Chapter 484: Chapter 484 Showing Her True Abilities By Teasing Him Until She Was Satisfied, Shocking Everyone! (XVII)
Everyone felt that there was no suspense to the outcome of the battle. Although they were all watching, they were only watching casually. Most of them were waiting for Gu Qingxin’s victory.
For the first five steps, Gu Qingxin was very relaxed. His body was leaning to the side as if he was going to fall asleep at any moment.
However, after the fifth step, Gu Qingxin’s expression changed. It was obvious that he was very surprised that he still had not defeated Chu Wuyou by the fifth step.
He still did not pay too much attention to it and continued to play very casually.
After the tenth step, he slowly sat up straight. His expression was obviously more serious than before. It was no longer as if he was playing.
Those who were watching were also a little surprised. They obviously did not expect Chu Wuyou and Gu Qingxin to play chess for this long. Previously, Elder Ye was beaten after the eighth step.
“Did the girl just lie?” Elder Tang’s eyes kept widening, and there was a strange excitement in him.
“What do you mean by lying? There’s a saying in the art of war: ‘The truth is false, and the false is the truth.’ This girl is smart.” Madam Tang found Chu Wuyou pleasing to the eye. She would never allow anyone to say anything bad about Chu Wuyou, not even Elder Tang.
“Yes, yes, this girl is smart.” He echoed repeatedly.
“Do you think the girl will win?” It could be seen that Madam Tang was very nervous at the moment. More nervous than Chu Wuyou herself.
“That’s hard to say.” He could be considered objective. Gu Qingxin was, after all, the world champion. In terms of chess skills, no one could compare to him.
“Guanyin Bodhisattva of great mercy and compa.s.sion, please bless the girl so that she will win,” Madam Tang suddenly whispered.
Elder Tang almost laughed out loud. If Guanyin Bodhisattva was even involved in such matters, she would be swamped.
However, the last time he saw her beg Guanyin Bodhisattva was when they were trying to find their daughter and never saw her beg the G.o.ddess for anything else. However, she actually asked Guanyin Bodhisattva for help regarding a chess match.
It seemed that she really liked this girl.
Thinking of his daughter, Elder Tang’s felt disheartened again. If his daughter was still alive, she would have been married and had children by now. Under normal circ.u.mstances, their daughter could have been around the same age as the Chu Wuyou.
However, it had been more than forty years, and there was no news at all.
Elder Tang could not help but look at Madam Tang. When he saw her looking at Chu Wuyou, he noticed her face was full of nervousness and worry. It was obvious that she was not thinking about anything else.
He was slightly startled but immediately smiled faintly. If his daughter was really gone, the people alive would have to move on. He had always hoped that his wife would make peace with the fact that their daughter was gone.
Elder Tang felt that the carefree girl seemed to be able to easily attract his wife’s attention.
The compet.i.tion was still ongoing.
When Gu Qingxin had been careless earlier, Chu Wuyou had not lost. Although everyone was surprised, they could accept it.
At that moment, Gu Qingxin was already very serious, but Chu Wuyou had not lost yet…
Then, everyone’s gaze towards Chu Wuyou changed. It became incredulous.
Chu Wuyou had been looking at the chessboard the entire time. She looked very serious but gave people the feeling that she was as calm as a cloud in the sky since the start.
Slowly, everyone realized that Gu Qingxin was struggling. He was clearly a little anxious, but Chu Wuyou was still cool. There was no change at all.
Chu Wuyou took another step slowly. Gu Qingxin’s expression changed immediately…
