Chapter 246 – Bring Tang Tang to the challenge
"Stop! Put the child down!"
"Quick, surround him!"
"He looks like a kidnapper."
...
A group of school security guards surrounded Lin Jichen.
Lin Jichen: "....."
"I'm not a kidnapper, I'm here to pick up the child." Lin Jichen explained with a wry smile.
He realized he might have been too hasty, making his actions look like he was snatching the child...
"Who would believe you? Who picks up a child like this? Put the child down immediately! I'm warning you!"
Despite Niu Naitang defending Lin Jichen: "Uncle, he really is here to pick me up."
The security guards still didn't believe it, thinking the child might have been deceived.
Fortunately, Yan Ruyu arrived and told the security guards that Lin Jichen was indeed a parent of her student, allowing Lin Jichen to get away.
"Thank you, Teacher Yan, I almost got arrested by the security guards as a kidnapper." Lin Jichen thanked Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "You too, why were you in such a hurry to pick up the child?"
Lin Jichen coughed awkwardly, "I had something urgent to do and needed to get back quickly."
"Alright, then take the child and go. By the way, I tested Tang Tang today, she did very well, but it seems she didn't do her holiday homework properly." Yan Ruyu said.
Lin Jichen felt a bit embarrassed again, he had really tried to help her with it...
"That's good, thank you, Teacher Yan. We'll be heading back now."
Lin Jichen, feeling too embarrassed to stay, quickly took Tang Tang and left.
As they turned to leave, Tang Tang urged, "Brother Lin, let's go back quickly, I still need to play chess in Tale of Immortal."
"This time you have to help me with a task, okay?"
"Of course!"
"Alright, let's get back to the game!"
"Yay!"@@@@

Nangong Yue couldn't believe it and said with a wry smile, "Junior Brother, although I told you my grandfather wins chess games with some tricks, it doesn't mean he can't play chess. Bringing a child here is like handing him a free win for your Silver Moon Tiger."
She then suggested, "How about I go to the city with you to find another chess master? Let me tell you, my grandfather won't go easy on you just because you brought a little girl. He has a thick skin and won't hold back if he says he'll win your Silver Moon Tiger."
Lin Jichen couldn't help but laugh but remained confident, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, my sister can definitely win. I'll let you in on a secret, she's a disciple of the Chess Sect."
"Really? No way, she's so young, and already a Chess Sect disciple?" Nangong Yue was even more surprised.
Niu Naitang looked up and boasted, "Tang Tang's master is the Sect Leader, I asked him."
Nangong Yue was completely shocked, thinking this child must be a chess prodigy.
"If that's true, then there's no problem." Nangong Yue said, patting Niu Naitang's head and encouraging her, "So you're the disciple of the Chess Sect Leader, my apologies, little friend. Remember, don't hold back later, beat my grandfather thoroughly, make him lose everything."
Niu Naitang nodded innocently, wondering if the person was really her grandfather.
After Nangong Yue talked to the gatekeeping disciple and showed her token, the three of them headed to Spirit Beast Mountain.
Along the way, Niu Naitang looked around curiously.
"Brother Lin, is this where you joined?"
"Yes." Lin Jichen replied.
"It's so big and beautiful here, with so many pretty young ladies, unlike Tang Tang's sect, which is small and shabby, full of old men, and only has chess, which isn't fun at all." Niu Naitang complained.
Lin Jichen laughed heartily and comforted her, "It's okay, you can come here to play whenever you want, or I can take you outside to play."
"Okay!" Niu Naitang agreed happily.
When Elder Tianyuan saw Lin Jichen bringing this little girl to play chess with him, he almost laughed out loud.
He didn't think it was an insult, rather the weaker the opponent, the better, as it meant he could win more Silver Moon Tigers from Lin Jichen.
"Is this the helper you found?"
Elder Tianyuan stroked his white beard, looking at the seven or eight-year-old Niu Naitang with a triumphant expression.
"Yes, how does Elder Tianyuan want to compete?" Lin Jichen asked.
"How about this, five games to decide the winner. For each game you lose, you give me a Silver Moon Tiger. If you win three games, you can sell the pets from Spirit Beast Mountain." Elder Tianyuan said.
Lin Jichen nodded, "No problem, let's start."
"Good, good, let's start, hahaha, little girl, come play chess with me, but don't cry if you lose."
Elder Tianyuan was even happier, quickly setting up the chessboard, as if afraid Lin Jichen would change his mind.
How could he refuse these Silver Moon Tigers being handed to him?
