After I lost my job, the country urged me to travel every day

Chapter 351 A simple request

"Hahaha!" After seeing Zhong Tai nervously put down a chess piece, Qing Fengzi couldn't help but burst out laughing with pride in his heart!

"Brother Zhong! Once you make this move, you have already lost the game. No medicine can help you anymore!!"

"What!" Zhong Tai became anxious instantly and stretched out his big hand to pick up the chess piece again, but Qing Fengzi slapped him on the back of his hand!

"Snapped!"

"Don't regret your move! Brother Zhong, are you going to do something as tasteless as regretting your move?"

Zhong Tai slammed his fist on the stone table, causing the teacup on it to jump. "Old man! You set this up on purpose!"

Qing Fengzi picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard, instantly eating up half of Zhong Tai's territory. Then he looked at the somewhat exasperated Zhong Tai and smiled smugly, "All's fair in war! Brother Zhong, it's your turn!"

Zhong Tai's face turned red and blue, and his big hands squeezed the black chess piece so hard that it made a creaking sound. He stretched out his hand several times but then retracted it, looking undecided.

Finally, under Qing Fengzi's repeated urging, Zhong Tai reached out his trembling hand to the chessboard again.

At this moment, Chen Yingjie, who had been standing quietly behind Zhong Tai, suddenly took a half step forward and bent down to pick up the teapot on the table, but his elbow seemed to accidentally hit Zhong Tai's hand.

"Clap!"

The black chess piece landed on the three squares next to the position that Zhong Tai favored, which was surrounded by white chess pieces. It looked like a useless move!

"You!" Zhong Tai suddenly raised his head and stared at Chen Yingjie, his whole face flushed red like Guan Gong, obviously he was extremely angry.

Chen Yingjie ignored his angry expression and just respectfully picked up the teapot in his hand to refill Zhong Tai's cup with tea. Then he praised sincerely, "Senior, this move is really brilliant! Giving up one piece to change the overall situation is a stroke of genius! I admire you!"

Zhong Tai was stunned. He turned his head and carefully looked at the chessboard with more white than black again. Suddenly, his eyes lit up!

"Old man, hurry up and make your move!"

Qing Fengzi on the opposite side let out a light "eh", stared at the chessboard with a frown, and held the white piece in his hand for a long time without being able to make a move. There was no trace of the smug look he had just had.

"Don't panic! Let me think about it..."

The anger on Zhong Tai's face disappeared immediately. He turned his head and looked at Chen Yingjie meaningfully. Then he turned back and looked at Qing Fengzi complacently.

Half a minute later, Qing Fengzi casually threw the last white piece in his hand into the chessboard and announced with a sullen face, "Draw!"

“Hahahaha!” Zhong Tai stood up, his laughter deafening. “It’s been three hundred years! I lose every time! Finally there’s a round I didn’t lose! It feels so good! It feels so good!”

Qing Fengzi waved his hand and took away all the chess pieces on the table. He rolled his eyes at Zhong Tai and said, "It's just a draw. You didn't win. What's the big deal?"

"Of course! Of course!" Zhong Tai's eyes widened. "That means those rare chess games I've studied for the past fifty years are still useful! Give me another fifty years, and I'll definitely beat you!"

Qing Fengzi murmured in a low voice, "Tsk! It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse! You were clearly in a desperate situation just now! If not for..."

Zhong Tai crossed his arms, raised his head slightly, and sneered, "If it weren't for something..."

Qing Fengzi curled his lips, "Forget it! I won't talk to you about these useless things. Come on! Let me introduce someone to you! This is my disciple's sworn brother. This kid has the rare gold and water spiritual roots. I remember that more than a hundred years ago, you clamored to accept a disciple to help you. See if this kid is suitable!"

After saying that, Qing Fengzi motioned Chen Yingjie to come forward.

The smile on Zhong Tai's face faded slightly, and his sharp eyes like swords shot directly at the man standing with his hands behind his back, releasing layers of pressure.

Just as Chen Yingjie was about to salute, he felt as if his whole body was being pressed down by a mountain. He couldn't even speak, let alone raise his hand.

As the pressure from Zhong Tai increased, Chen Yingjie's face turned pale, beads of sweat flowed down his temples, and veins bulged on his slender neck.

Chen Yingjie was shaking all over, and he felt as if there was a huge hand pressing him down, trying to make him kneel down!

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhong Tai's eyes. He had never expected that a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator could withstand his pressure. Even though he was shaky, he still stubbornly straightened his back...

"Interesting!" Zhong Tai curled the corners of his lips slightly and removed his pressure.

Chen Yingjie felt his whole body relax, and then he heard Zhong Tai say:

"You are a stubborn kid, just like me! You are also a little smart, but if you want to be my disciple, this alone is not enough!"

Chen Yingjie's heart sank, knowing that he had just gotten through by luck. Now it was finally time for the main event. He quickly controlled his sore body and bowed, saying loudly, "Thank you, Senior Qing Fengzi, for your kindness and for giving me this opportunity. No matter what the test is for you to accept as a disciple, I will try my best!"

"Oh! Really!" Zhong Tai's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, "Okay! Then I'll give you a test! You will represent me and play another game of chess with Qing Fengzi! If you win this game, I'll consider taking you as my apprentice!"

Chen Yingjie was stunned. Win a game of chess?

Such a simple request?!

While watching the game just now, he saw clearly the chess skills of these two senior practitioners.

Zhong Tai plays chess with great vigor and vitality. Qing Fengzi is slightly better in rank and a little more cautious in character. He always manages to set some simple traps for Zhong Tai to fall into without noticing.

But in his opinion, they were just beginners, and their skills were about the same! It was easy for him to beat these two people!

After all, it is well known that those who play strategy have dirty hearts! He is the uncrowned king of Go in the army!

Seeing Chen Yingjie's relaxed and confident look, Zhong Tai's eyes darkened a little, "Oh, right, I just made a bet with that old fellow Qing Fengzi. If I lose, I will give him the Soul Gathering Array Plate that I just made. If he loses, he will go to my Refining Pavilion and work as a cook for me for a year!"

Zhong Tai patted Chen Yingjie on the shoulder and encouraged him expectantly, "Boy! You just heard it. I have been playing chess with this old man for three hundred years, and I have been bullied for three hundred years! If you really want to be my apprentice, then win a game against him! Give me some face!"

Chen Yingjie only felt his shoulders sink, and his heart sank with them.

Qing Fengzi on the opposite side smiled and twirled his beard, then waved his hand and took out the chessboard.

"It seems that Brother Zhong has great confidence in this kid! Then let's not talk too much and just fight on the chessboard to see the outcome!"

He pointed to the two flag boxes on the table and looked at Chen Yingjie.

"Come on, kid Chen! Whether you and Brother Zhong have a destiny as a master and disciple depends on this game!"
