As they neared the evening, Tang Ming knocked on the door of Liu Huaiqiu's room. She opened the door and looked at Tang Ming, "You've come."

Tang Ming nodded. With Liu Huaimei leaning to the side, he walked straight into the room. With a glance, he could see the chessboard that was placed there.

However, Tang Ming did not think that Liu Huai Qu would really want to play chess with him. Thus, he followed Liu Huai Qu and sat down.

"Guest, please leave first." Liu Huai Qu looked at Tang Ming with a smile. Tang Ming nodded and didn't hold back.

The two went down for quite a while until the sky completely darkened. Only then did Tang Ming raise his head and say, "Alliance Head Liu's chess skills are very similar to Ling's chess skills."

Liu Huai Qu stopped playing chess and calmly asked, "Is that so?"

"However, compared to Ling, Alliance Head Liu's chess is more stable and has a better understanding of the overall situation. That brat Ling only knows that even if he wins, he will still suffer heavy injuries on both sides." Tang Ming picked up another one the moment Liu Huai Qu fell.

However, even if it was like this, it was enough to shock Tang Ming.

From a certain point of view, chess reflected a person's character. Tang Ming still thought that a mature and steady person like Liu Huai Qu would be laid out step by step.

He did not expect it to be so messy, with a hint of ruthlessness that did not care about the consequences. It was completely different from what Liu Huai Qu had done in this period.

"A lot of times, a lot of things, can't be solved with just hot-bloodedness – this is what I understood after hitting my head so hard that it could break one's blood flow." Liu Huai Qu didn't mind Tang Ming's gaze. Instead, he openly let Tang Ming guess.

"As far as I know, the experience of Alliance Head Liu has always been smooth sailing." Tang Ming knew that he couldn't figure out anything, so he didn't do any useless work. He just focused most of his attention on the board.

Tang Ming had raised the habit of going all out in everything he could think of these past few years.

Liu Huai Qu smiled and did not answer Tang Ming's question.

Indeed, in the eyes of the people, "Liu Huai Qu" was indeed smooth sailing. Even if there were any setbacks, they would quickly struggle free from the quagmire, always with the help of a noble person.

However, he was not only Liu Huai Qu, he could not possibly only be Liu Huai Qu.

Thinking of this, Liu Huai Qu took a sip of tea. The tea was slightly bitter, but to Liu Huai Qu, it was just right.

Tang Ming's finger came in contact with the slightly cold tea. He did not have the intention to change the water, but imitated Liu Huai Qu and used his inner force to heat up the water.

When Liu Huai Qu saw this, he said half-jokingly, "I think I should be glad that Sect Leader Chu chased me out of the sect."

Tang Ming's gaze turned sharp for a moment, just like a drawn sword. Soon after, it was hidden behind a pair of calm eyes. "I want to know why."

"Because if he hadn't been chased out of the Sect, and Sect Leader Chu knew that I had taught his favorite disciple badly, he would probably have chased after me with a sword." Liu Huai Qu faintly looked at the steaming cup of tea in Tang Ming's hands, and said, "It's possible that the entire Heavenly Cloud Sect will hate the name list, and will even want the number one spot."

"Although I am very happy to be able to be liked by junior brothers and sisters, what Alliance Head Liu said is too exaggerated." Tang Ming didn't feel that it was bad to use inner strength to make things convenient for himself. Before, he didn't do this because Tang Ming didn't want to rely too much on the convenience brought by inner strength.

"As you always do not understand your own charm." Liu Huai Qu didn't continue speaking, but he could do nothing about Tang Ming's sluggishness in certain areas.

"How is Rou'er?" Tang Ming didn't continue with this topic and only switched the topic to Tang Rou.

"After making a ruckus and wanting to go into the martial arts world for a bit, I stopped her. However, after I left Liu City, she sneaked out of Liu City with Servant Zheng and Jiang Zigong." Liu Huai Qu looked at Tang Ming with a slight headache: "However, you can rest assured from the start. I will have my men follow them and there won't be any problems."

"Rou Er is causing trouble for Alliance Head Liu." Tang Ming nodded his head, indicating that he already knew about Tang Rou'er's actions.

"Rou Er is also my sworn sister, taking care of her is what I should do." Liu Huai Qu said to Tang Ming with a smile. With worry that couldn't be hidden between his brows, he continued, "It's just that the martial arts world hasn't been peaceful recently. I wonder if that girl will have any accidents."

Jiang Zisheng, in particular, was following him around. Although he looked harmless now, who knew when he would suddenly go crazy?

A lunatic that wasn't much safer than Feng Tian.

"That Young Master Jiang?" Tang Ming looked at Liu Huai Qu and felt that he had caught on to the main point of Liu Huai Qu's tone. Although he felt that he shouldn't have asked, because Jiang Zigong was by Tang Rou's side, Tang Ming would inevitably care about it, "Chief Liu, you don't mind telling me the story of Mister Jiang, right?"

"Actually, there's nothing much to say. It's just the story of a family who, in order to achieve their so-called ambitions and create a monster, mistakenly thought to be a failure and was treated as an abandoned son." Liu Huai Qu thought about it for a while and finally decided to explain the story of Jiang Zigong.

Jiang Zisheng's mother was the daughter of a poor scholar, but she had a penniless and rich personality. She hooked up with a young master of the Jiang family and gave birth to Jiang Zisheng. Unfortunately, this lady didn't have a mother's son. Instead, she had a mother's son. She died in depression.

"And the Jiang family accepted Jiang Zideng not because Jiang Zi was bleeding from the Jiang family, but because the Jiang family coveted the ability of the previous head of the sect to pass his power directly to the next head, so they've been studying him in secret. Jiang Zideng is the Jiang family's experimental subject."

"Jiang Zisheng's talent is excellent, much better than Xie Qingming at noon. If there's a competition, he should be on par with your junior brother Luo Ling. If there's a master coming to teach him, then he must be a famous person in the younger generation."

"It's a pity that this genius was destroyed by the Jiang family's selfishness when he was still too young. When Jiang Ziquan was very young, the Jiang family taught him a martial art that they developed themselves. This martial art can directly absorb the inner strength of others, and under the threat of the Jiang family, Jiang ZiGeng absorbed all sorts of people's inner strength."

"Finally, Jiang Zisheng's body couldn't take the pressure anymore, and the Qi that he had absorbed was gone. Jiang Zisheng, on the other hand, couldn't practice martial arts anymore, and was treated as an abandoned son by the Jiang Clan."

"If that's all it is, I believe that Jiang Zisheng isn't someone that can cause Alliance Head Liu to fear him." Tang Ming knocked on the table. Under Liu Huai Qu's smile, he revealed his guess: "That inner force didn't disappear?"
