The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

The Chu family will lose; that's a foregone conclusion. What everyone is curious about is... why did the Chu family challenge the Luo family in the first place?

Based on their current skill level, even Luo Zhuyu would probably find it difficult to defeat them...

It was 7 p.m., and both teams entered the arena on time...

First release: Chu Family

As the team with priority selection, the Luo family not only has the opportunity to actively choose the right to play, but can also decide the players to play based on the Chu family's starting lineup.

Fortunately, the Luo family chose the rather unusual black pieces. If they had chosen white, the Chu family would have truly faced certain death.

"The starting lineup for the Chu family has been decided: Professional Dan 3 - Chu Jiangyu"

As the young female referee announced the news in her sweet voice, a girl with long, dark blue hair walked out from behind a screen backstage.

Chu Jiangyu...

However, many chess players watching the live stream were slightly taken aback when they saw the girl.

What's going on? This aura...

Although Chu Jiangyu has only been a professional player for a year, he is already a very talented low-ranked professional Go player.

But why does she seem slightly different today?

Sitting in the viewing hall, Shang Gongying, who had just defeated the Chu family not long ago, swayed her long orange hair slightly, somewhat dazed.

Is Chu Jiangyu that kind of girl?

Her long, smooth, deep blue hair cascaded down to her waist, her wispy bangs rested calmly on her eyelids, and her icy blue eyes were filled with an unusual beauty.

A light blue Chu-style Taoist robe trailed on the ground, revealing her calves clad in white over-the-knee stockings at the front.

Although... she should be Chu Jiangyu, no doubt.

Her long, light blue hair was dyed a deep, bluish-blue, and she wore contact lenses that matched Chu Jiangyu's eye color exactly. Her beautiful eyebrows were also made thicker.

Although her face was so beautiful that most of the younger sisters in the Chu family could only look up to her, with subtle makeup, it was impossible for her to be exposed.

Her true identity is Chu Aiyu, the daughter of Chu Fanhe, the seven-time champion Go player.

Of course, after Chu Aiyu impersonated Chu Jiangyu, almost everyone could sense that something was wrong... but they just couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.

Her aura, her powerful and unique presence that she couldn't hide, was so overtly obvious...

With her slender, fair hands gently extending from her dark blue sleeves, Chu Aiyu, holding a white chess box, sat down on the golden sofa chair.

"Chu Jiangyu...this guy is not bad."

Sitting to one side of the commentary booth, professional 8th Dan Chu Pohai revealed a satisfied expression.

"Oh?"

All the chess players sitting in the viewing hall showed a hint of curiosity.

How could Chu Jiangyu, a somewhat ordinary professional chess player, be so confident in facing the Luo family?

Could it be that she's certain Luo Zhuyu will be the first member of the Luo family to go up, and that she's confident she can beat Luo Zhuyu?

"Luo Qingsheng, the first member of the Luo family"

As the female referee announced her name, a stunningly beautiful girl with long, light green hair walked out from backstage.

Echo Princess Luo Qingsheng.

She is a veteran professional sixth dan, a top-tier gatekeeper in the professional Go world, and a player who is on a completely different level from the three members of the Chu family.

Did the professional player make a quiet entrance...? Probably to play it safe.

Professional 6th Dan - Luo Qingsheng

Sitting opposite her, the beautiful girl with long, dark blue hair smiled slightly.

Unexpectedly, this trip to the moon has yielded some unexpected gains, although it doesn't matter to her whether it's Luo Qingsheng or Luo Zhuyu.

"Chu Jiangyu looks so relaxed, what exactly is he planning?"

Seeing his opponent chuckle, Luo Qingsheng felt a sense of unease.

Although she thought it would be a very easy match, she still needed to be cautious.

The Chu family's choice of the Luo family in the first round is highly suspicious and cannot be explained by common sense.

"Speak softly, don't be careless..."

Before she appeared, Fifth Sister had said this to her.

Looking at Chu Jiangyu's beautiful face with a smile on the screen, Luo Dule's tone became slightly heavy.

Chu Donglian, Chu Jiangyu, Chu Jingliu... perhaps one of these three people is the key to breaking their deadlock.

Someone gave them the confidence to challenge the Luo family, but who was it?

