Chapter 7 No Place to Complain
After the initial brief surprise of being possessed by Shi Xiangxia's soul, Li Xiangping soon felt bored.
Because Li Xiangping is a so-called sophisticated egoist, after careful analysis, he found that this matter is actually not very good for him. Even if because of Lao Shi's existence, he can cheat when playing Go, but what about it?
Not to mention that he was not going to be a professional chess player, then if he was just in the amateur chess world, his previous level was enough. Even if he was going to join the professional chess world, due to the existence of Go AI in the future, Lao Shi's level would not be enough.
In this case, the plug-in I opened is actually of little use.
There aren't many advantages, but there are a lot of disadvantages. I won't go into other details. Although I am a time traveler, I have to grow up like an ordinary person after my rebirth, right? So when I reach a certain age, I have to pick up girls or have a girlfriend...
There is no need to continue. Just think about it, there is another person stationed deep in your soul, this guy can spy on everything about you at all times. Li Xiangping feels chilled just by thinking about it.
To use a common word from later generations, such things are simply terrifying when you think about them carefully.
Li Xiangping couldn’t figure out how those predecessors who traveled through time with the system usually lived. Isn’t this a terrifying thing?
It was because he had figured these things out that after the third day of the time travel, Li Xiangping began to think about how to uninstall the plug-in.
However, as the saying goes, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away . Time travel is a supernatural phenomenon, and traveling with a system is even more supernatural.
This supernatural phenomenon was naturally beyond Li Xiangping's understanding, so even if he wanted to "send the gods away", he didn't know how to do it.
Especially since this incident happened so abruptly, he now knew that he had traveled through time and that there was a person named Lao Shi in his soul. As for why he had traveled through time? What was the reason for him to travel through time? Why did Lao Shi find him? Did he find him on purpose or did he meet him accidentally? And what was his purpose in finding him?
So far, Li Xiangping knew nothing about these issues. In this case, he certainly didn't know how to start.
But Li Xiangping still wanted to uninstall the system.
"Never mind, we have to give it a try. Lao Shi is just a Go player. It is said that there are basically no bad people among Go players. So I should discuss it with him first and ask him if he can leave on his own initiative. I think even if I ask him to leave directly, he will at least not do anything bad to me..."
With this idea in mind, Li Xiangping began to communicate with the other soul in his body:
"Brother Ding'an, Brother Ding'an, are you there?"
"I'm here, what's up, little friend Xiang Ping?"
Li Xiangping did not beat around the bush: "Well... In theory, I have no reason to be unwelcome to you as a guest in my body, but you should know that I am just an ordinary mortal. My small temple here should not be able to accommodate a great god like you, so Brother Ding'an, do you think you should..."
"Oh? Young friend Xiang Ping, are you not welcoming me?"
"No, no, if Brother Ding'an just wants to take a short break here, then of course I welcome you, but if you want to stay here permanently..."
Old Shi's words dashed Li Xiangping's hopes:
"I'm sorry, my dear Xiang Ping. I feel very sorry for occupying your place. However, what you don't know is that although Ding An came to your body by chance, I don't know how to leave."
Li Xiangping felt suffocated and a little amused. However, Li Xiangping didn't believe what Lao Shi said. How could he have such a useless cheat? If he was really so useless, would he have the nerve to show off in the human world?
"Then there must be someone who knows, right?"
"If you really want me to leave, you must find Miss Xiuqin first."
Xiqin? Hearing what Lao Shi said, Li Xiangping immediately thought of the ancient beauty by the Qinhuai River. Recalling every detail before the time travel, especially the strange behavior of the ancient beauty before the time travel, Li Xiangping is now almost certain that the person he met at that time might really be the historical Xiqin. The third of the "Five Wonders of Qinhuai".
Thinking of the story of Lao Shi and Xiuqin, Li Xiangping could no longer care about "sending the gods off" and decided to gossip for a while:
"Xiuqin, is that your lover, Brother Ding'an talking about?"
