It was still the same room. This time Wang Mao did not take anything lightly. This game was a battle for face. He had to defeat Han Sanqian to re-establish his position in the Yuncheng Go world.
Although not many people know about losing chess, it was a huge psychological blow to Wang Mao because Han Sanqian was so young that Wang Mao thought he would never have such strength.
"My master is getting serious now. Please be careful. Don't blame me for not warning you." Xie Fei, standing behind Wang Mao, said to Han Sanqian with a smile.
Han Sanqian nodded, with a serious expression on his face, obviously already involved in the chess game.
There are thirty-eight criss-crossing lines and three hundred and sixty-one positions. From the moment you play chess, this is not a simple chessboard, but a battlefield.
Xie Fei did not watch the game between the two because he felt that the result was obvious and the process was not important at all.
But Tian Changsheng and Xu Huan took it very seriously.
Tian Changsheng learned from Han Sanqian that he was 100% sure that he could beat Wang Mao, so he wanted to see if Han Sanqian was really that powerful or just bragging.
Although Xu Huan didn't think Han Sanqian could win, she was curious about what kind of strength Han Sanqian could show and whether he could become her prince charming.
As the chess game progressed, Wang Mao's expression became more and more solemn. He was sure that he was serious enough and had a very serious attitude. However, the chess game was still not good for him. Even in the middle of the game, Wang Mao felt that
There was nothing he could do to save himself.
Only a few top players could put such great pressure on him on the chessboard, but the young man in front of him was clearly only in his twenties.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, in recent years, he has rarely felt this level of pressure when playing chess. Even if he could win, he would still look at Han Sanqian with admiration.
Xie Fei originally had a contemptuous expression on his face, but when he saw Wang Mao's face getting more and more ugly, he felt particularly uncomfortable. Did this man really win over his master?
After carefully looking at the situation on the chessboard, the master was indeed at a disadvantage. In the game in the morning, it could be said that the master took it lightly, but in this game, he was very serious.
If he loses even like this, wouldn't the master's reputation be completely destroyed in his hands?
No, this will never be allowed to happen.
Xie Fei gritted his teeth and walked to Wang Mao, pretending to be concerned and said: "Master, if you are tired, please take a rest."
Wang Mao shook his head. You can lose the chess game, but you can never lose your character.
Xie Fei looked at Han Sanqian coldly, pushed the chessboard with one hand, and the chess pieces scattered on the floor, and said: "My master is tired, I will play with you another day."
"Xie Fei, what are you doing?" Tian Chang said angrily.
Wang Mao also stood up suddenly, looked at Xie Fei angrily, and scolded: "What are you doing? It doesn't matter if I lose the game, do you want me to lose my character?"
Wang Mao usually likes Xie Fei very much, because Xie Fei is the most accomplished Go player among all his apprentices. Although his character has some flaws, in Wang Mao's opinion, it is not impossible to polish it.
As the saying goes, if jade is not polished, it cannot be used. Xie Fei is a very good material, but Wang Mao never expected that he would do such a thing.
"Wang Mao, have your elders given you such an upbringing? If they don't let you know what respect is, old man, I don't mind helping them educate them." Tian Changsheng was very dissatisfied. This was a wonderful game.
Even though he was just a bystander, he enjoyed watching the game. It was ruined before the end, and he felt as if he had eaten half a worm from the delicious food.
Xie Fei's expression changed drastically. If Tian Changsheng hated the Xie family because of this incident, the mistake he made would not only ruin a game of chess, but also ruin the entire Xie family.
"Grandpa Tian, I'm sorry. I just saw that Master was tired, so I acted impulsively. Please forgive me." Xie Fei said in a panic.
Tian Changsheng didn't even look at Xie Fei, but took out the phone. At his age, it was difficult for him to find an interesting thing. Xie Fei was so ignorant and just apologized, how could he feel better?
"Let the Xie family go upstairs." Tian Changsheng said on the phone.
