I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Yan Liang felt that he should not have come.

But now that he was here, it would be too conspicuous if he just turned around and left.

I can only blend in silently.

After saying hello, Song Ming did not dare to delay and quickly led everyone into the yard.

In the pavilion in the courtyard, two old men were playing chess.

The atmosphere of the game seemed to freeze time.

The two men were fighting fiercely.

The blind dean, holding the black pieces, urged: "Hurry up, don't delay."

Sitting opposite him, Vice President Yang, with white hair and beard and a vigorous look, was twisting a white piece with a slightly frown on his face. It was obvious that the game had reached a critical point.

I hesitated, not knowing whether I should get off.

Instructor Duan walked over with a group of people and nodded, "Dean, Vice Dean."

"Is it Duan Min? Thank you for your hard work on this trip." The dean's lifeless eyes accurately captured the direction of Teacher Duan.

Those eyes clearly had no luster, yet they seemed to be able to see people.

"Come and help Lao Yang. I don't think he can place this chess piece."

Upon hearing this, Vice President Yang was immediately dissatisfied, and his hand that was twisting the chess piece stopped, "I was just thinking!"

After saying that, he glanced at Teacher Duan and his voice became louder unconsciously, "He only knows how to use a sword, how can he play chess?"

Teacher Duan smiled and replied, "I really don't know how to do this."

The dean raised his head slightly, and his unfocused eyes moved slightly, as if his gaze bypassed Teacher Duan and swept over Ning Ruan and the others one by one.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then the dean's voice was heard again, "What about you? Is there anyone who knows how to play chess? Come and help Old Yang make this move."

Song Ming stared at Ning Ruan and the others with envy. He knew how to play chess, but his level was no match for the dean.

They are all young people, and I think even if these people can do it, their level is about the same as his.

I actually got the chance to go up and play chess with the dean!

envy!

However, the few people who were stared at by Song Ming with envy did not move at all.

Vice President Yang was still holding the chess piece, reluctant to put it down.

He glanced at them and asked, "Do you not know how to play, or do you feel that I have lost this game and there is no possibility of recovery, so you don't want to play?"

The dean chuckled and moved his hand, and an ordinary-looking gray robe appeared on the stone table.

"This is a defensive vestment. I have spent hundreds of years refining it myself. It can block 50% of my attacks."

"I can block this level of attack at least three times."

"If any of you are interested in coming up and taking this guy down, and can help Old Yang break the impasse, this robe will be yours."

"We only need to break this step. Even if we lose, we can still take the robe."

The dean just finished speaking.

Song Ming opened his eyes wide in shock. If he had not seen the chessboard and was sure that he could not make this move either, he would have begged to give it a try even at the risk of his reputation.

But even if I can't get it.

He couldn't help but look at Ning Ruan and the others with envy and jealousy.

It’s great to be on the list of geniuses.

He, who always followed the dean, had no chance to get the vestments.

But these guys do.

He stared at Ning Ruan.

In his opinion, this was undoubtedly the one who loved to show off the most.

But he was obviously staring in vain.

Ning Ruan did not stand up.

The one who stood up was someone he had never expected.

Like Ning Ruan, he was wearing a blue shirt, but in all aspects, especially in terms of temperament, he was really ordinary.

It's like you can't even find it if you throw it into a crowd of people.

Quite unremarkable.

He didn't even pay much attention to this one.

But he was the one who stood up.

Zimmer walked out from among the few people.

And then to the pavilion.

The dean and vice-dean probably didn't expect that he would be the one to stand up.

The former had a smile on his lips, and nothing could be seen from his expression.

The latter did not hide his feelings at all, and said "Huh" lightly on the spot, and asked curiously, "Do you know how to play chess?"

Qi Mo nodded, "Generally understood."

Vice Dean Yang casually threw the chess piece into his hand, "Although I have a general understanding of it, since you have come forward, please help me play it well. If you can really break this siege, I can give you some rewards."

"Even if we can't win, we can still give."

Song Ming stood on the other side of the stone table, facing Qi Mo.

He could clearly see the calm expression on the other person's face. What a pretense!

But what if I feel even more envious?

Qi Mo's eyes never fell on Song Ming.

He also couldn't sense the other party's deep jealousy.

At this moment, he was staring at the chessboard intently.

I already had a picture in my mind of myself putting on the vestments.

With this vestment, you’ll have an extra layer of protection!

The fantasy in his mind did not interrupt his thinking at all, and the chess piece in his hand just fell down.

It fell very casually.

It seemed like it hadn't been considered at all.

"You kid, even though you can say you don't have to win, you can't really be so casual, right?"

Vice President Yang was so angry that his eyes widened and he yelled.

Then I heard the rare admiration from the dean who was playing chess.

"Old Yang, take a closer look. His moves are not random. This one is a brilliant one."

The word "very wonderful" was an exclamation of praise that even Vice Dean Yang, who had played chess with the Dean for a thousand years, had never heard before.

His gaze fell on the chessboard.

First he frowned.

Then his brows relaxed quickly and his eyes widened even more, "To survive in the face of death?"

He slammed the table, his words full of regret, "Why didn't I think of leaving like this?"

Ning Ruan was also looking at the chess game.

She can understand.

Because my third father is very good at calligraphy, painting and chess, which are things that can cultivate one's sentiments.

She often plays games with her eldest father.

But being able to understand it doesn't mean she is also a great chess player.

It can be roughly seen that this time, her third senior brother was really showing off.

Vice President Yang stood up and pulled Zimmer to his seat. "Come on, come on, play this game for me."

"Boy, if you can beat him, I promise to give you something good!"

He saw it clearly, this guy is very smart.

I talked for a long time, but he didn't move.

As soon as the robe was taken out, he stood up decisively.

This is for the robes!

Zimmer didn't refuse.

The dean didn't say anything else.

The two of them just did it very naturally, one person and one child playing.

This round lasted quite a long time.

The game lasted so long that Ning Ruan felt hungry. When she took out some melon seeds to eat, the game finally ended.

She also cracked a handful of melon seeds.

At the moment of ending, I was still enjoying it.

It's hard not to notice her.

The dean and the vice-dean both tilted their heads towards her.

They both paused.

The dean then said to Zimmer, "The vestments are yours."

"Although it's a draw, I should still reward you something."

After saying that, he waved his long sleeves lightly, and several rays of light fell on Qi Mo and the others at the same time.

Instructor Duan, Ning Ruan, and Yan Liang were outside the light.
