"Grandpa, don't bla Yang Yan. He's just been busy."
Zhou Hanyun smiled as she ca to Yang Yan's defense.
"Oh my! Girls tend to side with outsiders when they grow up, huh? She's already defending her little man."
"Alright, old man, I won't hold it against him. You two go on inside. Let have a mont alone with him."
Mr. Zhou said with a smile.
Upon hearing their grandpa's words, Zhou Hanyun and Zhou Hanyu exchanged a glance.
Then, Zhou Hanyun stood up and slowly walked away.
Miss Zhou Er made a funny face at Yang Yan and then left, satisfied.
"That girl, after all these years, still hasn't changed!"
Mr. Zhou laughed, his eyes filled with affection.
"Her? She's unlikely to change this lifeti."
Yang Yan chuckled, expressing so sentint.
"Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and bring the chess set over."
"It's been ages since we had a good ga. Let show you how much I've improved by practicing with those old fellows."
Mr. Zhou said eagerly.
"Huh? Isn't this a bit much?"
Hearing Mr. Zhou proposing chess, Yang Yan felt a headache coming on.
Of course, it wasn't because he feared losing face to Mr. Zhou, but because Mr. Zhou's sportsmanship was rather infuriating.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid I'll bully you?"
"How about I give you a rook? If that's not enough, I could throw in a horse and a cannon, just to give you a chance to taste what it's like to push the millstone."
Mr. Zhou said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
Over the years, he had been battling his fellow veterans regularly. The more he played, the more his confidence grew.
"Still not enough with a rook, horse, and cannon? Kid, do I have to call Hanyun and Hanyu to fetch you?"
Seeing Yang Yan still unmoved, Mr. Zhou was about to lose his temper.
"Okay, but first, no taking back moves. And no tantrums if you lose."
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Yang Yan reluctantly agreed with Mr. Zhou.
"Damn it, I put the cannon in the wrong place. I actually ant to move the rook."
Amidst Mr. Zhou's roars, Yang Yan could only look at Mr. Zhou helplessly.
There's no denying, Mr. Zhou was indeed very wise.
Of course, this referred to his other pursuits.
For example, entrusting the entire Zhou Clan to Zhou Hanyun was a pretty smart decision.
But when it ca to chess, that's sothing where innate talent matters a lot.
And it was evident that Mr. Zhou clearly lacked that talent.
"No, no, I won't capture that pawn. Isn't it fine if I don't?"
Just as Mr. Zhou was about to regret his move once again, Zhou Hanyun ca over.
She glanced at Yang Yan, then at her grandfather, and said:
"Grandpa, so guests have arrived. They want to see Yang Yan. How about I keep you company and play a couple of gas while Yang Yan ets the guests?"
Yang Yan was overjoyed hearing this.
Indeed, Zhou Hanyun understood him like no one else!
He would rather face those people listed on the Sealing Title Stele than endure a chess ga with Mr. Zhou, whose sportsmanship was unrivaled.
Finally escaping a ga with Mr. Zhou, Yang Yan saw the people who had co looking for him.
Two people ca.
But Yang Yan didn't recognize either of them.
"Who might you be?"
Yang Yan looked at the two, asking suspiciously.
"It's understandable that Moonlight wouldn't recognize small fry like us."
"Let introduce myself first. I'm Zhang Peng, and this is my brother Zhang Yu."
"The two of us were referred by soone else to seek your help."
An older man said with a smile.
"Sent by soone else?"
Hearing Zhang Peng's words, Yang Yan was even more puzzled.
"Yes! That person is nad Miller. He said we could strike a deal with you."
Zhang Peng said.
"Miller?"
Upon hearing their words, Yang Yan understood why they could find him.
Regarding Miller, Yang Yan still owed him a favor.
"It's like this: we have information about an Origin, and we'd like to make a deal with you."
Seeing Yang Yan's reaction, Zhang Peng imdiately knew there was hope and quickly spoke.
Yang Yan squinted his eyes and asked:
"Let's hear it."
"We're unsure what kind of Origin it is because our capabilities are too low."
"However, it shouldn't be a problem for soone like you."
"We hope to gain your protection temporarily so our adversaries won't trouble us."
Zhang Peng said, looking concerned at Yang Yan.
"Tell about the Origin first. If it's true, I'll accept the deal."
Yang Yan didn't care who these guys' enemies were.
But judging by their abilities, if they weren't already dealt with, their adversary couldn't be that powerful.
Plus, since Miller introduced them, they probably weren't terrible people.
So, the deal seed quite reasonable.
"The item is in Rhino Pool at Shun City, but there seems to be a Giant Flood Dragon inside."
"And that Giant Flood Dragon is very strong. We stand no chance against it. The thing you want is in the pool."
Zhang Peng explained.
"Alright, you two may leave!"
Yang Yan said as he stood up.
"What about our adversaries?"
Zhang Peng asked nervously.
If Yang Yan were to back out now, they would have no recourse against him.
But would Yang Yan be that kind of person?
"I'll have soone reach out. From now on, your enemies will leave you alone."
After speaking, Yang Yan headed directly toward Zhou Hanyun.
After he departed, Zhang Yu, the younger brother, began to speak.
"Bro, it seems like Moonlight doesn't really care about our matter!"
"Did we just give him the information for nothing?"
"You know, those guys outside are just waiting for us to show up!"
"Once we do, we aren't far from death."
"Don't worry, that's Lord Moonlight we're talking about. Since he said nothing would happen, it definitely won't."
With things as they were, Zhang Peng bit his teeth and said.
Soon after they left the villa, a group of people surrounded them.
"Haha, Zhang Peng, Zhang Yu, keep running! Can't escape this ti, huh?"
A young man dressed fashionably stepped out, speaking smugly.
"Don't push us too far,"
Zhang Peng said through clenched teeth as he gazed at the youth in front of him.
"Haha! I'm pushing. What can you do? Bite ?"
"Let tell you, that chick you saved last ti, I still ended up having her."
"Not only , I let my subordinates have her too."
The man boasted arrogantly.
