She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 131: Being a Backer, the Golden Finger Old Lady Xie Lian

The aura emanating from each of these people made Xia Wuji tremble.

The lowest is the late Jindan stage, and the vast majority are Yuanying cultivators!

But before Xia Wuji could feel nervous, he discovered a strange phenomenon.

“What are these people doing?”

Xia Wuji was stunned to find that there was a chessboard in front of these cultivators, and they seemed to be playing chess against an illusory white figure.

Everyone had frowned brows and looked as if they were racking their brains.

"Why are they all playing chess?!"

Xia Wuji was a little confused. Wasn't the Wusheng Emperor's cave open? Why was it like a national chess competition, with everyone competing in chess skills? !

Suddenly, Xia Wuji saw a familiar figure.

Fairy Tan Tai!

Tantai Qingyin also sat cross-legged in front of a chessboard, her beautiful face slightly frowned, looking as if she was deep in thought.

"Light"

Xia Wuji was about to call out to Tan Tai Qingyin with joy when a huge spiritual consciousness suddenly swept over.

Xia Wuji couldn't help but shiver, and when he turned around, he met the cold eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The latter's murderous eyes seemed to warn him, "Boy, don't make noise."

Xia Wuji quickly shut up.

After looking at it for a while, Xia Wuji almost understood it.

These people should be undergoing the test after the opening of the cave of Emperor Wusheng. Perhaps they have to defeat the white figure to complete the test and be qualified to enter the cave and receive the mantle of Emperor Wusheng.

Such things are not uncommon in the world of cultivation.

Many senior masters would set up some strange tests to torture later monks. Only those who passed the tests could get the things he left behind, which they called "fate".

"Could it be that all the great seniors like to play chess?"

Xia Wuji muttered softly. He had just come back from playing chess with a senior who had frozen watermelons with black water crystals and whose cultivation level was unfathomable. He didn't expect that the people in the cave of Emperor Wusheng also wanted him to play chess.

Although Xia Wuji had no confidence in his chess skills, he had to give it a try since he was already here.

So he found a chessboard and sat down.

The illusory figure playing chess with him looked down upon and seemed to have no emotion at all.

Xia Wuji picked up a chess piece and placed it on the board, and the illusory figure also placed a piece shortly after.

Soon, Xia Wuji and the illusory figure started playing chess, one piece at a time.

But gradually, Xia Wuji's speed of making moves became slower and slower, and his brows slowly furrowed.

Now he finally understood why all the monks in the room looked like they were deep in thought.

The opponent of this illusory figure is really too good at chess!
The techniques it used were something Xia Wuji had never heard of or seen before. After only a few dozen moves, he was forced into a desperate situation and was on the verge of defeat.

"It seems that this opportunity is not for me, alas"

Xia Wuji thought for a long time but couldn't figure out a solution. He sighed and was about to give up and admit defeat.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and a bold idea emerged.

"What if...what if I write down this chess game and go back to ask Senior Xie for a solution?
Senior Xie’s cultivation is unfathomable, and his chess skills should be strong too. Maybe he can crack it?
I just don’t know if I’ll be allowed to leave after the game starts.”

Xia Wuji's heart began to beat wildly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.

When you use a master to deal with another master, it all depends on who is taller!

Xia Wuji felt that he was simply a genius!

"Let's give it a try. We'll give it a try!"

Xia Wuji made up his mind, stood up from the chessboard, set up his escape light and rushed back -
It’s difficult, it’s too difficult.

Tan Tai Qing Yin found helplessly that although he thought he had made full preparations, he still underestimated the chess attainments of Emperor Wu Sheng.

She studied a lot of ancient chess manuals along the way, and felt that she was not inferior to the chess masters in the secular world.

But he didn't expect that he would be in a dead end after only a few dozen moves.

Come to think of it, since Emperor Wusheng was able to enter the Tao through chess, his chess skills must have reached a superb level long ago. How could she easily crack him?

Tan Tai Qing Yin racked her brains but couldn't figure out how to break the impasse. She stroked her forehead with her hand and raised her head, trying to relax.

As a result, as soon as she raised her head, she saw a white light suddenly shot up into the sky from a certain direction in the field.

Yu Xuanji was bathed in a white light, and countless spiritual energy swarmed towards her. The illusory figure in front of her quietly shattered, and a black jade plate slowly flew out of it and fell into her hand.

