In the simple room, the gray-haired old man looked calm and fell into long memories.

It turned out that after Nie Li fell in love with the mayor's daughter Fu Qiuhong, his dull personality began to gradually become cheerful. Not long after, he regained his childhood extroversion.

With Nie Li's intelligence and his kindness to Qishan Town, the people in the town naturally became closer and closer to him. Even the old mayor was quite satisfied with his performance and recognized this young and promising son-in-law.

However, although he was recognized by the old town mayor Fu Wanjiang, the orphan who died of both his parents since childhood, still dared not slacken. He got up early and went to bed late every day to guard the house and guard the house. While his strength gradually improved, he was also loved by Fu Qiuhong and his daughter. It seemed that all phenomena meant that these two young boys and girls who were in love would become a happy story in Qishan Town.

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly paused, then looked at the mahogany table that was portrayed as a Go board, and said thoughtfully, "However, the good times have never been long. When Nie Li was 18 years old, Emperor Lingtian suddenly issued an imperial edict, requiring each town to send at least one person proficient in Go to Lingtian City to participate in the Battle of Chess Saints."

Go has always been the national chess of the Lingtian Empire. It is also the most common entertainment activity in Lingtian and is deeply loved by the people.

Ye Hen has learned a little about this from the official website information. If this were not the case, the entry location of the level 30 copy of Zhenlong Chess Game would not have been set up in Lingtian City.

"When it comes to Go, it's not that old men boast. In the entire Lingtian Empire, the Go masters in Qishan Town are also the most outstanding town. It has been circulating outside that Qishan is two mysterious big names, and they cut off Lingtian Peak in half to make a chessboard. Because the incident happened too long, it can no longer be traced back now, but since Qishan Town has someone, every household has no Go player. There are even Go competitions held in the town occasionally to reward those talents with superb chess skills."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hen was stunned at first, and then nodded constantly to express his approval.

Even the table where you eat is engraved with the vertical and horizontal lines of the chessboard and the Tianyuan Star. If you are not obsessed, then he will not believe it.

"However, although the battle for Chess Saints is a grand event for Ling Tian, ​​it is not necessarily true for Nie Li and Miss Qiuhong. At that time, the chess player recognized by Qishan Town who is the best Go technique was Fu Wanjiang himself. Although the old mayor was just a scholar, he was extremely obsessed with Go, and his talent in this area was almost unmatched. He was known as the "Little Chess Saint" in Qishan Town. His chess skills are superb, even far beyond those so-called national players. He has formed his own style. In our Qishan Town, there are many young chess players who have been guided by him. They shine brightly in the outside world and occupy a place in the Go circle."

"After the news came, there was almost no word. The old mayor led his daughter to Lingtian City. Due to the weak defense in the town, he insisted on bringing Nie Li, the 'big master', to go with him. Before leaving, he instructed Nie Li to protect Qishan Town. If there is any mistake, he will definitely ask him."

"Nie Li naturally dared to obey the instructions of his future father-in-law. He personally sent the old mayor and his sweetheart down the mountain, and rushed back. After practicing hard every day, he would patrol the town and never relax at all."

"The old mayor brought his daughter to the imperial city and discovered that the majestic atmosphere of Lingtian City had surpassed tens of millions of Qishan Towns. Chess masters who came to participate in the Battle of Chess Saints rushed into the imperial city from all directions like flowing water, with great momentum, and even surpassed the fire-like defense battle on the border at one point."

"The old mayor is worthy of being a chess expert. Even when facing many Go experts, he has never been humble or arrogant. His performance on the court is amazing. You should know that the old mayor was only less than forty at that time. In the Go circle where seniority is considered, he was only a junior, but he defeated many famous masters of the world and made rapid progress, attracting the attention of all the officials in the court."

"Because I was worried about leaving Miss Qiu Hong alone in the inn, the old mayor would bring Miss Qiu Hong, who had already left the game at that time, to play with each other. Especially on the highly anticipated semi-finals, Miss Qiu Hong's fairy-like appearance immediately attracted the attention of many dignitaries who came to watch the game. Although the old mayor won the semi-finals, his popularity seemed to be snatched away by Miss Qiu Hong. Miss Qiu Hong's fairy-like beauty and natural charming temperament attracted the attention of most people."

"It was also from the day of the semi-finals that the inns where the old town mayor and Miss Qiuhong stayed were broken through. Countless children of wealthy families and even romantic and powerful people came to visit them in disloyal manner, called visiting Go masters, but the old town mayor knew very well that they actually wanted to see Miss Qiuhong's face."

