Chapter 983

The kind smile on Shi Tian Hewu's face stiffened slightly.

He didn't expect to be so directly and fiercely opposed, and the opponents were an old gentleman and a little girl.

He couldn't help but feel a bit unhappy in his heart; he, a dignified professional 6-dan, taking the initiative to take an apprentice, how many people begged for it?

He tried hard to maintain his demeanor, looked at Gu Chuan Chang Hong and Caixu, his tone calm but carrying doubt:

"May I ask the two of you... why do you think I am not qualified to be Natsume-kun's master?"

Gu Chuan Caixu angrily answered first, her little finger pointing at Shi Tian Hewu:

"Because Big Brother's shogi strength is much more powerful than you, Mr. Shi Tian! You are the one who is not qualified to be Big Brother's master!"

Gu Chuan Chang Hong coughed lightly, stroked his white beard, and added slowly:

"Cough, although the child's words are straightforward, the principle... is roughly so."

"Wha... what?!" Fu Tian Kangyu exploded as soon as he heard it, jumping up and pointing at Gu Chuan Caixu, "What nonsense are you little brat talking about! My master is a professional 6-dan! He is the favorite to win this tournament! How could he not be qualified! Natsume Chikage, no matter how powerful he is, is only quasi-professional, how could he be stronger than master?!"

Gu Chuan Caixu didn't show weakness, stood on tiptoe and glared at Fu Tian Kangyu:

"Not qualified is not qualified! Big Brother is just more powerful than your master!"

"You...!"

"Enough, don't argue."

Seeing that the two little guys were about to argue, Natsume Chikage felt a bit dumbfounded.

He gently patted Caixu's little head, calmed down the excited little girl, and then looked at Shi Tian Hewu, his attitude still humble, but his refusal was clear and explicit:

"Mr. Shi Tian, thank you very much for your kindness."

"However, my thoughts are the same as last time; I really don't have any plans to take a master at the moment. Sorry again for troubling you."

Seeing Natsume Chikage himself refuse explicitly again, Shi Tian Hewu felt regretful in his heart, but he could only not be in a hurry, just smiled and sighed.

"I understand."

"However... perhaps there will be a turning point in the future; you can change your mind at any time, and I am very welcome here."

Fu Tian Kangyu saw his master being refused, still unconvinced in his heart, and snorted at Gu Chuan Caixu.

"Hmph! You don't know good goods! When you know how powerful my master is in the future, you won't have a chance even if you want to take a master!"

Gu Chuan Caixu immediately returned a grimace.

"Lue lue lue, Big Brother doesn't need it at all!"

Fu Tian Kangyu gritted his teeth:

"Stinky little brat!!!"

"Kangyu!" Fu Tian Si couldn't watch anymore and shouted to stop him, "How old are you, arguing with a little girl? What does it look like! Sit down!"

"Uncle?" Fu Tian Kangyu only then noticed that Fu Tian Si was also there, stunned for a moment, and then felt somewhat dejected.

Shi Tian Hewu also said in a deep voice: "Kangyu, pay attention to politeness, apologize, sit down."

Under the double pressure of his master and uncle, Fu Tian Kangyu had to sit down unwillingly, saying muffledly: "... Sorry then."

But it was only because he understood that his master would beat him now.

And even more because this uncle of his often beat him in the past.

He had to apologize.

As for Natsume Chikage being stronger than his master, he still didn't feel it at all!

Natsume Chikage looked at this scene, feeling a bit subtle in his heart.

Didn't expect Fu Tian Si and Fu Tian Kangyu to be uncle and nephew... no wonder the personalities of the two had a strange similarity in some aspects, both carrying a bit of awkwardness and stubbornness.

It really lived up to the saying, not a family, not entering a family door.

Just as the small disturbance here had just come to an end, there was movement again at the contestant passage entrance.

The boy whose hair was combed meticulously and whose face carried an undisguised arrogant smile walked in with his head held high.

It was the president of the Private Tianhao Shogi Club, professional 4-dan shogi player—Honda Chongsi.

His gaze swept over the contestant seats like a radar, and soon locked onto Natsume Chikage's position.

When seeing Natsume Chikage sitting with Shi Tian Hewu and others, the corners of Honda Chongsi's mouth couldn't be suppressed from rising, outlining a smile full of aggression and anticipation. ===== CHAPTER 984 =====
