Fairy sister, I am not your white moonlight

After all, women are hard to coax, the strong are hard to persuade, and the elderly are hard to deceive.

Yu Keqing had all three of these qualities.

But to his surprise, after a brief thought, Lord Swordsman actually nodded.

"it is good."

She really likes playing chess.

Ye Xun finally figured it out.

It is very likely that Master Swordsman never had any entertainment in the first half of his life, which lasted hundreds of years.

Now, it can be considered as a retaliatory outburst.

But is it really that simple?

Looking at Yu Keqing who was leading him to his seat, Ye Xun actually saw some seriousness in her red eyes.

She may not just like playing chess, there may be other reasons.

Ye Xun looked at the chessboard, thinking in his heart, but he did not forget the important things.

He also had to check whether there was the mark on Lord Swordsman's chest to confirm who was the initiator of the "heart lock".

But the atmosphere is strange now, and it would be too easy to be misunderstood if I spoke directly.

Lord Jian Shou obviously still has something against me. After playing a few games of chess to ease the atmosphere, maybe things will get easier.

Yu Keqing made a "please" gesture to Ye Xun.

This time, she still stubbornly held the white piece.

However, it is impossible for chess skills to improve dramatically just by studying behind closed doors for a few days. Lady Swordsman is still very new, and this time Ye Xun did not take the initiative to give up the game, so she soon fell into a disadvantage.

Sure enough, he was deliberately giving in to me last time.

Yu Keqing narrowed her bright red eyes and laughed at herself in her heart.

Is he reminding her on purpose this time?

She still remembered the agreement between them, so she naturally would not deny the "Chanjuan" sword dance.

Yu Keqing's white pieces are about to lose.

"Sword Master, if you land here, the situation will be much better."

Ye Xun used his eyes to indicate an empty space on the chessboard.

Yu Keqing instinctively followed his gaze, then narrowed her eyes and was surprised to find that the situation was indeed leaning towards her side.

No, when did I get used to listening to him?

Lord Swordsman shook his head.

"You and I are playing chess, no need to remind me."

Sure enough, Lord Swordsman is still so stubborn.

Ye Xun shook his head helplessly, but he felt relieved in his heart.

Yu Keqing's attitude was still within his expectations.

"I thought Jian Shou was sincere in learning chess from me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Swordsman, who was originally frowning, suddenly froze.

"If we land here and take the initiative to attack, we can turn passivity into opportunity. This is the key to breaking the deadlock."

Ye Xun placed a black piece and then pointed to an empty space.

Yu Keqing hesitated for a moment, but still did as she was told.

On the chessboard, Ye Xun was guiding the swordsman to make his move.

In reality, Ye Xun also took back the initiative.

Dusk passed in a flash, and as night fell, the chessboard in front of the two of them gradually became full. Ye Xun held the black piece in his hand, frowned as he stared at the board, and after pondering for a moment, he resigned and admitted defeat.

"You won. In this way, the Sword Master can be considered as a master."

Won.

Yu Keqing was excited, but she still played the chess pieces according to the method Ye Xun had taught her. It was not until she was sure that she was indeed seven and a half points better than Ye Xun that a smile unconsciously appeared on her pretty face.

No, this is no different from that day. I can only win under his command.

Yu Keqing suddenly woke up and felt a little depressed.

"I wonder why Master Swordsman is so obsessed with playing chess?"

Ye Xun noticed the disappointment on Yu Keqing's pretty face and asked casually.

The sword head still had the habit of moving closer to Ye Xun while playing chess. Now his whole body was almost sticking to the chessboard, only one foot away from Ye Xun's face.

Seeing that she had let down her guard, Ye Xun wanted to press on and after easing the relationship, he could make that somewhat difficult request.

At that time, let Lord Sword Master check if there are any marks on his chest. It is not too difficult to ask.

Ye Xun was thinking about this when he saw Lord Swordsman frowning in hesitation.

"If it involves any secrets that are inconvenient to mention, it's better not to say it."

It seems like I accidentally touched upon her private affairs?

Ye Xun wisely chose to avoid the question and planned to change the subject.

It’s a pity that some of the previous preparations were wasted, and Lord Swordsman will inevitably become alert again.

However, after hearing this, Yu Keqing just raised her head and stared at him with her red eyes.

"I just don't want to regret it."

Chapter 143: The Sword Master's Past

Yu Keqing's father was an excellent chess player and was revered as the chess saint in the secular world.

However, he was too upright when he served as an official, so he made countless enemies and his entire family was murdered.

There were eighteen people in the family, both men and women, but Yu Keqing was the only one who was too young to survive by hiding under a chessboard. She didn't even make a sound when her relatives were killed in front of her.

Since I can't feel any emotions, I naturally can't feel any fear.

But the thought of revenge still exists.

"Later, my master picked me up. In order to make me forget worldly affairs, she smashed the only chessboard left in the Yu family in front of me."

Ye Xun sounded a little bit reluctant, but Yu Keqing's narration was too calm.

