"I ...... I throw in the towel. ”

In Lan Xinxuan, a disciple clenched his fists and lowered his head and said.

Mo Xia, who was sitting opposite, arched his hand and said modestly: "Accept it, senior brother." ”

"Wow...... Senior Brother Mo is so powerful, how many consecutive victories is this? It's only been more than a year since he came, and there is no senior brother in the hall who can beat him. ”

"Not only Senior Brother can't play, I heard that even his chess strength is on par with Cheng Auditorium."

"Huh? This is too powerful, Cheng Auditorium is recognized as the highest chess power in the sect. ”

In the deliberately suppressed exclamations around him, Mo Xia put the sunspots on the chessboard into the chessboard.

Raising his head, Mo Xia was just about to go to the next opponent when he saw a familiar figure walking through the crowd.

'Senior brother!? ’

Mo Xia's eyes widened, since he came back from the Moon Occultation Sect, Mo Xia has always wanted to find his senior brother to learn chess skills, but whether it is in the hall or in the sect, Mo Xia can't find his senior brother, until he heard that his senior brother has become the emperor.

This made Mo Xia extremely disappointed, because during the time of the Moon Occultation Sect, he really learned a lot from his senior brother, but even if he learned so much, he still had a feeling of looking up to his senior brother in chess.

Quickly squeezing out of the crowd, Mo Xia chased in the direction where the senior brother disappeared, but he didn't see the senior brother again.

Looking around left and right for a while, Mo Xia's gaze locked on the innermost chess room.

That was the exclusive chess room of Cheng Auditorium, and the most likely place for Senior Brother to go should be there.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Xia took two steps forward and knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" The voice of Cheng Auditorium came from inside.

"Disciple Mo Xia has something to ask to see."

Hearing Mo Xia's name, Jiang Beiran, who had just fallen a white son, was stunned, thinking that it had been a long time since he had seen this chess idiot.

At the beginning, because I thought that I was famous for winning the championship in chess, it was inevitable that many people would come to challenge me in the future, so I planned to train Mo Xia to be a shield for myself.

But the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and he ascended the throne in the Ningdu Palace not long after he came back, and Mo Xia naturally lost the meaning of a tool man, plus he was very busy after ascending the throne, and Jiang Beiran forgot about him.

Cheng Litang didn't like to be disturbed when he was playing chess, but when he heard that it was another proud disciple of his own, he didn't drive people away directly, and said, "Come in." ”

As soon as Cheng Auditorium's words fell, the door was gently pushed open, and Mo Xia cautiously looked in and found that the senior brother was indeed playing against the auditorium.

Putting away the excitement in his heart, Mo Xia first arched his hand towards Cheng Auditorium and said, "Meet Cheng Auditorium." ”

"What's the matter with me?" Cheng Auditorium asked.

"The disciple wants to come and ask the auditorium some questions."

"Hmm." Cheng Litang nodded, "Then you wait first, I'll finish this game first." ”

"Yes." With a promise, Mo Xia stood quietly in front of the chessboard and began to watch the battle.

Soon, the time for half a stick of incense passed, and Mo Xia, who had been watching the battle seriously, had a feeling in his heart.

'Senior brother definitely left his hand. ’

When he was in the Moon Occultation Sect, the pressure brought to him by each of his senior brothers was extremely huge, especially in the middle game, almost every son would make him feel suffocated.

But in the game between Senior Brother and Cheng Auditorium, Mo Xia didn't feel this feeling at all, and this was not just because he was watching from the sidelines, and he didn't become an opponent with Senior Brother.

'No wonder Senior Brother didn't win the auditorium very much, it turned out that this is the reason......

When Cheng Auditorium fell to the last son, Mo Xia volunteered to take charge of the number, and finally counted Cheng Auditorium narrowly defeated half a eye.

"The chess skills in the auditorium are really becoming more and more fascinating, and the disciples admire them." Jiang Beiran arched his hand.

"Hahaha, it should be said that Beiran, you have been rusty for so long, but you can still play at this level, it is terrifying, come on, come on, let's go to the next game."

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran looked at Mo Xia and said, "In the auditorium, there are still disciples waiting for you." ”

"Ouch." Cheng Litang slapped his head and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I forgot everything when I started chess, Mo Xia, what do you want to ask for teaching?" ”

Mo Xia hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Disciple is not in a hurry, please continue." With that, he began to organize the chessboard.

"Speaking of which, the two of you should have met on the road at the beginning of the Yingjie Race." Cheng Litang asked while drinking tea.

"Hmm." Jiang Beiran nodded.

"What's the matter, does this little junior brother give you a lot of pressure? If you relax any longer, sooner or later you will be surpassed by him. Cheng Auditorium said with a smile.

As soon as Cheng Litang finished speaking, before Jiang Beiran could answer, Mo Xia's face was already red.

Won over the senior brother? He didn't even dare to think about it.

"The disciple also wants to spend more time on Go, but now he can't help himself, and he has too many things to do, so he just has a little free time, so he came to play chess with you."

