Got hot-tempered from playing chess

Ye Wanwan stopped drinking tea with Patriarch Shen and instantly turned to look at Lord Asura and Ji Xiuran when she heard Big Dipper.

These two people… are actually playing a game of chess?

They're going to fight because they got hot-tempered from playing chess?!

Ye Wanwan shook her head in disbelief. If it was Big Dipper who got hot-tempered from playing chess, she wouldn't find it strange. But if it was someone at Ji Xiuran and Lord Asura's level, it absolutely wasn't possible.

These two people looked fine playing a game of chess and looked as close as brothers a second ago, so why did they start fighting a second later…?

Jiang Yan immediately stepped forward and placed himself in front of Si Yehan as he coldly stared at Ji Xiuran.

Before Jiang Yan could do anything, Skeleton walked out from the crowd and came face to face with Jiang Yan.

"Skeleton, retreat," Ji Xiuran lightly called as he looked at Skeleton.

Skeleton furrowed his brows and wanted to say something but swallowed his words, retreating as Ji Xiuran ordered.

"Jiang Yan," Lord Asura called aloofly.

"My lord…" Jiang Yan urgently said, "Your injuries…"

"They've recovered already," Lord Asura replied.

"But…"

Jiang Yan wanted to say something else, but Lord Asura interrupted him, "Retreat."

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth but naturally didn't dare to disobey an order from Lord Asura, so he helplessly retreated.

Ji Xiuran instantly took action and appeared in front of Si Yehan with a single step. He lifted his right arm, and his palm dropped.

The motion of his palm was like ripples in water, and the wind from his strike arrived before his palm.

In a fraction of second, Lord Asura also struck with his palm, unperturbed.

Lord Asura and Ji Xiuran's palms clashed like two meteorites that deviated from their orbits.

A second later, a resounding "bang" sent everyone's eardrums vibrating.

Ji Xiuran's figure was graceful like an immortal while Lord Asura looked like he was taking a stroll in the snow. Every hit and strike caused the viewers' hearts to beat with fear.

Ye Wanwan was utterly dumbstruck by the sight of Lord Asura and Ji Xiuran actually fighting. This match was absolutely unexpected. Logically speaking, she shouldn't act unconcerned…

Next to her, Patriarch Shen's brows locked together as he watched Lord Asura and Ji Xiuran. Despite being the host, he didn't do anything as though he didn't plan to interfere.

Every guest was shocked. For people at Lord Asura and Emperor Ji's level, they reasonably shouldn't start fighting at this kind of setting no matter what deep animosities they had. Not a single person who advanced to their status was rash or imprudent, and there was no way they couldn't differentiate what was important.

Even if they were really going to fight, they should've waited until the Shen family's banquet ended…

"Strange. What in the world happened? Why did Emperor Ji and Lord Asura start fighting at the Shen family's banquet…?" a guest asked in shock.

"I think Big Dipper from Fearless Alliance said that… Emperor Ji and Lord Asura got hot-tempered from… playing chess… so they started fighting…"

"Got… got hot-tempered from a game of chess?"

Many guests were dumbstruck. Was this an astronomical joke…? Who were Emperor Ji and Lord Asura? How could they have gotten hot-tempered from a chess match and started fighting…?

Only an idiot would say something like that.

When Seven Star heard everyone's discussion, he silently retreated back and distanced himself from Big Dipper.
