Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Accepting the Battle Challenge 8
Immediately, Old Master Han lamented, “Ah, you silly girl, you’re getting too big for your britches. Why don’t you listen to the wisdom of the elderly?”
After speaking, he rushed forward to help Ye Xingguang retract her last move, saying, “That move doesn’t count, that move doesn’t count. The kid hadn’t thought it through. Play here, play here.”
Ye Xingguang was at a loss between laughter and tears. Just as Old Master Han placed the white stone on the board, she picked it up again and placed it back in its original position.
Old Master Han puffed out his beard and glared, “You child, why are you so stubborn, so unwilling to heed advice? You’re courting defeat like this.”
Ye Shiting couldn’t stand it any longer, “Old Master Han, who’s playing this game, you or my wife? You’d better sit down and quietly sip your tea. My wife knows what she’s doing.”
Old Master Han wasn’t pleased, “I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice!”
Even Ye Shiting chuckled, “Old Han, I’m not great at Go, but I do know you’re not supposed to speak while watching.”
Old Master Han was fuming, thinking today’s young people are increasingly unwilling to listen to advice!
He waited to see how this young girl would lose.
Unfortunately, after waiting a while, not only did he fail to see Ye Xingguang being utterly defeated by Old Master Wang, but he also noticed the game situation becoming increasingly clear.
Originally, the young girl had been cornered step by step by Old Wang, almost unable to breathe. But after just a few moves, not only did she not suffer a complete defeat, but she also seemed to have a chance to turn the tables.
Eh, how did this happen?
The chatty Old Master Han suddenly fell silent, beginning to ponder seriously. With eyes full of experience, he mulled it over and finally slapped his forehead, shouting, “Ah! I get it!”
Nobody cared what he understood. Ye Xingguang made her final move, exhaling a big breath of relief, and beside her, Yi Yujian’s incredulous voice came, “Did sister-in-law win?”
Old Master Wang laughed heartily, “She won, the little girl is not simple at all.”
Ye Xingguang, a bit embarrassed, said, “Old Master Wang, you went easy on me and didn’t use your full strength. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to win. Playing Go with you was thrilling and worth the trip.”
Old Master Wang replied, “No need to be modest. You’re quite good at Go, far exceeding my expectations. Who taught you?”
Ye Xingguang said, “My next-door neighbor. When I was little, I would watch him fish. While fishing, he would play Go to pass the time, so I watched him and asked him to teach me. Everything I know about Go is from him.”
Old Master Wang nodded in satisfaction, “Your neighbor must be a Go master. If I get the chance, I must spar with him sometime. Come on, let’s have another game.”
Ye Xingguang checked the time, worrying that all the guests had already arrived. Holding Old Master Wang up playing Go might make her neglect other guests.
Ye Xingguang said, “Old Master Wang, after your birthday banquet ends, may I invite you to continue guiding me, alright?”
Old Madam Wang also came over to urge him, “Still playing Go? You old man, leaving the guests unattended, what’s the meaning of this?”
Only then did Old Master Wang give up. He stood up and took Ye Xingguang’s hand, “Come, I feel a great connection playing Go with you. Sit by my side so you won’t wander off while I’m not paying attention. Later, who would I play Go with?”
Ye Xingguang felt both flattered and nervous as she followed Old Master Wang to the main seat, instantly drawing much attention.