There seemed to be a faint "one" engraved on the jade plate.

Tan Tai Qing Yin's heart was shaken, with deep shock in his eyes.

Yu Xuanji, has the situation been resolved?!

The other cultivators on the field also raised their heads and looked in the direction of Yu Xuanji, each with a look of unwillingness and envy on their face.

"Hey, someone has already broken through!"

"As expected of Yu Xuanji, he was able to beat this chess slave. I was about to lose after only thirty moves..."

"You can still go on for more than thirty moves, but I will die after twenty moves."

Everyone was talking about it. Since someone had already cracked the game, they felt there was no hope, so they simply dropped the chess pieces in their hands and stood up.

The black jade token that Yu Xuanji obtained should be the certificate that allows her to pass the test and enter the cave.

It is conceivable that what will happen next is that she will enter the cave and return with a load of treasures.

Tan Tai Qing Yin was also somewhat disheartened, so he shook his head and stood up.

But what no one expected was that after Yu Xuanji got the black jade token, the chessboard in front of her did not disappear, but a new chess slave appeared, sat in front of her, holding the chess pieces and inviting her to join him.

"what?!"

Everyone looked stunned.

“It’s not over yet?!”

"It turns out there is more than one test, and more than one chess game to solve!"

"We still have a chance!"

Now all the monks hurriedly sat down again and continued to ponder along the same lines as before.

Fortunately, after the game begins, as long as you don't make a dead end and admit defeat completely, the chess slaves will assume that you are still qualified to continue to accept the test.

Tan Tai Qingyin was also cheered up. As long as Yu Xuanji had not truly obtained the cave inheritance of Emperor Wusheng, she still had a chance.

Never give up until the last moment.

Tan Tai Qing Yin pondered over the chess game for a while but still had no clue, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Yu Xuan Ji.

I saw Yu Xuanji actually stood up from her seat.

"What is she going to do?"

Tantai Qingyin blinked, somewhat confused.

Yu Xuanji boarded her own ship, and after a while, she came down with an energetic old man.

"Mr. Xiao..."

The old man had only reached the Golden Core stage of cultivation, but Yu Xuanji was quite polite to him.

"I can only crack one of Wusheng Emperor's nine-death chess games at best. I am powerless to solve the rest. I can only rely on you..."

"Don't worry, young lady. I will do my best."

The old man's eyes gleamed, and he said confidently, "I have been practicing chess for hundreds of years, and I have solved countless endgames and deadlocks. I have long wanted to see the Nine Deaths Chess Game created by the legendary Wusheng Emperor, who entered the Dao through chess, which is said to be able to trap and kill immortals.

I would like to thank Miss for helping me today."

Yu Xuanji smiled slightly, "Mr. Xiao, you are too polite."

Immediately afterwards, the old man Jindan sat down in the seat that originally belonged to Yu Xuanji.

"What?! Is this even possible?!"

Tan Tai Qing Yin, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but let out a low cry.

Of course, she was not the only one who exclaimed.

"Can you find someone to take over?"

"That means it's no problem to find help!"

"That's great, come on, fellow Taoists, let's study together!"

Yu Xuanji's action of asking an assistant to play chess for her as a test opened up a new world and a new idea for all the monks present.

The monks no longer sat in front of the chessboard and pondered alone, but began to walk around and discuss with each other.

Tantai Qingyin couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "The Great Emperor Wusheng must be extremely confident in the chess game he set up, so it doesn't matter whether it is one person or a group of people who crack his chess game.
Sayings

Tan Tai Qing Yin suddenly changed her mind and muttered to herself, "Is it too late for me to go to the cultivation world or the secular world to ask a few chess masters to help me?"

"Senior! Senior!"

Xia Wuji flew to the foot of the Mayfly Mountain like a gust of wind, pressed the escape light at the door of "Lianyue Shop", and then shouted a few times.

After a while, an elegant and lazy voice came from inside.

"Come in and talk."

"Hey."

Xia Wuji hurriedly walked in and turned to the backyard, where he saw Xie Lian sitting in front of a brush and ink, seemingly preparing to write or paint.

"It is you."

Xie Lian looked at Xia Wuji who was alone and asked casually, "Is Xi'er not here?"

"Miss Yun is in seclusion, so I'm alone."

Xia Wuji walked up to Xie Lian with a big smile on his face, picked up the ink block on the table diligently, and said, "Senior, let me grind the ink for you."

