Yeh Luo sat in the Xu family's living room and waited for a while. Not long after, the bodyguard brought Gao Xiang in.
Gao Xiang's face was swollen and bruised. It looked like he had been beaten.
"Master." Gao Xiang originally thought that the bodyguards brought him here to punish him, but when he saw Ye Luo sitting in the living room, Gao Xiang became excited and ran over to shout.
Yeh Luo glanced at Gao Xiang. Seeing the bruises on his face, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Fengyuan seemed to have read Ye Luo's mind. Afraid that Ye Luo would be angry, she quickly stood up and explained, "Xiao Ye, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you had accepted him as your disciple, so I asked the bodyguards to teach him a lesson."
"It's alright, Aunty. People like him deserve to suffer a little," Yeh Luo replied with a smile.
Yeh Luo gestured to Gao Xiang.
Glancing at him, Yeh Luo said, "Gao Xiang, shouldn't you thank Madam Li for sparing your life?"
Gao Xiang finally understood what was going on. Yeh Luo had brought him back.
Touched, Gao Xiang walked to Li Fengyuan and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Li. Thank you for not killing me."
Li Fengyuan exhaled softly and said, "Gao Xiang, if it wasn't for Yeh Luo, I would have made you suffer a little. But now that you've become Yeh Luo's disciple, I'll let bygones be bygones. I hope you'll learn from Yeh Luo and stop swindling people everywhere. "
"Thank you for your reminder, Mrs. Li. I understand," Gao Xiang replied.
Li Fengyuan nodded and gestured to Yeh Luo. "Xiao Ye, come with me to the backyard. My dad is playing chess with someone in the backyard."
Yeh Luo stood up and said, "Madam Li, please."
Li Fengyuan smiled and went straight into the hall through the back door, heading for the backyard.
Yeh Luo followed, but before he caught up with Li Fengyuan, he glared at Gao Xiang.
"Master, what's wrong?" Gao Xiang asked awkwardly.
"Master will deal with you when we get back. Now, come with me," Ye Luo said.
Gao Xiang pursed his lips and chased after Li Fengyuan with Ye Luo.
The backyard of the Xu family was very big. There were many flowers and plants in the yard, and a large group of puppies and kittens, as well as some strange birds. A group of lively and cute little animals shuttled back and forth among the flowers and plants, and birds chirped non-stop on the branches. The yard was like a zoo.
It was clear that the old master of the Xu family had such interests.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought that Master Dongfang was such a sentimental person." Yeh Luo sighed as he looked at the decorations in the courtyard.
Li Fengyuan nodded with a smile and explained, "My dad usually likes small animals. Most of the small animals here were adopted by him from the animal protection society's relief station. There are also some stray dogs and stray cats. My dad also set up a small animal relief foundation in Binjiang District. He is the president."
"Not bad." Yeh Luo nodded approvingly.
Li Fengyuan nodded and walked towards the villa with Ye Luo.
There was a villa in the middle of the courtyard. The villa was built in a small man-made forest, surrounded by some rare trees that had been transplanted. They surrounded the entire villa, and it was quite an interesting sight.
At that moment, in the pavilion outside the villa, Xu Quanyou was sitting next to a chessboard, playing chess with a young man.
The young man looked to be about 26 years old and was rather handsome. He had a head of short, black hair and looked especially energetic.
"Little Duan, this move of yours is very interesting. With this, my path is sealed. I didn't expect your chess skills to improve so much after not seeing you for a few years. I've lost this round." Xu Quanyou looked at the situation on the chessboard and said to the young man, ashamed of his own inferiority.
The young man smiled at Xu Quanyou respectfully and replied, "Master Xu, you were the one who went easy on me."
"I'm old," Xu Quanyou replied with a smile.
Xu Quanyou planned to put away the chess pieces and start the second game.
However, just as Xu Quanyou was about to put away the chess pieces on the chessboard, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear. "Old Master, why don't you try to advance by retreating and attack by defending? If Black advances five moves, moves three positions, and retreats five pieces, Old Master will definitely win this game. "
This unexpected voice startled Xu Quanyou slightly.
