I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Mingchuan placed the porridge on the table and explained with a smile, "I added some stomach-nourishing herbs to help you relieve your hangover and replenish your body."

Dong Chuyan took a sip of the millet porridge. The warm porridge slid into her stomach, and the nausea caused by the hangover disappeared instantly, and her whole body felt warm.

"It's delicious. I feel a lot lighter."

Ran Qianqian had already wolfed down two pancakes and spoke incoherently.

"If I had known there was something so delicious, I would have drunk less last night! Mingchuan, you'll be the one making breakfast from now on!"

Mingchuan looked at the three people eating with satisfaction, but felt a little jealous.

He made breakfast? This was a difficult situation. He couldn't stay here for long...

Noticing Mingchuan's disappointment, Leng Xi quickly winked at Ran Qianqian.

Ran Qianqian curled her lips in grievance and said nothing more.

At this moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Brother Ming!"

Mingchuan looked back and saw one of Axiong's younger brothers running towards him in a hurry.

He raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Ming... well, did you forget about Old Master Ye after you came back? He sent me here to ask you to play chess with him..."

The corners of Mingchuan's mouth twitched.

It's over. Old man Ye Yan will definitely say that he has forgotten his father because he has a wife.

Leng Xi hurriedly urged him: "Hurry up and eat something and go see Master. He has been waiting for you for more than a year and it's been very hard."

Mingchuan nodded: "Okay."

He stuffed some food into his mouth and followed him.

Don't mention it, he is full of anger now.

After not seeing each other for a long time, he was very curious about how much his current cultivation level differed from that of his master Ye Yan.

Mingchuan sped all the way with excitement in his heart.

Soon they arrived at the yard where Ye Yan lived.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw a pearwood chessboard placed in the middle of the courtyard paved with bluestone slabs.

Ye Yan was wearing a plain Tang suit and sitting on a bamboo chair. He held a black piece in his hand and slowly placed it on the empty chessboard opposite him.

The morning light shone on his silver hair, making him look like an immortal.

"Boy, are you finally willing to come and see an old man like me?"

Ye Yan didn't even raise his head. As soon as the black dot on his fingertip landed, he raised his chin in Mingchuan's direction and said, "Come in. Don't stand at the door like a pillar."

Mingchuan walked into the courtyard with a smile and sat down on the bamboo chair opposite him: "Master's sense is still as sharp as ever!"

"Stop flattering me." Ye Yan raised his eyes and glanced at him, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

"The spiritual energy on you is more than a level stronger than before. I can feel it from three blocks away. You must have made many breakthroughs in this past year or so, right?"

Mingchuan smiled and nodded: "Thanks to Master for setting me up with some connections in the past, I was able to climb this high branch, so I was lucky enough to break through a few small realms."

"Lucky?" Ye Yan smiled helplessly and shook his head, pushing a white piece in front of him, "Stop your smooth talk."

"Come, play a game of chess with me. If you can beat me today, I won't hold it against you for forgetting your master because you got a wife!"

"Hahaha." Mingchuan laughed out loud. This old naughty boy is still the same as always!

"Okay, but how do you want to proceed?"

Ye Yan scoffed lightly: "You have abundant spiritual energy now, so of course you should use it! Let me see your true strength now!"

Mingchuan's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Okay, then I won't be polite!"

Playing chess with spiritual energy can both promote each other and maintain harmony, and it is a good opportunity to test one's current strength.

He gathered a strand of red-gold spiritual energy at his fingertips and gently wrapped it around a white stone. "Here I come!"

As Mingchuan finished speaking, his spiritual power lifted the white piece slowly into the air and landed precisely on a star position on the chessboard.

Ye Yan was also not vague. Light green spiritual power emanated from his fingertips, rolling up the black piece and dropping it diagonally opposite the white piece.

The spiritual powers of the two people collided gently above the chessboard, stirring up a slight airflow that caused the petals in the courtyard to tremble slightly!

"Not bad, your spiritual power is much more condensed than before." A hint of approval flashed in Ye Yan's eyes, but his hands did not stop. The second black piece fell with even stronger spiritual power, directly approaching Mingchuan's chess path. "But condensation alone is not enough, you also have to know how to control it."

Mingchuan's heart trembled, and he quickly adjusted the strength of his spiritual power. The white pieces flexibly avoided the encirclement of the black pieces, and instead went around to the side, forming a counterattack.

One of them attacked and the other defended, and the spiritual power on the chessboard intertwined into an invisible net.

Under the control of spiritual power, the black and white pieces kept moving into position, sometimes colliding violently, sometimes maneuvering cleverly!

Mingchuan became more and more involved, and felt that the spiritual energy in his body was flowing more and more smoothly.

When he played chess with Ye Yan in the past, he was always suppressed to the point of being breathless, but now, he can actually compete with his master.

Just as he was about to place a crucial move to force Ye Yan into a corner, Ye Yan suddenly chuckled, and his light blue spiritual power suddenly became stronger, directly wrapping around Mingchuan's white piece and gently pushing it away from the board!

"Hey?" Mingchuan was stunned. "Master, you are cheating!"

"What do you mean by cheating?" Ye Yan withdrew his spiritual power, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, "This is called using someone else's force to counterattack!"

"Your spiritual power is indeed strong, but you are too eager to win, which has exposed your flaws. The world of cultivation is not like the human world. Your opponent will not give you a chance to adjust."

Mingchuan rolled his eyes. "You're just playing dirty, and you're even making it sound noble. You know I'm incredibly powerful, and I'm not afraid of those idiots at all."

The corner of Ye Yan's mouth twitched, and he picked up a chess piece and threw it at his face.

Mingchuan pinched it instantly!

"You little bastard, you're arguing with me, your father!"

"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. Tell me, you came back this time not just to see us, right? Did you deal with the monster riot in the west of the city last night?"

Mingchuan also put aside his joking intention and told the whole story of everything that happened since he returned to the human world.

After listening to this, Ye Yan didn't care about the "life and death game" between him and Jin Man. He directly grasped the key point and frowned.

"Blood Moon Enchantress? That woman is ruthless and skilled in sorcery. You'd better be careful when you face her."

Mingchuan looked at Ye Yan, touched his chin and chuckled, "Master, you have always been very powerful. Back then, you even had the ability to get me into the world of cultivation. I wonder if you have any benefits for your disciple now?"

Ye Yan glanced at him.

"You still need benefits? You've already tamed three dragons, what benefits do you want? Don't try to play tricks on me!"

"Besides, although those people sound extremely dangerous, they are actually nothing to you."

Mingchuan: ...

Oh, no one knows his son better than his father!

"Well, I can't even get anything good out of you."

Ye Yan smiled and pointed at him with his chess piece, "You little brat, you're much more capable than our master now, and you still want to get some benefits from me!"

"Stop messing around with me!"
