Reborn as Lin Pingzhi, starting from escorting Daiyu to the capital.

Lin Daiyu then made her move.

With the first two moves made, the situation gradually became clearer and more open.

She completely shed her previous frowning and thoughtful expression, and her whole demeanor became radiant.

Su Xinghe, on the other hand, showed a mixture of joy and anxiety in his expression.

The two players made more than ten more moves in succession, and the white pieces' advantage became increasingly obvious.

Upon seeing this, everyone's faces showed admiration.

If Lin Daiyu's previous moves were based on the experience of her predecessors, and the two moves in the middle were by chance, then this moment is a full display of Lin Daiyu's personal chess skills.

"This Lin Zhishen, at such a young age, already possesses such extraordinary chess skills!"

After placing six more pieces, Lin Daiyu suddenly and gracefully placed her white piece on the "upper" position, on the seventh or eighth line, then clapped her hands and laughed:

"Mr. Clever Argumentator, have I succeeded?"

This game of chess was full of twists and turns, but she finally lived up to expectations and completed the mission.

More importantly, through this experience, her character was further tempered and improved.

Su Xinghe was taken aback, then smiled broadly and clasped his hands in praise:

"Young Master Lin is exceptionally gifted and a truly outstanding talent; congratulations!"

Lin Daiyu humbly replied, "Mr. Congbian, you flatter me."

To everyone's surprise, the intricate chess puzzle was broken just like that, and they couldn't help but exclaim, "It's fate, truly fate!"

This sigh, to Duan Yanqing and Ding Chunqiu, was undoubtedly a huge irony.

The two had each harbored their own ulterior motives and schemed meticulously, but in the end, they ended up with nothing.

Seeing that the game was over, Duan Yu couldn't help but look at Wang Yuyan, hoping that she would let him stay.

Wang Yuyan stared intently at Murong Fu, as if he were the only person left in the entire world.

Murong Fu stared at the chessboard, thinking to himself, "I could have come up with those moves too. This kid just got lucky."

Su Xinghe stood up and said, "My master set up this puzzle, and for decades no one has been able to solve it. I am extremely grateful to Young Master Lin for solving this intricate puzzle."

Lin Daiyu quickly replied that she didn't deserve such praise.

Su Xinghe stood up and walked to the three wooden houses, gesturing politely, "Young Master Lin, please come in!"

Lin Daiyu was quite puzzled to see that the three wooden houses had no doors or windows. Although she had heard that there were benefits to solving the Zhenlong Chess Puzzle, Lin Pingzhi had not explained what those benefits were.

She looked at Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "Take one step forward and you'll find a vast and boundless future. Go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu stepped forward, unleashing her Heaven-Turning Palm technique, and was about to strike the wooden door.

Suddenly.

Tao Ganxian's voice rang out: "Wait, what's strange about this place? Let's go and take a look first."

Six figures rushed towards the wooden house like the wind.

"what?"

Lin Pingzhi suddenly said in a surprised tone.

"What the heck?"

The six immortals of Peach Valley stopped in their tracks and asked in unison.

Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "I saw six mice chasing a cat."

Peach Root Immortal asked, "A mouse chasing a cat? Where?"

Peach Blossom Fairy said urgently, "Tell us quickly."

Lin Pingzhi pointed ahead and said, "It's over there. You won't be able to see it if you're late."

Before he could finish speaking, the six figures had already rushed off in that direction.

Lin Daiyu struck the wooden door with her palm again, and everyone was somewhat disappointed to see that her internal strength was mediocre.

With a crack, a large crack appeared in the door panel.

Lin Daiyu stepped inside.

Suddenly, Ding Chunqiu's voice came from behind:

"This is the entrance to our sect; outsiders are not allowed to enter at will."

After careful consideration, Ding Chunqiu finally made his move.

Lin Daiyu felt a gust of wind sweep behind her, and her body involuntarily staggered backward. Just as she was startled, she heard Lin Pingzhi's reassuring voice: "What's with the arrogance, traitor!"

Suddenly, several loud bangs were heard, indicating that the two were fighting.

"Cousin, go in without worry. I'll take care of things here," Lin Pingzhi's voice rang out again.

Lin Daiyu immediately relaxed and continued walking inside.

After walking for a while, they came to a hollow place, pitch black all around. Just as they were wondering what was going on, they heard an old, deep voice coming from behind the wooden wall:

"Those who are destined to come in, please enter."