Jiang Beiran said this sentence sincerely, in the first few years of the sect, the most he did was to play chess, although the starting point was to ask for some benefits from the hall master, but the feelings cultivated were true, and Cheng Auditorium did take good care of him in all aspects during the period.

So as soon as I had some free time, I came to amuse the old man.

"It's rare for you to have this heart."

While the two were talking, the chessboard had been sorted out by Mo Xia, and the old and the young were fighting again.

It was not until the time of the unit that Jiang Beiran got up and said goodbye and left.

As soon as Jiang Beiran left, Cheng Litang just wanted to ask Mo Xia again, but found that he was no longer in the room.

"What about people...... Cheng Auditorium said strangely.

Out of Lan Xinxuan, Jiang Beiran was about to go to Shuijingtang, and he felt that there was an extra little tail behind him.

"Looking for me?" Jiang Beiran looked back at Mo Xia and asked.

Mo Xia, who was holding the chessboard, stopped, nodded and said, "I also want to play a game with my senior brother." ”

"Next time, I'll have something to do later."

"That'...... Is it okay to be a child? Or when it's ugly? I can wait for you to finish your business, senior brother. ”

Looking at Mo Xia's pitiful eyes, Jiang Beiran sighed and said, "Wait for me in Lan Xinxuan when you are young." ”

Mo Xia nodded again and again when he heard this: "Okay! ”

"Well, let's go back." After speaking, Jiang Beiran turned around and continued to walk towards the Water Mirror Hall.

When he came to the door of Tinglan Water Pavilion, Jiang Beiran reached out and knocked on the door twice, but when he opened the door, he found that it was not Xiao Duo standing at the door, but Shi Fenglan.

"Shi Tang ......"

"Come in, come in."

Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to ask what was going on, Shi Fenglan took Jiang Beiran's hand and ran to the side hall.

"Slow, slow, what the hell is going on?" Jiang Beiran asked as he ran.

"Just come with me."

Pulling Jiang Beiran all the way to the side hall, Shi Fenglan pointed to a big box in the middle and said, "Guess what's in it?" ”

'Good fellow, Ayagi Box? ’

Ayaki is a kind of wood with an excellent sealing effect, no matter what natural materials and earth treasures are stored inside, it can ensure that the aura does not leak out, just like freshly picked wood.

Such a good material is naturally expensive, even Jiang Beiran only has a few vials made of Ayashi, and as for the box made of Ayamu, it is the first time he has seen it.

'The trench is inhumane......

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Jiang Beiran used his spiritual power to sense the contents of the box.

'Shhh...... What does it feel like? ’

As soon as Jiang Beiran's spiritual power penetrated into the box, he felt a very mysterious feeling, and it was difficult to describe in words what kind of thing it was, as if it was changing at any time.

"I don't know." Jiang Beiran shook his head and said.

"Guess, guess!" Shi Fenglan said with a jump.

"Don't guess."

"Woo~" puffed up her cheeks, Shi Fenglan knew that since Jiang Beiran didn't guess, it was useless for her to be coquettish, and it would only have the opposite effect.

'Hmph, when you see what's in the box, you'll be sure to ...... Hey, hey, hey. ’

With a snicker in his heart, Shi Fenglan bent down to untie the buckle of the box, and the moment the lid of the box opened, Jiang Beiran felt a strange fragrance burrowing into his nose.

'What does this smell like?' ’

Jiang Beiran, who had never smelled this fragrance, became curious, he had never smelled such a special smell after so many years of crisscrossing the sea of flowers.

"Dangdangdang~"

Opening the box completely, Shi Fenglan stepped aside and showed the contents of the box to Jiang Beiran.

Jiang Beiran looked at it fixedly, and saw that in the box was a strange flower that was emitting a faint light, the leaves were orange, and the stems from the very short ground were stacked and opposite, arranged on both sides, with long stalks, and the shape of the flower was very peculiar, as if it was a fire phoenix that was about to spread its wings and soar.

Jiang Beiran searched the knowledge base in his mind, but he didn't even know what this flower was called.

Looking at Jiang Beiran's stunned appearance, Shi Fenglan was obviously very proud, crossed her waist and raised her neck and said: "Hehe, it's amazing, this is called the Bird of Paradise, and it is the eighth existence on the Strange Flower List." ”

'Bird of Paradise!? ’

Jiang Beiran's eyes widened again, he had seen this name on the rare spectrum, and knew that it was an existence that could rank in the top five hundred.

You must know that the Rare Spectrum contains the rare treasures of the entire Xuanlong Continent, and being able to appear on the list of this level already shows that it is extremely rare, let alone ranked in the top five hundred.

"Hey, awesome, right? Awesome, right? Awesome, right? ”

Shi Fenglan ran around Jiang Beiran and asked.

"Where did this come from?" Jiang Beiran asked.

"You don't care about that, don't you like it very much?"

"Yes, I do." Jiang Beiran nodded and admitted.

