Shen Yunxing frowned in deep thought, and took his next step after a long while. As for the old monk, he was very calm and relaxed.

It was only a three-step chess game, but the two of them played for more than a quarter of an hour.

"If this goes on, Hei Zi will lose." Ye Yuning muttered in her heart, she glanced at Shen Yunxing and coughed lightly.

However, Shen Yunxing did not hear it. The black stone was spinning between his fingers and did not stop after a while. It was obvious that he had encountered a difficult situation and did not know how to make a move.

"Idiot, get down here!" Ye Yuning could not bear to watch this, she grabbed a black piece and placed it at the edge of the chessboard.

With that, Shen Yunxing's eyes suddenly lit up. Blackie, who was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly had a sliver of life.

"Ai ai ai ai, little girl, don't you know that there's no gentleman in the game of chess?" When the old monk saw this, he became extremely discontented.

Ye Yuning pursed her lips and chuckled: "Master, I'm not a gentleman, I'm a little girl."

Shen Yunxing could not help but reveal a smile, "Master, it's your turn."

The old monk retracted his gaze and looked at the chessboard. He casually threw the chess piece in his hand to the side and stood up with a smile, "It's rare for a guest to come visit, this chess piece will end here!"

Finished, he bowed towards Ye Yuning and said the name of Amitabha. Ye Yuning bowed in return, her attitude extremely respectful.

Shen Yunxing also stood up, stretching his body, he looked at Ye Yuning with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and said: "After placing all ten plates, I finally did not lose, thank you Third Miss Ye."

Ye Yuning could not hide the shock in her eyes, the two of them had already placed ten bets? Shen Yunxing did not even win a round?

Just watching the two play chess, Shen Yunxing's chess skills were not bad, almost as good as his godmother Li Haitang, but his chess skills were strange, he never went along the right path, and always set traps for his opponent.

On the other hand, that master had used all means necessary to achieve his goals. He did it in a just and proper manner, without any concealment whatsoever, but instead, left Shen Yunxing powerless to do anything. Although he had lost a few games of chess, Shen Yunxing's face did not reveal any hint of displeasure or dejection.

"This is Third Miss Ye? May I ask if Grandfather Third Miss Ye is kind to the Lady Wen Clan? " the Master asked.

Ye Yuning nodded her head: "Master knows grandpa?"

"We've met once." The Master laughed, "Back then, when I was travelling around the world, I had met your grandfather. At that time, there were endless natural disasters in all parts of the Great Liang Dynasty, and there were also wars and troubles. The imperial government was short of supply and demand, and short of resources. He ordered his grandfather to take out his belongings and buy a large amount of food and clothing before heading to the disaster area to help the people. The local people were very grateful and called him a gentle and kind man, and later built him an everlasting memorial tablet in the temple. "

This was the first time Ye Yuning had heard of the affairs of an external ancestor, and she was extremely happy.

"Wen Family has been doing good deeds for hundreds of years, dispersing all of his family's wealth. Unfortunately, it was all for this generation of external ancestors." The master shook his head and sighed, feeling rather regretful.

However, Ye Yuning declined to comment. "Master's words are wrong, the act of doing good is due to personal awareness. Even without the Wen Family, there is still my mother and me. Every year, my mother would take out her savings to provide porridge for the people of Yin Zhou.

The master was stunned, as if he didn't expect this young girl to say such words. He quickly reacted and said with gratification, "What little miss said is extremely true. If everyone in the world could do as you think, why wouldn't they worry about their well-being?"

Ye Yuning blushed, and said with embarrassment, "Master, you flatter me." To be honest, she didn't think she was a kind person like her mother.

The more the Master looked at Ye Yuning, the more she appreciated him, and could not help but say: "I have some green bamboo tea that I made myself, if this young lady does not mind, why not take a seat inside the house."

Ye Yuning immediately thanked him.

Shen Yunxing could not help but grumble, "Master, I've come over a dozen times. Every time I finish playing chess, you drive me away, not even giving me a sip of water. Why is it that when it comes to Third Miss Ye, you intend to make tea for her yourself? Isn't this too unfair? "

Ye Yuning was embarrassed, he raised her head and looked at the Great Master, and was confused.

"Humph!" It is fate that this poor monk met this little girl, and you, this damn brat, forcefully came to find me, it is naturally different. If you do not wish to, you can scram now. " The master pretended to be angry.

But who knew that Shen Yunxing's face would be covered in perverts as he giggled and came beside the master, "Master, don't be so heartless! At most, I'll be your assistant. How about boiling some water? "

The master could no longer hold back the anger on his face. Laughing loudly, he flicked his finger at Shen Yunxing's forehead.

"You stupid monkey!"

Ye Yuning saw the two of them talking and laughing so intimately that she could not help but be envious.

Looking at Shen Yunxing, Ye Yuning realised that his smile was extremely sincere, coming from the bottom of her heart. Maybe only here would Shen Yunxing be able to truly be free and unrestrained, and not have to hide his true thoughts. Thinking about how he was poisoned, Ye Yuning couldn't help but feel pity for him.

The Master led Ye Yuning into the bamboo hut in the middle, and then instructed Shen Yunxing to go towards the other bamboo hut and fetch some water, he ordered Ye Yuning to do it very naturally. Shen Yunxing was not the least bit displeased.

"The small house is simple and crude. You must be ridiculing the young lady. Take a seat!"

Ye Yuning did not care about it, smiling as she sat on a bamboo chair. The bamboo house was simple, but it had a different meaning to it.

"Master, do you have a name?" Ye Yuning asked.

The Great Master slightly nodded, his expression calm. "Miss, are you listening to what the monks say?"

"Just now, I saw a bunch of peony flowers blooming with extreme beauty. I wanted to see you and find some seeds to bring back. That monk said that it was because of you, so it was rather difficult. " Ye Yuning told them what happened earlier.

Master Jingkong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Peony? The peony seed was indeed brought by the poor monk, but it was not planted by the poor monk, but was taken care of by the young monk in the temple. If the girl wants a seed, we don't have one here, so we have to look for that little monk. "

Ye Yuning nodded, and thanked Master Jingkong.

The two sat in silence for a while, when they heard the sound of Shen Yunxing bringing water back and lighting a fire outside the bamboo house. Ye Yuning enjoyed the peace and quiet at this moment.

In the Ye's Mansion, she had to be constantly on guard, guarding against the aunts who tried to harm Lady Wen or the madame. It was rare for things to become so quiet.

While the water was boiling, Ye Yuning and Master Jingkong casually chatted.

Because Ye Yuning was learning incense, she was extremely interested in all kinds of flowers, and Master Jingkong seemed to know everything.

The two of them chatted happily.

When Shen Yunxing came in with the kettle in his hands, he saw that Ye Yuning's pink and tender face was shining brightly, there was an indescribable attraction that made it impossible for him to shift his gaze away.
