Yujing City was extremely prosperous, and the most prosperous place in Yujing City was none other than Qingyu Tower.
Jinghua Mountain had the strongest cultivators, Yujing House had the strongest alcohol, and Qingyu Tower had the most beautiful women.
Among the three, Jinghua Mountain was where the Chess Saint cultivated, so it was naturally not too crowded. Yujing House was the City Lord's Office, so only the guests invited by the City Lord were allowed to drink. Only Qingyu Tower had no restrictions, so it had the most people.
Qingyu Tower was not a real tower, but a pleasure boat. It was exquisite and elegant like a loft, floating by the Jade Lake.
To Ye Futian, the most beautiful woman was undoubtedly the most attractive. That was why he appeared at the edge of the Jade Lake and sat at the very front, close to the pleasure boat. At that moment, on the boat, there was a beautiful woman playing the guqin and dancing. Her graceful movements were moving, and the sound of the guqin was also captivating.
"Do you like it?" Beside Ye Futian, Hua Jieyu wore a veil and asked with a smile. It was not just Hua Jieyu. The women beside Ye Futian also covered their faces with veils. Otherwise, it would have caused a commotion if such a group of women appeared at the same time.
"Yes, it's beautiful." Ye Futian nodded, then looked at Hua Jieyu and said, "Of course, it can't be compared to my wife."
"I think their dances are even more beautiful. Even as a woman, my heart beats faster." Hua Jieyu looked at Ye Futian with a smile.
"Indeed." Ye Futian nodded.
Hua Jieyu moved closer to Ye Futian's ear and whispered, "Do you want me to dance for you?"
Ye Futian blinked, feeling a little tempted. He remembered that when Hua Jieyu was young, she had once danced the city. Was there such a good thing now?
"Tonight," Ye Futian replied softly.
"Yes, sure." Hua Jieyu smiled and nodded. Ye Futian looked at her. Why did he not believe her?
"Jieyu, why do I feel like he's here to look at beauties?" Zhuge Mingyue sat on the other side of Hua Jieyu. She smiled at Ye Futian, then pinched Gu Dongliu beside her and said, "Brothers, you guys seem to be enjoying it."
"Beautiful as a skeleton," Gu Dongliu said seriously. Zhuge Mingyue smiled and looked at him. Ye Futian also looked at his Third Brother with a solemn expression. His Third Brother was indeed his Third Brother. His plane was far higher than his.
At this moment, a commotion could be heard from the crowd. After that, the curtains of the pleasure boat were pulled open, and another group of women appeared. The woman in the middle was dressed in light clothing, and her entire body seemed to be boneless. She raised her head and looked at the crowd. Her watery eyes seemed to be able to melt people, and her beauty was unparalleled.
"Fairy Hanyu." Many voices rang out. This woman was none other than the most beautiful woman in the Greencloud Pavilion, Fairy Hanyu.
Many people claimed that her appearance was not inferior to the number one beauty of Jade Capital City, but because of her lowly status, she could not be compared to the wife of the City Lord and the disciple of the Saint.
"It's indeed a captivating beauty." Goddess Hanyu's fingers were as smooth as jade. She plucked the strings of the guqin, and a beautiful melody spread out. Smoke filled the air, and beauties danced, adding to the dreamy beauty of the scene.
"She's beautiful, and so is the zither." Ye Futian commented. Zhuge Mingyue looked at Ye Futian with a smile and said softly, "You're really different after marriage."
"Yes." Hua Jieyu nodded in agreement.
After the song ended, Goddess Hanyu bowed slightly to the crowd. Suddenly, the crowd was excited, and many people said, "Reward."
Suddenly, countless spiritual stones, ritual implements, and treasures were sent to the pleasure boat.
"The Ninth Young Master will reward you with a Sage ritual implement," a woman's voice was heard. At this moment, the voice of a woman rang out. Instantly, the gazes of the crowd turned to the foremost position of the boat. There, an elegant young man was quietly sitting there, admiring the beauty of Fairy Hanyu.
"The Ninth Young Master is indeed generous," many people said with a smile.
"The Ninth Young Master comes every day and becomes a guest. Today will be no exception," someone else said. The person who was given the most valuable reward could become a guest and enter the pleasure boat to share a room with Goddess Hanyu.
Although Goddess Hanyu was extremely beautiful, the more powerful one's cultivation, the more extraordinary their temperament was. Even if they loved beauty, they would not be infatuated with women. For them, cultivation came first, and some people of status also cared about their reputation. As such, a Sage ritual implement as a reward was definitely very rare.
"Uncle-Master, reward a mid-grade ritual implement," Ye Futian turned around and said. There was only one person he called "Uncle-Master" — Sage Wanxiang.
"This …" Sage Wanxiang looked at Ye Futian in shock. Asking him, the highly respected Palace Lord of Wanxiang Pavilion, to reward a woman of beauty?
This Palace Lord sure is willful.
Ye Futian looked at Sage Wanxiang with a smile. Sage Wanxiang was probably the wealthiest person here. Who else would he get if not from?
Seeing Ye Futian's smile, Sage Wanxiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He took out a ritual implement from his ring and handed it over. The woman who received the ritual implement was a little surprised. She looked at it carefully and asked, "Who gave it to you?"
