After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 234 Overthinking

Although the audience were all Go enthusiasts, most of them were not skilled enough to see that the black pieces on the board were close to being cornered by the white pieces.

Upon hearing the words "I concede," a commotion erupted imdiately.

"Conceded just like that?"

"Has the white side already won? But I think the black side still has room to continue!"

"Perhaps Zhang Linxi has already realized that even if he continues, he can’t escape losing this ga, so he simply conceded."

"I just checked the ti, it’s only been half an hour since the ga started."

"This should be the fastest match in the session."

"I really didn’t expect Jiang Lingxi’s Go skills to be so high."

"Not only is she good at archery, but also Go, and she’s an actress by profession. I just want to know how she learned all these skills!"

Not only did the person speaking want to know this, but Guan Ying was also curious.

She stared fixedly at Jiang Lingxi’s profile on stage, not paying attention to what her senior brother was saying to her.

Her master admired Jiang Lingxi so much, perhaps he even thought of taking Jiang Lingxi as a disciple. After today, would she still be the most favored junior sister?

There were too many gazes on her, but Jiang Lingxi naturally didn’t notice that one of them was concerned about their own status. She looked at Zhang Linxi across from her: "Thanks for the ga."

Zhang Linxi had just taken out a tissue to wipe his sweat and calm his emotions. He paused upon hearing her, and without picking up the microphone, he said in a low voice, "You’re very strong."

"I know."

Zhang Linxi: "..."

Before the ga started, he had hoped to et a strong opponent, but if the opponent was so strong that he had no chance to fight back, it only left him with frustration.

"I hope to et you again at next year’s World Go Championship. By then, I will beat you."

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

Could she say she had no intention of participating in that botherso competition?

"Well, good luck!"

Zhang Linxi: "..." He sensed the perfunctory tone in her words.

Their conversation was not amplified by microphones, so the people below could only see their mouths moving.

"What are they saying that we can’t hear?"

"Is there anyone who can read lips?"

Fortunately, Jiang Lingxi did not plan to engage in more conversation with Zhang Linxi. Since the match was over, she had fulfilled Mr. Shi’s request and stood up decisively.

The host returned to the stage, looking at Jiang Lingxi with a completely different expression now.

She had had a tough ti being a host. Although the Go shows in recent episodes were supposed to be an exchange between chess players from different countries, there had been several consecutive losses by local players to foreign ones, which was sowhat embarrassing.

Finally, this ti they could hold their heads high again.

Picking up the microphone, the host lavished praise on Jiang Lingxi, and finally, even gave encouragent to Zhang Linxi.

In the previous gas, it had always been the other way around.

The audience felt a sense of relief listening to the complints.

At the end was the mutual evaluation of the opponents.

Zhang Linxi was in no mood to evaluate the person who defeated him, and Jiang Lingxi was too lazy to comnt.

Both just said a few polite phrases and put down their microphones.

Guest speakers from the Go community, like Mr. Shi, spoke more, extending the ti for a while.

When the show ended, Zhang Linxi hurriedly left with his assistant, while Jiang Lingxi was surrounded by Mr. Shi, his two disciples, and Lu Zhengzheng.

Mr. Shi waved grandly, "Co on, let’s go get sothing to eat first."

He knew that Jiang Lingxi had rushed over right after finishing her work with the crew. Now that the show was successfully completed, he decisively offered to treat her to a al.

Jiang Lingxi didn’t refuse; she was indeed hungry at the mont.

However, upon leaving the broadcast hall, she realized it had gone from light rain to heavy rain outside, with the wind picking up speed.

Originally planning to go to a nearby restaurant, they had to change their plans to eat at the Imperial City TV station’s cafeteria.

"Don’t underestimate the cafeteria; the food here is quite good. It has even served high-ranking officials who ca here for inspection. Thanks to young friend Jiang for today’s episode, we’ve finally got a win on our side. This’s a toast with tea instead of wine to express our gratitude."

Jiang Lingxi hurriedly raised her cup, "Your words are too kind."

"Not at all. Without soone defeating Zhang Linxi, we, as hosts, would lose face." Mr. Shi looked at Jiang Lingxi with admiration, "Watching the ga you played just now, your prowess in Go is even higher than I thought, and you’re solid and assertive, which many older than you can’t achieve."

"Zhang Linxi underestimated at the start, and by the ti he decided to take seriously, it was too late."

"Haha, he probably didn’t expect a pretty young lady like you to play Go so beautifully, and that’s where he fell!"

Yuan Mulin, seeing his usually stern master talking and laughing heartily with Jiang Lingxi, was taken aback.

Could it be that the master really has plans to take on another disciple?

Thinking of this, he quickly glanced at the young junior sister sitting next to him, only to see her looking at her phone, her expression gloomy and stiff, and he sighed.

Even biological parents can’t treat their children completely equally, let alone a master and their disciple.

Since the young junior sister was young, the master favored her a bit more, which they, as senior brothers, could understand.

But if there’s another junior sister, he feared she might get caught in a dead-end of thoughts.

"Ahem, after watching Miss Jiang and Zhang Linxi’s match today, it truly felt like there are always people better out there. I wonder if I could add Miss Jiang as a friend, and perhaps have so online Go practice sessions?"

Jiang Lingxi had no issue adding another friend, so she showed her QR code for him to scan, and upon receiving a friend request, she accepted it.

The other didn’t do anything, so she put her phone back.

Mr. Shi glanced at his young disciple who was still looking down, "This girl Guan Ying has been my disciple for the past couple of years. Her talent in Go is even better than her senior brothers, but she’s not yet mature. If we have ti after the al, I’d like to trouble young friend Jiang to have a ga with Guan Ying."

While talent is valuable, if one continues to rest on it arrogantly, even the best talent will wither away.

Now that there’s finally soone her age who can curb his young disciple’s arrogance, Mr. Shi did not hesitate to make the request.

However, Guan Ying clearly didn’t appreciate what her master was doing for her, and upon hearing his words, she stopped looking at her phone and looked at Jiang Lingxi, "Master, my friend is looking for after the al, so I won’t have ti to play Go with Miss Jiang."

Yuan Mulin, beside her, had no ti to stop her from speaking.

Mr. Shi frowned, about to speak.

"Then forget it." From the first eting, Jiang Lingxi noticed a slight hostility from Guan Ying toward her, and now this hostility seed to be growing.

Not to ntion that Guan Ying didn’t want to play Go with her; she wasn’t interested in playing with the girl either.

Before Mr. Shi could say anything, she neatly declined the ga.

After the al, Jiang Lingxi looked at Mr. Shi, who insisted on escorting her to the lobby, "Mr. Shi, please stay here."

"Please take care, young friend Jiang. It’s still raining, be careful on the way."

Seeing the business car leave, Mr. Shi’s face darkened, "Guan Ying!"

Guan Ying felt a chill down her spine and quickly fled, "My friend is already waiting for , Master, Second Senior Brother, goodbye!"

Yuan Mulin: "...Master, please calm down."

Mr. Shi: "Young friend Jiang is so busy usually, and finally, there was a chance to have a match, yet she dared to make an excuse to run away!"

While helping his master to the sofa to rest, Yuan Mulin cautiously asked, "Master, are you planning to take that Miss Jiang as a disciple?"

"When did I ever say that? Didn’t you hear how I addressed her?"

"Young friend Jiang?"

"You think I was just being polite? I can’t even teach her, let alone take her as a disciple!"

Yuan Mulin: "..."

Looks like both he and his junior sister misunderstood!
