Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 181 Invitation

Lu Yuhuan walked back over here, handed the bowl to Old Man Cai, then looked at Li Fan and said, "Mr. Zuo is good at chess?"

Li Fan shook his head and said, "I only know a little bit, and I haven't been in the business for long."

"I want to play a game of chess with you, young master?" Lu Yuhuan asked, then looked at Yue Qingqiu beside her and said, "Is it convenient?"

Yue Qingqiu looked at Lu Yuhuan with some confusion. Why did this woman ask her?

"You ask him." Yue Qingqiu looked at Li Fan.

Li Fan: "..."

"Please come in, Miss Lu." Li Fan smiled and shook his head. Lu Yuhuan did things perfectly, but Yue Qingqiu still couldn't understand the logic behind it.

Lu Yuhuan sat opposite Li Fan and said, "Mr. Zuo, go first."

Li Fan was not polite and made his move.

Lu Yuhuan also made a move and said, "I heard before that a sword cultivator with extraordinary temperament came. Old man Cai mentioned it to me several times, but he never came to visit. Please don't blame me, Mr. Zuo."

"Miss Lu, you're too polite." Li Fan thought to himself, the Lu family is managing the business in Qixing Lane, and they are also managing their network at the same time. He just doesn't know what the purpose of the Lu family attracting the sword cultivators who come here is.

"If you don't mind, you can just call me by my name." Lu Yuhuan played chess very quickly: "Where did you come from, Mr. Zuo?"

"Jiangzhou." Li Fan said.

"Jiangzhou is a beautiful place with many talented people. No wonder the young master and his party are so extraordinary." Lu Yuhuan did not ask any more questions. She stopped there and concentrated on playing chess.

Su Chen watched from the side and he also became curious about Lu Yuhuan.

The daughter of the Lu family seems to be extremely wise.

Lu Yuhuan's chess was very peaceful, with a lot of defense. She gradually frowned and said softly, "Mr. Zuo plays chess with great vigor, and I think the same is true for swordsmanship."

"Ordinary." Li Fan said with a smile.

"Brother Zuo, what realm are you at now?" Su Chen asked curiously.

"Where is Brother Su?" Li Fan did not respond, but asked back.

The two of them were just nodding acquaintances and were not that familiar with each other.

When Su Chen saw Li Fan asking back, he understood what the other party meant. He did not answer, but just smiled, but a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

Why is Zuo Tu, such a young man, surrounded by so many beauties?
If he were a young master from a noble family, he would not behave like this. Moreover, judging from the temperaments of Lu Yuan and Yue Qingqiu, they are definitely not ordinary women.

Therefore, he has always been quite curious about Li Fan and his party, and has been observing them a lot. He just asked tentatively, but didn't want to be turned down.

"I lost."

At this time, Lu Yuhuan gave up and admitted defeat, breaking the awkward situation. She shook her head and said, "I heard from Uncle Cai that Master Zuo has only been learning chess for a short time, but he has already achieved such accomplishments. I believe he will not be bad at swordsmanship either. If there is a chance in the future, I hope Master Zuo will be willing to teach me."

"Miss Lu is modest." Li Fan said with a smile, and then he saw Lu Yuhuan stand up and look at Su Chen: "Mr. Su is the same, if there is a chance, please give me some advice."

"I dare not, let's teach each other." Su Chen replied with a smile.

"Sure." Lu Yuhuan nodded, and then said, "I have another guest to visit, so I'll take my leave now."

"But Tang Huan?" Su Chen asked.

"It is Mr. Tang." Lu Yuhuan did not hide it.

"Understood, Miss Lu, please do as you please." Su Chen smiled, and Lu Yuhuan said goodbye and turned to leave. Yan Qi, who was not far away, stood up and looked at Lu Yuhuan and said, "Yan accepts your kindness."

"It is an honor for our Lu family." Lu Yuhuan seemed very happy and said to Yan Qi, "Uncle Cai, please make all the arrangements for Master Yan."

"Yes, Miss." Old Man Cai nodded in response, squinting his eyes and puffing out smoke, thinking that the young lady was really good at it. In a short while, he had met several sword cultivators and had established closer relationships with them.

Especially Yan Qi, since he agreed to accept the young lady's kindness, he felt a little relieved in his heart.

Lu Yuhuan bowed to Yan Qi, then continued walking forward into the alley.

"I didn't expect Brother Zuo to be such a great chess player." Su Chen praised as he looked at the chessboard. Li Fan said, "He is just getting started, so he is far from being a master."

"Miss Lu is really smart. She left room for maneuver without leaving any trace and without leaving a single leak." Su Chen said again, looking at Li Fan with a meaningful smile.

Li Fan frowned, but then smiled nonchalantly.

Su Chen first praised him for his superb chess skills, and then added this sentence. What did he mean?
If he was really complacent and thought himself extraordinary, then the next sentence would be quite damaging.

Because Lu Yuhuan gave in to him.

This would not only affect his mood, but would also make him hate Lu Yuhuan.

The swordsman in front of him looked like he had a warm smile and was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, but he didn't expect that he was so scheming and wanted to ruin his mood without even making a sound.