Xie Fei was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he knelt down in front of Tian Changsheng: "Grandpa Tian, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive my impulsiveness, I deserve to die, I deserve to die."
Xu Huan originally respected Xie Fei, his senior brother, but at this moment he couldn't help but look at him with contempt. It was so shameless. He used such shameless means to ruin the chess game. He really thought he could make the master
Doesn't losing face mean you're embarrassed? What an idiot.
"Master, please, please save me." Xie Fei saw that Tian Changsheng ignored him and knelt down to Wang Mao. After all, he was Wang Mao's close disciple, and Wang Mao should not refuse to save him.
But now Wang Mao feels that he has been completely humiliated by Xie Fei. It is indeed difficult for him to accept losing chess, but he cannot accept using this method to escape losing.
"Xie Fei, I thought your character was worth carving out, but I didn't expect you to be so confused." Wang Mao said through gritted teeth.
Judging from this tone, does Wang Mao intend to save himself?
Xie Fei was about to collapse. He never thought that such a trivial matter could have such serious consequences.
The Xie family quickly arrived in the room. When they saw Xie Fei kneeling on the ground, they knew something was wrong. They had made the old man of the Tian family unhappy!
Xie Fei's father walked up to Xie Fei, slapped him twice on the face, and cursed: "You bastard, what the hell did you do!"
The Xie family has a pretty good status in Yuncheng, better than the Su family. However, the reason why they were invited to the birthday banquet is because Xie Fei is valued by Wang Mao. Normally, Xie Fei has a high status in the family, and no one dares to speak loudly to him, because the Xie family
All hope for its development lies with him.
But today, he offended Tian Changsheng, and Xie Fei's father did not dare to indulge him in the slightest.
"Xie Fei, from today on, you are no longer my apprentice." Wang Mao said.
Xie Fei’s father was immediately frightened!
What happened? Wang Mao was expelled from the division.
Without this relationship, what status would the Xie family have in Yuncheng?
"Take your son and get out. From today on, thank your family for not showing up in front of me. Otherwise, I won't let you go." Tian Changsheng said coldly.
Xie Fei's eyes were dull. There is a saying in chess that one wrong move means one wrong move. Only now did he realize how wrong his move was.
His original intention was to please Wang Mao, but now he can't even keep his identity as a disciple.
After the Xie family dragged Xie Fei out of the room, Wang Mao sighed and said to Han Sanqian: "Let's play another game."
Although he knew that he would probably lose, Wang Mao was not willing to lose his character.
"Grandpa Wang, you are not in a good state of mind today. It would be unfair for you to play another game. Let's do it next time. When you feel better, I will definitely pay you a visit." Han Sanqian said.
Wang Mao knew that Han Sanqian was trying to give him a chance. If he persisted, he would be in disgrace today.
"Tian Changsheng, you old guy has made a good friend." Wang Mao sighed.
Tian Changsheng looked proud and said: "Of course, the person I can see in my eyes can be an ordinary person?"
"Little brother, next time I have a chance, I will definitely fight you again." Wang Mao said to Han Sanqian with his hands clasped in fists.
"I'm looking forward to it." Han Sanqian said.
Wang Mao took the lead to leave, but Xu Huan was still stunned. When Xu Huan refused to leave, Wang Mao reminded: "Why are you still standing there?"
After Xu Huan heard this, he reluctantly followed Wang Mao's pace.
After walking out of the room, Xu Huan said delicately: "Master, I don't even know his name. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Little girl, couldn't you see that he is Tian Changsheng's intended grandson-in-law? What qualifications do you have to compete with Tian Ling'er?" Wang Mao said with a wry smile.
Xu Huan pouted and said unconvinced: "I've never tried, how do I know I can't compete? Her family is rich and powerful, but that doesn't mean she's better at pleasing men than I am."
"You, you, you really won't look back until you hit the wall." Wang Mao said helplessly.
Xu Huan's expression suddenly became serious and he asked: "Master, if the game of chess just now continues, you..."
Wang Mao took a deep breath and said, "We will definitely lose."
