In the evening, in the backyard of Zhu's house, a small pavilion.

"Well, your hand is beyond the old man's expectations. “

Zhu Tingzhi said to Chu Xuan with a smile, and lightly dropped a son on the chessboard. It turned out that the two were playing against each other.

"Agreed, Master. ”

Chu Xuan also followed suit. He was very depressed, the old man had recently called himself to the mansion when he had nothing to do, and every day he either drank tea or played games, as if he didn't mind how his cultivation was.

Zhu Yan on the side was silent, sitting quietly and watching, pouring water and tea for the two from time to time.

It was also Chu Xuan who didn't notice it for a while, Old Man Zhu's meaning was already obvious, that is, he wanted to deliberately create an opportunity for him and his daughter to meet, after all, although the two knew each other, because their residences were too far apart, they were usually busy with each other, so they didn't have much intersection.

To be honest, not only Chu Xuan was depressed, but even Zhu Tingzhi himself was depressed. I don't know if my daughter is pretending to be reserved, in the old man's impression, Zhu Yan is generous, gentle and polite in dealing with people on weekdays, how can he make an exception to Chu Xuan, it seems that he is neither intimate nor repulsive, faintly like a glass of boiled water. The old man couldn't figure out what this girl thought.

The end of the first game ended with Chu Xuan losing two sons.

"Haha, it seems that the old man is not old and confused. ”

Zhu Tingzhi was slightly proud, and said in his heart, his chess skills are not as good as those of several juniors and brothers of the same generation, and it is no problem to bully and bully juniors. As everyone knows, this is Chu Xuan deliberately letting him, lest he lose to a junior, and his face is gloomy.

Zhu Yan smiled, didn't speak, got up to pour tea for the two, Chu Xuan deliberately lost the chess, in fact, she knew it.

Zhu Yan likes to play chess since he was a child, and he has been personally instructed by Li Yi, the real person of the ruling sect. Speaking of games, except for Li Yi, there are few people in the entire Dao Sect who can draw with her.

"Yan'er, you're tired of your father, haven't you always liked to play games, why don't you come and accompany Xiao Xuan in the next game. Zhu Tingzhi covered his mouth with his hands and pretended to yawn, while getting up from the stone bench, blinking, and motioning for Chu Xuan to speak.

It was only at this time that Chu Xuan understood the meaning of the old man's invitation to come these days, and he had no choice but to pretend to be sincere and said, "Please give me advice." ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Yan originally wanted to refuse, but it was obvious that Chu Xuan also spoke, so it was difficult to refuse, and said with a smile: "My chess skills are not very exquisite, and I hope that Brother Xuan's subordinates will show mercy." ”

Chu Xuan didn't know that the other party was humble, and thought that she was telling the truth, so he deliberately gave way at the beginning, and deliberately kept his hand at the beginning, and the result can be imagined, he lost the first game and had no power to fight back.

"Senior sister, can you have another game?" Chu Xuan knew that he had underestimated the other party, so he hurriedly put away his previous contempt and pleaded in a deep voice. Although he knew that Zhu Yan's chess skills were extraordinary, Chu Xuan was still faintly unconvinced, feeling that he had lost to a woman, and he couldn't hold it on his face.

"Senior brother, please. Zhu Yan still had that smiling expression.

Next, the two played a few more rounds, and all of them were Chu Xuan's defeat, without exception. In fact, in order to take care of Chu Xuan's face, Zhu Yan had deliberately let him a few times, but even so, Chu Xuan still couldn't get under the other party.

"The senior sister is good at layout, and her chess power is far above that of the junior brother, I admire it. Chu Xuan's face was slightly red, and he got up and said.

