Ji Tianxing had won against Su Chen, but his expression was as calm as still water.
When he heard Su Chen's question, he raised his eyebrows and revealed a puzzled expression.
"What Chess Saint? Xie Wudao … That kid has become the Chess Saint? Who gave him that title? "
Ji Tianxing asked Su Chen without thinking, his face full of surprise.
Su Chen was dumbfounded on the spot. He stared at Ji Tianxing with his mouth agape, his lips trembling. "That kid?
Young Master Ji, you … you actually … offended the Chess Saint! "
Su Chen had long heard of Ji Tianxing's name and deeds. He knew that he was the number one genius of the younger generation and that he was an extremely arrogant person.
However, he had never imagined that Ji Tianxing would dare to call the Chess Saint by his name and even call him "that kid"!
Chess Saint Xie Wudao was very respected in his heart, and he was comparable to his father.
He could not tolerate Ji Tianxing's blasphemy against the Chess Saint!
However, Ji Tianxing glanced at him and asked with a faint smile, "Young Master Su, it seems that you admire Xie Wudao a lot?"
Su Chen replied without hesitation, "Of course! Chess Saint Xie Wudao is one of the ten great Martial Saints of the country. He founded the Black-White College and created the world-famous Daoless Sword Manual!
He is the number one chess player in the world. He merged chess and swordsmanship and created the black and white sword qi. Even the Divine Master often praises him!
Young Master Ji, although you are the number one genius of the younger generation, you must not blaspheme the Chess Saint's name! "
When he spoke of Chess Saint Xie Wudao's reputation and honor, Su Chen's tone was passionate and full of admiration.
Ji Tianxing, on the other hand, revealed a playful smile as he thought to himself, 'Haha … I really didn't expect that the most good-for-nothing kid who doesn't do proper work would have such accomplishments today.'
When he thought of Xie Wudao, memories of the past surfaced in his mind.
A thousand years ago, Kenshin had guarded Tianzhu Mountain and challenged all the Martial Saints of the world.
Countless Martial Saints had come to challenge him, but they had all been defeated by his sword.
In just a few short years, his name had spread throughout the entire Shenwu Continent, and countless martial artists worshipped him.
Almost every day, countless young martial artists would travel thousands of miles to the Pillar of Heavens Mountains to seek guidance from their masters.
Although there were more than two hundred disciples in the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
However, there were only a few people that Ji Tianxing could still remember.
After all, those people had distinctive characteristics that left a deep impression on him.
For example, Little White, who was the most thick-skinned of them all, would later become the White Dragon God.
Another example was Xie Wudao, who loved chess as much as his life!
That skinny kid had dark skin like a skinny monkey, but his eyes were abnormally bright.
He was always dressed in a greasy black robe, and his hair was as messy as a chicken's nest.
His favorite thing to do was to hold a set of Purple Jade Chess and disturb his fellow apprentices when they were practicing their swordsmanship.
Kenshin had noticed this person before. He had asked Huang Long to remind Xie Wudao to focus on practicing the sword and not to neglect his duties. More importantly, he should not disturb other people's cultivation.
However, Xie Wudao did not repent and continued to be obsessed with chess.
As usual, he went around looking for people to play chess with, causing his fellow apprentices to avoid him.
Later, Huang Long became angry and wanted to expel Xie Wudao from the sect and chase him down the mountain.
Xie Wudao knelt down and begged for mercy, kneeling for an entire night in the rain.
Huang Long reported this matter to Kenshin, and Kenshin was especially kind and personally summoned Xie Wudao.
In a secret room, Xie Wudao explained the cause of the matter.
It turned out that his father was a chess master who had taught him chess since he was a child and insisted that the art of chess could reach the heavens.
When the Xie family had been attacked by a powerful enemy and was completely wiped out, Xie Wudao's father had given him an ancient chess manual and a Purple Jade Chessboard before his death.
Because of this, Xie Wudao had inherited his father's unfulfilled wish and decided to train hard in chess in hopes of reaching the heavens.
In order to avoid being hunted down by his enemies and to take revenge, he had traveled thousands of miles to the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
After learning about Xie Wudao's experience, Kenshin had decided to teach him.
Kenshin took the ancient chess manual and studied it for nine days and nine nights, understanding all the mysteries within.
Then, he passed on the contents of the chess manual to Xie Wudao, correcting and perfecting it, and also taught him the mysteries of swordsmanship.
Xie Wudao was enlightened and went into seclusion to train hard, thanking Kenshin profusely.
As for what happened after that … Kenshin left before Xie Wudao could complete his training.
The memories ended there.
Ji Tianxing came back to his senses and saw Su Chen staring straight at him.
"Young Master Ji, I hope you can sincerely apologize to the Chess Saint for your inappropriate words and actions just now!"
Su Chen stared at him with a solemn expression and said in a serious tone.
Ji Tianxing smiled and said in a playful tone, "Even if I apologize, would Xie Wudao dare to accept it?"
Su Chen was stunned for a moment and his expression became even stranger. There was a faint anger in his heart.
He wanted to say something, but Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said seriously, "Su Chen, you've lost, so you have to leave Pine Courtyard. Don't follow me anymore."
Su Chen's expression was a little ugly. He pursed his lips but could not refute.
He was shocked and regretful. He hated himself for making a bet with Ji Tianxing and falling into his trap.
After a moment of silence, he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Ji, don't worry. I'm not someone who goes back on my words. I'll fulfill the bet now …"
After saying that, Su Chen sighed silently and turned to leave unwillingly.
…
After leaving Pine Courtyard, Su Chen hurried to the depths of Changyun Palace and entered a secret chamber in the palace.
In the secret chamber, bright lights were lit all around. A wide white jade table was placed in the middle.
There was a large topographic map on the table and many memorials and documents were piled up.
The golden-robed Holy Emperor Changyun was standing beside the table. He stared at the map with a serious expression and frowned in deep thought.
Su Chen came to the table and bowed respectfully.
"Son greets father!"
Holy Emperor Changyun was still staring at the table. He did not look up and asked in a dignified tone, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Ji Tianxing? Did something happen? "
Su Chen was very nervous. He hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to say, "Father, I'm here to admit my mistake and be punished. I was muddle-headed and fell into Ji Tianxing's trap!"
Holy Emperor Changyun suddenly looked up and asked with a sharp gaze, "What happened?"
Su Chen lowered his head in shame and reported truthfully, "Just now, I was playing chess with Ji Tianxing in the courtyard and he proposed to make a bet with me …"
After hearing the story, Holy Emperor Changyun's expression changed. He frowned and scolded in a deep voice, "Muddle-Headed! Son, how could you be so stupid!
I've already warned you. Although Ji Tianxing is arrogant, he's still the number one prodigy. His strength and tricks are extraordinary!
You were too confident in your chess skills. That's why you agreed to his bet. In the end, you fell into his trap and were played by him!
