Chapter 53: How Big the Stage is, How Much Face Is Lost

Everyone watched the two secretly tit-for-tat, and saw Ji Siruo proudly changing seats. Just when they thought Ji Liuyu was about to leave, they heard Ji Liuyu's neither humble nor arrogant voice, "Thank you for your love, I'll be fine just sitting here."

As soon as she said this, Concubine Shu snorted and looked at Ji Liuyu with a more dissatisfied look.

Really disrespectful.

The people around were ashamed when they saw Ji Liuyu's reaction. The queen didn't have a good impression of Qingyun Sect, but Ji Liuyu even offended the imperial concubine.

She looks pretty, but who would have thought that it was all changed by her brain.

Faced with the buzz around her, Ji Liuyu remained calm and composed, almost not eating melon seeds on the spot.

Perhaps she was too calm and made the theatergoers unhappy.

"Every time there is a hibiscus party held in Dajiang's backyard, there will be four games of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As a swordsman, it is natural for her not to sit in there."

"Ji Siruo not only practices swordsmanship, but also practices the art of harp. The harp and sword depend on each other. She is one of the few extremely talented female cultivators in the Dao. What else can Ji Liuyu do besides swordplay? The joke is yet to come!"

"In order to completely overwhelm the Qingyun Sect at the banquet this time, Ji Siruo even invited Xue Xiang. Xue Xiang was born in the Dongliu Sword Sect and was good at chess. He is now the Right Chancellor and is highly appreciated by His Majesty. Since he is willing to attend

, do you think people from the Qingyun Sect can still go back with a smile?"

As everyone said this, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on the noble-looking young man next to Ji Siruo.

Xue Li's eyes swept over Ji Liuyu, unable to understand that the object that made his junior sister anxious day and night was just such a beautiful woman in front of him.

In other words, he didn't believe that it was such a woman who was only at the Golden Core Stage who ruined the reputation of the Dongliu Sword Sect just last night.

The place must be recovered.

So Xue Li invited Ji Liuyu to play chess.

The people present were not surprised by his move. The Furong Society seemed to be a gathering of heroes, but in fact the real center of the struggle was only the Qingyun Sect and the Dongliu Sword Sect.

The rest are just watching from the other side, each with their own agenda.

Seeing this, Fan Luochen frowned slightly, "That's inappropriate."

"Why don't I go."

He observed that Ji Liuyu's usual words and deeds did not seem to be influenced by music, chess, calligraphy and painting. There was always only a strong murderous aura surrounding her.

Rude, cruel and indifferent. Except for that face, the rest is far from poetic and picturesque.

Li Qingyao also looked at Ji Liuyu worriedly, "Liuyu, what do you think?"

Ji Liuyu calmly swallowed a grape and said, "Playing chess is the simplest thing."

Hearing these words, the air was silent for a moment. Then, unconcealed sneers came from everywhere.

Even Xue Li couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Practice the sword ten thousand times, and miracles will appear, but play chess ten thousand times, and the game may still be dead."

"Playing chess is different from practicing swordsmanship. It requires brains."

After he finished speaking, the whole hall burst into laughter.

Ji Liuyu stood up slowly and glanced at him, "Really? If you really have the brains to practice swordsmanship, you won't be able to swallow the strength of the Moon Realm."

"I was born in a sword sect, but I put chess in front of kendo. Isn't it because my sword is not good? After all, if you really meet an enemy, do you use the sword in your hand to cut it, or do you persuade others to sit down and play chess with you calmly?"

Xue Li's expression changed when she said this, "The way of chess is the way of wisdom. There are more swordsmen in the world than there are more wise men. The former is just a chess piece in the latter's hand."

Ji Liuyu sneered, "My practice is not deep, but my attitude is quite high."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Li slowly compiled his words, "If this was not said by a woman who had just formed an elixir, there might be some truth to it."

Ji Liuyu shook his head, "Playing chess is just playing chess, it has nothing to do with advanced cultivation."

The two of them didn't talk to each other.

Soon, the chess game full of gunpowder began.

