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

Chapter 680 You are far better than me
"What--?
"Rui Zhao, are you still a little bit bothered about the fact that you beat us with a throwing knife in the celebrity competition?!!"

At 6:30 pm on the same day, in a corner of the cafe of De Ming International Hotel.

Sun Yi, who was just called by Ni Jue, shouted in surprise after listening to the narration of the former celebrity.

Hou'er, who has been busy trying to achieve better results recently, never expected that his junior sister would be in such a situation. He then looked at Rui Zhao beside him and said:
"No! Didn't I ask Brother Jue to tell you that I was fine?

"Why are you still fussing over such a small matter?"

"No, it's not quite the same..."

Rui Zhao hesitated and explained in a very introverted voice:

"At the time, I felt that I was helping Senior Brother Ni defend his title, so even though I felt a little embarrassed to kill Senior Brother Sun, I could still find an excuse for myself...

"But in the end, I was the one who got the title of [Celebrity] undeservingly. I felt that I relied on Senior Brother Ni's flying knife to beat you, Lei Qi 9th Dan, and Ji Qiujuan 9th Dan. It was really despicable..."

ha--?!

These words made Sun Yi even more confused.

Oh!
Ni Jue can just play some tricks and borrow you to kill potential opponents, that's all? !

If you were to use a flying knife to get the [Celebrity], wouldn't that work? !

What is this “be strict with yourself and lenient with others”? ! ! !
After hearing what his junior sister said, Monkey King, who was already in a bad mood due to failures in the Nongshim Cup and LIG Cup, couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, Rui Zhao hadn't finished her words yet, and continued to express her recent thoughts:
"... Including, I heard you say after the Masters Tournament that you were going to propose to Sister Yu Hong during the Chinese New Year, and you really need to have some impressive results.

"After the Masters Tournament, your results in the Nongshim Cup and LIG Cup were not very good, and you looked very upset after losing, so I wondered if the Masters Tournament had some impact on you..."

"Hey wait wait!"

Seeing that the eyes of Ni Jue, Dai Ran, Ji Qiujuan, and Lei Qi were all focused on him instead of Rui Zhao, Sun Wukong, who had never told anyone about the plan, quickly called out to his junior sister with a red face:

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Rui Zhao!

"Did I ever complain to you about this?"

"Yes!"

Rui Zhao nodded crisply and replied:

"I remember it was the night of the Masters Challenger Finals. I didn't wait for Lei Qi to review the game in the evening, so I came to practice with you, brother. Then you complained in the evening..."

Ah this... uh...

Well, it seems that this is true...

Hearing this, Sun Yi, who seemed to have some impression, muttered secretly in his heart.

To be honest, even though Sun Yi feels that his performance in competitions has been normal recently, if you ask whether he is under a lot of pressure on a daily basis - the pressure is really high!

If I don't show some results, I don't know how to face my girlfriend!
Under such circumstances, it was natural for him to complain to his financial sponsor's sister during their practice - even though he actually didn't want other people in the circle to know about this plan.

I never thought this little fool would actually worry about me...

Obviously, apart from making money from her, I have never helped her in any way...

Sun Yi scratched his head embarrassedly, thought for a while and then smiled bitterly:

"Hey, Rui Zhao! What can I say to you?
"First of all, let me be honest with you - I really don't care about what happened in the Masters Tournament!

"For chess players, they are all trying their best to win within the rules! I believe you are the same.

"Put yourself in my shoes: If I used someone else's flying knife to crush you in the Masters Tournament, would you think I was mean?"

Rui Zhao was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he smiled embarrassedly:

"Not really."

"Really?
"Then don't think of the three of us as being so petty!"

Seeing that Rui Zhao realized that he might be too strict with himself, Sun Yi continued to persuade him. At this time, Ni Jue on the side also secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"I-that's not what I meant."

Hearing what Sun Yi said, the contemporary Zhaojun quickly shook her hand:

"I, I just feel that my strength is not enough, and I am not a very powerful person, but I got the title of [Celebrity] from Senior Brother Ni...

"I always feel that... I am not worthy of my position..."

"Is your virtue unworthy of your position?"

Sun Yi smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and then continued to persuade:

"Rui Zhao, if you think you don't deserve the title of "Celebrity"...

"Then where do you put me, a chess master of the time?"

"...Eh?" Seeing that his junior sister still didn't seem to understand, Monkey King sighed and spoke out his recent thoughts:
"Rui Zhao, you are far better than me.

