As he spoke, the corners of the empress's mouth were even more sinister: "In this way, we will save a lot of trouble, instead of struggling to find out his whereabouts, why don't we use those people close to him as bait and force him to show up obediently?"

At that moment, looking at the empress's sneering face, Xiang Aotian couldn't help but secretly shudder, thinking, this emperor is really too insidious, the means are too ruthless, fortunately he is his person, otherwise...

While secretly palpitating in his heart, Xiang Aotian quickly adjusted his mood, accompanied by a smiling face, and said appropriately: "Yes, it's still Your Majesty Shengming, why didn't you think of such a good way?"

Hearing Xiang Aotian's flattery, the empress was very proud, smiled slightly, and then raised his hand: "Okay, you can handle this matter, go to the Supervision Department first, let them check, in the Qingyun Continent and the Sun and Moon Sect, who has the best relationship with Lin Bai, after finding out clearly, then arrest people, don't mess with me, understand?"

"The humble post understands, Your Majesty can rest assured, and the humble post will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations. ”

Xiang Aotian nodded again and again, and after responding to peace, he saluted and quickly exited the Yangde Palace.

...

And at this moment, on my side.

Ten minutes later, Ling Luo and I, driving the spirit beast car, returned to Shangguan Xian'er's villa the same way, and before we got out of the car, we saw Shangguan Xian'er wearing a long skirt, sitting in front of the window sill on the second floor, thinking about something, giving people a sense of grace and tranquility.

And Shangguan Xian'er's temperament is in stark contrast to the exclusive female bodyguard around her, who secretly has a cold and compelling temperament.

"You... Why are you back?" Seeing us, Shangguan Xian'er was surprised and delighted, and quickly went downstairs and greeted us.

In the face of her burning gaze, I smiled bitterly, and after entering the hall, I told the details of the encounter with the Red Witch on the way.

"Ahh Hearing my words, Shangguan Xian'er's face was full of shock, she covered her mouth and sighed, in shock, her eyes were also full of nervousness.

Before I could speak, she got up from the couch and said restlessly, "What should I do?

As she spoke, her eyes fell on me, undisguised with concern: "Lin Bai, what should I do?

Seriously, I felt those sincere concerns from her tone, my heart was warm, so I smiled, stood up and comforted her: "It's okay, when I came back, I had already thought about it, anyway, the competition of cultivation strength, I had already compared it last night, and in the next two games, I compared it with her, although the Red Witch is terrifying, but after all, she is a senior, and she will not rely on the old and sell the old and bully us juniors." ”

Hearing me say this, Shangguan Xian'er's face softened a little, but there was still some worry in my eyes.

I didn't say anything, chatted with Shangguan Xian'er for a while, and asked her to prepare a room for Ling Luo, and then I returned to the room where I rested yesterday, and began to meditate and practice cross-legged, after practicing, I thought about some details of the competition, and then closed my eyes and rested for a while.

When it was almost noon, Shangguan Xian'er took me and Ling Luo to the hotel in the capital for dinner, and in the afternoon, he accompanied me to visit some scenic spots near the capital, and finally took me to visit Lihuang Entertainment Company.

During this period, because I had preparations and plans in my heart, I was not as nervous as before, I was relaxed, and I had a good time, but Shangguan Xian'er and Ling Luo were still a little nervous.

When I got back to the villa again, it was already night.

Minutes and seconds passed, and it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the moment I had agreed with the Red Witch was getting closer and closer, and I got ready to go out.

At this time, Shangguan Xian'er walked up quickly with her exclusive bodyguard and Ling Luo, and said almost in unison: "Let me go with you." ”

I looked at Ling Luo, then at Shangguan Xian'er, smiled, and said to Ayaluo: "This matter has nothing to do with you, just let Miss Shangguan accompany me." ”

"Well, then you have to be careful." Seeing the relaxed and confident look on my face, Ling Luo originally wanted to insist, but finally nodded.

At this moment, Shangguan Xian'er also let her exclusive bodyguard stay, and then got into the exclusive spirit beast car with me, slowly drove out of the villa compound, and headed towards the mountains in the distance.