Lin Daiyu respectfully said, "Please, senior, show me the way."

The voice said, "You forged your own path; no one can teach you. This chess game I set up has remained unsolved for decades, but today I've finally unraveled it for you, and you still won't come to your senses!"

Lin Daiyu already knew about the grudges of the Free and Unfettered Sect from Lin Pingzhi, but she still asked curiously:

"Is the esteemed elder Mr. Wuyazi?"

This time, it was Wuyazi's turn to be surprised: "How do you know my name?"

Only Su Xinghe knew that he was alive, and Su Xinghe would never reveal this information.

Lin Daiyu stuck out her tongue and said, "I heard it from my cousin."

Wu Yazi asked, "Who is your cousin?"

Lin Daiyu said, "He is the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Fuwei镖局 (escort agency), named Lin Pingzhi."

"The Fuwei Escort Agency is actually a descendant of Lin Yuantu."

Wu Yazi remained silent for a while before speaking, "Forget it, this is not the time to delve into these matters. I have waited for thirty years, and I don't have much time left to wait for you. My dear child, come in quickly."

Although Lin Daiyu did not know the other party's purpose, she heard Lin Pingzhi say that this trip would only bring benefits, so she stopped thinking about it and slapped the wall with her palm.

With a crackling sound, a hole immediately appeared in the wooden wall, which had decayed over time.

Upon entering, Lin Daiyu was immediately taken aback.

Inside was another empty room, with Wu Yazi sitting alone in mid-air.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Wu Yazi was bound by a black rope, the other end of which was connected to a crossbeam, suspending his body in mid-air.

Wu Yazi was overjoyed to see Daiyu's face clearly:

"Very good, very good, indeed a young talent, but perhaps a little too young."

Then, he muttered to himself, "That man prefers young, handsome men. You might have a chance if you go a few years later."

Wu Yazi asked kindly, "Who are the people who have come to participate in the Precious Chess Game today?"

Lin Daiyu recited everyone's names one by one.

Wu Yazi pondered for a moment and said, "So Murong Fu has come too. I've heard that there's a very skilled martial artist named Qiao Feng in recent years. Didn't he come?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head.

Wu Yazi asked, "How did you solve the Precious Chess Formation?" Since he had already decided to pass on his skills to Lin Daiyu, he decided to first understand her character.

Lin Daiyu recounted the details one by one.

Wu Yazi was taken aback: "So, you solved this Precious Chess Puzzle purely by chance?"

Lin Daiyu said, "This junior dares not take credit; it is indeed so."

"It's fate, it's fate," Wu Yazi sighed. "If you weren't a master of chess, you wouldn't have been able to solve this intricate chess puzzle."

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he asked curiously, "You mean your cousin defeated Hong Antong?"

Lin Daiyu nodded.

Wu Yazi asked somewhat nervously, "Who do you think will win between your cousin and Ding Chunqiu?"

He had just heard that Lin Pingzhi had stopped the Starry Night Monster from stopping Lin Daiyu from entering, so he was a little curious.

Lin Daiyu said, "Of course, my cousin wins."

Then, he recounted how the Old Monster of the Star Constellation had suffered a loss in front of Lin Pingzhi.

"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older one."

Wu Yazi sighed. He was still scheming to find a disciple to pass on his skills and avenge his family, but this guy could defeat Ding Chunqiu all by himself.

Wu Yazi asked, "By the way, how old is your cousin?"

Lin Daiyu said, "I should be eighteen years old this year."

"Eighteen years old, eighteen years old."

Wu Yazi muttered to himself, somewhat listless. At his age, he was far inferior to the other man.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Wu Yazi continued, "Good child, kneel down and kowtow!"

"Ah?" Lin Daiyu exclaimed in surprise.

But remembering Lin Pingzhi's instructions and seeing that the other party was a senior in the martial arts world, he immediately knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.

As he was about to stand up, Wu Yazi laughed and said, "Kneel six more times, that's the rule of our sect."

Lin Daiyu did as she was told and kowtowed six more times.

Wu Yazi said, "Good child, good child! Come here!"

Lin Daiyu stood up and walked to him.

Wu Yazi grabbed her wrist, examined her closely, and suddenly exclaimed in shock:

"Are you a girl?"
