The door was pushed open.
Jin Mulan supported a beautiful woman with a graceful figure as she walked in.
Lu Tianyu’s eyes lit up in the cabinet.
“Good girl, this woman is so beautiful!”
Lu Tianyu couldn’t help but secretly click his tongue.
This beautiful woman was obviously good at retaining her looks.
After all, just by looking at her appearance, she was only about thirty years old.
Standing next to Jin Mulan, they didn’t look like mother and daughter. Instead, they looked more like sisters.
However, Jin Mulan lacked a seductive charm that only mature women had.
Therefore, Lu Tianyu felt that this beautiful woman was more interesting than Jin Mulan.
“Mother, you’ll stay here for the night. I’ll go home and talk to Father,” said Jin Mulan.
Mulan’s mother nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll rest first.”
Jin Mulan left.
Mulan’s mother sighed.
Then she began to undress.
One by one, her clothes fell off.
Therefore, this made Lu Tianyu, who was in the cabinet, hesitate.
Should he look or not?
Lu Tianyu thought for a moment.
Then, he decisively chose to look.
Through the crack of the cabinet, Lu Tianyu saw a body that was as plump as jade. It appeared in his sight.
It made his nose bleed.
He thought to himself, ‘This woman’s figure is even better than Lin Xuening and Yang Diaochan!’
Lu Tianyu wiped the blood from his nose.
At this moment, Jin Mulan’s mother lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket. Perhaps she was too tired, but she fell asleep quickly.
Lu Tianyu felt lucky.
He quietly came out of the cabinet.
He glanced at the beautiful woman.
Only then did he quietly walk out.
‘Damn, I was scared to death.’
When he walked outside, Lu Tianyu heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his back was wet.
After all, the scene just now was indeed a little exciting.
Lu Tianyu raised his head.
At this moment, the bright moon was in the sky, casting down a bright light that was as clear as water.
Lu Tianyu pondered for a moment and walked to a place where no one was around. Then, he began to cultivate the Creation Martial Art, Coiling Dragon Technique.
He formed a fist with both of his palms, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated through his entire body according to his unique meridians.
A few hours later.
Lu Tianyu had a general grasp of the Coiling Dragon Technique. Then, he threw out a punch.
A fist light appeared, and a divine dragon roared faintly. It stirred up the surrounding spiritual energy and created a rustling wind.
Bang!
With a loud sound, the fist light flew like a dragon and landed on a big tree. In the blink of an eye, the big tree turned into pieces.
“It’s really terrifying!”
Lu Tianyu saw the power of the Coiling Dragon Technique and exclaimed in satisfaction.
In one night, this Coiling Dragon Technique was considered a small success. To have such power was already considered pretty good.
Lu Tianyu withdrew his fist.
At this time, the sky was already slightly dark. The eastern morning glow hung in the sky, bathing in the morning sun. Lu Tianyu returned to the military camp.
However, just as he returned to the military camp, Lu Tianyu was stopped by an officer.
“Zhang Sanpao, General Jin wants you to go over for a while,” the officer said.
Lu Tianyu nodded and walked straight into Jin Mulan’s tent.
Lu Tianyu cupped his hands and said, “Zhang Sanpao pays his respects to General Jin.”
Jin Mulan glanced at him and said, “Lu Tianyu, you don’t have to pretend anymore. His Majesty has already told me everything about you.”
Lu Tianyu was stunned and couldn’t help but laugh.
Then, he didn’t say any more nonsense and went straight to the point. “General Jin, what business do you have with me?”
“Do you know how to play chess?” Jin Mulan asked.
Lu Tianyu said, “I do.”
“How good are you?” Jin Mulan asked.
Lu Tianyu said, “It’s not worse than my drawing skills.”
“That’s great!”
Jin Mulan’s eyes lit up. She patted the table and said, “Today, you don’t have to train anymore. Just accompany me to do something.”
“What is it?” Lu Tianyu asked curiously.
Jin Mulan said, “We are all on the same side. I won’t hide it from you. His Majesty gave me a task not long ago. He wants me to ask Elder Zhou to come out.”
“However, Elder Zhou has retired from the Imperial Court for many years. He doesn’t care about the affairs of the world. It’s very difficult to ask him to come out.”