A few minutes later, when I arrived at the place, I had just passed through the woods, and I saw that the Red Witch had arrived, standing alone on the big rock that she had stood on yesterday, with her hands behind her back, giving people a sense of pride over everything.

"Coming?" Seeing me and Shangguan Xian'er approaching, the Red Witch glanced at Shangguan Xian'er, and then her eyes fell on me, looking at me with a smile, her attitude was not as cold as during the day, but it was still imposing.

I grinned, smiled and nodded, and then arched my hand, "I've seen the Red Devils." ”

"Alright, don't come to these false courtesies. The Red Witch waved her hand, looking like she couldn't wait, and said lazily: "Yesterday's first game was the way I proposed the competition, and you have the final say in the second game today." ”

While speaking, she urged her figure, like a fallen leaf, to jump down the big stone lightly, and when she reached a place two meters in front of me, her eyes looked at me tightly: "Say, what are we comparing today?"

I took a breath lightly, glanced at Shangguan Xian'er quickly, then smiled, and said, "Since the seniors are so anxious, then I will say it directly, this second scene, let's compare it to poetry." ”

After speaking, I looked at her with a smile, and the corners of my mouth hooked up a confident smile.

Haha, in the palace of the Xuanzi Continent, I can't find a few who can compose poems better than me, and now when I come to this Haolan Road, there are very few people who can be poets on the spot, you know, this is completely different from the Xuanzi Continent, because of the development of science and technology, who is still in the mood to study ancient poems?

"Poetry?"

Sure enough, as soon as my voice fell, the Red Witch frowned, staring at me in a daze, although she was not angry, but invisibly, it also made me feel a compelling pressure.

"Yes!" I nodded, taking a step back at the same time.

Nima, this Red Devil female personality quirk, don't be angry for a while, and suddenly attack me, so I'd better be cautious.

When I secretly retreated, Shangguan Xian'er on the side also clenched her pink fists, watching the reaction of the Red Witch, she was also very nervous.

For a while, the three of us didn't speak, and I was staring at the Red Witch, surrounded by indescribable silence except for the gentle night breeze, and the silence made people feel tense inside.

And at that moment, my neck nerves were tense, my mind was spinning rapidly, I thought of countless results, thinking, this red witch will ask me directly about the topic later, or will she be annoyed and angry, and turn her face directly at me...

And the Red Witch who was staring at me tightly, her eyes were also flickering, as if she was thinking about something in her head.

We confronted each other for a few minutes, and it felt like a long time, an indescribable torment, and finally I broke out in a cold sweat on my back.

Finally, just when I was about to lose my weight under her invisible pressure, the Red Witch spoke.

"Do you compose poetry? . . It's not my forte, I throw in the towel!"

Just a few words, after the Red Witch said it, she glanced at me meaningfully, and then looked at Shangguan Xian'er, her expression was calm, but vaguely, there was a hint of suffocation.

the groove.

Throw in the towel?

And Shangguan Xian'er and I were stunned when we heard her words, there was no joy of victory at all, but indescribable stunned, to be honest, Shangguan Xian'er and I never thought that the Red Witch would take the initiative to admit defeat, you know, a terrifying existence like her, it is even more difficult to let her admit defeat than to take her life.

For a while, I felt that I had heard it wrong, and it wasn't until I looked at Shangguan Xian'er that I came back to my senses.

"In the first two games, we were tied, and tomorrow is still this time, we will see you soon.." At this time, the Red Witch looked at me deeply, and after speaking lightly, she was about to turn around and leave.

"Seniors and so on.."

However, at that moment, my mind flashed, and I quickly called out to her.

At that moment, the Red Witch stood and looked back at me, looking very stunned: "What? Do you still have something?" At the same time, Shangguan Xian'er next to me also looked at me very puzzled, not understanding what I was going to do when I called out to the Red Witch.

I smiled, then took a deep breath, and said politely to the Red Witch: "Senior, it's still early today, why don't we compare the third game, we still have to run around." ”

Originally, I didn't plan to compete in the last two games, but I proposed three games, and one game a day, just to delay time, and now since I can't avoid it, I can't escape the control of the Red Witch, so my previous plan is meaningless, since it's meaningless, it's better to finish it all today.

