouth but didn't make any excuses.Even though his heart was burning with anxiety, he gritted his teeth and didn't look back.He is playing chess on the field, and he cannot look at other people's chessboard according to etiquette.Looking around while playing chess with others is the greatest disrespect to the opponent.

There was sweat running down his jaw.

Seeing him like this, Ying Baoyue narrowed her eyes.It must be something serious that can make this young man who has always been calm and self-sufficient into a mess.

As for the person who can arouse this person's emotions, she has only known one person so far.

"You can watch whatever you want," she said quietly, "Did something happen to the chess game over there?"

Mo Hua was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the girl on the other side of the chessboard in surprise.

"I don't play chess with people who don't pay attention." Ying Baoyue looked at Mo Hua's bruised hand, "What's wrong with Meng Shi?"

After a little distraction, she also heard the noise of the surrounding crowd, many of them turned to the other side.Obviously there was something wrong with Meng Shi's chess game, otherwise he wouldn't have been so surprised.

Could it be that Beihan Pavilion has become a demon again?

Thinking of her opponent, it's really hard not to be so suspicious...

But under the watchful eyes of so many people, and it's not the dark forest where the medicine was collected in the war of medicine and poison, how will Beihan Pavilion act as a demon this time?

Besides...

The two chessboards on the lotus platform stand back to back. Although the distance is not close, according to the position, Mo Hua and He Lancheng are facing back to back.

From Ying Baoyue's position and over Mo Hua's shoulder, she could see a little bit of the back of He Lancheng's head, but could not see Meng Shi's face.

Because Meng Shi was shorter than He Lancheng, his figure was completely blocked by He Lancheng.

Even so, Mo Hua's back was facing the No. [-] chessboard, and he should not be able to see that chessboard at all, let alone Meng Shi.But why could he find something wrong on Meng Shi's chessboard?
The two large upright chessboards that were shown to the examiners and the public were erected side by side on the examiner's high platform, perpendicular to the position of the chessboard on the lotus platform. Ying Baoyue and his chess players had to turn their heads to see it.

At this time, looking at Mo Hua who was staring at the chessboard in front of him without saying a word and never letting go, Ying Baoyue's eyes darkened slightly.The next moment she closed her eyes and turned her head sideways, looking at the big chessboard on the examiner's high platform.

Ji Jiashu caught her gaze on the high platform and was slightly taken aback, and the crowd booed immediately.

"Why did Princess Qin look around while playing chess?"

"Do you understand etiquette? Still want to watch other people's chess games?"

"Win a few games and then forget your roots? This attitude is simply..."

It is taboo for a chess player to look away from the chessboard during a chess game. Bystanders will think that the game is dishonest. In the words of the older generation, it will be punished by the chess god.

Mo Hua, who was originally silent, raised his head slightly, and looked at the girl in front of him in amazement, "You are like this..."

"No way, you don't talk, I'm a little worried about her condition." Ying Baoyue withdrew her gaze and looked at the opposite boy with sunburn on his face who seemed to be suppressing a lot of thoughts.

"White has the advantage, do you think this situation is unreasonable?"

It was clear at a glance that Meng Shi was at a disadvantage at this time, and if this continued, she would lose.

But Ying Baoyue didn't think that Mo Hua was the kind of practitioner who would curse at someone close to him if he lost chess.

The first thing this person scolded just now was "that bastard!"

Although I feel a little sorry for He Lancheng, Ying Baoyue doesn't think that with He Lancheng's strength, if he really loses to Meng Shi, he can be called this bastard.

After all, in terms of comprehensive strength... She stared at the boy in front of her, it was such a short contact, but she could understand.

Although this may be a fact that the public cannot accept.

But the inconspicuous little follower next to the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty, this young man named Mo Hua, should be stronger than He Lancheng.

Real people don't show their faces.

It was the sweeping monk.

If you say something like a bastard, you can either scold a heartless person, or a vicious person, or a practitioner scold... someone who is stronger than him.

He Lancheng was obviously not.

"Is there anything wrong with He Lancheng?" Ying Baoyue continued to ask.

At this time Mo Hua finally spoke, "Yes."

At this time, his back is still facing the chessboard behind him.

"Could it be controlled by some method related to the true essence?" Ying Baoyue's eyes were dark, and he spoke quietly.

This person was able to discover all of this with his back to the chessboard. The only possibility she could think of was that he might have sensed something wrong with the flow of true energy in the air.

Mo Hua's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he raised his head in astonishment, as if seeing the girl sitting opposite the chessboard for the first time.

He was able to detect the clue because he knew that person well, but the girl in front of him didn't have enough level and experience, so how could she almost guess the truth the first time?

"You look like I'm right." Ying Baoyue's eyes became serious, "It seems that you understand the specific situation better. Is there a way to solve this matter?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "It's too late."

He realized it was too late, and the real opponent was too skilled.

Even if the chess game is forcibly interrupted at this time, the examiner will judge directly according to the direction of the endgame, and Meng Shi will undoubtedly lose.

Besides...

At this moment, the bell of the end came from the ears of the two of them.

Ying Baoyue's shoulder shook, and her fingertips plunged into her palm.

A drop of blood oozes from the fingertips of Mo Hua clasped on the chessboard.

The sky was full of darkness, shrouded in the forest, as if there was no light.

"No. [-] chessboard, the winner, He Lancheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty!"

The examiner's voice sounded.

The first practitioner to enter the final was born.

Meng Shi, stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Lost.

　The darkness will eventually be broken one day.