Xie Lian was a little speechless.

As the old saying goes: Red sleeves add fragrance, and white hands carry ink.

Xia Wuji, a grown man, was grinding ink for her, which made her lose all interest in writing.

Reluctantly putting down his pen, Xie Lian looked at Xia Wuji and asked, "Tell me, what exactly did you come to see me about?"

"Senior is indeed very smart. He immediately saw that Wuji wanted to ask for something."

There's something wrong with this kid.

Xie Lian glanced at Xia Wuji's eyes full of desire, and a chill ran down his spine.

Xia Wuji said pitifully: "Senior, I was playing chess with someone, but I couldn't beat him, so I had to come to you for advice."

You are having trouble playing chess with someone, so you come to me for help?
Xie Lian glanced at Xia Wuji with a strange expression on his face, muttering in his heart: With your poor chess playing level, anyone who has learned chess for a few days can beat you.

He is so bad at playing chess, but he still looks for people to play with every day. When he can't win, he comes to me for help. He is really weird.

Xie Lian really didn't want to pay attention to Xia Wuji, but looking at Xia Wuji's pitiful and expectant eyes,
Why.
No matter what, Xia Wuji's love for chess is worthy of recognition.

I would like to ask, is there anyone in the world who is so bad at chess but still enjoys looking for people to play chess with and remains so passionate about chess? !
The key is the way Xia Wuji looks at him.

Anxious and expectant, he is like a desperate gambler trying to grab the only straw in front of him.

This look made Xie Lian doubt.
Could it be that Xia Wuji, this stupid guy, is going to gamble with others in a game of chess? !

very possible!
Judging from this guy's appearance, clothes, and temperament, he is a typical rich and powerful person.

Young people are very concerned about their reputation and might fall into someone's trap once they are provoked. I guess they are gambling a lot, otherwise they wouldn't be so anxious.

Thinking of this, Xie Lian glanced at Xia Wuji and said calmly, "You are quite smart. You actually came to me for something like this."

Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to look Xie Lian in the eye, and he stammered, "Senior, you already know everything."

Ha, sure enough.

It turned out that I was betting on chess with someone, and my guess was correct.

Xie Lian shook his head, thought for a moment, and said to Xia Wuji in a serious tone, “Since you and Xi’er are friends, you can also call me senior. I will help you this time, but... this won’t happen again.”

Xie Lian’s meaning was very clear.

I can understand that young people are full of vigor. I will help you this time when you are cheated. But if you are still naive next time, go and cry on your own.

When Xia Wuji heard this, he felt ashamed and happy.

As expected, Senior Xie had already figured it out.

Yes, the cave of the Wusheng Emperor is near the Mayfly Mountain. How could Senior Xie not know about it? It’s just that she simply didn’t bother to go and get it.

He is willing to help me, probably because he wants to give me a hand. Who hasn't come from the Golden Core Realm? Who hasn't used all means and tried their best to fight for an opportunity when their cultivation level was low?

Thinking of this, Xia Wuji was convinced and said sincerely: "Senior, I swear, this is just one time, I will never ask you for help for this kind of thing next time."

"It's better this way..."

Xie Lian shook her head. She knew that if people like Xia Wuji didn’t change their stupid habits, they would be cheated sooner or later.

"Tell me, how can I help you?"

Xie Lian asked casually, "Do you want me to go with you?"

When Xia Wuji heard this, he shuddered all over.

"How dare I trouble you to go there in person..."

Xia Wuji quickly took out two translucent beads from the storage bracelet.

"This is the new two-world bead from Wanbao Pavilion. As long as one person holds a bead, they can see the scene on the other side and communicate with the other party. It is said that the highest standard can even cross two worlds. My set is not that powerful, but it can communicate within a radius of a thousand miles without any problem.

Senior, you don't have to go anywhere, just stay here and give me some advice from behind."

Xia Wuji handed the bead to Xie Lian with great trepidation, fearing that any of his excessive actions would anger Xie Lian, and his every move and word were cautious.

To be honest, Xia Wuji is still a little dizzy now.

I couldn't believe that Senior Xie actually agreed to such an impolite request.

Xie Lian played with the Two Realms Pearl that Xia Wuji gave her and found it quite novel.

"That senior"

Xia Wuji asked cautiously: "I'll just...go over first?!"

Xie Lian didn’t even bother to look at him and just waved his hand casually.

