And just like that, the two began to face off.

But at the very beginning, Mei Wanli felt that something was wrong.

Generally speaking, all the people who came to the competition before, but those who dared to come in, were not idle people, and they had some attainments in chess, of course, this Murong Wan'er was no exception.

However, Mei Wanli has never read this Murong Wan'er's heart.

Therefore, since the beginning of playing chess, Mei Wanli has been using his own strength to fight against this child who is still a yellow-haired girl in his opinion, although Mei Wanli also has superb chess skills, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation, in this way, more or less emotional influence, naturally also affected his own play, so, every step Mei Wanli takes, is thoughtful, but restless, looking ahead.

On the contrary, Wan'er is extremely relaxed.

Because Wan'er knew that her heart couldn't be read by Mei Wanli, so she had entered the battle situation, and Wan'er had a normal mentality, so that she was naturally comfortable without psychological pressure.

On the chessboard, Mei Wanli's speed is getting slower and slower.

At this moment, Mei Wanli has really messed up the formation.

I've been here for hundreds of years, and I've never been so overwhelmed.

Although over the years, there have been one or two people who have won against themselves, but Mei Wanli knows that these people are people with superb mana, good at hiding their minds, and when dueling with them, Mei Wanli tries to read the hearts of these people, but the map he sees is blurry and messy, so sometimes it is difficult to judge, and all of them lose the game.

But this time, when Mei Wanli read Miss Wan'er's heart, what she saw was not a map that was clearly visible like a normal person, nor a vague and messy map like those hidden masters, but a blank sheet of paper with nothing.

What's going on? Doesn't this girl have a heart?

However, standing in front of him was indeed a girl of flesh and blood.

What the hell is going on? Mei Wanli, who has experienced a hundred battles, actually felt a kind of helplessness at this time.

"Girl, where are you from?" Mei Wanli really couldn't help it, he had to figure it out.

"I'm from Lingyun Peak. ”

"And what are your parents' names?"

"I don't have parents. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"That's right, I was an orphan back then, and Master raised me. ”

Orphans: How can an orphan who has no one want such mana?

Mei Wanli really didn't have the heart to play chess at this time.

Wan'er also saw this.

She knew that this Mei Wanli really couldn't read his own heart, he must be upset because he couldn't overcome himself.

At this moment, the chessboard in the sky suddenly disappeared.

Mei Wanli didn't have the heart to play chess, he put away the chessboard and continued to ask: "Girl, are you in the same group as those people a few days ago?"

Wan'er nodded.

"Who the hell are you? No, who are you?"

"We are all from Lingyun Mountain. ”

"But," Mei Wanli wanted to speak, but stopped.

Seeing that Mei Wanli was tempted, Wan'er thought that this was a good opportunity to persuade him, so she said sincerely: "Don't hide it from you, I am indeed a little different from a few of them, when I was young, there was a monk who came to my house, and he said that he could read everyone's minds, even the thoughts of the master who has always been superb in mana were guessed by him, but he didn't guess my thoughts. ”

"yes, I can't see your mind. Mei Wanli said with a sigh.

"Senior Mei Wanli, these are not important, the important thing is that we really ask for you. The lotus of the Zhong family does not know what the reason is suddenly withered, in this way, other people are eyeing each other, for so many years, they have been coveting the lotus of the Zhong family and the Zhuang family, at this time they will be even more unbearable, so, we specially come to ask you to save the Zhong family and the Zhuang family, save the lotus. ”

"Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen, as well as the dumb-headed Zhuang Zhongren, said such things, I am naturally not surprised at all, after all, it is my own business, but you are a person with a foreign surname, why do you remember the affairs of the Zhong family and the Zhuang family so much. ”

Mei Wanli's words made Wan'er not know how to respond.

"Could it be that you are paving the way for your wealthy daughter-in-law?" Mei Wanli's voice came from the air again, with a slight contempt in his tone.

"No, it's not. Mei Wanli senior, I do this, naturally I have my reasons, but please forgive me for not being able to tell me. Wan'er said with a red face.

In fact, when Mei Wanli saw Wan'er's appearance, she knew that this was a girl who came out of the mud and was not stained, and she was definitely not a scheming person.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't force it. Since you have won me, then I will fulfill my promise and go to Lingyun Mountain with you. ”

"Really?" Wan'er couldn't believe her ears for a moment.

