Chess master

  Yan Yi no longer paid attention to Qian Yu Xian, turned her head and looked at Nan Gong Xin with ink-like eyes:

  "It's actually the Crown Prince's invitation, Shi Yi will definitely accompany him."

  Nan Gong Xin's face turned even darker. What did this mean? As the crown prince, he had invited Yan Yi to play chess, but was rejected. Yet, when Qian Yu Xian, a young woman and an unfavored daughter of the Wang Fu, simply expressed her desire to watch, Yan Yi agreed. Was Yan Yi implying that the crown prince was not as important to him as this unfavored daughter of the Wang Fu?

  Nan Gong Bo looked at the calm smile on Yan Yi's face and Nan Gong Xin's dark face, and wisely stepped aside.

  Yan Yi walked up and sat down three feet away from Nan Gong Xian, his dark eyes seeming to penetrate Nan Gong Xian's thoughts:

  "The Crown Prince requests."

  Nangong Xun gazed deeply at Yuwen Yue, who was always emitting a noble and elegant aura, and reached out to move a black chess piece on the board.

  Yan Yi stretched out her jade-like hand, and the white sleeve flowed like a cloud in the wind. With a flick of her finger, the white chess piece on the table flew up and landed on the left upper corner of the chessboard.

  Qian Yu Xian helplessly looked at Yan Yi, "What's with the big fuss over just one move?"

  Nangong Yu saw this and picked up a black chess piece, placing it at the lower right corner of the chessboard.

  Qian Yu Xian was puzzled, why did they put their chess pieces at the edges and corners for no reason? Shouldn't they be placed in the middle?

  Yan Yimo's eyes stared straight at the chessboard, her jade hand lifted, and the white piece flew up and landed on the lower left corner of the chessboard.

  Nangong Yu picked up a black chess piece and placed it on the right upper corner of the chessboard.

  The surroundings were quiet, Yan Yi and Nangong Xian were quietly playing chess, Nangong Bo and Qianyu Xian were watching quietly, although Qianyu Xian couldn't understand.

  All he knew was that every time Yan Yi made a move, Nangong Xian would block his advance.

  Nangong Yu picked up the black chess piece and dropped it onto the board, Qianyu Xian couldn't quite understand but knew that Nangong Yu was only one move away from getting five in a row. The four black pieces were lined up together, and Yan Yi didn't dare to make a move on either side, or he would lose.

  Qian Yu Xian suddenly pointed at the chessboard and looked at Yan Yi with urgency:

  "Look quickly!"

  Yan Yi raised his head to look at Qian Yu Xian, who had a worried face. His thin lips slightly curled up, and with a flick of his jade-like fingers, the white chess piece flew out and landed on the board, breaking Nan Gong Yin's formation and allowing Yan Yi to successfully connect five pieces.

  Qian Yu Xian was stunned, staring blankly at the faintly smiling Yan Yi:

  "Master of chess!"

  Yan Yi looked at Nan Gong Xian and smiled lightly, "I wonder if the prince is satisfied?"

  Nan Gong Yi looked up at Xie Yan's gentle smile, his face smiling but not his eyes. "Young Master Xie's chess skills are exceptional, I, the Crown Prince, am inferior to him."

  Nan Gongbo has been quietly watching from the side, and now he is also looking at Yan Yi with a surprised face:

  "Yan Hu Li is indeed Yan Hu Li, even if he didn't get the three-sided corner, he can still win."

  Yan Yi smiled slightly at Nan Gong Bo, "The Ninth Prince is joking, it's just a fluke."

  Qian Yu Xian rolled her eyes at Yan Yi and said, "Why are you being so humble in front of others? Aren't you usually very cunning and merciless with your words?"

  Yan Yimo's eyes looked towards Qian Yu Xian, although he was still smiling lightly, but Qian Yu Xian inexplicably felt a sense of danger.

  Nangong Bo was apparently ignited by the previous game of chess, and he looked at Yan Yi with an excited face:

  "Does the fox spirit want to play chess with me?"

  Qian Yu Xian saw this and also wanted to play, raising her hand high and looking at Nan Gong Bo:

  "I'll accompany you, I'll play with you!"

  Nan Gong Bo was taken aback, turning his head to look at the hand raised by Qian Yu Xian, "You? You can't even remember the rules of Go and you want to play with me? Although my chess skills are not as good as those of Yan Hu Li and Big Brother, I am at least considered a master. You, who can't even remember the name of the game, still want to play with me?"

  Qian Yu Xian lowered his raised hand and looked straight at Nan Gong Bo with his head held high:

  "What? Not allowed? I may have remembered the name wrong, but that doesn't mean I won't play! And besides, Yan Yi has already played a game with Nangong Xun, so he should at least get some rest, or his brain cells will be exhausted."

  Nangong Bo looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant by "brain cells".

  "You actually think you can play like this? Fine, I'll play along with you, but if you lose, don't cry, I hate it when girls cry!"

  Qian Yu Xian pouted, "Do you think I'm one of those weak women? I won't cry! And I don't necessarily have to lose!"