"As long as you've been playing with me this month, I'll give it to you, okay?"

As soon as Shi Fenglan finished speaking, two options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran.

[Option 1: Promise Shi Fenglan. Completion Reward: Broken Dragon Forbidden Spectrum (Upper Grade)】

[Option 2: Reject Shi Fenglan.] Completion Reward: +1 for random basic skill points]

'Good fellows...... The prefecture-level quality can be OK. ’

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Beiran directly chose two and said, "Not good." ”

[Option quest completed, reward: Alchemy +1]

"Why?" Shi Fenglan, who originally thought that she had successfully seduced Jiang Beiran, pouted.

"A bad is a bad thing, do you think I'm the kind of person who will be tempted by treasures?"

"Didn't you accept my Soul Baby Fruit last time?"

"Last time was last time."

"What's different this time?"

"When I say it's different, it's different, put it away quickly, and beware of being robbed." Jiang Beiran finished speaking and was about to leave the side hall.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was leaving, Shi Fenglan grabbed Jiang Beiran's hand and said, "If you don't like this, I'll help you find something else, and you can play with me for a month." ”

Sighing, Jiang Beiran turned around and said, "Don't worry, even if you don't give me this, I will often come to play with you in the future, haven't you noticed that I have often returned to the sect in the past two days?" ”

"Really?" Shi Fenglan asked with wide eyes.

"Really."

"But you don't necessarily play with me when you come back......"

"Of course, I still have my own things to do." After speaking, he immediately added: "Don't say anything, you come to do it for me, if you say that, I will never come again." ”

Shi Fenglan, who was about to open her mouth, immediately closed it, nodded and said, "Okay......"

"Go and put the flowers away." Jiang Beiran urged.

"You really don't want it? I managed to steal it from home...... No, it's coming. ”

Jiang Beiran heard that his head was suddenly full of black lines, and he kind of understood the reason why the prefecture-level top-grade option was triggered, if she let her family know that she had stolen this bird of paradise and sent it to herself, would he still have a life?

"Send it back quickly! Don't do it again. ”

"Oh~ Don't worry, my dad loves me very much, even if he knows, he will only teach me two sentences at most, I will tell him that I like this flower and raise it."

"Hurry! Tight! Give! Return! Go! Jiang Beiran said word by word.

"Oh......" nodded, and Shi Fenglan ran to close the box.

Watching the box close again, Jiang Beiran wanted to say that it was impossible to say that there was no reluctance in his heart, but no matter how good the baby was, he had to have a life, and this time he should have collected the information that Shi Fenglan had the Bird of Paradise here, and it might come in handy in the future.

And he can't use the treasure materials that are too high-end for the time being, after all, even the furnace and auxiliary materials for refining the soul baby fruit were all scraped together by him, and this Bird of Paradise is even more difficult to get.

"Remember to send it back quickly." Jiang Beiran admonished.

"Got it, I'll send it back in the evening, why are you so afraid of this flower?" Shi Fenglan said strangely.

"I'm afraid your flower will be stolen."

"Got it, got it."

Pushing the box to the corner, Shi Fenglan ran back and pushed Jiangbei and said, "Then let's go gamble, today I want to play Huashan Sword!" ”

Returning to the hall and sitting down, Jiang Beiran had just taken out the character card from the Qiankun ring when he saw Yu Manwen walking in.

"Yu Protector." Jiang Beiran nodded at her, which was regarded as a greeting.

Yu Manwen glanced at Jiang Beiran and asked a little strangely, "You didn't know that the five of them weren't here today, so you came, right?" ”

"Not really." Jiang Beiran sorted out the character card and said.

"I said you hate my disciples so much?"

"I don't want to discuss it."

"Okay." Yu Manwen shrugged, "Have you discussed anything important with the sect master these days?" ”

"Oh? Yu Protector is very well-informed, I know this. Jiang Beiran said as he took out the prop card and equipment card.

"Where do you need to be well-informed, the sect master now attaches great importance to you, the emperor, and the high-level people in this sect know it."

"So what does Yu Protector want to ask?"

"There's nothing I want to ask, I'm just curious about what you said to the sect master, so he asked him to mobilize so many high-level officials to cooperate with you."

"Oh, it's just a little thing." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he took out five character cards and handed them to Yu Manwen and said, "Are you with the Dharma Protector?" ”

Yu Manwen looked at the character card in Jiang Beiran's hand, then looked at the prop card on the table, and asked, "Don't you have to gamble with a knight recently?" ”

"Yu Protector likes to bet on that?"

Yu Manwen hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just a casual question, it's not all the same." ”

At this time, Shi Fenglan, who was studying the skills of the character, suddenly raised her head and said: "What's the matter, Manwen, you obviously like your sword fairy, I saw you take it out and play with it the day before yesterday." ”

"I'm here to see if she's broken!" After Yu Manwen finished speaking, he took the character card in Jiang Beiran's hand, "How to bet on this, teach me." ”
