Ye Zhen followed the doorman to a smallke in the backyard. Xu Lao was sitting on the bench inside the waterside pavilion. On the stone table was a white jade chessboard. The ck and white pieces on the table was a mess.
His eyes glued on the chessboard before him, he seemed extremely dangerous and intimidating.
In addition to Xu Lao, there was no one else in the waterside pavilion. The guest he said just now was just an excuse.
Xu Lao looked up at the three of them, and finally, his eyes rested on Ye Zhen’s face. Almost instantly, his eyes shed with surprise, wondering to himself if his memory was still serving him right.
This little girl ... she looks so familiar. Have I seen her anywhere?
Ye Zhen bowed gracefully, “This little miss greets Mister Xu.”
Xu Lao recovered and looked sharply at Ye Zhen. “Whose daughter are you?”
“The father of the little girl is Lu ...” Ye Zhen hesitated for a moment—she almost said that her father was Ye Yiqing.
“Who is Lu Lingzhi?” Suddenly Xu interrupted Ye Zhen, and his voice cooled down.
Ye Zhen looked back at Lu Lingzhi.
“Here is her cousin, Mister Xu.” Lu Lingzhi gave Xu Lao a salute.
Old Mister Xu waved his hand, closed his eyes and said, “Lord Lu, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.” His voice was full of mockery.
“What’s so important that my distinguished guests came at my door?” he finished with an air of indifference.
Lu Lingzhi knew at once that the old man did not particrly like him. Still, he wore a gentle smile on his face. “I’ve heard a lot about Mister Xu, and today I specially brought my younger cousins to visit.”
He was yet to say a word about Lu Xiangzhi desiring to be Xu Lao’s student. If he did so, the old man would drive them out of his door.
Old Mister Xu sneered. “My home is small. Lord Lu should invite me to his home the next time and avoid barging at my door.”
With that, Lu Lingzhi had enough. He turned to walk away, urging his cousins to do the same. But, he stopped in his tracks upon hearing Ye Zhen’s delicate voice.
“You can’t just drive us away. I’m here to break your chess game.”
“Aren’t you his sister? Now that he’s leaving, why are you still here? The ruthless and unrighteous also deserve to y chess with me now?” Xu Lao snorted with disgust.
Ye Zhenughed and said, “I haven’t finished yet. They will leave as you wish but I will y chess with you. If I win, you will ept my brother as a student. How do you like it?”
Sitting upright on his sit, Xu Lao frowned at Ye Zhen’s brazen words, “Why do you think you can win against this old man?”
“Let’s try it then.” Ye Zhen smiled sweetly and naively. She could ask for Xu Lao for Lu Xiangzhi, but she would definitely not let Lu Lingzhi beat her into coercing the old man.
No, she wouldn’t let him use Xu Lao to gain more power.
“If you tell me what game I am ying, I will y against you.” Xu Lao inquired.
Ye Zhen looked down at the chess game on the table. “Encirclement Game.”
The Encirclement game was deadly. Someone once vomited blood on this game because they could not break the situation. This game was set up by her father, but no one knew.
Xu Lao’s eyes lit up slightly, and he ordered the doorman on none side. “Please go ahead and have tea with two young masters of the Lu family.”
Lu Lingzhi took a look at Ye Zhen. Although there were many doubts in his heart, it was not appropriate to ask her to leave. Therefore, he gave Lu Xiangzhi a wink, and the two left waterside pavilion together.
“Sit down, girl.” Xu Lao ordered.
Ye Zhen sat down opposite Xu Lao and looked up at the old man who had treated her like a granddaughter before. She blinked and gave a small smile.
Seeing her smile, Xu Lao finally remembered whom she looked like. “You look like the daughter of an old friend of mine!”
