Chapter 49: Chapter 020 Liu Jin’s delay
"Well!" Yi Feng smiled slightly.
Liu Jin nodded. The descendant of Yi Feng who had led the way also stood respectfully behind Yi Feng.
"I heard from my grandson that all of you are seniors from Julu Academy?" Yi Feng looked at Meng Rongrong and the six of them.
"Yes. This is the eldest lady of our Julu Academy! The daughter of the dean!" Changqing immediately introduced.
"Oh? Yi Feng has been remiss!" Yi Feng immediately became solemn and said.
"It doesn't matter! I just happened to be here. Looking at that game of chess by Grand Tutor today, I have many thoughts!" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
"Hahaha. That game of chess is indeed the most wonderful one I have played in my life. Unfortunately, I still lost in the end!" Yi Feng shook his head and smiled.
"Losing is also understandable!" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
"Oh?" Yi Feng said with a smile.
"At the beginning of this game of chess, you started ten games at the same time and fought against ten people alone. You couldn't concentrate on the tenth game, which caused a loss in your layout at the beginning. This is the first point!"
"Yan Chuan has read your chess manuals, but you know nothing about Yan Chuan. At the beginning of making moves, you were not as cautious as Yan Chuan. This is the second point!"
"Facing away from the chessboard and using blind chess to resist the enemy, hiding your chess strength. This is the third point!"
"You are old. You can't fight for a long time. Intermittently, you can't exert your full strength. This is the fourth point!"
"With these four losses, you can still play this game of chess so wonderfully. Even if you lose, it is understandable!" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
"Yes. Grand Tutor, we all think that your chess strength must be higher than Yan Chuan's!" Changqing also called out in a timely manner.
Everyone from Julu Academy echoed Meng Rongrong one after another.
"Yes, grandpa. Your chess skill is unrivaled throughout history. Due to these factors, you made a mistake. If you play again, you will definitely win against King Pingyi!" The middle-aged man stood by Yi Feng's side and naturally echoed.
Yi Feng waved his hand to stop his grandson from speaking.
On the other side, the Brocade Guard standing behind Liu Jin was furious in his eyes and glared at everyone on the opposite side.
"Winning is winning. Losing is losing. On the battlefield, how can there be so many excuses?" Liu Jin interjected in a timely manner.
"Hmm?" Changqing frowned.
"You..." Yi Feng's grandson glared at Yanjing.
But Yi Feng waved his hand to stop his grandson's impulse.
"Oh? I'd like to hear more!" Yi Feng said with a smile.
"The prince told me that once the chessboard is spread out, it is a battlefield. Horizontally it is the sky, vertically it is the earth. At the beginning of making moves, it is like the opening of heaven and earth. At the beginning of heaven and earth, it is the general trend! Any regrets or reasons cannot change history! Winning is winning! Losing is losing! Just like two people fighting. Can one be resurrected just because one person was killed without having breakfast? Isn't that ridiculous?" Liu Jin shook his head.
"Hmm?" Meng Rongrong frowned.
Meng Rongrong saw that Liu Jin seemed to be really singing the opposite tune to herself.
Yi Feng's grandson also glared. Regretting that he shouldn't have brought him in.
"Hahaha. Well said!" Yi Feng said with a smile.
Yi Feng didn't blame Liu Jin. Instead, he was even more interested in Yan Chuan.
Liu Jin stood up and slightly bowed and said, "Liu Jin doesn't mean any disrespect to Grand Tutor. On the contrary, because the prince respects Grand Tutor, Liu Jin also respects you even more. Liu Jin just wants to tell a fact. Grand Tutor didn't play chess with all your strength. The prince these days also didn't play chess with all his strength!"
"Oh?" Yi Feng asked curiously.
"The prince said that Grand Tutor is extremely shrewd. Without me saying it, you can probably analyze it from the information reported by your servants!" Liu Jin said with a smile.
As he spoke, Liu Jin sat down.
Yi Feng looked at Liu Jin and nodded. "Yes. Although I don't know what King Pingyi has been busy with these days, from the information, he has been running around everywhere. Presumably, he was handling a more important matter at that time. In such a situation, being able to win against me, Yi Feng admires!"
