Li Si's Broken Dragon Formation very strange. In order to avoid ceding territory, Go players from Xinzheng City and even the surrounding city-states were brought in.
Inside the imperial court, a group of Go masters, having exhausted all their skills, marveled at the ingenuity of the game.
"It seems our country is destined to suffer this calamity." Fourth Prince Han Yu felt helpless. Although he was a Go Grandmaster, there were many Grandmaster present whose skills were far superior to his, and there was nothing he could do.
"Ninth Brother, it's already evening. Can you see anything?"
Han Fei smiled but remained silent.
"My lords, please continue. I am a little tired and will go to rest for a while."
Xiao Tian had no desire to continue dealing with these guys, so he made a quick getaway. He was completely baffled by the game, and the system had no ability to break the deadlock, offering no hints whatsoever. Now, he could only rely on Han Fei.
On the way back, they met two sisters, Hu Meiren and Lady Hu.
"Your Majesty."~
Xiao Tian glanced at Lady Hu and realized that his younger sister, Lady Hu, was still younger and more attractive.
"The court is too noisy, my beauty, I'm a little hungry."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I'll go and get you something good right away."
"Sister, that's all for now."
Afterwards, Xiao Tian enjoyed a sumptuous dinner in Hu Meiren's palace.
Although the food at the Purple Orchid Pavilion was good, it still couldn't compare to the meals that Hu Meiren prepared with such care.
Of course, the food at the Purple Orchid Pavilion was still better than that of the imperial cuisine.
"Your Majesty, shall I accompany you for a walk to aid digestion?"
Then, an awkward scene unfolded!
Upon learning of Xiao Tian's situation, Lady Mingzhu rushed over and bumped into Xiao Tian and Hu Meiren at the spot where they had been separated.
"Your Majesty, so you were with your sister." Lady Mingzhu regretted not being a better cook.
"Oh, it's you, elder sister." Hu Meiren smiled and nodded, acknowledging the greeting.
"My beauty, have you eaten yet?"
"I'm full, Your Majesty."
Xiao Tian almost burst out laughing. Lady Mingzhu must be furious; she's jealous.
"Now that you're full, why don't you take a walk with me?"
For a moment, Lady Mingzhu and Hu Meiren followed behind Xiao Tian, their eyes clashing in a fierce and intense battle.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"Father! What are you doing here!"
A charmingly arrogant voice rang out, blocking Xiao Tian's path; it was Princess Hong Lian.
"It's Hong Lian. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Hong Lian pouted, clearly displeased. She ran over, grabbed Xiao Tian's arm, and shook it, saying, "Father, my brothers are all working on the chess game, but you're just strolling around here leisurely with others."
"What, you know Go?"
"I don't understand."
"That's settled then. Wang Ye doesn't understand; his tone makes some Go Grandmaster feel restrained and unable to relax. Tathagata here."
"Father, what you said makes sense." Hong Lian blinked her beautiful eyes, speechless for a moment.
" Hong Lian, have you eaten yet?"
"No, Father only cares about state affairs and his concubines. He doesn't remember his starving daughter at all," Hong Lian said, looking aggrieved.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but look at Hu Meiren: "Beauty, get some more. After such a long walk, I've digested most of it, and I'm a little hungry."
"And you should have some too, my beauty." Xiao Tian turned his gaze to Lady Mingzhu.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lady Mingzhu dared not refuse, but she felt a little annoyed, wondering if this gentleman was being too greedy.
"Your Majesty, where is the palace guard commander you appointed? I haven't seen him before."
They're up to something!
Xiao Tianxin skipped a beat. He almost wanted to execute Lady Mingzhu and teach her a good lesson, otherwise she would have no sense of propriety at all and would get addicted to undermining the rules.
"Father, Xiao Brother Tian has become the commander of your palace guards, but I haven't seen him yet, and he's not in court. Anyway, Hu Meiren needs time to cook, so why don't you call Xiao Brother Tian over and have him teach me how to defend myself?"
Xiao Tian couldn't help but feel a headache coming on at Hong Lian's demands.
Xiao Tian noticed Lady Mingzhu's subtle facial expressions at that moment.
A test! Lady Mingzhu is testing Xiao Tian's identity!
"Good heavens! What a terrifying woman! She's scheming all the time!" Xiao Tian thought in surprise.
Xiao Tian Xiao Tian realized that if his public identity were exposed, it would be detrimental to his actions.
Since we can't expose it, the only option is to summon Commander Xiao.
Furthermore, he cannot leave Lady Mingzhu's sight, otherwise this beautiful Lady Mingzhu will become even more suspicious and convinced of his true identity.
"Luckily, I had a backup plan in the Kamui Dimension!"
Kamui Dimension was originally a power of his Mangekyō Sharingan before his left eye, the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, advanced; after advancing, it became his own ability.
There are quite a few residents in the Kamui Dimension, among whom Bibi Dong Douluo Continent, is the largest resident.
With Tianxin entered the Kamui Dimension and used his mental energy to contact his backup Shadow Clone.
In an instant, the Shadow Clone Xiao Tian took his place.
All of this was accomplished in the blink of an eye by Xiao Tian, without any hesitation.
"Since Hong Lian has requested it, that's fine. Let's go and summon Commander Xiao Tian."
Lady Mingzhu was surprised. Could her guess be wrong?
When the Shadow Clone Xiao Tian appeared, Lady Mingzhu no longer had any doubts, but she had some new speculations.
"Is he one of your subordinates?"
" Xiao Brother Tian, could you teach me some self-defense techniques?" Hong Lian stared longingly at Xiao Tian's Shadow Clone.
"Just for this? Then come with me."
And so, Lady Mingzhu and Xiao Tian witnessed the scene that followed, while Hu Meiren went to prepare the ingredients and cook.
"Cut a watermelon in half, one half for you and one half for me..." Xiao Tian 'Shadow Clone led Princess Hong Lian in performing Tai Chi.
"Is this really kung fu?" Lady Mingzhu was a little confused.
"Impressive skills!" Xiao Tian clapped his hands.
Hong Lian couldn't help but roll her eyes.
" Xiao Brother Tian, don't try to fool me! What kind of self-defense technique is this!"
Xiao Tian Shadow Clone silent, continuing his slow-motion Tai Chi, but the next second he suddenly sped up, his palm strikes fierce and powerful, like a tidal wave, blasting a large palm print hole into a rockery three or four meters in front of him.
This is Taiji Palm.
"Wow, that's amazing! Xiao Brother Tian, please continue teaching me!" Hong Lian's beautiful eyes lit up.
Lady Mingzhu had sharp eyes and sneered inwardly. That palm strike was purely palm power, which could only be described as internal energy, and could not be considered Taiji Palm technique at all.
"My beauty, let's go for a walk first." Xiao Tian pulled Lady Mingzhu into his arms, reminding the pretty girl not to play with fire.
Arriving at the fishpond with Lady Mingzhu, Xiao Tian lowered his voice and said, "It seems I need to teach you some manners, otherwise you'll ruin my plans in the future."
Lady Mingzhu trembled and quickly begged for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, I was wrong."
Lady Mingzhu was truly frightened; she was filled with terror.
Is there a next time?
"Your Majesty, I dare not let it happen again."
"That's good. I don't want to lose my only beautiful collaborator." Xiao Tian gave Lady Mingzhu a gentle pat on the head to comfort her.
Upon hearing this, Lady Mingzhu felt reassured, realizing that Hu Meiren was merely a meal ticket, while she was the true capable assistant and partner to this gentleman.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty." Lady Mingzhu wrapped her arms around Xiao Tian's neck, her eyes filled with gratitude.
