The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 264 A Year of Diligent Training, Three Years of Bloody Battle [Thirteen]

Within the territory of the Flying Snow Sect lies a magnificent city built against a snow-capped mountain—Flying Snow City. Within the city are two major powers: the Flying Snow Sect itself, and the Flying Snow Guild, a branch of the titled guilds.

At this moment, it was midday, and the snow-covered city of Feixue was bustling with activity, as if it had not been affected by the evil spirit army that had invaded months ago.

"The back hall of the Flying Snow Guild is a restricted area. Anyone whose strength has not reached the legendary level or who has not obtained a quasi-title is strictly prohibited from entering!"

The Feixue Guild's affairs hall was bustling with people and noisy. Some were forming teams and waiting for the guild to issue missions, some were selling information and trading items, and some were trying to sneak into the guild's back hall with ulterior motives while their faces were covered. But as a powerful and imposing shout swept out from the entrance of the back hall, the whole scene fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, a handsome middle-aged man stepped out from the back hall and walked straight to the two mysterious figures wearing cloaks. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to one of them and said, "You are wearing the Raging Wave Ring, so you must be Venerable Wind. I am Xue Rong, one of the Four Phases of Flying Snow. My master has already given instructions that you two should come with me directly!"

"Hmm." The leader nodded calmly, and Xue Rong then led the two into the back hall.

It wasn't until the three disappeared for quite a while that the scene returned to its previous liveliness.

"Snowflake! He's actually Snowflake? The Snowflake who supposedly broke through the all-out attack of thousands of evil spirit masters with just a single fan?"

"That's right, it's him, Xue Rong, one of the Four Phases of Flying Snow! Speaking of which, just who is this Venerable Wind? That such a great figure as Xue Rong would condescend to greet him!"

In the administration hall, everyone was talking at once, enjoying the story that had just happened.

Those who still tried to sneak into the back hall were all driven away because Snowflake's appearance startled the Snowflake Guild's order maintainers.

Entering the back hall, one is greeted by a vibrant atmosphere, with pavilions and towers scattered throughout, and verdant stones and spiritual plants visible everywhere.

Xue Rong remained silent throughout, leading the two through five or six checkpoints, until they finally stopped outside a secluded courtyard that seemed out of place. She then cast several spells with her fingers.

"Venerable Wind, Master requests your presence!" A few breaths later, Xue Rong received the telepathic message and gently waved her sleeve in mid-air, removing a layer of invisible water ripples.

"Hehe, how have you been, Brother Tianjue? It's been several years since we last met!" "Haha, congratulations, Brother Xiaoyao... you've finally taken that step!"

Upon entering the courtyard, one is greeted by a simple stone table with a chessboard on it. The first person to speak is an elderly man with a refined and otherworldly air, named Xiaoyao Sanren.

"It's just a coincidence! Tianjue, you've come at the perfect time. Quickly finish this game of chess with me..." Xiaoyaozi gestured for him to sit on the stone bench, but the Jade Purity Sect Master hesitated to speak.

He immediately feigned anger and said, "Hmph, no matter how important the matter is, it has to wait until this game of chess is over! You know my rules!"

"Hey, Brother Xiaoyao, your stubbornness hasn't changed a bit since back then!" Feng Tianjue shook his head helplessly, then glanced at him and gave him a meaningful look: "Feng Ling, this is my old friend—Xiaoyaozi, the branch president of the Title Guild..."

"This Xiaoyaozi is aloof by nature and has few close friends, but whoever can beat him at chess will gain his approval and a great opportunity. Fengling, you must seize this chance!"

The Jade Purity Sect Master openly introduced him, but secretly conveyed Xiaoyaozi's temperament through telepathy.

The young man immediately understood, and stepped forward with neither arrogance nor servility, calmly taking his seat: "Junior Feng Ling greets Senior Xiaoyaozi. It is an honor to have the opportunity to compete with you today. Please!"

"Life is like a game of chess, and so are the affairs of the world. You little rascal, you're quite something. If you win later, I'll bestow upon you a great fortune and grant you a request. If you lose, you'll stay and become my disciple! Come, I'll let you go first, so that some people won't accuse me of bullying the weak!"

As they were talking, Xiaoyaozi glanced at the Jade Purity Sect Master and chuckled to himself: This kid brought by Tianjue has good aptitude and his cultivation is not bad either, but when it comes to chess skills, he is probably far from being good enough for me. Let's see how I recruit him into my sect!

Feng Tianjue could guess Xiaoyaozi's little scheme, but he didn't expose it. He only noticed that the young man holding the black chess piece in front of him had an unusually calm face.

Life isn't about persevering because of hope; it's about seeing hope because you persevere.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
