After cleaning up the chess pieces,
Luo Changfeng and Luo Youwei began their third game.
About half an hour later,
the curtain fell on their third game.
The victor was naturally Luo Changfeng.
The loser remained the little fellow Luo Youwei.
And still, it ended in a crushing defeat.
Itâs just that, it seemed, after the miserable losses of the first two games,
Luo Youweiâs mood wasnât as upset as before.
It was just a sense of helplessness.
âElder Changfeng, on the chess board, your calculations are still so exhaustive.â
âNo matter how hard I try, it seems Iâm still within your expectations.â
Luo Youwei showed a wry smile.
She raised her head and said to Luo Changfeng in front of her.
âSometimes, a game of chess is just like understanding life itself.â
âYou little girl, how many years have you even lived on this vast land?â
âHow can you compare with me?â
Luo Changfeng smiled slightly, picked up the cup of tea that had cooled down next to him, and said in a low voice, âHowever, compared to others, your achievements in Go are quite impressive alreadyâ¦â
As Luo Changfeng finished his comforting words,
he brought the teacup to his lips.
He sipped the tea that had turned cold inside the cup.
Then, he silently relished the peace of the moment,
savoring the breezes that occasionally blew from all directions.
This feeling was, indeed, rather pleasant.
âReally?â
âAre you not just consoling me?â
Luo Youwei suddenly narrowed her eyes and silently gazed at Patriarch Changfeng in front of her.
It seemed she wanted to detect some flaws on Patriarch Changfengâs face.
But what kind of person was Luo Changfeng?
No matter what, he was ultimately the sitting patriarch of the Qingshi City Luo Family,
a Mortal Transcendence Realm cultivator who had existed on this land for countless years.
Even if he was truly comforting the little fellow Luo Youwei,
how could he let that little fellow detect even the slightest flaw on his face?
â¦
Not long after,
Luo Youwei stood up and left,
slowly disappearing from Luo Changfengâs sight.
âLuo Pingâ¦â
âHas that little fellow truly been living as carefree and comfortable as Luo Youwei describes these past days?â
Luo Changfeng had drunk halfway.
He suddenly put down the tea in his hand,
and inquired in a calm tone to the empty air beside him.
âYes.â
A cold voice suddenly resounded.
Dressed in black clothes and a Spiritual Artifact curved saber tied to her waist,
Ruan Liuli, with her ice-cold complexion and expressionless face,
appeared suddenly beside Luo Changfeng.@@novelbin@@
âIs it really so?â
Luo Changfeng picked up the cup of tea from the stone table again, and after he finished the tea in his hand, he then showed a contemplative expression.
Narrowing his eyes, he whispered, âIf thatâs the case, it seems Luo Ping is living even more leisurely than I, the old patriarchâ¦â
After Luo Changfengâs remarks,
he turned his head and asked Ruan Liuli in a low voice, âBy the way, how is that young fellow Luo Yao doing now? Luo Ping mentioned he intended to groom that little fellow as the next Family Head of the Luo Family. I wonder how far along Luo Yaoâs training has progressedâ¦â
Ruan Liuli slightly bowed her head and said softly, âIt seems that besides a small portion of time spent on family affairs, most of his time is spent onâ¦â
âSlacking off?â
Ruan Liuli contemplated.
Then, she used a term often employed by her master,
Slacking off, exactly that, slacking off.
The meaning of slacking off refers to someone doing what they should be doing, but choosing to daydream or have their head in the clouds instead.
âSlacking off?â
On hearing Ruan Liuliâs words, Luo Changfeng couldnât help but laugh out loud.
Interesting, truly interesting.
âWhat is Luo Pingâs attitude regarding Luo Yaoâs slacking off?â Luo Changfeng asked in a low voice.
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Liuli answered, âThe Family Head seems not to have noticed Luo Yaoâs actionsâ¦â
Luo Changfeng: ââ¦â
âAre you serious?â
After a moment, Luo Changfeng asked again.
Ruan Liuli did not respond this time,
but simply nodded gently.
â¦
For a time,
the courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,
seemed to grow quieter.
âHasnât noticedâ¦â
As Luo Changfeng lifted his head and looked into the distance,
he let out a slight sigh.
If thatâs the case, it seems that young fellow Luo Yaoâs slacking off skills are quite superb.
To the point that even Luo Ping, who is constantly by his side, has not noticed it.
âLetâs do thisâ¦â
Luo Changfeng pondered for a moment, then spoke to Ruan Liuli beside him, âRegarding Luo Yaoâs matter, remind Luo Ping for me.â
âSlacking off is not a good habit,
and even more so when that young fellow is being groomed as the next Family Head of the Luo Family.â
âHe naturally canât be as lazy as usual.â
After Luo Changfeng finished speaking,
he waved his hand.
Ruan Liuli bowed her head slightly in acknowledgment, then disappeared swiftly from the vicinity of the Stone Pavilion,
vanishing from Luo Changfengâs sight.
â¦
Beneath the Stone Pavilion,
Luo Changfeng squinted his eyes slightly.
