“Tat...” “Tat...” “Tat...”

In the quiet room, there was only the sound of black and white go stones falling on the board. Both players were really focusing on the game, their eyes and minds were fixed on the go board.

After an hour of silence, the entire go board finally filled with stones.

“Huh...” Etiquette Protector Cheng let out a long sigh. He picked up the ceramic cup and took a sip of the hot tea that had just been refilled, while Jiang Beiran was counting the go stones.

He cleared all the dead pieces of both sides out of the go board, and then he began to round it up.

“Black has a total of 177 stones, and white has 343 stones. Etiquette Protector Cheng, you have won.”

“Hahaha.” Etiquette Protector Cheng laughed loudly after hearing this, “Well, you have no clue how to counter my tactic, right?”

“Your move is really powerful. I thought that I would be able to resist your attack in this position. Although you didn’t save your stone group with this move, you caught me by surprise with your forcing move. It’s really powerful. ”

“Hahahaha!”

Jiang Beiran’s praise was obviously very useful to Etiquette Protector Cheng. He twitched his beard and said, “I have a lot of fun to play with you. You know where you’re losing. You’re not like other idiots.”

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands and replied, “I only know where I made my mistakes, but I don’t know how to solve it. I hope you can give some pointers.”

“Okay, let’s do another round then!”

At three o’clock in the midnight, with the bright candlelight, Jiang Beiran was still fighting with Etiquette Protector Cheng.

After losing two more rounds, Jiang Beiran wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead and said, “This move really opens up your path and tackle my pieces, I’m amaze! Please allow me to retreat for a month and study this board carefully.”

The so-called retreat is actually equivalent to “asking for leave”. For example, a disciple feels that he is going to break through this month, so he can apply for a retreat from his master. If he was allowed to, then he didn’t need to carry out his duty in this month. He also did not need to go down the mountain for the trial. However, this “leave” was only allowed once a year, which makes Jiang Beiran quite regretful.

Seeing Jiang Beiran’s admiring expression, Etiquette Protector Cheng burst into joy, and he nodded immediately and promised, “Good, I agree to this matter.”

“Thank you, Etiquette Protector Cheng.” Jiang Beiran smiled happily.

“Another game?” Etiquette Protector Cheng stroked the go board and asked.

“Yes, I would like to!”

As the saying goes, meeting an opponent is one of life’s great joys. Jiang Beiran and Etiquette Protector Cheng just “battled” all night, and even at dawn, they were still not sleepy.

“Dong dong dong!”

“Liangji, is Beiran here with you?” contemporary romance

Just as Etiquette Protector Cheng was frowning and thinking about the meaning of Jiang Beiran’s play, there was a sudden knock at the door, followed by a voice that both of them were very familiar with.

“No way... Order Master came?” Jiang Beiran thought nervously. Although Jiang Beiran had expected that someone would come to look for him today, he did not expect that the Order Master himself would come.

Cheng Liangji naturally did not know what Jiang Beiran was thinking, so he answered directly, “He’s playing a game with me.”

“Then I’ll help myself in.” After Zhang Heqing finished speaking, he pushed open the door and entered.

“Greeting, Order Master.” Seeing Zhang Heqing coming in, Jiang Beiran immediately stood up and saluted.

“Hmm.” Zhang Heqing nodded with a smile, and then said, “Beiran, pause the game and come out with me.”

Jiang Beiran and Cheng Liangji stunned for a while after hearing this. They were really surprised because there is an unwritten rule in Order of Blue Heart. They must wait the players finished a game before they could interrupt unless it was a critically emergency. However, as soon as Order Master came in, he immediately asked them to “pause” the game.

“Beiran, have you committed a crime?” Cheng Liangji looked at Jiang Beiran and asked. Otherwise, he really could not think of why the Order Master would even stop his game.

Jiang Beiran shook his head hurriedly and said, “No way, I have always been honest, how could I do something wrong?”

Zhang Heqing laughed and patted Jiang Beiran’s shoulder. He said, “No need to be nervous, just come with me.”

Looking at Zhang Heqing’s warm smile, Jiang Beiran had already guessed the Order Master’s intention. He cupped his hands and said, “Master, I have an enlightenment when I played against Etiquette Protector Cheng, and I asked Etiquette Protector Cheng to allow me to retreat for a month...”

Jiang Beiran was just halfway through speaking when Zhang Heqing’s voice suddenly interrupted him, “Don’t use this as an excuse to prevaricate me. Come with me now, or you won’t get any benefits from me in the future.”

Jiang Beiran stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Heqing, who was still smiling and did not move his lips.

“Voice transmission?”

At the same time, three options appeared in front of him.

[Option 1: Refuse and quit. Completion reward: Sea Mantra (Black Grade High Tier)]

[Option 2: Ask Cheng Liangji to intercede. Completion reward: Seven Steps Technique (Black Grade Low Tier)]

[Option 3: Agree to Order Master. Reward: random basic skill points +1]

“Well... It seems that the Order Master is serious this time.”

Realizing that the Order Master’s attitude was very tough this time, Jiang Beiran immediately chose the third option. He turned to Cheng Liangji and said, “Etiquette Protector Cheng, then I will go out with the Order Master first.”

“Well, just go, come back soon.”

Seeing Jiang Beiran agree, Zhang Heqing immediately smiled and said, “We’ll be back soon.”

With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Beiran followed Zhang Heqing and walked outside the room.

They walked all the way to Floating Sea Pavilion, which was usually used for hospitality. Zhang Heqing, who did not say a word on the way, immediately cupped his hand and walked in with a smile, “Law Protector Yu, I brought you the person you want.”

Yu Manwen, who was standing in the center of the hall, smiled slightly when he heard the Zhang Heqing. He returned his salute to Zhang Heqing and said, “Thank you, Order Master Zhang.”

“No need to thank me, Law Protector Yu.” After speaking, he moved the chair diligently and said to Man Wen, “Why is Law Protector Yu standing? If the others saw you, they will mock me for doesn’t know how to treat a guest. Sit down, sit down.”

Looking at Zhang Heqing’s flattering smile, Jiang Beiran’s mind collapsed.

“Sh*t! Where is the personable and valiant Star Luo Sword, Zhang Heqing that I know?”

When Manwen sat down, Zhang Heqing looked at Na Moman who was standing at the door and shouted, “Why haven’t you make a cup of tea for the distinguished guest yet?”

When Na Moman was about to speak, Yu Manwen said first, “Master Zhang, don’t blame him, I told him not to.”

“That won’t do. You must drink the tea. I just bought some nice tea a few days ago, and they are fragrant. You must have a taste.” Zhang Heqing saw that Moman as still standing, so he yelled at him, “What are you still doing her? Go and make a pot of tea.”

“Oh, yes!” After Moman finished speaking, he hurried out.

“Thank you, Master Zhang.” Yu Manwen nodded slightly towards Zhang Heqing.

“You rarely come to the Order of Blue Heart, so I have to treat you nicely.” After speaking, Zhang Heqing waved to Jiang Beiran and shouted, “Why aren’t you coming over here? What are you doing there?”

Watching Zhang Heqing move a chair and sit next to Yu Manwen while talking, Jiang Beiran sighed heavily in his heart.

‘Master, you can’t get a girl like this!’