Zhu Yan said: "Brother Xuan's mid-game attack is also good, he is sharp and decisive, but he is a little impulsive." ”

Zhu Tingzhi, who was sitting next to him and watching the battle, said with a smile: "Xiao Xuan, you don't have to be frustrated if you lose to my family Yan'er, don't say it's you, even the old husband is the same, since she was six years old, the old man can't get off her." ”

Chu Xuan said in his heart, the old man is so funny, I can't get down to her, but it's easy to deal with you, but he still looks like he is being taught, and said, "It's the disciple who is too stupid." ”

Zhu Tingzhi comforted him a few more words, and left the other party to have dinner in the house. After dinner, while it was still dark, Chu Xuan didn't stay longer and said goodbye to the two.

After Chu Xuan left, Zhu Tingzhi asked Zhu Yan, "Yan'er, what do you think of Xiao Xuan?"

Zhu Yan pretended not to understand what the other party meant, and whispered, "Brother Xuan, this person is very good." ”

"Girl, at your age, it's time to think about lifelong events, either Luo Lan or Lin Xuan, you choose one yourself, don't say much for your father. Zhu Tingzhi shook his head.

...

When Chu Xuan left the Zhu Mansion, it was already dark. On the stone road of Dao Yizong, the moon stars are sparse, the breeze is blowing, and a few chilling cicadas are heard from time to time.

He was in a good mood, and was walking slowly by himself, when he suddenly heard a few voices that were not very friendly.

"Stop!"

"Are you Lin Xuan from Baifeng Sect?"

I saw no less than twenty or thirty people standing in front of me, each carrying a lantern in his hand.

Chu Xuan didn't know who was on the other side, but he thought that there would be no other people in this sect, so he said: "It's Lin Xuan below, which senior brother are you all from?"

I saw a man in red walking out of the crowd and said coldly: "Lin Xuan, it's very good, it's my son who wants to find you." ”

Then the glimmer of the lantern, Chu Xuan recognized this person, "You are Luo Lan, the master of the Green Scale Sect?"

"Hmm, do you know me?" Luo Lan was a little surprised, "Then do you know why I'm looking for you today?"

Of course Chu Xuan knew the reason, this Luo Lan once proposed to Zhu Tingzhi, but because of Zhu Yan's opposition, he was released by the other party, and now he sees that Chu Xuan often haunts Zhu Mansion, so he thinks that the other party has messed up his good deeds.

"Senior Brother Luo, do you want to beat me up with such a group of people to block me here?" Chu Xuan scratched his head and asked.

"him!"

"Let him know how powerful!"

The other party's indifferent attitude made the younger brothers around Luo Lan very unhappy, and they shouted in unison to clean up each other. However, no one dared to step forward to be the first bird, after all, they still knew the nickname of the other party's "Linghai Tribulation".

Luo Lan waved his hand, signaled everyone to keep quiet, and then said: "You can enter the Dao Sect, which means that you are also a smart person, you can go and inquire about what will happen if you go against me Luo Lan." ”

This time it was Chu Xuan's turn to be unhappy, and said lightly: "I don't understand, does Senior Brother want to fight, or do you want to scare people?" However, no matter what you want, if you are not afraid of making a big deal, please do it." ”

Luo Lan squinted his eyes, and was about to make a move, when a younger brother next to him hurriedly whispered: "Door master, this kid is not simple, listening to the people of the White Tiger Palace, he was personally recommended by the ruling sect." ”

After hearing this, Luo Lan hesitated, he could get the personal recommendation of the ruling sect, thinking that this Lin Xuan was either talented or noble, no matter what the situation was, it seemed that he would not be able to do anything to him today.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Lan decided to send someone to probe the other party first, but he couldn't lose in terms of momentum, so he lowered his voice and said: "Lin Xuan, I'll let you go today, you'd better pray that Wu won't let me meet you at the end of the year, otherwise I'll ......" said and pouted his hands as a threat.

"Huh. ”

Chu Xuan glanced at him like an idiot, moved in place, and disappeared in front of everyone.

"This guy is really not simple!"

Luo Lan was slightly shocked in his heart.
