Yuquan Mountain, beside Qixing Lake.
Zhao Yuding is playing chess with Xiangxiu.
The two communicated with each other about recent events.
"His painting skills are very average." Xiangxiu commented.
Zhao Yuding smiled and said: "He played a game of chess with me. At first, I thought his chess skills were average."
"Oh? And flipping?" Xiangxiu was surprised.
Zhao Yuding said softly: "He knows the rules of chess, but he doesn't understand chess. He actually wants to directly deduce every change on the chessboard."
"Doesn't he know that the chessboard doesn't look big, but it's actually like a starry sky, with so many changes and it's as vast as stars." Xiangxiu said, staring at the chessboard.
"He doesn't understand." Zhao Yuding said with a smile, "He doesn't like playing chess because it's too difficult to calculate."
"Because of this, you looked at him favorably?" Xiangxiu's delicate eyebrows raised slightly, and she could hear Zhao Yuding's praise and care for Li Su.
Zhao Yuding brushed his beard, and a white chess piece jumped out of the chess tube and fell into the chess board, "This is just a trivial thing.
He belongs to the Golden Scale Sect, and I was sure of this from the moment he came to Yuquan Mountain. "
"Because of Jiangzuo?" Xiangxiu also fell into disarray.
"Didn't you hear anything on your way back?" Zhao Yuding looked at Xiangxiu, "How do I feel that you don't have a good impression of my disciple?"
Xiangxiu explained: "I came back in a hurry."
Then he added: "I heard a lot of good things about your new disciple from Princess Yunran."
"But?" Zhao Yuding asked.
"His painting skills are very average." Xiangxiu said. She clearly remembered the pot of aged tea in Boyang's calligraphy and painting shop in Gusu City.
"The painter is very average..." Zhao Yuding smiled and said, "That's a bit difficult to handle."
Talisman masters are usually painters, and among his seven disciples, there happens to be a talisman master who is proficient in painting.
"It's too impulsive for you to ask him to make a three-year agreement with the Painting Saint." Xiangxiu said softly, "Even with the full support of the Golden Scale Sect, it will be difficult for him to truly grow up in three years."
"If he wants to save Jiang Zuo, he only needs to reach the execution ground and defeat the executioner." Zhao Yuding moved his sleeves lightly, and another white stone fell into the chessboard.
"I am playing this game of chess."
"You?" Xiangxiu glanced up and down at Zhao Yuding.
Zhao Yuding laughed and added: "With you."
"Not enough." Xiangxiu shook her head and said, "You should know very well what you have to face if you want to rescue someone in Chaoge City."
"We have three years to prepare." Zhao Yuding was very calm, "Perhaps, after three years, Emperor Qian will take the initiative to release Jiang Zuo."
"Don't be too naive." Xiangxiu shook her head, stared at Zhao Yuding, and said seriously, "You can't give up everything for Jiang Zuo."
Zhao Yuding smiled, looked at Xiangxiu, and said jokingly: "I should be the one to advise you."
Xiangxiu stared at Zhao Yuding coldly.
Zhao Yuding laughed dryly.
"It's too early to talk about things three years from now."
"Let's first see to what extent my disciple can grow in these three years."
"..."
Xiangxiu didn't say anything more. She looked at the chessboard and dropped a black stone.
When the outcome of the chess game was decided, Xiangxiu's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, a message sounded in Zhao Yuding's ears, "Ning Bing is here."
Zhao Yuding looked at the chess game that was about to win, and his face twitched slightly... He was just one step away from winning!
In the eyes of outsiders, the junior sister who looks like a fairy in this world has a completely different image to him.
It is obvious that his chess ability is much higher than that of this junior sister, but he has not really won a game between the two.
Bai Ningbing walked over slowly.
Her steps were full of hesitation.
"Now that you're here, don't hesitate anymore." Zhao Yuding chuckled, "Just in time, there is a chess game here, let's see if you can break it."
"Okay." Bai Ningbing walked faster and sat down opposite Zhao Yuding. She glanced at the chessboard and couldn't help but twitch her eyelids.
Is this the endgame?
This is a losing battle.
Can't even take two steps!
"I came here to ask about my junior brother." Bai Ningbing said directly without giving in.
"Haha, let's play chess first." Zhao Yuding chuckled, brushing his beard.
Bai Ningbing ignored it and said to herself: "I want to know, is Master planning to give the Jade Spring Spirit Mirror to my junior brother?"
"Send it off?" Zhao Yuding looked at Bai Ningbing, "Master, I remember that when you first entered the mountain gate, you also came into contact with the Yuquan Spiritual Mirror in Yuquan Cave.
In fact, you all have equal opportunities, and my teacher has never treated any of you favorably. "
Bai Ningbing lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.
Back then, in the Yuquan Cave, she had indeed come into contact with the Yuquan Spiritual Mirror.
It was that time that my sister Bai Ningshuang fell into the spiritual mirror.
She also knew that the other senior sisters had come into contact with the Yuquan Spiritual Mirror.
"What you want to ask about shouldn't be the Jade Spring Spiritual Mirror, right?" Zhao Yuding said with a smile, "Are you here for Ningshuang?"
"Yes." Bai Ningbing nodded. She had never cared about the Yuquan Spiritual Mirror from the beginning, and she would not think too much about Li Su's acquisition of the Yuquan Spiritual Mirror.
"Are you worried that Boyang will bully Ningshuang?" Zhao Yuding asked thoughtfully.
Bai Ningbing remained silent.
"You underestimate Boyang too much." Zhao Yuding said softly, "It is true that he is sometimes inconsistent, but his character is beyond doubt."
"Master, you forgot one thing." Bai Ningbing said quietly.
Zhao Yuding was startled and said hesitantly: "What did you forget, Master?"
"While we were at the Purple Bamboo Forest, Ningshuang tamed our junior brother." Bai Ningbing said in a dull voice.
"Uh..." Zhao Yuding paused and subconsciously wanted to say, 'Aren't you the one who was tamed?', but stopped in time when the words came to his lips.
He remembered that at that time, the sixth disciple, together with Bai Ningshuang, put on a play for him.
Obviously, being tamed by Li Su was an unspeakable shame.
If exposed in person, the sixth disciple would probably collapse...
"There's no need to worry about that." Zhao Yuding looked at the disciple in front of him and chuckled, "Let's not talk about whether that kid can enter the spiritual mirror space. Even if he can enter, what can he do to a white tiger?"
"I'm worried...if he finds out that Ningshuang is my sister..." Bai Ningbing whispered.
Zhao Yuding brushed his beard, knowing that what this disciple was really worried about was not his sister Bai Ningshuang, but the disciple himself.
After all, it was not Bai Ningshuang who was truly tamed at that time.
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yuding said with a smile, "You have to trust your sister, she will keep it secret for you."
"That's all it can do." Bai Ningbing frowned and shook her head helplessly. She immediately realized something was wrong and her whole face froze.
Instantly flushed.
