Chapter 4032

Jiang Shao, Zhou Shao, Hua Shao, and the others are all intelligent people. The Fang and Lan families have been keeping an eye on them and knew that Ren Shao and Wu Shao had come to the Xuan family yesterday, which is why they came here today for a "chance encounter".

Emei sent Liu Ningshuang to send invitations to the ancient cultivators in the capital, showing that they attached great importance to this tea party.

None of Jiang Shao and the others inquired whether Liu Ningshuang had sent invitations to Young Master Chen of Jiangnan and the Tang Clan of Chongqing, nor did they inquire whether she had sent an invitation to Miss Yue.

After receiving the invitations, to show respect to the host, they all opened the invitations in public to see the time and place of the tea party.

As expected, Emei chose the Dongfang family's manor outside the capital to hold the tea party.

The marriage alliance between Mount Emei and the Dongfang family was originally for mutual benefit, and choosing to hold the tea party at the Dongfang family's estate would further enhance the relationship between the two sides.

The tea party is scheduled for October 4th, which is the day before the Double Ninth Festival.

This date must have been carefully chosen by the Emei Sect.

October 5th is the Double Ninth Festival, which is also the birthday of Miss Le's brother. If Miss Le is in Beijing, she usually won't attend any social events and will definitely go to the Chao family to celebrate her brother's birthday.

The Double Ninth Festival falls on a Saturday, and the following day is Sunday, which is also the last day of the National Day holiday. Many people will be setting off back to their workplaces on that day.

Many young people in the ancient cultivation world also have their own jobs, so if the Emei Sect holds a tea party on October 6, many of them will not attend.

The tea party is scheduled for October 4th, so even if the ancient cultivators from other provinces come to Beijing to attend the gathering, their trip will not interfere with their work.

After reading the post, the young men knew the time and place of the tea party. With that in mind, they put away the post and simply drank tea and chatted.

After chatting for a while, the topic turned to chess. None of the young men were willing to admit defeat, so they rolled up their sleeves, set up chessboards, and formed teams to battle it out.

While the young men were playing chess, the Xuan family youths, knowing that the guests were staying for lunch, spared some time to buy more ingredients.

Only two of the Xuan family youths remained in the main hall of the east wing to serve tea, while the others went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

The young men each had their own strengths; some were good at Go, some at military chess, and some at Chinese chess, and they were divided into several groups.

Ren Shao is skilled in Go. He didn't neglect his Go skills while he was in Shishi. He played against Chao Shao every week. Chao Shao's Go level was professional. His Go skills didn't decline but improved.

As the saying goes, "One who is near ink gets stained black," and influenced by Ren Shao and Chao Shao, his Go skills improved significantly.

In Go, Ren Shao defeated Jiang Shao, Zhou Shao, Hua Shao, and Ji Shao who came to challenge him, and also defeated Lan Si Shao and Fang Ba Shao.

Seeing Ren Shao dominating the game, Fang Dashao was unconvinced: "I also know a little about Go, let me make a fool of myself."

"Please—" Young Master Ren smiled and gestured for him to enter.

Young Master Fang sat down on the chair in front of the Arhat chair and tossed a piece of chess with Young Master Ren to decide who would go first. Young Master Ren was black and went first.

Jiang Shao and the others all crowded together to watch.

The young men simply observed without speaking, embodying the virtue of "a true gentleman observes chess without speaking."

After a fierce battle, Young Master Fang lost five pieces.

Unconvinced, he challenged the odds again, losing by five points in the second round and even more miserably in the third, losing by eight points in a row.

Young Master Fang suffered a crushing defeat, and Eighth Young Master Fang looked on in surprise and doubt: "I admit defeat. Our young master's chess skills are comparable to those of an amateur player. I didn't expect him to lose three times in three games. Fortunately, now that we know Young Master Ren is good at chess, we dare not play against you again in the future."

"You flatter me." Ren Shao remained calm. "My chess skills were originally only average to above average, but my chess friend Chao Shao is really good. During the years in Shishi, I suffered countless beatings, and even this terrible chess player like me was trained."

