C79 Qing Kang Ping's Strategy

At this moment, Qing Kangping was also frowning slightly within the carriage.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chu Tian, but I let you get involved as well. I think he must have vented his anger on you because of me." Qing Kangping said.

"That's fine, but this Crown Prince is far from being as good as you, Mr. Kangping." Chu Tian said without hesitation. He didn't care about politics at all, so naturally, he would do whatever he said.

Upon hearing Chu Tian's words, Qing Kangping smiled. He also understood Chu Tian's temperament.

"My big brother is not as simple as he looks. The reason why he acts like a playboy... He has already won over many civil and military officials. I'm afraid that Father has also seen through his talent. " Qing Kangping said. However, when he mentioned this matter, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

If it was talent, then Qing Kangping was also a man of great talent. However, in terms of bloodline, his elder brother was above him. As the Third Prince, it would be even more disadvantageous for him to compete for the throne.

"By the way, who is this Second Prince? I don't think I have heard much about him until now." Chu Tian asked curiously.

"Liu doesn't seem to have any expectations for the throne. He has been focusing on his cultivation and often goes into seclusion. That's why I rarely see him, but even so, his cultivation talent has been greatly praised by my father. He's also an existence that can't be ignored. " Qing Kangping said.

Chu Tian could also see the unfavorable situation of Qing Kangping. In the competition for the throne, blood relations were very important. Although Qing Kangping also had supporters, it was not enough to change the overall situation. No wonder Qing Kangping wanted to win over Pill Cauldron Sword Sect to support him.

While they were talking, the Grand Preceptor's Mansion had already appeared in front of the three of them.

"Please inform the Grand Preceptor that Qing Kangping and Chu Tian have come to pay their respects." Qing Kangping instructed the servants at the entrance.

Even though he was the Third Prince, he didn't dare to mess around in the Grand Preceptor's estate. This showed how obvious Xu Yi's identity was in Cloud Rising Country.

That servant was also a man who knew how to read people's expressions. He could tell that Qing Kangping's Qi wasn't extraordinary. Therefore, he hurriedly entered the mansion to report. In a short while, the latter had come out once again. At this moment, the servant's expression was even more respectful than before.

"Please follow me." The servant respectfully led the way for the three of them.

Upon entering the Grand Preceptor's estate, Chu Tian could feel the difference between this place and other places. Within this estate, there was the fragrance of books.

This kind of fragrance was invisible to outsiders, but they could still feel it. Once one entered the Grand Preceptor's estate, he would be able to calm his heart down. If one could cultivate in such a place, it would be a great treasure.

The reason why this kind of fragrance appeared was probably because of Grand Master Xu Yi. He had heard that Xu Yi had been teaching his disciples here for a long time and had accumulated this kind of fragrance.

A mansion like this was impervious to all evils, and this was where the Morality of the Heavens and Earth was.

"The three of you, the old master is waiting for you in the study. This lowly one will be leaving first. " The servant brought Chu Tian and the others to a quiet room and respectfully left. There was a peach forest in front of the door. It was supposed to be winter, but the peach blossoms were indeed blooming here. It was pleasing to the eyes.

Although they had already arrived in front of the study, Qing Kangping did not dare to push the door open and enter. Instead, he waited quietly outside.

"Since you are here, come in. You are all important guests. There is no need to be so worried."

At this moment, a voice came from inside the study. It was Grand Master Xu Yi. After that, the three of them pushed the door open and entered.

At this moment, Xu Yi was practicing calligraphy with a pen in his hand. Chu Tian glanced at the words in the book. The writing was vigorous and powerful, and it was just a square word. Chu Tian could see the endless heaven and earth from it.

It seemed like it was just as he thought. This Grand Master Xu Yi was only a step away from becoming a sage.

"The Grand Preceptor has come to make a hasty visit. I apologize for my rudeness." Qing Kangping said.

"Third Prince, you're being too harsh on me. I, on the other hand, am unable to go out and welcome the three of you. Please forgive me." Xu Yi said.

After that, Qing Kangping and Grand Master Xu Yi had a discussion. They did not mention anything about Qing Lianer's marriage at all. Qing Lianer, who was standing by the side, could not help but feel somewhat anxious. However, even she did not dare to interrupt the Grand Preceptor's words.

"Grand Preceptor, the two of us haven't played chess for a long time. Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to play a game?" Qing Kangping suddenly changed the topic.

