Nine Dragon Villa.
Night fell, and the lights began to twinkle.
*Screech~*
A prolonged Ferrari supercar stopped in front of the villa, its brakes groaning as it arrived at Nine Dragon Villa Number One.
"Aunt Shen!"
"Young Master, Young Master is back!"
A sweet, pleasant voice echoed through the villa. Immediately, Aunt Shen and the villa's maids hurried out. The return of the Young Master and Madam was a major event for them.
They had enjoyed paid leave for over half a month during the New Year. The Young Master's generosity made them feel indebted.
Of course, more importantly... after not seeing the Young Master for so long, they truly missed him.
Pushing open the car door, Ye Xuan and Luo Tianyi appeared before the villa.
"Quick, carry the three little princesses down."
Aunt Shen promptly instructed the maids to pick up the three little ones, then greeted them with a broad smile, "Young Master, Madam, you're back."
"I didn't get to give you red envelopes for the New Year, so the Young Master will make up for it."
With that, Ye Xuan handed a stack of red envelopes to Aunt Shen, "Aunt Shen, please distribute them to everyone."
"Red envelopes?"
Aunt Shen paused, then thanked him, "Thank you, Young Master."
"Come, come, these are the New Year red envelopes the Young Master is giving as make-up. Aren't you going to thank the Young Master?"
As Aunt Shen spoke, the villa's maids erupted.
"Ah~"
"Red envelopes! Long live the Young Master!"
The maids saw the 1000 RMB in each red envelope, their faces beaming with smiles. The Young Master was so generous.
...
While Ye Xuan returned to Nine Dragon Villa and the maids were chattering around the three treasures.
The Tianhai University exchange group chat exploded. The reason was none other than the shortlisted candidates for Ye Xuan's Go competition.
"The male god made it into the Go competition? Is this... real?"
"My goodness, this picture can't be Photoshopped, right? 100 wins, 0 losses, unbelievable."
"If this is true, doesn't that mean the male god is also a master of Go?"
"Ming Wang, damn, that name is so domineering~~"
The group chat was in an uproar, everyone stunned by the list of shortlisted candidates for the Go competition.
At the same time, in the home of Ye Pengyu, Ye Xuan's third uncle in Yangcheng.
He took a sip of his fragrant tea, preparing to view the shortlisted candidates for the Go competition. Suddenly, he saw the ID 'Ming Wang' and his gaze shifted to the name column.
At that moment, Ye Pengyu's eyes fell on the real name of Ming Wang in the column. The instant he saw the name, Ye Pengyu's pupils contracted sharply, "Pfft!!"
"That Ming Wang... is my eldest nephew!!"
Seeing this, Ye Pengyu's mouth twitched, his eyelids fluttering uncontrollably. Just then, Ye Xiaodao also came to his father and saw the list of shortlisted candidates for the Go competition, spotting Ming Wang, who had previously trounced his father.
"Wow!!"
The sudden scream startled Ye Pengyu. Ye Xiaodao's mother hurried out from the kitchen, "What's wrong, Xiaodao?"
"This, Ming Wang is actually cousin!"
Ye Xiaodao jumped three feet high, his eyes wide open, "Dad, the person who hung you up and beat you last time was cousin Ye Xuan."
"Pfft... Cough cough~!!!"
Hearing her son's words, Ye Xiaodao's mother almost choked on her own saliva. What on earth?
The eldest nephew hung him up and beat him??
When did that happen!
The scene was too much to bear, but... the eldest nephew was such a good person, how could he do such a thing??
*Thump.*
Ye Pengyu clearly saw his wife's bewildered look and mercilessly tapped his mischievous son on the forehead. Ye Xiaodao yelped in pain, his eyes full of innocence, not understanding why his father hit him.
It really hurt, and tears began to well up, showing how hard Ye Pengyu's flick to the forehead was.
"Dad, why did you hit me? I didn't say anything wrong."
Ye Xiaodao glared resentfully at his father, looking like a wronged little wife.
"Hmph!"
Hearing that brat still talking, Ye Pengyu cast a death glare at his little rascal, "You brat, talking nonsense."
Ye Pengyu coughed dryly and, under his wife's gaze, braced himself, "It's just that your cousin beat me in a game of chess, what do you mean 'hung me up and beat me'? If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll spank you."
Hearing Ye Pengyu's words, Ye Xiaodao's mother finally understood. So that's what it was. She thought to herself, how could her eldest nephew be that kind of person? He surely wouldn't hang his own third uncle up and beat him.
But what was that brat saying? If this continued, it would be a problem. It seemed like she'd need to initiate the 'man and woman' tag-team mode soon, otherwise, that brat would really start causing trouble.
Ye Xiaodao was completely unaware of his mother's thoughts at this moment. If he knew, he might be so scared that he'd run away from home and wouldn't come back until he reached the highest rank in King's Glory.
Of course, Ye Xiaodao would never know his mother's thoughts at this moment.
Coincidentally.
On the other side, in a high-end residential area in Yangcheng.
Sun Mingyang looked at the list of shortlisted candidates. Although he hadn't played a hundred games and wouldn't be on the list, he was looking for someone named 'Ming Wang'. With that person's Go skills, it was impossible for them not to be on the shortlist.
"Oh?"
At a certain moment, Sun Mingyang found Ming Wang and saw the final record of 100 wins and 0 losses, "As expected?"
"100 consecutive wins, interesting!"
Then, Sun Mingyang's gaze moved down, and as expected, the name 'Ye Xuan' appeared before him. When he saw this name, Sun Mingyang straightened up, his eyes flickering for a moment, "This Ming Wang is named Ye Xuan. It seems... I've heard this name somewhere before."
"But... where was it??"
Sun Mingyang fell into deep thought. Various faces flashed through his mind, finally settling on one. He slapped his thigh with a *snap*, "It's him!!"
"That kid with amazing Go skills from Blue Ocean Community."
At this moment, Sun Mingyang's memory surged. He recalled the scene that day at Blue Ocean Residence when he was mercilessly defeated by a young man, "It's that kid."
Thinking of this, Sun Mingyang's lips curved bitterly. He had originally thought that he might not lose that game, or perhaps he had held onto a sliver of hope that the kid was just lucky. Now, it seemed... things weren't as he had imagined.
"This young fellow's Go skill is at least at the professional ninth dan level. A prodigy. It would be too regrettable if such a prodigy didn't contribute to the Imperial City Chess Academy."
Sun Mingyang licked his lips. With everything clarified, all his doubts were resolved. "Not bad, that kid... is very good, hahaha~!!"
As various parties stirred and Ye Xuan's name became a hot topic at Tianhai University, right after the unification of the Mixi Duchy by the Best Duchy, rebellions began to break out in various regions within the two duchies. The subsequent events, however, were enough to push Tian Quan Security into the spotlight.
