Liu Changgong soon found this young man brought by Yu Linglong very interesting. He seemed to admire him very much and kept flattering him, making his teeth itch from holding back his laughter.
Only then did Liu Changgong begin to ask Yu Linglong and the others why they had come.
“Why did you think of coming to my little shop today?”
Hearing this, Yu Linglong’s face also turned red. She felt a little embarra.s.sed and stammered, “It’s… It’s nothing. I just came… to see.”
Liu Changgong didn’t care. After thinking for a while, it seemed that he hadn’t played chess with others for a long time, so he said, “Then if you have nothing to do, come and play chess with me.”
“Okay.”
Yu Linglong naturally didn’t dare to object, and she was indeed a little disappointed.
She had originally planned to tell her senior the news of her breakthrough to the Golden Core realm, but it seemed that the senior didn’t notice this.
Yes, perhaps the breakthrough from Foundation Establishment to the Golden Core realm was nothing strange in front of her senior.
Yu Linglong wanted to let her senior praise her, but the senior didn’t seem to care at all. She was just a little transparent in the immortal cultivation world, and had no sense of existence at all.
Yu Linglong also secretly swore in her heart that she must work harder in cultivation. She must let the senior see her and notice her existence.
Liu Changgong didn’t know that Yu Linglong had thought so much at this moment. How could he know that Yu Linglong had already broken through to the Golden Core stage? He couldn’t see anything at all.
In fact, he also felt that he was too bored. The main thing was that it was really boring to always play with himself. Now that there was a chance to play chess with someone else, he had to seize the opportunity, right?
Liu Changgong took out his chessboard and chess pieces and placed them on the table.
The chessboard was also a reward from the system when his chess skills returned to their origin state. There was nothing special about it except for the two words ‘sun and moon’ on the side of the chessboard that was very eye-catching.
However, they did not see the words carved on every flag: Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianshu…
He and Yu Linglong sat on both sides of the chessboard. A few small animals were squeezed on his knees as they looked at the chessboard.
Li Xuanmen watched the two of them play chess from the side of the chessboard. He looked at Liu Changgong, who was dressed in white and playing chess with his chess pieces. For the first time, he felt ashamed of his inferiority.
‘Senior Li’s realm is so high that I can’t even compare to him.’
“Linglong’s chess skills are really terrible. I hope I won’t disturb Senior’s elegant mood…” Yu Linglong said respectfully before she placed her stones.
Liu Changgong smiled faintly. “It’s fine. Go ahead and play. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll let you have a few more stones.”
With his chess skills, he probably wouldn’t be able to find an opponent in this world. Therefore, the chess skills of his opponents didn’t matter to him. It was just that he felt bored by himself.
Yu Linglong took a deep breath and pondered for a long time. She took the lead and slowly put down the chess piece in her hand.
In an instant, the world in front of her eyes suddenly changed. It became a world with Great Dao. The principles of everything in the world began to evolve in front of her like a lantern.
Yu Linglong’s Dao heart trembled and she thought to herself, ‘As expected.’
Senior Liu might have given her another opportunity, but this opportunity was not easy to grasp…
Liu Changgong initially thought that Yu Linglong’s words were just words of modesty, but who knew that she was sincere. Not only was she bad at it, but she was also very slow at it.
He was a little speechless.
Even though he was always going easy on her, he still slaughtered Yu Linglong after more than ten moves, forcing Yu Linglong to admit defeat.
“Senior, I admit defeat. Thank you for your guidance…”
Yu Linglong was already sweating profusely, and her face was flushed red.
Liu Changgong didn’t know how to console her.
How could she still be sweating profusely after playing chess? Moreover, she couldn’t play well either.
Liu Changgong was also very helpless. He could only nod his head in disappointment and say, “Alright.”
When Yu Linglong saw Liu Changgong’s expression, she thought that it was because Senior wanted to give her a chance but she did not seize it. She could not help but blush.
Li Xuanmen, who was at the side, had already seen that this game was extraordinary. He was waiting. When he saw this, he said, “Senior, if you don’t mind, then I will play a game with you.”
Looking at Li Xuanmen, who was flattering him, Liu Changgong could not refuse. He could only point at the opposite side and say, “Alright, then you do it!”
Li Xuanmen eagerly sat in the seat that Yu Linglong had given up. He could not be happier.
He was watching from the side. He did not expect Yu Linglong to be so talented in cultivation but so poor in chess. She admitted defeat after more than ten moves.
As a member of the royal family, other than his cultivation, he had been influenced by zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting since he was young. Although he could not be called a national player, he was definitely better than Yu Linglong.
He could definitely let Senior play to his heart’s content.
If Senior Liu’s chess skills were not good enough, he could also make way for him when he played chess. When Senior Liu was happy, not only would he reward him with a few magic treasures, he could also give him a few pointers that would benefit him immensely.
Li Xuanmen felt that his abacus was rattling. However, the moment he sat down, he was completely stunned.
This… This was also called playing chess?
Li Xuanmen felt as if he had come to another world.
In the gray s.p.a.ce, there were only horizontal and horizontal dragons. The black and white dragons were roaring face to face.
The truth between heaven and earth filled this s.p.a.ce.
Only then did Li Xuanmen realize that this was not playing chess. This was a compet.i.tion of his understanding of the truth between heaven and earth.
The understanding of the principles of heaven and earth of both sides would be reflected on the dragons of both sides. During the game, the dragons of both sides would devour and bite each other until one side lost.
Only when Li Xuanmen played chess did he realize how ridiculous his idea of giving in was.
The black chess piece held in Senior Liu’s hand was a black dragon that was like a ferocious beast in heaven and earth. It was unbridled and incomparably powerful. The white dragon above his head was as small as an earthworm in front of it.
Liu Changgong’s dragon was overturning the seas and rivers in this s.p.a.ce, but Li Xuanmen’s ‘earthworm’ could not even splash. The gap was too big.
Such a gap made it impossible for people to have any hope. It was like a firefly and the sun, a tiny ant and a huge kun peng.
It was obvious that Senior Liu had shown mercy. The black dragon had changed its target several times when it could devour him. Li Xuanmen was trembling as if he was treading on thin ice. He tried his best, but he still died in the waves when the dragon was rolling.
“Hu hu hu–”
Li Xuanmen panted heavily. His face was as pale as paper as he struggled out of the world of the chessboard.
He looked at the chessboard and realized that he had only used eight moves.