Xia Wuji was overjoyed and ran out of the yard quickly, disappearing in a flash.

Xia Wuji quickly returned to the secluded valley.

The situation in the valley at this time was very different from when he left. It was no longer a quiet and depressing atmosphere, but instead was as noisy as a vegetable market.

"Oops, this move is wrong! You should have listened to me and not done this way!" The high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivators gathered in groups of three or five, discussing intensely around a chessboard, sometimes frustrated and sometimes delighted.

Some monks fiercely pressed a few mortals who were trembling with fear to the side of the chessboard, and shouted: "Hurry up, aren't you also known as chess masters? How can you not solve such a simple chess game?!"

Even the fairy Tan Tai, whom he had always admired, had a few more mortals around her, and was discussing something with them in gentle words.

Is the method I came up with correct?!

Can I really ask someone for help with this test?!

Xia Wuji was stunned for a moment, then joy appeared on his face. He wanted to put his hands on his hips and laugh out loud.

Looking at the countless cultivators in the field who were in a state of panic, Xia Wuji suddenly felt a huge sense of superiority in his heart.

Haha, what’s the use of inviting more people? Are they as capable as me? I have the mysterious senior Xie behind me guiding me.

Haha, thank you for your help, senior. I, Xia Wuji, will definitely get this opportunity!
Xia Wuji sat down happily in his original position. The chess game remained unchanged, just as it was when he started.

He quietly grasped the Two Worlds Pearl and called out in his heart, "Senior, can you hear me?"

Soon, a gentle voice sounded.

"can."

Xia Wuji suddenly became alert and prepared to start.
A chessboard appeared clearly before Xie Lian’s eyes.

It was as if he was sharing Xia Wuji's vision, which was quite magical.

"Why is it just like helping others cheat on exams in my previous life..."

Xie Lian muttered.

"Senior, what did you say?"

Xia Wuji's voice rang in his mind. Xie Lian quickly coughed and said calmly, "I will teach you how to play next. You just play it the same way."

"Yes Yes."

The opponent who was playing chess with Xia Wuji was quite capable. His chess skills were cunning and he set traps one after another. Not to mention a poor chess player like Xia Wuji, even an ordinary chess master would probably fall into his trap and be stuck.

It was obvious that Xia Wuji had looked for someone else before looking for himself, and had already reached a dead end.

No wonder he was so anxious, there was really nothing he could do.

Although she was mainly observing Jin Chanzi in the Wuliang World of Shanhe Shejitu, she still cultivated many wonderful methods, magical powers, and Taoism. Moreover, she was cultivated by the Mother Goddess of Creation and was blessed by heaven and earth.
Take chess for example.
Her chess skills have long reached the level of "returning to nature", close to the highest realm of Taoism.

For her, breaking this deadlock is as easy as eating and drinking.

"Next, you make your move."

Xie Lian's calm and gentle voice kept ringing in Xia Wuji's mind, and Xia Wuji followed Xie Lian's instructions step by step.

Very quickly, after just two or three steps, the view before my eyes suddenly became clear.

A few more steps and the situation had completely reversed.

"Great!"

Xia Wuji couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly, his inner excitement and joy were beyond words.

"As expected of you, Senior Xie. Your chess skills have long reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people. Even the test set by the Wusheng Emperor is useless to you. I have really found the right person this time."

Xia Wuji was so happy that his heart was filled with joy.

"It's done! I finally solved it!"

Even Tan Tai Qingyin couldn't help but feel a little excited and happy when he saw the chess game that had originally trapped him was solved.

The chess slave was broken into pieces, and a black jade plate with the word "one" written on it appeared, which she gently held.

Suddenly, many astonished and envious glances were cast over.

"Fairy Tan Tai has also solved the first game!"

"Ah, I didn't expect that the fairy, with her celestial beauty, is also so good at chess. She is truly a gifted person."

"We have to hurry up too!"

Tantai Qingyin was also quite happy, and turned around to sincerely thank the several chess masters she had invited from the secular world.

"Thank you very much for your help, Qingyin is grateful."

These chess masters were all mortals. They were sitting at home when suddenly a figure as beautiful as a fairy descended from the sky and abducted them here.

Fortunately, this fairy was not only extremely beautiful, but also kind-hearted. She treated them very politely, only asking them to help her play chess. She promised to send them back afterwards and also gave them some elixirs to prolong their life.

For them, it was an unexpected opportunity.

