"Father, I understand."

Li Mu bowed to Li Zhan.

Watching his son leave, Li Zhan thought of Li Mu's words. Everything that happened just now was caused by the Blue-Eyed Ape King. He felt uneasy. He and his son had provoked the Blue-Eyed Ape King before. Would the Blue-Eyed Ape King cause trouble for them?

At this moment in the Jixia Academy, Confucian scholars were whispering to each other, their eyes full of awe.

However, compared to the invited foreign guests, the situation inside the Jixia Academy was much better. At this moment, these people not only did not show any fear, but were excited instead, and their eyes could not help but fall on the courtyard where Ye Chen lived.

These people knew how terrifying Ye Chen was. With just one painting, he made three thousand Confucian scholars comprehend the sword spirit, and half of them entered the sword path. In the eyes of these people, Ye Chen was an immortal, a god.

Since Ye Chen's arrival, strange phenomena have often occurred here.

The moment the vision appeared, they felt proud that the Jixia Academy had such an existence.

The poetry and wine conference was extremely lively.

The moment Ye Chen and Liu Yun appeared, figures hurriedly stood up and said, "Welcome, Master Jijiu."

Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement, while some people who didn't know Ye Chen had disdain in their eyes.

They thought it was ridiculous that the Jixia Academy would let such a person be the chief priest. Even if it was just an honorary chief priest, they felt that Ye Chen was not worthy of it, because in their eyes, Ye Chen was too young.

As soon as Ye Chen sat down, an old scholar stood up and said, "This is my first time meeting you, Lord Jijiu. I wonder what you are proficient in. The Jixia Academy has music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and flowers. I wonder which one you are proficient in."

"Sir, I don't understand spiritual cultivation, but I have some knowledge of painting, calligraphy, chess, playing the piano, and brewing wine."

At this moment, Ye Chen also felt that the other party had bad intentions and replied.

Ye Chen does have profound attainments in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In these areas, Ye Chen has been canonized by the system.

"He Qi, are you looking for death? Step back and apologize to the Lord Jijiu immediately."

Seeing how provocative the old scholar from outside was to Ye Chen, Liu Yun hurriedly reminded him in a cold voice.

However, He Qi directly ignored Liu Yun's words. Today, He Qi came with the purpose of suppressing the Jixia Academy. Seeing that Ye Chen was so young, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to give Jixia Academy a slap in the face.

"Do you understand? The poetry and wine party hasn't started yet, how about we play the next game?" He Qiben is a master of chess, so at this moment he naturally wants to crush Li Yixi with chess first and make the Jixia Academy lose face.

"it is good!"

At this moment, Ye Chen had a smile on his face. Although Ye Chen instinctively felt that the other party had bad intentions, Ye Chen had never been defeated in playing chess. The better this person was at chess, the happier Ye Chen was.

"Master of the Imperial Court, please!"

There was a smile of success on the corner of Lao Rusheng's mouth. He waved his hand and a chessboard that had been prepared long ago appeared between him and Ye Chen. It was obvious that he had prepared for it.

"you······"

Li Mu, Liu Yun, and the others saw that this person was well prepared. A hint of coldness flashed in their eyes, and they were about to scold He Qi. However, Hu Sheng, who was beside Li Mu and Liu Yun, quickly sent a message: "Master Jijiu, Elder Liu, don't worry. Provoking the young master now is just courting death. We can just watch, it will be over quickly. Master Jijiu uses all the ways as chess pieces. No matter how powerful He Qi is, he is just a mortal."

Hu Sheng, who had played chess with Ye Chen, knew how terrifying Ye Chen was. Hu Sheng had also heard of how terrifying Ye Chen was, but even when he was terrifying, he was just playing ordinary chess. Ye Chen, on the other hand, was using Cang Wandao as his chess piece. When they played chess with Ye Chen, they were all extremely worried and cautious. Ye Chen was also giving them instructions from the side. Otherwise, who could be Ye Chen's opponent?

In order to win the game in the shortest possible time, He Qi placed a chess piece first.

Ye Chen smiled and said nothing, then placed a chess piece.

"How can this be?"

"This person's chess actually contains illusions? Shameless, he turns out to be a person who practices the way of illusion. So what? I won't lose."

He Qi felt the changes in the earth at this moment. He was in a space playing chess with Ye Chen. Strange visions appeared one after another and he felt that everything was an illusion.

Continue to fight with Ye Chen on the chessboard.

After more than thirty moves, He Qi, who originally thought he was going to win, suddenly changed his expression.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? Everything was carried out according to my plan. I calculated every move. Why did I lose?"

At this moment, He Qi thought he had the victory in his grasp, but suddenly Ye Chen made a move and he lost the whole game.

At this moment, he was horrified to see a bolt of lightning from the void falling on him.

In the hall, everyone looked at He Qi, who was concentrating and sweating profusely. He was originally sure of victory, but was suddenly defeated by Ye Chen with one move.

When everyone was exclaiming in amazement at Ye Chen's brilliant move, He Qi howled miserably in front of everyone, and fell to the ground with blood flowing from all his orifices.

"not good!"

"He Sheng, He Sheng."

The expressions of those who followed He Qi here changed drastically in an instant. They hurriedly helped He Qi up and left the Jixia Academy anxiously.

At this moment, Ye Chen looked calm and composed.

"Master, there is something wrong with this guy's chess moves. He must have prepared for it in advance." Hu Sheng frowned.

"Well, this should be an endgame, so he made his moves very quickly, seemingly without even having to think about it. But it's a pity, not every endgame is unsolvable."

"Alas, this person is too competitive. He was so angry that he lost a game of chess and even started bleeding. It's not a good thing to care too much about winning or losing." Ye Chen sighed.

"It's the chief priest." Hu Sheng and others were all excited at this moment. Although they knew Ye Chen would win, Ye Chen actually broke a dead end, which was beyond everyone's expectations. He Qi was indeed well prepared, but it was a pity that he met not a human, but an immortal.

Everyone in Qishan looked at Ye Chen with admiration.

"Master Jijiu, this is the best wine our wine valley has brewed this year. Please enjoy it, young master."

At this moment, the owner of the Wine Valley walked up to Ye Chen with a jar of wine, excitedly poured a bowl for Ye Chen, and asked Ye Chen to taste it.

"Wine? I like it. How about I try it?"

Ye Chen picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He closed his eyes and felt it silently.

As the Master of Jiugu Valley expected, Ye Chen opened his eyes.

"Master Jijiu, how is it?"

The Master of the Wine Valley was very excited at this moment, and many of the Wine Valley's disciples were also looking at Ye Chen with great anticipation.

"This wine is very special and strong, but it makes people feel very comfortable. At this moment, I feel that my whole body is full of strength. What kind of wine is this?" At this moment, Ye Chen stared at the master of the Wine Valley with curiosity.
