Since that girl is here too, she must be very interested in the chess game.

And they haven't left yet. Either they are still waiting and watching, or they have tried but it didn't work.

Now he came to try, and she was so focused on the game that she could naturally see him.

At this point, Ning Yunzhao had already walked to the Huadeng chessboard.

"Here comes another one who wants to get rich."

The onlookers started to make a fuss and eventually went their separate ways.

The lantern watcher once again knocked on the glass cup with the wooden stick he had been swinging all night.

"Money," he said.

The glass cup was almost filled with silver, and it looked very attractive under the dim light of the lanterns on both sides.

All this money was given by others, but the lantern watcher became more and more rude to those who gave him the money.

He knocked the bowl with a wooden stick, not even bothering to say the word "please", and spoke with impatience, as if he was asking for food out of pity.

I'm obviously here to give them money.

Some people care about this, but many people don't. Their attention is all on the increasing amount of silver and the banknote.

Ning Yunzhao didn't care at all, not only because he didn't care in the first place, but also because he saw the girl looking at him.

I wonder if she recognized me?

Ning Yunzhao put the money in his hand into the glass bowl and stood in front of the chessboard.

…

Miss Jun had actually seen Ning Yunzhao a long time ago. Although the young man was wrapped in a thick cloak and his face was covered by a hat, Jun Zhenzhen's memory was too deep.

But it was just recognition, Miss Jun didn't have any other thoughts. When she saw him standing in front of the chessboard, she frowned slightly, but soon calmed down.

Although Ning Yunzhao's chess skills are good, he is still too young. Maybe he will be good enough when he grows up to be as old as his master.

Thinking of her master, Miss Jun felt a little sad.

She had never thought that her master would die, and his death was so sudden. He was regarded as a god by so many people and was waiting to be rescued, but he fell from a cliff and died without leaving a single word. If she hadn't found him at the bottom of the cliff as soon as possible, I'm afraid his body would have been carried away and eaten by wild wolves.

She couldn't accept the Master's death. I'm sure the Master himself couldn't accept it either, so she concealed the news of the Master's death, letting him live forever like a deity in the hearts of the people.

When Ning Yunzhao stood in front of the chessboard, he no longer paid attention to the girl's gaze. He looked at the chessboard in front of him with a serious expression.

He knew that a chess game that dared to use five thousand taels of silver as a stake must be extraordinary. Now that he saw it, he felt that this chess game was even more amazing than he had imagined.

The chessboard was decorated with lanterns, black and white, representing the chess pieces, which were placed sparsely and chaotically in a pitch-black mass, but when one looked into the heart, a chill came over one's face.

This must be a remnant of ancient times.

Ning Yunzhao recognized it immediately, but became more solemn after recognizing it.

Previously, when he and the girl were playing blind chess, as they placed their pieces, the chessboard was filled with the atmosphere of wind, rain, swords, and the atmosphere was lively and murderous with each player moving back and forth, advancing and retreating.

But now facing this chess game, he changed his mind and thought that no matter how he made his moves, the chessboard would be silent, like a dead pool.

It's like the ocean; if you throw a small stone into it, there won't even be a ripple.

He can't solve this situation.

After thinking this through, he put down the chess piece in his hand and turned around.

The change happened in the blink of an eye. People around him hadn't reacted yet. His companions who were standing behind him and preparing joking congratulations were also stunned.

They didn't even dare to guess what it meant.

"I can't solve it." Ning Yunzhao said proactively.

The people around came to their senses and started to boo.

"Another rich guy."

They have seen quite a few people like this tonight, but most of them would just guess randomly. This young man is the first one who doesn't even guess.

His companions did not find it funny. Instead, they were very surprised and looked serious.

“Is it really that amazing?” they asked.

Although they were joking, they were still very clear about Ning Yunzhao's real talent.

He gave up without even trying.

When facing an opponent of similar strength, even if one feels inferior to the opponent, one will still want to give it a try. Only when facing an opponent with a huge gap in strength will one not even think about challenging the opponent.

"Isn't this a cheating chess game that is impossible to solve?" The companions frowned.

Ning Yunzhao didn't say anything but looked in one direction.

The girl lowered her head. I don’t know if she lowered her head from the beginning or only lowered her head after she saw that she had failed.

She still didn't come forward to ask me.

But girls shouldn't take the initiative to do this, so just do it yourself.

This chess game is difficult, what do you think?

Isn't this a great opening?

This was the first thing he wanted to say to the girl. He walked up to the girl. She would definitely look up at him when she heard the noise.

Hello, miss, it's me. This opening line is too deliberate, especially the word "me". Bowing and greeting are too vulgar and seem deliberate.

Since they met by chance and played a game of chess casually, they should just let everything go at its own pace.

Moreover, my opening remarks made it very easy for the girl to answer and allowed the topic to continue comfortably.

If she has tried it, it is obvious that she has not figured it out and she will agree with him. It is difficult to say yes.

If she hadn't tried it yet, and she knew a little about his chess skills, she would naturally ask him seriously when she heard him say this.

It's natural, casual and not deliberate, and it's neat and tidy, which can also prevent the girl from thinking too much.

He was just talking about the chess game, nothing else.

Ning Yunzhao was a very efficient person. When the thought came to his mind, he had already walked towards that direction, still holding the lantern in his hand.

"Hey? Where are you going?"

"Are you leaving now? I haven't tried yet."

"Although we are not as good as you, please give us some face."

My companions joked and laughed behind me.

Ning Yunzhao paused slightly.

It's not just the girl who needs to be avoided from causing any over-thinking, but also your companions.

To go or not to go?

If you go there, these people will definitely tell you something even if they have nothing to say. If you don't think too much about it, they will make you think too much.

If I don't go, this opportunity... this rare chance to discuss a chess game with everyone interested in it would be a waste.

Of course, since this lantern chess game was set up by someone from Yangcheng, I can naturally ask about it later, but it will be difficult to find another opportunity to make friends and talk to this girl.

If I continue to make friends and talk to her at that time, she will definitely think too much.

After a pause, Ning Yunzhao took another step forward, but at the same time there was a sound behind him and shouts of surprise.

He turned his head subconsciously, only to see that the dark chessboard seemed to be ignited by a flame, starting with a few sparks and then igniting the whole field in an instant.

The lanterns on the entire chessboard lit up one after another, the black lanterns contained white colored glass, the white lanterns contained colorful colored glass, they swayed and rotated one after another, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

Ning Yunzhao only felt a tingling sensation rushing from his feet to his head.

The chess game was broken.
