Three chess games determines their success or failure, to request for the river"s one w.a.n.g Qiu Pavilion"s "Wanqi"!
When they saw the preview the night before, many viewers were anxiously looking forward to it. They watched Xiao Xiang bring in people to win the chess game, they also watched Xiao Xiang boldly place her sword on top of the table, saying in a dangerously low tone: "Teacher Wanqi."
However, the preview ended here. From the beginning to end, they only saw the edge of a white robe, and never saw the person Wanqi Yao himself.
Tian Feifei was a loyal fan of "Vie for Supremacy" even long before it aired. Not surprisingly because ever since she watched "Ambush", she was deeply attracted to the second male lead, Huo Xi. At the beginning, she was Marshal Huo"s die-hard fan. And up til now, she watched "Vie for Supremacy" to see Rong Xu, but has now become a loyal viewer of the drama.
Ever since the first episode to now, Wanqi Yao was finally making his first appearance!
While chatting with her friends, Tian Feifei nervously waited for Wanqi Yao"s appearance.
【Marshal Hao is such a cruel beauty, looking at the trailer, I feel that Wanqi Yao belongs to the more soft and gentle type ah. I always felt that Rongrong didn"t suit the gentle type? He should be killing people with his gun, and have an unpredictable temper. It only feels right like that, only like that is it my family"s beautiful beautiful beautiful Rongrong ah~】
After sending this message, Tian Feifei looked up to see the female general Xiao Xiang bringing her people to enter w.a.n.g Qiu Pavilion.
In an instant, the background music suddenly stopped, leaving only the sound of the waves from the river"s sh.o.r.e. The bleak autumn wind was mixed with a hint of chilliness, brushing past the vast Yun Meng River, causing the surface of the blue waves to ripple. The valiant and heroic female general pa.s.sed through the tall bridge placed between the two buildings, her back ramrod straight and gaze firm as she went forward.
Step by step by step.
w.a.n.g Qiu Pavilion"s building were densely covered. She brandished her sword, and with the help of the scholars" thinking, they pa.s.sed the difficulties on each floor level.
Finally, she arrived on the top floor of the pavillion.
Reaching out her hands, she pushed open the door.
At this moment, even the sound of the wind and waves stopped, leaving only the "creaking" sound on the door opening. Tian Feifei couldn"t help but hold her breath, her fingers unconsciously trembling.
The screen slowly panned across the room, across the pavilion study"s collection of tens of thousands of books, and revealing the landscape screen in front of the spiraling wisp of sandalwood incenses. A lean figure standing in front of the window, leaning against the railing as they gazed afar. The breeze brought by the lake gently lifted his long hair, and the white robes fluttered with the wind. In front of him was the horizon that connected the lake and sky, behind him was a peaceful and tranquil study.
If one won the third chess board, one can meet Teacher Wanqi.
But in this world, there was no one who could even win the first chess game!
Yet today, Chu State"s Xiao Xiang brought more than twenty chess masters, before finally winning the first two chess games after three days and three nights. This was cheating, but she still won. She soon found that there was no third chess board in this world, therefore she carried her long sword and made a grand entrance into this pavilion, to finally meet this person at the very top floor.
Xiao Xiang"s shock last only a second. She quickly entered, and cupped her hands: "…Teacher Wanqi?" There was a hint of doubt in the tone.
In response to her, was the sound of the waves that remained unchanged since times immemorial from Yun Meng Lake outside the window.
Xiao Xiang took a step forward: "Teacher Wanqi."
Inside the quiet and elegant study, there was still none that responded to her.
At this time, this strong and iron-blooded female general seems to have remembered Chu State"s currently disadvantaged situation of the country being near destruction. She clenched her teeth, took another step forward, and in a loud voice: "This one would like to solve the third chess game, one ask for Teacher Wanqi to please come out. Now that Xiao Xiang has solved the first two chess boards, this one dares to ask Teacher Wanqi, where is the third chess board located!"