Lu Tianyu was very puzzled when he heard this. He asked, “Then what am I going to do?”
Jin Mulan said: “Elder Zhou’s old hobby in this life chess. I would like to suit his interests and take this Old Zhou out of the mountain.”
Lu Tianyu nodded, understanding.
…
Master Zhou, his real name is Zhou Airen.
He has served as Prime Minister for three dynasties and twice in the previous two.
He loved his people like a son, and was well-known in the Demon God Empire.
Mo Hanxing wanted to ask Zhou Airen to come out.
Firstly, the situation was too serious, so Mo Hanxing felt that it was difficult for him to do it alone.
Secondly, he wanted to use Elder Zhou’s reputation to win over the hearts of the people.
After all, Elder Zhou’s disciples were all over the world. This was a fact that many people in the Demon God Empire knew.
Hence, all sorts of things could be deduced. Inviting Elder Zhou out of the mountain was a must.
Five hundred kilometers away from the Imperial Capital.
There was a mountain.
This mountain was called Mount Hua.
Elder Zhou lived in seclusion at the foot of Mount Hua.
He lived a leisurely life of getting what he wanted.
Lu Tianyu and Jin Mulan arrived.
Elder Zhou was playing chess with an old man.
Jin Mulan and Lu Tianyu looked at each other and walked over silently.
They stood at the side and watched the black and white chess pieces on the board.
“Old Man Zhou, your chess skills are getting better and better.”
“I’ve lost this game again.”
The old man sighed.
Because the old man was wearing a bamboo hat, Jin Mulan and Lu Tianyu couldn’t see the old man’s face clearly.
However, his aura, which was as steady as a mountain, made Lu Tianyu and Jin Mulan doubt this person’s identity.
Moreover, a person who could play chess with Elder Zhou was definitely not an ordinary person.
“Hehe, everyone has their own strengths. You spend all your time studying painting skills while I spend all my time studying chess skills. How can there be any comparison?”
Elder Zhou stroked his long beard and smiled.
This game of chess ended just like that.
Lu Tianyu suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Black, you can’t be certain that you will lose.”
“Oh?”
Elder Zhou and the old man looked at the two people beside them.
“Little friend, do you know how to play chess?” Elder Zhou asked curiously.
Lu Tianyu nodded and said, “A little.”
The old man raised his head and asked, “You said that I won’t lose this game. Do you know how to play the next move?”
“Indeed,” Lu Tianyu answered.
“Grandpa Wu!”
At this moment, seeing the old man’s face, Jin Mulan immediately cried out in surprise.
“Grandpa Wu?”
Lu Tianyu was stunned. Why did a grandpa appear?
Jin Mulan was a little excited. She looked at the old man and said, “Senior, are you the Painting Sage, Daoist Wu’s Grandpa?”
“Oh, little girl, you know me?”
Daoist Wu was shocked. After all, there were not many young people who could recognize him.
Daoist Wu sized her up carefully. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise, “Are you the daughter of Jin Sandao, Royal Highness?”
Jin Mulan nodded and said excitedly, “Grandpa Wu, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“Haha, I really didn’t expect that after twenty years, Mulan would have grown up to be so graceful and graceful.”
Daoist Wu couldn’t help but laugh. Then, he looked at Lu Tianyu and sized him up. He said, “You should be Mulan’s husband, right? A handsome and talented man with a dignified bearing. Not Bad! You can accompany my Mulan.”
Lu Tianyu was ashamed.
This random love story came very suddenly.
When Jin Mulan heard it, her pretty face immediately turned red.
“Grandpa Wu, no, Mulan hasn’t gotten married yet,” Jin Mulan explained.
“Uh, then Grandpa said something wrong.”
Daoist Wu laughed.
Then, he looked at Lu Tianyu and said, “Young friend, can you really solve this game?”
Lu Tianyu said, “Yes!”
Daoist Wu was a little doubtful and looked at Elder Zhou.
Elder Zhou was also doubtful.
After all, Lu Tianyu looked really young.
This game was very complicated. Could he really solve it?
Obviously, Wu Daozi and Elder Zhou didn’t believe it.
Elder Zhou stroked his long beard and said, “Then little friend, continue playing on behalf of Elder Wu. This old man also wants to see how little friend can crack this old man’s chess game.”
