Only in the Changyun Palace, the lights were on all night, and there were longing figures coming in and out, and it was still busy.
In Qingsong Courtyard, Ji Tianxing sat in the room, meditating and adjusting his breath without moving.
In fact, he was not practicing any martial arts, but was secretly releasing his spiritual consciousness to quietly explore the situation in Changyun Palace.
Although, Su Chen took him around the palace during the day.
But all he could see were some palace buildings on the outside.
The real secret places are very hidden, and he can only use his spiritual sense to explore and distinguish them, hoping to find some clues.
In order not to be discovered, he did not dare to release his spiritual consciousness with all his strength, so he could only explore the situation in the palace little by little and eavesdrop on the movements everywhere in the palace.
Throughout the night, he overheard the conversations and exchanges of thousands of people.
But those thousands of people were just soldiers and guards, and the content of the conversations was irrelevant.
Even if Ji Tianxing sifts and analyzes them, it is difficult to summarize useful clues and information.
Not long after, it was dawn.
Early the next morning, Su Chen came to Qingsong Villa to visit Ji Tianxing again.
This time he did not take Ji Tianxing out for fun, but brought two top-quality spiritual teas for Ji Tianxing to taste.
The two of them sat under the thousand-year-old pine tree in the courtyard, brewed the best spiritual tea, put on a game of Go, and chatted while drinking tea.
Ji Tianxing knew very well that it was a lie that Su Chen accompanied him, but it was true that he was monitoring him.
On the surface, he dealt with Su Chen, chatting and playing chess absentmindedly.
Secretly, he released his spiritual consciousness to listen to the movements in Changyun Palace, paying special attention to the scouts and messengers.
This method really worked. In just two hours, he got a lot of useful information.
Su Chen was very smart and could tell that Ji Tianxing was absent-minded and guessed that he was secretly investigating the situation.
So, while making his move, he said with a smile: "When I was practicing in Luoshen Mountain, I was young and often couldn't meditate to practice.
Later, Shenshi Liu taught me how to play chess. Only playing chess can make people concentrate and have a clear mind.
I am ashamed to say that during the more than twenty years I practiced in Luoshen Mountain, apart from practicing, I spent all my time playing chess.
As a result, no one in the entire Luoshen Mountain is my opponent, and even Liu Shenshi, who taught me how to play chess, no longer plays chess with me."
Ji Tianxing said casually: "Well, it can be seen that Mr. Su is very skilled at chess and is indeed hard to beat."
Su Chen smiled slightly and asked tentatively: "When Mr. Ji was practicing in Luoshen Mountain, didn't he play chess with other disciples of the gods?"
"No time, no interest." Ji Tianxing said calmly.
Su Chen looked surprised and said: "This shouldn't be the case! I saw that Mr. Ji has an extraordinary conversation and elegant temperament. He must be from a noble family. He should be able to play chess since he was a child?"
We have just played six games, and Mr. Ji has lost six games in a row. I'm afraid he is careless, right?"
Hearing these words, Ji Tianxing slowly put down the chess piece in his hand and said in a low tone: "You want to anger me and force me to concentrate on playing chess with you?"
"Su doesn't dare." Su Chen waved his hands quickly, how could he dare to admit it?
Ji Tianxing wasn't angry either. He looked at him calmly and said, "Your father didn't want me to get involved in the matter of the sacred mine, so he asked you to keep an eye on me, right?"
"No, no, Mr. Ji misunderstood!" Su Chen shook his head without changing his expression and denied it.
Ji Tianxing continued: "I am going to the border now to check the formation of the armies of the two countries. You must not agree to it, right?"
Su Chen nodded and said: "That's true! You can just stay here and play chess with me. Why go to the border to take risks?"
Ji Tianxing raised a playful smile on his lips and asked: "Just now you said that you have been playing chess in Luoshen Mountain for more than 20 years, and you have no opponent and no one can beat you.
In this case, do you dare to make a bet with me?
If you lose, how about you stop coming to Qingsong Villa to stare at me?"
Su Chen shook his head and refused without hesitation, saying: "Mr. Ji has promoted Su. You are a guest. How can Su dare to bet with you?"
Ji Tianxing chuckled and said: "Are you afraid or disdainful? My chess skills are so bad, what are you afraid of?
Let's do this, if I still lose, I will no longer care about the sacred mine, say goodbye to the Changyun Holy Emperor immediately, and return to Luoshen Mountain."
Upon hearing these words, Su Chen's eyes flashed with light, and a smile appeared on his resolute face.
He looked at Ji Tianxing with burning eyes and asked in a solemn tone: "Mr. Ji, are you serious about this?"
Ji Tianxing looked directly at him and said in a sonorous tone: "One word, one word!"
"Okay!" Su Chen couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and agreed: "Since Mr. Ji is so elegant, then it's better for Su to be respectful than to obey!"
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, cleared the chessboard, and started again.
Ji Tianxing held the white stone, and Su Chen held the black stone. As before, both of them quickly made their moves.
While Su Chen carefully laid out his plans, he thought excitedly in his heart: "Ji Tianxing is indeed smart enough to see his father's thoughts and intentions and does not want him to interfere with the matter of the sacred mine.
How could a man as arrogant and arrogant as him endure such a tone?
Now that I'm staring at him, he has no choice but to play chess with me!
Hahaha... I, Su Chen, can rank among the top ten in terms of chess skills in the entire Luoshui Kingdom, and am qualified to play against the chess master!
There is no doubt that he will lose today, and he will fulfill his bet immediately, leave Sunset City and return to Luoshen Mountain!"
Ji Tianxing lost six games in a row before, all of which were a complete mess.
Su Chen is of course full of confidence and sure of victory!
He seemed to have seen Ji Tianxing surrendering in despair and leaving Sunset City with a gloomy expression.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly.
Hundreds of chess pieces have been placed on the chessboard, black and white, criss-crossing.
Ji Tianxing was still as usual, with a calm expression and calm and deep eyes.
However, Su Chen, who was full of confidence, turned pale at this moment, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
He was holding a black chess piece in his hand, hanging stiffly in the air, unable to fall down.
Most of the sunspots on the chessboard are 'dead', leaving only a glimmer of hope.
And Bai Zi is grand and murderous, and has become a trend!
Su Chen's eyes were fixed on the chessboard, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief!
"How is this possible? Ji Tianxing is not proficient in chess at all! How could he suddenly become so powerful?
A dragnet and a trap, killing moves everywhere... leaving only a glimmer of hope, but it's also a trap!
This is the Nine Dragons Burning Heaven Game! This is the unique skill of chess master Xie Wudao!"
After being silent for a long time, Su Chen raised his head with difficulty and looked at Ji Tianxing with extremely complex eyes.
"Master Ji, I... give up!"
Su Chen's voice was very bitter, hoarse and trembling.
After admitting defeat with great difficulty, he took back the chess pieces dejectedly and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"But I really want to know, what is the connection between Mr. Ji and Chess Saint Xie Wudao?"
