"Mr. Congbian, I have long admired your name."

From a distance, before he even arrived, Lin Bufan greeted Su Xinghe with a fist and palm salute.

Su Xinghe instinctively clasped his hands in a fist salute, and asked in confusion, "Young hero, you..."

"My name is Lin Bufan."

"Oh, Young Master Lin, you..."

"I've come to participate in the Precious Chess Game."

"You come here..."

Am I too early?

Su Xinghe was interrupted by a series of questions, leaving him frustrated and speechless.

"Yes, the Zhenlong Chess Game will open in three months, but..."

Su Xinghe said, "Since you've come all this way, young hero, I won't mind making an exception for you and seeing if you can solve this puzzle."

After saying that, he led Lin Bufan into the courtyard, behind which was a rockery.

Lin Bufan knew that Wuyazi was hiding inside the artificial hill, waiting for his destined person.

According to the procedure, Lin Bufan needs to finish a game of endgame with Su Xinghe.

Only by defeating Su Xinghe will he be qualified to meet Wu Yazi and obtain the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect.

However, Lin Bufan's villainous style is unconventional.

The key point is... he doesn't know how to play Go.

Seeing Su Xinghe carefully arranging the chess pieces, he walked over and kicked him.

*Thud!* The chessboard was kicked away, and chess pieces flew everywhere, falling to the ground in a chaotic mess.

Su Xinghe was taken aback, his lips moving slightly: "Young hero, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Bufan said, "It doesn't mean anything."

Su Xinghe didn't understand: "What do you mean by 'nothing'?"

Lin Bufan said, "It means it's meaningless."

Guo Fu had grown up with Huang Rong and had learned some of Huang Rong's cleverness. She guessed Lin Bufan's meaning and said to Su Xinghe, "What my brother Lin means is that playing chess is not interesting. Why don't you just call Wu Yazi out? That would be interesting."

Lin Bufan turned his head and smiled slightly, "Fu-mei, you understand me quite well."

"Of course, I understand you better than either of them."

Guo Fu looked up and laughed, showing no modesty whatsoever.

Over the past few days, the group's bond has deepened. Guo Fu and Lu Wushuang usually address Lin Bufan as Brother Lin, while Wanyan Ping calls him Young Master.

Returning to the present, Su Xinghe looked at the chess pieces scattered on the ground, feeling only confusion and bewilderment, without any anger.

Lin Bufan was greatly disappointed. It seemed that getting some fragments of cultivation techniques from Su Xinghe was going to be very difficult.

Su Xinghe quickly picked up the chess pieces on the ground one by one.

Su Xinghe said, "Young hero, you look down on me and want to see my master. I understand. I will go and ask him."

Lin Bufan waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead, I'll wait."

Su Xinghe turned and walked behind the artificial hill. After an incense stick's time, he came back and apologized to Lin Bufan, saying, "Master said that young hero has too much anger and is not his destined person. Please go back."

Lin Bufan refused to leave: "Call him out and let him tell me in person whether it is more important to find a destined person or to avenge himself and kill Ding Chunqiu."

Su Xinghe was taken aback. You also know about the grudges and feuds within our Xiaoyao Sect?

People in the martial arts world only know that they can obtain the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect by participating in the Zhenlong Chess Game, but they don't know that the additional condition is to kill Ding Chunqiu.

Ding Chunqiu was known in the martial arts world as Old Monster Ding or Immortal Xingxiu. He was a master of the Dissolving Power Technique, and most people dared not oppose him.

The young hero Lin in front of me is so young, could he really dare to be an enemy of Ding Chunqiu?

In his mind, the best candidate was actually Qiao Feng, or at the very least Duan Yu or Murong Fu.

These three men are either powerful and skilled in martial arts, or handsome and upright.

Young Master Lin is handsome, but not upright enough.

In terms of martial arts skills, he is definitely inferior to Qiao Feng and Murong Fu.

In short, he was not the person Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe were looking for.

Seeing that Su Xinghe was still considering, Lin Bufan couldn't wait any longer. "If you're not going to call him, I'll go call him myself."

Suddenly, a weathered voice echoed from within the artificial hill—"Young hero, do not move, this old man has come out."

Immediately afterward, the sound of the stone door opening and the sound of a wheelchair turning could be heard.

Soon, Wu Yazi, who was over ninety years old, withered and emaciated, and paralyzed on one side, appeared before everyone.

He used his internal energy to drive the wheels and slowly approached Lin Bufan in his wheelchair.

"Young hero, Su Xinghe said you overturned the chessboard. I suppose you are too proud to play chess with him. Then play with me."

As they were talking, Su Xinghe had already set up the Zhenlong Chess Game and placed it between the two of them.

Su Xinghe said to Lin Bufan, "Young Master Lin, you should feel honored. For decades, my master has never played chess with anyone. I have always played the Zhenlong Chess Game on his behalf. You are the first person to play with him."

Lin Bufan remained calm and did not say a word.

Wu Yazi stroked his beard, revealing an unfathomable expression, and said to Lin Bufan, "Young Master Lin, please make your move."

"I'm a loser."

Lin Bufan overturned the chessboard again, arrogantly declaring, "I don't know how to play Go."

Oh my god!

Su Xinghe and Wu Yazi stared blankly at the chess pieces flying all over the sky, speechless.

This young hero has such a fiery temper; he flips the table at the slightest provocation.

This child is hopeless, hopeless!

This was the first time Su Xinghe had ever been angry.

He originally thought that Lin Bufan looked down on him and thought he was unworthy, which was why he overturned the chessboard.

But now that his master has come out and shown him full respect, he still flipped the chessboard. Could it be that... he doesn't even give his master face?

He's clearly here to cause trouble, not to play chess.

"Young Master Lin, you..."

Su Xinghe angrily pointed at Lin Bufan, about to unleash a torrent of profanities.

Wu Yazi raised his hand to stop him: "It's alright, it's normal for young people to be a little impulsive. Xinghe, you can rearrange it again..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Bufan started acting unreasonably again, saying to Wu Yazi, "Senior, your wife had an affair with your disciple and pushed you off a cliff, leaving you crippled for life. You've endured that for decades?"

"Young Master Lin, you..."

This time, it wasn't Su Xinghe who was angry, but Wu Yazi.

Wu Yazi finally lost his temper.

He simply couldn't stand having his shortcomings exposed to his face.

That's right, he was cuckolded, betrayed by his apprentice, and pushed off a cliff, leaving him paralyzed on one side.

So what? He's actively looking for an opportunity to take revenge. Isn't the purpose of finding a successor to do just that, and incidentally, to promote the Xiaoyao Sect?

"It's good that you're angry," Lin Bufan thought to himself with a smile.

At the same time, the system notification sounds kept ringing.

In just one minute, Lin Bufan obtained fragments of Su Xinghe's musical skills, calligraphy, painting, and medical skills.

It is worth mentioning that Su Xinghe's medical skills are exceptionally high, and the world-renowned Doctor Xue is his personal disciple.

Besides the benefits from Su Xinghe, Lin Bufan also gained a lot from Wu Yazi.

Unfortunately, most of them are emotion points and internal energy fragments, but there are no fragments of martial arts techniques such as the Northern Darkness Divine Art or the Lesser Formless Art.

Lin Bufan waited patiently for a while, waiting for various fragments of the Northern Darkness Divine Art and Lingbo Steps to fall from Wuyazi's body.

Before he could wait any longer, Wu Yazi had already calmed down.

Those who cultivate immortality emphasize cultivating their minds; their emotions come and go quickly.

It seems that deliberately provoking him can only be used once. If you want to obtain his skills, you'll have to show some strength.
