"come over."
Ye Xun's voice was slightly low and he waved at Xiao Jinyun.
After the girl came to him obediently, he reached out and tapped her forehead lightly.
"It won't happen again."
The little mute covered his forehead with his hands in grievance and nodded slightly.
How could Ye Xun not know what Xiao Jinyun was thinking? He was simply afraid that he could not repay Long Lianxue's favor, so he wanted to use some connections to help him.
The idea is simple, the original intention is pure, and even the result is good.
Now Ye Xun doesn’t have to worry about Long Lianxue using favors to blackmail him, but he should worry about something else.
He sighed helplessly in his heart, asked Xiao Jinyun to make his bed, and then carefully moved Long Lianxue to the bed.
This Miss Long seems to be heavier than others, even though she doesn’t look fat.
"xun..."
The red-haired girl had a bad sleeping posture. She turned over in bed, used her legs and arms to hold the quilt that originally belonged to Ye Xun in her arms, and then rubbed it with her cheek, only then did she settle down.
If I wake up tomorrow morning and see myself like this, I will be so ashamed.
It’s better to explain it to her tomorrow morning. It’s not moral to disturb someone’s sweet dream, and Ye Xun doesn’t really want to know the content of her dream.
After doing all this, the familiar dangerous aura that had been hiding nearby for a long time finally enveloped the entire pharmacy.
Fortunately, Ye Xun had anticipated this and just walked out calmly and closed the door.
"Miss Lianxue is sleeping. I will send her back tomorrow morning."
He stood in the yard, looking at the gloomy old man with a white beard floating above his head.
When one reaches the fusion stage, one no longer needs to fly with a sword. The reason why most people still choose to fly with a sword is that it looks cool and it saves energy.
Du Xiuming had no intention of showing off. His beard was shaking with anger. His feeling at this moment was no less than seeing his own cabbage being taken away by someone else.
He had clearly given him a chessboard that could only be used by two people. As long as Ye Xun could be wholeheartedly devoted, he, as the master, could turn a blind eye. Wasn't the hint obvious enough?
What did this kid do in the end?
A board game that three people can play that has never been seen before?
"Come with me."
Fortunately, the boy's clothes were neatly arranged and it didn't look like anything had happened, otherwise Du Xiuming would have been extremely angry.
He originally wanted to take Ye Xun away by force and find a place to have a good chat, but a petite girl in a white dress suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the two of them with a slightly hostile look in her eyes.
Du Xiuming was a little surprised, he remembered this little mute.
When they first met, Ye Xun said that she was his assistant. Du Xiuming's biggest impression of her was that she kept her head down, was timid, and had little sense of presence.
However, he also remembered the green air currents swirling around the girl in the ruins. The terrifying power contained in it could move even a powerful warrior like him.
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. He would not easily underestimate anyone, not to mention that Xiao Jinyun indeed exudes an aura that is no less than his own.
"I won't hurt him."
Even though Du Xiuming made such a guarantee, Xiao Jinyun's eyes were still hostile. Although he was petite, his eyes were enough to make him break out in sweat, and even reminded him vaguely of the ancient ferocious beast "Taotie" that he encountered in the ruins.
She was clearly a petite disciple, but she was enough to make a powerful leader like him feel threatened.
"It's okay. I'll be back soon. You wait here for me."
The atmosphere was tense, but the dangerous atmosphere suddenly disappeared as Ye Xun spoke.
Du Xiuming's eyes were filled with some disbelief and shock as he looked at the girl who squinted her eyes because of Ye Xun's touch.
She is petite, gentle and cute. Where is the imposing manner that she had when facing me just now?
This Ye Xun, has an obedient little monster by his side.
Xiao Jinyun nodded and wrote something in the small notebook.
"I am waiting for you."
The little mute has always been very obedient and trusts Ye Xun's judgment.
After Ye Xun nodded in agreement, she turned back and showed Du Xiuming the remaining words on the book.
"Thank you for saving us last time."
"But don't let him get hurt."
The little mute is not an ungrateful person, but Ye Xun's importance is above all else.
He didn't have the dangerous aura he had just now, but he didn't make people doubt his weight.
Du Xiuming nodded solemnly.
That is the respect between the strong. Fusion is already the pinnacle of the world today. Countless cultivators have tried their best but have been unable to make a breakthrough.
Although the system cultivated by the girl in front of him was different from that of ordinary people, it was almost the same as his own.
"Take the chessboard, too."
Du Xiuming landed slowly, flicked his sleeves, and walked in front.
Ye Xun understood, picked up the chessboard and chess pieces and followed behind.
He knew that Du Xiuming would not hurt him easily, but it was still difficult to guess what the powerful man in the combined form wanted to do, so he could only act according to circumstances.
Having gone through so many dangers, it is impossible for Ye Xun to fall here.
In fact, although Du Xiuming was conflicted these days, he never stopped Ye Xun from contacting Long Lianxue.
Even if his granddaughter herself is not quite clear about her own feelings, can he, as a grandfather, not see it?
When Ye Xun held the little feet in his hands, her eyes were so tearful!
At that time, he was almost considering whether to accept Ye Xun as his last disciple and teach him all his formations and the techniques of refining beast pills to prevent his skills from going to waste.
However, in the past few days, several distinguished guests came from Taiqing Sect in Xuankong Continent, and they also brought some news that was not sure whether it was true or not.