He immediately turned his head and saw a smiling young man standing beside him. Beside him were his daughter-in-law, Li Fengyuan, and Gao Xiang, who had almost killed him.
However, Xu Quanyou's curiosity was piqued by Yeh Luo. He hurriedly asked, "Little brother, how do you move this game?"
"Black advances five moves, moves three positions, and retreats five pieces, the game is complete. The death chess pieces can be changed into a formation. The white chess pieces are surrounded on all sides and can only sacrifice themselves in three ways. However, the game is already set, "Yeh Luo replied.
Xu Quanyou was taken aback and immediately followed Yeh Luo's instructions.
With this move, the situation on the chessboard changed completely for a moment.
Initially, Xu Quanyou's death chess pieces seemed to have formed a formation. This formation could not be avoided and one could only step into it.
However, when this chess piece was placed, the young man was instantly stunned. The white chess pieces had nowhere to go and could only jump into the formation of the black chess pieces. Following that, Xu Quanyou immediately moved three positions. His path of survival was sealed. At this moment, the originally death chess pieces had instantly turned defeat into victory.
"Brilliant! Brilliant! Truly brilliant. My chess skills might not be superb, but I've been playing for decades. Who would've thought that today's death move could turn defeat into victory with just three moves? Why didn't I think of that? "Xu Quanyou said excitedly as he watched the situation change on the chessboard.
"Old Master, you seem to be in good health. Have you been acting strangely these past two days?" Yeh Luo asked.
"Little brother, you are?" Xu Quanyou looked at Yeh Luo and asked.
Li Fengyuan smiled and said, "Father, he is Yeh Luo, the one who pulled you back from the gates of hell. He is Lanlan's friend. I specially invited him over today to examine your body."
"You are Yeh Luo? Heroes indeed come from the young. You are so young and yet so promising. Quick, take a seat, "Xu Quanyou hurriedly said as he stood up.
Yeh Luo smiled at Xu Quanyou.
He declined Xu Quanyou's kind intentions and said, "Old Master, there is no need to be so polite. I can see that you look well and have recovered well. In the future, Old Master will have to calm down. Playing chess and admiring the flowers is a good choice. Since Old Master's body is fine, Little Ye will take his leave. "
"Wait, why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Quanyou hurriedly called out to Yeh Luo.
Xu Quanyou said, "Little Ye, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You are my savior. No matter what, you have to stay for a meal before leaving. Fengyuan, quickly prepare the meal. I will have a good drink with Little Ye today. "
"Father, I will prepare the meal immediately. But you can't drink wine, right?" Li Fengyuan said.
"It's fine. Little Duan is here today. Let Little Duan accompany Little Ye for a drink. Come, Little Ye, sit down and play a few rounds with Little Duan. Let me see how good your chess skills are. "Xu Quanyou pulled Yeh Luo to sit by the chessboard.
Yeh Luo had no interest in having a meal with the Xu family. Besides, he had other things to do today.
Thus, Yeh Luo said, "Old Master, I really can't stay today. I have something to do. How about another day? I will come and see you another day. I have to leave now."
"Little Ye, eat before you leave," Li Fengyuan advised.
"Yes, Little Ye, eat before you leave," Xu Quanyou also said.
Yeh Luo smiled and replied, "I really have something to do."
Is that so?
Xu Quanyou was slightly injured and wanted to spar with Yeh Luo. Since that was the case, Xu Quanyou did not force him to stay. He took out a card and handed it to Yeh Luo. "Alright, since you have things to do, go do them. Take this with you. It will be of help to you in the future. Remember, if you need anything, you can come find me at the Xu family anytime. Since you are Lanlan's friend, you will be an honored guest of the Xu family from now on. "
"Thank you, Old Master. I will leave now. See you again." Yeh Luo nodded. Then, he said to Gao Xiang, "Let's go, Gao Xiang."