I didn't expect that I really did it, but I didn't expect that happiness was really not far away.

However, Wan'er, who was still smiling at this time, would never have thought that all this was the beginning of the nightmare.

The people waiting outside the cave were all preoccupied.

Everyone was worried about Wan'er's comfort, even Zhuang Zhongren, who had always been heartless, was also worried.

Of course, in addition to worrying, I still hope that Wan'er can really defeat Mei Wanli.

Zhong Shen is looking forward to Wan'er winning, because as long as Wan'er wins, his family's lotus will be saved, his aging parents can really take care of themselves, and he and his brother and sister can live well.

Zhong Jin is looking forward to Wan'er winning, because as long as Wan'er wins, her marriage is a certainty, all along, her parents' impression of Wan'er is good, if it weren't for the sudden withering of the lotus, I'm afraid Wan'er would have been his wife at this time, if Wan'er can return this time, she will become the benefactor of the entire Zhong family, so her dream will really not be far away.

Murong Feng looked forward to Wan'er winning, because only Wan'er won, and he could be regarded as having completed the task assigned by the master, so that the master might not have other requirements for himself, and when the time came, he could propose to the master the idea of marrying Wan'er as his wife, and at this time, the master must have no reason to object. Even if the master objected, Murong Feng thought about it, he wanted to be like Jie'er, take Wan'er, go to a foreign country, go to a place where no one knows them, and stay together in peace and happiness.

All people look forward to the good and have such and such expectations for life, but how can everything in the world fulfill people's wishes.

There is only one Wan'er, so these beautiful or selfish wishes are destined not to be fulfilled in everything.

When everyone was immersed in anticipation, the stone spun again.

Everyone held their breath and waited for the person behind the door.

As expected, Wan'er came out, followed by Mei Wanli.

Everyone was amazed, Wan'er really did it, Wan'er really won.

However, what surprised everyone even more was that Mei Wanli, who was following Wan'er, turned out to be like this.

For a long time, whether it is from the rumors or the voice of Mei Wanli heard during personal experience, everyone thinks that Mei Wanli is an old man, but what they never expected is that this Mei Wanli is actually an old woman.

I saw Wan'er smiling and supporting Mei Wanli, and walked in front of everyone step by step.

"This is Granny Mei Wanli. Wan'er introduced.

"Mother-in-law, how come?" asked all of them in unison.

Mei Wanli smiled but did not speak.

Murong Wan'er told everyone the whole story.

It turned out that just now, when Mei Wanli promised that she would follow her back to Lingyun Mountain, Wan'er waited in place with curiosity.

As a result, it was not an old man who came out, but an old woman.

"Why, so you are," Wan'er was speechless for a moment.

"Haha, you must all think I'm a weird old man. The mother-in-law in front of her spoke.

This time, this voice is a woman's voice, maybe this is Mei Wanli's real voice.

The mother-in-law in front of her, if she didn't know some rumors about her, if she hadn't played chess with her in person, she really looked like a kind grandmother next door, with wrinkles on her face, all traces of time, and her weather-beaten face told you that she was a person with a story.

"But, mother-in-law, why do you pretend to be an old man?" asked Wan'er, puzzled.

"Everyone has their own secrets. Everyone lives with a mask, and just as you were so secretive about my problems just now, I also have the reason why I don't want to talk to others. Mei Wanli said with a smile.

Wan'er lowered her head in embarrassment.

Immediately after, Mei Wanli continued: "You must think that I am a psychopath and a person who behaves strangely, right?"

"No, it's just, it's just that it might be a little serious," Wan'er replied cautiously.

"Hahaha," Meemari actually laughed.

"You girl, you really like me so much. Mei Wanli said lovingly.

And just like that, the two of them walked out together.

Wan'er returned to the real world that belonged to her at the beginning, although it was beautiful, and although this Mei Wanli seemed to love her like a grandmother's heartache and granddaughter, the outside world was where her heart was.

Just because of the sentence: "Wait for me"

So, this group of people returned to Lingyun Mountain.

When I arrived at the gate of Zhong's house, I saw a mess.

The domineering red gate of the past is now ruined and scarred.

"What's going on?" Zhong Jin felt bad and hurriedly walked in.

Originally, Murong Feng and Murong Wan'er had no intention of returning to the Zhong family at that time, because the task of their trip was to ask Mei Wanli to come back, but now that the goal has been achieved, there is no reason for the two of them to go to the Zhong family again.

