The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

Although Ji Yingting's vision was completely dark, the spot where Lin Yue stood seemed to emit tiny specks of starlight. Ji Yingting stared wide-eyed in slight surprise.

"Thank you... Perhaps after the professional exam, I will never play Go again, but I also want to be like you... different from others!"

After Lin Yue left, Ji Yingting silently followed her out, becoming the last contestant to leave the competition venue.

"Ji Yingting won, right?" The beautiful woman with long, light green hair recorded Ji Yingting's score, her light green eyes filled with a hint of satisfaction.

"Uh-huh"

...

Outside the venue, Ma Gongling stared silently at the little girl with light green hair. She was slightly older than Luo Zhuyu and about 1.6 meters tall, with long brown hair that reached her waist.

"Hey, wanna grab some lunch together?"

The brown-haired woman with a gloomy face suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice. If it weren't for her terrifying expression, Ma Gongling would actually look like a rather cute girl.

"Ah! Sakuraba-nii-san is out!"

Ignoring Ma Gongling, Luo Zhuyu flicked her light green hair dismissively. When she saw Ji Yingting walking out of the competition venue, she immediately avoided Ma Gongling's gaze and ran forward.

This gloomy woman is really unpleasant; I clearly don't want to talk to her...

Luo Zhuyu successfully found an excuse to avoid her harassment, and she ran over and grabbed Ji Yingting's arm.

Oh? Who is she?

Ma Gongling tossed her long brown hair, her pupils slightly puzzled as she glanced at Ji Yingting's greenish-blue hair. She didn't recognize Ji Yingting.

After all... she had been in seclusion for a whole month to prepare for this professional exam, so it was normal that she didn't recognize Ji Yingting, who had just achieved ten consecutive victories in the provincial competition.

Hmm? At the same time, Ji Yingting also frowned slightly on her crescent-shaped, light green eyebrows. A sharp feeling pierced her brow. She blinked her pale purple star-like eyes and glared back at the direction of the cinnabar between Ma Gongling's eyebrows.

"Someone Luo Zhuyu knows? Then her chess skills must be pretty good, right?" Ma Gongling murmured to herself, her black robe fluttering gently.

The back of the black robe was printed with a golden horse character, which resembled a golden longbow.

"Big sister, she's a chess player from Huangyue City, her name is Ma Gongling."

After Ma Gongling turned and left, Luo Zhuyu explained to Ji Yingting that he was also one of the people she disliked very much.

"Hmm," Ji Yingting nodded seriously.

Ma Gongling? I always felt she was a somewhat dangerous person, Ji Yingting silently memorized the name.

"Oh right, didn't you say that Hua Shenxi was crying? Take me to see her..."

"Oh, I almost forgot, let's go over there now."

Following the underground passage of the professional chess academy, Ji Yingting and Luo Zhuyu walked for about ten minutes before finally arriving at the examination room for Group B.

"Ah, why is the exam location for Group B in such a remote place? Although the environment feels much more mysterious than that of Group A!" Luo Zhuyu said enviously, looking at the surrounding walls. The professional chess academy also has very complete facilities and restaurants in the basement. Children always like places that are a little mysterious.

"Ugh, you're walking too fast, my legs are so tired."

Ji Yingting squinted her pale purple starry eyes and sat down on the sofa, raising her two beautiful legs in white stockings to rub her blue cloth boots.

"Ah, Yingting, what brings you here?" Ji Yingting had just sat down on the sofa outside the examination room when a familiar voice quickly came from beside her ear. A little girl with purple hair and a bob haircut asked curiously.

"Qi Yue... have you seen that little girl with the pink pear-shaped hair? Her name is Hua Shenxi."

"Pink pear blossom hair... Sakura, what's wrong?" Qi Yue asked in surprise. It was the first time she had ever seen Ji Sakura accurately describe someone's appearance.

"Ah...no, I just heard from others that she looks like this. Anyway, she's a cute little girl with pink hair," Ji Yingting realized she had let something slip and explained, shaking her long, light green hair.

