Ye Qingqing nodded vigorously, "I'll definitely get it, maybe it won't be long!"
For some reason, she had an inexplicable confidence in Xiaotong.
Her brother is just so amazing!
In her past life, she failed to take good care of Xiao Tong, causing Xiao Tong's talent to be buried and resulting in Xiao Tong having her heart ripped out. In this life, she wants to make up for all the regrets of her past life, making Xiao Tong famous all over the world and a superstar as dazzling as Cui Shi.
Yes, it will!
Lu Mo was equally confident. Xiao Tong had already entered the national team, and his mentor was Nie Zhonghua, a retired former world champion. He had both strength and competition experience, and he would definitely be able to lead Xiao Tong to win the international championship.
Actually, when Xiao Tong first joined the national team, the coach assigned to him was not Nie Zhonghua, but another one. Although he was also very good, he was far behind the previous generation's chess master, Nie Zhonghua.
Moreover, Nie Zhonghua has an eccentric personality. Since announcing his retirement from competitions ten years ago, he has rarely appeared in public. However, the legend of him has never disappeared. Many Go enthusiasts hope that another genius like Nie Zhonghua will emerge to bring glory to the nation!
In recent years, Cui Shi has basically stolen the limelight from Go tournaments, even though Go is still the national treasure of Greater China!
Some people worry that if Go continues to decline in China, Korea will claim it as their national treasure. After all, this small country is quite shameless!
We've done this kind of thing countless times before!
Therefore, everyone urgently needs a brilliant Go genius to emerge and defeat Korea and China. Internationally, the only countries that are good at Go are China, Korea, and China.
Of course, there are other countries as well, but there aren't many top players. World champions are basically born in the three countries. Cui Shi has held the world number one ranking for several years.
Nie Zhonghua and Xiao Tong were destined to meet. Not long after Xiao Tong joined the national team, he was discovered by Master Nie. Coincidentally, Master Nie, who rarely showed his face, suddenly decided to visit the national team that day and saw Xiao Tong playing chess with his teammates.
Nie Zhonghua, who is over forty years old, looks older than his peers. He is dressed very plainly and is wearing flip-flops. Even the gatekeeper looks more stylish than him. As soon as Xiao Tong enters the game, he completely forgets the people and things around him and enters a state of selflessness. His eyes and mind are only on Go and his opponent.
Nie Zhonghua stood behind Xiao Tong with his hands behind his back and watched for more than an hour until Xiao Tong completely defeated his seventh-dan teammate. Nie Zhonghua said nothing, turned around and left. A few days later, Xiao Tong came to Nie Zhonghua's side and gloriously became his first apprentice.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be his last term.
The master-level mentor is indeed extraordinary. Xiao Tong has made rapid progress and achieved excellent results in competitions one after another. Everyone says that Xiao Tong is the biggest dark horse this year, which is beyond everyone's expectations.
It was truly an overnight sensation. I had never heard of Xiao Tong before, and suddenly he became the beloved disciple of the national treasure, Master Nie. This alone is enough for him to establish himself in the Go world.
Ye Qingqing has not yet met Nie Zhonghua. She did want to visit him, but this master has a very strange personality. He particularly dislikes interacting with people and does not like strangers visiting his home, so she did not go.
"My dad said that Master Nie's mental state is not very good and he often suffers from insomnia. When we get back, I'll ask Xiaotong to talk to the master and see if I can take his pulse. If the master is in better health, Xiaotong can learn more skills from him," Ye Qingqing said, explaining her plan.
Lu Mo nodded in agreement, "Let Xiao Tong bring it up first. If the master disagrees, don't force it. We'll think of another way later."
