Fortunately, Yu Keqing has now recovered her strength, and Ye Xun no longer needs to worry about her getting sick due to lack of nutrition.

One day, after finishing his meal, he sat cross-legged and spread out the chessboard that Du Xiuming had given him in front of him.

The source of life was slightly repaired, and Ye Xun's white hair was much less than those days, but the root cause was not cured.

As for the minor injuries to his soul, he only needed to play a few games of chess with himself regularly to exercise his soul a little and he would be able to recover.

Yu Keqing sat on one side, her pretty face turned towards Ye Xun, the young man who was playing chess with her, but still did not move.

Over the next few days, Ye Xun and Yu Keqing still didn't say a word to each other, except that the white-haired woman would occasionally disappear for a while during the day and come back at night.

That night, Ye Xun was playing chess with himself with his eyes closed, when he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze blowing in front of him.

He opened his eyes and was suddenly startled.

The pretty face covered with an ice silk eye mask was so close at this moment that Ye Xun could even feel Yu Keqing's breath.

She was holding a Qingxin bamboo shoot in her hand, and the cuffs of her Taoist robe were stained with some mud and dust, obviously it had just been dug out not long ago.

"eat."

Qingxin bamboo shoots can be considered a very precious fairy herb. Its growing conditions are rather harsh. It usually only grows on the cliffs of islands close to the sea. It grows very hidden and can only be seen when you get close to it. Therefore, it cannot be grown by flying a sword and one can only climb with bare hands.

The only function of this magical herb is to nourish the soul. You only need to peel off the shell and take it raw.

Yu Keqing occasionally disappeared these days and was always looking for it.

The woman still said nothing. She stared at Ye Xun eating the Qingxin bamboo shoot heart, and then she spoke slowly.

"Has your spirit recovered a little?"

Ye Xun nodded.

“I have fully recovered.”

The injury to his soul was not serious to begin with, and was nothing compared to the severe damage he suffered in the ruins city.

With Qingxin bamboo shoots, Ye Xun recovered several days earlier than expected.

"You didn't have to get hurt."

Yu Keqing's voice was a little cold.

She was indeed still angry.

Ye Xun sighed helplessly.

"Feel sorry."

In this situation, it would be inappropriate for him to play dumb again.

However, it was a good thing that Yu Keqing was willing to speak to him. At least he didn't have to go through the process in the snow cave again to rebuild trust.

"What's wrong?"

But Lord Sword Master was more persistent than Ye Xun had expected.

Ye Xun was slightly stunned.

"You shouldn't force orders on me, Senior."

Yu Keqing's pretty brows slightly frowned.

"I shouldn't have neglected myself and always taken risks alone."

Ye Xun was stunned for a moment and did not respond directly.

He was a little confused about what Sword Master was thinking. She had been trying every means to keep a distance from him until she fell into the Island of Rest of Life.

"At least, don't order me to stand still so I can find a way to help you."

Yu Keqing said lightly again.

In order to help Ye Xun fuse his natal spirit sword that day, she paid a heavy price to break free from the instruction of "wait for him".

"understood."

Ye Xun nodded.

The sword master nodded, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

"But if you do something wrong, there should be some punishment."

This is what Yu Keqing's master taught her once upon a time, and now, he is using it on Ye Xun.

She is a powerful combined being. No matter what she wants to do, Ye Xun doesn't have much ability to disobey her. He can only wait quietly for Yu Keqing to speak.

"Senior Sword Master, how do you want to punish me?"

If one must be punished for making a mistake, then Ye Xun would be guilty of many sins.

In the snow cave, they force-fed Lady Swordsman, fearing that she would freeze to death, and then forced her to huddle together for warmth and fall asleep.

Not to mention that in the Land of Beginningless, he directly took away the innocence that Lord Sword Master had treasured for a hundred years, and after getting out, he also took away her first kiss.

It can be said that it is the utmost blasphemy.

What would be the punishment for such a thing?

It was rare for Ye Xun to feel a little awkward in front of Yu Keqing, and he even considered finding a chance to run away...

However, his appearance was enough to make Lord Swordsman completely relieved.

"Then I'll punish you by teaching me how to play chess."

"Playing chess?"

Ye Xun was a little confused.

Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are the four arts. Even the young ladies of ordinary small families will be taught from a young age to cultivate their sentiments, not to mention the former Luofu Sword Master.

You know, playing chess is one of the few pastimes for many powerful people. As far as Ye Xun knows, Du Xiuming, the drunkard, and Li Changfeng, the leader of Taiqing Sect, are both good at it.

She can't even play chess. Does that mean she doesn't have any entertainment in her daily life?

"Well, I'll remember the rest for you. Teach me how to play chess today."

Yu Keqing said calmly.

leftover?

Before Ye Xun could comprehend the hidden meaning of Yu Keqing's words, Lord Sword Master had already dusted off his sleeves and sat upright opposite the chessboard.

How come this look is a little... cute?

Ye Xun drove the weird thoughts out of his mind and immediately explained the rules to Yu Keqing.

