At the same time, in a brightly lit building built against the mountain beside Kunming Lake.
A tall and majestic old man with an extraordinary bearing was playing chess with a dignified young man on a Torreya wood chessboard.
The black and white Yong Chang chess pieces looked as gentle as jade. They were locked in battle on the chessboard.
In the end, the young man with the white chess piece won and gradually surrounded the black chess pieces.
The old man put a few black chess pieces in his hand into the chess box and laughed heartily. "Lixuan, your chess skills have improved, and your layout is far-sighted. I'm old, and I can't do it anymore! "
His eyes were filled with admiration and gratification, but there was also a hint of fear that was difficult to detect.
"Grandpa Ye, you've given in to me! I'm too sharp, and you're the one who has endless tricks up your sleeve! "The handsome young man smiled humbly.
On the plaque hanging on the lintel of the pavilion, there were a few gilded words "Songtao Pavilion". The surroundings were filled with pine trees and covered in snow.
Songtao Pavilion was located in a large manor. There were pavilions, nine winding corridors, rockeries, and strange rocks. Lotus ponds and fish ponds complemented each other. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and had an antique atmosphere. Under the bright lights, it looked like a fairyland on earth.
This Songtao Villa, known as the "Pearl of Yanjing", was remodeled from the courtyard of an Iron Hat King in the Qing Dynasty.
Standing at the highest point of Songtao Pavilion, one could directly overlook half of Kunming Lake. The location was blessed by nature.
This was a private club belonging to the Song Family. It was usually used to entertain the top tycoons, high-ranking officials, and cultural celebrities.
Beside him, there was a woman with an extraordinary temperament in a cheongsam brewing tea on a tea tray.
The woman was about forty years old, but the merciless carving knife of time did not leave a single mark on her body. Her skin was still as smooth as jade.
On the contrary, her temperament was even more graceful. On her wrist was a set of Nine-Eyed Heavenly Jewels worth at least ten million yuan.
Her movements of brewing tea were as smooth as flowing water. If a tea ceremony master was here, he would definitely praise her and be amazed.
"Master, Young Master Lu, have a cup of tea!"
The woman stretched out her snow-white wrist and handed over an exquisite porcelain teacup made in Jingdezhen.
Lu Lixuan took it with both hands and took a sip. His eyes lit up and he smiled. "Good tea! Authentic Pre-Ming Longjing tea! This water should be the Tiger Running Spring! I heard that when Grandpa Ye came to Beijing this time, he took a private plane for himself and used the other plane to carry spring water. He really knows how to enjoy life! "
"How can I enjoy myself as much as you young people?"
The old man laughed and said, "Young Xu, the richest man in Southern Min Province. I've helped him once. He has a few acres of tea plantation in Lion Peak's Plum Dock. Every year, he would send some over. It can be considered a more authentic Longjing tea! "
"Lixuan, if you're interested in gathering your friends to pick tea, we can make it in time for Pre-Ching Ming Tea. If you're too busy, you can wait for Guyu. Qingming and Guyu are both good seasons."
"Grandpa Ye's tea is good, the water is good, but Aunt Cai's tea ceremony is even better!" Lu Lixuan glanced at the tea girl and said.
The woman with the surname Cai smiled and said, "Lixuan, if you want to drink tea, go to Jiangzhe more often. There's a lot of good tea and water there!"
The old man sipped his tea and casually commented, "Little Cai's personality is too unyielding and impulsive. In martial arts, she's on par with Huo Qingtian, Lin Zhenyu, and Wu Yingxiong. However, she's still a little lacking. That's why I didn't dare to let her expand all these years and only let her stay in Jiangzhe and Zhonghai!"
If there were martial artists present, they would have cursed out loud. How could a weak woman be on par with the likes of Huo Qingtian, Lin Zhenyu, and Wu Yingxiong? It was like a joke.
However, Lu Lixuan had a higher opinion of Cai Zhijing. He smiled and said, "Aunt Cai became a Transcendent Master in her thirties and became the underground queen of Jiangzhe. She's a hidden dragon in the abyss. If it weren't for Old Master Ye, she would have dominated Hua Xia long ago!"
Cai Zhijing smiled faintly and said,
"You flatter me, Young Master Lu. I'm quite satisfied. Drinking tea and listening to songs in Jiangzhe is not a bad thing."
Lu Lixuan suddenly rose to his feet and walked to the window. He looked down at the frozen Kunming Lake and said with a smile,
"Grandpa Ye, did the Ye Zhantian family have anything to say about your visit to Yan Jin?"
The old man's eyelids twitched. He forced a smile and said,
"Ye Tianren asked us to seal off the mountain for fifty years. It's already over! Besides, I'm just a rich man now. I've never been involved in any martial arts competition. Besides, Young Master Lu has invited me. What can Ye Zhantian do? "
"If you ask me, Ye Zhantian must be afraid of your power. You are already an Immortal State Warrior. Ye Zhantian is only half a step away from Immortal State. "
Lu Lixuan smiled and said,
"Back then, Ye Zhantian ranked you as the fifth Grandmaster in Hua Xia on the Divine Roll. He even put Huo Qingtian ahead of you. In fact, he was just a junior. What right did he have to judge you?"
