Hei Baizi stared at him in a daze: "You are so young yet you have such skill in chess. The key is that you even gave me a handicap at the beginning. I really have to admit that I'm getting old."
Zuan's face flushed. In fact, he had clearly gained an advantage by going first, but his opponent was caught up in the mindset of Go and thought he had given him a handicap: "Senior, you are too kind. Actually, the outcome was just a hair's breadth away. I almost lost several times in the middle of the game."
Hei Bai Zi laughed heartily: "So young yet so humble, not bad, not bad, Eighth Junior Sister, you have excellent taste."
Jiang Luofu gritted her teeth a little: "Don't talk nonsense, he's just an ordinary friend of mine."
These old geezers, I don't know what got into them, they're all randomly pairing people up.
"Ordinary friends?" Hei Baizi smiled smirkly. "I don't believe you for a second. This woman is wicked. I've never seen her get close to any man before, let alone personally bring him to the back mountain of the academy."
Do you think we're blind?!
Jiang Luofu couldn't stand his strange gaze, so she grabbed Zu An and said, "Azu, let's go. Don't pay any attention to this old geezer."
After saying that, he pulled him away in a hurry. Zu An could only apologize to Hei Bai Zi by cupping his hands and saying, "Farewell, senior."
Because he won the game against the black and white pieces, the restrictions he had just placed around the board disappeared automatically.
"Until we meet again, but I dare not accept your title of senior." Watching the two leave, Hei Baizi couldn't help but sigh, looking particularly lonely and melancholy.
Although Xie Xiu was secretly overjoyed, he still had to put on a show of grief and said, "Teacher, there's no need to be too sad. Azu just had a stroke of luck. His actual chess skills are definitely not as good as yours."
"You know nothing!" Hei Baizi was furious and launched into a tirade against him. "Only incompetent people would attribute other people's success to luck. If I lost, I lost. Master Zu's chess skills are the best I have ever seen in my life. He even gave me the first move, and I still lost. I only have admiration and respect for him. How could I be the kind of person who can't accept defeat?"
"Yes, yes, yes, teacher is so magnanimous." Xie Xiu quickly changed her approach to flattery.
Hei Baizi snorted: "Let's set up the board again and play a few games with your teacher."
"Huh?" Xie Xiu immediately looked miserable; he really felt like throwing up at the sight of Go.
"What 'ah'? Hurry up." Hei Baizi flicked his sleeve, and the two pieces on the chessboard, which were intertwined, were immediately separated into two sides. "This time, when you play Gomoku, you will learn the opening move that Mr. Zu just used. Let's review the game."
"Great! Great!" Xie Xiu's eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "I can't beat you at Go, but I can beat you at Gomoku. I just saw Zu An playing it so easily. I'll just repeat his moves and see how I crush you this time."
He sat down with great enthusiasm, but soon regretted it because he lost almost every hand.
The sounds of cursing from Hei Baizi could be heard intermittently from the pavilion.
"Idiot, idiot! You lost so quickly!"
"He's utterly hopeless!"
“Look at Mr. Zu, you are about the same age, why is there such a big difference between people?”
...
Xie Xiu was on the verge of tears. He could get his sister, but he couldn't marry his sister. The difference was huge.
Meanwhile, Zu'an, unaware that his friend was in dire straits because of him, took the opportunity to ask Jiang Luofu, "Sister, which of your fellow disciples are ahead? Give me a heads-up, so we won't be caught off guard if we run into them later."
Along the way, he felt like he was being completely drained. The reason he was able to deal with the previous ones was mainly due to the advantage of being a transmigrator, standing on the culmination of thousands of years of wisdom accumulated by the people of Earth.
But in his previous life, he was just a keyboard warrior. He could use all sorts of knowledge online to brag, but when he encountered a real expert, he was too easy to expose his ignorance.
Just now, I was almost stripped naked by Hei Baizi.
He didn't want to experience another few such scares.
Jiang Luofu smiled, seemingly pleased to be called "sister" by the young man. She coughed lightly and explained, "You don't need to worry about that, there's nothing left up ahead."
"That's all?" Zuan was taken aback. "Didn't the High Priest have twelve disciples? There are only a few here."
Jiang Luofu said, "Among Master's twelve disciples, three have mysterious identities. Even we may not know their identities. In any case, we have never seen them in the academy over the years."
"Which three?" Zu'an asked curiously, wanting to take this opportunity to find out more about the information. Although he had heard some things before, they were nothing compared to the explanation from the chief priest's direct disciple.
Jiang Luofu hesitated for a moment, but still explained: "Second Senior Brother is a doctor. No one knows his name or identity. They only know that he disappeared many years ago. Sixth Senior Sister is a painter. It is said that she entered the Dao through painting. Unfortunately, I have never met her and do not know who she is. Ninth Junior Sister is a singer. Few people know her identity. She has always been mysterious. When the time comes, we will naturally find out."
Zuan was completely bewildered. The High Priest was being so mysterious about taking on a disciple. Speaking of which, the proportion of female disciples among these disciples was not low. Adding Jiang Luofu and the junior sister mentioned earlier, there were at least four?
Is the chief priest also a lecherous old man?
The thought was quickly dispelled by Zuan, who secretly cursed himself. He had met the Chief Priest once in the Heavenly Prison. He was such a typical hermit, an elder, and had taught such outstanding disciples in all aspects. How could he be someone with such low tastes as me?
Well, I'll take on all this lowbrow entertainment.
