Chapter 248 The shining white child(1/3)
In the Taixu Illusion Realm, a large wooden sign with a size of B was already surrounded by crowds.
Today, the most spectacular arenas set up by the Jiuxiao League in Bailu City. Not to mention the many people, the appearance of the arena is different from other places.
Most of the other are high platforms made of rocks. Only this place of grass is desolate and huge trees are shaded, like a small courtyard without a wall. On the grass with shade in the middle of the courtyard, two stools, a table, a chess board, two boxes of chess pieces, and two cups of tea are simply placed on the grass with shade in the middle of the courtyard.
If it weren't for the big banyan tree in the courtyard, there was a large wooden sign with the Jiuxiao logo and the character "B", I'm afraid no one would think this was a ring.
"Old Yu, what if Mr. Li Bai doesn't come yet today?"
At the entrance of the ring courtyard, a servant from Jiuxiao suddenly came to a hunchbacked old man and said quietly.
"wait."
The hunchbacked old man said a word calmly.
"This...is not very good, my reputation..."
The attendant said with a bitter face.
The hunchbacked old man didn't say anything, but turned his head and looked at the attendant coldly. The attendant immediately shivered and said:
"I, I'll go and see if Mr. Li Bai is here."
The attendant fled in panic.
After glanced at the servant who was leaving, the hunchbacked old man put his hands into his cuffs, then turned around and glanced outside the barrier, and gradually began to watch with some commotion.
"I hope I read you right."
The hunchbacked old man withdrew his gaze and said to himself with a blank expression.
This hunchbacked old man is named Yu Tiangan. Everyone in Jiuxiao respectfully calls him Mr. Yu. This Mr. Yu is the person in charge of Jiuxiao in Bailu City. When Li Yunsheng first entered the Taixu Illusion Realm and participated in the battle competition, he was exactly what he met.
At that time, Li Yunsheng broke through the realm twice in the Taixu Illusion Realm, and defeated his opponent Qiu Laosan neatly, which made the hunchbacked old man's eyes lit up.
However, after that, Li Yunsheng did not come to participate in the competition on the ring for a long time, but instead made a big noise at Lanke Academy.
Until a month ago, Yu Tiangan met Li Yunsheng again. To be precise, Li Yunsheng specially found Yu Tiangan.
Yu Tiangan was also shocked when he heard Li Yunsheng's purpose.
Because this young man with the pseudonym Li Bai told him that he wanted to challenge the people who played chess all over the world, and then asked him if he could let Jiuxiao set up a stage for him.
Jiuxiao has not done it before when taking chess as a competition, but it is definitely the first time in Bailu City.
Yu Tiangan still remembered the question he asked the boy named Li Bai at that time:
"How much do you think you have a chance of winning?"
And the young man told him calmly: "90%."
Yu Tiangan was shocked. He also played chess in his spare time. Everyone who played chess knows what the winning rate is of 90% of all the people who played chess in the ten states.
Although he had a good impression of the boy, the answer of 90% winning rate still made him feel a little arrogant.
But similarly, Li Yunsheng's answer made him see business opportunities. A young man claimed to have a 90% chance of winning against a chess player in Shizhou, which is an excellent selling point in itself.
So although he felt that Li Yunsheng was a little arrogant, Yu Tiangan still agreed to Li Yunsheng and helped him set up this arena in the name of Jiuxiao.
Originally, Yu Tiangan was not too sad about this matter, but the development of the situation in the next nearly a month caught him off guard.
This young man named Li Bai has never lost a single game since the first game!
The winning rate is even far more than 90% as he said. Although the disciples of the Langke Chess Academy did not participate in the competition, Yu Tiangan learned through some special means that at least ten of the chess players who challenged Li Yunsheng this month had made it to the Langke List, and one or two were still on the Langke List.
But facing these people, the boy named Li Bai still seemed to be crushing and winning.
The death of chess snob Cao Yeming made the development of this matter truly exceed Yu Tiangan's control.
The arena, which was originally set up for a little personal affair, suddenly began to attract attention from the entire ten states. This time, even the leader of the Jiuxiao Alliance personally asked someone to send a message to Yu Tiangan, and he must do this well.
This was an unexpected surprise for Yu Tiangan, because he didn't have to think about it, and he knew that as long as this matter was done well, Jiuxiao's reputation would be established, and it would not take long for him to leave the small place of Bailucheng.