However, he had already seen that Lu Yuhuan had given in to him, and he had never been complacent about his chess skills.

Su Chen wanted to ruin his mood, but he underestimated him.

"Brother Zuo, do you know who Tang Huan is?" Su Chen continued to ask.

"I know." Li Fan nodded: "Someone on the Qingyun Ranking."

"That's right." Su Chen smiled and nodded. "Among the thirty-six people on the Azure Cloud Ranking, Tang Huan ranks last. He is also the youngest genius swordsman on the Azure Cloud Ranking. His ranking will definitely move up in the future. It seems that Miss Lu has put more energy on Tang Huan."

This statement seemed to imply that playing chess with him was just a perfunctory act, and the person Lu Yuhuan really cared about was Tang Huan.

This Su Chen... "Maybe Miss Lu is young and her vision is limited." Li Fan said with a smile.

"Oh?" Su Chen looked at Li Fan with interest, a triumphant smile flashed in the depths of his eyes, and asked with a smile: "It seems that Brother Zuo is very confident in himself."

Li Fan shook his head.

"No?" Su Chen was puzzled. If that was the case, what did Li Fan mean by that sentence?

"Miss Lu should focus more on Brother Su. You are a little bit inconsiderate." Li Fan said, then stood up with a smile and said to Yue Qingqiu, "Qingqiu, go back."

"Yeah." Yue Qingqiu nodded slightly and left with Li Fan.

The smile on Su Chen's face froze there, changing mood, but then he smiled again, but that smile gave people a sense of coldness.

Something interesting...

Li Fan didn't bother to pay attention to Su Chen's thoughts. He had no grudges against the other party, but Su Chen was playing tricks on him.

That being the case, he would not indulge the other party.

A gentleman disdains to associate with villains.

"What were you talking about just now?" Yue Qingqiu asked, "Why can't I understand?"

She found it difficult to digest the complex language of humans.

"You don't have to understand. You just need to remember that that person is not a good person." Li Fan said softly.

"Oh." Yue Qingqiu nodded and memorized it secretly.

…………

A few days later, in the morning, Li Fan walked out of the room and came to the yard, and saw a vast expanse of white outside.

Winter snow in December.

Li Fan looked towards the courtyard and saw Yue Qingqiu standing in the snow, with snowflakes flying and falling on her body, adding a bit of beauty.

"Have you never seen snow before?" Li Fan asked.

Yue Qingqiu shook his head. It had never snowed in Yunmengze.

"It looks very good." Yue Qingqiu whispered.

Li Fan nodded and said, "You can go up there and take a look. It might be more beautiful."

"Up there?" Yue Qingqiu looked at him.

"In the air." Li Fan replied, Yue Qingqiu nodded, her figure flashed, and she jumped into the air. With a stunning look, Li Fan looked up at her.

Lu Yuan also came out at this time and said, "Don't you want to go up and take a look?"

"You can see it if you release your spiritual consciousness." Li Fan said with a smile.

Lu Yuan stepped into the snow, a sword appeared in his hand, he stretched out his arm, snowflakes fell on the sword, and he danced with the sword.

Lu Yuan is good at the power of Taiyin, which is in harmony with the snow. Perhaps he was inspired and wanted to try the sword.

Li Fan looked at the beautiful scene in front of him and had the illusion that life was peaceful and tranquil.

However, it was only for a moment.

All good things are short-lived.

Will it snow in the Imperial City of Dali?
What is senior sister doing now?

Thinking of his senior sister, a smile appeared involuntarily in Li Fan's eyes. He suddenly realized that he had not seen his senior sister for a long time.

In the past, it had never been so long that his senior sister always took him with her.

Now, he has gone out to explore the world.

"Mr. Zuo." At this time, a voice appeared outside the courtyard gate. Mr. Cai walked in and saw the beautiful scene in front of him. He was stunned for a moment. When he looked at Li Fan, there was a meaningful smile in his eyes.

It’s great to be a teenager.

"What's the matter, Mr. Cai, so early in the morning?" Li Fan asked.

"The young lady asked me to come earlier to inform you in case of delays." Old Man Cai said, "Master Zuo, are you free today? The young lady invites you to come to the mansion for a chat."

"Is there anything wrong?" Li Fan asked.

"The young lady said that she would not only invite Mr. Zuo, but also other sword cultivators to join the party of drinking wine, appreciating the snow, and discussing swords. Mr. Tang, the genius sword cultivator on the Qingyun List, will also go." said Old Man Cai.

"Okay, I'll go." Li Fan responded with a smile.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zuo for your honor. Someone will come to pick you up then." Old man Cai said with a smile, then said goodbye and left.

"Drinking wine, appreciating the snow, and discussing swordplay?" Lu Yuan paused and said softly, "This Miss Lu has quite a refined taste."

"Let's go take a look together?" Li Fan said, "I have been in Scarlet Sky City for quite some time and have never been exposed to the outside world. This is a good opportunity to take a look at the sword cultivators in Scarlet Sky City and the sword cultivators on the Azure Cloud Ranking."

"Okay, let's go take a look together." Lu Yuan nodded in agreement. As a fellow swordsman, she was naturally curious.
