The world returned to peace.
The sea of clouds once again enveloped Luoxia Peak.
Qin Luo looked at Hua Ying and said, "Come with me to the foot of the mountain."
"oh."
Hua Ying pouted.
Because Qin Luo was still wary of her.
At the foot of Luoxia Peak, Qin Luo saw children picking peach blossoms in the snow. "What are you doing picking peach blossoms?"
The little girl with pigtails looked up, her clear eyes like a spring, and said in a childish voice, "Sister Qing'er said that we can use peach blossoms to make peach blossom cakes for us."
"I see."
Qin Luo nodded with a smile.
The little girl looked at Huaying and asked, "Pretty sister, can I have that peach blossom in your hair?"
Hua Ying smiled gently, looked at the little girl, and shook her head slightly, "No, you can't!"
"All right!"
The little girl buried her head in collecting flower petals from the ground.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the peach blossom among Huaying's hair was blown away, landing squarely in the little girl's bamboo basket where she was collecting peach blossoms.
Hua Ying touched the peach branch that held her long hair in a bun, her expression somewhat unnatural.
Qin Luo arrived at the porridge shop and asked with a smile, "Miss Zhao, you haven't been affected, have you?"
"We're fine."
Zhao Qing'er smiled sweetly.
She believed that Longhu Temple would protect them.
Qin Luo continued walking into the market, greeting the vendors on both sides and asking them if they had been injured or frightened.
Many people were frightened. A middle-aged vendor selling mutton soup climbed a tree, but jumped down because he was too excited. Fortunately, there was snow below, so he was not injured.
Seeing that the people were alright, Qin Luo went to the riverbank. He looked at Bai Yu lying in the stream, who seemed to be contemplating life, motionless. "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Bai Yu came to his senses. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but that he was badly injured and had only just recovered.
"Big brother!"
"I'm leaving right now!"
Bai Yu managed to stand up.
He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and soared into the sky.
Qin Luo watched Bai Yu leave and couldn't help but shake his head, "Are the Four Heroes of the Capital all this weak?"
Hua Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes, somewhat speechless. "It's not that they're weak, it's that you're too strong."
"It's better to play chess."
Qin Luo turned around and walked back to Longhu Temple.
Hua Ying trotted over to Qin Luo's side, smiling sweetly, "Could you teach me to play the bamboo flute?"
"Can."
Qin Luo recalled the girl who taught him the bamboo flute. "The bamboo flute was taught to me by a girl with a tragic fate. She was in darkness, but her heart was set on the light. The sound of her flute was very beautiful."
"You like her?"
"Friends I met by chance."
"And what about me?"
"You are my defeated opponent."
"..."
Hua Ying stopped speaking.
Back at Longhu Temple, Qin Luo looked at Hua Ying and said softly, "Do you really want to learn to play the bamboo flute?"
Hua Ying nodded earnestly with her pretty face.
Qin Luo sat in the pavilion, took out his bamboo flute, and taught Hua Ying the steps that Lü Ajiao had taught him.
Hua Ying was intelligent and quick to learn. She picked up the bamboo flute and played a somewhat lonely tune.
evening.
Zhang Fulong returned to Longhu Temple, covered in snow and wind, while Ziyue and Jinyan carried snow pears.
When Qin Luo saw his master return, he asked with a smile, "Master, would you like to play chess?"
Zhang Fulong's eyes were deep, and his voice was hoarse as he said, "I don't like things that require thinking. You guys play."
The shadows of flowers seem to be playing a bamboo flute.
Now no one plays chess with Qin Luo.
From within the jade pendant, the purple-haired fairy suddenly spoke, "Qin Luo, I'd like to play chess with you."
"OK!"
Qin Luo answered using his divine sense.
Inside the jade pendant, a chessboard appeared in front of the purple-haired fairy. Qin Luo's consciousness appeared in the jade pendant. He sat cross-legged in front of the chessboard, and the purple-haired fairy also sat cross-legged in front of the chessboard.
Even at such close range, Qin Luo still couldn't see her face clearly, but he could sense that her beauty was breathtaking.
Qin Luo holds the white pen.
The purple-haired fairy wields black.
Qin Luo's first move was still Tianyuan.
The purple-haired fairy decided to teach him a little lesson.
They made their moves very quickly. Qin Luo felt the pressure from the purple-haired fairy not long after the game started, but he didn't think much of it and continued to play based on his intuition.
Not long after, the game reached the middle stage, and White was clearly at a disadvantage.
Qin Luo still appeared very relaxed.
The purple-haired fairy said softly, "Qin Luo, have you considered the consequences of making this move?"
Qin Luo shook his head slightly, "At the beginning, I could think things through one step at a time, but now I can't. Maybe that's life. By the time you figure it out, it's too late."
"No wonder you act recklessly. Life is not a game of chess. You can start over in a game of chess, but you can't start over in life!" The purple-haired fairy elegantly placed a black piece.
There are not many chances left for White to survive on the board.
Without a second thought, Qin Luo placed the white piece into the trap prepared by the purple-haired fairy.
The purple-haired fairy shook her head slightly. She picked up the black pieces and began to surround and kill the white pieces that had fallen into the trap.
The situation became increasingly complex, and Qin Luo could only rely on his intuition to make moves. The white pieces were constantly being devoured by the black pieces, but the white dragon on the board did not fall and continued to put up a stubborn resistance.
The purple-haired fairy looked at Qin Luo. His start was ordinary, but it became more and more outrageous as the game went on. He had a strong luck, and every step he took was as if he was being helped by the heavens.
"Some chess players can make a brilliant move by chance, but you've been able to maintain this state all along. What do you see on the chessboard?" The purple-haired fairy looked into Qin Luo's eyes, trying to see something in them.
Qin Luo smiled slightly, "Some positions on the chessboard look brighter, and I like brighter places."
"Playing chess with you is no fun."
