Why do I have so many masters?-Chapter 581 - 211: Horizontal! (7000 words in a big - )

The female disciple, whose palm was ceaselessly toyed with by Yuchi Jie, blushed with embarrassment.

Most of the Baiyang Sword Sect were young swordsmen with a masculine edge. They had never seen a noble scion with Yuchi Jie's flirtatious demeanor and fought to pull back their hands. However, Yuchi Jie applied a bit more force, preventing her from withdrawing and took the opportunity to cop a feel, all while clicking his tongue in appreciation.

He praised her fingers and palms for being delicate and white, as soft as jade, and a rare treasure in this world, causing the girl's face to flush even redder.

The one matching wits with Yuchi Jie was a young swordsman, the third disciple of Liu Qizheng, highly skilled in martial arts, and quite handsome. He was usually quite arrogant.

Seeing his junior sister's shy face and unable to protest, he felt a surge of frustration building within, struggling to settle down. He clenched his teeth in secret irritation and couldn't help but let out a cold snort. Yuchi Jie, however, didn't care in the slightest, continuing to chat with the young girl, which only further aggravated the young man.

Liu Qizheng, observing from a distance, kept a calm and composed expression. It seemed he had forgotten that the girl, who was taken advantage of, had once been praised by him for her light and unique sword skills. His own disciple had expressed his admiration for the girl several times before him, but Liu Qizheng was just growing more scornful of Yuchi Jie.

A disciple returned to his side, and Liu Qizheng waved his hand, signaling the disciple to silently follow him.

Liu Qizheng turned to glance at Yuchi Jie once more, walked a few dozen steps away, and then allowed the disciple to report back.

Although he had already believed seven parts of what Yuchi Jie said, he himself was extremely cautious by nature and disdained the gambler's saying, "First calm it, then ponder it, act only when you have a five or six parts certainty."

He had sent several people to the Red Cliff Sect to inquire, and this person was the third.

Liu Qizheng asked in a gentle voice:

"How did it go?"

The trusted disciple's face showed a hint of fear as he replied:

"As always, the answers were evasive. The first two times, their attitude was normal, but this time I vaguely felt hostility from the Red Cliff Sect members, especially from Yue Hongzhe, who was on the verge of killing."

"Had I not sensed something wrong, I might have been forced to stay there."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qizheng's expression grew solemn, and he waved his hand:

"You may go down. Do not discuss this with anyone else."

"As you command, Elder."

After dismissing the disciple, Liu Qizheng's expression fluctuated, indecisive and uneasy. Even though there should have been a conclusion by now, he felt hesitant. After a moment's thought, he slowly walked towards the carefree and unrestrained Yuchi Jie.

As he approached, he just happened to see Yuchi Jie embrace the girl, but instead of anger, he laughed:

"Young Master Yuchi truly knows how to live in style."

Yuchi Jie looked up at Liu Qizheng, one hand caressing the girl's supple waist and chuckled:

"How can I deserve such praise from my senior?"

Liu Qizheng smiled, his eyes falling on the chessboard to see his disciple at a great loss. He softly exclaimed in surprise. His third disciple was usually superior in chess, almost unbeatable among his peers in the Baiyang Sword Sect, yet he had been easily defeated by this scion, so he half-jokingly praised:

"Young Master Yuchi plays a good game of chess."

Yuchi Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, saying:

"Just a pastime when one has nothing better to do."

"Would Elder Liu care to play a game with me?"

Liu Qizheng smiled:

"Since the young master has invited, how could I refuse? Please..."

With the Elder's command, naturally, a disciple would tidy up the scattered pieces on the chessboard. However, they ignored the girl's silent plea for help, instead carrying on a casual conversation with Yuchi Jie. Once the pieces were collected, however, there was a snag.

Go involves nineteen lines, and traditionally, the player with the black stones makes the first move. Yuchi Jie, as the junior, reached for the white stones, but Liu Qizheng also reached for the white stone container, beating him to it and tangling his hand on top of Yuchi Jie's.

Yuchi Jie, unperturbed, withdrew his hand and chuckled:

"I'm the junior here; it's only right to give precedence to the Elder."

Liu Qizheng shook his head and said, "There's no reason for a senior to take advantage of a junior. In this game, I shall play white, and the young master black, going first."

Yuchi Jie narrowed his eyes and responded:

"Then I must thank the Elder for his generosity."

He then took the black stones, while Liu Qizheng, holding white, reached into the container and picked up a piece, absentmindedly fiddling with it.

In that brief contact of their palms, Inner Strength flowed through Yuchi Jie's body, and he noticed the young man before him had only Ninth Grade strength. However, the air of nobility about him was unmistakable, and it was clear he held an extraordinary position.

Thinking of having such a person at his mercy calmed his nerves considerably.

Otherwise, with his personality, he would certainly investigate further, but now he simply smiled comfortably and said:

"Young Master Yuchi, please make your move."

Yuchi Jie responded with a laugh:

"Then I shall not be ungracious."

Taking a stone, he played his move confidently at the Tian Yuan spot.

Liu Qizheng frowned slightly. Even in a battle for supremacy on the chessboard, he was very cautious, pinching a black stone and playing a conventional opening move at the edge of the board. Yuchi Jie's second move was also a standard approach to the edge.

The move at Tian Yuan seemed to hold little significance.

After a few moves, Liu Qizheng smiled and said:

"Young master's opening move is quite novel, although it might waste the advantage of moving first. Are you perhaps letting me win on purpose?"

Yuchi Jie laughed, "Not at all, not at all."

"One should stride down the broad road without fear of anyone blocking the way, and that's how a true man should conduct himself. Placing a piece at Tian Yuan embodies such a bold spirit, and that is what I like the most."

Liu Qizheng could not help but chuckle.

He made his move.

The female disciple watched with wide eyes, while the young swordsman who had been filled with resentment looked on with a hint of schadenfreude.
