Chapter 591: Crisis
Everyone present, even though they were all dying of old age fifty years later, the scene of them seeing Xia Wanyuan for the first time was still vivid in their minds.
It was already a little gloomy on a rainy day. The courtyard of the Go Club was a building with an ancient style. There were carved doors and eaves.
Xia Wanyuan was wearing a green dress and a light-colored scarf around her neck. She held a bamboo umbrella.
Just like that, she walked in the rain with cold eyes. Standing under the ancient roof, one could not help but guess if she was a n.o.ble lady from ancient times.
Xia Wanyuan did not expect to see this when she pushed open the door. She put away her umbrella and stood at the door.
“Miss Xia.” Li Yi saw Xia Wanyuan and wiped the rain off his face. He walked to Xia Wanyuan, afraid that the water on his body would stain her, and stopped two meters away from her.
“The chess club doesn’t allow outsiders to enter or leave! Who are you? Get out!” Although Jack was also shocked by how exquisite the Eastern woman looked, the most important thing now was to establish his might.
“She’s not an outsider. She’s here to join the a.s.sociation,” Li Yi said to Jack seriously.
“Her? Enter the a.s.sociation?” Jack found it funny.
Although in his eyes, the members of the China Go Club were all useless, they were at least professionals. The woman in front of him looked as exquisite as a doll. Furthermore, she was dressed in branded clothes, so how did she look like she knew how to play chess?
“That’s right.” Li Yi looked at Jack with certainty. “Since you’re the head coach now, you’re in charge of accepting her.”
“Pfft.” Jack laughed and walked to Xia Wanyuan. “Little sister, this is not a place for you to play.”
“How can I join the a.s.sociation?” Xia Wanyuan asked, her voice even lighter than the drizzle.
“Enter the a.s.sociation? You? That’s impossible.” Jack did not believe that this woman could enter the Go a.s.sociation at all. Furthermore, she seemed to be someone brought over by Li Yi, this thorn, so it was even more impossible for her to enter.
“Really?” Xia Wanyuan shook the water on the umbrella. “Why?”
“Because you don’t have skills. Do you see that? You’re the same as that man. Without skills, you don’t deserve to stay in this place.” Jack pointed at Elder Liu, who was standing beside him.
Xia Wanyuan glanced at the white-haired Elder Liu, then looked at Jack. Although Jack was 1.9 meters tall, Xia Wanyuan stood in front of him and made people feel that his aura was suppressed by Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly and waved at Li Yi. “Do you have to choose the player from the Go a.s.sociation for the Master Compet.i.tion you mentioned last time?”
“No need. That is global, but amateurs need to be tested online. They can only enter the preliminaries after pa.s.sing the test.” Li Yi explained to Xia Wanyuan in detail.
“Okay, I understand.” Xia Wanyuan picked up the umbrella. “I won’t be joining this a.s.sociation for the time being. Maybe a while later.”
“That’s too funny. Miss, do you know what the master compet.i.tion means?”
Jack, who had listened to Xia Wanyuan and Li Yi’s conversation, was stunned by Xia Wanyuan’s casual tone.
As the champion of the World Go Compet.i.tion, he had partic.i.p.ated in several Masters compet.i.tions. In the end, he did not even make it to the finals and was eliminated midway.
There were truly experts everywhere. No world champion would have such a matter-of-fact tone like this woman in front of him.
Should I call the Chinese naive or ignorant?
“No matter what it means, I just want to remind you not to be too ruthless. It will backfire.” Now, she was not a member of the a.s.sociation and did not have the right to interfere in other people’s matters. After saying this, Xia Wanyuan held the umbrella and left.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan disappear into the rain again, everyone still felt that it was a little unreal.
“Go to Qing University.” Xia Wanyuan came over with an umbrella, opened the car door, and sat in.
“Alright.”
The rain grew heavier. In the continuous rain, Xia Wanyuan looked at the rain outside the window.
However, she realized that this path was different from the one she had taken when she arrived.
Thinking of something, Xia Wanyuan did not show it on her face, but a warning light had already lit up in her heart.
Xia Wanyuan quietly pressed on her phone a few times and said, “I left something at the chess club. Let’s go back the way we came..”