"Thank you for Grand Tutor's praise!" Liu Jin said courteously.
On the other side, Meng Rongrong frowned. Obviously, after Changqing lost power in the State of Yan, he could no longer know everything that happened in the State of Yan every day.
However, Meng Rongrong didn't care about these. After all, the conditions Meng Rongrong was about to offer next were irresistible to anyone.
"Yan Chuan's chess strength is indeed powerful. Grand Tutor's chess strength is also extraordinary. Grand Tutor is ninety-two years old this year, right?" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
"Yes. The end is near. So I indulge in landscapes every day and play chess for entertainment to spend my last days in peace!" Yi Feng nodded.
"The end is near? Hehe. I don't know if Grand Tutor has any unfulfilled wishes? See if I can help you!" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
Behind her, Yi Feng's grandson's eyes lit up.
At this moment, anyone could hear Meng Rongrong's kindness.
This is throwing an olive branch to Yi Feng. As long as Yi Feng speaks, Meng Rongrong might be able to lead Yi Feng into the world of cultivation.
"Grandpa!" Yi Feng's grandson said urgently in a low voice.
Anyone could see his excitement. His eyes seemed to be urging Yi Feng to 'answer quickly'.
But after decades of wind and rain, how much worldly affairs has Yi Feng experienced? Naturally, he wouldn't show his emotions as easily as his grandson.
"What unfulfilled wish? What kind of unfulfilled wish can you help me with, senior?" Yi Feng said with a smile.
Yi Feng didn't ask for the chance of longevity. In everything, there are skills. At any time, one cannot be in a passive position.
"Do you know the situation of my Julu Academy?" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
"The previous King Pingyi once told me something about the world of cultivators. He specifically mentioned Julu Academy. It is a place with prosperous literary style and countless great scholars. It is a place of wisdom in the world! One word and one action can affect countless sects in the world!" Yi Feng nodded.
Changqing and others all showed comfortable smiles.
"I don't know if Grand Tutor is willing to enter my Julu Academy? Accompanying the great scholars in the world and playing chess with countless wise people?" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
"Uh? Grandpa!" The middle-aged man said excitedly.
Even if Yi Feng was always calm, at this moment, there were flashes of excitement in his eyes. Meng Rongrong had made her offer clear. Inviting you into the immortal sect! This has been Yi Feng's wish for decades.
Taking a deep breath, he stabilized his desires.
"Don't you know my natural aptitude, senior?" Yi Feng said with a bitter smile.
"I naturally know. Poor natural aptitude? So what? In the world of cultivation, there are naturally great resources. The only bad thing about you is that you are too old. Many of your bodily functions are difficult to recover. You just can't survive the first heavenly thunder tribulation. However, you are already at the tenth level of the Strength Realm. I have a 'Chongjing Pill' here that can help you directly enter the Essence Realm. Once you enter the Essence Realm, I will personally lead you into Julu Academy. In Julu Academy, your wisdom will surely be able to be exerted!" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
"Chongjing Pill?" For the first time, Yi Feng was moved.
On one side, Changqing said with a smile, "Yes. It is indeed the Chongjing Pill. In the world of cultivation, there are countless pills. However, there are only a few pills that can resist heavenly thunder. They are extremely precious. Many times, you can't buy them even if you have spirit stones. This pill of the eldest lady was also obtained by chance from Dazhao Holy Land. As long as you swallow it, you will enter the Essence Realm. Your lifespan will soon double. Moreover, with the eldest lady personally leading you into Julu Academy, in Julu Academy, you will surely be highly regarded. Perhaps you can gain the favor of some great scholars! This is an opportunity that mustn't be missed!"
"Grandpa!" The middle-aged man on one side said with a somewhat rapid breathing.
This is really a reward after suffering. Grandpa's lifelong wish is finally about to be fulfilled.
Yi Feng looked at Meng Rongrong. Although excited, he analyzed the authenticity of Meng Rongrong's words.
"This is the Chongjing Pill. You should have heard of its introduction!" Meng Rongrong confidently took out a pill bottle and handed it out.
The middle-aged man immediately carefully took it and handed it to Yi Feng.
Yi Feng looked into the bottle and his eyes lit up. "Yes. Yes. Yan Chuan introduced it before. It's this one!"