However, Zhong Shen saw through the thoughts of the two people, so he pleaded: "Brother Murong, I know that you didn't want to interfere in our family affairs, but now you have helped us invite Mei Wanli here, which already makes us grateful, and I know that I have no excuse to trouble you anymore." However, now, it seems that my family has really been violated by those outsiders, and I only hope that Brother Murong can help us again. ”

Looking at Zhong Shen's pleading appearance, Murong Feng couldn't bear it. He knew that this Zhong Shen was really a kind person, different from his brother Zhong Jin, and all along, Zhong Shen had great respect for himself, and in Murong Feng's heart, he also regarded Zhong Shen as his younger brother.

However, Murong Feng was really unwilling to get involved in the matter of getting involved with the Zhong family. Ever since the incident happened, Murong Feng really wanted to have nothing to do with the entire Zhong family.

At this time, Murong Wan'er spoke: "Feng'er, help others to the end, besides, Brother Zhong Shen has always taken good care of us, and now that people are in trouble, we shouldn't stand idly by." ”

Murong Feng originally wanted to say something, but Wan'er suddenly whispered to him: "It's for the sake of Lian'er." ”

What? Lian'er? Could it be that Wan'er already knows about Lian'er?

Murong Feng's heart suddenly hung in his throat.

What the hell is going on?

Murong Feng has always thought that Lian'er's matter has been buried in his heart, after all, in this matter, although he has unspeakable secrets, but Lian'er's grandfather's death is also indirectly caused by himself, from beginning to end, Murong Feng can't forget the eyes of Lian'er looking at him before he lost his memory, there are disappointment, despair, and countless resentment.

Murong Feng really regarded the whole thing as an unbearable memory in his life, and wanted to seal it forever, but the person he cared about the most now knew, was it that the hateful Zhong Jin told Wan'er?

However, Murong Feng immediately denied such an idea, because the culprit who killed Lian'er's grandfather and took away Lian'er's happiness was Zhong Jin, Zhong Jin may be more reluctant to mention this matter than himself, besides, Murong Feng had already seen that Zhong Jin also had ulterior motives for Wan'er, so naturally he would not reveal his true face to Wan'er like this.

Just when Murong Feng still didn't know what was going on, Mei Wanli spoke: "Okay, okay, I've decided, both of you will stay." Besides, I am very optimistic about Wan'er, and I want to recognize her as my granddaughter. ”

Mei Wanli's words stunned everyone.

She has always been cold, but she also has such a human side.

Murong Feng had no choice but to walk in with everyone.

This is not the first time Murong Feng has come to the Zhong family, he still remembers the first time he came, when the Zhong family's magnificent scene made him remember it vividly. The whole courtyard is clean and clean, although there is no gorgeous decoration, but it reveals a low-key sense of luxury, which makes people can't help but admire the inner temperament transmitted by this famous family from the heart.

But now, it can really be described as a mess.

The yard was full of smashed things, and the flowers and plants that were originally in good order were no longer fresh, but dilapidated. It seems that this place has really experienced a catastrophe, and during the time I left, I must have come here with bad intentions, and the Zhong family and his wife must have suffered a lot.

"This is the famous Zhong family?" Mei Wanli said in surprise.

Wan'er also sighed, "Yes, mother-in-law, how majestic the former Zhong family was." But since this lotus flower withered, those who had always wanted to occupy the lotus naturally thought that they had found a good opportunity, so they kept harassing the Zhong family, and they handed over the lotus, saying that the lotus had been destroyed by the Zhong family, and it should not be kept by the Zhong family in the future. Looking at the current situation, it can be seen that the Zhong family has really experienced hardships. ”

Mei Wanli also nodded.

At this moment, Wan'er suddenly knelt in front of Mei Wanli and said:

"Mother-in-law, this is the reason why several of us have gone to great lengths to find you, so you must save the Zhong family. ”

Mei Wanli saw Wan'er kneeling down, and hurriedly helped her up, and said lovingly: "Wan'er, don't worry, I will definitely save the Zhong family, not for the Zhong family, but for you, I said, I feel sorry for you, I want you to be my godgranddaughter." ”

Wan'er smiled and nodded.

At this moment, a little girl suddenly ran out of the house, crying and crying:

"Second brother, you're finally back. ”

Seeing this girl, Murong Feng was speechless for a while.
