My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

The meaning of him sitting and playing chess with His Majesty in place of the leader is quite clear!

Although it was known that Qi Yu was the leader's disciple and was very likely to become the next leader, it was still just speculation and possibility.

But Li Muchen's words at this moment undoubtedly turned the speculation into a fact.

Qi Yu is definitely going to become the next head coach; it's not a possibility!

The leader of the sect held a position second only to the emperor in the Dayun Dynasty. This was because it was someone else's territory, and Taoism was an outsider, living under someone else's roof. Ultimately, it was not appropriate for the sect to usurp the throne.

However, in terms of influence on the mainland, the leader far surpasses the emperor.

Taoism has a profound influence because it has existed for a long time. In addition to the Dayun Dynasty, there are Taoist believers in other countries and even on the mainland.

Everyone was looking at Qi Yu, but Qi Yu himself was frowning.

Li Muchen looked at Qi Yu and asked with a smile, "Didn't your teacher tell you?"

Qi Yu looked at Li Muchen and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

Looking at Qi Yu's expression and eyes, Li Muchen couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, as Qi Yu didn't seem to be lying.

"Did your teacher give you anything?" Li Muchen asked.

Qi Yu thought for a moment and took out the purple jade pendant that the sect leader had given him.

Others might not recognize this jade pendant, but Li Muchen did. He shook his head with a wry smile.

"Qi Yu, this jade was passed down to him by your grandmaster, who is also your teacher's master. Most sects and clans use jade pendants as tokens of inheritance, with purple jade being the most prized."

"You have received the token of the sect leader's inheritance, so you are the sect leader's personal disciple. He is also announcing to the world that you are his successor and the successor of Taoism!"

Qi Yu listened, completely bewildered, feeling the jade pendant in his hand become incredibly heavy.

The teacher didn't say it was a heirloom jade pendant; he just said it was a gift for himself as a farewell present.

Who would have thought this was a heirloom jade pendant!

Looking back now, it seems the coach smiled then, though it was a faint smile, but it really was a smile.

He's digging his own grave!

"Is it too late for me to return it now?"

Chapter 108 Submitting Homework

"Your Majesty, I believe I am not qualified to play this game, so I shall take my leave now!" Qi Yu said, bowing respectfully.

This game is a bit too big; he wasn't mentally prepared for it.

"Do you know what will happen if you don't play this game?" Li Muchen asked with a smile.

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Li Ming, who was calm and composed beside him.

His cooperation with Li Ming was limited to the destruction of the Chang family; he had no intention of getting involved further.

If you want to continue living a leisurely life, you must have the power to intimidate those who are hostile to you.

So, whether you want to play this game or not, you have to play it?

"What will I gain if I win? What will I have to give up if I lose?" Qi Yu asked.

Li Muchen chuckled and said, "What do you want?"

"Anything is fine?" Qi Yu asked.

Li Muchen nodded in agreement.

Qi Yu thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to need anything in particular.

"If I win, Your Majesty can grant me one condition that doesn't violate your principles!" Qi Yu said.

If there's nothing I need, I'll just owe it for now; I might need it later.

"And what if you lose?" Li Muchen asked.

Qi Yu pondered for a moment, then asked, "What does Your Majesty desire?"

Li Muchen thought for a moment and said, "If you lose, you will have to become the Grand Chancellor of my Great Yun Dynasty, and there is currently a vacancy!"

The Grand Chancellor was the head of all officials, leading all other officials, and was a high-ranking official of the first rank.

Everyone around was stunned, then looked at Qi Yu strangely.

Is Your Majesty trying to steal people from Taoism?

Qi Yu pondered for a moment, then looked at the chess pieces on the board, choosing to play black to represent the head coach.

Last time I made a mistake and managed to turn the tide. Although I can play, my chances of winning are less than 40%.

In this situation, should we still download it?

"Okay!" Qi Yu nodded and agreed.

Li Muchen smiled slightly, then pointed to the stone bench opposite him.