Hundreds of years have passed since the massacre. The little girl who had never learned her own chess back then has become the Luofu Sword Master, and the instigators of the massacre have also been held accountable, but that's a story for later.

Yu Keqing can no longer remember what happened at that time. Since she can't feel any emotions, how can her memory be called unforgettable?

However, it was at that time that she got Yinshuang. From then on, there was only cultivation and sword in her life.

Luofu Sword Cave has a long history, and contains many secrets that are not passed down by the sect, but the most well-known of them is the Forgetful Sword Art.

This is the foundation of the Sword Cave. There is no written book on it passed down to the world, and it can only be passed down orally from generation to generation by sword masters.

Since it can be called "Tao", this technique is naturally different. According to legend, if one wants to practice this technique, one needs to suppress one's emotions and reach a state of emptiness and mindlessness.

In fact, only by cutting off one's own emotional ties can one have a chance to break through the top level and reach the legendary realm above fusion.

Yu Keqing was born without the ability to feel emotions, so it was natural that she could achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing this technique.

It was precisely because of this that her master took notice of her and brought her back to the sect, treating her as his own daughter.

"My master was very strict at that time. She never relaxed her training on me and was very serious. Even when I was covered in wounds and vomiting blood, she only let me bandage myself and not stop."

Yu Keqing stated calmly.

It turned out to be the case.

Ye Xun nodded, vaguely understanding why the clumsy Sword Master was so skilled in bandaging himself.

Most of it was learned during practice back then.

If Wuqing is the true nature of Luofu Sword Master, then Yu Keqing who came later is probably the most evil Sword Master.

"This kind of sword training continued day after day until I broke through to the fusion stage, and all those who had exterminated my family that year were killed."

Yu Keqing's red eyes were clear, as if she was narrating something that had nothing to do with her.

"Since then, her entire spirit and energy have plummeted. She just stayed in Jianshou Pavilion all day, playing chess with herself.

Later I learned that Master had already passed his death, but had used secret methods to hold on until now. Now that he has watched me grow up, he has breathed a sigh of relief, and naturally he will suffer the backlash of borrowing his lifespan. "

After this, Luofu Sword Cave was actually controlled by Yu Keqing himself, and the old sword master no longer asked about the affairs of the sect.

Yu Keqing had to continue practicing and deal with all the matters in the sect, so naturally she had no time to accompany her master.

The old swordsman proposed to play chess with her several times, but she always declined with the excuse of being busy.

Yu Keqing stared at the chessboard in front of her with her red eyes, at those black and white squares that had entangled her life for hundreds of years. Even now, with Ye Xun's guidance, she had only understood a few moves.

"She didn't know how to play chess in the past, but the day before she passed away, Master insisted on calling me to Jianshou Pavilion and wanted to play a game with me."

As long as one is human, it is impossible for one to be truly ruthless.

What was the old swordsman thinking when he smashed Yu Keqing's chessboard?

What was Yu Keqing thinking at that time, seeing her master, who had destroyed her family's thoughts with her own hands and had raised her, become like this?

"The results of it?"

Ye Xun asked unconsciously.

"That was the first time Master smiled at me, but I didn't understand what it meant. She asked me to play chess with her, but I just wanted to continue practicing sword skills and didn't accompany her."

When Yu Keqing spoke, she showed no joy or sadness, no trace of sorrow or any pleasure of revenge.

Just calm, she was a little too calm.

"However, the chessboard next to her bed is exactly the same as the one in the Yu family back then."

Her red eyes turned slightly, and the scene of her master's death gradually became clear in front of her.

Black chess pieces, white chess pieces, and several introductory chess manuals that showed obvious signs of being flipped through.

She didn't know how long he had been looking through the chess records alone, but Yu Keqing had no emotions at the time, so naturally she couldn't see that.

Ye Xun sighed.

“She probably regrets it too.”

He vaguely understood

Yu Keqing stared at the chessboard in front of her and did not answer directly. Instead, she changed the subject calmly.

"That's why I want to learn chess from you."

This is truly Yu Keqing's private matter.

Over the past hundreds of years, Yu Keqing only mentioned this to Ye Xun once, and no one else knew about Lord Swordsman's past.

She did not hate the old swordsman for destroying her father's relics. If Yu Keqing really went to take revenge at that time, she would only be seeking death.

On the contrary, the old sword master taught her swordsmanship and led her on the path to immortality. Except for being a little cruel during training, he treated her like his own daughter in other aspects, which was the real opportunity for her revenge.

However, the art of Forgetful Swordsmanship made both of them not good at expressing their feelings.

But things are different now.

Yu Keqing smiled as if at herself, feeling the chaotic emotions in her heart that even prevented her from concentrating.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Xun.

"Now that you've heard so much, you should tell me about yourself. You suddenly offered to teach me how to play chess, but you shouldn't just want to hear about my dark history."

Dark history...

Looking at the woman's cold and charming smile, Ye Xun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

I think I have heard it a bit too much.

It's just to ease the mood of Lord Sword Master, there's nothing I can do.
