Chapter 946: Chapter 946: Secret Omen (3)

"Cui Pingan, you better not talk!" Mo Yan faintly guessed what Cui Pingan wanted to say and suddenly didn’t want to know anymore. With Xuetuan, she already knew everything she could, and no matter how bizarre Cui Pingan’s experiences were, she had no interest in them.

How to walk the future path, one can only rely on oneself to move forward, whether it’s her or him, it is the same.

After brewing for a while and having decided to speak up, Cui Pingan was immediately at a loss for words. Could it be that in this world, there really was someone who didn’t want to know other people’s secrets? Did this mean that the person before him could truly be trusted?

Mo Qingze didn’t know Cui Pingan’s thoughts and seriously said, "No matter what secrets you have, as long as those secrets can bring danger to you, you must never tell them to others, even if this person is someone you would trust with your life!"

"Why, why is that?" Cui Pingan asked in a stammer, truly bewildered as to why one couldn’t even confide in those they trusted.

That secret had been hidden in his heart for too long. Every morning when he woke up, he pondered who he really was; whether he was the Cui Pingan from his past life who failed to protect the girl he loved and died of sorrow, or if he was Cui Pingan in this life, starting anew with all the tragedies yet to occur but about to unfold.

"Under the premise that there is no conflict of interest, perhaps the person who knows your secret may keep it for you, but once there’s a matter of interest involved, it’s not certain anymore. Even if that secret causes you sleepless nights, you can try to forget it or take it as a warning, but don’t casually tell it to others. By doing so, you protect not only yourself but also others."

Mo Yan knew that Cui Pingan was simple-minded and not very cunning. If he only encountered kind people, he could probably live peacefully and happily all his life. But who doesn’t come across a few scoundrels in their lifetime? Without a reminder or two, who knows if one day he might be sold out without realizing it.

What if one day, in order to deal with Cui Pingan, someone threatens those who know his secret? Wouldn’t that bring disaster upon them for no reason? Who knows if under threat, they would let slip the secret?

Cui Pingan seemed thoughtful, vaguely understanding yet also confused.

Mo Yan smiled faintly, not speaking out to interrupt him, as she quietly walked out of the kitchen with two plates of watermelon.

...

In the great study, the father-in-law and his son-in-law were getting along quite harmoniously. When Mo Yan entered, the two were sparring in chess skill.

In Mo Family Village, Mo Qingze had few opportunities to spar in chess, so his skills weren’t great. Later, after arriving in Jing City, he had more chances to play chess. Besides, the Spirit Spring Water had optimized his mental capacity, so his chess skill improved a lot.

Xiao Ruiyuan had been playing chess with the late Elder Sir Xiao since he was young, and he was quite good at it. If it had been before, he could have utterly defeated Mo Qingze, but even though he could still win now, would a son-in-law dare to defeat his father-in-law? Was he asking to be disliked?

Their styles of playing chess were entirely different; one was gentle like a breeze and calculated every step, while the other was decisive and boldly advanced. It wasn’t clear which style was better; it all depended on the level of chess skill.

With Xiao Ruiyuan’s unnoticeable concessions, Mo Qingze won a bit more frequently and didn’t realize he was being allowed to win. After all, Xiao Ruiyuan’s chess skill was somewhat better.

Mo Yan watched a game but didn’t see anything particular and called them to eat watermelon.

While eating, Mo Qingze suddenly thought of something and asked Xiao Ruiyuan, "I heard that the northwest is not very stable, and the court is considering sending troops. Is that true?"

If it had been someone else, Mo Qingze wouldn’t have casually inquired about court affairs, but who made the man before him his son-in-law? Once the troops were dispatched, his son-in-law was very likely to go to war. How could he not be worried?