Their luck was relatively good, but the other mortal chess players next to them had bad luck with the right people. They were almost forced to play chess with a knife at their necks, and their whole bodies trembled after every move they made.

I don’t know what happened to these monks who were once elusive and high and mighty. They are all gathered in this remote place to play chess. I really don’t understand.

"Since the chess game has been solved, can the fairy let us go back?"

An old and frail chess player spoke respectfully to Tan Tai Qing Yin.

Tan Tai Qing Yin said, "Don't worry, gentlemen. We still have a chess game that needs your help..."

"what?!"

Several chess players looked surprised, and then expressions of bitterness and helplessness appeared on their faces.

The chess game they just played was the most amazing thing they had ever seen in their lives. It took them all the collective wisdom and racking of their brains to crack it. But there was another chess game to come. What should they do with this one?

There is no other way. I have to go ahead with the monk's request even if it is impossible.

Several people shook their heads and could only continue to focus on the new round of chess in front of them.

Tan Tai Qing Yin was also somewhat helpless.

If she had her own way, why would she need to coerce a few mortals? She was forced into it.

"Shh-"

A white light lit up, and there was a commotion on the field.

Tan Tai Qing Yin looked up and saw that Yu Xuan Ji's black jade token had changed again.

From the original "one" to "two".

Yu Xuanji has already won two games!
The old man with the Golden Core level under her command was surprisingly good at chess.

Tan Tai Qing Yin sighed in her heart. Although she was behind, she still didn't want to give up and tried her best.

Just as Tan Tai Qing Yin was about to continue, suddenly another white light appeared in the field.

The familiar black jade plate..
In an instant, countless eyes converged on one person.

I saw a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes, with the cultivation level of Jindan realm, who was holding the jade token and laughing foolishly.

There was no one around the young man, and it was obvious that he had solved the chess game entirely by his own strength.

"The third person to solve the first game of the Nine Deaths Chess Game!"

"Hiss, who is this kid? His chess skills are so advanced. Apart from Yu Xuanji, he is the only one who solved the first game completely by himself. Even a figure like Fairy Tan Tai couldn't do it."

"This kid doesn't look very smart, but I didn't expect him to be so talented."

Tan Tai Qing Yin also opened her eyes wide, with a slightly surprised expression on her face.

Is it him? !
Xia Wuji, the third prince of the Great Xia Kingdom!

Tan Tai Qing Yin really didn't expect that Xia Wuji, who looked like an uneducated and undisciplined young man, was actually so good at playing chess, almost as good as Yu Xuanji.

“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.”

Tantai Qingyin thought silently in her heart.
Listening to the bursts of exclamations ringing in his ears, Xia Wuji felt as if he had drunk a sip of cool and sweet mountain spring water on a hot summer day, and he felt refreshed from head to toe.

He had never experienced this feeling of being noticed by so many Nascent Soul cultivators whose cultivation levels far exceeded his own.

Fairy Tan Tai, Fairy Tan Tai seemed to be looking at him as well.

There was a breeze under Xia Wuji's feet and he almost floated up.

"Is it okay?"

A calm and gentle voice sounded in his heart, and Xia Wuji woke up as if from a dream.

Senior Xie is still here, I almost got carried away.

"Okay, there's still one more round!"

Xia Wuji had already seen the second chess slave waiting leisurely for him to make his move.

"besides.."

Xie Lian frowned slightly and couldn’t help asking, “How many games do we have to play in total?”

“No, I don’t know.”

Xia Wuji replied cautiously: "Probably, keep going until the other side admits defeat."

Xia Wuji was filled with anxiety, fearing that Senior Xie would find it troublesome and stop helping him.

Fortunately, the voice on the other end was silent for a while, and finally said: "Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so I can kill time with this."

"call"

Xia Wuji let out a long sigh of relief, but he couldn't stop admiring and respecting her in his heart.

As expected of Senior Xie, the chess game test left by the legendary Emperor Wusheng was just something for her to pass the time.

Senior Xie’s realm is truly high!

This wave is stable!
Beside the chessboard, the white-haired old man frowned, his face full of wrinkles like dry tree bark.

Yu Xuanji felt quite reluctant watching from the side.

She saw with her own eyes how Old Xiao walked down from the flying boat in high spirits, and then how he quickly aged into the current appearance within just a few days.

