The Immortal Fire

Chapter 43: Playing Weiqi

Xi Guan laughed out loud when he heard the statements of the two boys before him, he even had a chance to wipe the corner of his slightly watery eyes.

"Snick boy, are you thinking of challenging me?"

"Forget it, I'm too busy to serve the children's game with you guys" Xi Guan sighed lazily.

Fang Yao looked displeased as Xi Guan underestimated them. He pulled Jia Li back and gave up, but the girl grew even more excited.

Jia Li smiled obliquely in response to the scathing reply from that sect master. "Chairman Cheng, are you afraid of losing? Come on, after all, playing one or two rounds won't take much of your time."

Xi Guan was immediately obvious to make, Jia Li is even though he is bad at martial arts, but his speech ability is quite good. Xi Guan until growling made.

"If we win, you'll have to take us to the YuTong test. On the contrary if you win, you can get us out of the sect," Jia Li said confidently.

Besides being good at speaking, Jia Li's ability in playing Weiqi also need not be doubted. He was quite proficient because he often practiced sparring and accompanied Old Man Jiang Shuai in his free time.

Xi Guan chuckled bitterly, the arrow of insinuation stuck right in his heart. "Cih, your tongue is shrewd too. You're trying to take advantage of the loss, sneaky."

"Xiao Li, isn't your goal of taking this exam to exit the sect?" xi Guan asked rhetorically.

Jia Li and Fang Yao looked at each other, coding each other for quite some time.

"Look, Chairman Cheng. You can determine for yourself the consequences, we will accept unconditionally." this time Fang Yao spoke up.

Xi Guan only smiled as he nodded his head, the two brats before him started to look enthusiastic.

"It could be, but I don't have time."

The face of Jia Li who had been excited, now turned flat again. Xi Guan was about to leave that place, he seemed like he would never give it a chance.

I don't know what the problem is with this old man in front of them. If only the old man hadn't been the sect head, Jia Li would have already scolded him.

Meanwhile, Fang Yao's expression could not be deciphered. Not knowing from when the face was always cold when staring at Xi Guan, he looked withdrawn and dislike that looked obvious.

"The chairman is very cold-hearted, it's appropriate that Liu'er never admitted you." Jia Li grumbled to himself, he shrunk the volume of his voice so that Xi Guan could not hear what he was saying.

But he was wrong, Xi Guan stopped his steps. The instant that Jia Li was sculpting on the spot, Xi Guan looked at Jia Li inside.

Although invisible, they could sense there was an aura of intimidation from Xi Guan. Long they fixated on each other, finally the conversation reopened.

"The opportunity is only once" Xi Guan sighed again, but this time headed towards the gazebo surrounded by a lotus pond.

There is a round wooden table and four matching chairs, with the addition of a Weiqi board and two bowls containing pieces of different colors.

With a look of question marks, Jia Li and Fang Yao followed Xi Guan from behind. The corner of the girl's lips lifted up thinly.

Xi Guan immediately sat down, followed by Jia Li in the seat opposite to him. Meanwhile Fang Yao was on the middle side that became between them.

"Don't let me down."

Xi Guan took out a bowl containing black pawns, put his hand inside to grab the small round object.

Now that Jia Li had become serious, he did the same with his white-colored pawn bowl. That way, Xi Guan immediately opened the game by putting one piece right in the middle of the board.

Not to be outdone, Jia Li launched an attack by blocking the black pawn to mark his territory. Xi Guan stroked his beard while thinking for a while before returning to throw the pawn.

They ended up exchanging attacks. You could say their abilities were almost evenly matched, but Xi Guan was slightly superior.

"May you too, Xiao Li" Xi Guan chuckled softly without taking his eyes off the Weiqi board.

Unable to hide, it was obvious that the old man was quite overwhelmed by it. But for the sake of protecting self-esteem over an age that was no longer young, Xi Guan made as flat an expression as possible.

Jia Li glanced at Fang Yao gesturing as Xi Guan was busy observing the array of pawns that had already locked onto each other, the young man smiled as if understanding his intent.

'Look, ' inner Xi Guan when the pawn is no longer able to walk.

Jia Li smiled triumphantly, it turned out that Xi Guan's every move had already backfired for himself. The moment that happened, Jia Li had already put down the pawn to block the array of black pieces.

"It seems, the Chairman already has no way out," Fang Yao said implying victory.

The old man looked at them alternately with an expression of disbelief.  "No way, this must be because I'm too careless. Let's repeat it again!"

"Chairman, this is outrageous. Obviously I've won the game," Jia Li immediately stood up in regret.

Fang Yao also felt astonished by the attitude of his Chairman who had always been fair now was suddenly unwilling to admit wrongdoing.

"Chairman Cheng, this is really unfair. You can't cheat." Fang Yao looked back at Xi Guan.

Whatever the story, what is clear Xi Guan as the head of the sect who has a hobby of playing chess still should not be inferior to the young stink in front of him.

Xi Guan really could not believe what was happening, he thought that Jia Li was just lucky.

Jia Li squeezed the pawn in his palm forcefully. "You have to keep the agreement, you have to let us take the YuTong exam."

"It's not a matter of exams, but of my self-esteem!" Xi Guan kicked down the table and made a noise.

As the quarrel caught the attention of the sect residents, the disciples and elders began to gather to find out what had happened.

"This time again, we play one more round. If I lose, then I will acknowledge and grant your wishes," Xi Guan's rampage made more and more people come.

Jia Li nodded to Fang Yao as a gesture, Fang Yao also replied to the same.

"All right." Jia Li sat back quietly, "This one round is watched by many witnesses, defeating you once again is not a big deal."

Now that the audience cheered as the game resumed, it was Jia Li's turn to hold the black piece. The girl threw a lot of deadly attacks, making her co-star frown.

With confidence again Jia Li blocked all the white pawns that existed until they could not move anymore.

"Repeat, repeat again!!"

"AGAIN!"
