Chapter 28 Watching the chess game in silence (Part 2) It’s okay for him not to take the medicine…

(Twenty-eight)

His eyes followed her back, not leaving her even an inch.

Chen Changyi recalled how Shang Lu had been teaching her sword yesterday. After only a few swings, she started complaining and asked him to massage her legs and shoulders. Her posture was wrong, and she couldn't change it after repeated corrections. In the end, she simply used him as a pillar, leaning on him and cursing weakly.

"If you don't say that again, I'll chop you down with my next sword."

It was clearly a threat, but he always felt that there was some other meaning in the words, like a coquettish attitude.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he quickly discarded it.

Shanglu doesn't act like a spoiled brat. If you accuse her of doing so, she'll get angry.

Over the years, he has taught many people swordsmanship, but he has never thought of teaching Shanglu swordsmanship.

Shang Lu used to hate practicing sword, but now he takes the initiative to ask to learn.

Yes or no……

Is she starting to change a little too?

Of course, they will get better and better.

"Chang Yi, are you still watching?"

Hearing this, Shen Changyi withdrew his thoughts and turned his head to look at Du Heng Shangjun beside him. He said softly, "Thank you Shangjun. The method you taught me is very useful."

Du Heng Shangjun stroked his beard and said with great joy, "Let me tell you, has she completely changed her mind about you now?"

Change?

It seems like there is, and it also seems like there isn’t.

Shen Changyi pondered for a moment and decisively gave up thinking.

He couldn't understand Shang Lu's thoughts.

"After the trial is over, I would like to meet her." Shangjun said with a smile, "Can you introduce her to me?"

Shen Changyi opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Cui Buxiao, the formation master beside him, came over and asked curiously, "Who are you talking about, Lord?"

Shangjun said mysteriously, "Of course it's Changyi's wife, you don't know her?"

Cui Buxiao looked at Shen Changyi in surprise and murmured, "Master Sword Immortal actually has a wife. I didn't know about this."

He has been wandering around the world of fighting demons for many years and is not very familiar with the affairs of the world of immortal cultivation. He still can't even remember the names of these sects.

"However, Master Sword Immortal is indeed still young. It is time for him to get married and have children. Do you have any children?" Cui Buxiao asked with concern.

Shen Changyi lowered his eyes and shook his head.

As for the matter of having a child, it was probably too early, so he didn't force it. He made a monthly rule with Shang Lu just to take the opportunity to get closer to her.

If he really had a child, he would be at a loss as to what to do.

Even the identity of her husband has not been recognized by Shang Lu, and the identity of her father is probably even more difficult to prove.

Cui Buxiao nodded in understanding, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Shen Changyi, "I happen to have a famous medical prescription here. If Master Jianxian and your wife want to have a child, you may want to try it."

Hearing this, Shen Changyi hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it.

Medicine is three-quarters poison, he would not give it to Shanglu. But it would be bad not to accept the kindness of others.

Cui Buxiao was very happy to see him accept it, and whispered, "Oh, by the way, this prescription is for you."

Shen Changyi's face flushed slightly, and he said shyly, "Thank you."

He can do it.

You don’t need to take medicine.

Beside Shangjun, Qiu Hanyu cast a cautious glance at Chen Changyi, her eyes falling on the red mark on his neck. Her eyes gradually dimmed and she looked away.

Looks very happy.

Just be happy.

After the sword-fighting trial ended, Li Shanglu claimed to be ill and did not participate, but stood on the stage and watched for a long time.

During this time, Helan Jin met Xie Du once, and the two finally decided who was better in a sword-fighting competition. Helan Jin, with his mortal body, was no match for Xie Du and was defeated after several rounds.

Qiu Hanyu and Shen Changyi gave the disciples some instructions. The disciples who received the instructions were ecstatic and saluted them excitedly.

Li Shanglu supported his chin, cracked some melon seeds, and stared at the two of them.

Both of them like to wear snow-white clothes, standing out from the crowd like a crane among chickens. Moreover, they are both sword practitioners with extremely high cultivation levels, so they should have a lot of common topics.

It seems that they are really a perfect match, one looks like a god and the other looks like a fairy. No wonder Elder Teng thought that Shen Changyi's wife would be someone like Qiu Hanyu.

She had never worn white clothes, and her wardrobe was full of colorful clothes. Even if she wore white like Qiu Hanyu, she probably wouldn't look like a fairy.

I heard that people who practice Taoism will live a long time and age slowly, just like that Lord Duheng. Li Shanglu only found out today that Lord Duheng has lived for more than 700 years.

That is already one of the strongest beings here. Shen Changyi will only be stronger than him, definitely not worse.

Moreover, he is only twenty-three this year, and Li Shanglu is twenty-one.

In thirty years, Shen Changyi would probably still look like this, and wrinkles would probably have started to appear on her face.

In a few decades, Shen Changyi might have returned to heaven to become an immortal, immortal and free from the suffering of reincarnation. He was originally a true immortal who came to the earth, so it was reasonable for him to return to heaven.

And she...maybe she has already been buried in a small grave, next to the small graves of their parents.

Li Shanglu suddenly couldn't eat anymore, and couldn't taste anything in his mouth, so he casually stuffed the melon seeds to the young disciple beside him.

She doesn't want to get old, so she might as well die at 30. Then she can see her parents earlier, which is a good thing.

On the way back to the inn, Li Shanglu was stopped by two smiling little Taoist boys.

They are called little Taoist boys because their dress and appearance do not look like monks at all. Instead, they look like two little Taoist boys carved out of ancient paintings.

"Greetings, Madam Sword Immortal. Lord Du Heng invites you."

The little Taoist boys bowed deeply and led her to the palace where the Lord was temporarily staying in Taiyin Mountain.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the screen being slowly opened by children on both sides, and there were two people playing chess inside.

