The teacher's first ga of chess was a test, to see Li Fei's chess skills, but most importantly, to observe Li Fei's competitiveness and sense of gain and loss.
Many people are concerned about everything, eager to obtain everything, yet have never figured out what they truly want and pursue.
Li Fei accomplished this, which is called clarity of mind.
In the second ga, the teacher deliberately showed 'killing power', brutally bullying that Marquis Jing'an on the chessboard!
With talent being foremost, occupying a high position, and being a martial arts powerhouse himself, even if he doesn't care about winning or losing in chess, when he's at an absolute disadvantage in a field, he is bound to feel so irritation.
But the teacher said Li Fei remained calm from start to end, which is quite comndable.
To control one's emotions and desires, this is called self-discipline.
In the last ga, the teacher played a 'guidance ga', putting Li Fei in a passive situation, restricted at every step, only able to play pieces according to the teacher's will.
This ga must have lasted the longest, yet Li Fei managed to maintain his composure, not recklessly breaking through on the board, nor did he give up and make random moves.
Maintaining one's original intent amidst constant change, this is called holding the heart!
To receive such three evaluations, Hu Tingzhong began to look at Marquis Jing'an with new eyes.
If it was just outstanding talent and formidable strength, he wouldn't care much.
In his heart, those who can truly change the world for the better are the real strong ones!
If it's just about being able to resist ten thousand armies, destroy cities and flatten mountains, even if as strong as Lin Tianyi, Hu Tingzhong does not believe they are stronger than his teacher.
"Does the teacher think Li Fei can take on great responsibilities?"
Hu Tingzhong asked bluntly.
He knew the reason his teacher specially tested Li Fei was because in future plans regarding the Blue Patrol Pavilion, even about the future of the Da Lan Dynasty, Li Fei might occupy a crucial position!
Ye Ze'an did not give a direct answer, but said:
"A long way to go; let's take another look."
...
Under the night, Li Fei walked alone on the street.
He was recalling the conversation with Ye Ze'an tonight and those three gas of chess.
Actually, he had figured out from the start that this Grand Secretary was testing his temperant.
However, he didn't intentionally conceal or display himself.
In front of soone like Ye Ze'an, Li Fei didn't think he could hide anything.
So, he remained frank from beginning to end, just being himself.
"ntioning loose cultivators, it is to tell that if I want to achieve my goals, relying on the court is the best choice."
"The Blue Patrol Pavilion, he only ntioned the council mbers and the patrol group but didn't ntion the pavilion master, intending to leave in suspense? Or drawing a big picture?"
"To help oneself, first help others, it is to tell to give before asking, if I want to take revenge on the Lu family and Xu Jing, I must first show equal value?"
Li Fei kept pondering over his conversation with Ye Ze'an, speculating on the aning behind the Grand Secretary's words.
Having spent over a decade in the officialdom in his past life, he was adept at deciphering such matters and believed he must be correct, especially since Ye Ze'an spoke quite clearly and straightforwardly without deliberate mystification.
"Lu Family, Blue Patrol Council mber....."
Li Fei's gaze turned cold.
Even though he knew it was tough to prevent the Lu family from obtaining the Blue Patrol Council mber position for Feng Province in this public vote, he still wanted to give it a try.
Once the Lu family succeeded, it would be even harder for him to seek revenge in the future.
....
January 15, the fifth day after the grand court eting.
The news about the court establishing the 'Blue Patrol Pavilion' had spread throughout the entire Jianghu.
It can be described as a stone stirring up a thousand waves!
Various Jianghu sects, aristocratic families, and gang leaders were all enthusiastically discussing this matter.
"Any martial artist who has reached the Tao Foundation Stage, any Great Mage who has reached the Possession Stage, as long as their background is clean, can join the Blue Patrol Pavilion, and upon passing the assessnt, can obtain the status of an adviser. Advisers have the right to discuss, vote, and report."
"Anyone with martial arts master-level cultivation or equivalent can apply to obtain reserve council mber status, and then be publicly voted by the advisers of the Blue Patrol Pavilion in each province to select the Blue Patrol Council mber for that province."
In the provincial city of Gan Province, the Red Silk Restaurant had reopened.
Although the owner of the restaurant had changed, it didn't affect the business at all; in fact, thanks to Marquis Jing'an Li Fei having previously resisted a Martial Arts Master outside the restaurant, its fa had soared, and business was even better than before.
At this ti, many Jianghu figures in the restaurant were holding newspapers and discussing the Blue Patrol Pavilion issue.
Related matters of the 'Blue Patrol Pavilion' had already made it to the front pages of major newspaper outlets, so much so that even ordinary citizens were aware of it.