"Young Master Chao is also skilled in Go?" Lan Qishao chimed in at the opportune moment.

"Young Master Chao's Go skills are comparable to those of a professional player. It is said that he was spotted by a national champion when he was young and was almost selected as a seeded Go player." Young Master Ren casually revealed some information, tidied up the Go pieces, and praised Young Master Fang's Go skills, saying that he had only won a few points by luck.

Since Chao Shao had entered politics, Ren Shao was unwilling to talk much about Chao Shao's affairs, and Lan Si Shao didn't press him for details, lest he be misunderstood as invading Chao Shao's privacy.

Young Master Fang lost all three matches and was finally convinced, so he stepped aside.

Tantai Xiaoshao was not afraid of losing, so he went up to take on the challenge.

Unfortunately, Tantai Xiaoshao was almost instantly defeated.

Tantai Xunhuan said with a bitter face, "Young Master Ren, you are so heartless. Can't you go easy on me because I am young and give me some face?"

"The chessboard is like a battlefield, and on the battlefield, it's all about life and death. If Young Master Ren really goes easy on you, it'll be even more embarrassing." Young Master Wu patted Young Master Tantai's head sympathetically: "You brat, go away. Spend more time practicing your chess skills instead of always thinking about promoting your brother."

Tantai Xunhuan's face turned bright red. He glared angrily at Wu Shao but didn't yell. He knew what was important and would avoid mentioning the fairy if possible.

Young Master Tantai lost and abdicated.

No one dared to challenge Young Master Ren's arrogance, so Young Master Xuan was forced to step in.

Xuan Shao's chess skills are on par with Ren Shao's.

The two were evenly matched, locked in a fierce and evenly contested battle. The first two games ended in a draw, with each player winning and losing.

After Ren Shao and Xuan Shao finished their third game, it was almost lunchtime. The other young masters finished their game, tidied up the chessboard, and took a break.

After everyone took a break and chatted for a while, the young man from the Xuan family came to invite them to a restaurant for a meal.

The young masters followed the guests' lead and went with Young Master Xuan and Third Young Master Xuan to the Xuan family's restaurant for lunch, before returning to the main hall of the east wing for some digestive tea.

After sitting for a while, Young Master Fang and his wife bid farewell to their host.

Fang Ba Shao and Lan Qi Shao came from the same place and returned from the same place.

Xuan Shao escorted the guests to the entrance of the main hall in the east wing, Xuan San Shao escorted the guests from the Fang and Lan families out of the second gate, and then the young men of the Xuan family escorted the guests out of the teahouse.

Young Master Fang, along with Liu Ningshuang, Eighth Young Master Fang, and Seventh Young Master Lan, all walked home.

After seeing the guests off, Xuan Sanshao returned to the main hall of the east wing and spoke with Jiang Shao and the others.

The young men originally planned to host a dinner party on the 4th, but since the Mei'e Sect was holding a tea party on the 4th, they decided to reschedule.

Jiang Shao and the others played until mid-afternoon before dispersing.

As Hua Shao and the others were leaving, seeing that Ren Shao and Wu Shao still showed no sign of saying goodbye, Zhou Shao asked, "When are you two going back to Chao Shao's house?"

"Young Master Chao is going out tomorrow afternoon, so we'll go to Chairman Chao's house tomorrow morning." Young Master Wu smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou, are you planning to treat us to dinner? There's no time like the present, we're free tonight."

"We're all unemployed, while you guys have millions in bodyguard fees every year, your pockets are bulging, and you still want to take advantage of our wealth? How dare you?"

Young Master Zhou wasn't fooled and strode away.

"You can't write two Zhous in one stroke. You share the same surname as Zhou the Skinflint, so this stinginess might be contagious." Wu Shao glared at Zhou Shao, puffing out his beard.

"You say I'm stingy? When it's my turn to treat, I'll treat you to plain congee."

Zhou Shao walked with ease, and the other young men were delighted: "Excellent, let's learn from him too."

Wu Shao: "..." Hmph, so you're all xenophobic, huh?
