Within the wind pavilion in the garden!
"The taste is not bad, right?" After putting down the teacup in his hand, Yu Haoran evaluated honestly.
"Prince Consort, from your beautiful words just now, Lan Xin thought you were an elegant scholar."
Seeing Yu Haoran taste the tea and the evaluation he gave, instantly destroying the beautiful thought in his heart, Lan Xin immediately had a unique feeling.
How should he put it!
This kind of feeling was completely different from those men who usually pursued and fawned over her. It was true and not hypocritical, giving others the urge to get close to her.
However, when she thought about how her hard work in brewing fragrant tea was only able to get a decent evaluation, she felt a trace of displeasure in her heart.
Therefore, she used a rather reserved tone to slightly complain.
"But the result is somewhat out of my expectations."
Although Lan Xin's expression was more reserved, Yu Haoran could guess the truest thoughts in her heart.
It was nothing more than rude and indecent!
Even though he didn't care much about this, he didn't want to ruin the beautiful image he had of her in his heart.
Thus, the following words were both a form of explanation and a form of helplessness.
"The pursuit of martial arts, alchemy, and array dao has left me powerless. For something as subservient and elegant as tasting tea, even though I have no heart, I am still powerless."
"Prince Consort, please do not misunderstand. Xin`er does not have any intention of looking down on you."
After hearing Yu Haoran's explanation, or perhaps speaking of helplessness, Lan Xin immediately recalled that this boy who was not even older than him was not a simple person.
Not only was his cultivation and strength not inferior to his, he was also a grandmaster of the peak of the alchemy dao, as well as a grandmaster of array formations.
To be able to achieve such outstanding results in martial dao, alchemy, and array dao at the same time was already far surpassing all geniuses of the same age in this world.
If he continued to ask for the other party's perfection in terms of life and interests, then it would be unbefitting of him.
Therefore, when he thought about how he had used a reserved tone to complain when he was dissatisfied with Yun Che's evaluation earlier, Lan Xin immediately and anxiously explained.
Shaking his head, he signaled Lan Xin not to speak, and his gaze landed on the chess board and the chess pieces placed on the stone table.
After that, he reached out and took out two chess pieces, and then, he placed one on the center plate and one on the corner. Then, he looked up at Lan Xin and asked.
"Lan Xin, in the position of the two chess pieces, who is more important?"
"Of course it's the black game that occupies the center."
Forget about Lan Xin who was an expert in zither, chess and painting, even a person who was slightly knowledgeable would know that the two pieces in different locations had different meanings.
Therefore, facing Yu Haoran's previous question, Lan Xin felt a little baffled.
"Then, why did Black Chess occupy the center? And why was White Chess placed in the side?" Yu Haoran continued to ask.
"Of course it's because of you!" Such a simple question immediately made Lan Xin answer with a bitter smile.
"Why am I able to control the fate of these two chess pieces?" Ignoring Lan Xin's bitter smile, Yu Haoran continued to ask.
"Because they are only chess pieces!" Lan Xin continued to answer with a bitter smile.
"That's right!"
Nodding, Yu Haoran said with a taunting tone.
"It is because they are just chess pieces that their fates can only be controlled by me!"
Then he pointed to the board.
"Lan Xin, the Profound Sky Continent is just like this chess board, we are just like the black and white chess pieces on the board. Don't look at how we are right now, living well and free, but we are actually just a bunch of chess pieces being manipulated by others."
"This!"
Yu Haoran's analogy from before allowed Lan Xin to gradually come to his senses. He understood that although his actions earlier seemed strange, they actually contained a very deep truth.
"How can the two black and white chess pieces escape their fate of being manipulated?"
"This!" Yu Haoran's question caused Lan Xin's expression to become more and more serious.
"There's only one way!"
After saying that, Yu Haoran reached out and picked up the two black and white chess pieces, and used his spirit energy to create illusions of himself and Lan Xin.
"That is to rely on your martial arts to break free from the shackles of fate, to completely separate yourself from the status of a chess piece and become an existence that is not controlled by the chessboard."
With his consciousness controlling the chess pieces, he transformed them into, sat on the stone chairs, and started to play chess.
"They even eventually became the players who controlled the other pieces on the board."
Faced with the example and analogy of Yu Haoran playing the chess piece's fate, Lan Xin stared fixedly at the chess piece's transformed version of herself, and did not speak for a long time.
Looking at the Lan Xin who was lost in thought, Yu Haoran heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, she stood up and left the wind pavilion, leaving her with some time to think on her own.
Actually, the example about the fate of the chess pieces seemed simple, but it actually contained profound truths.
If he could pass through the fate of the chess pieces and strengthen his own heart of martial arts, Lan Xin's future fate would definitely undergo a tremendous change.
A lucky chance to have a firm heart of martial arts gave her a different life in the future. This was to repay the guilt from his previous life about escaping from his emotions.
"Prince Consort, can you come to the meeting hall?"
Just as Yu Haoran quietly left the wind pavilion and came to the grassland where Black Bear was sleeping, and was about to bend his knees to meditate, he suddenly heard Lan Weixiong's request.
Nodding his head, Yu Haoran casually threw down a few chess pieces, following Lan Weixiong's instructions, he quickly arrived at the conference hall.
When he walked to the entrance of the Great Assembly Hall and saw the old man in green, whose face was gloomy, he could roughly guess why Lan Weixiong had invited him here.
"Prince Consort, please come in!" Seeing Yu Haoran standing at the entrance of the Great Assembly Hall, Lan Weixiong quickly got up to greet him.
"Subordinate Qi Liyong greets Prince Consort!"
At the same time, a high-ranking officer in armor stood to the west of the hall as he knelt down in salute.
Only the old man leaning on the chair didn't even bat an eyelid, let alone stand up to greet him.
With his hands cupped together, Yu Haoran turned to the kneeling Qi Li Yong and gently instructed.
"General Qi, please get up, there's no need to be so polite when you see me in the future!"
As for the azure-clothed old man that was sitting on the chair, he too chose to ignore him.
"Prince Consort, please sit!" When Qi Li Yong stood up, Lan Weixiong pointed at the throne in the main hall and said.
According to the Great Qin Empire's rules of etiquette, with her status as a Prince Consort, she could sit down peacefully in front of the seat of honor that belonged to the City Lord. However, it was also easy to cause disputes, depending on whether or not someone was intentionally against him.
So, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Yu Haoran shook his head and at the same time rejected, he went straight to the point.
"Mayor Lan, there's no need to sit. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Since Yu Haoran was unwilling to sit, Lan Weixiong felt too embarrassed to sit, so he could only stand beside him and explain in detail the reason for inviting him to the meeting hall.