Even the steady Yi Feng couldn't stay calm at this moment.
On one side, Liu Jin's expression froze. He immediately remembered.
It seemed that at the beginning, the saintess of Dazhao Holy Land, Mo Yuxi, had once asked Qinglong to give a pill to the prince. At that time, when they met for the first time, when the half-baked feng shui master Ding Wugu killed two silver-armored soldiers. The prince mentioned that the pill was precious.
It seemed to be called 'Chongjing Pill'. Chongjing Pill?
"Grand Tutor, how is it? Julu Academy is a holy land for wise people like you. Once you go there, you will surely be able to show your talents!" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior!" Yi Feng said movedly.
"As long as Grand Tutor agrees, this Chongjing Pill will be yours!" Meng Rongrong said with a smile.
"I..." Yi Feng was about to speak.
"Wait!" Liu Jin suddenly shouted.
"Liu Jin, what are you doing?" Yi Feng's grandson immediately shouted.
Yi Feng waved his hand to stop his grandson from interrupting.
"Why? Eunuch Liu, is there something else?" Yi Feng asked in confusion.
Liu Jin took a deep breath, stood up, and slightly bowed and said, "I know it's wrong to interrupt Grand Tutor. But please listen to me!"
"Oh?" Yi Feng looked at Liu Jin curiously.
Meng Rongrong also frowned and looked over.
"The last move was made by the prince who asked me to come and place it in person. At the same time, he also asked me to tell Grand Tutor that the prince will come soon and play another game with Grand Tutor solemnly!" Liu Jin said solemnly.
"Really? Yi is looking forward to it!" Yi Feng said with a smile.
"The prince said that he is also looking forward to playing chess with Grand Tutor. At the same time, there is something more important to discuss with Grand Tutor in detail!" Liu Jin said solemnly.
"More important thing?" Yi Feng asked in confusion.
"The prince said that Grand Tutor is old but profound, old but wise, and can see through many things. I hope that Grand Tutor can wait for the prince to come before agreeing to Senior Meng's invitation!" Liu Jin took a deep breath and said.
After much thought, Liu Jin didn't say that he also had a Chongjing Pill. His face was full of bitterness. He didn't know how to persuade Yi Feng.
"Why?" Changqing immediately shouted on one side.
"Are you kidding?" Yi Feng's grandson also said angrily.
"Liu Jin? What do you mean?" Meng Rongrong frowned.
"Senior, please forgive me!" Liu Jin said faintly.
"Humph. Just because you say wait, we should wait?" Yi Feng's grandson scolded.
How could such a good opportunity be missed.
Yi Feng stared at Liu Jin. He could see the urgency on Liu Jin's face. His eyes flickered slightly as if quickly analyzing everything.
"Senior!" Yi Feng suddenly looked at Meng Rongrong.
"Hmm?" Meng Rongrong asked in confusion.
"Yi Feng is old. Originally, in my later years, I had no extravagant hopes. I just passed my days by playing chess. Thank you for your kindness! I want to enter the world of cultivation. Very much! And the preferential treatment you gave me also makes me extremely grateful." Yi Feng said solemnly.
Liu Jin opened his mouth and was extremely anxious.
Changqing and others showed a hint of smile. As if victory was in their hands.
"However, I, Yi Feng, also have my own thoughts. King Pingyi's chess skills are the only ones I have seen in my life. For the purity of this last game of chess, I want to wait until after the game to reply to you. Is that okay?" Yi Feng said sincerely.
"Uh?" Yi Feng's grandson opened his mouth in surprise.
"What?" Changqing and others didn't believe it.
Meng Rongrong also frowned and showed surprise in her eyes.
However, after showing surprise, Meng Rongrong had more admiration. Such desires and benefits didn't cloud this person's mind. It shows that this person is even more outstanding than she imagined.
"Good. Julu Academy will always be open to you!" Meng Rongrong said confidently and satisfactorily.
"Thank you!" Yi Feng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Grand Tutor!" At this moment, Liu Jin's face was also full of surprise.
After all, Meng Rongrong's conditions were so tempting that even Liu Jin was moved. But Yi Feng actually postponed it for a game of chess? Great. Great. Prince, come back quickly!