After bowing to Li Muchen, Qi Yu sat down on the stone bench.

Following Qi Yu's move last time, it's Li Muchen's turn now.

Li Muchen picked up a piece and placed it on the chessboard, right next to Qi Yu's piece.

Qi Yu glanced at Li Muchen and began to coordinate the placement of pieces on the chessboard.

Most of the people around her knew a little about Go, and Lin Ruoxi was an expert at it.

But as I looked at it, I couldn't quite understand it anymore.

Because it's so chaotic, with hidden dangers lurking within the confusion, it's hard to distinguish truth from falsehood.

After twenty moves, Qi Yu finished perfectly, winning by a quarter of a point!

The dozen or so people around him couldn't understand Qi Yu's move, and yet he won.

Li Muchen put Qi Yu down, then looked at Qi Yu and smiled, "You won. Who taught you Go?"

"It's all self-taught, I learned it all on my own!" Qi Yu said respectfully, bowing.

Li Muchen smiled but didn't ask anything further.

"Qi Yu, do you have any plans to remarry?" Li Muchen suddenly asked.

Qi Yu was taken aback, and even Li Qing, who had been keeping a cold expression, looked surprised.

Everyone looked at Li Muchen, and then involuntarily, they all looked at Qi Yu.

This rhythm seems off!

"What do you mean by remarrying?" Qi Yu's Adam's apple bobbed as he asked.

"A concubine as a secondary wife!" Li Muchen laughed.

Just as Su Yue was about to say something, she felt a gaze behind her that wasn't sharp, but rather very indifferent or even apathetic, and she shuddered.

Taking concubines or remarriage was common, but it was also acceptable to have a wife of equal status...

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of remarrying!" Qi Yu hurriedly said.

Li Muchen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's a real pity. Otherwise, I was thinking of marrying Yulan to you as your second wife!"

Li Yulan? That arrogant princess?

forget it!

I wouldn't even take it for free!

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but my heart is small and can only hold one person!"

Qi Yu stood up, bowed, and didn't raise his head after speaking.

Was I disobeying the imperial decree?

If it weren't for the leader's sake, wouldn't I have dragged him out and beheaded him on the spot?!

Li Muchen looked at Su Yue, then smiled and said, "Su Chengying is quite lucky!"

He said this sincerely, not as flattery.

He did envy Su Chengying for having a daughter like Su Yue.

Moreover, his daughter brought back a talented man like Qi Yu.

Su Yue bowed slightly, but said nothing.

From the moment he made the suggestion to Qi Yuping's wife, she became less fond of Li Muchen.

"Are you going back to Jiangzhou City?" Li Muchen asked.

Qi Yu said, "I plan to leave today!"

Li Muchen smiled and said, "Then how about taking me along?"

Everyone looked on in astonishment. Take him along?

If I understand correctly...

"Your Majesty, what do you mean..." Qi Yu asked cautiously, tentatively.

"I am going on a secret mission!" Li Muchen said with a smile.

There was a deathly silence. Then the old eunuch who had led the way reacted, hurriedly knelt down, and began to admonish.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely forbidden! Lantian County is five thousand li away from here. If Your Majesty were to travel incognito, what would become of state affairs?"

Li Muchen waved his hand, then looked at Li Ming and Li Qing and said, "I'm entrusting the affairs of state to the two of you. Don't let me down."

Li Ming and Li Qing bowed and agreed, but didn't say anything more.

"What about His Majesty's safety? There might still be remnants of the Chang family lurking within the Great Yun Dynasty!" the eunuch said hurriedly.

Li Muchen smiled and said, "Marquis Guanyong will accompany me, so there's no need to worry about safety."

The eunuch wanted to say something more, but Li Muchen waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to discuss this anymore. I've already made my decision!"

No one tried to persuade him anymore; only Qi Yu, with a grim expression, could only weakly speak up.

"Um... Your Majesty, could you please not travel with me?"
