After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Everyone followed Xiao Jinzhi's line of sight, and then several people secretly took a breath.

I saw a square high platform on the east side, with four sides about half a foot long, supported by four pillars below, and visually estimated to be at least two feet high.

Because it is close to the observation tower on the east side and blocked by tall green trees, it was not very noticeable at first.

"It's too dangerous to dance on this stage." Liu Zhaoran couldn't help but say.

She had always been afraid of heights, let alone dancing on it, but now she felt a little nervous just looking at the high platform.

Liu Qianran beside her also frowned, looking at Xiao Rongxuan with a bit of disapproval in his eyes.

He knew that the third prince wanted to test the relationship between His Royal Highness and Miss Chu, but if this high platform was a way to test, it would be too much.

But after hesitating for a moment, he lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

"Miss Liu, you can rest assured that this high platform was specially built by this prince and is very strong." Xiao Rongxuan said in a leisurely tone, with a faint light floating in his eyes.

"This is the third round, junior sister, why not go up and give it a try." Mu Feng still looked at Chu Huanyan.

The expression on the latter's face remained unchanged, but his eyes looked slightly darker at Mu Feng.

"We haven't seen each other for five years. Now it seems that senior brother has changed a lot."

She can no longer remember most of the memories after becoming a disciple.

However, I still remember that Mu Feng back then, although he seemed silent and serious, was fair and upright in his dealings.

Even though she and Mu Feng were not close friends, at least they never blushed or had any conflicts. Now that we are reunited after a long separation, the other party is not polite.

"The world is changing, and people will always change when they are in it." Mu Feng said calmly, his tone was calm for a moment, like a pool of stagnant water.

"Indeed, people will change. Just like now, I can't remember how to dance, so I have to let my senior brother down." Chu Huanyan said with a chuckle.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became stagnant for a moment.

After a while, Mu Feng laughed and said, "What if I just hope that Junior Sister can go up and dance a song?"

Chu Huanyan frowned, why did Mu Feng say that?

"Mr. Mu's words are a bit too rude." Liu Zhaoran couldn't help but said.

"That's right. Why do you force others to make things difficult for them?" Pei Zhaoqing also spoke up.

Chu Huanyan said nothing, but her eyes fell on the brocade box again.

"What's in this?"

"I prepared this for the third prince, today's third round of prizes." Mu Feng paused, "Junior sister, do you still remember the meeting gift that your teacher and your wife gave you?"

Chu Huanyan was stunned, and after a moment she said, "Nuan Yuqi."

So what's inside this brocade box...

Mu Feng reached out and opened the brocade box, revealing a pair of warm jade chess pieces.

"Back then, the bad news came about the Marquis of Ning'an and his wife. You left in a hurry and didn't take them with you."

Chu Huanyan opened the chess box, and the black and white chess pieces still glowed with the luster of the past, and were warm to the touch, as if they had never passed any age at all.

"This chess piece was polished by the teacher and his wife during the snowy days back then. Now that the teacher and his wife have traveled around the world, they may not see each other again in this life. This chess piece is probably the only thought they have left to the junior sister. The junior sister probably doesn't want to think about it either. Let it fall into someone else’s hands.”

"Mr. Mu, what you said is too unreasonable. Since it is a meeting gift given by Mr. Shen Xi to Miss Chu, it naturally belongs to Miss Chu. Why do you use it as a reward for the third round?" Pei Zhaoqing Dissatisfied spoke.

"Just because this chess piece is now in my hands." Mu Feng replied casually.

"This is really shameless, you..."

"So what." Mu Feng interrupted Pei Zhaoqing, his tone so calm that he didn't seem to care about others' condemnation.

Pei Zhaoqing choked and was speechless for a moment.

Mu Feng continued to look at Chu Huanyan, "I remember that my junior sister-in-law once praised me, saying that you are very talented. Although you have only studied for a few months, you already have a bit of her former grace. Come to think of it, even if it has been five years, Years ago, some things should still be remembered. After a dance on the high platform, the chess pieces are returned. If Junior Sister is unwilling, then the chess pieces can only be returned to others. "

Chu Huanyan laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. She glanced at Xiao Rongxuan and spoke to Mu Feng again.

"It's a matter of asking senior brother and the third prince to worry about it. I think it was a temporary decision to take this warm jade chess piece as a reward."

"This Nuan Jade chess piece is already precious, not to mention that it was polished by Mr. Shen Xi himself, so it is a perfect reward." Xiao Rongxuan looked at Chu Huanyan.

Today's third round was indeed specially prepared for Chu Huanyan.

Xiao Jinzhi is not a fool. If he is just simply making things difficult and ridiculing, he may not be able to get anything out of the test.

However, it is different with this high platform. If some accident happens, I don't know how Xiao Jinzhi will react at the critical moment.

Or...will Xiao Jinzhi watch with cold eyes and let Chu Huanyan go up to this high platform?

Thinking of this, Xiao Rongxuan looked at Xiao Jinzhi unabashedly. Obviously, he didn't mind Xiao Jinzhi seeing what he was thinking.

After all, if you notice his temptation and help him, it will explain the problem better, right?

Xiao Jinzhi felt Xiao Rongxuan's gaze and just played with the wine glass in his hand, waiting for Chu Huanyan's reaction.

Chu Huanyan stared at the chess pieces, thinking very rationally.

To her, this chess piece is just a thought. Its presence or absence will not affect everything she does next. Therefore, there is no need for her to take risks and let Mu Feng and Xiao Rongxuan achieve their goals.

Chu Huanyan thought clearly, but just when she reached out to pick up the lid of the chess box and was about to close it again, she paused.

It was probably because I suddenly remembered the past. Now when I look at the chess piece, scenes of dusty memories emerge.

Even if it is just an old thing, even if it is not worth the risk, at this moment, she is still a little reluctant to part with it.

The brocade cloak has gone to nowhere. If she can keep this chess piece, it seems that she can still have a glimpse of the past.

During that time, parents were at home and carefree.

"Junior sister, have you thought about it?" Observing the trace of reluctance in Chu Huanyan's eyes, Mu Feng became more and more sure.

Chu Huanyan pursed her lips and looked towards the high platform. Just as she was thinking, Xiao Jinzhi spoke.

"Ha, that's interesting. Are you two really from the same sect? How come I don't see the slightest bit of friendship from the same sect?"

Xiao Rongxuan narrowed his eyes, smiled softly and spoke.

"Brother Emperor, are you trying to defend Miss Chu?"

"Although Miss Chu is a beauty, I have no interest in saving beauties as a hero right now. I just think that instead of letting Miss Chu dance on the high stage, it would be better to change to a more interesting way of playing."

"Oh, what kind of gameplay?" Xiao Rongxuan asked.

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes fell on the Nuan Jade chess piece, "I heard that Mr. Shen Xi is very good at chess. It's rare to see his two disciples at once today. And with this Nuan Jade chess piece, it's better to let them use it as a bet to play against each other. One round."

As soon as these words came out, before Chu Huanyan could even speak, Mu Feng couldn't help laughing, and there was obvious amusement in his tone.

"Your Highness the Prince probably doesn't know that junior sister's chess game has always been the worst."
