Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

The game ended.

The Online Go Server was flooded with messages once again.

"Come and see this!"

"This match was a spectacle!"

"Yeah, it was really intense!"

"What was the result? How did the game end?"

"Damn, Teacher Changhe lost again."

"Pfft, Teacher Changhe has been taken apart yet again!"

"He\'s indeed the famous Changhe 9-dan. Rather than getting upset about this, it seemed like he did not even get affected. If it were me, I would have smashed the computer after losing all those games! But just look at Teacher Changhe! He wasn\'t annoyed at all and continued playing despite losing so many times. What a good sport he is!"

"Yeah, that\'s how a Go grandmaster should behave."

At this time, YE sent a private message to Wu Changhe: "Uncle, do you still want to play?"

Wu Changhe was so angry that he grabbed the keyboard for himself and hunt and pecked. Very agitated by the loss, he even typed the words wrong many times. "Of course! Come!"

"I think I won\'t be playing for now. I have to eat."

"Are you running away, kid?"

"Lunch is waiting."

Wu Changhe was floored. He shouted and ranted in a fury!

If you\'re not going to play, why did you ask me if I wanted to keep playing?

How dare you!

You\'re great!

You\'re just great!

Li Qinqin, who had been in a state of shock, laughed at Zhang Ye\'s messages. "This kid."

Wu Changhe rolled up his sleeves in preparation to charge out. "I\'m going to look for that damn rascal!"

"What are you doing?" Li Qinqin hurriedly pulled him back, overwhelmed. "You still intend to pick a fight with him?"

Wu Changhe said angrily, "I\'m going to beat him to death!"

"Teacher!"

"Calm down! Calm down!"

"Damn! Teacher, no! You mustn\'t!"

His disciples all ran to hold him back.

How could a game of Go almost lead to a fight?!

Li Qinqin laughed and said, "Serves you right. Who told you to question his character? Look what you did, you\'ve shot yourself in the foot."

Wu Changhe pointed at his disciples and said, "What in the world were you all doing playing like that? All of you have disgraced me! Completely disgraced me! All of you!"

Xu Han scratched his head. "Teacher, why don\'t I try playing against him again?"

Hu Liang said, "Right, right, there\'s too much random chance to decide things with just one game. Even Xiang Rong 9-dan could not possibly win every game that he plays. We must decide this in best-of-three series!"

Chen Ying sighed. "Teacher, this YE really is very good. We—"

"More like the several of you aren\'t skilled enough!" fumed Wu Changhe. "Very good, my ass! I won\'t believe it! I don\'t believe that no one can beat him!"

...

At Old Wu\'s villa.

Downstairs, the smell of cooked food greeted him.

Zhang Ye eagerly made his way downstairs. "Aiyo, lunch is ready?"

"It\'s almost cold." Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "Eat quickly."

Zhang Ye sighed as he sat down and started eating. "I\'m getting addicted to playing Go."

Old Wu asked, "But I never knew that you enjoyed Go so much?"

Zhang Ye laughed and said, "I didn\'t have time for it in the past, but I\'m finally discovering the fun in playing it." He did not explain what kind of fun he was referring to.

Ring, ring, ring.

Old Wu\'s cell phone was ringing. When she saw the caller ID, she answered.

"Hello, Dad."

"Where\'s that brat!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Who do you think! That Zhang brat!"

"We\'re having lunch."

"So he\'s really with you! You cooked for him, didn\'t you?"

"Yes, what\'s wrong?"

"How dare you cook for him! Are you trying to drive me to my grave? Are you? Throw away all the food! Grab a container of salt and pour it into his bowl! I\'ll make him eat it up!"

"Whoa, what\'s the matter?"

"Tell him this for me! Don\'t go anywhere! Tell him not to go anywhere! I\'ll fight him 300 more times in the afternoon! I\'ll show him why all the flowers have turned red!"

Du du. Wu Changhe hung up.

Zhang Ye, who was listening closely beside her, quickly lowered his head and continued eating. He feigned ignorance and said, "Aiya, the dishes you whipped up are so delicious. My Old Wu\'s cooking is still the best!"

Wu Zeqing put down her cell phone and asked, "Did you play Go with my dad just now?"

Zhang Ye said in surprise, "What? No?"

Old Wu smiled and said, "If you did, you did. Why don\'t you admit it? From my dad\'s tone, he must have lost quite a few matches to you. He was so mad that he asked me to grab a container of salt and pour the salt into your bowl. He even wanted me to tell you to play him again in the afternoon."

Pour salt into my bowl?

How can you be so mean!

Zhang Ye harrumphed inside his head. Fine, we\'ll play. Do you think I\'m afraid of you?

He looked at Old Wu and said, "If I drive your dad into a corner, don\'t tell me off."

Old Wu smiled and said, "Why would I tell you off? Go is won by whoever is more skilled. Every competitive game winners and losers. It\'s quite normal."

"Ha, I\'ll rest easy then!" Zhang Ye was delighted and devoured the food.

Old Wu said, "Eat slowly."

Zhang Ye said, "I\'ll be playing Go after lunch."

Old Wu smiled and said, "You two have really clashed?"

Well, with things progressing to this point, one of them had to give in first. Otherwise, this "fight" would definitely not come to an end!

After lunch.

Old Wu put on an apron and washed the dishes.

Zhang Ye couldn\'t wait and headed straight up to the study while humming a ditty. When he turned on the monitor, he realized that there was no one left in the room!

Where did he go?

Where did he run off to?

He snorted and began flooding the room with messages!

