The Legend of the Moon Goddess
46. Secrets to a Challenge

"Grandfather did it out of suspicion." This man squinted.

"Suspect?"

"That's right. Not suspicious of Yue'er, but suspicious of the ruling family up there." he pointed to the sky.

Although Shangguan Yutian pointed towards the sky, Shangguan Yue clearly knew the intent of the grandfather.

"Has grandfather ... always distrusted the Imperial Family...?" shangguan Yue asked bluntly.

Laugh out loud, "hahahahaha!!! Yue! How do you think...? Does Grandpa look loyal to the Emperor?" shangguan Yutian asked with a cold glint on his face.

Tilting her lips, "huh! I don't think Grandfather trusted them, let alone being loyal to the Emperor. Isn't it?" cynical Shangguan Yue.

"..."

There is no definitive answer from this man. Shangguan Yutian simply smiled as he sat down. He then took out a wooden board and dozens of black-and-white flat stones that were nothing but chess pieces from his spatial ring.

"Yue'er, sit ... Let Grandpa see, how your nature and your current game ... Have you ever played chess?" the grandfather asked, taking one of the black stones.

Smiling faintly, "I've been playing, but lately I've rarely played it.." replied Shangguan Yue.

"According to people ... Playing chess has something in common with how we overcome life's obstacles..."

"Long life will not always be smooth. Each choice is determined when playing chess, showing how their true nature is ... Is it aggressive? Calm down? Cunningly? Have ambitions? Doubt it? Or careless? What about you, Yue'er...?"

Nah!

Shangguan Yutian placed the black stone right between the center and the left corner. It was a good choice, only it was too prominent for Shangguan Yue.

Grunting, "Let Yue'er guess, is Grandpa an ambitious person? Take one step with a large territorial income ... This is how ambitious people play...!"

Nah!

Shangguan Yue placed the white stone right in front of Shangguan Yutian's black pawn. It was obvious that this girl was challenging her grandfather.

"But, Grandpa ... I don't really like people like me, so let me block your fake steps this time..." Shangguan Yue smiled gently.

Little chuckles, "look how Yue'er played ... It seems like the assassins last night have been your goal since you first came home." Shangguan Yutian said with a faint smile.

"But, that's also the reason Grandpa ordered the servants to spy on me, isn't it?" reply Shangguan Yue flat.

"Well .. actually they want to help you ... It's just, I heard you killed those murderers sadistically," said the grandfather shaking his head.

Shaking his shoulders, "quick death let alone without torture, they were lucky to die in my hands." replied Shangguan Yue grinning.

Sighs a long breath, "huh ... That is why, until now they are still afraid of you. Even Grandpa had seen, the servants immediately stepped aside as you went towards the kitchen." said Shangguan Yutian as he placed another piece on the chessboard.

"Seeing their frightened faces somehow made me want to laugh..." Shangguan Yutian shook his head reluctantly while chuckling.

"By the way Yue'er ... Grandpa knows you've had quite a lot of intelligence since childhood. Childhood needn't be cared about, it's not your fault entirely..."

Staring flat, "but still it was my recklessness, Grandpa ... I can't turn back the clock, but all the people who were involved in the murder 8 years ago have to disappear from this world..." He clenched his hands so that the white piece was smashed like dust.

Squinting her eyes, "that's your ambition. But Grandpa see, telling the facts 8 years ago let alone in its entirety, is not on your list of plans, is it Yue'er?"

Shangguan Yue clicked his tongue, "want how else, father's kindness has destroyed the wall I have made..."

Laughs softly, "it's not your father's kindness...! Rather it was in Yue'er's own heart. You can't afford to lie to your parents! Your heart filled with thorny roses still has a gap of kindness." said Shangguan Yutian stopped the actions of the grandson who wanted to take another piece.

Throwing into the container a little rough, "I'm good or not, I don't care Grandpa ... And again, if you know my heart can turn into a thorny rose, why still let me be the rightful successor?!" said Shangguan Yue slightly irritated.

Frowning, "Grandfather. What do you mean can't answer

Shake hands, "already! youyouyouhaveyou. Yue'er, guess the reason why Grandpa gave you that position since childhood and did not take that position off when Grandpa found out that you have a heart demon ... How's it?"

Snorting, "so Grandpa asked Yue Yue to guess...?"

Nodding, "just right..."

Sticking on his face lazily, "grandfather, don't you just want to make me bother?"

Laughing loosely, "so Yue'er found it troublesome? But ... does Yue'er say, this challenge comes without a reward...?" Shangguan Yutian smiled widely until his eyes turned narrow.

Sit back, "so I mean Grandpa..."

"Cosmos-level blue Goose cavalry, how about that? Is Yue'er interested...?" asked Shangguan Yutian.

Blue goose cavalry let alone the level of the cosmos...?

"Is Grandpa joking? If this challenge can Grandpa grasp the truth, then ... Yue Yue thinks our family is too rich!" said Shangguan Yue silently chuckling cynically.

'This is the main purpose of Grandpa coming to me. Turn secrets into challenges? Quite interesting, inner Shangguan Yue smiled coldly.

"Grandfather is not kidding, Yue'er. Grandfather is serious about this." replied Shangguan Yutian.

Taking his face back, "Grandfather, leave aside regarding the Cavalry challenge. Didn't ... You have important things to tell me...?" shangguan Yue asked with a cold glint.

At first glance the man stiffened, but before long he only let out a heavy sigh, "what do you mean, Yue'er? Grandpa doesn't understand..." Shangguan Yutian shook his head slowly.

He got up from his chair and began to turn his back on his grandson, "then, Yue'er ... Grandpa go first. Grandfather must investigate who the Great Lord is..."

Taps.

Taps.

Taps.

"..."

Pulling the corner of the lips, "hah .. earlier I heard something interesting, Grandfather.." said Shangguan Yue stopped Shangguan Yutian's steps.

"I heard that Uncle had said: 'Big Master' and 'them again'. According to Grandpa, what does that mean...?" It squinted.

"What do you want to say, Yue'er?" shangguan Yutian asked, getting serious.

Little chuckles, "simple. Grandpa doesn't have to cover it up anymore."

"..." - ".Shangguan Yutian just kept silent waiting for the meaning of the words of the granddaughter.

"Searching for information on who is the Great Lord? Isn't that pretty useless to grandfather? Moreover, Grandfather was a patriarch of the Shangguan Family, the leader of the second strongest Family after the Emperor family in this Wei Empire."

"Huh ... Then, are you able to conclude that Grandfather knew of the Great Lord just because Grandfather was a Patriarch?" asked back Shangguan Yutian frowned.

Shangguan Yue's eyes glowed slightly, "Grandfather ... You can't be in this position without information. And again, being a puppet of the enemies was not a custom of the Shangguan Family. We are sword users from the sky and have the ambition to kill the sky." said Shangguan Yue arrogantly making the grandfather turn to look at him.