"Many people don't know that the Hong Sect, the Qing Gang, the Blue Cloth Society and the Nine-story Pagoda were the four major gangs in Hua Xia. At that time, the Qing Gang was so prosperous and glorious that even Du Yuesheng and Wang Chongyan had to call you Young Dragon Head. Even Jiang Jianfeng had to bow to you and call you Grand Uncle. "
"However, on the eve of the Battle of the River Crossing, Ye Tianren crossed the river with a single leaf, defeated the Green Gang, expelled the Blue Cloth Society, and destroyed the Nine Storey Pagoda. He killed so many people and killed so many heroes. Wang Chongyan crossed the ocean and went to Singapore. The Nine Storey Pagoda could only hole up in Bao Island. The Ye Family could only swear to seal their mountain for fifty years and not set foot north of the Yellow River. For decades, you've been under others. Don't tell me you don't want to regain your glory? "
The old man's smile froze on his face. After a long silence, he shook his head and sighed.
"Lixuan, that's impossible! It's a new era and a new society. Let's not talk about those things anymore. People will laugh at us if they know about it. "
He seemed to be talking to himself.
"I didn't like drinking tea before, but after I tried it, I fell in love with it. Lixuan, look at this tea set. The teapot, the cups, the plates, the pans, the chopsticks and the crockery, not to mention the tedious process of brewing the tea. It's one step after another, and I have to take care of it carefully. It's just like fishing doesn't necessarily like eating fish, it's just that you enjoy the process."
The old man was the lord of the Ye Family, the fifth on the Divine Roll and a martial arts tycoon who had dominated the Yangtze River Delta region for decades.
"I value results more than anything else."
Lu Lixuan turned around and looked at Ye Wudao with a smile.
"His temperament has been honed, and his sharpness has also been worn away!"
"What if I tell Elder Ye that this time, Zhang Qianlei is also prepared to come out and help us?"
"Zhang Qianlei? The Heavenly Master Sect of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the most powerful Dharma Spell Master in the world? "
Leaf Dao-Denier's eyes flickered with light that seemed almost corporeal.
"Zhang Qianlei and Ye Tianren used to be as famous as Ye Tianren in the North and Zhang Qianlei in the South. Ye Tianren was the best in martial arts, and Zhang Qianlei was the best in spells. However, the country paid more attention to science and got rid of the Four Olds. Zhang Qianlei didn't want to offend Guo Guoguo, so he closed his door. I heard that he had been living in Yan Jin in recent years. It turns out that he's living in your family. "
"The Lu Family and the Song Family took turns to worship him."
Lu Lixuan smiled and said.
"If it weren't for the Lu Family and the Song Family, the Heavenly Master Sect of Dragon Tiger Mountain would have been destroyed. That's why Celestial Master Zhang is so loyal to our Lu Family and listens to everything we say! "
"Now, Ye Tianren is living in seclusion and no one knows if he's dead or alive. The Bai Family is gone and the six Martial Arts Families in Yan Jin don't even have an Immortal State Warrior. They are nothing to worry about. "
"Zhang Qianlei is already at the peak stage of his Dao Body and has even seen the truth of a half-step Mortal Deity. With Mr. Ye's help and the help of the Lu Family and the Song Family, we can fight against the Huaxia Long Formation. Then, we can dominate Yan Jin and overlook Hua Xia. Ye Zhantian is nothing to us. "
"With you around, help me govern the Jiangzhe area. We'll attack from both sides and take down Huo Qingtian of the Central Plains. Then, we'll be able to negotiate with the hidden sects. They can't do without the support of the secular world!"
"Have you forgotten that Kang Tae-chu is in Yan Jin right now?" Ye Wudao said.
As soon as he said this, Cai Zhijing, the underground queen of Jiangzhe, suddenly shook her hand and the atmosphere in the tea room became solemn.
"Kang Tae-chu is either too lazy or too arrogant. He doesn't care about the mortal world."
Lu Lixuan sneered.
"The Xia Family, the Ge Family and the Han Family wanted to recruit Kang Tae-chu and hold the Adjudicator Ceremony to suppress the Lu Family and the Song Family. However, he refused and the matter was left unsettled.
"He doesn't know how to control his subordinates or how to help the people. In my opinion, he is just a boorish martial artist who can't be helped.
"And his carelessness is the best time for us to rise! Now is not the time to lose, Old Master Ye. "
Leaf Dao-Denier pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and spoke in a clear voice.
"Since Master Lei is willing to help Master Lu, and the Ye Family and Xiao Cai are under the protection of the Lu Family and the Song Family, I have no reason to refuse. I will attend the banquet tomorrow. "
"Good. I will be waiting for you, Old Master Ye. "Lu Lixuan bowed deeply to show his gratitude.
Leaf Dao-Denier said his goodbyes and left in a very low-key black Audi.
"Master, are we really going to help Lu Lixuan? He wants us to give up the Huaxia Long Formation. "
Cai Zhijing asked after they were a kilometer away from the villa.
