Chapter 1675: Chapter 1761: Reduced to Tragedy
Regarding the game of Go, Su Xuan hadn’t really studied it much, so he didn’t even know the rules, let alone play it with others.
"It seems that this is designed as a very intricate mechanism technique. I estimate that if we lose a piece, the mechanisms around will move one step closer. This must have been set in advance!"
At this moment, Xuan’er hurriedly explained. After Xuan’er finished speaking, Su Xuan’s face twitched as he looked at Xuan’er, weakly asking.
"Do you know how to play? Or maybe you should try. I really don’t know this stuff!"
For Su Xuan right now, it was really enough to make him want to cry. Why was it such a mess of a situation? You could have chosen anything else, why play the one thing I am worst at?
"I’m not good at it either. I’ve never played Go!"
At this moment, Xuan’er also didn’t know what to do. Many people aren’t willing to study Go because it’s too deep and complicated.
"Random playing is definitely not going to work!"
Su Xuan absolutely believed this. It’s not like a TV drama where one can randomly place a piece like Xu Zhu in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and win—it’s actually impossible. After all, in the Late Period, Xu Zhu had Prince Yanqing’s help to overcome the challenges.
Right now, there’s no one to help him. Even if the first piece is placed correctly, it can’t continue!
"What should we do then!"
At this moment, they were already trapped in the game pieces. Su Xuan let out a breath with a bitter smile.
It really validated that saying: the earth is the board, people are the pieces. We’re now actually within this game, and if we can’t break this game, we’ll just become tragedies!
Su Xuan said this as he found a stone to sit on, feeling very distressed, he said.
"I say your ancestor was really bored, didn’t he? He could have designed any test, why specifically make it such a melodramatic game of Go? I don’t understand this!"
"I’m sorry, Big Brother Su, I made you go through this!"
Looking at Su Xuan, in that moment, Xuan’er really felt very apologetic. To him, it seemed like he was the one who dragged Su Xuan into this, he was just an unlucky person.
"Uh... don’t take it too much to heart. I was just saying it casually!"
Su Xuan said awkwardly, thinking that wasn’t really his intention; don’t misunderstand.
"Big Brother Su, you really shouldn’t have saved me!"
Looking at Su Xuan, in that instant, Xuan’er felt very guilty. He knew that Su Xuan had been very worried these days about external affairs. If not for his own reasons, Su Xuan wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.
"Don’t talk like that anymore, it’s pointless!"
Su Xuan said leisurely, feeling bored and not knowing how to break the game, he simply took out his phone. The phone had been fully charged with a power bank back at Dragon Gate Inn, but here there was definitely no signal.
Su Xuan flipped through the photos saved on his phone, photos of girlfriends, thinking to himself that if he really gets trapped here this time, he will have let too many people down.
"Big Brother Su, is Sister Mengxue’s condition under control?"
"Yes, fortunately, the antidote was sent back timely!"
This moment, Su Xuan just happened to see a photo of Xue Mengxue, her slightly sickly appearance was really causing an endless attachment in Su Xuan’s heart.
"Did you find the Gu Emperor?"
Looking at Su Xuan, at that moment Xue Mengxue asked again. In reality, although Su Xuan didn’t ask why he came here, he knew somewhat that it should be to find her.
Back then, after she awakened, a Gu poison tide appeared, which caused her to leave Su Xuan for the desert, so the news of the Saintess being in the desert is known to many.
"Found!"
Su Xuan sighed helplessly, then looked at this girl. When Su Xuan knew this girl was the Saintess, his heart was filled with countless complex emotions. Su Xuan absolutely believed that if he asked for help, she would help, but it was indeed rather cruel.
"Big Brother Su, if we can get out this time, I promise to help you save people!"
His eyes were filled with determination, as if he had made a monumental decision. Although Xuan’er wasn’t very old, he naturally knew that if he were to merge with the Gu Emperor, he would never be able to marry and would live alone for his entire life. It’s like Xiaozhao in Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, seeing the person she likes but unable to be together; it’s really quite cruel.
"Is there no other way?"
Su Xuan looked at this full-of-life eighteen-year-old girl, feeling very oppressed. Of course, Su Xuan was no fool; he naturally could sense Xuan’er’s affection towards him.
"To lift the Love Gu, this is the only way. The Love Gu must have the Gu Emperor, and once you merge with the Gu Emperor, there’s no turning back. Big Brother Su, it’s actually nothing. If we can get out, that would be the best ending for me. My father is now dead, the toxic family can’t end like this in this generation; I must take on this responsibility, carry out this mission, and rebuild the toxic family."
In an instant, Xuan’er’s voice was filled with unprecedented determination, not only because of Su Xuan but also because of his own father.
The toxic family was almost completely wiped out because of Japan’s interference. If he can’t shoulder the burden of rebuilding the toxic family, it will be completely buried under him.
So, no matter what, he must help his father fulfill this wish at Wan City, and only by merging with the Gu Emperor can he possess the ability to control the Gu poison in the world. As long as he can control the world’s Gu poison, his power will naturally strengthen, allowing him to recruit talent and rebuild the toxic family.
"Xuan’er..."
Looking at Xuan’er, Su Xuan for a moment didn’t know what to say, and he felt a great sense of guilt. Although it seemed like Xuan’er wasn’t entirely doing it because of him, he knew eighty percent of the reason was indeed him.
"Big Brother Su, you should be happy for me. Actually, our greatest wish as a Saintess is to merge with the Gu Emperor!"
Xuan’er said with tears streaming down, Su Xuan, looking at Xuan’er, indeed felt guilty, gently embracing her. If they can get out, this eighteen-year-old flower of youth would never marry, which was so cruel.
