Sihou Xing immediately withdrew his hand. "I don't know, I'm sorry."

Although he was smiling, there was a hint of impatience in his eyes. Fools always have so many problems. He really couldn't understand how Master Nie could have fallen for this fool. It made him furious.

It turns out that Sihou Xing is not as warm and cheerful as he appears. In fact, he is a very petty person who often magnifies trivial matters. These are usually small things that make him unhappy, and even after more than ten years, they will remain etched in his memory.

Master Nie rejected him, and Si Haoxing remembered it even more clearly. He also harbored resentment towards Master Nie, but he only dared to complain secretly in his heart. He didn't even dare to tell his parents, after all, Master Nie was a master respected by everyone, and if he said anything, it would cause a nationwide attack.

Moreover, Master Nie never took on any more disciples, which made Sihaoxing feel somewhat more at ease.

But Ye Tong's appearance completely threw Sihao Star out of balance. The little devil of jealousy in his heart was growing every day, and his target was Ye Tong.

He'd never be this angry if he lost to anyone else, but losing to an idiot was something he just couldn't swallow.

Sihaoxing's performance in this competition was not ideal, even worse than the previous one, while Ye Tong overcame all obstacles and achieved excellent results. Instead of reflecting on his own performance, Sihaoxing thought it was because of Master Nie.

If he had become Master Nie's apprentice back then, he would definitely have won several world championships by now, and he would be far more capable than that fool.

Si Haoxing was indignant, but he didn't show it on his face. Ye Tong looked up at him, took a few steps to the side, and moved away from him. He felt that Si Baduan was a little unhappy, so he decided to stay away.

"Goodbye, Daddy, Sweetie!"

Ye Tong waved and went in side by side with Si Haoxing. He was simple-minded and had no idea of ​​Si Haoxing's malice. Ye Mingcheng and Tian Tian, ​​on the other hand, had only met Si Haoxing a few times. This guy was very good at putting on a show, and they had a pretty good impression of him.

Goodbye, we'll be waiting for you outside.

Ye Mingcheng and Tian Tian waved goodbye. After the door closed, they found a place to sit down. After the celebration banquet ended, Ye Mingcheng went to a store outside and bought some snacks and candies for Tian Tian to eat, while he read medical books to pass the time.

Time passed quietly, and the celebration banquet was halfway through. The leaders' speeches had ended, and the meal began. The dishes were particularly sumptuous, and the hotel chefs had used all their skills to create tables of dishes that were both beautiful and delicious.

Ye Tong sat next to Si Haoxing. Si Haoxing was quite eloquent, quite the opposite of the other taciturn and introverted chess players. He was particularly uninhibited at the dinner table, making witty remarks and creating a lively atmosphere. Ye Tong, on the other hand, sat quietly, eating his favorite food without uttering a sound.

During this time, many chess players from other countries came over to say hello. Most of them had played against Ye Tong before, including Tsumabuki Minami. Ye Tong doesn't drink alcohol, so he substituted it with a soft drink and unknowingly drank a bellyful of orange juice.

Service staff moved constantly through the venue; there were men and women, all of similar height, and all of them smiled, revealing eight large teeth. Their movements were swift and steady, without a single flaw, as smooth as flowing water.

Those selected to serve foreign guests are undoubtedly the best among the service staff. There are uniform requirements for appearance and height, and even their smiles and walking distances are measured with a ruler. They are absolutely standardized and cannot make any mistakes.

However, there are still two somewhat discordant anomalies.

They were two male hotel staff members. Although they were wearing the same uniform, they were rather muscular and tall. Their hotel uniforms were stretched taut, making one worry that they might burst open at any moment.
