Chapter 1479: Chapter 827: Discuss the Matter with Him_2
His eyes instantly lit up.
“Big brother, you’re too smart. After I talked to you, I tried it, and I really wasn’t as nervous anymore.”
“If I hadn’t tried what you suggested, I’d still be here all tense. Thank you so much, big brother, you’re my god.”
“You really can teach me things. Third brother used to do the same, and so do you. You two are really too impressive.”
Baldy started sucking up again, but Ling Yu was observing whether his flattery was heartfelt.
Or if he was just putting on an act here.
Qin Yuan quietly observed without giving any reaction.
But as soon as he discovered that Baldy’s smile was genuine,
A satisfied smile finally appeared on Qin Yuan’s face; it seemed not to be feigned.
It was a genuine response, which pleased him greatly.
Though that’s what Qin Yuan thought, he didn’t show it outright.
Baldy curled up the corner of his lips, then quickly continued.
“What did I do to deserve learning from you guys? I truly feel it’s an immense honor!”
Ling Yu didn’t expect Baldy to suddenly compliment two people.
It seems Baldy has indeed smartened up, opting to cling to the coattails of those two instead of offending both.
Better to hold them in high esteem in his hands, as that’s the best strategy.
That way, he could receive even better assistance.
It’s an excellent situation, no doubt about it. Baldy really is quite impressive, and truly has come to that realization.
Just then, Crescent suddenly appeared, still holding something in her hand.
As soon as Baldy saw it, he noticed it was for playing, and different from the one before.
Wasn’t that the poison being brought out? It looked truly toxic at a glance.
Baldy had been planning to make his chess move, but upon seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but shiver.
Then he dared not make any noise, but felt he should stay calm.
He shouldn’t look at Crescent, let alone be influenced by her. If he were swayed by Crescent,
Then he wouldn’t be able to play chess or escape danger anymore. The best approach was to pretend he hadn’t seen anything,
And concentrate on the chess game to overcome this peril, which was the best tactic so far.
Thinking this, Baldy made his chess move with a composed face.
Qin Yuan did see Baldy’s expression, so he knew Crescent had appeared.
Yet his face showed no reaction; he didn’t even look at Crescent but went straight to playing chess with Baldy.
However, after a moment, Qin Yuan suddenly asked,
“Baldy, how long has it been since you last played chess?”
Upon hearing this, Baldy’s body instantly tensed up, seized by nervousness all over.
Could big brother have noticed he hadn’t played chess in a long time?
Would it be wrong to say it hadn’t been long? But then his lack of skill would be obvious, for big brother is very smart.
How could he not know? Then, should he admit the truth?
If he did, would big brother think he’s hopeless and unwilling to play chess with him?
Wouldn’t that mean missing out on a wonderful opportunity and becoming a target for Crescent?
Baldy felt guilty in his heart for a moment, then added a line.
“Just a few years.”
But it wasn’t a few years; it was more than a decade.
Qin Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly, as if he noticed something, then he added,
“That’s quite a long time.”
“Yeah, I’m a bit rusty,” Baldy replied, not daring to look up at Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan already knew everything clearly, but he didn’t press further, nor did he choose to expose the truth.
He just wanted to see whether Baldy would be honest or not. Since Baldy chose not to tell the truth,
There must be concerns, so there was no need to ask further. After all, knowing the truth was enough for him.
Whether Baldy admits it or not seems to have lost its importance.
At this moment, Crescent had already stopped beside Qin Yuan.
She just glanced down slightly at Qin Yuan.
“I have something I need to discuss with you.”
Now was the time to inform him about what had just happened. After all, he was the person involved; how could he not be told?
The most important thing is not to tell him for the time being, for fear that it may give the game away.
It was not easy to tell these things to my daughter, and if the secret were to come out, wouldn’t she be very angry?
It really isn’t permissible for that to happen, so what needs to be said must be said.
At that moment, a look of tension also appeared on Crescent Moon’s face.
After a moment, Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Can’t we talk here?”
After all, he was still playing chess here. If it’s possible to talk here, then let’s talk here.
If not, then let’s step aside for a bit, because he and Crescent Moon are on the same side, after all.
So, it’s necessary to be clear about whatever there is to be said and not to remain silent about everything.
It also requires a good deal of cooperation.
Crescent Moon shook her head.
“It’s not possible.”
Just this short response made Qin Yuan stand up slightly.
Crescent Moon, on the other hand, seemed somewhat surprised, a flash of astonishment crossing her face.
No way, he stood up that quickly? Didn’t we barely exchange a few words?
She initially thought he asked just because he wanted to say more, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.
It seems he really isn’t that hard to deal with, quite the opposite, he’s rather agreeable.
Indeed, if he weren’t easy to talk to, then they wouldn’t be cooperating, nor would they be on the same side.
So when she talks to him later, he probably won’t refuse.
Crescent Moon slowly speculated in her heart, a faint smile appearing on her face.
Before leaving, Qin Yuan still glanced at the bald guy.
“I owe you a game of chess, go ahead and play with them first, I’ll be back very soon.”
The bald guy glanced at the chessboard and couldn’t help but say.
“But we’ve only played half the game, why not finish the game before you go?”
Qin Yuan shook his head.
He didn’t say much, but his gaze was exceptionally resolute.
Seeing this, the bald guy didn’t say anything more, and eventually, he nodded in agreement.
Qin Yuan and Crescent Moon went to one side to whisper; it was unheard by the others.
Ling Yu was a bit puzzled.
Why did Crescent Moon come out and start whispering with him? What matter needs to be discussed in private, it must be about them if they need to consult privately.
It must be said that he’s quite curious now and wants to eavesdrop.
But that would be a bit unethical, and after all, this is their big brother.
If he really eavesdropped, that would be hard to justify, and it might cause a fallout between them.
Ling Yu remained rational and chose not to do so.
The bald guy now felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, fear flashing across his face.
Then he couldn’t help but look at Ling Yu.
“What do you think they’re going to discuss now? It wouldn’t be about me, would it?”
Ling Yu nodded seriously.
“Possibly.”
Without the need for words, that sentence truly managed to frighten the bald guy.
The bald guy couldn’t even sit still, ending up tumbling to the ground, looking extremely disheveled.
Black Bear, seeing this, quickly helped him up, whispering.
“Baldy, what are you doing? It’s just a few words, and you’re scared like this? Can’t you be a bit braver?”
“You never used to be like this. I can’t accept you being this way, even if you were a bit impulsive before.”
“But you weren’t this cowardly, so just calm down a bit, the truth of the matter is not yet known, no need to panic.”
The bald guy was beside himself with worry, his complexion growing increasingly unsightly.
He couldn’t even lift his head.
Nor did he look Black Bear in the eye.
Seeing this, Black Bear finally let out a slight sigh and started persuading again.
“Let them slowly discuss it. After they finish discussing, then you will know.”
