I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 897

Chapter 897: Chapter 335: Imperial Treatment! Miracles Through Strength!

"Why is he here?"

Qi Chengze glanced at Chen Mo, his expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Old man, I knew your sudden summons wouldn’t be for anything good... Alright, if I can’t provoke you, I can certainly avoid you, can’t I?"

With that, he was about to get up and leave.

"Look at you, so impatient."

"Let me make it clear, I didn’t know he would be coming today."

Ling Yishan said lightly, "But if you think about it, you still owe him a favor."

Qi Chengze paused mid-step.

He could naturally understand the underlying implication.

Before the Crown Prince and the Empress went to the temple for a ritual, he used the Heavenly Observation Mirror to uncover the Heavenly Secret and concluded it would be ’very auspicious.’

But shortly after, an explosion occurred, causing heavy casualties among the Imperial Army and court ministers, and the Crown Prince almost perished on the Jiulong Platform.

The Heavenly Observation Mirror couldn’t be wrong; the only explanation was that he, as the Director, deliberately concealed the Heavenly Secret, falsely reporting auspiciousness which led the Crown Prince into danger!

If it weren’t for Chen Mo’s intervention, a major disaster might have occurred!

Taking it seriously, it wouldn’t be too much to punish even Chu Heng as a co-conspirator!

But ultimately, this fact was too disgraceful, and the Eastern Royal Palace only wanted to quickly settle the matter; who knows how many ministers would be implicated otherwise.

Qi Chengze frowned deeply, hesitated for a moment, and then sat back down.

"I’ve figured it out. You planned to trap me from the start!" Qi Chengze sighed helplessly, "At our age, there’s not much to aim for other than a peaceful end, but you must create such a big mess for me..."

"Whether it’s trouble or opportunity, it’s still hard to say." Ling Yishan said with a smile, "Under a toppled nest, no egg is intact; you might not care, but do you not worry about the safety of other members of the Qi Family?"

Qi Chengze fell into silence upon hearing this.

Listening beside them, Chen Mo was puzzled, and Ling Ningzhi was also confused, not understanding what the two were discussing.

Ling Yishan stood up, pulling Chen Mo to sit down, and said, "Come, play a couple of games with Director Qi and let’s see if your chaotic fists can defeat the ’First Chess Sage of Great Yuan.’"

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "But I really do not know how to play chess..."

"Regardless of a loss, there’s no harm; winning would be a great gain. If he isn’t afraid, why should you be?" Ling Yishan said.

Chen Mo: "..."

Qi Chengze gave Ling Yishan a look, understanding what the old man was up to, and waved his hand, "Forget it, it’s just a spar, no need to be tense, winning or losing doesn’t matter."

"Okay."

The conversation had reached this point, so Chen Mo could not refuse further. He was about to pack up the remnants on the table, but was stopped by Qi Chengze.

"Let’s continue with what we have."

"Continue?"

Chen Mo was slightly taken aback.

Although his chess skills were indeed ordinary, he could see that the situation was already one-sided, with the black pieces seemingly having no chance of turning the game.

However, given Qi Chengze’s status, it was unlikely he’d intentionally make things difficult for a junior like him, so this must have a deeper meaning.
