The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"If I lose, I can give you ten or a hundred taels of silver."

"But what if I win?"

Shi Gu spread his hands and said with a smile.

"If you win, you don't have to pay the ten taels of silver. Isn't that fair?"

This is a shameless statement. Only a fool would accept such a condition. Shi Gu said this because he didn't want the game to continue and wanted to stop here.

Shen Yue's body felt heavy and he felt his shoulders were a little sore. More importantly, this silly girl Shen Yue pressed her body too close to him.

Shi Gu could clearly feel a softness on his back, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and inexplicably nervous, so he wanted to ruin the game.

"Shameless!"

Everyone shouted and cursed loudly, full of contempt and disdain. However, amidst the shouting and cursing, the Confucian scholar took out a silver ingot, placed it on the chessboard, and spoke in a deep voice.

"let's start."

Shi Gu was startled when he saw this, and wanted to slap the idiot opposite him. How could he do such a trick? In the contempt of everyone for Shi Gu just now, the Confucian scholar could leave the stage. People would only remember Shi Gu's shamelessness and forget the game he lost.

The steps were clearly prepared, but this Confucian scholar didn't want them.

Veins bulged on Shi Gu's forehead, and he wanted to pick up the silver ingot and smash it on the face of the idiot opposite him, but as soon as he moved, Shen Yue's body pressed closer to him, which made his body stiff and he was in a dilemma.

When Shi Gu froze, the Confucian scholar anxiously picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. Shen Yue still grabbed Shi Gu's arm and grabbed the piece and placed it down.

The soft jade-like, warm fragrance reached Shi Gu's nose, making him feel upset. He had no intention of looking at the chessboard anymore and could only try to think of something else.

Compared to Shi Gu who was a little distracted, Shen Yue was focused and stared at the chess pieces on the board, picking up and placing them, and seemed to really enjoy playing chess.

Among the crowd of onlookers, those who knew about chess looked at the chessboard with a hint of surprise in their eyes, while the Confucian scholar who was playing the game was sweating profusely and looked horrified.

It’s not that Shen Yue’s chess skills are so good, but at the beginning of this game, Shen Yue changed her style of play. Unlike herself in the previous game, she was a bit like the layout of the Confucian scholar in the previous game.

But compared to the Confucian scholar in the previous game, Shen Yue's chess moves were more perfect and more aggressive. He was no longer awkward and clumsy as before. Instead, he carried forward the Confucian scholar's previous ideas and pushed them to the peak.

The scholar was sweating profusely. The game was halfway through, but his face was terribly pale. He stared at the black and white words on the board, at the aggressive chess situation, and could not make a move for a long time.

The scholar felt extremely frustrated when his chess skills were learned by others and became more perfect in the blink of an eye, but his resentment gradually faded away.

When the game reached the middle stage, the person nearby who could understand Go changed his expression slightly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Yue also gradually changed.

At this point, it was still too early to decide the winner, but the Confucian scholar sighed and bowed respectfully to Shen Yue.

"No need to continue, I am just not as skilled as you."

After saying this, the scholar did not argue, but stood up, turned around and left, without even taking the chessboard with him.

Seeing that the chess game was over, Shigu breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his head. Now he could let Shen Yue get off his back.

However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, another young man came over, sat in front of the chessboard, put out a piece of silver, and asked softly.

"I wonder if this girl would play a game of chess with me?"

Shi Gu hurriedly reached out to cover Shen Yue's mouth, shook his head repeatedly and said.

"No more, no more."

The young man lowered his brows slightly, took out another ingot of silver and placed it on the chessboard.

"Is it impossible to get off like this?"

Shi Gu shook his head repeatedly and spoke seriously.

"No."

After saying that, Shi Gu stood up, grabbed Shen Yue's ear with his backhand, and was about to leave. Seeing this, the crowd around him started to talk again.

"This man must have recognized Master Li and knew he couldn't win, so he refused to take on this game of chess."

"This person is ultimately a bully who only fears the strong and is timid. He is doomed to fail in his quest for greatness."

"That girl is quite talented. If she had met a good teacher, she would have made great achievements in chess. Unfortunately, the teacher next to her does not look like a good person."

Shi Gu listened to those contemptuous voices but didn't care at all. Many enemies were looking for him now, and he didn't want to cause any trouble. He had encountered such things many times and no longer cared about them.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, the young man called out to Shi Gu. He slowly stood up and looked at Shi Gu with disdain in his narrow eyes.

