Chapter 120: They have known each other for a long time

At this moment, Feng Tingshen spoke and said: "Okay."

Rong Ci sat down opposite him.

After Lin Wu's surprise, she quickly regained her composure.

Her expression also quickly returned to calm.

After greeting Ji Lao and the others, she went back to stand beside Feng Tingshen.

Actually, it wasn't just He Zhangbai and the Lin and Sun families who were surprised.

Ji Qingyue and the old master Ji were also quite surprised.

Although Ji Huanying had introduced Rong Ci to everyone in the exhibition hall outside just now.

Regarding Rong Ci's specific situation, neither Ji Qingyue nor the old master Ji understood much.

However, they saw Rong Ci as gentle and quiet, not looking like someone who loved to show off.

They felt that even if she knew how to play chess, she wouldn't take the initiative to volunteer in such an occasion.

Qin Lao didn't know Rong Ci either.

But he had noticed her.

Because Rong Ci's appearance was very outstanding, and her temperament was gentle and well-behaved, looking like a well-bred girl from a good family.

Such a girl, in his view, was quite suitable to be his granddaughter-in-law...

He also hadn't expected Rong Ci to know how to play chess.

Feng Tingshen looked at Rong Ci: "You first?"

In Go, the first player has a certain advantage.

Rong Ci heard him say this, and she didn't refuse, placing a piece first.

Feng Tingshen followed.

At first, they were playing without showing their true colors.

They didn't speak either.

Rong Ci just looked at the board, not even looking at Feng Tingshen sitting opposite her.

After a while, Ji Lao and Qin Lao discovered that Rong Ci's chess path was like her person, gentle and steady.

Her offense and defense were unhurried, showing she was controlling the overall situation, not just playing one step at a time or two or three steps.

Noticing this, Ji Lao and Qin Lao were astonished.

They had praised Lin Wu as good before, because Lin Wu's reaction ability was indeed quite strong, and her offense and defense were also proficient, but she was being led by Feng Tingshen, even though Feng Tingshen was basically holding back the whole time.

They played for quite a while, just because Feng Tingshen was leading Lin Wu the whole time, and often holding back, between their back and forth, it really had the meaning of young lovers lingering.

Despite this, among young girls, Lin Wu's adaptability and thinking ability were relatively considered the best.

But now—

Feng Tingshen seemed to see that Rong Ci wasn't following his layout, and was even attempting to lead him into her trap.

And when he gave up the attack, Rong Ci didn't give him a chance, but instead looked for an opportunity, defending while attacking strongly, forcing Feng Tingshen to pause his movement of picking up the piece.

He raised his head, looked at Rong Ci, and smiled slightly.

Seeing Rong Ci's offensive, Qin Lao was also amazed and couldn't help but cheer: "Beautiful!"

Yu Moxun raised his eyebrows and smiled.

He Zhangbai and Ji Qingyue were astonished.

Because they discovered that they had already been unable to keep up with Rong Ci's thinking a while ago.

Or rather, they had been misled by Rong Ci's gentle and steady defensive path from the beginning and hadn't noticed her hidden pieces.

It was only here that they discovered Rong Ci not only knew how to play chess but also played so well.

Lin Wu stood beside Feng Tingshen, paying more attention to Feng Tingshen's situation.

Like He Zhangbai and the others, she had also been unable to keep up with Feng Tingshen's thinking for a long time.

Previously, she thought Rong Ci would lose quickly.

But she noticed Feng Tingshen's expression while playing became more and more serious, even more prepared than when playing with her, and Ji Lao and the others were also fully focused on the game, she finally discovered that Rong Ci really knew how to play chess, and might even play better than her.

Next, she began to pay more attention to Rong Ci's side.

Seeing Rong Ci resolve the dilemma Feng Tingshen caused her in a way she hadn't thought of, her heart sank.

Hearing Qin Lao's cheer, her heart sank even further.

Rong Ci was very serious and didn't pay attention to others; her heart was only on the chess game in front of her.

Currently, the situation was stable, but she knew that wanting to win was almost...

She paused and looked at Feng Tingshen.

Feng Tingshen placed another piece.

Rong Ci stopped her hand movement.

Ji Lao saw this and laughed: "Indeed wonderful. Didn't expect to see such a wonderful game in this place, and the ones playing are two young people, not bad, not bad."

Qin Lao found him noisy, interrupting his train of thought: "Don't make a sound!"

Ji Lao: "..."

After several minutes, Rong Ci finally returned a piece, slightly turning the tilted situation back.

Two minutes later, Feng Tingshen responded with a piece.

Rong Ci put the piece she was holding back onto the board and said: "I lost."

Although she could still walk a few more steps, but...

The defeat was already decided.

No need.

Saying this, she stood up and was about to leave when Feng Tingshen suddenly said: "Play another game?"

Rong Ci's footsteps paused, but she sat back down.

Seeing this, Ji Lao laughed: "This child looks quiet, but she took the initiative to ask to play chess with this Feng boy in such an occasion, she must rarely meet such a strong opponent as the Feng boy, so now that she finally met one, she doesn't want to miss it."

He said this to Yu Moxun.

Yu Moxun also saw it.

He nodded: "Yes."

Ji Lao guessed: "You should not be able to beat her."

Although Yu Moxun was another genius in the circle after Feng Tingshen.

Yu Moxun was very frank: "Can't beat her."

After all, Rong Ci used to play chess with Nan Zhizhi.

Although, without a single win.

But from Nan Zhizhi's reaction and evaluation, it could be seen that Rong Ci was actually a very powerful opponent.

And she was so young.

While Nan Zhizhi was said to have had no defeats in chess since he was a teenager.

There weren't many people, regardless of gender or age, who could get such an evaluation from Nan Zhizhi.

From this, it could be seen that Rong Ci's chess skills were indeed okay.

While they were chatting, Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen had already tidied up the board.

Feng Tingshen said: "Still you first?"

"You first."

Just now she lost to him by more than one piece.

She wanted to know where her limitations were.

As Ji Lao guessed, except for Nan Zhizhi, she hadn't met a powerful opponent for a long time.

She really didn't want to miss this opportunity.

So, now in her eyes, Feng Tingshen was just her opponent in chess.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

She wouldn't shrink back just because he was Feng Tingshen and not play chess with him.

Hearing her say this, Feng Tingshen didn't insist.

This time, he took the initiative to place a piece.

Next, they continued to play chess quietly, and it could be said they had no dialogue with each other.

But for some reason, Ji Lao and Qin Lao discovered that there seemed to be a tacit understanding between them.
