Chapter 416: Chess Piece

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Guo Hua and his family stayed at Guo Miao’s house.

It was the New Year, and everyone had nothing to do. They started playing mahjong at home. The children also went to find their own things to play with.

Xuxu hadn’t explored the entire neighborhood before, so he was very curious. He wandered around and soon went out of sight.

Guo Miao searched the courtyard for a few rounds before she spotted Xuxu in the small park in the backyard.

Xuxu was sitting in front of a stone stool under a tree, staring intently at the chess board.

An old man sat opposite Xuxu.

The old man was wearing a dark blue Tang suit and looked to be in his 60s or 70s. He was hale and hearty, and his brows flickered with the brilliance of wisdom.

Xuxu frowned as he stared at the chessboard. It took him a long time to place a piece.

The old man looked at Xuxu’s move and smiled. “Little classmate, are you really going to play this move? You might lose because of it.”

Xuxu shook his head, but his eyes were still fixed on the chessboard. “A chess player shall not regret a move.”

When the old man heard this, he nodded approvingly and placed another chess piece on the chessboard.

Guo Miao stood far away and watched the old and the young play chess. She could see the game on the chessboard.

The old man’s style of playing chess was strange. Every move seemed unrelated, but the entire game was in his grasp.

When Xuxu was playing, he would subconsciously be influenced by the old man’s chess game and make a wrong judgment.

Looking at the chess pieces on the board, Guo Miao sighed softly.

Xuxu might lose to this elder.

This old man’s chess skills were superb. Even Guo Miao, who had transmigrated back from the Empire, had to admire him. He should be at the level of a national expert.

Just as Guo Miao was wondering who this person was, the old man placed a piece on the chessboard and ended the game.

“I lost.” Xuxu shrugged his shoulders and stood up. He bowed to the old man. “Grandpa, I’m convinced that your chess skills are superb. 1 hope to play against you again in the future.”

The old man stroked his beard and laughed.

“You’re a very talented young man. Does your family live in this neighborhood?” the old man asked.

“Yes.” Xuxu nodded.

“I want to meet your family members and take you in as my disciple. Are you willing to be my disciple?” the old man asked.

“I should ask my sister.” Xuxu didn’t know if he should agree to the old man’s request. Although he liked playing chess, it was just a hobby outside of his studies. He had never thought of learning from a master.

“Young man, think about it carefully. 1 hope you can become a chess player who will bring glory to the country.”

“Mr. Hai, you are too kind to assume that he will win glory for the country.” Guo Miao walked out from behind Xuxu. “As expected of a national chess player, that chess game was really exquisite. I don’t think there’s anyone in the world who could’ve won this chess game.”

The old man’s eyes lit up as he looked at Guo Miao. “Are you this child’s family member?”

Guo Miao nodded.

“I think he is very talented in chess. If he is properly nurtured, he will probably be even better than me in the future,” Hai Yin said.

Guo Miao could tell that Xuxu had played a good game of chess, but it would be an exaggeration to say that he was better than a national chess player.

She looked at the old man in confusion.

“In the game just now, this young man set up two traps. 1 almost didn’t see through them. Haha, Haicheng is really full of talents.” Hai Yin pointed at the chessboard and gestured to Guo Miao.

Hai Yin started learning Chinese chess when he was seven or eight years old. Before he was 30, he represented China and won the first international award. His talent was not something that ordinary people could compare to.

After that, he continued to play in the international chess world. When he was 40, he chose to retire and give the stage to other young people. He had retired for so many years and had never taken in a disciple.

“This is my name card. If you two have decided, you can come and find me.” Hai Yin handed the name card to Guo Miao.

It was a handwritten business card with an exquisite chessboard drawn on it. His name, “Hai Yin” was also represented by two fine small letters, and a string of phone numbers was at the bottom.

“We will consider it carefully.” Guo Miao bowed deeply to the old man..