It is said that Ye Xun has a bad reputation over there.
Bullying his senior sister, abusing his junior sister, and even not letting his uncle go...
Grandpa is worried, so before passing on the real stuff, he will definitely test it again.
Chapter 77: Chess is like life, more than just winning or losing
Although the secular world is still dominated by men, among monks, the strong have always been respected.
As long as one is a powerful cultivator, he will always have many companions around him, so it is not uncommon for one man to have multiple women or one woman to have multiple men in this world.
As for Du Xiuming, he was indeed a rare outlier. Not only was his wife a mortal, but even after her death, this powerful combined warrior never remarried.
There is only one reason, this true strong man attaches more importance to "emotion" than other monks who are indifferent to emotions and are wholeheartedly pursuing the great way.
What if his only granddaughter is sleeping soundly in Ye Xun’s room right now?
The relationship between Ye Xun and Long Lianxue has not been confirmed yet. Judging from Ye Xun's attitude, he just treats her as a friend at most.
But Du Xiuming knew that his silly and carefree granddaughter had obviously already made Ye Xun a part of her mind and had no defense against this man at all.
How could Du Xiuming not be worried? Grandpa wanted to beat up the brat in front of him and bury him somewhere so that Long Lianxue would never see him again and avoid her heart being teased by the so-called wanderer.
Or, press his head to go to the wedding with his granddaughter.
Of course, it would be impossible to take action now. After all, Ye Xun took a lot of care of his granddaughter in the ruins, so he could only use other methods.
He walked quietly to the chessboard, turned around and gestured to Ye Xun to invite him to sit down.
Ye Xun could indeed be considered a genius, but Du Xiuming was no longer at the age to be called a genius.
He is a strong man, standing at the top of this world, and genius is just the threshold to meet him.
Du Xiuming was thinking that if Ye Xun lost ten games, this genius would become discouraged.
After he clearly understands the gap between them, his requests will be more easily accepted.
"I've heard some rumors about you these days."
Du Xiuming spoke in a calm voice as he made his move.
"You don't have a good reputation over there."
If it were an ordinary person, being questioned like this by a cultivator in the fusion stage would most likely have been frightened out of his wits.
But Ye Xun just concentrated on the chessboard until he had no choice but to lose the first game.
He put down the chess piece with a wry smile.
"It's true."
He knew that this was Du Xiuming's psychological attack, and the way to deal with it was actually very simple.
Just tell the truth.
The powerful person in front of him was obviously trying to suppress his momentum, and would most likely make some requests that would be difficult to refuse.
Xiao Jinyun's heart knot is about to be untied, and he will eventually leave Liuying Sect in the future. In this way, he must leave some cards for himself to escape.
Ye Xun was not as nervous as Du Xiuming had expected, and the white-browed old man did not become impatient because of it.
In fact, he still has a way.
So, the two of them played several games in silence, and the results were just as Du Xiuming expected, Ye Xun did not win a single game.
This made Du Xiuming more determined in his thoughts. He stared into Ye Xun's eyes and spoke slowly.
"But what I heard from the distinguished young lady from Taiqing Sect was different from what was rumored."
It is very obvious who the distinguished young lady from Taiqing Sect is referring to.
Today, Li Changfeng brought his disciples to visit Liuying Sect suddenly, so he, as the supreme elder, had to go to meet them. Because of this, he accidentally stayed at Ye Xun's place for a day with Long Lianxue.
What disappointed Du Xiuming was that he did not see any panic in Ye Xun's eyes.
"There are thousands of faces in the eyes of thousands of people, and each sees something different."
Ye Xun said so calmly.
He knew that if he kept losing, he would inevitably be exposed due to Du Xiuming's continuous questioning.
But defeating him is extremely difficult, not to mention that Du Xiuming is a powerful combined warrior.
It wouldn't be worth it if I offended him.
The situation was clear, and Du Xiuming would win no matter how many games he played. However, it did not have the effect he expected. Ye Xun showed no sign of decline and remained calm.
Although he didn't care about winning or losing, he looked serious the whole time, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, obviously thinking about how to turn the tables.
Another two games passed, and Du Xiuming's moves became faster and faster. He didn't want to give Ye Xun any more time to think, and decided to crush his confidence in one go.
It's just that he made moves too quickly, and sometimes he naturally lacked consideration, which gave Ye Xun an opportunity.
"In fact, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to gossip about me."
Du Xiuming saw the opportunity and kept making moves, and Ye Xun just followed.
The intention is already very clear. As long as Ye Xun is willing to be Du Xiuming's granddaughter-in-law, he will naturally have a way to completely put an end to the rumors from the outside world.
But when Du Xiuming placed the last white piece on the board, Ye Xun suddenly laughed.
"Tie."
He placed the chess piece at a tricky angle. Du Xiuming was slightly stunned and looked down at the chessboard.
It is indeed a draw.
Although the chessboard was not full, with Du Xiuming's deductive ability, he could naturally foresee the outcome. The best case scenario was a draw.
This was the ninth game. Ye Xun had lost eight games and finally ended up in a draw.
Du Xiuming found it a little hard to believe. As a combined cultivator, his experience and chess skills were much stronger than Ye Xun's. In fact, playing chess with him was a bit like bullying the junior.
But he still made the peace.
Ye Xun slowly sorted out the chess pieces, lifted up his sleeves and made a gesture of invitation.
"No need."
