C18 (1/2)

Lu Jinghui was a frequent visitor to the Duke of Yi's mansion in his early days. Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, he was still recognized by the servants of the Duke of Yi's mansion.

Lu Jinghui waved his hand and gave Lu Jinniang a look, indicating for her to follow. Then he followed behind the person who went to report and went straight to the Old Yi Duke. The person who rushed to report knocked on the door, and Lu Jinghui yelled, ”Old Yi, this old man is looking at you!”

Old Yi was sitting on the Eight Immortals' sofa and reading a book. When he heard this thunderous voice, he raised his eyes and said, ”I heard your voice from far away. As expected, I heard that you have been back to the ancestral lands for the past few years?” ”No matter how much you plow the fields, it still hasn't worn down your temper.”

Lu Jinghui glanced at Old Yi's empty pants leg and sat down across from him without a care. He then put down the small table on the Eight Immortals' couch.

”I'm not as patient as you. As usual, let's have a talk first and see who is more patient. Today, I brought a helper over, so I don't believe that I can't win against you.”

”Helper?” The Old Duke of Yi glanced at Lu Jin Nian and Mu Chi. His aura was burning, and his gaze was as sharp as ice. If it was a normal person, they would have long been trembling from the glare.

This was a valiant aura that only veterans who fought in the battlefield all year round possessed, and it was also the aura that Lu JinNian was most familiar with. He smiled, not surprised, as he cupped his hands and bowed, ”Junior Lu JinNian greets Grandfather Yi.”

Muqi was a dark guard active in the shadows. He only felt uncomfortable with Old Duke Yi's probing aura and shyly lowered his head. He was a part-time bodyguard. As long as he didn't move, that was fine.

Old Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, ”Old Lu, is this your granddaughter?”

Lu Jinghui was very proud, ”Otherwise.”

”Not bad. Get out of my way. This old man doesn't want to mess with you. Let your granddaughter do it!”

”Old Yi, I think you don't want to play chess. You want to fight, right?”

”Come on, who's afraid of who? Your martial arts are even taught to me by me!”

”…”

In order to prevent the two old urchins from actually fighting, Lu JinNian quickly found the chess board and chess piece box from the Old Yi Duke's room and placed them on the small table.

”Grandfather, Grandpa Yi, two days ago, my granddaughter obtained an incomplete chess piece, but she still hasn't found a way to resolve it. Since both grandfathers love chess, why don't we break the board together?”

After hearing Lu JinNian's suggestion, they looked at each other and said, ”Jin`er's suggestion is not bad. Breaking through the same board game is very fair, I will definitely break it before this old fogey and see who's the real loser!”

”Humph, then let Jin'er see which grandfather is stronger. Jin'er, let me tell you, your grandfather isn't as sincere as you seem. Back then …”

”Shut up!” Lu Jinghui's face turned red, ”Who hasn't had a young age when they're still young and inexperienced?”

Lu JinNian looked at the two of them in confusion. Seeing his grandfather's distressed look, he didn't have the heart to ask and obediently played chess on the chessboard.

In her previous life, in order to conduct military operations, she had researched many military strategies and tactics. In order to come up with a strategy for the chess game, she had turned over quite a number of remnants of the game.
