I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master

The Imperial Palace of the Great Xia.

“I heard that Third Brother once beat the Divination Chessboard left behind by the Carefree Grand Sage. He even shocked Wang Yuyan of the Brahma Holy Land, Yu Hongye of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, and a group of cultivators. Is this for real? I am very curious. I hope that Third Brother can answer my questions.”

“Imperial Brother, of course it’s true. He still has the Divination Chessboard that the Carefree Grand Sage used to trap and kill the Immortals. I even saw him use it a few days ago. The power of that chessboard really makes me envious.”

“Oh? Interesting. Third Brother is really amazing. I thought that the clay figurine I obtained from a Senior was amazing enough, but I didn’t expect you to have something even better. It seems that we have underestimated you in the past. Today is an auspicious day. Third Brother, why don’t you take out the Divination Chessboard and let us all have a look?”

“Imperial Brother is right. Third Brother, let us all have a look!”

Li Xuanmen’s expression was gloomy. He looked at the group of Imperial Brothers who were dressed in luxurious imperial clothing. His face alternated between green and white. He clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were about to burst.

Although he knew that those people were teasing him on purpose, he was unable to vent his anger.

Who asked him to cheat in the exquisite chess game?

At this moment, an old Daoist in white who had been silent all this time said calmly, “I didn’t expect that the Third Prince would have such a treasure like the Divination Chessboard. Speaking of which, our Starlight Sect has some connections with the Carefree Grand Sage.”

“The founder of the Starlight Sect came from the Dao Constellation Palace, which was left behind by the Carefree Grand Sage. The Divination Chessboard is a treasure of the founder. As a junior, I really want to see it.”

As soon as the white-robed elder finished speaking, a handsome young man with a golden head and a brocade robe next to him acted as if he was making a big deal out of nothing. “Hiss, I didn’t expect that the Starlight Sect and the Carefree Grand Sage would have such a relationship.”

After he finished speaking, that person used the folding fan in his hand to poke Li Xuanmen, and his tone became unfriendly.

“Hurry up, the Senior from the Starlight Sect has already said so. What are you waiting for? Don’t let outsiders think that the Great Xia’s imperial clan is full of stingy people. Hmph, if Third Brother is really that stingy, then I’ll have to report this to Imperial Father and take a good look at Third Brother. A person like you isn’t worthy of Imperial Father’s position.”

Li Xuanmen was so angry that the veins on his hands bulged out.

This group of people wanted to make a fool of him.

Li Xuanmen was very angry.

However, each of his Imperial Brothers had greater power and influence than him. He could not afford to offend the Starlight Sect’s Dharma Idol realm cultivator whom the Great Xia’s princes had invited.

The most outrageous thing was that his big brother actually took the opportunity to hit him, saying that he had to report this to Imperial Father.

Outrageous!

Li Xuanmen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said in a deep voice, “Brother, let me tell you one more time. The person who solved the Carefree Grand Sage’s chess game that day was not me, but someone else. And that Divination Chessboard is not in my hands now, but in the hands of that Senior.”

“Oh?”

After the white-robed old Daoist heard this, he smiled slightly and said calmly, “Then, can the Third Prince invite that expert over? The Starlight Sect is the most particular about using chess to enter the Dao. I have been immersed in the Dao of chess for thousands of years and have always yearned for the exquisite chess game created by the Carefree Grand Sage.”

“Since there is still a peerless expert in the Southern Region who can solve the exquisite chess game, I really want to consult that peerless expert.”

The people beside him also started to jeer.

“That’s right. Since that’s the case, Third Brother might as well go and invite that Senior expert over now.”

“Right, go now. Do you want me to lend you the flying boat?”

“Hahaha, Third Brother, why are you mute? You were quite talkative before.”

All kinds of laughter rang in Li Xuanmen’s ears.

Li Xuanmen was embarrassed and indignant. He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. He held a messenger talisman tightly in his hand.

He wanted to invite that Senior Liu.

However, he could not and did not dare to invite that peerless expert.

That Senior had already given him a lot of face by helping him break the chess game. Li Xuanmen felt that he did not have the face to invite Senior Liu again.

However, if he could really invite Senior Liu, Senior Liu would definitely be able to ruthlessly smash the face of that bullsh*t old Daoist and the princes.

Li Xuanmen sighed.

“It looks like Third Brother doesn’t want to bring us to meet that expert. I’m puzzled. What’s wrong with Third Brother?”

“Sigh, Big Brother, you don’t know this. Third Brother looks down on us laymen and feels that we don’t deserve to meet that senior expert. That’s a chess player who can break the exquisite chess game. Of course, Third Brother will look down on us. However, that Senior expert was probably made up by Third Brother. Otherwise, why would Third Brother hide it?”

The well-dressed youth deliberately dragged out the tone of the words ‘Senior expert’, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Even the white-robed old Daoist couldn’t hold it in anymore. He clutched his stomach and laughed. “If there really is such an expert, Third Prince, please make sure to introduce him. However, this old man has a doubtful attitude towards this.”

The old Daoist stroked his white beard and said, “Patriarch Carefree has exceptional talent. The exquisite chess game he created can trap and kill Immortals. It’s not something a mortal can solve. Nonsense, it’s the biggest joke in the world! Hmph, it’s clearly something made up out of thin air.”

Li Xuanmen was expressionless.

He knew that unless he could really invite Senior Liu, it would be useless for him to say anything.

He wanted to tell him that the Divination Chessboard did not move at all because it was destroyed the moment it was born. Furthermore, Senior Liu did not even want the Divination Chessboard.

Li Xuanmen listened to the mocking laughter that kept exploding in his ears. The veins on his body bulged, and the hand that was holding the talisman kept trembling.

He wanted to muster up the courage to send his spiritual sense in countless times, just like that time in the Carefree Grand Sage’s abode. He wanted to beg Senior Liu to guide him once more.

However, he did not dare.

He did not want to use other people’s names to cheat and be a villain fishing for fame anymore.

Therefore, no matter how those people mocked him, he would not say anything.

At this moment, Li Xuanmen felt the talisman in his hand shake.

Li Xuanmen was extremely surprised.

Could it be that Senior Liu had come?

Li Xuanmen felt that this was an impossible thing to happen. However, he was in the mood to give it a try and took out the talisman.

He saw that the small messenger talisman was flashing with a light that made him yearn for it.

Li Xuanmen shouted excitedly, “Senior Liu?”

The others were confused. Someone was about to ask Li Xuanmen when a huge aura suddenly came from the sky. Everyone’s expression changed.

“Not good, there are still two Dharma Idol cultivators.”

Soon, two figures appeared in the sky.

They were Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi.

Someone shouted at the white-robed old Daoist, “Senior, only you are a Dharma Idol realm cultivator…”
