" Who exactly is this kid? He's not wearing the clothes of the Hundred Sword Valley..."
Jiang Kun watched Xiao Chen walking beside him, he could see Xiao Chen had some thoughts but it could be said that his condition was quite calm.
Xiao Chen was indeed in a dilemma and trying to get out of this situation, it never crossed his mind that the first time he left the Hundred Sword Valley without permission he would meet the Sect Leader, Jiang Kun.
Jiang Kun brought Xiao Chen to a location that was still on the banks of the Jade Grass River, there was a stone table and chair. Xiao Chen had never heard of a place like this before.
" Hm... It seems I came too early huh..." Jiang Kun stroked his long white beard.
Xiao Chen then realized that on the table there was a carving that resembled a chessboard. In addition, there were also chess pieces on the table.
" Can you play chess? " Jiang Kun realized Xiao Chen was observing the stone table.
" Junior understands the rules of the game but is not good at it..."
" No problem , I will give you three points . Accompany me to play . " Jiang Kun certainly did not expect Xiao Chen to be good at playing considering his age .
Xiao Chen nodded then sat opposite Jiang Kun . As Jiang Kun wished , Xiao Chen placed his four white pieces on the chessboard .
" Oh , not bad ... " Jiang Kun raised his eyebrows when he saw the position of the pieces arranged by Xiao Chen , he then began to place his pieces .
Jiang Kun initially laughed , praising the steps Xiao Chen took but after fifteen minutes there was no more laughter or praise from Jiang Kun .
" I made a mistake , let's repeat . I will still give you three points . " Jiang Kun realized his position was not advantageous , even if he continued he would not win .
Xiao Chen nodded , he then cleaned up the chessboard and started a new game . Xiao Chen again placed his four pieces first , this time Jiang Kun played seriously with him from the start .
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Kun's brow furrowed, "Ahem... It seems that I still underestimated you. How about we play again and I only give you one point?"
Xiao Chen did not refuse, his face looked flat and he started to clean up their game again.
Actually, Xiao Chen was also quite surprised, he had a clear mind and better attention than before. His fighting experience in his previous life could also be used as a strategy in a chess game.
"I don't think I'm this smart..." Xiao Chen thought as he recalled the past year when he started to learn the sciences that he had not touched in his previous life, his absorption was so good. Previously, Xiao Chen thought this was due to his mental condition of being over 90 years old but maybe there was something else.
The third match between Xiao Chen and Jiang Kun this time lasted for almost an hour before Jiang Kun gave up again.
"Young man, you seem younger than your real age, right? How old are you really?" Jiang Kun asked with a frown.
At first Jiang Kun thought Xiao Chen was 10 or 11 years old judging from his posture but after seeing Xiao Chen's chess playing skills, Jiang Kun began to doubt it.
Xiao Chen scratched his cheek, a little hesitant to answer but finally said that he was 6 years old now.
"Ena... Ugh!" Jiang Kun's eyes widened and choked on his own breath when he heard Xiao Chen's answer, "You shouldn't lie to your parents!"
Jiang Kun found it hard to accept that Xiao Chen was not only not younger than his real age but also older than his real age.
"Junior is not lying, Junior is really 6 years old." Xiao Chen replied with an awkward smile.
Jiang Kun stared at Xiao Chen's eyes sharply, he could see that the boy in front of him was not lying. For Jiang Kun losing a game of chess to a child who was not yet 20 years old was already so embarrassing, let alone if in fact Xiao Chen was 6 years old.
"Once again! This time we play fair!" Jiang Kun's tone of voice rose slightly, he felt his pride was at stake this time.
Xiao Chen coughed softly, as far as he could remember Jiang Kun was famous for always being calm in all situations but it seemed like the story he heard in his previous life was not entirely true.
An hour later, Jiang Kun covered his face with both hands. Jiang Kun could feel his cheeks so hot because of the shame he suffered, losing four times in a row against a kid like Xiao Chen had hurt his pride.
"Senior, if you don't want to play anymore, may I take my leave? It will be dark soon..." Xiao Chen looked at the setting sun.
g was almost setting.
Jiang Kun then woke up from his reverie, he also just remembered that he actually came to play with a friend but it seemed like the person he was waiting for couldn't come today.
"Where do you live? It's getting dark, let me take you home." Jiang Kun's face looked calm again, as if nothing had happened before.
Xiao Chen refused him, he explained that he could go home by himself. Jiang Kun stared at him for a long time before saying, "I'll wait for you here every day, we'll play again."
Jiang Kun clearly didn't want this situation to end with four defeats on his side. Xiao Chen scratched his head before nodding slowly and
saying goodbye.
After making sure Jiang Kun didn't follow him, Xiao Chen started using the Wind Steps Technique to return to the Hundred Sword Valley.
"This kid can use the lightening body technique.." Jiang Kun could still see Xiao Chen quite clearly even though he was from a distance.
Jiang Kun was actually amazed by Xiao Chen's intelligence, he expected the boy to come from the Hundred Sword Valley but Xiao Chen's destination was not the entrance gate of his sect.
"Besides the Hundred Sword Valley there is only the Jade Furnace House but there is no way this kid came from there..."
Actually Jiang Kun planned to play chess with the Sect Leader of the Jade Furnace House, their two sects could be said to be friendly with each other and the distance between the two sects was not that far but if traveled with the ability of ordinary humans it would take one to two days of travel.
Jiang Kun could only shake his head slowly and hope that Xiao Chen would reappear tomorrow, he intended to pull Xiao
Chen into the Hundred Sword Valley if Xiao Chen was not yet part of any sect.