Ordinary folks were just seeing the excitent, but the Jianghu people were looking at their prospects and future!
In a private room, a woman in a red dress and wearing a veil quietly sat by the window.
Though the private room was well-insulated, she could still clearly hear the entire restaurant's sounds.
Because she was Shen Tuyue, who had just broken the record in martial arts cultivation, becoming the youngest Martial Arts Master in history.
"Ye Ze'an's move here, truly a grand strategy, truly a brilliant sche!"
A man in a blue official uniform embroidered with sun, moon, and stars sighed.
He sat opposite Shen Tuyue, precisely Chi Chengyu, who was required to resign and 'defend' himself in Lanling City.
The cabinet mber appointed by the Central Governnt's Zhi Ge Pavilion to replace his position was about to arrive, so he was about to temporarily take off this official uniform.
As for when he could put it back on and whether he could return to his post, he did not know.
"Uncle Master, do you think the Blue Patrol Pavilion can be smoothly established?"
Shen Tuyue asked.
Chi Chengyu nodded without hesitation: "Definitely, yes."
"Ultimately, people in the Jianghu seek nothing more than 'fa and fortune', and the Blue Patrol Pavilion can provide both. So even though they know it's bait, many will willingly take the hook."
"And there are forces that have no choice but to join, like our Red Dust Pavilion."
"Pudu Temple is currently seeking sothing from the court, and they will certainly join."
"The Yuhua Sect and Upper Pure Sect are implicated with the Daluo Sect and now urgently need to repair relations with the court, so they will certainly cooperate."
"Finally, it depends on whether Lin Tianyi will give face to the court, and whether the Heavenly Tower will join."
Chi Chengyu analyzed for Shen Tuyue.
Shen Tuyue was silent for a mont, then asked, "Why must I be chosen to go?"
Chi Chengyu smiled at these words: "Xiao Yue, your talent and capabilities are enough to shoulder the future of our Red Dust Pavilion! The master has high hopes for you. This ti, having you represent the Red Dust Pavilion in the election of a Blue Patrol Pavilion mber is also to hone you. For you, it's a great opportunity to enter the world."
The leading force in the Jianghu of Gan Province is undoubtedly the Red Dust Pavilion, and because of the Entry World Conference matter, the Red Dust Pavilion must join the Blue Patrol Pavilion to prove its innocence.
The representative pushed by the Red Dust Pavilion is Shen Tuyue, a newly erged Martial Arts Master.
Shen Tuyue turned to look out the window, a golden figure appearing in her mind.
This election for the Blue Patrol Pavilion mbers will be held publicly in Lanling City, so she will next go to Lanling City with Chi Chengyu.
"I wonder when you will break through? Will there be a chance to exchange moves this ti we et?"
Shen Tuyue thought to herself.
...
In An Province, a young Taoist in a Daoist robe put down the phone in his hand.
He is Ning Chuan, recently ranked second on the Fengyun Leaderboard under 'Under Heaven'.
After defeating Lan Ruoyun, he actually wanted to visit Lanling City to challenge Li Fei!
Even if he's not a match for Li Fei, he wants to see how big the difference is when they're both at the Tao Foundation Stage?
He just received a call from the Daluo Sect.
The sect is also sending him to Lanling City for the Blue Patrol Pavilion affair.
"How can this Jianghu be without the na of the Daluo Sect?"
Ning Chuan's eyes were resolute as he stepped towards the direction of the train station.
...
At Luli Mountain, Pudu Temple.
A millennium-old treasure temple.
"Ming Qi, the abbot has decided to let you represent Pudu Temple to run for Blue Patrol Pavilion mber. You should go to Lanling City again."
"Disciple complies."
In front of the majestic Buddha statue, Ming Qi placed his palms together.
On this day, this Liuli Buddha's son descended the mountain again.
....
At Yu Mountain, inside the Heaven Tower.
Zhu Fenghua, still cultivating on the seventh floor, suddenly sensed sothing.
He stood up and looked toward the ceiling above.
"Go to Lanling City."
A cold voice ca from above.
"Yes, Master."
Zhu Fenghua did not ask why. After saluting, he turned and left.
....
In the Da Lan Dynasty, among its twenty-three provinces, dozens of Jianghu sects, so with Martial Arts Masters or True Masters, aristocratic families, and powerful gangs.
The Buddhist and Taoist families.
One tower, one pavilion, three mountains, four sects, and seven great families.
All sent people rushing to Lanling City.
For a mont, the Jianghu was tumultuous.
All the heroes under heaven gather in this city!
