Chapter 333 Liang Zhu (4)
The student was still somewhat incredulous when he saw Wangyou leave after saying just a few casual words, but then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wangyou walk past without even glancing at him.
Wangyou squeezed in to watch Ma Wencai and Xie Daoyun play chess. The two seemed to be evenly matched. Wangyou looked at the game and couldn't help but smile. The way they played chess was very similar to his own personality.
"Wangyou, who do you think will win?" Xie Daoyun asked with a smile as she saw Wangyou wake up and come to watch the fun.
"Of course it's my older sister, but in a few years, she might not be able to beat him." Wangyou's assessment was quite apt.
"Indeed, a hero of troubled times, he truly deserves the title." The game ended with Xie Daoyun winning by a small margin.
"Master, you flatter me."
"Forget-Me-Not, wanna play a game?"
"Sure, it's been a long time since I played chess with my sister." Wangyou sat down with a smile, and everyone continued to watch to see who would be better between the two siblings.
As each piece was placed, the atmosphere on the field grew quieter and quieter. Xie Daoyun slowed down her moves, while the others pondered how to win.
Wangyou's chess moves are truly unpredictable. Moreover, she can basically control the entire board without losing a single piece. Now, most of the board is occupied by Wangyou's black pieces, with only a small number of white pieces stubbornly putting up a fight.
As Ma Wencai observed the game, he pondered that perhaps sometimes wars don't require such heavy sacrifices. Others were also considering how they would break the deadlock if faced with a similar situation in the future.
"I lost. Your chess skills have improved again."
"Sister, you flatter me," said the Forget-Worry Thief proudly.
Afterwards, Xie Daoyun called over a few more people to play chess, but Wangyou didn't watch anymore.
"If a war breaks out and the enemy has a large and powerful force but cannot break through after a long siege, then some of them will have to be sacrificed to break the deadlock. What is the solution?" Ma Wencai chased after him and asked.
"I'll drug them. Let me tell you, the poison I make is incredibly potent. If you need it, I can sell it to you for half price," Wangyou said with a grin.
"Then how can we ensure that the poison doesn't affect our own people?"
"That depends on the skill of the person using the poison. For example, if I were to poison you now, you wouldn't notice and I would be fine. But if the use of poison is not handled properly, it can easily harm both the user and others."
"If I become a general in the future, how about you become my strategist?"
"Then we'll see how sincere you are." Wangyou went straight to the back mountain of the academy, and Ma Wencai followed.
"Why are you following me? I'm going to eat."
"I'll go as well."
Aren't you going to the cafeteria?
“I think Qingzhu’s cooking is delicious. Compared to what the cafeteria makes, it’s like pig swill. I can’t eat it. Can I pay for my meals?” Ma Wencai said with a smile.
"Alright, let's hurry up and go, I'm starving." The two quickly arrived near a bamboo forest, where Qingzhu's lunch was almost ready.
The two finished their lunch happily, and Wangyou packed another portion for Xie Daoyun before heading down the mountain.
"Where did you go?"
"Sister, I've gone to ask Qingzhu to make something to eat. This is for you." Wangyou placed the food box on the table in a flattering manner.
"I knew you wouldn't forget your sister, Xie Daoyun. I haven't eaten yet." Xie Daoyun smiled as she opened the food box, which contained all the dishes she loved.
It's not that the cafeteria is bad, it's just that over the years, this younger sister has spoiled my palate with all sorts of food she's come up with.
“Sister, you know, the world could fall into chaos any time now. I don’t know if Father will back down or not.” Wangyou rested her chin on one hand and played with a piece of jade in the other.
“Uncle cannot back down at this time. He is the Prime Minister and has his own responsibilities. If that day ever comes, my sister will also take up her sword and go to the battlefield,” Xie Daoyun said firmly.
"Then do I have to go too? I don't want to fight and kill."
“In chaotic times, people are often powerless to do as they please. But it’s okay if you don’t like it. You have the ability to protect yourself anyway. You’re the youngest in our family, so it’s not your turn to go to the battlefield.” Xie Daoyun smiled and patted Wangyou’s little head.
"If you, Father, and my two older brothers all go, I'll be so bored at home all by myself. I'll bring my poison with me to help you out." Wangyou's eyes lit up, as if she couldn't wait to test the medicine.
"Do whatever makes you happy then. No matter what, the Xie family will protect you." The Xie family dotes on their youngest sister and will never let anything happen to her.
"Sister, I know." Wangyou shook her head, not wanting to think about these things anymore. "Sister, I want to take a bath. Can I borrow your room?"
"Okay, no problem."
Finally, she no longer had to sneak around taking a shower. Wangyou carefully washed herself before returning to her dormitory.
Upon smelling the stronger fragrance than usual, Ma Wencai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where have you been? You smell so good. If you weren't so fierce when you beat people up, I would have thought you were a girl."
Wangyou rolled her eyes at Ma Wencai. "What can I do? It's natural. It's just that the fragrance is more pronounced right after a bath."
"Then your future wife will feel inferior!" Ma Wencai looked at the man's beautiful face and natural fragrance; any woman would feel inferior.
"Who knows? I'm still young, I don't think about that. But you're still reading so late."
"I came to the academy for the ranking list, and if I, Ma Wencai, am going to do it, I'm going to be number one." Ma Wencai's eyes were full of confidence.
"Then good luck." Wangyou didn't need it, so she didn't care about it. She'd rather eat something good and get some sleep.
"You're going to have a career in government anyway, so stop doing nothing but eating and sleeping all day. Come and read a book." Ma Wencai felt a little resentful when he saw Wangyou getting ready to sleep right away.
"I'm not pursuing a career in government. Don't drag me into your all-night study sessions. My family doesn't need me to uphold their reputation. I have an older brother and a nephew. We don't need me." Wangyou clung tightly to her bed, refusing to let go no matter what Ma Wencai said.
"Are you sure you don't need it?"
"No need, I'm just out having fun. If I need to study, any one of my family members is better than the teachers at Nishan Academy." Seeing that Ma Wencai was softening, Wangyou quickly went to bed.
"I'm asleep, you go study now." With that, Wangyou closed her eyes and completely ignored Ma Wencai.
Seeing this, Ma Wencai could only study hard by himself, after all, his purpose in coming here was to rank himself.
When Nishan Academy first opened, there were all sorts of cliques and bullying, but it seems that ever since Wangyou scared Wang Lantian so much that he lost control of his bladder, everyone else has become much more well-behaved.
Some people wanted to curry favor with Ma Wencai, but Ma Wencai didn't respond, so they didn't dare to openly use Ma Wencai's name to bully others.
Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo gave Wangyou a strange feeling, because they always seemed to encounter strange things, as if the world revolved around them.
