"Hahahaha——"
Li Yue suddenly burst out laughing, his eyes shining with a mocking light, "Brother Chen, you think too highly of yourself. Granted, you are strong, but, in my game of chess, you're not the king. It appears I've lost this game to Senior Brother Liang.
Unfortunately, Brother Liang must have paid a high price to break my game, didn't he?"
As he spoke, his gaze squarely rested on Guan Le, whose Spiritual Might had become stable.
Chen Dengming's eyebrows furrowed as a speculation suddenly sprung up in his heart, his eyes becoming serious.
Opposite him, Guan Le's eyes darkened slightly, his voice becoming somewhat older and inflected with regret, he said,
"Junior Brother Li, you play your cards close to your chest and possess formidable strength. In fact, both Sect Leader Qiu and I had considered you as a candidate for the future Sect Leader and trained you accordingly.
Unfortunately, your every move and calculation were keenly perceived.