Qi Yue scratched her purple hair and gently pointed to the toilet, saying, "I've seen her before. She rushed out and ran into the toilet just now... By the way, Sakuraba, shall we go have lunch together?!"

"Ah, thank you so much, but I'm sorry... I don't have time today," Ji Yingting said gratefully. Under Qi Yue's strange gaze, she and Luo Zhuyu ran into the restroom together.

"Is it in such a hurry? You won't even have a meal with me before running off to find other little girls..." Qi Yue pouted aggrievedly, watching Ji Yingting's departing green-blue figure, her purple ahoge (cowlick) immediately curled up.

................................

"Waaaaaahh ...

Even though she managed to hold it in during the game... she still couldn't resist running to the toilet during lunch break.

"Waaaaah!" Hua Shenxi raised her hand and gently touched her pink face. A red handprint had gradually faded away. Her face was still red and swollen in the morning, a mark left by her mother's slap.

Even now... Hua Shenxi still doesn't understand why her mother hit her. Was it because she was dissatisfied with the gift she gave her?

"Hmm... what's wrong?" A slightly familiar voice came from beside her ear. Hua Shenxi quickly raised her head and saw a small light green head peeking out from the toilet door frame and asking.

"Ah!" After screaming, Hua Shenxi quickly covered her private parts with her small hands and pulled up her pink Taoist robe.

"Xiaoyu?" Hua Shenxi asked with some doubt, wondering when Luo Zhuyu had grown so tall.

"Waaah, hurry up and get down, or I'm going to throw you off!"

Ji Yingting shook her small, green head, and Luo Zhuyu, who was perched on her head, wobbled a few times and fell down.

170: Domestic Violence

"woooooo"

"Don't cry..." Ji Yingting patted Hua Shenxi's head helplessly. She was drinking iced cola while squeezing out tears, her pink pear-shaped hair swinging wildly.

"What happened?" Luo Zhuyu asked curiously, sitting to Hua Shenxi's left. It was the first time she had ever seen Hua Shenxi cry so sadly.

"Waaaaah, my mom hit me..."

"No way... I remember your mother was very gentle?" Luo Zhuyu tilted her light green hair and asked in confusion.

Ji Yingting angrily raised one of her green ahoge (cowlicks), hugged Hua Shenxi to her arms, and said angrily, "How could your mother hit you! Come on, let's go find your mother and reason with her!"

"No...it seems to be because of that gift. Mom doesn't seem to like that gift," Hua Shenxi said, crying.

"What gift?"

“It’s a warm scarf, I think it’s quite nice,” Ji Yingting explained to Luo Zhuyu. After all, Hua Shenxi got the scarf from her, so hearing that her mother didn’t like the gift made Ji Yingting a little concerned.

"Big sister, where did you get this gift from? Did you buy it yourself?" Luo Zhuyu continued to ask.

Ji Yingting swayed her long, light green hair and pondered for a moment before replying, "I got it from Xiaomi..."

"Xiao Mi? Senior Sister Ye Xiao Mi? She's come to Yongyue City?" Hua Shenxi gradually stopped crying, her pink and blue eyes fixed on Ji Yingting as she asked.

"Yes, you're in the same room with me right now..."

"Then why don't we ask Senior Sister Ye Xiaomi tonight?" Luo Zhuyu suggested.

"Hmm, the gift I got from Sister Sakuraba is a long, snow-white, fluffy scarf. It's really comfortable to wear around my neck. Did Senior Sister Xiaomi say anything to you, Sister Sakuraba?"

"Hmm... I can't quite remember either, but Xiaomi's tone was a little strange... I really need to ask her about it tonight."

As time went by, Hua Shenxi gradually stopped sobbing. After being comforted by Luo Zhuyu and Ji Yingting for so long, her mood improved somewhat.

After all, there was still an afternoon game after the lunch break, and it wouldn't be good to lose control of one's emotions. Hua Shenxi took a tissue and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Mmm, what a good girl. If you have any grievances, you can tell your older sister." Ji Yingting gently patted Hua Shenxi's pink head and put her back on the sofa from her white silk thighs.

***********************************

"Sakuraba-nii, your game is over, right? Where are you planning to go this afternoon? Walking through the basement..."

