Ye Buhui looked at her eagerly, and Su Ziji couldn't tease her, so he turned the book upside down on the table and said, "Of course I remember Dragon Palace's story."

Ye Buhui's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Well, really." Su Ziji smiled, "I had a share of the credit for the game you won, how could you forget it?"

Ye Buhui was stunned, and then he laughed, "Well, without your help, I would probably have a nightmare of being eaten by a fish monster."

When she woke up, even though the chess players had a bad attitude, she still tested it and found that they were all just having nightmares.

"It's not just a nightmare." Su Ziji never deliberately conceals or creates misunderstandings with his own people. His smile faded, "What you want to ask is, is the message on the boat true?"

"I can tell you, it's absolutely true." Su Ziji said calmly with a smile, "Those who failed in the competition and escaped from the hall, all were taken away by Against-the-Wind."

"Life span, Fortune, future, relatives and friends, future generations, all gone."

"That's why their attitude towards us is so bad, because they instinctively know that they have nothing left, but we are still alive and have even taken away their original creation."

"Zheng Yingci and Zhang Modong are the only two survivors. If I test it, they should lose their memory, but don't think that they will have a good impression of us."

"Sometimes, you steal people's opportunities and kill their parents." Before Su Ziji got off the boat, he talked with Zheng Yingci. At that time, he actually felt a trace of resentment from him. He didn't think about it in detail at the time, but when he came back, he thought about it - he had been reborn. If he hadn't been reborn, who would be the most confident to solve the chess game when Dragon Palace started?

It's Zheng Yingci.

Therefore, it can be said that I have snatched the opportunity of Zheng Yingci, but in this world, who will not fight for it, and who will not take it away?

Su Ziji only raised his vigilance, but did not want to expose this. He just said, "So you have to be careful. Many times, hatred is formed in this way Mo Ming."

Ye Buhui has many bad habits, but being able to listen to the words of people she trusts is a great advantage. She nodded repeatedly and asked, "I just received a notice saying that there will be another rematch in the chess match. What's the reason?"

"Too many people have died, and there is no evidence. The chess game has to be played one by one to be clear. Besides, we are the only ones who survived, so we have to find out." Su Ziji smiled and subconsciously stroked the book, "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I think you are bored alone, so I am kind enough to accompany you in the next game, but there is only one game."

"One game is one game!" Knowing that Su Ziji spends most of his time reviewing his homework, Ye Buhui doesn't mind even if it's just one game.

The two played a game of chess.

Although Su Ziji doesn't have much research on chess skills, in the Water Palace, he can teach Ye Buhui by learning Coiling Dragon Secret Art, which has passively added skills.

"Go Level 4, 3258/4000"

Ye Buhui had an idea, her talent improved, and she kept improving her skills. When facing Su Ziji, she was even more aggressive. Whenever this happened, she smiled broadly, as if she had found gold.

"Kill, kill, kill, I win again."

"You win." Su Ziji dropped the chess piece in his hand. "I didn't expect you to make such great progress. I think you will definitely win the first prize in this chess match."

"Upper Capital also has a chance to win."

"I'm not as talented as you." Ye Buhui looked at the chess game. After getting over his excitement, he cleaned up and said, "How long have you been playing? If you participate in the chess competition, you can hope to become a saint in ten years."

She said this, but she felt sour in her heart. Why can Su Ziji learn everything? No wonder his father values him so much. Are women really inferior to men?

Su Ziji looked at her expression and laughed dumbly, "There are specializations in chess. It is easy to get started with chess, but it becomes more difficult as you go forward. I have no intention of improving in this aspect."

"Chess Sage's hope depends entirely on you."

This is not an excuse, it is a sincere statement.

Coiling Dragon Secret Art is very strange, the secret is hidden in Chess Path. If you are a chess player, you cannot see the secret, but if you are a practitioner, you will not be able to get in without Chess Path.

But by forcibly digesting Su Ziji, not only was the secret of Coiling Dragon Secret Art obtained, but also the chess records of the set were also understood. This was equivalent to being taught by national players, so it was possible to achieve level 4 overnight.

In reality, it is probably on the same level as Ye Buhui before the competition.

But this cannot last for a long time. The energy invested, one's own talent and love for chess are all influencing factors. Ye Buhui has these, but Su Ziji does not.

Four Books and Five Classics, can obtain fame, Coiling Dragon Secret Art, implies the hope of transcendence.

Both of them can work hard, but what can chess skills give them? The best is Ninth Rank Chess Attendant, Eighth Rank Chess Sage. If you take Provincial Graduate, you can become Seventh Rank!

Ye Buhui could hear his sincerity, and even though he knew that Su Ziji might be trying to comfort him, his heart still felt warm.

"Are you afraid that I'm slacking off?" She glared at him playfully. "I'm not that kind of person."

"Yes, yes! Bu Hui is better than me!" Su Ziji nodded in agreement.

"Then, another game?" Ye Buhui thought for a while, stretched out a finger, and said tentatively.

In the round just now, Su Ziji had been killed, so he immediately shook his head and refused. "No, it's just this round as promised!"

Seeing Ye Buhui's eyebrows raised, Su Ziji hurried back, picked up the book, and shook it at her. "I'll go back to the room and read!"

Now the cabin is considered a public area, with a chessboard and a good view. You can look out of the window. However, in order to avoid this little chess fanatic, Su Ziji decided to go back to his room to watch. Although there is only a small window, it is at least quieter.

Ye Buhui saw the book in Su Ziji's hand, and suddenly remembered Prefectural Examination of Su Ziji, and was embarrassed to chase the opponent to play chess together again.

Su Ziji breathed a sigh of relief after returning to his room.

"It's so interesting to read a book and browse the spring water on this boat." Opening the window and looking at it, he saw the willows on the lakeshore curling like smoke, waterfowl circling and skimming the water for food, and the sky and water were full of color, Su Ziji said softly.

"Hey, what is this?" Just as he was about to close the window and sit at the desk to read, Su Ziji was startled and saw a white shadow flying quickly towards the lake.

When Su Ziji rubbed his eyes and looked again, the white shadow had disappeared.

"It's not a ghost, it looks like an animal."

"But what animal can walk on water? Could it be Monster?"

Su Ziji thought to himself, closed the window and returned to the table. At this moment, there was a knock on the window, and a small whimpering sound was also heard.

The voice was clear and soft, and it was obviously not a human voice.

"Fox?" Su Ziji's eyes fell on the window, and he met the eyes of a small, pitiful-looking white fox. It was lying on the window, looking at the catalpas and whining, with a human-like pleading expression on its face.

If you look closely, you can see that it looks a little miserable. It used to have smooth white skin, but now its fur is black and gray. I don't know who burned it.
