If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 412 How Are You Going to Defeat Me?

Led by Li Yanmo, a group of people came to...

On the roof of Tianxu Tower, thirty-one people were spread out like thirty-one quilts waiting to be dried in the sun. Jian Xin was holding an umbrella, looking at the scene in front of him with a subtle expression.

Li Yanmo lay in it, thinking to himself, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
Hong Menglian was actually thinking about the same question, but seeing that everyone else looked as if they understood something, Hong Menglian couldn't admit that she didn't quite understand it, so she could only pretend to understand it.

The others looked at the irritable Hong Menglian with a look of peace and enlightenment. Their hearts were trembling wildly, and they all made expressions like "Ah, I think I understand."

At this time, Shen Ziqing and his five companions also arrived. Zhong Sanyuan and his four companions immediately found their respective semi-immortal sect masters from the "quilts" on the roof. They didn't know whether to be shocked by the arrival of thirty semi-immortal sect masters, or to complain why these semi-immortal sect masters treated them like quilts and put them on the roof to dry in the sun.

Dai Qianqiu and others secretly elbowed Zhong Sanyuan's kidneys back and forth, asking Zhong Sanyuan to take the initiative to break the silence, but Zhong Sanyuan was like a huge rock facing the waves, and he didn't move at all, without even a sound.

His master didn't care, because there were still twenty-nine half-immortals lying here! These half-immortals were all the masters of super sects!
These half-immortals were clearly comprehending the world. If he interrupted them at this moment, then he...

It doesn't seem like he will die, but it's better to be cautious about this kind of thing.

Shen Ziqing's eyes flickered for a moment before he coughed, "Master, Brother Zhong wants to play chess with you."

Zhong Sanyuan was horrified and quickly gestured towards Shen Ziqing, but those half-immortals had already sat up and were looking in his direction.

Zhong Sanyuan had no choice but to face the gazes of those half-immortals, and at the same time, he signaled to Kong Pu with his peripheral vision, hoping that Kong Pu could help him.

Kong Pu and Zhong Sanyuan looked at each other for a few seconds before looking up.

Gan——

When Li Yanmo heard that Zhong Sanyuan was coming, he immediately became excited.

Finally, I don’t have to bask in the sun like a moron anymore.

"Brother Zhong, how are you? My chess skills have improved a lot recently."

As soon as Li Yanmo said the words "Brother Zhong", Zhong Sanyuan felt a warmth in his chest, which was caused by the gazes of the thirty half-immortals.

He really couldn't respond to this title in front of these thirty half-immortals.

But Li Yanmo had already spoken, so he couldn't just say "Sir" again and make the relationship that had been so hard to build become even more distant.

Zhong Sanyuan smiled and bowed, "Brother Li, long time no see. It just so happens that I have also learned some chess manuals recently."

"it is good--"

The chessboard fell, and Li Yanmo and Zhong Sanyuan sat on each side, holding the chess pieces.

Behind Li Yanmo stood Shen Ziqing and Jian Xin on each side, while behind Zhong Sanyuan stood thirty semi-immortals.

A drop of cold sweat ran down Zhong Sanyuan's forehead. He could clearly feel that the thirty half-immortals behind him were staring at the chess piece in his hand.

"Snapped--"

Li Yan's last move landed right in the center of the chess piece.

Zhong Sanyuan's eyes bulged, and he looked up at Li Yanmo who was drinking tea with a blank face, and then subconsciously looked at the half-immortals on his body.

Is this the first step in Go?
Kong Pu couldn't help but whispered, "Do you understand the unity of heaven and earth?"

Kong Pu felt extremely ashamed. He had been showing off to others how clever his disciple was just two days ago, but he was frightened and at a loss after being shown the first hand by Li Yanmo.

Although he didn't know why Li Yanmo had to make the first move in the middle when playing Go, was it a problem? Not at all!

Zhong Sanyuan slapped his forehead in annoyance and raised his hand to make a move.

Zhong Sanyuan thought he had played a decent move, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a gasp from behind. Zhong Sanyuan was so startled that he almost lost his grip on his chess piece.

He didn't get off, did he?!
Kong Pu was furious, "Hong Menglian! Please don't deliberately affect Xiao Zhong's performance! My disciple didn't make any mistakes!"

Hong Menglian twisted her neck and said, "I just feel a little uncomfortable. If this really affects him, how can we play chess?"

Kong Pu said "you", but couldn't find any words to refute.

Li Yanmo was helpless for a moment, "Brother Zhong, don't be too nervous, just go ahead."

As he spoke, Li Yanmo placed his piece next to the chess piece in the middle.

Zhong Sanyuan had felt somewhat relieved, but when he saw Li Yanmo's move, he was completely paralyzed.

He had played chess with Li Yanmo during the Chiche period, but Li Yanmo didn't play chess like that at that time.

Could it be that he is using this chess game to hint at something?
The thirty half-immortals behind Zhong Sanyuan nodded one after another.

Zhong Sanyuan's lips moved slightly, but he gave up the idea of asking Kong Pu for help and made his move anyway.

In this way, Li Yanmo and Zhong Sanyuan started to play chess one after another.

The interaction between the black and white pieces cannot be said to be intense. It can only be said that each piece makes its own move, and it does not seem like the same chess game at all.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, Zhong Sanyuan held the chess piece with a subtle expression.

According to a conservative and objective estimate, he should have won. Li Yanmo's chess playing cannot be said to be bad, but it can only be said that he does not look like someone who can play Go.

Go is a game for gentlemen, and there is no clear distinction between winners and losers. All players with dignity will choose to abandon their pieces and admit defeat when they realize that the game is over, rather than playing wherever there is space.

Although Li Yanmo did not leave wherever he was free, Zhong Sanyuan always felt that Li Yanmo was about to do so.

When Li Yanmo picked up the chess piece and was about to make a move, Zhong Sanyuan spoke up, "Brother Li, you lost."

As soon as these words were spoken, the thirty semi-immortals looked at Zhong Sanyuan with higher regard, and even Jian Xin looked at Zhong Sanyuan.

How could Zhong Sanyuan beat Li Yanmo on the chessboard? This is so rude. Zhong Sanyuan should lose, and Li Yanmo must win beautifully.

But Zhong Sanyuan told the truth under pressure.

This kind of mentality is admirable, perhaps this is Li Yanmo's purpose.

Just when Zhong Sanyuan's thoughts came to light, Li Yanmo suddenly picked up the teacup and said calmly, "Brother Zhong, you are mistaken. I won."

Zhong Sanyuan broke out in a sweat and stared at the chessboard intently, but the chess pieces seemed to be spinning. He didn't understand why he lost. The half-immortals standing behind Zhong Sanyuan looked at each other in confusion.

Even Shen Ziqing, who always believed that Li Yanmo would not make mistakes, had a strange look on his face.

Li Yanmo let out a long breath and said calmly, "Brother Zhong, I invited you to play chess, but do you remember what game I invited you to play?"

Zhong Sanyuan was stunned and looked down at the chessboard in front of him. After being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly stood up and finally understood why Li Yanmo said that.

"We're playing Gomoku!?"

Li Yanmo took a sip of tea.

"Brother Zhong, I invite you to join the game. You don't ask what kind of chess it is or what the rules are. You just sit down and start playing."

"How are you going to beat me?"