"My dear Xiang Ping, please stop talking nonsense. Miss Xiuqin and I were in love but we kept our relationship within the bounds of propriety. We have never done anything out of line..."
"Sorry, sorry, please forgive my inappropriate choice of words. I know that Miss Xiuqin is just your confidante, haha, confidante..."
Li Xiangping said sorry, while secretly despising him in his heart. He thought to himself that he had never thought that the great chess master Shi was actually a hypocritical person. What is "never did anything out of the ordinary"? Do you think I will believe it if you say it? Besides, if you really "never did anything out of the ordinary", how can you say it out loud? Don't you know that if this happened in modern times, it would be called being worse than an animal?
Of course, Li Xiangping doesn’t have time to care about these details now. He is more concerned about the “plan to send off the gods”.
"Then Brother Ding'an, how can we find Miss Xiuqin?"
"Go back to where you came from. You should be able to find Miss Xiuqin where you came from."
"Don't beat around the bush... Oh? Brother Ding'an, are you talking about the Qinhuai River? Then let's go look for it tomorrow."
"No, no, I'm not talking about the Qinhuai River today."
"You, what do you mean..." Li Xiangping came to his senses halfway through his speech, and after he realized it, he jumped up:
"Are you talking about the Qinhuai River eighteen years later?"
"Yes."
After getting an affirmative answer from Lao Shi, Li Xiangping was stunned. He was even too tired to complain.
We have to understand Li Xiangping's feelings at the moment. Think about it, he is already 13 years old, so theoretically, after another 5 years, he will be legally qualified to pick up girls. But from what Old Shi said, he needs to stay in Li Xiangping's body for at least 18 years. This... How is he going to live in the future?
"How could this happen? Why is she still there, but we have returned to the year 2000?"
Li Xiangping was actually a little furious when he said this, but Old Shi didn't seem to notice. Instead, he asked curiously, "Why is this year called 2000?"
“This is Xiyuan.”
Li Xiangping felt that Lao Shi was trying to change the subject, so he started to get a little aggressive:
"According to historical records, you were born in 1710, which was the 49th year of Kang Mazi's reign, and died... I don't need to tell you which year you died. Anyway, seeing your current condition, I guess the historical records are probably unreliable. Well, let's not talk about this for now. You can convert it yourself as to why it is called 2000. You should first tell me why Miss Xiuqin is still 18 years later, but we are here now?"
Old Shi still gave an irrelevant answer: "Who is Kang Mazi you are talking about?"
"That's the Holy Ancestor of your Qing Dynasty." Li Xiangping said coldly:
"Brother Ding'an, don't try to change the subject. You are a chess master, it is impossible that you don't even know this. Now tell me honestly, why did you appear in my body, and why did we come to this era?"
Since he felt that Lao Shi seemed like an honest man, Li Xiangping became bolder and spoke more presumptuously. Take what he just said, for example, it was obviously a bit of an insult.
"Alas, this matter is hard to explain in a few words. Don't be anxious, my friend Xiang Ping. Just listen to me and I will tell you the truth. In fact, our coming here and being separated from Miss Xiuqin was purely a mistake in operation."
"Mistake?"
After hearing this explanation, Li Xiangping didn't know whether to laugh or cry. No, it might be more appropriate to say that he was in tears but couldn't cry.
Time travel is a supernatural phenomenon, but can supernatural phenomena still have mistakes?
Where can Li Xiangping go to seek justice?
Li Xiangping now has a bad feeling. Regardless of whether what Lao Shi said is true or false, if he wants to uninstall the plug-in as soon as possible, it may not be that easy.
"Okay, now tell me, what exactly is the mistake?"
"Here's what happened..."
Unfortunately, when they were talking about the key point, their communication was interrupted, because at this moment, Li Xiangping's father came to the ward:
"Xiang Ping, your Aunt Lin is here to see you. Hehe, she also brought you a good thing."
Appearing with Li Yuanhu was a young woman who was less than 30 years old. When Li Xiangping saw the new person, his expression immediately changed and he even snorted coldly.