Yu Keqing is worthy of being the master of swordsmanship, with a very high level of comprehension. Under Ye Xun's guidance, she quickly understood the rules and even won a few games when Ye Xun secretly gave her the chance to play chess.

The stiff atmosphere between the two of them over the past few days began to melt away unconsciously.

Afterwards, Yu Keqing got ready, cleared the chessboard, and prepared for the next game.

"It's just playing chess, it's boring, why don't we gamble a little bit?"

After tidying up the chessboard, Yu Keqing said calmly.

But Ye Xun could tell from her slightly red earlobe that she was not actually calm.

"I have nothing on me that is worthy of Master Jianshou's attention. If you want to cure the evil spirit, I will do my best to help you without any reward."

The only change of address was from the unfamiliar "Senior" to "Lord Sword Master". Because of what happened in his living environment, Ye Xun decided not to get too entangled with Yu Keqing.

Yu Keqing shook her head.

"It's just for fun, there's no need for such a heavy stake. The loser can just agree to a request from the winner that's not too difficult."

Ye Xun could see that Yu Keqing was in high spirits.

I just gave up a few games. Could it be that Lord Sword Master really thinks he is capable?

But she is a powerful combined body after all. Even without the deduction of the way of heaven, her calculation ability is extremely terrifying.

Ye Xun did not take it lightly. After all, the scene of playing chess with Du Xiuming last time was still vivid in his mind.

But he had no reason to refuse.

"it is good."

Chapter 130: Do you really want to see it?

"You hold the black man."

The white piece was as white as jade, but compared to the slender fingers holding it, it still pales in comparison and lacks a bit of the spiritual energy that was blessed by God.

Yu Keqing had just started playing Go, so logically, Ye Xun should have given the first move.

But Lord Swordsman’s stubbornness was hard to persuade; even with a blindfold on, one could tell he was eager to fight.

But her confident attitude at this moment made Ye Xun feel a little strange.

Through previous contact, Ye Xun could feel that Yu Keqing was indeed a novice, and even basic things like counting the number of eyes needed him to teach her.

Could it be that Lord Swordsman really has a hidden trick up his sleeve?

But this is actually more beneficial to Ye Xun.

Ye Xun remembered clearly that the reason why he had to teach Yu Keqing how to play chess was because of her "punishment".

In short, if losing two games could please Lord Sword Master and calm him down, he wouldn't mind giving in a little. It wouldn't go against his principles anyway.

"But don't hold back."

As if she could see what Ye Xun was thinking, the woman in white opposite her said calmly.

If she had to rely on Ye Xun to win the game, she would have been hesitant when making requests.

It can be seen that Lord Swordsman actually cares a lot about this bet.

This gave Ye Xun a headache. Theoretically, he had no reason to refuse the bet, and he couldn't really win against her. And he couldn't let her win too obviously...

Not to mention the three-sided dilemma, the most terrifying thing is that even if Ye Xun really lost as he wished, he still has to worry about whether she would make some strange requests.

Outsiders often say that Luofu Swordsman has no desires or ambitions, but based on his contact with her during this period, Ye Xun can be sure that it is a rumor.

After all, every time Ye Xun lit a fire to cook, he could feel Yu Keqing's "gaze". Sometimes even when he went to take a bath, he could often see Lord Sword Master meditating on the shore.

There was no other way. In this situation, he could only retreat and minimize the losses as much as possible.

"Since we've already made a bet, we should first agree on the outcome."

Yu Keqing raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she didn't understand Ye Xun's intention, but Ye Xun waved his hand calmly.

"If I lose, the sword master will naturally decide the punishment, but if I win..."

He paused slightly on purpose.

Yu Keqing's expression was somewhat hesitant. She couldn't guess what Ye Xun was going to say next. She just stared at him closely, feeling somewhat nervous.

"If I win, the Sword Master will demonstrate 'Chan Juan' to me."

There was a hint of disbelief in Yu Keqing's eyes, but it was exactly what Ye Xun had expected.

Chanjuan sword technique.

This is a sword technique that has been passed down in Luofu Sword Cave for a long time. It is somewhat famous in the four continents, but for some unknown reasons it has never been passed on to outsiders.

Even Ye Xun himself had only heard of such a move, but he was sure that Yu Keqing, as the sword master, would definitely know this sword technique.

In terms of significance, this set of sword moves is of great importance and is a treasure of the Luofu Sword Cave.

But Ye Xun just wanted Yu Keqing to perform, not directly asking for instruction.

The difference of two words is as drastic as a mile. In fact, it does not involve any confidential information, and there is no need to worry about being remembered by Luofu Sword Cave in the future.

The most important thing is that Ye Xun has set a tone for the bet between the two of them that is neither light nor heavy.

Even if Yu Keqing won, she couldn't make a more embarrassing request than this.

"You want me to perform 'Chan Juan' for you?"

Yu Keqing's face changed slightly and she frowned, as if she was a little embarrassed and annoyed.

"Yes."

After all, it is the clan's treasure, so it is natural for her to react like this.