The resounding words were spoken, and left lingering in the air.
However, Wanqi Yao"s person still did not turn around. Just as the man behind Xiao Xiang were about to impatiently question his meaning by this, a low-pitched laughter softly sound in this quiet study. Xiao Xiang was startled, and all those men were also stunned. They watched as that upright figure in white who stood above Yun Meng Lake next to the window railing, slowly turn around, silently glancing at them with a smile.
In that instant, it was as if time had completely stopped. He raised his right hand, and urged the little sparrow to go. It was unknown when the little bird appeared on his finger, maybe it was when Xiao Xiang and her party entered, and had stayed there the whole time.
The sparrow jumped back and forth, refusing to leave. In front of Xiao Xiang and the men, this exceptionally beautiful young man caressed the little bird"s soft feathers, before the little bird slowly left reluctantly.
Xiao Xiang"s gaze could not help but follow the little sparrow as it flew away from w.a.n.g Qiu Pavilion. When she finally dropped her gaze again, her eyes locked onto a pair of bright and clear eyes. He stood above the blue wave of Yun Meng Lake, above the billowing spirals of incenses in front of the books, silently looking her.
"If one can win over my two chess games, one can enter w.a.n.g Qiu Pavilion. As for the last game… why not right now, I will lay out the third board for General Xiao."
His tone was as light as the winds and clouds, and the smile on his lips was even more gentle.
That little sparrow circled around and flew back; he reached out his hands once again, looking at the little bird with what seems to be a helpless yet doting gaze.
Xiao Xiang stayed silent for a long time, before taking another step forward: "Deference is no subst.i.tute for obedience."
This is Wanqi Yao. When Xiao Xiang first met him, she held in her hand a sharp blade, and he was caressing a little sparrow. Inside the study housing tens of thousands of books, above the Yun Meng Lake, Wanqi Yao had his first meeting with Xiao Xiang, spoke her name, and laid down the third chess game for her.
The white-clad figure took the side black, placed the a piece in tianyuan and started with a komi of seven and a half.
In the end, with a half size difference, he lost to the twenty highly skills masters from Chu State. The twenty grandmasters signed in admiration and in their inferiority. As for Wanqi Yao, he only brought along a small child and little luggage, before boarding the ship Xiao Xiang prepared, and left Yun Meng Lake.
This episode ended with w.a.n.g Qiu Pavilion still in view on screen.
The autumn sun shone down brightly on the lake, and painted the builds of w.a.n.g Qiu Pavilion, covering it in a warm yellow light.
Like this, the episode ended.
Tian Feifei"s phone was receiving endless messages, but she kept on staring fixedly at the screen with her eyes wide open leaving her simply with no time to pay attention to her phone. Only waiting until the preview for the next episode was over, she suddenly snapped out of her daze and quickly turned on her phone to look.
In one glance, there was over twenty messages!
【Ah ah ah ah Rongrong is so beautiful, did you see?! How can he be so beautiful!!】
【I"m the little bird in Rongrong"s hands, that"s me! That"s me!】
【Who was it that hid away my Teacher Wanqi in that golden house and placed it in a desolate place like the middle of Yun Meng Lake ah ah ah ah!!! Feifei, Rongrong is so beautiful!! You look in his eyes, there"s light in his eyes, there"s really light ah ah ah ah! My husband is so beautiful! 】
【… Feifei, say something ah?】
【Ao ao ao ao Rongrong didn"t plan to win at all! How can Wanqi Yao so powerful! 】
……
【You even said before that Rongrong wasn"t suitable for this gentle and aloof type! I want to seriously PK you! You dare say my family"s Yaoyao is no good? My family"s Yaoyao is beautiful enough to over turn the Heavens, Rongrong in white is simply that beautiful! Ehhh wait wait wait… what do you think about the CP "Hou Xi x Wanqi Yao"? Now that I thought of it, it seems to work ah?! Yaoyao is so beautiful, Marshal definitely wouldn’t be willing to give him up, he would definitely hold carefully him in the palms of his hand like a treasure…】
As soon as she saw this message, Tian Feifei was frightened and quickly rushed to reply: 【Having the gong and shou be the same person, don"t you think the hole in your brain too big?! But Rongrong really is too beautiful! How can he be soooo handsome and beautiful! But I keep on thinking that the asceticism feeling that Yaoyao gives off is very excessive… don"t you feel that… the excessive abstinence… also feels…. very… dirty…. AH AH AH I really want to sleep with him, I really want to bed him!!!】
#BeggingtosleepwithWanqiYao
The two episodes that day ended. By the evening at eleven, #BeggingtosleepwithWanqiYao climbed up to the top three hashtags in "Vie for Supremacy" super topic thread. Waiting till after midnight, the hashtag even went up to the 32rd rank in the popular searches and the top 50 hottest searches on the whole internet!
