"Grandpa, do you know Grandpa Yan?" Mu Qianxue asked after hearing Mr. Zhou say Grandpa Yan's name.

Mr. Zhou stepped forward and grabbed Mu Qianxue's hand: "The person who taught you Go is really... named Yan Tianlei?"

Mu Qianxue nodded.

Mr. Zhou spoke eagerly again: "Then where is he now?"

Mu Qianxue lowered her eyes, looking a little sad.

"Grandpa Yan... passed away more than a year ago..."

Probably remembering the sad past, Mu Qianxue turned around and threw herself into Gu Jingyuan's arms, sobbing softly.

Gu Jingyuan hugged her tightly and slowly comforted her.

"He... passed away..." Mr. Zhou fell into his chair, his eyes filled with tears.

After a while, Mu Qianxue calmed down, turned around and asked Mr. Zhou: "Grandpa, do you know Grandpa Yan?"

Mr. Zhou raised his hand and wiped his eyes, then slowly said: "I know...him, he is my senior brother..."

"Could it be the chess master who has been missing for more than twenty years?" Gu Jingyuan asked aloud.

Gu Jingyuan has also heard about the legend of "Chess Saint".

It is rumored that his chess skills are more advanced than Mr. Zhou's, and he was the original founder of the Go Association. But more than 20 years ago, for unknown reasons, he suddenly disappeared, and no one has seen him since. Unexpectedly,

He is Xueer's grandfather. No wonder the little girl is so good at chess.

Thinking of the things Mu Qianxue brought down the mountain, it seems that the identities of Xueer's other grandparents are also not simple.

"Yes..." Mr. Zhou looked at the chessboard and spoke slowly...

"I have been fond of Go since I was a child. I often led others to play chess and never lost. At that time, I was young and energetic. I felt that my chess skills were invincible. I was even more proud of myself and looked for others to compete with me everywhere. Maybe I was too proud and complacent.

God can't stand it anymore. When I was twenty years old, I lost for the first time in my life playing chess, and the person who beat me was your Grandpa Yan."

Mr. Zhou looked at Mu Qianxue and paused for a while before continuing.

"It was the first time I met someone who could beat me. I was very dissatisfied. I read countless books every day and went to compete with him every now and then. But every time, I lost, and I finally realized that I was not as good as others.

The fact is also the same. Over time, I became familiar with your Grandpa Yan."

"After that, whenever I encountered a problem, I went to ask him for advice. To tell you the truth, I wanted to take him as my teacher at that time. But he said that we were similar in age and should be considered brothers. He is a few years older than me, and he is also good at chess.

He is above me, so I call him Senior Brother."

"At that time, there were not many people in the Imperial City who liked Go. My senior brother felt that we should carry forward what our ancestors left behind and let it go out of the Imperial City and abroad. So we founded the Go Association."

"When the association was first established, there were only me and my senior brother. It was my senior brother who traveled around every day and promoted it everywhere, so other people gradually joined, and the Go Association also gradually developed."

"My senior brother was the president of the association at that time, and I was the vice-president. During his decades in the association, my senior brother solved countless difficult chess games and left countless books and notes."

"Twenty-six years ago, my senior brother suddenly left a letter and left. The letter said that if the Go Association can develop and the wisdom of the ancestors can be passed on, his wish has come true. He said that the Go Association will hand over

He gave it to me, hoping that I could continue to promote Go. He asked me not to go to him, because he wanted to find a place to retire."

"After that, I never saw him again. Twenty-six years later, I didn't expect to hear news about him again, but it was the news that he had passed away..."

Mr. Zhou's voice was choked and he looked at Mu Qianxue.

"Senior brother has never married and had children in his life. Your chess skills are so superb. He must have handed over all his lifelong learning to you. In this way, he can be regarded as having a successor."

Mu Qianxue listened to the past between Mr. Zhou and Grandpa Yan, looked at his sad look, and couldn't help but stepped forward to comfort him: "Grandpa, don't be sad..."

Mr. Zhou hugged her: "Good child, grandpa is not sad, not sad..."

Mu Qianxue gently stroked Mr. Zhou's back with her little hand to comfort him.

After a while, Mr. Zhou let her go.

"Good boy, since you call your senior brother grandpa, how about you also call me grandpa?"

"Well, Grandpa Zhou." Mu Qianxue nodded and called him.

"Okay, good girl." Mr. Zhou touched her head.

Then he pointed to the chessboard: "This ice crystal chessboard was given to me by my senior brother. Now that it is given to you, it can be regarded as returning to the original owner. Speaking of which, my senior brother has a chessboard called Hanyu chessboard. It is white and flawless. It is better than this one."

The ice crystal chessboard is even more beautiful..."

"I have seen the cold jade chessboard. Grandpa Yan gave it to me before he died." Mu Qianxue heard the cold jade chessboard and said.

It was too late for Gu Jingyuan to stop her. That's all, Mr. Zhou wouldn't rob her, and there were no outsiders here, so he said what he said.

Mr. Zhou was startled when he heard this: "I didn't expect that senior brother actually gave you the cold jade chessboard. I guess he recognized your chess skills. Girl, do you want to go to the Go Association with grandpa to have a look? It was founded by your grandpa Yan."

"Founded by Grandpa Yan?"

"yes."

Mu Qianxue turned to look at Gu Jingyuan: "Brother Yuan, can you go?"

Gu Jingyuan touched her head: "Does Xueer want to go?"

"I want to go." Mu Qianxue nodded.

"Okay, let's go then."

After Gu Jingyuan finished speaking, he led Mu Qianxue and walked out.

Li Qi picked up the chessboard, supported Mr. Zhou and walked out.

————————————————

On the way to the Go Association, Mr. Zhou had been thinking about a question. He wanted to hand over the Go Association to Mu Qianxue.

The Go Association was originally founded by his senior brother, and the initial president was also his senior brother, not him. If his senior brother had not left suddenly twenty-six years ago, he would not have taken over the association. In the past twenty-six years, he has been thinking about the day he will wait.

Senior brother is back, give him the position of president.

Twenty-six years have passed, and everyone in the world knows Zhou Zhengde, the "chess fanatic", but fewer and fewer people know about the "chess sage" Yan Tianlei. The honor of "the number one Go player in the imperial capital" should have belonged to his senior brother.

It's a pity that the senior brother has passed away. But fortunately, he still has a successor, and this successor is already better than him in chess skills at a young age. If the association is left in her hands, it will definitely continue to flourish!

When they arrived at the Go Association, Mr. Zhou took them to the president's room.

"Girl, Master Gu, come and sit down."

Gu Jingyuan took Mu Qianxue and sat on the sofa.

Mr. Zhou looked at Mu Qianxue and said, "Girl, this office is your grandpa Yan's office."

Mr. Zhou pointed to a bookshelf again and said, "The books on this bookshelf are all the chess records recorded by your Grandpa Yan."

"Grandpa Yan's record? Can I see it?" Mu Qianxue asked.

"Of course." Mr. Zhou nodded.

Mu Qianxue stepped forward and took the chess book and read it: "It is indeed Grandpa Yan's handwriting."
