Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Jade Palace Immortal Boat, Grand Diviner.

"Junior sister~ you'd better be careful. If you don't think through your next move, I might just take this game!"

Ten-year-old Fu Xuan was deep in thought, her pretty brows slightly furrowed, a battle raging in her mind.

First, why did they play Gomoku? And why did they play it for so long?

Aren't all the plays about playing Go?

Secondly, my senior sister is very cunning; she's definitely hiding something big that she's plotting against me. I need to think this through carefully.

In the current Gomoku (Five in a Row) competition, Fu Xuan is facing Yao Guang, with the score at 0 to 9.

This was a significant blow to Fu Xuan, who considered himself a genius.

A mere game of Gomoku, with its eight possible variations, is within one's grasp; how could it be unsolvable?!

Fu Xuan made up his mind and prepared to make a move.

But Yao Guang's faint voice quietly sounded from the side.

"Junior sister~ are you really going to do this? Then I'll have to..."

"No! I won't go down here!"

Fu Xuan was very anxious and quickly examined the chessboard again.

How could this be? How did Senior Sister win?

Forget it, let's download somewhere else.

When Fu Xuan made his move again, Yao Guang leisurely formed a double three.

The defeat is set.

Fu Xuan unwillingly braced himself on the ground with both hands.

"How...how could this happen! If I had placed my bet here, I wouldn't have lost!"

Yao Guang said jokingly:

"Junior sister, you are too rigid and too easily swayed. If you were more firm in your judgment, you wouldn't have lost."

Fu Xuan was not convinced.

"This is truly my first time playing Gomoku. After I practice diligently, I'll definitely crush my senior sister!"

"Oh my, then I'll be waiting for your good news, senior sister."

Jingtian, feeling the "friendly" interaction between her fellow disciples through the curtain, nodded with satisfaction.

"Fu Xuan is a rough gem. With careful polishing, his future achievements are limitless. I have gained two good disciples. The two complement each other, which perfectly aligns with Cheng Xiao's Yin-Yang Dao."

Then Jingtian frowned again.

"I was thinking that if Yao Guang could succeed as general, Fu Xuan could become the Grand Diviner, but Wang Xu... oh well, I promised him I would help find a successor."

"My head hurts..."

Fu Xuan is now ten years old. He is a member of a family that observes stars and has been exposed to divination and calculation since childhood.

Now, with Jingtian's guidance, Fu Xuan has begun to form his own personality and values.

As Jingtian said, Yaoguang and Fuxuan can be said to have two opposite personalities.

Fu Xuan is well-behaved and serious, with a touch of arrogance. Yao Guangchun Demon Pill, on the other hand, is clearly a troublemaker and a troublemaker.

Jingtian had asked Fu Xuan about her views on divination when Fu Xuan was nine years old.

Even the answer might contradict the original intention.

Yao Guang's understanding of divination techniques is all about predicting good or bad fortune.

But ultimately, good or bad always depends on human change.

Seek change. Even if it means getting involved yourself.

Fu Xuan also believed that planning was up to people, but the plans he made were trapped by the results of divination.

She pursued the best of all outcomes, without ever considering creating one herself.

The two are quite contrasting, one fickle and the other steady, truly two extremes.

Yao Guang looked at the unconvinced Fu Xuan, and felt extremely happy.

This junior sister, who pretends to be stiff but refuses to back down, is so cute.

Moreover, it's pink and tender, just like a delicious piece of lotus root cake.

"Junior sister, shall we say one more line?"

"No, let's play a divination game this time!"

"Oh dear, is Junior Sister trying to challenge Senior Sister to a contest of divination skills?"

Fu Xuan snorted:

"In matters of divination, I am by no means inferior to you!"

The two then gestured for a while, each holding several divination symbols in their hands.

"Junior sister, the tea is a little cold, and the tea leaves have sunk to the bottom. You should have drawn the one on the left."

"How is that possible! The divination shows that the one on my right is the winning sign!"

"Oh? Are you absolutely sure?"

"Hmph! Absolutely no mistakes!"

Yao Guang chuckled lightly:

"If you lose this time, you'll have to give me your entire personal bottle of hand cream!"

Fu Xuan was somewhat unsure of himself, but he still tried to sound confident.

"Such a simple game...how could anything change?"

Fu Xuan lowered his head, refusing to be disturbed by the light of the hexagrams any longer, and turned the talisman in his right hand over to show it.

The result was a crushing defeat.

"Oh my gosh~ Looks like my luck is on the way~"

Fu Xuan was extremely anxious:

"How could this be?! Again and again, this is absolutely impossible!"

The two played the divination game for an entire afternoon. Fu Xuan lost more than she won, and Yao Guang accompanied her to start over time.

Jingtian was considering whether it was time to inform Fuxuan about her divination.

That predetermined prophecy of death is something the diviner must confront.

......

Inside the Luofu Dan Ding Division, Yun Hua was pleading bitterly.

"Cheng Xiao, you have to help me this time!"

"No way, absolutely not! How could you ask me to do something like this!"

"But in the entire Luofu region, you are the only person I can truly trust."

Cheng Xiao glanced at Yun Hua and sighed.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that your request is too much."

"Danzhu is young. If you're going to Zhu Ming to discuss academic matters, why not take her with you? Why entrust her to me?"

Yunhua scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"This...you don't know, Danzhu dislikes the heat of Zhu Ming the most, and Luofu Chiming is a dragon that dwells in water and guards trees."

Cheng Xiao glanced at Yun Hua with surprise.

So Danzhu was like that? In the original story, she still resolutely followed you into exile to Zhu Ming.

Danzhu has a strong sense of mentorship and a deep pursuit of justice.

Cheng Xiao still refused.

"Danfeng and Xuantong, the two Dragon Lords, are very close. You're telling me they're incompatible? Nonsense! Besides, Danzhu will benefit greatly from going to Zhuming. Zhuming's Mingming techniques and elixir formulas are incredibly novel. Danzhu might actually be very talented."

"Besides... when you said you wouldn't take her, did you consider her feelings? As her master, you shouldn't make decisions for your disciple without her consent."

Yunhua pondered for a long time, but was eventually persuaded by Chengxiao.

"Sigh, I didn't think it through. I overthought things. Instead of thinking it over and over again, I should have just asked directly."

Cheng Xiao nodded in satisfaction:

"This child is teachable."

Yunhua sighed:

"Cheng Xiao, you are such a good helper to me. If I weren't a man, I would really like to marry you."

"Get out, get out, stop being such a disgusting person."

After sending Yunhua away, Cheng Xiao began his own investigation.

In the past, Yunwu often acted as a group, but now that the situation is peaceful, everyone is acting independently.

However, Yingxing's whereabouts have been rather unpredictable lately, and Chengxiao has not been able to find her in the forging room where she usually stays.

He always felt that Yingxing was hiding something from everyone, and that she often used excuses to go out.

In order to find out his wife's whereabouts, Cheng Xiao decides to become a famous detective.

(The husband, noticing something was wrong with his wife, began to track her movements.)

Bai Lu was also at the Dan Ding Division, silently watching her father leave.

"Damn it, how come I have such a good imagination? I always think of strange and weird things."

"Should we tell Father?"
