"I...I admit defeat."

In front of Lan Xinxuan, a disciple clenched his fists and lowered his head.

Arched his hands, Mo Xia said: "Senior brother accepts."

"Wow... Junior Brother Mo is so amazing, how many consecutive victories is this already? It has only been more than a year, and there is no senior in the hall who can beat him."

"Senior Brother Hezhi can't play, I heard that even his chess power is already on par with Cheng Litang."

"Ah? This is too powerful. Cheng Litang is recognized as the most powerful player in the clan."

In the exclamation that was deliberately lowered by the surroundings, Mo Xia put the black on the chessboard into his own chess set.

Raising his head, Mo Xia was just about to find his next opponent when he saw a figure walking past the crowd.

‘Brother! ? ’

Mo Xia's eyes widened. Ever since he came back from Covering Yuezong, Mo Xia has always wanted to find his seniors to play chess, but no matter in the hall or in the clan, Mo Xia couldn't find the seniors until later I heard that the seniors had gone as emperor. .

This made Mo Xia extremely disappointed, because he really learned a lot from his seniors during the time of the Masked Moon Sect, but even if he learned so much, he still had a high level of admiration for the seniors in the course of chess. a feeling of.

Quickly squeezing out the crowd, Mo Xia chased in the direction where the senior brother disappeared, but he did not see the senior brother again.

Looking around for a while, Mo Xia's gaze was fixed on the innermost chess room.

That was the exclusive chess room of Cheng Auditorium, and the place that Senior Brother was most likely to go should be there.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Xia knocked on the door two steps forward.

"What's the matter?" The voice of Cheng Auditorium came from inside.

"Disciple Mo Xia has something to see."

Hearing Mo Xia's name, Jiang Beiran, who had just dropped a white son, had a meal, thinking that it had been a long time since he had seen this chess obsessed junior.

At first, because I thought that I was famous for winning the first prize in chess, many people would inevitably come to challenge in the future, so I planned to train Moxia as a shield for himself.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. He only came back soon after he was enthroned in the Ningdu Palace, and Moxia naturally lost the meaning of a tool man. In addition, after he became very busy, Jiang Beiran left him behind. Up.

Cheng Litang didn't like to be disturbed when he was playing chess, but when he heard that his other proud disciple was coming, he didn't directly rush the people and said, "Come in."

As soon as Cheng Auditorium's voice fell, the door was gently pushed open, and Mo Xia cautiously glanced in and found that the senior brother was indeed playing against the auditorium.

Putting away the excitement in his heart, Mo Xia first walked towards Cheng Auditorium and said, "See Cheng Auditorium."

"What's the matter with me?" Cheng Litang asked.

"The disciple wants to come and ask some questions from the auditorium."

"Yeah." Cheng Litang nodded, "Then you wait first."

"Yes." Mo Xia quietly stood in front of the chessboard and began to watch the game.

Soon, the time for a half stick of incense passed, and Mo Xia, who had been watching the battle seriously, felt a feeling in his heart.

‘Brother definitely keep your hands. ’

When he was in Covering the Moon Sect, the pressure on each of his brothers was extremely huge, especially when it came to the middle game, almost every one of them would make him feel suffocated.

But in the match between Senior Brother and Cheng Litang, Mo Xia couldn't feel this feeling at all, and it was definitely not just because he was watching and not rivaling Senior Brother.

‘No wonder brother didn’t win the auditorium very much, it turned out that it was for this reason...’

When Cheng Auditorium dropped his last son, Mo Xia volunteered to take charge of the number, and finally counted Cheng Auditorium's narrow victory.

"The chess skills in the auditorium are really becoming more and more charming, and the disciples admire it." Jiang Beiran arched his hands.

"Hahaha, it should be said that Beiran, you have been unfamiliar for so long, but you can still reach this level. It is terrifying for the younger generation. Come, come and play again."

After listening, Jiang Beiran looked at Mo Xia and said, "The auditorium, there are disciples waiting for you."

"Ouch." Cheng Litang patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I have forgotten everything when I play chess, Mo Xia, what do you want to ask?"

Mo Xia hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The disciples are not in a hurry, please continue with the two of you." After speaking, he began to sort the chessboard.

"Speaking of which, the heroes back then, you two should have known each other on the road." Cheng Litang asked while drinking tea.

"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded.

"Well, does this little brother give you a lot of pressure? If you relax anymore, sooner or later, your chess power will be surpassed by him." Cheng Litang smiled.

As soon as Cheng Litang finished speaking, before Jiang Beiran could answer, Mo Xia's face was already red.

‘Won the brother? He couldn't even think about it. ’

"The disciple also wants to spend more time on Go, but now I can't help it, there are too many things to be busy, not just a little free, I came to you to play chess."

