On the huge terrace, the winding ancient cherry trees pass through the mats, swaying in the wind, and the fallen flowers are colorful.
Under the tree, there is a chessboard. The girl in white clothes and white socks sits quietly under the tree and places the pieces on the chessboard.
The wind blew gently, blowing into Ye Xingyi's heart.
The girl's skin is like cream, her collar is like a beetle, her wrists are like frost and snow, and her eyes are like amber. She has an elegant posture, her brilliant blond hair is hanging around, and the sun doesn't shine half as brightly as hers.
Ye Xingyi was stunned, and his heart seemed to have stopped. This was rude, but he couldn't help it. It seemed as if these eyes no longer belonged to him.
The extremely beautiful woman raised her eyes and looked at this somewhat rude and uninvited guest with a calm and curious look.
"Sit?" The beautiful woman stretched out her slender hands, and her voice sounded like fairy music, which woke Ye Xingyi up.
"Okay!" He immediately responded, reaching out and scratching his head, realizing that he had been a little too rude just now.
He sat down somewhat cautiously. "Is Sister Fairy playing chess?"
Fairy sister?
The beautiful woman gently held up her scattered bright blond hair and smiled softly. I haven't heard such a title for a long time, which made Ye Xingyi's heartbeat almost skip a beat.
"Yes." The woman said softly, looking at the moves on the chessboard very seriously.
Suddenly, the black stars on the upper right corner of the chessboard condensed, forming a black chess piece.
I understand, Sister Fairy is playing chess with someone in the air.
Ye Xingyi's heart moved and he looked at the black and white confrontation on the chessboard.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. After a quick glance, you realize that the two sides in this game are extremely unbalanced. One side's formation is well-organized and full of traps, while the other side's formation is riddled with holes.
One side swept, so to speak.
Unfortunately, the fairy sister was the one who was swept away.
After pondering for a long time, the stunning woman raised her hand and picked up a white stone, somewhat hesitantly. Should we attack or be more conservative and reorganize our defeated army?
It would be better to be more conservative. She hesitated a little before placing the chess piece down.
"No, don't put it here." Ye Xingyi suddenly stopped her.
"Oh?" The stunning woman looked up at him.
Although Fairy Sister's move could connect her two almost-divided chess pieces, it undoubtedly gave up the slightest chance she had.
"Down here." After Ye Xingyi thought for a moment, he pointed his finger at the hinterland of the opponent's chess piece.
"Huh?" The chess piece fell, Ye Xingyi used offense as defense, and the situation instantly improved. At that moment, the chess piece was like an army nailed to the enemy's hinterland, so that the Fairy Sister's two chess pieces could join in at any time, stabbing the opponent like a thorn in the back.
The stunning woman's long and beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, obviously she also saw the significance of this step.
"Not bad." Facing Ye Xingyi, she smiled softly, her beautiful eyes gleaming.
"Ah..." Ye Xingyi was dying, completely intoxicated by the beauty's beauty.
Obviously, he has forgotten that he still seems to have something to solve.
"Why hasn't he come back yet?" Xixia looked at the 90% dragon jade steps outside the hall. The guy had disappeared for some time.
"Lost?" Ya Xiu smiled, no way.
The two of them had been sitting at the guest table for a long time. In the early morning, the place was full of officials who came to court, but now it was afternoon, except for the attendants carrying fruits and changing clothes, there was no one there.
In the splendid hall, the red carpet inlaid with agate stones was empty and silent.
"This is too stupid." Xixia was speechless. She couldn't find any adjectives to describe her. She volunteered but got lost on the way.
"The time seems to be coming soon." Ash leaned back in his chair, his eyes scanning the high black dome aimlessly. At night, the attendants would seal the stars, but now only the golden base remained.
After changing clothes, there was not much time left, but now being delayed by Ye Xingyi, Ash seemed to have heard the hurried footsteps of the messenger.
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
As expected, there were rapid footsteps in the corridor behind the main hall's main seat.
A young herald dressed in black walked over quickly. Before the two His Highnesses could get up, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty announces that current affairs have delayed us. Your Highnesses will wait for a while before entering."
"Ah?" The two of them asked questions at the same time, why was Your Majesty delayed too.
Behind the central hall is the Yutian Palace, which represents the supreme power. Without His Majesty's instructions, they cannot enter rashly.
"Just in time, wait for him." Ya Xiu smiled, but he didn't expect Ye Xingyi to be so lucky.
"Hey... I originally wanted to see Master scold him." Xixia held her cheek with her hands in frustration, bored, bored, really bored.
"Win." The stunning woman fell to the last stone. The situation was originally in ruins, but Ye Xingyi's step-by-step help reversed the situation, which brought a smile to her beautiful brows.
"Haha, I finally won." Ye Xingyi wiped his sweat and said honestly, the opponent's chess skills are not inferior to him at all. Moreover, when the situation is so bad, a stunning woman can't do it even if she is even less beautiful. .
"Oh, by the way, I have something else to do!" Ye Xingyi slapped his thigh and remembered the important matter of going to see Empress Xingluo.
"Oh, is it important?" the stunning woman said with a hint of regret.
"It's very important. Let's play chess again when we have the chance." Ye Xingyi stood up, turned around and walked out of the terrace, but stopped again.
He doesn't know the way yet.
"Um, Sister Fairy, do you know how to get to the Central Hall?" He asked with an embarrassed look on his face.
The stunning woman smiled softly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and amber light bloomed.
Ye Xingyi only felt a shock wave coming towards him. After being in a trance for a while, a mark was already engraved in his mind.
It's a road map.
"Thank you, Sister Fairy!" Ye Xingyi sighed in his heart. What a profound realm. "See you next time then."
He turned around and ran down the terrace. After putting on his boots, he waved without looking back. The stunning woman also raised her delicate hands and waved gently at his back.
What an interesting kid.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Ye Xingyi walked through the 90% dragon jade steps and entered the main hall.
"Where have you been?" Xixia's expression was hard to explain.
"Uh, I'm lost..." Ye Xingyi scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I'm really lost." Xisha tilted her head and said to Ash.
Ya Xiu smiled helplessly, but he didn't expect that he was right.
Ye Xingyi sat down next to Ya Xiu, shaking his head and looking left and right. "I'm not late, am I?"
"Not really. The herald said that Your Majesty was delayed because of something, otherwise we would have been in Yutian Palace."
"Okay then." Ye Xingyi sat down embarrassedly, obviously he had just been too fascinated by the beauty... ah no... chess skills.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came again in the corridor, and the young men stood up. Sure enough, it was the herald dressed in black.
"Your Majesty announces that three young heroes will be invited to enter the palace."
"His Majesty?"
