Chapter 1015: Chapter 1003: Does Qiao Jing Know How to Play Chess?
Song Jiaqi’s words made Qiao Jing’s anticipation grow even more.
If Song Jiaqi’s grandfather really knows about her situation, maybe after eting him, her true identity will be revealed!
Thinking of this, Qiao Jing looked up at Song Jiaqi, a bit anxious, and said, “Then let’s go to your house to find your grandfather now.”
“Sure.” Song Jiaqi readily agreed, “I’ll take you there right now.”
Zhan Qipei remained expressionless, but he was actually quite expectant inside.
If this Qiao Jing is really Qiao Jing’s sister, then the things she whispered with Song Jiaqi’s grandfather back then might be related to Qiao Jing.
Because Qiao Jing is the Divine Doctor Jing, due to this identity, they had to talk privately behind others’ backs.
If his guess is correct, maybe from Song Jiaqi’s grandfather, he could hear so stories about Qiao Jing that he hadn’t known before!
So, the group followed Song Jiaqi to her house.
Song Jiaqi lived in an old-style residence, and as soon as they entered the yard, Qiao Jing’s mood suddenly beca a bit tense.
She knew exactly why she was nervous, just because she was both expecting and afraid of being disappointed.
With such a constrained emotion, Qiao Jing and the others followed Song Jiaqi into the house.
“Grandpa! Grandpa!”
Song Jiaqi called out twice at the top of her lungs, but there was no response.
She suspiciously muttered, “It’s really strange. Normally, as soon as I shout, Grandpa would imdiately ask what’s up, but today there’s no response…”
After muttering, Song Jiaqi turned her head and said to Qiao Jing and the others: “Wait here for a mont, I’ll go check the room, maybe he can’t hear from there.”
“Alright.” Qiao Jing nodded.
Song Jiaqi darted away.
In less than five minutes, she returned with a note in her hand.
Zhan Nanjing saw her co back alone and asked curiously, “Where’s your grandpa? Could he not be at ho?”
“You guessed it right.”
Song Jiaqi said, waving the note in her hand, looking a bit helpless, “My grandpa left this note saying he’s going out for a while, didn’t say where, but he won’t be back anyti soon.”
Zhan Nanjing raised his eyebrow and casually suggested, “Why don’t you give your grandpa a call, ask him where he went, or directly ask him about the matter over the phone.”
Song Jiaqi shrugged, “My grandpa doesn’t use a mobile phone at all.”
“Didn’t we co here for nothing then?” Xu Moqian couldn’t help but interject.
Qiao Jing pressed her lips lightly, feeling sowhat disappointed.
Not being able to et Song Jiaqi’s grandfather ant that they couldn’t ask anything, and everything remained at the starting point…
After a brief silence, Song Jiaqi blinked and suggested, “Sister Jing Yun, why don’t I take you all around for a walk, visiting places you went to before, maybe it will trigger so of your mories.”
“I think that’s a great idea!” Zhan Nanjing was the first to agree.
Xu Moqian glanced at her and bluntly pointed out, “I think you just want to go shopping!”
Zhan Nanjing imdiately retorted, “Whether I want to shop or not, what does it matter to you? Stop ddling!”
Seeing the two about to start arguing again, Qiao Jing spoke up tily, “Let’s go, let Jiaqi take us for a stroll.”
Actually, she originally ca to Zhao City to revisit places, hoping to regain her mories.
If she could regain her mories, her identity would naturally be revealed!
Regarding the suggestion of strolling around, no one else objected, so the group quickly left Song Jiaqi’s house and followed her to explore the ancient city.
After a while, when they passed a chess house, Qiao Jing suddenly stopped.
She looked at this chess house and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
The others noticed and also paused at the entrance of the chess house.
Zhan Nanjing sidled up to Qiao Jing, curiously asking, “Xiao Jing, what’s wrong? Did you see sothing here that triggered a mory?”
Qiao Jing shook her head and said calmly, “I didn’t rember anything, just felt it’s kind of familiar.”
“Then why don’t we go in and take a look?”
Zhan Nanjing said this, and without waiting for Qiao Jing to respond, directly pulled her into the chess house.
The others naturally followed in.
At this mont, inside the chess house, two elderly n were sitting at a chessboard, playing a ga.
One had a goatee, and the other wore old-style black-frad glasses.
Quite a few people were gathered around watching.
When Qiao Jing and the others entered, the chess ga was nearing the end.
The man with the old-style glasses stared at the chessboard, deeply furrowed his brows, and hesitated with a piece for a long ti, seemingly at a loss for where to place it.
Finally, he sighed, tossed the piece back into the chess pot, “I admit defeat.”
At this, soone in the crowd comnted, “Losing is no big deal, after all, your opponent is the master of the house!”
“Yeah, it’s well known that the master has exceptional chess skills, and he doesn’t fall behind even against professional chess players!”
“Not only does he not fall behind, but the master has even defeated quite a few professional players!”
“…”
Qiao Jing observed the situation on the chessboard and couldn’t help but say, “This ga still has moves; there’s still a chance to win, no need to admit defeat.”
She found it strange herself that she could understand the chess ga.
Perhaps, she used to know how to play chess?
The onlookers, upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, started to murmur among themselves.
“Where did this girl co from, daring to speak such nonsense?”
“Right, the outco of this ga is clearly decided, does she think she’s pretending to understand?”
“Players have already admitted defeat, and she still claims there’s a chance to win? Isn’t that nonsense?”
“…”
Hearing the crowd’s murmurs, Zhan Nanjing, feeling a bit embarrassed, tugged at Qiao Jing and whispered, “Why did you say that? Do you know how to play chess?”
Qiao Jing replied calmly, “Maybe I know a little.”
If she could understand the ga, she must know how to play.
However, she wasn’t sure of her skill level.
Upon hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter, with many pointing at Qiao Jing.
“Maybe you know a little? And you dare to boast here? This girl really doesn’t know her limits!”
“Do you know who this is in front of you? He’s the master of this chess house, and his skill is comparable to professional players. With your ‘know a little’ level, you’re trying to show off in front of him?”
“Young people these days are really arrogant, daring to say anything!”
“…”
Feeling humiliated by the ridicule, Zhan Nanjing was about to pull Qiao Jing away.
“Xiao Jing, let’s leave and visit other places.”
Before Qiao Jing could respond, the master sitting at the chessboard suddenly spoke.
“Girl, are you interested in playing a ga with ? If you can beat , you can ask for any condition, as long as it’s within my ability, I’ll make it happen for you.”
The master finished speaking, eagerly waiting for Qiao Jing’s response.
Others couldn’t tell, but he knew—what the girl said was right.
In the previous ga, the opponent indeed didn’t need to concede. It was just that the person wasn’t skilled enough to know how to proceed.
Since this girl could point it out easily, it showed her chess skills were quite high!
Therefore, he couldn’t resist wanting to have a match with this girl!