...

In the afternoon.

Near Tiantan East Gate 1 .

At China Qiyuan 2 .

This was an official agency responsible for China\'s strategy board games under the State General Administration of Sports and acted as the integrated training hub and competition venue for the various sports. It oversaw the management of the national Go team, chess team, and Xiangqi team, as well as taking responsibility for organizing various domestic and international tournaments.

Due to the recent international Go tournament, there were many experts gathered at China Qiyuan today. Some of them were practicing, some were playing matches against others, but the majority of them were watching the furor surrounding Changhe 9-dan!

The moment Wu Changhe arrived, he was surrounded by a large group of professional Go players.

"Teacher Changhe!"

"Why are you here?"

"Pfft, who have you offended this time?"

"Who is that YE?"

"Was it Hu Liang and Xu Han playing just now? The two of them lost too?"

"Take a look at this! YE is online and searching for you!"

"He has been flooding the chat box for hours! The entire Online Go Server exploded with activity!"

"There\'s a commotion on Weibo as well!"

"Everyone knows about this now!"

Everyone was wondering what had happened.

Wu Changhe kept silent, a dark look on his face. When he heard, he walked straight up to a computer and saw YE shouting without end in the Online Go Server\'s room. He even brought the fight to the public chat!

YE: "Where are you?"

YE: "I waited until my face turned green."

YE: "I\'m here, where did you disappear to?"

YE: "Paging Teacher Changhe!"

YE: "Are we still playing? If not, I\'ll take my afternoon nap."

When Wu Changhe saw this, he flew into a rage. "This rascal is really pushing it too far!"

Many of the professional Go players didn\'t know how to react. They were wondering why he was only targeting Teacher Changhe. Just what kind of fucking grudge existed between the two of them!

Wu Changhe immediately logged in to his account. He entered the password and went back into room they were in. He messily hunt and pecked out: "I\'m here! Wait for me! Don\'t go anywhere!"

"I\'ve already been waiting for half an hour."

"Don\'t be so impatient! I\'m going to make you lose ugly. Do you believe me?"

"Hur hur."

Wu Changhe turned around and ordered, "Did you see his clamoring? Did you see it? A layman, an amateur Go enthusiast is openly provoking us pro Go players. Can you tolerate this? Can you? Quickly destroy him for me! Send him to his death! Crush him so that he won\'t play Go ever again! Humiliate him so that he\'ll puke at the mere sight of Go!"

Everyone was floored.

But he didn\'t provoke us professional Go players at all!

He was clearly just directing his provocations at you, no?

But what Wu Changhe said was not without reason. An amateur Go player was bullying one of their fellow pros. And he was provoking Changhe 9-dan, who was once the biggest icon in the world of Go, and winning against active players like Hu Liang 7-dan and Xu Han 8-dan. This really made them lose a huge amount of face as professional Go players!

China Qiyuan\'s president appeared at this time.

Dan Donghe walked out with a grin on his face. "Brother Wu, I heard that you and a few of your disciples were swept aside by an amateur Go player? Did it really happen?"

Wu Changhe said angrily, "You\'re smiling, you old fool? Hurry up and come over to help me!"

Dan Donghe. A professional 9th dan Go player and the current president of China Qiyuan. He was a 9th dan Go player from the same generation as Wu Changhe and also his junior brother. They had dominated the world of Go back in their heyday for many years and were known in the country as the "He Twins." They had a very good personal relationship as well.

Dan Donghe wondered, "What kind of feud do the two of you have?"

"A blood feud!" Wu Changhe said as he rolled his eyes.

Dan Donghe asked curiously, "Is he really an amateur?"

Wu Changhe nodded but knew better in his heart of hearts. Was his opponent really an amateur? In reality, that Zhang fellow could not even be considered an amateur Go player!

Changhe 9-dan\'s disciples arrived as well.

"That guy is posting another thing!" Chen Ying said angrily.

On the screen, they saw YE urging endlessly: "Are you ready yet, Uncle? It\'s not that you\'re scared of playing me, right? But that\'s fine too, if you take back your words from earlier."

A professional 8th dan player could no longer stand idly by. "I\'ll play him! What kind of person is this! He\'s too big for his britches!"

"I\'ll take him too!"

"Count me in as well!"

"Damn, does he really think that pro Go players are pushovers?"

"How dare he come knocking on our door looking for trouble?"

"An amateur who only got a little lucky. Does he really think he\'s invincible?"

A lot of people could no longer sit still and began denouncing him!

Dan Donghe nodded. "Alright, Little Qi. Practice some with him."

Qi Qi was up?

Damn, was this even necessary?

Qi Qi. A professional 7th dan Go player. Although his rank was not high, he was seemingly imbued with the power of the gods this year. He was even higher on the world rankings than Xu Han. During an international tournament last week, he even won a game against a Korean 9th dan player!

Everyone was gloating as they thought that they would be in for a treat.

Wu Changhe came to China Qiyuan to seek assistance. His disciples might not have been good enough, but this place was filled with all the best Go professionals in the country. As it was also close to the tournament period, nearly all the professional players above 5th dan were present today. The strongest Go players in the country were all here, and there were also a few active 9th dan players around as well!

Ha!

I\'ll see how long you can continue being so smug!

Wu Changhe wanted to make Zhang Ye beg for mercy as he felt that he would lose ugly. You might have gotten lucky and won one or two games, but I don\'t fucking believe that you can beat so many of our best Go players!

Come!

You dare woo my daughter?

I\'ll teach you a lesson, rascal!