"This girl is incredibly talented in chess. If she follows you, she will definitely bury her talent."

Shi Gu sighed when he heard this and felt a splitting headache. He turned his head slightly, looked at the young Master Li, and asked.

"So, what do you mean?"

Master Li put his hands behind his back, expressionless, and spoke slowly.

"I am a disciple of Nanyang chess master Wu Ming. If this girl becomes my master's disciple, she will definitely become a chess master in the future."

"If you care about her, let her stay and let me take her back to see my master."

Shi Gu blinked his eyes and said nothing, but just sighed deeply again. However, Mr. Li misunderstood him, took out a gold ingot, threw it on the ground, and said coldly.

"If you love money, I'll give you this ingot of gold, but you have to let this girl stay."

"I am an inner disciple of the Yulin League. The famous Shen Zhui is my senior brother. If you want fame, I can help you."

"So, do you want wealth or fame?"

Young Master Li looked arrogant, especially after he revealed the identity of the Yulin Alliance. He raised his head slightly, looking as if he was looking down on everyone.

Shi Gu thought about it, and then spoke to Mr. Li in a serious manner.

“I love money and fame.”

"But more lascivious."

After saying that, Shi Gu ignored Mr. Li, grabbed Shen Yue's ear, and walked all the way back to the black-sailed boat. Seeing this, Mr. Li seemed a little surprised, but more angry.

"stop!"

Master Li shouted loudly again, but this time, Shi Gu ignored him, which made Master Li even more angry. He moved his feet and quickly rushed towards Shi Gu, hitting him with a palm.

When the palm moved, the wind rose, like a spring breeze, blowing to the shore. Shi Gu slowly turned around and looked at the palm print on his chest without causing a ripple.

The spring breeze leaves no trace, just like falling on a towering mountain and dispersing in all directions.

Shi Gu looked quietly at Master Li, who had a surprised expression on his face. Then he raised his hand as if he was stroking a young child, but in Master Li's eyes it was as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

It covers the sky and the sun, and there is no escape.

Young Master Li's legs became weak, his breathing became rapid, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Shi Gu gently stroked his head like an elder and said with a smile.

"This palm technique is from Happy Valley. You are not from Yulin League."

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the crowd. Most of those people were willing to flatter Master Li because of his identity as an inner disciple of the Yulin League. But now it seems that this identity is fake.

Master Li's face was pale and bloodless. He moved his lips and wanted to refute, but when he looked at Shi Gu, he felt like an ant, his legs trembling, and he couldn't utter a word.

He was indeed not a disciple of Yulin League, and the senior brother Shen Zhui he mentioned was actually someone he had only met once. He was a disciple of Happy Valley.

"Happy Valley... is on good terms with the Yulin League... If anything happens to me... the Yulin League will not let you go."

Master Li was scared of death, but he still made harsh remarks, hoping that the man in front of him would be cautious.

Shi Gu didn't say anything, but just stroked his head gently.

Immortals caress my head, knotting my hair and receiving immortality.

But unfortunately, Shi Gu was not an immortal. His big hand stroked Mr. Li's head, and all his black hair fell off, turning it into a bald head.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a flying sword shot out from a hole in a large ship in the distance and turned into a stream of light.

Shi Gu's expression changed slightly. He pushed the bald Mr. Li away with one palm and turned ten steps to the side.

Boom!

The flying sword fell to the ground, creating a big hole in the ground. When the dust settled, a green sword was inserted into the hole, with a murderous intent.

The sword just now was aimed at Shi Gu's head, and it was full of murderous intent, with the intention of taking his life.

Shi Gu frowned slightly and looked towards the big ship, only to see a white-haired old man standing on the hull with an extremely gloomy face.

The white-haired old man was wearing a grey shirt and stood at the bow like a black dot. Among the people present, only Shi Gu and the other two could see his face clearly.

The old man put his hands behind his back, looking at Shi Gu in the distance, and snorted coldly, the sound was like thunder, and it echoed from afar to the shore.

"Who are you, you dare to commit a crime in broad daylight? Do you think there is no one in my Yulin League?"

Shi Gu said nothing. The sword just now was indeed from the Yulin League. This was not surprising. After all, Kuaihuo Valley was the lackey of the Yulin League, and it was common for the two factions to appear at the same time.

However, the old man did not mention that it was Master Li who attacked first. If it was an ordinary person, that palm strike would have resulted in serious injuries at best, or even death at worst.

