When she said this, Tong Yan's expression was very indifferent, and her tone was very ordinary, but when she tasted it carefully, she was extremely mean and full of ridicule, because this kind of contempt was almost ignored.
Shang Jiulou's expression changed suddenly, his face was flushed, but he couldn't speak, because even he himself had to admit that the gap between him and Tongyan was too far in terms of talent.
Exaggerated laughter sounded in front of the big tree.
"Hahahaha... Tong Yan, you are as proud as the rumors say, you have no eyes... But, I like it very much."
Gu Yuanyuan said with a smile: "I have studied all your chess records carefully. I admit that your talent is indeed very powerful, but I am not bad either. Try it later?"
Tong Yan glanced at him, and said: "The sword master can't play chess, and it's really unwise to expect you to change the impression that the northerners are barbaric and unintelligent."
Gu Yuanyuan was a little annoyed and said, "Why do you say that?"
"He can't play chess, so how can you tell you can play chess?"
Tong Yan said this sentence with a blank face, and continued to walk forward.
Que Niang squatted down slightly, and saluted him as a teacher.
Tong Yan didn't stop, and said: "I don't like playing chess with this northern kid, and I beat him."
Hearing this, Que Niang was very happy, knowing that it was a great recognition to hear such words from Tong Yan.
The freckles on the girl's face seemed to jump up, and Gu Yuanyuan's expression became extremely ugly.
Bai Zao quietly looked at the scene in the forest, and she could barely see the white gauze, she shook her head imperceptibly.
Xiang Wanshu followed Tong Yan forward, with a wry smile on his face.
Although the Zhongzhou faction is the largest faction in the world—many people think so, at least the disciples of the Zhongzhou faction think so—but the senior brother's words and deeds are too strong and direct. The old masters of Yimao Zhai should not pay attention to these trivial matters, but Gu Yuanyuan was the one who was snatched from the Zhengbei Army by Master Daosheng himself.
Not to mention senior brother, you actually directly said that Lord Sword Saint is unwise...
If Master Dao Sheng is really angry, who knows if those teachers will take the opportunity to make trouble, and your marriage with senior sister will probably encounter even greater resistance.
…
…
"Tong Yan, you have some problems with your mood today. You talk too much nonsense. I'm a little worried."
Suddenly there was a voice in the valley.
Followed by a smell of alcohol, the smell is not pungent, even for a person like Que Niang who hates drinking the most, it is not unpleasant.
…
…
Hearing the sound and smelling the aroma of the wine, he was startled, his expression became agitated, and he quickly tugged on Jing Jiu's sleeve.
"The really powerful person is here!"
The big man who emerged from the weeds was called He Zhan.
In the monastic world, he has a more famous title called - the second person.
Zhao Layue asked: "Why is it called this name?"
Sese explained: "Because no matter whether it is the Meihui or the Dao competition, he can get it, and he can only get the second..."
Zhao Layue raised her eyebrows and said, "Can he participate in the battle for the Dao?"
Sese sighed and said: "Sister Zhao, it seems that you really don't chat very much... I'm digressing again, anyway, he is a special case. Let's talk about going back to the Meihui. He has participated in three Meihui. No. 2, calligraphy, painting and Taoist warfare are also No. 2. It can be said that he is a real talent, omnipotent, and I don’t know how many girls like him.”
Zhao Layue asked: "Since you are all-rounder, why don't you participate in the piano competition?"
Sese said: "I heard that he thinks playing the piano is something only women do."
Zhao Layue shook her head. She was not interested in this person any more, but she was a little puzzled. To be able to get so many second places in the Meihui, she must be very famous. Why had she never heard of this name
"He is a casual cultivator, um... It is said that he has contacts with those evil sects. The young master of Xuanyin Sect is his good friend, so the teachers have been secretly suppressing his reputation. Of course he is still very famous. You and Jing Jiu don't know He... I was surprised too."
Thurse was helpless.
Zhao Layue knew that the young master of the Xuanyin Sect was said to have better talent in cultivation than Luo Huainan, and was extremely famous in the cultivation world.
—Even she has heard of it, it is really famous.
"Since he has contacts with the evil sect, why is he allowed to participate in the Meihui? Even the Daoist dispute."
"It is said that the elders of various sects took pity on his talent and couldn't bear to see him really fall into evil ways, so they took good care of him..."
Sese suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Mommy said, it's actually because he doesn't belong, and many sects want to accept him as a disciple, so they act like this."
Listening to this, Jing Jiu felt that the person named He Zhan was a good one, and that the second person had a good title, so he wanted to accept it.
He touched his wrist subconsciously, only to realize that the sword rope had already been put on the hand of Yingcheng Xiaohe, that little fox. Ten years old should have left that small mountain village by now, I hope everything goes well, and I will still be that boy when I return, don't be like my senior brother...
…
…
He Zhan's figure is very burly. It seems that he has been lying in the weeds just now, otherwise he must have been seen long ago.
He brushed off the grass clippings from his clothes, walked up to Tong Yan with the wine jug, looked him up and down, a little suspicious.
Tong Yan had a different attitude towards him, and said, "I thought you wouldn't come this time."
"There is excitement to watch, of course I want to come."
He Zhan looked at the distant stream and smiled.
Jing Jiu and the others were there.
Tong Yan glanced over there, and said, "You and I are both madmen, it's just that there is one more, so why bother?"
"The other day I met a teenager who was the complete opposite of us lunatics. I was inspired and made progress."
He Zhan said seriously: "I think I can beat you now."
Tong Yan said, "Really?"
He Zhan said: "If you are still at the same level as last year in Shuangshan Town."
Tong Yan said: "Then you have no hope this year."
After saying this, he continued to walk up the mountain.
He Zhan followed his footsteps, and said reluctantly, "If I haven't played before, I won't believe you."
The eyes are full of green trees, and the sun is shining on the stream.
When Tong Yan passed by, she didn't look at Jing Jiu and the others.
He Zhan stopped, bowed his hands to them, and asked earnestly, "You... are you the one?"
When questioning, he didn't look at Jing Jiu, but Zhao Layue.
Obviously, he didn't care about Jing Jiu who took part in the chess match, but was just curious about the legendary Zhao Layue.
Zhao Layue said, "How?"
He Zhan lifted the flagon in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Layue shook her head.
He Zhan showed a bored expression.
Sese asked curiously: "Is this the keel wine you brewed in the rumors?"
"It's just an old Jiao, killed by the real person of the previous generation. I just got lucky and picked up a few bones."
He Zhan said with a smile: "Besides, it has been soaked for so many years, it has long been useless, but the taste is not bad, want to try it?"
Sese glanced at Senior Sister Cui from the corner of her eye.
He Zhan smiled and said, "Let's go over there for a chat?"
…
…
He Zhan took the little girl to the upper reaches of the stream to eat grilled fish and drink.
Not everyone has as much fun as they do.
People's attention is on Tong Yan, and they are very curious which pavilion he will choose.
Tong Yan was standing on the edge of a cliff, looking out of the mountain with her hands behind her back, the wind was blowing her clothes, whistling.
There is no pavilion there, just like the stream where Jing Jiu is.
The discussion in Qipanshan became louder and louder.
Tong Yan seems to be ready to stand on the edge of the cliff until the chess meeting begins.
Who knows how long it will be.
Zhao Layue suddenly said to Jing Jiu, "Don't take out the chair."
Jing Jiu was about to take out the bamboo chair, he was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "You also care about this?"
Zhao Layue said: "Today you are representing Qingshan in the battle, so you must be careful."
Jing Jiu thought it made sense, so he sat down on the grass.