"As a decent person who is well-read, the old mayor has never been a greedy person for glory. He returned the gifts sent by these people one by one, and closed the door to thank the guests. It was not until the battle for the chess saint three days later that he brought Miss Qiuhong to the venue where everyone gathered."

"According to surprise, when the old mayor brought Miss Qiuhong to the stage, it suddenly became the focus of the audience and received the warmest cheers and applause from the audience. But they didn't know that it was at that time that a young man from a long-standing family, as soon as he saw Miss Qiuhong at that time, he was shocked and from then on, he devoted all his thoughts to Miss Qiuhong."

"However, since it was the final of the Chess Saint Contest held by the court at that time, no one dared to do anything there. Even the prince of the aristocratic family dared not. The Chess Saint Contest was held as usual. After a fierce battle, the old mayor finally lived up to expectations and defeated the strong opponent, won the title of the world's No. 1 Chess Saint, and received a chess board reward made of pure gold."

"Until the end of the event, when the old mayor was about to return to Qishan Town with Miss Qiuhong, some uninvited guests came to the inn, and the leader was the powerful young master of the aristocratic family."

"As soon as I saw the old town mayor and Miss Qiuhong, the young master expressed his purpose. Unexpectedly, he came to Miss Qiuhong, who is regarded as a god. I hope that the old town mayor can betroth him."

"As the head of a town in Qishan Town, the old mayor naturally knows the basic situation of some famous families in the empire. He is very clear that the family of this young master in front of him is established by martial arts and enjoys great prestige throughout Lingtian territory. Every generation of men is the most brave general on the battlefield and has made great contributions to defending Lingtian."

"And that young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, but he had already mastered all his ancestral skills. He was also a rare genius figure in Lingtian Imperial City, which was full of talents."

"Even so, the old mayor still did not agree to the young master. He just used the excuse of Miss Qiuhong's young age to shirk the young master's proposal, and then took Miss Qiuhong back to Qishan Town."

"When the townspeople welcomed the Chess Saint back to their hometown with a bright light, no one knew the old mayor's distress. He knew the deep affection between his daughter and his life-savior Nie Li, and he also knew how terrifying the family background of the young master was. Although he was lucky enough to shirke him this time, with the stubborn personality, he would never give up."

"As expected, half a year later, the handsome young man from a noble family came to Qishan Town with a grand betrothal gift. When the large boxes of gold, silver and silk and satin were placed in the hall of the mansion, Nie Li, who had been kept in the dark, realized how big the gap was between him and this noble man."

"The young master of the aristocratic family also seemed to see that Miss Qiuhong had no intention of him. In addition, he was already over the age of twentieth. According to the regulations passed down by the family for hundreds of years, he had to join the army and join the front line to train immediately, so he was like this. //Shumilou's fastest text update. - No ads//I was anxious to set my name first so that outsiders could get ahead of it."

"Before leaving, the young master of the aristocratic family left a message. After three years, when he made his own achievements, he would come to Qishan Town to marry Miss Qiuhong and make him the happiest bride in the world."

"From the wonderful body movements of flying over the eaves and walls that the aristocratic young master deliberately showed before leaving, almost everyone present could see that the aristocratic young master was far superior to Nie Li in terms of personal strength. After witnessing such a scene with his own eyes, Nie Li, who has always been self-esteem, could withstand such a blow. Under the influence of his self-esteem, he couldn't even listen to Miss Qiu Hong's bitter explanation. He hurriedly packed up some of his changing clothes, took his own hatchet and got off the Chess Mountain, and broke into the vast world outside."

"Before leaving, he made a heart-warming promise to Miss Qiuhong, who was crying, and gave him three years. He either didn't come back within three years. If he could come back, the day he would be when he turned into a dragon. If he couldn't come back within three years, then please ask Miss Qiuhong to forget him, marry that noble family, and be a wealthy young lady with peace of mind."

As I recalled, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears, as if he was sighing that his childhood playmate would have made a big splash.

Listening to the old man's memories, Ye Hen couldn't help but think. He asked the old man tentatively, "Uncle, is the big family in the imperial city surnamed Shang?"

Ye Hen is still a little scared about the crazy old man he met in the treasure cave not long ago.

"Yes, it's Shang, how could you know so clearly Xiaoye?" Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but be slightly stunned, his eyes flashed a few times.

"It's just heard from the truth. Haha, please continue, uncle." He smiled embarrassedly, Ye Hen's expression was a little uncomfortable. He didn't know what the old man would think of the tragic ending of the young master of the aristocratic family who had known it.

Ye Hen naturally would not mention these past events that were sad, so as not to be distracted or sad, which would also affect his continued telling Nie Li's past to himself.~.-~