This sentence Jiang Beiran said sincerely. In the first few years of Zongli, the most he did was to play chess. Although the starting point was to seek benefits from the hall master, the feelings he cultivated were genuine. During this period, Cheng Hall did take care of her in all aspects.

So just after I had some free time, I came to make the elderly happy.

"It's rare that you have this heart."

As the two talked, the chessboard had been sorted, and the two fought again.

In this way, he went down to You, before Jiang Beiran left.

As soon as Jiang Beiran left, Cheng Litang wanted to ask Mo Xia again, but found that he was no longer in the room.

"What about people..."

After leaving Lan Xinxuan, Jiang Beiran was planning to go to Shuijingtang, and he felt that there was a small tail behind him.

"What's wrong with me?" Jiang Beiran asked Mo Xia, looking back.

Mo Xia holding the chessboard stopped and nodded and said, "I also want to play a game with my senior."

"Next time, I have something to do later."

"Then... Is it okay for Zishi? Or ugly? I can wait for brother, you to finish."

Seeing Mo Xia's pitiful eyes, Jiang Beiran sighed and said: "Zi Shi is waiting for me in Lan Xinxuan."

Mo Xia nodded and said: "Okay!"

"Well, let's go back." After saying that Jiang Beiran turned and continued to walk towards Shuijingtang.

When he arrived at the door of Tinglan Shuixie, Jiang Beiran reached out and knocked on the door twice, but when he opened the door, he found that it was not Xiaoduo but Shi Fenglan standing at the door.

"Shitang..."

"Come in fast, come in fast."

Before Jiang Beiran asked what was going on, Shi Fenglan took Jiang Beiran's hand and ran into the hall.

"Slower, slower, what's going on?" Jiang Beiran asked as he ran.

"You just come with me."

Pulling Jiang Beiran all the way to the Pian Ting, Shi Fenglan pointed to the big box in the middle and said, "Guess what's inside?"

‘Good guy, scribble box? ’

Scrabble wood is a kind of wood with excellent sealing effect. No matter what kind of heaven, material and earth treasures are stored in, it can ensure that the aura will not leak, just like freshly picked.

Such good materials are naturally expensive. Even Jiang Beiran only has a few small bottles made of silk. As for the boxes made of silk, he saw it for the first time.

‘Has no humanity...’

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Jiang Beiran mentally induced the contents of the box.

‘Hiss... what does it feel like? ’

As soon as Jiang Beiran's mental power penetrated into the box, he felt a very mysterious feeling. It is difficult to describe what it is in words, as if it is changing at any time.

"I don't know." Jiang Beiran shook his head.

"Guess it, guess it!" Shi Fenglan bounced.

"Don't guess."

"Woo~" Puffed up her cheeks, Shi Fenglan knew that since Jiang Beiran said she didn't guess, then how she acted like a baby would be useless, it would only have the opposite effect.

‘Hmph, when you see the contents of the box, you will definitely...hehehe. ’

With a snicker in her heart, Shi Fenglan bent down to release the buckle of the box. The moment the box lid was opened, Jiang Beiran felt a peculiar fragrance penetrate into his nose.

‘What’s this smell? ’

Jiang Beiran, who had never smelled such a scent, became curious. He had been in the sea of ​​flowers for so many years, and he had never smelled such a special smell.

"Dangdangdang~"

Opening the box completely, Shi Fenglan stepped aside and showed the contents of the box to Jiang Beiran.

Jiang Beiran looked intently and saw that in the box was an odd flower emitting a shimmer. The leaves were orange, and the stems were superimposed on the ground from a very short ground, arranged on both sides, with long stalks and a very flower shape. Strange, like a fire phoenix about to spread its wings and soar.

Jiang Beiran searched the knowledge base in his head, but he didn't even know what the flower was called.

Seeing Jiang Beiran's astonishment, Shi Fenglan was obviously very proud, akimbo and raised her neck and said: "Hey, awesome, this is called the bird of paradise, it is the eighth existence on the odd flower list."

'bird of paradise! ? ’

Jiang Beiran's eyes widened again. He had seen this name on Rare Book and knew that it could rank in the top five hundred.

You should know that the Rare Book contains the rare and exotic treasures of the entire Xuanlong Continent. It is extremely rare to appear on this level list, let alone rank in the top five hundred.

"Hey, isn't it amazing? Isn't it amazing? Isn't it amazing?"

Shi Fenglan asked in a circle around Jiang Beiran.

"Where did this come from?" Jiang Beiran asked.

"Just leave it alone, don't you like it?"

"Well, I do like it." Jiang Beiran nodded and admitted.