Any netizens who clicks the hashtag could see the fans" meticulously edited clips of Wanqi Yao.

【Begging to sleep with Wanqi Yao! If I can bed him, then my whole life would be worth it!】

B-City, Nighttime
The two episodes of "Vie for Supremacy" ended. A handsome and aloof man was wearing black pajamas, his whole face seriously staring at the ad playing on TV. After a while, he silently picked up the remote and pressed the playback b.u.t.ton.
Not long later, the TV started to repeat the episode of "Vie for Supremacy", showing the scenes "Xiao Xiang entering w.a.n.g Qiu Pavilion, facing off against Wanqi Yao, and finally leaving Yun Meng Lake together."
Watching it again… and again… and again!
After re-watching it again for the third time, Qin Cheng expressionlessly got up and walked over to the french windows, and looked down at the bustling city night scene. After three minutes, he silently walked back to the sofa, the red on the tip of his ears finally fading slightly. He muttered to himself for a moment, before picking up the remote again… and rewatched it for the fourth time!
Soon after, a posted was made on Weibo.
【Lotus Seed Paste and Orange Stuffing: Ah ah ah ah beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful! Why are you so beautiful! Why are you so cute!!! I really want to sleep with him, really really really really really really really really really really really really want to #BeggingtosleepwithWanqiYao】
If someone was to click on this Weibo account and scroll around a bit, one"s afraid they would be surprised to find that all posts made by this account are all related to Rong Xu!
One posted in the morning——
【Lotus Seed Paste and Orange Stuffing: I really want to have breakfast with Rongrong today.】
One posted in the afternoon——
【Lotus Seed Paste and Orange Stuffing: Hou Xi is so handsome.】
One posted at night——
【Lotus Seed Paste and Orange Stuffing: "Vie for Supremacy" is about to be on soon, looking forward to meeting Wanqi Yao!】
This was more punctual than having three meals a day!
At the same time, Rong Xu who was thousands of miles away naturally didn"t know that in the apartment he had just left from yesterday, a man was instantly watching the TV with a blank expression, already rewatching for the fifth time and was even eagerly going onto the sixth time! Even after rewatching the episode so many times, there wasn"t much of an expression on his face, as if he was just casually watching it out of boredom.
In order to be prepared for tomorrow"s makeup and photoshoot, Rong Xu went to sleep early. When he woke up, he brushed his teeth as he looked through his friends circle on Weibo to suddenly discover that he was on the trending searches again.
#BeggingtosleepwithWanqiYao
This tag… was a bit shameful. Rong Xu send Luo Zhentao a message to specially ask if it was him behind this extremely shameful hashtag.
Who expected Luo Zhentao to replied, feeling wronged: 【If I wanted to buy the water army to help you get on the trending searches, wouldn"t I have added your name in it? Xiao Xu, although this tag… makes one feel ashamed, but the results are very good ah. It was actually pushed to the top 10 by the netizens themselves!】
Rong Xu: "……"
Yes that"s right, the top ten. Once you click on it to look, everyone was saying "I really want sleep with him."
