Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Chapter 626: The Knifeman

"Sister Youen, thank you!"

On the evening of April 4, inside a barbecue restaurant in South Korea’s capital.

Liu Shixian, who had just returned from China and was still carrying a suitcase, put his things away and sat down. Then he smiled and thanked the short-haired and cold woman in front of him:

“…Originally, everyone’s performance in this Spring Orchid Cup was not very good, and I lost to Lei Qi in the semi-finals and failed to win the championship, which put a lot of pressure on the chess academy.

"At this time, you are still willing to treat me to a meal and comfort me. Thank you so much!"

However, the Ice Queen did not believe a word of Young Master Liu's polite words.

“…I should thank you.

"When someone invites you to dinner, you usually refuse."

"Ah... then I won't say any more nonsense."

Liu Shixian smiled, then straightened his expression slightly, looked at the other party and said:

“So… Sister Youen.

"Anything you want to ask?"

Jin Youen also didn't beat around the bush and asked directly:

"I heard from the vice president that you have been practicing chess with her in China these days, right?
"How strong is she, especially in fast chess?"

"Quick chess?"

Hearing this question, Liu Shixian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the new Lakeside Cup will be held in May, only seven games will be held in the first stage.

As the main generals of each country without any dispute, it is impossible for Kim Woo-eun and Rui Zhao to meet in May.

Moreover, what Jin Youen was really worried about was not the Lakeside Cup that she had already won once, but...

Thinking of this, Liu Shixian pursed his lips, and then said tactfully and half-jokingly:
“Do you really want to listen?

"If you listen to this, you might not be able to sleep tonight!"

Hearing this answer, Jin Youen frowned. Liu Shixian continued:
"Sister Youen, I think... you shouldn't care too much about her in the past year and a half - this may not be a good thing."

"What do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

Liu Shixian's answer was still concise:
“Go is still too pure.

"During the few days I practiced chess with her...she never once asked how strong you were, not even once.

“She was staring at…

“…but it’s never right in front of me.”

...

...

"What?!

"Rui Zhao, are you going to participate in the King of Kings Tournament this time too?!"

At 4 pm on April 21, in a restaurant in Qiantang City.

Seeing his junior sister looking so happy, Ni Jue, who was playing the role of host today, was a little surprised. At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Dai Ran standing beside him.

Dai Gong calmly picked up the water and drank it - on the way to Qiantang, he had already fully appreciated the high expectations of this contemporary Zhaojun for the King of Kings Contest, and now he was numb.

After the Spring Orchid Cup ended, Rui Zhao and Dai Ran came to Qiantang today at the invitation of Ni Jue - under the pretext of wanting to have a good chat.

But the famous person never expected that before he made it clear why he called the two over, his own junior sister told him an unexpected news!
"um, yes!"

The girl in front of him, who was becoming more and more attractive, smiled like a brocade:
"Vice Chairman Lu specifically informed me this morning to make sure I could make time to prepare for the competition!
"The other contestants include Lei Qi, Chess Master Lin, Senior Brother Sun, Ji Jiudan, and you, Senior Brother Ni. They are all top players!
"Besides, this is a single round-robin tournament! I can play all of them! All of them!

"Especially Lei Qi Jiudan and Senior Brother Ni, I have never fought against you before! This time I finally have a chance!
"Just by winning one game of chess, you can participate in a top-level competition like the King of Kings. There is such a good thing in the world~"

what……

This time it’s actually a single round-robin tournament!

Ni Jue, who had already prepared himself for being eliminated directly after losing two games in a row in the double elimination tournament, frowned slightly - losing 0-5 is really not a glorious thing.

But...he quickly relaxed his eyebrows again.

It’s okay, I’m definitely not the worst one!

The worst that can happen to me is that I lose all five games, but some people...

I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep once the schedule is officially announced? !

Ni Jue thought to himself with a sense of gloating, and his mood suddenly became cheerful.

At this moment, Rui Zhao seemed to remember something and hurriedly thanked Ni Jue:
"Ah! That's right!
“I still have to thank Senior Brother Ni for your flying knife, which allowed me to defeat Liu Jiudan in the Nongshim Cup and get such a good training opportunity!
"I don't know how to thank you, Brother Ni!"

hey hey...

Who should be thanked for this matter? Rui Zhao, you must have made a mistake! !
Ni Jue said to himself, thinking that this idiot really needs to be carefully protected, otherwise sooner or later he will do something like being sold out and still helping others count money!

However, since Rui Zhao had given her this opportunity, Ni Jue took advantage of it without hesitation:
“That, Rui Zhao.

"If that's the case, I really have something I need you to do me a favor with."

"Hmm? Senior Brother Ni, you tell me!"

Rui Zhao agreed without saying anything:
"As long as I can help, please feel free to ask, brother!"

"Then I'm welcome!"

Ni Jue smiled and said:

"Actually, the reason I called you and Old Dai here this time is mainly because of my guarding of [Celebrity] in the second half of the year."

"Uh, okay!"

Rui Zhao responded very quickly, but then he realized that his senior brother didn't say how to help, so he continued to ask with a little embarrassment:

"Um... do you need me and you to practice with us, just like in this Tianyuan Tournament?"

"more than."

Ni Jue first set the tone, and then slowly explained:
"Rui Zhao, I want to ask you:
"Do you think Lei Qi is powerful now?"

“Very impressive, very impressive!”

Empress Zhaotian nodded repeatedly:
"He just defeated Liu Jiudan and won the Spring Orchid Cup. I think his strength is not much worse than Liu Jiudan!"

"What about Sun Yi?"

"Senior Brother Sun? He's very strong too!

“I practiced a lot with him, and I feel like his strength has been improving over the past six months!
"He used to be no match for Dai Jiudan and Xiong Da Ge, but now he can suppress them... Hmm!"

Rui Zhao suddenly realized something was wrong when he was halfway through his words. He quickly covered his mouth and looked at Dai Ran standing beside him.

But Dai Ran didn't care:

"It's just the truth. There's no need to be so careful."

Ni Jue nodded, and took the opportunity to take over the conversation:

“That’s what worries me.

“To be honest, I really want to keep my [Celebrity], but if it really is Xiao Lei or Monkey King coming to play chess with me, I’ll be really troubled as I’ve just recovered from a serious illness.

"Like in this year's Tianyuan Tournament, I had no confidence at all against Xiao Lei, so I chose to fight him empty-handed."

Hearing this, Rui Zhao fell silent.

After being eliminated by Dai Ran in the Tianyuan Tournament, she had actually been practicing with Ni Jue for a few days, so she had a preliminary understanding of Ni Jue's strength.

The former flying knife expert, now playing slow chess with no knife skills, is at most as good as himself - or even weaker.

If Lei Qi really breaks through the siege as a challenger again, then even if Ni Jue takes action, it is highly likely that he will not be able to keep the title.

Not to mention that Lei Qi is still in the stage of improving his strength, he may become even stronger in half a year!

However, Ni Jue's tone didn't seem to indicate much worry.

Seeing Rui Zhao start to think, he paused and then made his intention clear:
"So Rui Zhao, I was thinking...

"Can you take my flying knife and help me deal with Xiao Lei and Sun Hou'er?"
