Chapter 247 – The Abused Elder Tianyuan Niu Naitang, not to be outdone, said, "Old grandpa, if you lose, you can't cry, okay?" "Hahaha, what an interesting little girl. Don't worry, if you really win, grandpa will give you an extra pet as a reward!" Elder Tianyuan was rarely this generous, because he believed there was no way he could lose. Besides, he had a backup plan. The top Go master in Fengqu City was drinking tea in his courtyard. Fearing that Lin Jichen might bring in some expert he couldn't handle, Elder Tianyuan had preemptively brought the master over and hidden him. If things went south, he planned to use a mental secret technique to cheat and have the Go master guide him, ensuring his victory. But now, it seemed he didn't need the master's help at all. He could easily win on his own. Gagaga...@@@@ An old man and a young girl sat facing each other, a Go board between them, black and white stones clearly separated. Nangong Wu sat behind Elder Tianyuan, curious about who would win the bet between his father and Lin Jichen. Of course, he hoped his father would win. But Lin Jichen and Nangong Yue sat behind Niu Naitang, cheering her on. Nangong Yue even openly cheered for Niu Naitang, showing no intention of supporting her grandfather. The game began. In the guessing part, Niu Naitang lost, and Elder Tianyuan took the black stones to go first. Guessing the first move was too easy for Elder Tianyuan. Seeing Elder Tianyuan take the initial advantage, Nangong Yue started to worry, but Lin Jichen reassured her to stay calm. Lin Jichen had full confidence in Niu Naitang. Even the Sect Leader of the Chess Sect could only tie with her; dealing with Elder Tianyuan would be a piece of cake. Although Elder Tianyuan went first with the black stones, Niu Naitang's expression remained calm. Every time Elder Tianyuan placed a black stone, her white stone followed immediately. She seemed not to need any thought, nor did she need to ponder her moves. At first, Elder Tianyuan could keep up with Niu Naitang's pace, but as the board filled up by a third, he started to struggle. Each move took him longer to think about, his brows furrowed, occasionally scratching his beard and coughing before finally placing a stone. But Niu Naitang seemed bored, propping her face up with her hand, ready to place her white stone at any moment. Despite this, Elder Tianyuan's brows remained tightly knit, sweat forming on his forehead, growing increasingly anxious, unsure of his next move. "Grandpa, can you hurry up? I still have homework to do." Niu Naitang, bored from waiting, urged him. "Don't rush, don't rush, let me think." Elder Tianyuan's momentum had significantly weakened, scratching his head even more. Nangong Wu, speechless, moved his chair further away. "Hold on, I need a drink of water." For the third game, Elder Tianyuan used the excuse of drinking water to temporarily leave. When he returned, he wore a confident smile. The astute Nangong Yue immediately sensed something was off and whispered to Lin Jichen, "I think grandpa's going to use his old trick again. Should we expose him?" Lin Jichen, unconcerned, said, "No need, we'll win for sure." Nangong Yue then dismissed the thought and continued watching. In this game, Elder Tianyuan seemed completely different from the previous two. He was calm and composed. His moves were swift, much faster than before. "Huh? Grandpa, you seem smarter now." Niu Naitang was a bit surprised, noticing that Elder Tianyuan had successfully countered some of her traps. He wasn't this smart before. Elder Tianyuan chuckled, "I was just letting you win the first two games. This time, I'm serious." Niu Naitang nodded, half-understanding, "Then Tang Tang will be serious too." With that, she placed her stone. Soon, Elder Tianyuan's speed slowed again, and he struggled with each move. Elder Tianyuan grew increasingly anxious, his worry evident on his face. After half an hour of intense battle, Niu Naitang won again. "Yay! I won! Grandpa, you lost! You have to keep your promise!" Nangong Yue was the first to stand up and applaud. Elder Tianyuan's face turned pale, then red. He slapped his thigh and said, "No, let's go again!" Lin Jichen interjected, "Elder, according to the rules, it's best of five. We've already won." "I know, I'm not going back on my word. I just want to finish the remaining two games! Can we call it a tiebreaker?" "But there's no bet left, so what's the point?" Lin Jichen argued. "Who said there's no bet? For the next two games, if you lose, you still give me the Silver Moon Tiger. If I lose, you can pick a pet of the same level from the Spirit Beast Garden. Is that fair?" Elder Tianyuan shouted. Hearing this, Lin Jichen reluctantly nodded, agreeing with difficulty.