Rong Xu believes he has experienced great winds and big waves. What kind of scenes have he not seen before? But this was really… the first time he"s encountered the whole world wanting to "sleep" with him. Leaving aside when he wasn"t famous yet in his last life, even after he became famous, he was always the protagonist with his own female lead, or… male lead—— En, he indeed acted in a gay movie before.
However, his fans have never been so enthusiastic, and would only silently contribute to the box office. How could it been that you just change the world and everyone turned so pa.s.sionate?!
【If I can"t sleep with Wanqi Yao, I refuse to get up!】
【Oops I fell down, I will only get up if Rongrong gives me a kiss~】
【If I can"t sleep with Wanqi Yao, then what other meaning does my life have… or maybe I can sleep with Huo Xi~23333】
【I let you guys have Wanqi Yao, I"ll also let you have Huo Xi, I"ll sleep with [email protected] Xu】
Rong Xu: "……" You still dare to aite him!!!
While he was taking the character posters during the day, Rong Xu has been silently looking through the fan comments. He has already signed the contract for "Black Clouds" with Luo Zhentao this morning and finalized the filming schedule, so today"s photoshoot was also very relaxing and pleasant. Rong Xu was very idle and in the next moment, he has already looked through thousands of posts made by fans.
As long as you search up the posts with the hashtag #BeggingtosleepwithWanqiYao, he has already read every post word by word.
When he was returning to the hotel at night, Rong Xu scrolled through his phone and saw another post.
【Lotus Seed Paste and Orange Stuffing: No! Sleeping with Wanqi Yao is not enough! I want Rongrong, I want to sleep with Rongrong! #BeggingtosleepwithWanqiYao】
There wasn"t much difference between this post and the pervious fans", Rong Xu only glanced at it before continuing to casually scroll down. After one day, he was already used to the fans" shamelessness. He even accidently clicked on a little beep-writing by a fan and looked through it, so he no longer cares about this sort of verbal molesting.
Before going to sleep tonight, Rong Xu thought about it and in the end still made a post.
【Rong Xu: After watching "Vie for Supremacy" tonight, you have to rest early~ I"m going to sleep first, the door"s locked, no one is allowed to come in. [Smile][Smile][Smile]】
Many fans justed turned on the TV and heard "Vie for Supremacy" theme song when they suddenly received a notification.
【Ah ah ah ah ah ah Rongrong, let me sleep with you!!!】
The next day, with the increase of Wanqi Yao"s scenes, more and more fans aren"t just licking the beauty, but also began a.n.a.lyzing the character. The more he appeared, the more people would admire him because who could believe that such a seemingly frail youth can guide thousands of troops to destroy an even more powerful army.
If you were to said you like this person since the beginning, what you liked was his temperament and his face. Now with the display of the character "Wanqi Yao", more and more fans are affected by his tranquil and calm bearing, and was also touched by his seemingly cold, but gentle heart.
Until three days later, the story suddenly came to where Wanqi Yao and the second male lead Dongli Lan meets on the battlefield.
On this side, Rong Xu has began preparing for "Black Clouds" starting ceremony the next day. While over there, many viewers were stunned as they watched Dongli Lan, don in armor, look on coldly at Teacher Wanqi who was clothed in white. The long sword was pointed, a cold sneer, and in a piercingly heartless voice: "Whoever kills him will be rewarded ten thousand gold taels and the t.i.tle of Marquis!"
The author has something to say:
Rongrong: Ah, what was that name again, Lotus Seed what?
Qin Orangeorange [Jumps up]: It"s Baby! It"s Baby! It was Baby!
Rongrong: Oh I forgot, it was probably just an ordinary fan.
Qin Orangeorange: QAQ!!!

Network Police 666 – Refers to the police responsible for maintaining network security in the government, mainly the network surveillance police of the public security department and the network security personnel of the national security department.
As for the 666 part, all I found was things like “Network Police x.x.x has started monitoring this group chat” There were also different numbers hence the x.x.x
