Chapter 223 Meeting an Opponent in Chess

The delicious vegetarian meal made the academy disciples very satisfied, and then Master Liaofan led everyone to a Xiangfang courtyard.

There is a very tall ginkgo tree in this courtyard. Most of the golden leaves on its branches have fallen off, covering the ground with a thick layer, which is very eye-catching.

There are about ten incense rooms in the courtyard, which are enough for a group of academy disciples to stay.

As the eldest brother of the academy, Baiyunlou naturally has the right to choose a room first. Baiyunlou chose the one closest to the courtyard gate so that he can take care of his junior brothers and sisters more conveniently.

Xia Chaoyang chose a room next to his senior brother. When he saw the little fat man looking over with a smile, his face turned red and he turned around and entered the incense room. He glared at the little fat man when he entered.

The little fat man shivered with fright. Baiyunlou stepped forward, put his arm around the little fat man's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Feiyang, would you like to stay with me, senior brother? We haven't had a good chat in a few days."

The little fat man was immediately moved and wanted to respond casually.

Suddenly there was a cold snort in his ears, and the little fat man said quickly: "Senior Brother, you guard the gate here, and I will guard the gate on the other side. After all, the safety of the junior brothers and sisters is the most important."

After saying that, he rushed into the incense room opposite. Baiyunlou looked at Xiao Xiyue's door, shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Dongfang Ziyan went to the incense room next to Junior Sister Xia's. Before entering, she looked at each other and nodded slightly to her senior brother.

With this junior sister of extraordinary strength standing on the other side of Xiao Xiyue, Baiyunlou couldn't help but relax a lot.

At this time, an elder from the Xuanling Sect walked in from outside the courtyard, greeted Baiyunlou and then walked towards Miss Caiwei.

However, before the elder could ask a few questions, Caiwei sent him away impatiently, murmuring: "It's so much fun here in the academy..."

After saying that, he called to the little cloud-swallowing beast that was still rolling on the thick ginkgo leaves, and led him into the incense room next to Dongfang Ziyan.

The other academy students had finished their assignments. Nangong Xiaojing took Xiaoxi to the room on the second brother's side and let senior brother Bai Zhan live in the next room, saying that it would be convenient to use illusions to help break through the residual formation of the Sea of ​​Knowledge.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Xuan stayed in two fragrant rooms separately, which surprised Baiyunlou slightly.

Turning around, I saw the rather outgoing junior sister Lanzhi rushing to the door of a fragrance room in a few steps, as if she was quite eager.

I thought there was something urgent, but when I saw his eyes twinkling, I glanced a few more times at Junior Brother Bai Zhan's room next door. Baiyunlou couldn't help but understand a little bit, and sighed in his heart. Sure enough, it was all the feelings of his children.

Then I thought about it, as if I was still young. I laughed, turned around, walked to the door of my room, and shouted to one side: "A junior brother and sister are here to play chess..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chaoyang's crisp voice came out: "Elder brother, here you are, wait for me..."

There was a panicked sound, and then the door opened and Xia Chaoyang rushed out.

Seeing that his bun was messy, he took it off as soon as he returned to the room and spread out his hair. Hearing his senior brother's call, he quickly tidied up and ran out of the room.

Baiyunlou chuckled and pulled his junior sister into the room.

"Brother, where is the chessboard?" Xia Chaoyang asked doubtfully after lighting two oil lamps.

"Oh, junior sister came too fast. I haven't prepared anything yet. I'll wait for senior brother to borrow a pair...hehe, the chessboard is here."

While talking, Baiyunlou opened the door. Dongfang Ziyan was standing at the door holding a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces.

After letting Junior Sister Dongfang into the room, there was a chill outside. Baiyunlou closed the door and took out the spirit gathering array from the sea of ​​consciousness barrier. He activated it and a warmth suddenly filled the entire incense room.

At this time, there was an exclamation outside.

"Ah, it's so warm..."

"Elder brother must have activated the spirit gathering array.

Now I can have a peaceful sleep..."

"We are all monks, why should we sleep? There is a lot of spiritual energy here, and the cultivation conference will be held in the future, so why not practice quickly?"

"There are senior brothers and sisters..."

"Hurry back to your room to rest or practice. Senior Brother said, let's relax for a day tomorrow and play around inside and outside the temple..." This was the voice of the little fat man.

"Okay, Senior Brother Feiyang."

…

Sitting in front of the desk, Baiyunlou sighed in a low voice: "These days, Feiyang has become a bit like a senior brother. If one day I go out to travel as a senior brother, Feiyang can be on his own."

"Senior brother, where are you going to travel?" Xia Chaoyang quickly answered and asked.

"Let's wait until next year. After studying in the academy for one year, I have a mission to travel. Let's see where the academy arranges to go."

Xia Chaoyang immediately beamed: "It will be great after the new year. I will definitely go back to the academy by then, just in time to catch up."

Seeing that Junior Sister Dongfang had already laid out the chess board and put away the chess box, Baiyunlou invited Xiao Xiyue to concentrate on playing chess together.

Usually when three people play chess together, Baiyunlou and Dongfang Ziyan play chess, while Xia Chaoyang gives guidance to senior brother.

When it comes to playing chess, Baiyunlou has never been too lazy to think about it. He just relies on his feelings and makes moves as he pleases. Junior Sister Xia is even more casual, so there is almost not much suspense every time, and they will soon be defeated.

Although they often lose in chess games, Bai Yunlou and Junior Sister Xia don't care, and they often marvel at Dongfang Ziyan's improved chess skills.

The three games ended hastily, and the two lost the chess game very cleanly. Dongfang Ziyan stood up as if satisfied, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is still not in good condition today. I will talk to him another day."

After saying that, he bowed lightly and turned around to go out. After going out, Dongfang Ziyan gently closed the door and did not return to the room. She escaped and went directly to the top of the mountain.

Sensing that Junior Sister Dongfang's aura was far away, Baiyunlou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Xiao Xiyue, whose face was slightly red under the shadow of the lamp opposite, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face gently.

"Junior sister, shall we play another game?" Baiyunlou said with a smile.

"Just do it, I'm still afraid of senior brother..." But his voice became softer and softer.

The two of them sat across from each other at the table and got up absentmindedly. Sure enough, they met their opponents in chess. After half a stick of incense, the chess game on the table was already in chaos.

Too lazy to count the black and white numbers, Baiyunlou said softly: "Junior sister, it's already dark, so let's not play chess. Looking at the chess game, if we play again it will probably end in a draw."

"Listen to senior brother..."

With a smile, Baiyunlou raised his hand and took the chessboard and chess box in front of him into the consciousness sea barrier. As if by accident, he also took in the table in front of him.

Xia Chaoyang, who was lying lazily on the desk, let out a soft exclamation and rushed forward, just in time to fall into the arms of his senior brother.

Baiyunlou gently hugged Junior Sister Xia, who was blushing with embarrassment, and said softly: "Junior Sister, be careful, don't fall..."

Xia Chaoyang buried his head in his senior brother's arms and replied dully: "Okay, senior brother."

There is no way, the little flower spirit in Xia Chaoyang's sea of ​​consciousness cannot detect the outside world without the consent of the little master, but the general sound of the outside world can still be heard.

If Baiyun Tower relied on its magical power to isolate the outside world, Xiao Xiyue's soul would have to practice for half an hour more every day with Xiao Hua Ling's temper.

Therefore, during this period of time, the two of them have been fighting wits and courage with the little flower spirit, but they never tire of it.

Under the shadow of the flickering lamp, Baiyunlou gently pushed aside Xiao Xiyue's silky hair. Looking at his junior sister's beautiful face, he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her.
