In the Shureman's booklet, Jing Jiu is ranked seventeenth in chess, and Tong Yan is number one. I believe the odds in those private bets should be similar.
If you bet on him getting the first place in the chess game, and he can really do it, then he should be able to make a lot of money.
Although he could directly give this family a box of gold leaves, it was not as clean and safe as this one.
It is only natural for the Jing family to bet on their son.
Just to see if the family will believe his story and bet a lot of money on his victory firmly or foolishly.

Chaotian Continent is extremely vast, and the area where the aura of heaven and earth is most concentrated runs through the center of the entire continent, like a green luan. Zhongzhou, where Chaoge City is located, is the head of that Qingluan. It can be said to be unparalleled in the world in terms of the amount and density of aura. The wings of Qingluan are the area covered by Daqingshan. The density of aura is slightly lower but purer. .
Until now, the practice community has not been able to judge which of these two places is more suitable for practice. It's just that the aura density is more important for those fetuses who naturally breathe the vitality of heaven and earth in their mother's womb. It is precisely for this reason that Zhongzhou has always been a place where geniuses emerge in endlessly, which directly led to the Zhongzhou School becoming the number one school today.
The Qingshan sect is located in the southern continent, so of course it will not let go of the opportunity to recruit students around Chaoge City. Among the dozens of Qingshan disciples who came to participate in the Meihui and watch the ceremony this time, there are several Chaoge disciples. Zhao Layue is the most typical success case, and of course it is also the biggest regret of the Zhongzhou School over the years.
When he came to Chaoge City, Zhao Layue naturally didn't have to live in Xianju.
After receiving the letter, she talked to her family, put on her hat, walked through the silky drizzle, and came to the alley not far from Taichang Temple.
The wooden door slammed and then parted, Jing's parents-in-law warmly welcomed her in.
Standing in the courtyard, Zhao Layue looked around, feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere here.
This is indeed the Jing family, but such a family does not seem to be able to raise someone like Jing Jiu.
However, ascetics will always have various discomforts when they return to their homes in the secular world. This discomfort will not end until the relatives in the secular world get old and disappear.
At that moment, the ascetic is truly on his own path.
Zhao Layue thought that the feeling at this time came from this classic question in the practice world, so she didn't think much about it, but soon got a completely different answer from Jing Jiu.
"They are not my real family members, and my identity and history are all forged."
When Jing Jiu invited her here, he never thought of hiding it from her.
Zhao Layue was startled, and said, "Then?"
"No, I just wanted to tell you."
Jing Jiu looked at her messy hair, which was obviously left unattended, and asked, "Where's the maid at home?"
"I'm not used to having people around me."
Zhao Layue rubbed her head casually, and her hair became more messy.
Jing Jiu shook his head, took out the Yinwood comb and handed it over.
Zhao Layue took it and combed it twice, and her black hair suddenly became soft, and said, "This comb is really easy to use."
Jing Jiu said, "Last night I went to find the roller."
Zhao Layue's eyes became sharper, and she asked, "Then?"
"No, I just wanted to tell you." Jing Jiu said.
Zhao Layue said: "Then when will you tell me your real identity?"
Jing Jiu said, "In the future."
Zhao Layue said, "Why have you been avoiding Nan Wang?"
Nan Wang is the real name of Qingrong Peak Lord.
Jing Jiu was silent for a while, then said, "In the future."
No and later are the two most frequently used words in this conversation.
Zhao Layue was a little annoyed, and said, "Then what did you call me for?"
"I'm going to tell you another secret."
Jing Jiu said: "This small courtyard was arranged by Lu Guogong, and he can be contacted here."
Zhao Layue was silent for a while, and asked, "Is this the arrangement of Master Jingyang's uncle before his ascension?"
Now that he heard the word Jing Jing, Jing Jiu was able to calm down and said, "He was worried about something happening, so he reserved some resources, this yard, and you... me."
Zhao Layue was silent for a while, and said: "I don't understand, since Master Uncle sensed something wrong beforehand, why did he insist on ascending?"
Jing Jiu was also silent for a while, and said, "The temptation to ascend may be too difficult to bear."
Zhao Layue said: "Duke Lu is popular in the court, can you trust him?"
