Learn a small skill every day and embark on a crazy life

Chapter 59: Heaven and Earth Harmony Appears
Lan Xin saw that Xie Liuliang didn't want to talk about the ring, so she tactfully changed the subject: "Mr. Xie's chess moves just now were really exquisite. Lan Xin admires him very much. I wonder where Mr. Xie learned from. Can you help Lan Xin solve this puzzle?"

Xie Liuliang pretended to be silent for a long while before he slowly said, "To be honest, my teacher and I are just from a remote town. We came to Tianhuang City this time to travel around the world and gain more knowledge."

After hearing this, Lan Xin became even more curious.

Is there any other remote town in the world that can produce such a person?
However, since Xie Liuliang was unwilling to reveal it, she did not ask any more questions. She just smiled and nodded, and continued with his words: "So that's how it is. Young Master Xie is so young, but he has such good chess skills. I think his master must be an extraordinary master."

Xie Liuliang just smiled faintly and didn't respond.

He was not good at speaking to begin with, and now he was even more frugal with his words, for fear of accidentally revealing the truth.

Seeing that he was not moving in, Lan Xin felt a little helpless but not annoyed and did not ask any more questions.

……

After a while, Lan Xin walked lightly and came to Shen Qiu's room on the top floor.

She lowered her eyebrows, looked pitiful, and said softly: "Master, Lan Xin did not do her job well, please punish her."

Shen Qiu was lying on the couch, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand, and said nonchalantly: "Oh, what happened to make our Miss Lan Xin so upset? Tell me about it, so that I can have some fun, hahahaha..."

"The Lord will make fun of me..."

Lan Xin glanced at him coquettishly, and then said: "Today, Lan Xin was itching to show off her skills, so she played a game of chess with someone, but who knew..."

Having said this, Lan Xin paused deliberately, as if she couldn't bear to say it out loud.

Shen Qiu's curiosity was aroused. He sat up straight, stuffed the remaining grapes in his hand into his mouth, and asked vaguely: "Who knows what, could it be that you also lost?"

Lan Xin bit her lip and nodded gently, saying in a weak voice: "Lan Xin lost to Mr. Xie because of carelessness. There is also a prize... five hundred taels of gold..."

"Pfft...cough cough cough!"

Shen Qiu was choked by the grape pit in his mouth and started coughing violently.

Five hundred taels of gold, just went down the drain?

My money, Shen Qiu covered his chest in pain, feeling that he had difficulty breathing.

Lan Xin saw Shen Qiu's strange expression and felt uneasy. She explained carefully, "My Lord, it's all Lan Xin's fault. I underestimated the enemy."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just five hundred taels of gold, if you lose it, you lose it, I don't take it to heart."

Although Shen Qiu said that he didn't care, his heart was bleeding. Although Fanlou was making a fortune now, it couldn't be built like this!

"Who is the other party?" Shen Qiu asked in a deep voice, suppressing the pain.

Lan Xin shook her head and said, "My Lord, that man called himself Xie Liuliang, and he was traveling with an old man. He said he was from a remote county, and that he came to Tianhuang City just to travel around the world and gain more knowledge."

"A remote small town, traveling around the world, this is just a trick!" Shen Qiu curled his lips, totally unconvinced.

At this time, Lan Xin continued, "However, Lan Xin saw that Master Xie had an extraordinary bearing and seemed to be wearing a space ring. I guess he is not a child of an ordinary family."

After listening to Lan Xin's story, Shen Qiu couldn't help but frown. This Xie Liuliang was really a bit weird.

Do all the masters like to play the pig and eat the tiger game these days?

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to play Go, and five hundred taels of gold were just wasted. I feel so sad!

Just when he was feeling a little down...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Shen Qiu seemed to remember something. He slammed the table and stood up excitedly.

Lan Xin: ????

"How could I forget about this?" Shen Qiu paced back and forth in the room excitedly, his face full of excitement. Some time ago, he signed in and obtained the Go skills of "Heaven and Earth United" and "Demon Transformation".

I originally thought it was useless, but now it seems like a timely relief!
Thinking of this, Shen Qiu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

A strange laugh frightened Lan Xin so much that she frowned repeatedly. She thought her master had gone crazy because of the loss of five hundred taels of gold?

Just when she wanted to say a few words of comfort, Shen Qiu waved his hand and said with great pride: "Come on, take me to meet this Mr. Xie. I want to see who is so powerful that he can kill Miss Lan Xin without leaving a single piece of armor."

Hearing this, Lan Xin was stunned for a moment, then she realized that the master was going to step in person to win back face for her.

She immediately smiled happily and enthusiastically led Shen Qiu to the chess and painting room on the sixth floor.

In fact, Lan Xin was a little surprised that her master could actually play Go. Seeing how confident he was, it was obvious that he was quite good at Go.

Just like that, surrounded by a group of maids, Shen Qiu walked leisurely into the chess and painting studio.

He deliberately changed into a flashy purple brocade robe, hung a jade pendant with a dragon pattern around his waist, and waved a folding fan in his hand, looking like a real dandy boy.

"Oh my, my name is Shen Qiu, the owner of Fanlou. I heard that Master Xie is a great chess player, so I came to see him."

As Shen Qiu spoke, he walked to the chessboard. At this moment, Xie Liuliang had defeated another player.

"Oh, Mr. Shen, you are too polite. I only know a little bit. But Mr. Shen, you have built such a family business at such a young age. You are a real young talent."

Hearing this, Xie Liuliang stood up and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hahaha, Master Xie, you're too kind. I don't have any other hobbies except making friends, especially a gentleman like Master Xie who is a great chess player and has a very elegant demeanor."

Shen Qiu said, his eyes fell on the chessboard, "I wonder if Mr. Xie would be so kind as to let me learn from him?"

"This... of course, I couldn't ask for more." After thinking about it, Xie Liuliang quickly made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing this, Shen Qiu didn't hesitate and sat down directly opposite Xie Liuliang.

"Lan Xin, serve some good tea to Mr. Xie and this old gentleman."

Shen Qiu ordered, then turned to look at Xie Liuliang, "Master Xie, we don't need to play any prizes, how about betting... one thousand taels of gold?"

"hiss……"

There were sounds of people gasping for air all around, but only Li Xincheng maintained a faint smile.

"One thousand taels of gold?"

"Boss Shen is really rich and powerful!"

"Of course not. Who doesn't know that Boss Shen is rich?"

Xie Liuliang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, but he did not refuse. "Since Boss Shen is so generous, I will not refuse it."

"Okay, feel free!"

Shen Qiu laughed loudly, then picked up a black piece and placed it on the Tianyuan of the chessboard, "Thank you, Master, please!"

"Tianyuan?"

"Does Boss Shen know how to play chess?"

"Shh, shut up and take a look first."

The first move of the game was Tianyuan, which made Xie Liuliang frown slightly, but he did not say anything. Instead, he picked up a white piece from the chess box and gently placed it on the star position on the chessboard.