The so-called chess battle is actually no different from playing chess in ordinary times, except that both parties are monks, and the competition is the endurance of intelligence and spiritual consciousness.

So huge chessboards were projected throughout the palace, and the battle situation began to be reported simultaneously for people to watch.

Yan Yan sat beside him and couldn't stop. He pulled Li Qingyao's sleeve and said, "Sister Yao, let's go make money!"

Li Qingyao was surprised, "Ah? You mean..."

Yanyan is a money fan, "Let's bet outside the palace. I saw many people rushing there. People in Kyoto are stupid and have a lot of money. If we don't make money, we won't make it in vain!"

Fan Luochen looked sideways, "Bet? Bet on Ji Liuyu? Are you so sure that Ji Liuyu can win?"

Yan Yan said to him, "Otherwise, not to mention one Xue Li, even a hundred are not enough to fight. Even if you do, the result will be the same!"

Fan Luochen found it interesting, "Do you think I will lose to Ji Liuyu?"

Yanyan held her chest proudly, "Even if the Demon Lord comes, he will still lose. How do you compare to the Demon Lord?"

In his eyes, his father is prettier than Fan Luochen, cooler than him, stronger than him, in any case, everything is better than him except for his dog-like temper.

Even my father would lose to my mother in chess, let alone anyone else.

Fan Luochen said, "I haven't seen it or played it before. If you have a chance, you can give it a try."

Yan Yan made a face at him, pulled Li Qingyao and left.

Fan Luochen looked at his little back and felt a little depressed.

Is his child's fate so bad?

At this time, the battle on Ji Liuyu's side also began.

On the high seat, Empress Shen could not take his eyes away. Concubine Shu whispered a few instructions to the maid beside her, and she slowly stepped down and left.

At the beginning of the game, Ji Liuyu first made a shocking statement, "I will give you three sons."

After hearing this, the crowd was in commotion.

When playing chess, it is always important to make the first move. Giving up a piece without any reason is a sign of contempt and arrogance.

Xue Li was stunned for a moment, then his expression gradually became colder, "Maybe you haven't heard of my name and don't know me well."

Ji Liuyu didn't even raise his head, "I don't need to understand either."

After saying this, everyone around him was sweating.

"I've never seen someone talk so wildly in my life!"

Ji Siruoyi sneered unceremoniously, "How presumptuous! Who does she think she is? I'll let her know in a moment what it means to be embarrassed no matter how big the stage is!"

Empress Shen also raised her eyebrows slightly and focused her gaze on Ji Liuyu.

After Xue Li experienced a brief fluctuation in his expression, he reached out and picked up a white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard to start the game.

After three pieces were passed, Ji Liuyu's black chess piece quickly followed up. The two began to move chess pieces one after another. Suddenly, the entire hall was silent with only the sound of falling pieces.

At first, everyone thought that Xue Li would end the chess game quickly.

Because he is a chess master and a person who is admired by His Majesty today.

He deserves to win.

But the fact is that in the chess game between the two of them, Ji Liuyu never showed any weakness from the beginning.

A spectator who didn't understand chess asked an expert about the situation of the battle, but was dismissed by the latter, "I'm busy! I'm busy! Don't disturb me watching chess!"

Seeing that they were all affectionate and serious, and sweating profusely, some of them had already figured out the clue.

The others asked cautiously, "Are they fighting fiercely?"

"It's not just awesome, it's simply inhumane! No, it's just a chess game. Is that what it is?!"

Seeing the palpitating expressions on the faces of the expert chess watchers, everyone was as quiet as chickens, not daring to speak casually and expose their remaining IQs.

A few more breaths passed, and Xue Li's chess inevitably slowed down as Ji Liuyu pressed forward step by step.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, he was thinking very seriously, and his expression became extremely serious, "You really surprised me."

Ji Liuyu, "Oh, so what?"

This sentence made Xue Li a little embarrassed. He thought that Ji Liuyu would at least give him a business blow!

As if she finally realized something, Ji Liuyu commented, "Your chess..."

Halfway through speaking, Xue Li's heart skipped a beat, but finally he heard her sigh.

"generally."