"My Young Master Ye," Sage Wanxiang said. The woman nodded and stood up. She said to Ye Futian, "Mr. Ye gave me a mid-grade Sage ritual implement."
In an instant, all eyes fell on Ye Futian. Giving a mid-grade Sage ritual implement? Who was this guy?
Was he another person like Jiu Gongzi?
Many people guessed Ye Futian's identity. Now that so many people from the outside had come to Yujing City, could it be that they were from the outside?
However, among the outstanding people who came, there did not seem to be a single Mr. Ye.
After a while, the woman in the boat smiled at Ye Futian and said, "Mr. Ye can enter the boat later."
Goddess Hanyu also looked at Ye Futian and nodded slightly. She was a little curious about who Ye Futian was.
"Listening to my soulmate and seeing your face is enough," Ye Futian said with a smile. "As for entering the curtain, there is no need. Thank you for your kindness, Goddess, but let Jiu Gongzi have it."
Many people were even more surprised. This person gave a mid-grade Sage ritual implement, but did not want to become a guest.
Goddess Hanyu's eyes were filled with curiosity. While she understood that cultivators had strong willpower, since they had come here and met her, almost no one could refuse her invitation.
"Alright." The woman did not say much and nodded with a smile.
Jiu Gongzi looked at Ye Futian and saw that there were many women around Ye Futian. He then smiled and said, "You also love beauties, sir?"
"Who doesn't love beauties?" Ye Futian said, "If I say I don't love beauties, I would be lying."
"Interesting." Jiu Gongzi smiled and said, "Are you here because of what happened at Jinghua Mountain?"
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. Jiu Gongzi was naturally the ninth disciple of the Chess Saint of Jinghua Mountain. He was ranked last and was the most frivolous person.
"There are nine of us. Why did you come to me?" Jiu Gongzi smiled and said.
"Because you are the most interesting," Ye Futian said with a smile. Since he wanted to try his luck, he naturally had to find out more. To obtain the chessboard of the Chess Saint's lineage, he first needed to be recognized by any disciple of the Chess Saint before he could enter Chess Saint Villa.
And what he found out was that the ninth disciple of the Chess Saint would come to Qingyu House every day.
"While it sounds fake, I like it." Jiu Gongzi smiled and said, "Do you know how to play chess?"
Ye Futian revealed a strange expression and then nodded. "I think I do."
Playing chess was such a simple thing. There should be no one who did not know how to play, right?
Of course, knowing and mastering were two different things.
"Let's give it a try." Jiu Gongzi smiled and then waved his hand. Suddenly, a table and a chessboard appeared between the two of them. He waved his hand and Ye Futian reached out and caught the black piece. Jiu Gongzi then placed a piece on the chessboard.
Many people came over. They did not expect the disciple of the Chess Saint to play chess with someone else. It was interesting.
Ye Futian also placed a piece. Jiu Gongzi's eyes flashed and revealed a strange expression. He did not understand where Ye Futian had placed his piece.
Could it be a new way to play?
In all the ways of chess, no one had ever placed their first piece like this.
Jiu Gongzi continued to place his piece. The two of them went back and forth. Soon, the faces of the Sword Saint and Gu Dongliu behind Ye Futian darkened.
"You really know how to play chess?" Xu Que asked weakly, seeing that Ye Futian's pieces were surrounded and killed.
"Of course. Who else would be playing now?" Ye Futian glared at Xu Que. Placing a piece was so simple. Who would not know how to do it?
Everyone around looked at Ye Futian in shock. They had thought that it would be a battle between experts. They never expected …
Wanxiang regretted coming here. This guy was normal in the Holy Zhi Palace, but he had no bottom line after coming out.
He wondered if he had misjudged him.
Soon, Ye Futian was completely defeated on the chessboard. It was a miserable defeat.
"Brother Ye, you're amazing," Jiu Gongzi said to Ye Futian. It was the first time he had seen such a "powerful" opponent.
"Jiu Gongzi's chess skills are superb. I'm still a little behind," Ye Futian said.
Cough, cough … Someone beside him choked. One needed to be skilled to play chess with him?
The people around Ye Futian wanted to leave, not wanting to know him.
"Let's go," Jiu Gongzi stood up and said.
Ye Futian was stunned. Jiu Gongzi lowered his head and smiled. "You're not here for Jinghua Mountain?"
"Alright." Ye Futian got up and set off. He had achieved his goal. The ninth disciple of the Chess Saint was as ridiculous and interesting as the rumors said.
Jinghua Mountain was adjacent to the City Lord Office, and Yujing House was built on the mountain. Chess Saint Villa was on the mountain, and Yujing House was at the foot.
To get to Jinghua Mountain, one had to pass through Yujing House.
Now, many outstanding figures from all over the Eastern State had arrived at Yujing House.
Ye Futian and the others had entered Yujing House.
"I don't think you stand a chance." Jiu Gongzi smiled gently and said to Ye Futian, "Of course, you're the only ones to get to Chess Saint Villa through me. So, I support you."
Ye Futian did not even know how to play chess, so there was no way he would stand a chance.
It was worth noting that there were some extremely famous figures in the Eastern State in that house.
For example, Han Jing was a very frightening Spirit Elemental cultivator with unique abilities. His mental calculation ability was astonishing, and he was skilled in matrices. Many elders had lost to him in chess.