Xu Yi was obviously very interested when he heard this. He stroked his beard and smiled.

"Since Third Prince is interested, this old man naturally won't refuse. I have also gained something from chess in the past few days. It's a good opportunity to spar with Third Prince." Xu Yi said.

Qing Kangping also had a smile on his face. Soon after, the chessboard was placed on the table. The two of them sat opposite each other.

Chu Tian glanced at Qing Kangping. Since the latter had suggested this at this moment, it was obvious that he had other plans.

"Grand Preceptor, I have a suggestion. Why don't the two of us make a small bet? The loser will agree to a moral thing. What do you think?" Qing Kangping said.

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Qing Kangping, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Since Third Prince is interested in this, although I don't agree with gambling... A small bet is a big gamble, but it will hurt your body. This small bet is not a big deal. It seems like the Third Prince's chess skills have improved. I'll wait and see. " Xu Yi said.

"Although the Grand Preceptor believes that I have a rough understanding of chess, this time, it is not me who will play this game. It is Mr. Chu who will play it." Qing Kangping said.

At this moment, Chu Tian also had a puzzled expression. He did not think that Qing Kangping would push him out.

"Mr. Kangping, let me tell you something first. I don't know anything about chess." Chu Tian said.

"Mr. Chu, it doesn't matter. It's just a small bet after all. It's not a big deal. Besides, I think Mr. Chu will be able to master it easily." Qing Kangping looked at Chu Tian and said.

Chu Tian was slightly stunned when he saw Qing Kangping's eyes. After that, he could only nod his head. He understood that Qing Kangping would never joke about his sister's matter. Since the latter asked him to play chess, I'm afraid there's something else.

"If that's the case, then junior will come and experience the Grand Preceptor's chess skills." Chu Tian said.

"Grand Preceptor, although this is Brother Chu Tian's first time playing chess, you should show respect to your opponent. I think you will also do your best, Grand Preceptor." Qing Kangping said.

"Of course. I have never held back even when playing chess with His Majesty. We will be treated equally on the chessboard." Xu Yi said.

Qing Kangping smiled with satisfaction. He gave the seat to Chu Tian. Although he didn't quite understand what kind of medicine Qing Kangping was buying, he had already sat in front of the chessboard. Chu Tian had no choice but to give it his all.

However, Chu Tian didn't even know the rules of chess. At this moment, he could only try to follow the rules.

"Grand Preceptor, please hold your hand first. Although this is Mr. Chu's first time playing chess, you must not underestimate him." Qing Kangping said from the side.

Xu Yi looked at Chu Tian. He could tell that Chu Tian was indeed a newbie. But he had seen Chu Tian's extraordinary talent before, although the latter said he was a newbie. But it would be bad if there was a trick.

"Of course. I have already said that I will treat everyone equally. So, let me take the lead." Xu Yi said.

Chu Tian's eyes were fixed on Grand Master Xu Yi. Just as Grand Master Xu Yi was playing chess, Chu Tian's eyes lit up. The aura behind Xu Yi was quite powerful. Even though Xu Yi was just an ordinary person, this kind of aura still brought tremendous pressure to Chu Tian.

After seeing all of this, Chu Tian had already understood what Qing Kangping was thinking. Qing Kangping naturally didn't want him to defeat Xu Yi in terms of chess skills. Instead, he wanted him to defeat Xu Yi in terms of artistic conception.

Perhaps it was because Chu Tian had once sparred with Qing Kangping in sword arts, the latter understood that his realm was extraordinary, which was why he wanted Chu Tian to fight Xu Yi. This was also the only possibility that he had a chance of winning.

Since Chu Tian had already understood Qing Kangping's thoughts, he had also deeply understood Xu Yi. The latter was indeed an existence that was one step away from becoming a sage.

That terrifying pressure made Chu Tian feel like he couldn't breathe. It was likely that this was the reason why Qing Kangping couldn't defeat Xu Yi.

Xu Yi's strength was already natural in this world. Every blade of grass and tree had a chance to live. Compared to Qing Kangping's grand plan, it was even greater.

Chu Tian immediately counterattacked with his own will. His will to seek the Dao couldn't be destroyed.

At this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Tian and Xu Yi were quickly making their moves. Both of them were highly focused and had long abandoned their worldly possessions.
