Chapter 47: The Chess-Playing Old Man in the Small City
Su Yu looked at the bouncing Han Ting with a look wanting to praise her, and Su Yu also smiled.
"That was so cool, you did very well, but don't forget to practice after you go back."
"The foundation is still very important. You have just started, and you are still very far away from the Female Sword Immortal you want to be, who can change the color of the world with a single sword."
Having received Su Yu's affirmation, she was still very happy.
"I know, I will work hard to Cultivate."
"Alright, since you've finished practicing, it's time for us to go back."
Su Yu brought Han Ting back to the Sect. At this time, Su Yu came to Han Shi's house and noticed that Ye Lin was also there, but Ye Lin actually brought someone back this time, and it was a female.
Su Yu saw that the female didn't look like a member of the Profound Heaven Sect either. The female had an exquisite appearance, truly a peerless beauty. What is this brat up to?
Su Yu brought Han Ting inside, and before Su Yu could speak, Han Ting asked impatiently:
"Uncle Ye, this older sister is so pretty, who is she, why did you bring her to our place?"
And with a gossipy expression: Could it be?
"What nonsense are you talking about, Little Girl? Didn't I hear your dad say you've been learning from Su Yu recently? How is your learning going?"
"When this Young Miss takes action, success is guaranteed. I have already learned Uncle Yu's unique skill, the Sword Drawing Technique. It is so cool, don't let this Young Miss's coolness shock you guys then."
If she knew that Su Yu knew many sword techniques, and even a Move that Sword Cultivators dreamed of like Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, she would probably nag Su Yu every day to teach her sword techniques.
Everyone also laughed out loud. Ye Lin no longer kept them in suspense, saying that this young lady was someone he had accidentally met in a Secret Realm.
Her name is Li Jiayi.
At this time, Li Jiayi also stepped forward to greet Su Yu and the others.
Su Yu also noticed that this Li Jiayi had the cultivation of the Late Stage Golden Core. It seemed this female was not simple either.
"She helped me a lot in the Secret Realm."
"Brother Ye Lin also helped me a lot, we helped each other."
"The reason I brought her here is because we are going to another Secret Realm together. This Secret Realm is a bit tricky, so the two of us plan to go together. We came to the Profound Heaven Sect to rest and adjust before setting off."
Su Yu and the others chatted for a bit more, and then Ye Lin left with Li Jiayi.
Han Shi watched Ye Lin leave, and immediately cast his gaze towards Su Yu. The two of them exchanged a smile.
They were also clear that Ye Lin basically never brought people back to the Sect, and usually acted alone when going to Secret Realms. This showed that Li Jiayi was also a rather important person in Ye Lin's eyes, even though they didn't know what exactly happened between the two.
But as long as Ye Lin didn't say, they wouldn't ask.
"Brother Su, has Han Ting caused you any trouble during this time? I still understand her temperament."
"What's with that, Dad, do you distrust me so much? I have been working hard in training, okay?"
"Step aside. Don't your mom and I know what kind of personality you have?"
"Tian Tian hasn't caused me any trouble. She has been training very seriously."
"Exactly, exactly. See that, Dad? I have been training seriously and haven't caused Uncle Yu any trouble."
"Alright, don't be smug. Even if you've learned it, you still need to study properly."
"I know."
Afterwards, Su Yu also returned home. Alright, it had been a while since he played chess.
Let's find a chess parlor to play chess and relax.
Su Yu then disappeared from the Profound Heaven Sect. Su Yu came to a chess parlor, hoping that this place would have capable people.
That's right, Su Yu had already been to many chess parlors, but with his current understanding of chess intent, few people could last a few Moves under his hands, so he wanted to find someone who could accompany him to play chess for a while longer.
Walking into this chess parlor, Su Yu was quickly attracted by a place surrounded by people.
Su Yu came to the chess game. There were two people playing against each other, and one of the old men was stroking his beard and playing chess leisurely.
Su Yu saw that this old man was not simple, actually having the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage. He didn't expect to run into a Nascent Soul Stage existence in a small chess parlor.
Placed in a large Sect, this old man would also be a top combat force existence. He didn't expect that he, just like Su Yu, would run to a chess parlor to play chess.
Su Yu watched their continuous game and found that the old man's chess skill was extraordinary. It looked like this trip wasn't in vain; he finally had an opponent he could play a good game of chess with.
Soon, the person playing against the old man was quickly defeated. At this time, the crowd also said:
"This old man is too powerful. Not a single person is his match; even the chess king of our place was easily defeated by him."
At this time, a child appeared beside the old man and said: "That goes without saying, my Master is an existence invincible throughout the world."
The people nearby also lacked the strength to refute. This old man truly convinced them wholeheartedly.
"This old man has played chess for many years and has always wanted to find an opponent to play chess with. What a pity, what a pity, I haven't found one after searching for so long."
At this time, Su Yu's hands were itching.
"Your Excellency, let me challenge you."
The crowd saw that someone still dared to step forward to challenge, and it was also a fresh face.
"Look quickly, someone is going to challenge this old man again. Isn't that asking for trouble? Looking at him, he doesn't seem to know how to play chess well."
The old man looked at Su Yu. At the ninth stage of Foundation Establishment, he still had some strength.
"Please."
At this time, Su Yu sat across from him.
"Let's begin."
"Little friend, you go first."
Su Yu did not stand on ceremony and immediately picked up a chess piece. The moment Su Yu picked up the chess piece, the old man could feel an invisible pressure emanating from Su Yu. This was not simple; it seemed a real opponent had arrived.
The old man laughed heartily in his heart, finally found one.
Soon, as the two played against each other, there was not a single sound around, and even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
Everyone was deeply attracted by this chess game, and both of them were dueling using basic chess skills.
As Su Yu's last piece fell, the old man was ultimately one Move short.
The surrounding people suddenly burst into intense applause.
"Impressive, this chess game deserves to be passed down through the ages. Did any of you write it down?"
"Rest assured, I've already written it down. I'm going to carefully observe and study it."
At this time, the old man also knew Su Yu was not simple, and transmitted his voice: "Fellow Daoist, let's have a real game."
"I lost this game, and I want to play another one. It must be inconvenient for the two of us to display our full abilities here, right?"
"Alright, let's find a place to play a proper game."
In an instant, the old man and his disciple disappeared from the chess parlor, and Su Yu followed after seeing this.
The three of them came to a forest where there was no one around.
Su Yu looked at the place before him and praised:
"What a truly great place."
"This old man has searched for many years and finally found a true chess Dao expert like Fellow Daoist."
"I can finally play a satisfying game of chess."
At this time, the old man took out a chessboard. Su Yu looked at it and saw it was an Earth Rank Low Grade chessboard.
"Come on."
"Let's use my chessboard instead, it will allow for a better game."
"Oh? Could it be that Fellow Daoist has an even better chessboard?"
Su Yu smiled and didn't speak. He pulled out his long-unused Starry Sky Chessboard. As soon as this chessboard appeared, the old man was instantly shocked into speechlessness.
"Alright, let's begin."
At this time, the old man took the initiative to make a Move. An infinite chess intent erupted, and instantly, streams of chess manuals appeared behind the old man, every single one of which seemed like an ancient famous game.
Su Yu saw this and was not to be outdone. A piece fell, and instantly an anomaly manifested, as if the entire heaven and earth had turned into a chessboard.