But in the mouth of the old man, it became Shi Gu committing a crime in broad daylight, not to mention the sword that was full of murderous intent just now.

After Shi Gu thought carefully for a moment, he looked at the clouds in the sky and thought aimlessly.

At this time, the sunshine is the most comfortable. If you have a good sleep on the boat, it should be very comfortable. Having a bowl of fish soup is a rare enjoyment.

Thinking of this, Shi Gu looked at the gray-clothed old man on the big ship and felt that it was a bit troublesome, so he bowed and made an apology, and bowed to the gray-clothed old man from a distance, thinking in his heart.

Forget it, Xiaojiu might still be nearby. I’ll let this old guy have his way this time today. If this old man doesn’t care about his dignity and dares to attack again, he’ll kick this old man’s balls to pieces.

Seeing this, everyone felt relieved and submissive, and were too scared to say anything. So, they looked at the ship with longing eyes, even though they could not see anything with their eyesight.

The old man was very pleased to see this, if possible, he would have taken out another sword and killed Shi Gu, but unfortunately he was not strong enough and the sword flew too far and was difficult to control, otherwise he would have let these people see what the power of the Yulin League was.

"Humph, a person who looks like a stray dog ​​dares to show himself. He really doesn't know what he is talking about."

The voice of the gray-clothed old man spread again, arousing the yearning of the people on the shore. So majestic, so arrogant, the Yulin League is worthy of being a major sect of cultivation, it is really fascinating.

The more these people were fascinated by the Yulin League, the more they despised Shi Gu. They thought that after seeing the masters of the Yulin League taking action, this man could only sneak away in disgrace, and he was indeed a low-level person.

They didn't even think about whether Master Li, whose hair was all gone by Shi Gu's slap, was even less worthy.

Shi Gu brought Shen Yue back to the boat, rolled his eyes, and then lay down on the hull to bask in the sun.

Shen Yue and Su Xue did not find it strange. Even though Shi Gu seemed to be submissive and cowardly in the eyes of outsiders, in their opinion, their master might have been eyeing the old man's ancestral grave.

Shi Gu narrowed his eyes, looked at the flowing clouds in the sky, sighed deeply, and said to Shen Yue and the others.

"Catch a fish. I'm hungry."

After saying that, Shi Gu closed his eyes and basked in the sun happily. The sun was warm and very comfortable.

Sure enough, basking in the sun is more comfortable than killing people.

Shi Gu thought about this, turned over and looked at the water in the distance.

Unfortunately, that annoying white dragon doesn’t seem to understand this, which is why he is so annoying.

……

On the big ship, several young men and women, dressed in white, were looking at the black-sailed boat where Shi Gu was in the distance with arrogant expressions.

A young man was lying on the side of the boat, holding a piece of wild grass in his mouth. He looked nonchalant, shaking his head repeatedly, and sighing with a mocking look in his eyes.

"What a pity! That kid surnamed Li still didn't bring those two young ladies on board. Junior Brother Shen must be very disappointed."

The young man smiled as he looked at the Junior Brother Shen he mentioned. Junior Brother Shen was a little fat and had a gloomy look on his face, looking extremely unhappy.

"Humph, Senior Brother Song, what do you mean by that? What does that idiot surnamed Li have to do with me?"

Hearing this, the young man grinned, turned around nonchalantly, looked at the tall ship and laughed.

"This young master of the Li family has an average level of cultivation, but he is also a smart man. Although he is a bit arrogant and domineering on weekdays, he has never directly killed others like he did today."

"He loves reputation so much that even if he had the intention, he would only dare to secretly capture the two women and bring them aboard. Today he is so anxious that he doesn't care about his reputation. It's obvious that someone is relying on his status to force him to do this."

Junior Brother Shen's face became darker and darker. He glanced at the young man coldly and said in a cold voice.

"Senior Brother Song, do you think I asked him to do this?"

The young man spat out the wild grass roots in his mouth, his smile widened, and he spoke slowly.

"Junior Brother Shen, why are you so angry? I just think that there are more people who are tempted by Mr. Li, and I didn't say it was you."

"Your questioning like this is likely to lead to misunderstanding."

Hearing this, Junior Brother Shen's face turned even darker. He waved his sleeves and left angrily, leaving behind only a scolding.

"Ridiculous!"

The young man looked at the fat figure's back and rolled his eyes with disgust in his eyes. He turned around and continued to lie on the side of the boat. At this time, a figure slowly came over, stopped behind him and whispered.
