Bab 567: I'll Wait for You on the Mountain

Sangsang took the green pear and ate it with her head lowered. The pear was very sweet and mellow, with an odd texture to it. She was delighted as it felt like the pear had melted in her mouth.

Raising her head, she passed the remaining half to Ning Que. "Try this. It's very sweet."

The two were used to sharing good food since they were children. Ning Que didn't care about the taboo behind sharing pears, which implied separation. He took the portion of pear Sangsang offered and gulped it down.

Master Qishan didn't expect that the two would share an ordinary pear. He was surprised, but shook the feeling off and said, "Let's begin."

Sangsang chose the black chess pieces again.

The chessboard under the front canopy was made from an interesting material. It felt like cold iron and also looked like it. Yet, the chess pieces' made no sound when landing on it.

As Sangsang's hand let go of the chess piece, something odd happened.
