Mo Tianji was making swift preparations, and Diwu Qingrou was actively organizing. The two great strategists of the world had already begun their performance.
Meanwhile, the other person who was qualified to rival Diwu Qingrou, Chu King of Hell, was enjoying his days leisurely, with nothing to do and quite content.
Everyone believed that Chu Yang would definitely participate in the battle, and even Diwu Qingrou was prepared to take on two opponents. However, the truth was that Chu Yang was not participating at all.
Instead, he was spending his time leisurely with Mo Qingwu, Dong Wushang, and two others, merely observing coldly aside except for practicing.
“Chu Yang, my second brother is in a battle of wits and courage with Diwu Qingrou, but it seems you have already withdrawn from this fight? Are you merely existing as a spectator or a trump card?”
In a huge cave.
Mo Qingwu lifted her head slightly, looking at Chu Yang and asked, “Why is that? If your strategy combined with my second brother's wisdom, wouldn't you have a sure win against Diwu Qingrou?”
Chu Yang looked at Mo Qingwu with some surprise. He could sense that her intelligence was rapidly growing, and now she had her own judgments regarding the situation.
This was something the previous Mo Qingwu would never have been able to articulate.
“Yes, this time it’s a tacit understanding between me and Tianji. I can only strike at the right moment, but I won’t interfere or command. All decisions this time belong to Tianji.”
“This is his battle with Diwu Qingrou! It’s also something Tianji has long desired; moreover, this kind of confrontation might be the only chance he has in his lifetime!”
“So he won’t allow me to intervene!”
Chu Yang said slowly, weighing his words.
Mo Qingwu nodded: “I see.”
“Actually, there are some things you still don’t understand. This war was demanded by Tianji himself, and it’s something I hope to see.” Chu Yang smiled and said, “If Tianji can win this battle, then from now on, no one in the world will be a match for Mo Tianji in terms of strategy!”
Mo Qingwu’s eyes widened in surprise: “This battle is you training your brother?”
“Training?” Chu Yang chuckled, “If that’s the case, it’s indeed… very appropriate!”
Mo Qingwu responded affirmatively.
After the four of them left that place, they headed straight here, which was very close to the Li family. Moreover, this mountain was tall enough, and most importantly, it was unshakeable!
Using the sharpness of the Nine Calamity Sword, Chu Yang took some effort to carve out such a large cave for the four to reside in. Inside the cave, there was a suite, and a winding passageway that looked like it was carved forcefully by Mo Lei Er, forcing Dong Wushang to use a big knife. It was filled with Dong Wushang's rugged style.
After turning a couple of corners, they arrived at another large space, which was a bedroom.
That was where Dong Wushang and Mo Lei Er stayed.
In the opposite direction, there was also a passage that led to where Chu Yang and Mo Qingwu resided.
Now that Dong Wushang and Mo Lei Er had gone to rest, only Chu Yang and Mo Qingwu remained. Two night pearls embedded in the stone above filled the stone chamber with a hazy milky white glow.
Mo Qingwu lay quietly in Chu Yang’s embrace.
After a long while, she suddenly asked, “Chu Yang, you said there are some things you want to tell me, what are those things?”
Chu Yang took a deep breath and said, “Yes, there are indeed some things. However…”
He thought for a moment and finally decided that it was better to explain things clearly to Mo Qingwu now while there was time; if Mo Qingwu suddenly ceased to have any doubts about that dream and confirmed something, he worried he would lose her once again.
Moreover, since the matter with Tie Butian was settled, he never intended to hide anything from Mo Qingwu.
“It’s about my emotional issues,” Chu Yang spoke with difficulty. “There is another woman who likes me a lot, and…”
