"Here's your invitation," Xue Muhua said, not mincing words. Having spent a considerable amount of time together, Xue Muhua knew that Yang Xuan was easygoing, so he spoke casually.
"Uh, who's getting married? Is it Qiao Feng and A Zhu?" Yang Xuan asked in surprise.
"It's from my master, Deaf and Mute Old Man," Xue Muhua said, sounding a bit annoyed.
Alright, Yang Xuan was already confused. In the modern world, with various social tools, there were no more formal invitations. Usually, it was just a matter of exchanging information. If someone handed you an invitation, congratulations, you just received a bomb.
Yang Xuan shook his head, opened the invitation, and read, "Inviting the great hero Black Evil Scholar Yang Xuan to gather at Drum Mountain's Deaf and Mute Valley on the fifteenth of April for a chess discussion. Salutations by Deaf and Mute Elder Su Xinghe."
"I know. I'll be there on time," Yang Xuan said, realizing that the plotline of receiving transmissions from the master was starting. It didn't seem like there were many benefits, but well, it was an opportunity to join in the fun.

Over the past half month, Yang Xuan had gained a lot. Things he hadn't had time to do before were now getting organized. He had enhanced all the martial arts he could, and the biggest gain was the Evil Buddha Body, which added 20 people of strength to Yang Xuan. His strength had surged, and fortunately, he had control over the Post-Dan stage, or else he wouldn't have been able to handle the sudden increase in strength. Wohuo was no longer enough for Yang Xuan's needs, so he strengthened it again. Thankfully, the system reminded him, and after three enhancements, there was an opportunity for optimization.
Yang Xuan held Wohuo affectionately, carefully feeling its improved grip.
"I really don't know how you cultivated your martial arts. Your physical strength is off the charts," Xue Muhua said, puzzled, walking around. Suddenly, he brightened and said, "Could you be a monster?"
Yang Xuan's face turned black. "You're the monster, your whole family is. If it weren't for the good treatment I've had for the past half month, I would have knocked you down by now."
Xue Muhua wasn't worried at all, familiar with Yang Xuan's personality. Even if he teased Yang Xuan, at most, he would get a beating, and it was mostly for show.
"It's related to my physique. How many people do you know who can eat as much as I do?" Yang Xuan said proudly.
"You're not eating; you're devouring! Do you know how much money you've cost me in the past half month? A whopping 2000 taels! Just for regular food. No wonder you have natural superpowers," Xue Muhua complained, holding his chest as if in pain.
In the context of the Tianlong Babu period, 200 taels of silver was equivalent to 30,000 RMB, and 2000 taels meant a whopping 300,000 RMB. No wonder someone of Xue Muhua's status was extremely distressed.
"Come on, don't complain about me eating your food. Call you 'Stingy Xue' instead of Xue Muhua," Yang Xuan taunted.
"I've studied your physical body for half a month and still can't figure it out. Let's just say it's a natural talent. Can I study your horse?" Xue Muhua asked eagerly.
"It's useless if you tell me. Talk to me after you beat Xiao Hei," Yang Xuan smirked.
Xue Muhua looked depressed. When he tried to study Xiao Hei, he was kicked with nowhere to hide. If Yang Xuan hadn't appeared in time, Xue Muhua might not have been standing here intact.
Since Yang Xuan used mana, blood, and internal strength on Xiao Hei and practiced Evil Buddha Body every day, Xiao Hei had become tall, lively, and full of spirituality. If a master of martial arts touched this horse, they would discover that it surprisingly had a remarkable internal strength cultivation. Now, Yang Xuan was used to it. As soon as the energy in his body was full, he would start practicing Evil Buddha Body.
Unfortunately, there was no suitable place now. Otherwise, Yang Xuan really wanted to transform into the third layer of Evil Buddha Body to see how big it could become.
"I'm leaving." A few days later, Yang Xuan rode Xiao Hei towards Xue Muhua.
"Aren't you going together?" Xue Muhua couldn't understand.
"I'm sightseeing while traveling, so I need to leave early. That's it. Goodbye," Yang Xuan said.
Helpless, Xue Muhua watched Yang Xuan, who left in a dust cloud. Since Yang Xuan had stayed at his house, strange words had been coming out constantly, influencing many servants in the family. The problem was that sometimes he couldn't help but blurt out a few words himself.
Yang Xuan, the slow-moving person, traveled leisurely, stopping at passing cities to enjoy local cuisine. Finally, he arrived at Drum Mountain. In this day and age, without asking for directions, it was really hard to find a destination, especially one with such an odd name, and there was no navigation.
Finally, Yang Xuan reached Drum Mountain, where people had already started playing chess. As expected, Duan Yu was playing chess with Su Xinghe, and it was evident that Wang Yuyan and Murong Fu were also present.
"Xue Muhua, you're amazing. I set off earlier than you, yet you arrived first," Yang Xuan said helplessly.
"Lower your voice. Can't you see my master is playing chess? And with your confusion about the cardinal directions, finding this place is already a blessing," Xue Muhua whispered.
Huh! Duan Yu unexpectedly possessed powerful inner strength. Didn't he snatch Duan Yu's opportunity?
"Is the system manipulating the plot again?" Yang Xuan thought helplessly.
"Correct," replied the system.
Now that the Four Great Villains had disbanded and Duan Yanqing was nowhere to be found, could Xu Zhu still gain powerful inner strength in this way?
"Yang Xuan, it's your turn. Everyone has played, and it's your turn," Xue Muhua said.
"I'm coming." Yang Xuan hurried over. After all, he had studied Go for a summer vacation when he was a child.
Yang Xuan carefully examined the Zhenlong Qiqi formation. Damn, this was an anti-human Go setup. There were already over 200 pieces.
Helpless, Yang Xuan was completely defeated. He could only secretly take out the Red Queen, scan the chessboard, and discreetly wear a Bluetooth earpiece.
After some calculations by the Red Queen, Yang Xuan came up with several steps. He followed the simplest steps to start his match with Su Xinghe.
After a period of battling, Yang Xuan easily won and shamelessly said, "I concede, I concede."