"Do you want to compete in the third game today?" Suddenly, hearing my words, the Red Witch looked at me for a few seconds, then smiled faintly and looked at me with interest.

At this moment, Shangguan Xian'er also looked at me complicatedly, with a little uneasiness and worry in her eyes, after all, this third game will determine her future, if I lose, she will have to worship this red witch she resists as a teacher, it is impossible not to be nervous.

So under the worry and nervousness, Shangguan Xian'er felt that I was a little too hasty, and she thought in her heart that this third scene needs us to go back and discuss it carefully, and then make enough preparations.

Sensing Shangguan Xian'er's expression, I smiled and gave her a reassuring look.

Then, I met the Red Witch's gaze and nodded, "Yes, let's have a complete battle tonight." ”

"Okay!" Seeing that I answered crisply, the Red Witch laughed, then turned around, walked a few steps back and forth in front of my eyes, and said as she went: "The second game is your question, then the third one, I will solve the question." ”

"Senior, although the question is!" I said with a smile, my face was very calm, but I was also a little uneasy in my heart. Nima, if she waits for her and wants to compete with me in terms of speed and so on, won't I lose badly?

Thinking like this, I secretly prayed in my heart, and at the same time urged my mind to communicate with Zhou Yu in my mind: "Master, this third scene, I need your help and guidance." ”

"Calm, people haven't come up with the question yet, look at you nervous, you can't treat things with a plain state of mind, how to do big things?" Hearing my words, Zhou Yu reprimanded angrily.

I smiled wryly, and before I could reply, at this moment, I saw that the Red Witch thought of something, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and with a wave of her sleeves, she took out a large object from the storage ring.

Bang.

As soon as the thing was taken out, it made a dull sound when it landed, it was a stone platform, and the texture of this stone platform was simple, as if it was a small stone table formed naturally, and then it was slightly processed by people, so it gave people a very peculiar feeling.

Taking out the stone table, the Red Witch looked at me with a smile and took out two stone benches from the storage ring.

Damn, what's going on?

Suddenly, when I saw that the Red Witch had made the stone table and stone bench, I was blindsided, and I thought to myself, could it be that this Red Witch is not going to try the third game?

When I was stunned, Shangguan Xian'er also frowned lightly, and looked at the scene in front of me, and I was also a little stunned.

"Senior, what are you..."I was stunned for a few seconds, looking at the Red Witch sitting on the stone bench opposite me, I finally couldn't help it, and asked cautiously.

The Red Witch smiled mysteriously at me, her smile revealing a bit of confidence and teasing, and then she made a gesture of invitation to me: "Aren't you going to compete in the third game?

As she spoke, she slowly raised her hand, and saw a blood-like red glow, slowly flashing, and at the same time, a strong internal force breath was also diffused, and then, a scene that made me stunned appeared, and I saw that where her hand slowly brushed, on the stone table, where there was originally nothing, a small square with more than a dozen horizontal and vertical lines immediately appeared.

It was a chessboard, and on top of it, there was a glow of fluorescence. It feels very strange.

the groove, this is going to.. Play chess?

Seeing this, I was stunned again, and my brain was also dizzy, to be honest, I used to play chess in Qingyun Continent before, and what other marching chess, beast chess, backgammon or something, I am more familiar, but only this Go, I really don't know anything.

"In addition to my cultivation strength, I can also show my skills, and in this country, there are few people who can compare with me, so in this third game, let's compare chess skills. ”

At this moment, when I was stunned, the Red Witch looked at me with a smile, and at the same time took out the black and white chess piece jar, left the black one herself, and pushed the white chess piece in front of me.

At that moment, looking at the white chess pieces in front of me, I couldn't cry or laugh, but I wasn't too nervous, after all, I still had the strong backing of Zhou Yu.

"Master, it's up to you next. I smiled at the Red Witch in front of me, and then urged my mind to communicate with Zhou Yu in my mind.

However, at that moment, as soon as I was talking to Zhou Yu with my mind, I clearly saw that the Red Witch raised her eyebrows and glanced at me very sharply. It was as if it had seen through me all at once.

Hiss.

Suddenly, sensing her gaze, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