It’s too difficult to break the deadlock!
Especially to crack the nine-death chess game left by a peerless figure like Emperor Wusheng, the effort required is unimaginable.

Old Xiao is already burning his life thinking of a way out.

The old man Jindan grabbed a piece and, with a trembling arm, he placed it onto the chessboard with great difficulty.

A tiny chess piece seems to weigh more than a thousand pounds.

During this process, the few remaining gray hairs on the old man's head turned snow-white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fell off one by one.

The whole person was like an old dying tree, withering and dying quickly.

Yu Xuanji's heart was in her throat. She stopped waving the folding fan in her hand and stared at the chess board without blinking.

Finally, the white chess piece fell, and large areas of black pieces on the chessboard disappeared.

The third round of the Nine Deaths Chess Game has been solved!
"call"

Both Yu Xuanji and the old man had expressions of joy as if a burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you for your hard work!"

Yu Xuanji immediately took out bottles of pills from her storage bracelet and handed them to the old man.

These are all life-extending pills, used to make up for the old man's energy and lifespan consumed in breaking the impasse. Only the wealthy Wanbao Pavilion could take out so many at once.

Old Xiao took the longevity pill handed over by Yu Xuanji and slowly swallowed it, while he said with emotion: "It is worthy of being a nine-death chess game that can trap and kill immortals. I almost burned up the rest of my life before I could barely solve the third game.

A game of nine-death chess is ten or a hundred times more difficult than the previous one.

Miss, if we want to completely solve this chess game today, I'm afraid it will take an immortal to descend to earth to do it."

"The Great Emperor Wusheng is truly a chess master!"

Mr. Xiao's words were full of admiration and awe.

Yu Xuanji replied: "Being able to solve three games is enough to prove Mr. Xiao's ability. Mr. Xiao does not need to feel burdened. Just do your best."

Old Xiao nodded, "I will definitely do my best."

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a commotion nearby and bursts of exclamations.

"Oh my god, the fourth game is broken too!"

"It's terrible. I didn't expect that this kid, who is so young and has mediocre skills, has such unfathomable attainments in chess!"

"This kid is not simple!"

Yu Xuanji and Xiao Lao turned their heads to look, but their expressions suddenly froze, with disbelief in their eyes and shock on their faces.

"How can this be?!"

I saw a handsome young man with a smile on his face surrounded by a group of monks. In front of him, a black jade plate was floating.

New strokes are slowly emerging on the jade plate.

The four strokes just form the character "无" (meaning "nothing") written in silver and iron strokes.

There is one more thing than the black jade plate in Yu Xuanji's hand. It is the certificate for solving the fourth game of the Nine Deaths Chess Game.

"Hiss."

Yu Xuanji took a breath of cold air.

Xiao Lao beside her was struck by lightning, and his whole body was in a state of dismay. He kept muttering, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. I burned a hundred years of my life to barely solve the third game, but this person has already solved the fourth game.
How can this be"

Old Xiao suffered an unprecedented huge blow in the area where he was most confident, and his spiritual heart was almost on the verge of collapse.

Xia Wuji has simply reached the pinnacle of his life.

Countless gazes filled with shock, admiration, and amazement surrounded him, and they all came from Nascent Soul cultivators whose cultivation was far higher than his own.

This made him feel like the moon surrounded by stars, with a dazzling halo surrounding him and shining brightly.

Xia Wuji suppressed his inner elation and tried to act calmly as he casually grabbed the black jade token in his hand.

He saw Tan Tai Qingyin walking towards him with a complicated expression and a look of shock on her face. His little heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.

"I didn't expect that Prince Xia was so talented. Qingyin is really amazed. After this incident, I wonder if Qingyin can ask Prince Xia for advice on chess skills."

"It's easy to talk about."

Xia Wuji replied quickly and agreed without hesitation.

Even the fairies and goddesses he had always dreamed of changed their attitudes towards him and showed him more favor. Xia Wuji was so overwhelmed by the beauty that he almost lost his way.

At this moment, a somewhat impatient voice sounded in Xia Wuji's heart.

"Boy, do you still want to play chess?"

It’s the senior!
Xia Wuji shuddered and woke up suddenly.

He has not forgotten who gave him everything he has now. It was Senior Xie.

Without Senior Xie, I would not have been able to solve the nine-death chess game, and Fairy Tan Tai would not even look at me.

"Next, please be patient, senior."

Xia Wuji quickly sat down beside the chessboard.