Jing Jiu took out the wooden sign and handed it to her, saying, "Yes, if you or your family have any problems in Chaoge City, come here to look for him with this wooden sign, and the mechanism is on the bluestone next to the door. You have already done the concealment of Shenmo Peak, you can find it if you look carefully with your sword sense."
Zhao Layue said: "You gave me the Firth sword and the wooden sign, so what else do you have?"
Jing Jiu said, "I'm just too lazy to deal with these things and let you stand in front."
Zhao Layue said, "Just like when you ascended the God's Last Peak?"
Jing Jiu said, "Yes."
Zhao Layue thought for a while, took the wooden sign, and said, "Okay, if I can't walk anymore, remember to take me with you."
Jing Jiu said, "Definitely."
"This time, a female disciple named Guodong came to Meihui Shuiyue Temple. She is very mysterious. No one has seen it before. It is said that she is Lian Sanyue's closed disciple."
Zhao Layue said suddenly.
Jing Jiu didn't understand why she cared so much, since she never cared about such things.
"I heard that Master Uncle had some problems with Lian Sanyue back then? How many times have you fought?"
When she was speaking, she stared into Jing Jiu's eyes.
Jing Jiu thought for a while and said, "The relationship between the two of them... there are indeed some problems, and they have indeed fought against each other."
Zhao Layue said: "In that case, how can I lose to Lian Sanyue's apprentice as a reincarnated disciple of my uncle?"
Jing Jiu noticed her eager eyes, and realized that she was here for real, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"The women in Shuiyue Temple are always beautiful, and they are more famous than Qingrong Peak."
Zhao Layue suddenly felt that her hair was a little short and her eyebrows a little thick.
She walked to the mirror and looked at it for a long time, covered her thick eyebrows with her index fingers, and asked, "Would this be better?"
Jing Jiu walked up behind her, reached out and stroked her hair, and said with a smile, "It's so cute."
Zhao Layue was slightly annoyed, but said nothing.
Jing Jiu went on to say, "What is there to compare it to? Anyway, you don't know how to play the piano."
Tomorrow, the Meihui will start.
Qinqi calligraphy and painting, the first item is the piano.
The disciples of Shuiyue Temple are the best at guqin. At the Four Seas Banquet, it was Mo Xianjun who won the first place in the piano practice. Even the closed disciple of Sanyue will only be better at guqin.
Zhao Layue stared at him in the mirror and said, "You really want to die."

The law and order in Chaoge City has always been excellent. There are countless divine guards and court powerhouses here, and there is a large formation that gathers the aura of heaven and earth, enough to cover and kill the powerhouses of the sea-breaker. Not to mention those small thieves and robbers, practitioners of various sects dare not cause trouble here casually.
According to the previous rules, practitioners are strictly forbidden to fly directly into the city unless the imperial court specifically allows it, but these days because of the Mei Hui, this ban has been temporarily lifted, and the people in the city can see swords drawn in the blue sky from time to time Light or the clear light of the magic weapon has attracted countless applause and discussions.
Of course, there are still many scholars waving their arms emotionally in the streets and alleys, telling the people that the vision in the sky is just a trick played by the court, there are no practitioners in the world, and there are no monsters born from eating snow in the north. It's all just to let the Qing Tiansi and the Zhenbei Army get more military pay, and those military pays will naturally fall into the hands of the adults. For example, the huge sum of money spent in this year's Meihui actually belongs to the concubine Hu Gui in the palace. She took it to a certain monk, if you don't believe me, then I've been talking here for so long, why haven't I seen any sword fairy flying a white light and beheading himself
Naturally, there was no scene of a white light beheading thousands of miles away, because this is Chaoge City, practitioners will not kill people at will, and no practitioner is willing to pay attention to these crazy scholars. The court is also very busy, and Qing Tiansi, who was directly accused, is even busier , There are more than a thousand representatives from various sects participating in the Meihui, and the registration, accommodation, and arrangement procedures have already piled up, not to mention the official start of the Meihui today. The adults have already gone to the Meiyuan, and the officials have many things to do. Reporting everywhere, they scurry around like headless flies, the flying chariot rises and falls from time to time, and the self-propelled wooden chair developed by Lumen rampages in the courtyard of the government office. It is really chaotic to a certain extent.
Shi Fengchen was very idle, sitting by the window with a teacup in his hand, watching these pictures with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