"——This is something I quickly realized since I met you."

"……ah?

"This, this is totally untrue! Senior Brother Sun, you..."

"Hear me out."

In response to Junior Sister's denial, Sun Yi interrupted directly:
“Ever since I received the title of [Chess Fairy], Teacher Yu has been teaching me that since the title holder enjoys the right to accept challenges, it is undoubtedly necessary for him to shoulder his own responsibilities!
“But… to be fair, ever since I got this title, I seemed to be complacent for a long time, and stopped making progress with this little achievement.

"We have never made it to the finals in the World Series. This was the only time we looked like we were going to make it to the finals in the Nongshim Cup. In the last tournament, we even made a mistake in a common variation, which was embarrassing. We could say we gave Young Master Liu a game for free. Now it seems like it was pure treason.

"Compared to you who helped the country regain the Lakeside Cup and Nongshim Cup and made great contributions to the promotion and development of Go events, I pale in comparison.

"If you feel that you are unworthy of your position, then how can I be considered as such?"

"No, no, Senior Brother Sun..."

Sun Yi's retreat-to-advance strategy immediately confused Rui Zhao, who was a little entangled at first, and he began to comfort Sun Yi instead:
"After all, I am not as strong as you..."

“But it’s so close!
"At the very least, you are definitely much stronger than I was when I first won the title, and you are not weaker than I was at this time last year!"

Sun Yi continued to use his own example to persuade:
"Rui Zhao, over the past year or so, I have worked hard to achieve better results. Although I consider this for my own honor, I also hope that I can live up to the name of [Yi Xian] in the future.

"And now your becoming a Celebrity is a done deal. Although I definitely think you deserve it, if you really have some problems, instead of struggling with it, I think it would be a better solution to show truly irrefutable achievements in the position of Celebrity - just like what I have done in the past year.

“Let’s not talk about the distant future, the Huaying Celebrity Competition at the end of the month is very important!

"We haven't had this competition for 30 years. If you were to perform poorly because of your anxiety, you would be letting us down!
"Right? Ji Qiujuan, Xiao Lei?"

Rui Zhao looked at Ji and Lei upon hearing this, only to see Ji Qiujuan nodded calmly, while Lei Qi blushed and complained:
"I just said it before - I have always regarded you as a 'strong rival'!

"What's wrong with someone I, Lei, consider a 'strong rival' getting a [Celebrity]?!

"You have to perform like you did in the last two games every day. That will make me look like a clown!"

"I, I understand! I was too ignorant before!"

After hearing this, Rui Zhao felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off his chest. He seemed to feel a lot more relaxed, and then he said with great determination:

"I'm so sorry for making everyone worried!

"Thank you, Senior Brother Sun, for your guidance! I will definitely give my all in this Huaying Celebrity Competition and live up to the title of Celebrity!"

Seeing that Rui Zhao had finally recovered, everyone exchanged glances.

Except for Lei Qi who seemed a little hesitant and said, "Before you go to Japan, you still have one round of Go League with our team. I will check your condition then" and then left, everyone else offered their encouragement.

Then they all went back to their rooms, putting an end to this little accident.

However, before Sun Yi left, Ni Jue stopped the current chess master and praised him with great satisfaction:
"Sun Yi, you have really matured a lot in the past year!"

Sun Wukong was startled when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said:

“Compared to her... it’s still far behind!
"Director Qian recently framed the chess game he played against Lei Qi in the Rui Zhao Masters Tournament and brought it to his office.

"And I am still pursuing a breakthrough from zero..."

"Don't worry, it will happen!"

Ni Jue patted Sun Yi on the shoulder and said:
“Compared to the previous two years, you have really grown a lot in all aspects.

"Perhaps in your auspicious place, Deming City, the first music score that will be appreciated by Director Qian will be born!"

"I hope so!"

Facing the sincere blessing from the former celebrity Tianyuan, the contemporary chess master sighed softly, accepting his auspicious words.

Unfortunately……

Eight out of ten things in life are not as we wish.

...

...

December 12, De Ming International Hotel.

The final round of the 2025 Yixian Tournament of Chess ended here.

Lei Qi, China's number one player and holder of three titles: [Chess Saint], [Tianyuan] and [National Player], gained a slight advantage in the fierce battle in the middle game and managed to maintain the advantage until the end. In the end, he won with one and a quarter advantage with white.

With this victory, he defeated Sun Yi with a total score of 2 to 1 and won his fourth individual title, setting a record in the Chinese chess world.
