The young Taoist priest spotted the chessboard in front of Ye Dexian at a glance.
"Oh, this is the Yanagido endgame!"
Ye Dexian's eyes suddenly lit up with a golden light, "You actually know Go?"
The young Taoist boy gave a silly smile and scratched his head.
"How could I know how? I often see my senior sister and master playing chess together. Master says it's the Yanagido endgame."
So Miss Lan also knows about the Yanagito Remains?
Ye Dexian's excitement hadn't diminished at all. Seeing that it was still early, only a little past 8 p.m., he could invite Miss Lan over for a couple of games.
Xiaoxi chuckled to herself as she realized she had achieved her goal: if there's no opportunity, create one. And look, the opportunity she created was fantastic.
Sure enough, it took less than ten breaths.
"Jiahao, take the children back to play. Please ask Miss Lan to come to the study."
The young novice monk winked at Xiaoxi, then grabbed her and ran off.
Xiaoxi was about to leave the study when she stopped, remembering that she had to give Ye Dexian a generous gift since it was their first meeting.
She quickly crushed a pill into powder, so fine it couldn't be finer, and the powder soon floated and dissolved in the air.
Xiao Xi followed the young novice monk to the small building.
The young novice asked Biyun to make him something to eat, saying that his grandfather hadn't eaten dinner.
Xiaoxi suggested, "At this time, don't make anything too complicated or fancy. Keep it simple and make the dumpling soup that everyone in Beijing loved to eat during the difficult times of the past."
After they finished speaking, they went upstairs.
Xiaoxi then asked Blue Star 3 if it had any knowledge about Go when it entered the program into her system.
Nanxing No. 3 quickly accessed the relevant program and answered Xiaoxi's questions fluently.
Surprisingly, these knowledge programs actually contain Go game records of the Yanagito endgame.
With that in mind, things became much easier. After reaching a consensus, Blue Star 3 didn't waste much time and served the bowl of dumpling soup that Bi Yun had just prepared.
Ye Dexian was in his study.
He stared at the chessboard, but he couldn't concentrate on it at all.
Miss Lan is truly a treasure! She can even play Go? This Yanagido endgame has remained unsolved by any Go master in the entire capital for so many years.
Just then, Miss Lan knocked on the door and came in. Tonight, she looked even more serene and elegant.
"Master, I heard from Jiahao that you have a poor appetite, so I made you a bowl of food. Please try it."
This dumpling soup was made by Biyun, and to be honest, it doesn't look very appealing.
But just now, Xiaoxi put those medicinal powders in the study, and they're starting to take effect.
The dumpling soup that Ye Dexian saw was simply a delicacy.
He had been craving Miss Lan's cooking for the past few days, but he didn't expect her to care about him so much. When she heard that he didn't have a good appetite, she quickly made him some dumpling soup.
This bowl of dumpling soup suddenly reminded him of his childhood memories.
Although the Ye family is a wealthy and powerful clan, the old mother always said that they should have more contact with ordinary people so that, as people in positions of power, they would not be out of touch with the times.
This bowl of simple, homemade dumpling soup filled him with a myriad of emotions.
A warm current flowed through his body, making him feel as if he had become decades younger.
"Miss Lan, how do you think we should solve this Yanagido puzzle?"
Miss Lan smiled slightly but didn't say anything.
She simply sat down opposite Ye Dexian, picked up a black chess piece with her slender, fair fingers, and seemingly casually placed it gently in one corner.
Ye Dexian's gaze suddenly fell on the corner of the chessboard.
"That's the right answer! This is the real answer! Why couldn't I think of this even after decades of thinking about it?"