"As long as you have been playing with me this month, I will give it to you, OK?"

As soon as Shi Fenglan finished speaking, Jiang Beiran jumped out of two options.

[Option 1: promise Shi Fenglan. Completion reward: Broken Dragon Forbidden Spectrum (earth-level top grade)]

[Option 2: Reject Shi Fenglan. Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]

‘Good fellow... the first grade is not bad. ’

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Beiran directly chose Second and said, "Not good."

[The optional task has been completed, reward: alchemy +1]

"Why!" Shi Fenglan shouted, pouting.

"Bad is bad, do you think I am the kind of person who can be tempted by treasures?"

"Did you not accept my soul baby fruit last time?"

"Last time was last time."

"Then what's different this time!"

"When I say that it is different, it means that it is different. Put it away quickly and be careful of being robbed." After speaking, he left the side hall.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was about to leave, Shi Fenglan grabbed Jiang Beiran's hand and said, "You don't like this. I'll help you find someone else. You can play with me for a month."

Sighing, Jiang Beiran turned around and said: "Don't worry, even if you don't give me this, I will often come to play with you in the future, haven't you noticed that I often come back these two days?"

"Really?" Shi Fenglan asked with wide eyes.

"Really."

"But you may not play with me when you come back..."

"Of course, I still have my own business to do." After saying that, he immediately added: "Don't say anything, you come to help me, if you say that, I won't come again."

Shi Fenglan, who was about to open her mouth, immediately closed it, nodded and said, "Well..."

"Go and put away the flowers." Jiang Beiran urged.

"You really don't want it? I managed to steal this from the house... No, it's coming."

When Jiang Beiran heard it was full of black lines, he understood the reason why the pre-level high-grade option was triggered. If her family knew that she stole the bird of paradise and gave it to others, he would still live?

"Send it back quickly! Don't do this again in the future."

"Oh, don't worry, my father loves me very much. Even if he knows it, he can only give me two sentences at most. I told him that I like this flower to raise it."

"Hurry! Hurry! Send it back! Go!" Jiang Beiran said word by word.

"Oh..." Shi Fenglan nodded and ran to cover the box.

Seeing the box closed again, it is impossible for Jiang Beiran to say that there is no reluctance in his heart, but no matter how good the baby is, it must be useful. This time it is to collect information on Shi Fenglan and the bird of paradise. Maybe it will come in handy in the future.

Moreover, he couldn't use too high-end treasures for the time being, and even the tools and auxiliary materials for refining the soul infant fruit were all assembled by him. This is even more difficult for the bird of paradise.

"Remember to send it back quickly." Jiang Beiran warned.

"I know, I'll send it back tonight, why are you so afraid of this flower?" Shi Fenglan asked strangely.

"I'm afraid your flower will be stolen."

"I know, I know."

Pushing the box to the corner, Shi Fenglan ran back to push Jiangbei and back then said: "Then let's go gamble, I want to play Huashan Lunjian!"

Back to the hall and sit down, Jiang Beiran just took out the character card from Qiankun Ring when he saw Yu Manwen walking in.

"Yu Hufa." Jiang Beiran nodded towards her~lightnovelpub.net~ and said hello.

Yu Manwen glanced at Jiang Beiran, and asked a little strangely: "You didn't know that the five of them were not here today, so you came here?"

"That's not enough," Jiang Beiran said as he sorted out the character cards.

"I said you hate my disciples so much?"

"I don't want to discuss this."

"All right." Yu Manwen shrugged, "Did you discuss any major issues with the sovereign in the past few days?"

"Oh? Yu Hufa's news is very good, I know it." Jiang Beiran said as he took out the prop card and equipment card.

"Where you need to be informed, the Sovereign attaches great importance to you, the emperor. We all know this."

"So what does Yu Hufa want to ask?"

"I don't have much to ask, I'm just curious about what you said to the Sect Master, so that he can mobilize so many high-level officials to cooperate with you."

"Oh, nothing more." Jiang Beiran finished speaking and took out five character cards and handed them to Yu Manwen: "Are you together?"

Yu Manwen looked at the character card in Jiang Beiran's hand, then looked at the prop card on the table, and asked, "Isn't it time for a knight to bet?"

"Hu Hufa likes to bet that?"

Yu Manwen waved his hand quickly: "It's just a casual question, it's not all the same."

At this time, Shi Fenglan, who was studying the character skills, suddenly raised her head and said: "Why, Manwen, you obviously like your sword fairy. I saw you take it out and play with it the day before yesterday."

"I want to see if she is bad!" Yu Manwen finished speaking and took the character card in Jiang Beiran's hand. "How to bet on this, teach me."