It must be said that Luo Dule's intuition was quite strong, even though she did not expect that the Chu family would directly hire outsiders to impersonate them.

Chu Aiyu and Chu Bobo, who came from Mercury, actually arrived on the moon during this time period, so it's impossible for them to make that connection.

Chu Donglian... Chu Jiangyu? Chu Jingliu, which one is special? Luo Dule had been pondering this question.

It shouldn't be Chu Donglian; everyone has already figured out her strength.

And what about Chu Jiangyu? She has just become a professional first dan, and is not someone that the top players of the Luo family should be wary of.

Last place goes to Chu Jingliu, whose presence in the Go world is somewhat low, but... that's only a possibility.

Did they hide their strength? No... Even if they did hide their strength, hiding it to the fourth rank of a professional is a bit too arrogant.

Splash...

With a flick of his light green sleeves, Luo Qingsheng also took the black chess box.

"Fifth Sister is overthinking things. In a game of chess, strength is strength, and strength is everything. As long as I'm stronger than her, that's enough."

His bluish-green eyebrows were slightly raised, and his two bluish-green eyes exuded a sharp and eerie aura.

Don't let Luo Qingsheng's usual frivolous and unserious demeanor fool you...

She is extremely serious during the game; otherwise, she wouldn't have reached this level.

Echoing Princess Luo spoke softly, her whole body seemingly radiating an incomparably sharp aura, her light green long hair moving without wind, gently swaying.

"No matter what you want to do, it's all a futile struggle in the face of absolute power."

Her lovely voice gradually turned cold, and behind Luo Qingsheng, a long, emerald-green spear slowly appeared...

..

Chapter 386: Gun Name Liberation - Echo

The Luo family?

A stunningly beautiful woman with long, light blue hair turned her back to the little girl and said, "That's her mother, Chu Fanhe."

The Luo family, they're a Go family from the moon, they're very strong.

"Are they strong? Who is stronger, them or our Chu family?"

"Haha, the strength of each family varies at different stages. Just like the Luo family is known as the eternal second place on the moon."

When the Ke family dominated the Moon Go world, they were second; after the Ji family rose to prominence, they remained second.

However, one must be careful when playing against the Luo family's chess players...

Chu Fanhe gradually recalled a game of chess he had played in his youth with Luo Zhanye, a renowned player in his prime.

That game of chess also showed her what true...shamelessness really meant.

Contrary to what most chess players would expect, the Luo family's playing style is not as fierce and aggressive as their moves appear...

Instead, some are as cunning as venomous snakes, full of tricks and complex to the point of being dazzling.

You must be extremely careful when playing against them.

......

Luo said softly, "This is my first time playing chess against a player from the Luo family."

The girl with long, dark blue hair smiled gently, recalling what her mother had once told her when she was young.

A slender, fair hand picked up a white chess piece.

With a soft click, Luo Qingsheng placed his first black piece in the upper right corner of the board, almost without thinking.

This is a normal pace, since most professional chess players decide on their opening moves before the game even begins.

pat...

Chu Aiyu, playing white, placed her piece at the star point in the upper right corner of her board.

Hmm...? Her way of holding the chess pieces is a bit strange.

Luo Qingsheng slightly furrowed her green willow-leaf eyebrows. Chu Aiyu's right hand formed a horizontal scissor shape as she used the gap between her two fingers to place a chess piece.

Placing the pieces with fingers side by side... Although this movement looks very gentle, it is actually quite difficult.

In most cases, one finger is placed on top of the other to grip the piece firmly.

Even an ordinary person who has never played Go can easily figure out that it is very difficult to pick up a Go stone with two fingers that are perfectly level.

This move only proves that... her fingers are incredibly slender and soft. Perhaps even... somewhat cartilaginous.

The Chu Jiangyu of the past would never have made such a move; they had investigated the other party's information.

Oh no... I've accidentally revealed something.

Chu Aiyu bit her lip lightly, avoiding the other person's somewhat strange gaze.

She subconsciously made her usual move when placing a piece, not expecting it to make the other person care so much.

It seems... we need to be careful.

pat...

Luo Qingsheng didn't delve into the matter further; her second black stone still landed in the small-point position, a small-point mistake.
