"Go? Sure."

Yin Tian nodded indifferently.

"The loser will kowtow and apologize, how about that?"

The third senior brother provocatively looked at Yin Tian.

He was confident that in the game of Go, Yin Tian could not possibly be his match!

"Sure."

Yin Tian nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"Good! Let’s set it then, everyone here can be witnesses."

As if worried that Yin Tian might go back on his word, the third senior brother spoke without hesitation, "The chess pieces and board are in my car, wait here for me, and don’t get scared off."

As he spoke, the third senior brother had already turned and walked towards the outside of the exhibition hall.

"Yin Tian, why did you agree to that!"

Jiang Qingge was so anxious she was almost crying, "That guy is named Sun Wuya, he’s a master of Go at the rank of eighth dan, and in the entire Imperial Capital, almost no one can win against him in Go!"

"Regret it? Too late now!"

Wu Xiaosi sneered at Yin Tian, "I can’t wait to see you kneeling in front of me!"

Even Su Qinwei, Chen Yu, and Ye Qinghuang were all looking at Yin Tian.

All along, they had only seen Yin Tian practicing medicine and saving people, or consulting on geomancy and fengshui; they had never imagined that Yin Tian was also skilled in painting, and furthermore, painting so well.

At this moment, seeing that Yin Tian had also agreed to compete in Go with Sun Wuya, they all felt as if they had discovered a new world.

Feeling the slightly worried gazes of the ladies, Yin Tian grinned and confidently said, "Don’t worry."

In his earlier years on the mountain, aside from following his master in learning all sorts of miscellaneous techniques, his only few joys were things like these.

Therefore, he was very confident in himself.

Soon, Sun Wuya returned to the exhibition hall carrying a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces.

"Nice stuff!"

Yin Tian said admiringly.

The chessboard was fashioned from a whole block of red sandalwood, with each line marked in gold thread.

The chess pieces were carved entirely from genuine jade, incredibly smooth and lustrous.

The chessboard and pieces must have cost several million at least!

"Hmph, today you get the chance to touch my chessboard and pieces, even if you have to kneel and admit your wrongdoing, in the future it will be enough for you to boast about."

Sun Wuya scoffed as he looked at Yin Tian.

Yin Tian pursed his lips and smiled, without saying a word.

Workers from the exhibition soon carried over tables and chairs.

The visitors who had come for the art exhibition also all crowded around.

Their eyes were hot with excitement.

They were only expecting to attend an art exhibition, but had not anticipated witnessing a fierce battle!

Yin Tian and Sun Wuya took their seats.

Sun Wuya pushed the box of black pieces towards Yin Tian without hesitation, still with a challenging gaze.

His demeanor all but declared to Yin Tian that even if Yin Tian were to play the black pieces first, he would still lose.

Yin Tian did not refuse and picked up a black piece, placing it in one corner of the board.

Those who understood Go, as well as those who did not, all fell silent.

On the board, there are a total of nine small black dots; the one in the center is called Tengen, and the other dots are called stars.

A normal player, on their first move, would definitely place their piece on one of those nine small black dots, and then start ’siege and land grabbing’, with victory claimed once they captured the opponent’s large dragon.

Yet, Yin Tian had placed his piece in the very corner of the board.

That move was virtually a giveaway!

Sun Wuya lifted his head, looking at Yin Tian with some doubt, wondering if Yin Tian indeed knew how to play Go.

He took a deep breath and placed a white piece on the Tengen position.

Yin Tian, however, nonchalantly put his second piece in another corner of the board.

Sun Wuya’s head was full of black lines as he once again looked towards Yin Tian, only to see that Yin Tian was completely at ease, with an indifferent expression.

The two went back and forth, and in a blink, each had placed four pieces on the board.

Sun Wuya had already set up the beginnings of a strategy, but Yin Tian...

...he had occupied all four corners of the board!

"Yin Tian... what are you doing..."

Ye Qinghuang looked at Yin Tian worriedly, afraid that he would lose.

Yin Tian grinned and explained, "Playing Go with him feels a bit like bullying, and then he let me go first, I had no choice, I had to give him a four-stone handicap."

A four-stone handicap!

Sun Wuya was so angry his vision started to blur.

Go is divided into nine ranks, with one-dan being the weakest and nine-dan the strongest.

And even when a nine-dan player plays against a one-dan player, they would at most give a two-stone handicap.

But Yin Tian, on the other hand, was giving him a four-stone handicap!

"You!"

Sun Wuya glared at Yin Tian, teeth clenched in anger.

He finally realized, Yin Tian was humiliating him!

"Alright, after the four-stone handicap, I’ll start playing seriously with you."

Yin Tian spoke slowly.

But as he picked up the fifth stone, his entire demeanor changed!

Clang!

The piece hit the board, making a crisp sound.

Sun Wuya also forcefully suppressed his anger and began the real match against Yin Tian.

Clang, clang, clang...

The crisp sounds were endless.

Every move Yin Tian made was without the slightest hesitation.

In contrast, Sun Wuya’s brow was tightly furrowed, and his face looked extremely unpleasant.

After about fifteen minutes, the board was occupied by black and white chess pieces.

The match had reached a critical, tense moment...