The immortal-looking Lord Duheng played the black chess piece, and the person sitting opposite him was none other than Shen Changyi.

Seeing her coming, Shen Changyi immediately stood up and walked to her side.

"Sir, the Sword Fairy's wife is here." The little boy reminded in a low voice.

Hearing this, Lord Du Heng finally took his eyes off the chessboard and walked up to Li Shanglu, saying cheerfully, "Shanglu, we finally meet. I've heard of your great name for a long time."

Shen Changyi whispered, "Shang Lu, this is the Lord who treated my illness when I was young."

Hearing his words, Li Shanglu was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "That old immortal, is it you?"

She had heard from her parents that Shen Changyi's illness had been difficult to cure for a long time. At that time, the Shen family had almost gone bankrupt buying medicine and seeking medical treatment. Finally, he received the kindness of an old immortal in a fairy mountain, who taught him the method of cultivation. Gradually, he recovered his health through cultivation.

Lord Duheng laughed heartily, not caring at all about her rude words. "Yes, it is me."

He asked the boy to take Li Shanglu to a seat and serve tea, then sat down in front of the chessboard. "Shanglu, I have to finish playing chess before I can talk to you. I'm really itching to finish this game. Please ask your husband to come and finish the game with me."

Shen Changyi looked at Li Shanglu, who was still digesting the identity of Lord Duheng. He said casually, "Go."

Only then did he sit back down in front of the chessboard and play chess with Shangjun.

Li Shanglu held the teacup and took a sip.

She didn't expect that Shen Changyi could play chess with Du Heng Shangjun. She clearly remembered that he was not good at chess when he was young.

It seems that they have known each other for a long time and are very familiar with each other. Lord Duheng looks more like an immortal than Shen Changyi. Can he tell fortunes?

If he could, would he have predicted that she was Shen Changyi's love calamity?

Li Shanglu's mind was wandering. He pondered for a long time, then his eyes fell on the chessboard, and the corner of his mouth twitched suddenly.

"Why go there? Aren't you looking for death?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell silent.

The little boy whispered, "Madam Sword Immortal, watching chess in silence..."

Li Shanglu pointed at the chessboard and said in disbelief, "But his moves are really terrible."

Shangjun waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay. Why does Miss Shanglu think Changyi's chess move is not good?"

Hearing this, Li Shanglu was even more confused. "I mean, you..."

Shen Changyi coughed lightly, as if trying to signal something to her with his eyes.

But Li Shanglu didn't notice at all. She leaned forward and tapped the chessboard with her fingertips. "If you play this move, he can immediately intercept you from behind. You will definitely die within five steps. It's full of loopholes..."

After a pause, Li Shanglu suddenly reacted and turned his head to look at Shen Changyi.

She said that Shen Changyi was very bad at playing chess, and how strong could anyone be who could play against him?

This Lord Duheng is a terrible chess player.

It took her a long time to realize that the sage-like Lord in front of her, who loved chess, had no idea that he was so bad at chess. Could it be that no one had ever pointed this out to her?

"How could that be?" Shangjun frowned in thought, then hesitantly picked up the chess piece and put it down somewhere else. He looked up at Li Shanglu and asked, "Why put it here?"

Li Shanglu: "...Get up, I'll teach you."

Shangjun was stunned for a moment. It was the first time in his hundreds of years of life that someone wanted to teach him something. He took a long time to react, then stood up and gave up his seat to Li Shanglu.

Picking up the black chess piece, Li Shanglu thought for a moment before making his move.

The two men played chess back and forth, and Shangjun and the children stared at them intently.

"Am I bad at chess?"

The little boy coughed dryly and said tactfully, "Shangjun has won occasionally."

Shangjun pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, crossed his arms and watched Li Shanglu's every move carefully.

Slowly, the black chess piece turned around and began to make rapid progress.

Shen Changyi looked up at her and slightly suppressed the smile on his lips.

It's been a long time since we played chess together.

I have played it a few times in school before, but Shanglu always found it boring and gave up halfway through.

Shangjun didn't dare to breathe, and watched the chess game quietly, looking up at Li Shanglu from time to time.

It is true that he plays chess better than him, but his style of play is too murderous. It seems that every move he makes is aimed at forcing his opponent into a desperate situation. Even when he does not have the upper hand, he will still bite off a piece of flesh from his opponent viciously.

Such people can easily win, but also easily lose.

Shangjun looked at her solemnly, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

After the game, Li Shanglu won as expected. Shen Changyi's chess pieces were defeated one after another and many of them were eaten.

"You still want to fight me? Practice for another eight hundred years." Li Shanglu was in a good mood. It had been a long time since he had played chess seriously like today, and he even beat Shen Changyi. How could he not be happy?

Seeing her happy, Shen Changyi also felt happy and wanted to say something in agreement, "Shang Lu has always been amazing."

Somehow, her mind suddenly remembered the last time he praised Shang Lu for his alchemy skills, and she suddenly lost interest. So when the words came to her lips, Shen Changyi swallowed them back and whispered, "I will win next time."

So, let’s play with him next time.

Li Shanglu glanced at him and seemed to be in a better mood. "You won't be able to win next time. Your level is only comparable to that of Shangjun Xia."

Lord: ...

Hey, kids always speak directly.

"Chang Yi, I want to talk to Shang Lu about the art of playing chess. Can you please get me some of my precious tea?"

Shen Changyi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Shanglu, who nodded nonchalantly and let him go.

He hesitated for a moment, and before leaving, he sent a heartbeat to Shangjun.

"Chang Yi begs His Majesty not to tell Shang Lu about the love disaster."

"She is not my love, she is just my wife."
