After the two of them entered, Old Man Guo had already laid out the chess game and was ready to play chess with the king.

Zhong Shuliang stepped forward and pulled Old Man Guo up, and said angrily: "We just agreed that after Little Brother Wang comes, we will discuss important matters first. Why did you occupy Little Brother Wang first?"

Old Man Guo chuckled and said, "It's not because you are busy and don't want to waste time."

Old Man Guo had been looking forward to playing a game with Wang Yi for a long time, and he couldn't let go of the opportunity when he finally got it.

However, Zhong Shuliang did have something important to discuss with Wang Yi. If he made trouble, Old Man Zhong would definitely become anxious. Old Man Guo took a step back and said, "Hurry up and get down to business. I won't pester Little Brother Wang anymore."

Wang Yi raised his head and saw Zhong Shuliang's serious expression, so he asked: "Is it not just that the two elders came to me here just to play chess?"

Old Man Guo smiled and said: "Brother Wang is smart. Old Man Zhong came to you today to ask for your help. You have to agree to him for the sake of our two old men."

Being able to get Mr. Guo to ask for favors in person, it seems that Mr. Zhong is really in trouble.

Zhong Shuliang seemed a little embarrassed. He touched his gray beard and glanced at Old Man Guo hesitantly.

Mr. Guo was outspoken and could not get used to Zhong Shuliang hiding his choking scholarly aura.

Since you are looking for help from others and are deliberately putting on airs, then why bother? Do scholars who have been doing this for a long time always behave like this?

Mr. Guo had a short temper and did not like to mince words. He walked up and said, "Mr. Zhong is thin-skinned, so let me do the talking."

Zhong Shuliang forced out a smile with some embarrassment, but hesitated to speak.

Wang Yi smiled modestly.

"Didn't Brother Wang defeat Xiao Yazi's apprentice in the chess club last time? Xiao Yazi was not convinced. Yesterday someone sent a challenge letter to challenge Old Man Zhong in front of the media. Do you think Old Man Xiao is full enough to hold on?

There is nothing to do!" Mr. Guo looked indignant.

Although Xiao Yazi and Zhong Shuliang were both his senior brothers, Mr. Guo didn't like Xiao Yazi's competitive and stubborn spirit.

So many years have passed since the grudges they had in the first half of their lives, and Xiao Yazi just can't let go. Both of them are old men with one leg almost buried in the soil. Xiao Yazi is still unyielding, which is annoying.

They have worked hard for most of their lives and no longer care about the money and power, but they want to make it known to everyone just for the sake of anger. Old man Guo really can't stand it anymore, so he is so angry.

Wang Yi frowned slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong, do you mean you don't want to challenge?"

Old Man Guo rushed to reply: "It's not that I don't want to challenge, it's that I can't challenge! Think about it, we have all lived to this age, who doesn't cherish our reputation? Old Man Zhong has devoted so much to the cause of Go all his life, and it took a lot of effort to get it.

These statuses today are about to disappear. If we go to fight now, wouldn't we be gambling with half our life's honor?"

Wang nodded and agreed with Mr. Guo.

When people live to this age, they naturally value reputation.

Zhong Shuliang is highly respected in the Go community and is respected by everyone, so it is really not appropriate for him to do such impulsive things.

It just seems a bit inappropriate to ask him to fight Xiao Yazi.

Huang Luyao walked forward with a cold face and said: "Teacher, such a thing actually happens."

Zhong Shuliang sighed and shook his head.

Seeing that Wang Yi didn't speak, Huang Luyao showed disdain on her cold face: "Teacher, I think he has no confidence at all. Why don't you let me challenge for the teacher?"

"Xiao Yao, don't be rude, Xiao Yazi is not someone you can deal with!" Zhong Shuliang said solemnly.

Huang Luyao opened her mouth to refute, but finally said aggrievedly: "Yes, teacher!"

Huang Luyao glared at Wang Yi fiercely. She was not sure that she could defeat Xiao Yazi, but what ability did Wang Yi have to dare to challenge him?

Although she is a cold beauty, Huang Luyao is very filial and she is also aware of the old grudge between her teacher and Xiao Yazi.

If the teacher loses this time, Xiao Yazi will definitely publicize it, causing the teacher's reputation to be tarnished and he will no longer be able to hold his head high in the Go world.

As Zhong Shuliang's proud disciple, Huang Luyao has studied Go since she was a child, and her Go skills are not inferior to those of Xiao Yazi's disciple.

Huang Luyao was not present on the opening day of the chess hall. Otherwise, Huang Luyao would have played against Wei Congran, and it would have been difficult to tell the difference.

But even so, Huang Luyao was still not sure that she could defeat Xiao Yazi.

Xiao Yazi has been studying chess all his life, and is even more obsessed with chess than his teacher. Even the teacher only narrowly defeated Xiao Yazi back then. Xiao Yazi's strength should not be underestimated.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Yazi's Go skills have already reached the pinnacle of the Go world. Looking at the country, there are only a handful of people who can compete with Xiao Yazi.

Zhong Shuliang is a chess master in the domestic Go world. He became famous in the early years and his influence is not inferior to Xiao Yazi.

However, Zhong Shuliang's first wife passed away, and he took his son down the mountain to start a business. His mind was inevitably distracted. Moreover, due to the loss of his first wife, he became less interested in power. Otherwise, Zhong Shuliang's influence in the Go world would definitely be greater than that of Xiao Xiao.

Teeth.

After being scolded by her grandfather, Huang Luyao now felt even more displeased with Wang Yi.

How could a mere son-in-law of the Lin family, a loser who was insulted by others as a freeloader, be qualified to compete with Xiao Yazi?

Although she is young, her Go skills are extraordinary. Huang Luyao is not convinced. She feels that she is qualified to fight Xiao Yazi, at least more qualified than Wang Yi!

Zhong Qiqi, who was standing nearby, was not to be outdone. She pouted her little mouth and said angrily: "Grandpa, why are you so partial? Although Wang Yiqi is really good, when it comes to chess skills, why should he replace grandpa to challenge? Why don't you send me?"

Let's go, at least I can be 50% sure that I can beat Senior Xiao."

Zhong Shuliang waved his hand at Zhong Qiqi and said displeased: "What are you kidding about? Your aunt doesn't even dare to say that she is even 50% sure that she can beat Xiao Yazi. With your little skills, you can practice for a few more years."

See if you can beat what your aunt is saying."

It's not that Zhong Shuliang has undermined Zhong Qiqi's confidence. His little granddaughter does have some talent for chess. It's just that after studying abroad in recent years, she started to learn foreign games. Her originally good chess skills were not able to break through because she didn't go too far.

.

Zhong Shuliang did not expect his family members to inherit his legacy. He worked hard for Go for most of his life, but ended up living alone for most of his life. He did not want his descendants to continue to be obsessed with Go and leave regrets in their lives.

Having lived for most of my life, I have a clear understanding of many things in the world.

It's just that Xiao Yazi is stubborn by nature, so he has been obsessed with the past for so many years.

Zhong Qiqi was naturally unconvinced, and she muttered: "Grandpa is just partial! If you think I can't do it, then send your aunt. Anyway, Wang Yi definitely can't do it!"

Zhong Qiqi had always been unconvinced that Mr. Zhong favored Wang Yi, and when she saw that Mr. Zhong actually asked Wang Yi to replace the Zhong family to challenge Xiao Yazi, she was naturally disgusted.

It's better to let my aunt go, at least the chance of winning is better.

Huang Luyao agrees with Zhong Qiqi on this point. She doesn't want the teacher to bet the honor of the Zhong family on an outsider, and this outsider is still an unbearable loser.