So the original small arena became the exaggerated appearance today.
But the luxurious ring was set up, but Li Bairen disappeared, which made Yu Tiangan feel a little bitterly smiled.
Fortunately, he is not so concerned about gains and losses. He may even think that it is right for this young man named Li Bai to not come. If Li Bai had some background, it would be better if he had no background, the situation would be difficult for him to end. After all, the ones who challenged him from now on are no longer those ordinary people. For these people, it is not easy to end if they lose or win or lose.
"Is this how you Jiuxiao let the guests wait?"
"It's been three days, and Li Bai won't come again. You Jiuxiao must give us an explanation!"
Finally, outside the barrier, someone was impatient to wait and started yelling.
Yu Tiangan looked at the crowd without saying anything, but just thought to himself:
"If you don't come today, you'll end the ring."
Money is second. Jiuxiao’s investment this time is not much, but it may ruin its reputation. After all, it will make people all over the world laugh at it.
"Old Yu! Old Yu! Here, here!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice from Yu Tiangan came from the crowd outside the barrier.
He looked up with some surprise and found an inconspicuous boy waving at him desperately in the crowd, and this person was Li Bai who had made him wait for a long time.
Seeing this, he didn't ask anything more, and walked directly to the barrier, then walked through the ring and pulled Li Yunsheng up from the crowd.
"You're finally here."
Pulling Li Yunsheng into the barrier, Yu Tiangan said with a hint of joy.
"Why are there so many people today?"
Li Yunsheng touched the sweat on his forehead and asked in confusion.
After he arrived at Taixu Illusion Realm, he originally wanted to follow the familiar road to the ring, but he did not expect that the originally simple ring suddenly changed a lot, and the surrounding area of the ring was surrounded, so he squeezed into it to reminisce.
"You don't know yet?"
Yu Tiangan asked with a wry smile.
"What do you know?"
Li Yunsheng looked puzzled.
"I have something to do at home these days, and I have never had time to come here and I don't have time to inquire about the news outside."
He added.
If Yu Tiangan knew that there had been a "climbing the sky cloud" hanging above Li Yunsheng's "home" these days, he would have understood why Li Yunsheng could not hear the news outside.
"Speak while walking."
He pulled Li Yunsheng to the edge of the chessboard on the arena.
"So the one named Cao Yeming is really Cao Yeming, a chess slut in Changzhou."
After hearing Yu Tiangan's words, Li Yunsheng looked surprised.
"What a pity, he is actually very powerful."
He shook his head and said with a pity.
Seeing this, Yu Tiangan smiled bitterly and said to himself: "What's the use of saying this now?"
"So many people are waiting for you, so you can say a few words, and we will start after that."
He glanced at Li Yunsheng and said.
"Say a few words..."
After looking at the dark heads below, Li Yunsheng was stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked to the center of the ring and bowed to everyone below the stage:
"I am Li Yun...Li Bai! I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Many of the people below had never seen Li Yunsheng. They just saw Li Yunsheng whispering with Yu Tiangan and were a little suspicious. At this time, Li Yunsheng stood up and confirmed that he was Li Bai. The audience was immediately in an uproar.
Immediately, spies from various state and prefecture families lurking in the crowd began to pass messages home.
For a moment, many places in the Immortal Palace of the Ten Prefectures outside the Taixu Illusion Realm began to become lively.
One after another, the news came back to the chess academies, and the other people who were concerned about this matter.
After waiting for three days, the Li Bai, who was playing chess sucking chess, died, finally came back.
In the courtyard of Luchai Academy in Changzhou, Xu Youyou came out of the Taixu Illusion Realm again. She looked at her grandfather Xu Shen with joy and said, "Here's here, the one named Li Bai is here."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shen let out a long sigh, then waved his hand, and a stream of light flashed through the courtyard, and a formation barrier stood up in the courtyard.
"Youyou, we should be the last one to play. Don't rush in. Take a break first. When playing chess later, you must remember not to misjudgment the position."
Xu Shen sat on the edge of the chessboard with a serious expression on his face.
"Come on, I'll send you a true energy first. The Jiuxiao will definitely set up a barrier to prevent you and me from sending messages. At that time, my true energy will help you break through the barrier."
He pressed a finger on Xu Youyou's forehead.
"Um."
Xu Youyou nodded obediently.