As Luo Zhuyu walked, she asked, "The match between me and Ji Yingting was decided in the morning. We won't need to return to the competition venue until the third round of the competition starts tomorrow."

"Xiaoyu! You stop right there! It's Xiaoyu, isn't it?!" Just as the two were walking, a stern female voice came from behind them.

Huh? Ji Yingting, her long, bluish-green hair swaying, paused slightly, wondering who it was.

Could it be that Dad found out? Luo Zhuyu turned around and her face immediately stiffened.

"Big sister! Let's run!" After saying that, Luo Zhuyu grabbed Ji Yingting's slender hand and started running.

"Hey? What's going on? What happened?" Pulled along by Luo Zhuyu, a greenish-blue hair stood up from Ji Yingting's head. She tilted the greenish-blue hair in surprise.

"Oh no... I shouldn't have come to the Group B exam room! My dad found out by accident." Luo Zhuyu was filled with regret. Not far behind them, a woman with long light green hair was chasing after them in black high heels.

"Xiaoyu, you stop right there!! Or your dad will hit you!!"

"Luo, Zhu, Yu!! You just wait! You're finished!"

The woman behind him was cursing angrily, but Luo Zhuyu did not give up on escaping because of her threats.

Luo Zhuyu's mother is a referee in Group B, and her father came with her. Her mother had clearly already tattled on her!

Of course... her father didn't know she was there to take the professional exam.

"Xiaoyu, who is that woman? Is she your father?" Having finally reached a relatively safe place, Ji Yingting wearily shook the sweat from her long, bluish-green hair. Running this fast was truly exhausting for a blind person…

"Shh... I'll tell you later! Big sister, let's leave the underpass first, it's too dangerous to stay here."

Luo Zhuyu glanced back at the figure that had already disappeared and whispered, then quietly pulled Ji Yingting into the elevator.

"Huff, huff," the woman with light green hair chased after the two for a long time, panting heavily, but in the end she could only watch them escape her sight. She stomped her black high-heeled boots angrily on the ground.

Although born into the famous Luo family, a renowned Go-playing clan, Luo Xiaoyun utterly despised Go. Everyone knew that playing Go all day long was incredibly boring…

She believed that her daughter should absolutely not be exposed to Go! It would ruin her future... just like her father and his wife... they would become fools from playing Go.

Of course, Luo Xiaoyun didn't know that Luo Zhuyu had been secretly learning Go for several years. Today, she happened to see a figure that looked very much like Luo Zhuyu while delivering food to her wife.

When...when exactly...when did she start secretly learning Go?

Luo Xiaoyun felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her daughter, Luo Zhuyu, was at the professional chess academy in Yongyue City at this time... Even if she only thought about it with her own eyes, she could conclude that Luo Zhuyu was there to take the professional exam.

I've never heard of... When did Xiaoyu start participating in the competition?

Thinking about it carefully... there are indeed many things that don't seem right. Everyone is keeping it from me. How could my dad and the others not know that Xiaoyu can play Go?

Su Chan must know about this... I need to go ask her!

Luo Zhuyu! You just wait!!! See how Daddy will punish you when he catches you! Haven't spanked you in years and you're itching for a spanking again?

Luo Xiaoyun gritted her teeth and carried the lunchbox to the B group exam room. A beautiful woman with long silver hair was still sitting on the sofa outside the exam room, unaware of what was happening, waiting for her husband to bring her lunch.

Perhaps another brutal domestic violence incident is about to occur, but of course... this has little to do with Luo Zhuyu, who has already escaped the clutches of the evil spirit. She can only silently mourn for her mother for a second.

Chapter 171: Threatening to Die

"Thud..." Ji Yingting placed a white chess piece on the chessboard, her pale purple eyes half-closed in contentment as she enjoyed the massage, while she sipped a chilled milkshake in her left hand.

"So... why did you come here?" Ye Xiaomi asked curiously, sitting opposite Ji Yingting. Hua Shenxi and Luo Zhuyu were smiling and helping Ji Yingting pat her back. This was obviously an attempt to curry favor, wasn't it?
