The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

Perhaps it's due to the nature of being blind, but Ji Yingting knows deep down that she is a very cold person.

She was selfish; her desire to see the world clearly went to an extreme degree.

But precisely because she is blind, her inner emotions are incredibly intense, and she has always viewed the world with her heart.

So, she didn't want to just... give up on the cat.

Chapter 421: Ji Yingting's First Defeat?

However... just as Ji Yingting turned to leave, the girl in the mirror revealed a hint of relieved sadness.

"Sakuraba, don't you understand? You're just deceiving yourself."

She... has changed, she changed a long time ago.

The moment she saw the Moon-Devouring Demon Rabbit, the instant she realized she could open her eyes, she decided to change.

Perhaps she had already given up on the cat, but was simply unwilling to admit it.

In short, from this moment on, there was no turning back.

Because of that green-haired girl named Ji Yingting, her heart... has changed.

.....

"Chess player Ji Yingting is back."

"Fifteen minutes? That's not over the time limit, but it should be for pooping!! It seems a bit strange to poop after drinking water?"

"You usually urinate when you poop, right? What's the conflict?"

Seeing the girl with long, light green twin ponytails sit back down, many people in the spectator hall began to whisper among themselves.

"Shall we continue?" Su Nuoyue asked softly.

She tossed her long, snow-white hair, seemingly unconcerned that Ji Yingting had gone to the restroom.

Nowadays, in many games and esports competitions, being paused midway is a very annoying thing, which makes both spectators and professional players particularly irritable.

In many fast-paced FPS shooting games, even a 30-second tactical pause can result in a barrage of criticism from the chat.

However, for professional chess players, even if they sit quietly for half a day, their mindset will not fluctuate at all.

This applies not only to Su Nuoyue, but also to the professional Go players watching the game.

This is perhaps the charm of Go, and also the reason why Ji Yingting didn't want to make a move when her mindset was so unstable.

Because she was a professional Go player, she knew... that playing Go like that would only tarnish the game.

"Can we begin?" Seeing that Ji Yingting didn't speak, Su Nuoyue asked again.

"..."

"you……?"

Su Nuoyue frowned slightly, her snow-white eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

"I don't want to log off anymore..."

"Um……?"

"I don't want to play this game anymore, I'm too tired."

Ji Yingting turned her light green twin ponytails to one side and blinked her pale purple starry eyes gently.

"Hehe, are you kidding me?"

Su Nuoyue narrowed her eyes slightly and laughed in exasperation.

Regardless of the circumstances, even though Su Nuoyue possessed a strange chess strategy, she always took her game against Ji Yingting very seriously.

Regardless of winning or losing, Su Nuoyue really wanted to play a wonderful game against a strong player like Ji Yingting.

But... after a 15-minute pause, Ji Yingting actually said something like that??

So tired? Does she really deserve to be a professional Go player?!

"Can you just admit defeat? You can't beat me anyway... I don't want to undermine your confidence, but honestly, you're weak."

With her slender hands casually playing with her bluish-green hair, Ji Yingting spoke calmly under the shocked gazes of all the onlookers.

This...this is a live broadcast!!

She said she needed to use the restroom near the water dispenser, but no one heard her because the recording equipment was pointed at the chessboard and the players.

However, at such close range, her words were transmitted to the speakers without any discrepancy.

"Can you just admit defeat? You can't beat me anyway... I don't want to undermine your confidence, but honestly, you're weak."

Make the opponent admit defeat? Say the opponent is weak...?

"You're really weak, and your moves are boring, you know that, right? Playing against a player like you is just a waste of everyone's time..."

With her cherry-like lips blowing through her green hair, Ji Yingting spoke in a clear and beautiful voice, but her words were vicious and confident.

Just as the girl said, her heart may have already changed.

“Ji Yingting…”

Bai Zan's small hands clenched tightly, and the girl with long orange hair, Shang Gongying, became extremely angry.

She understands, doesn't she? As a professional Go player, she should never say such a thing!

Su Nuoyue, sitting opposite Ji Yingting, stared wide-eyed in shock, her whole body trembling with anger.

"You despicable bastard... how dare you look down on me!!!"

Her voice trembled slightly, and a blush appeared on her fair face.

"Please be more considerate... okay?"

With a flick of her light green twin ponytails, Ji Yingting lowered her head and didn't look at her again.

Snapped! ! !

"Hmph, you're the one who needs to be more self-aware!!"

Standing beside Ji Yingting, the red-eyed girl with long black hair spoke angrily, and she slapped Ji Yingting hard across the face.

She ran out the moment Ji Yingting uttered her first words, and it's unclear whether she arrived in time. Her red eyes were filled with boundless rage.

"If you don't want to play, can you just admit defeat? Apologize to your opponent, okay? Let me play, okay?"

An Ruotong's voice carried a hint of sobbing.

Such an insulting act towards one's opponent is something a professional chess player should never do under any circumstances!

She couldn't believe that her beloved sister Ji Yingting could say such a thing.

"Haha, could you please help me collect the pieces? Thank you!"

The next second, Ji Yingting stood up with a light laugh under An Ruotong's strange gaze, and casually patted her petite shoulder.

Ji Yingting has abstained...

She walked out of the chess hall with her light green twin ponytails swaying, her mood light and cheerful, her snow-blue Taoist robe concealing her dark shadow.

"Xiaotong, well done, very timely."

The red-haired girl, Ji Hongying, who was watching the battle, took a deep breath.

Although I don't know what happened to my sister, or what exactly happened at the scene.

However, given how things have developed, she is very likely to be banned from competition by the Go Association.

An Ruotong intervened just in time, and Ji Yingting also withdrew midway.

Therefore, what she said earlier could very well be taken as a provocation and warned, rather than being directly banned from the competition.

"Whoo, whoo, whoo"

Watching Ji Yingting's departing figure, An Ruotong and Su Nuoyue were trembling with anger, but An Ruotong quickly recovered and sat down expressionlessly.

Ji Yingting has forfeited... It's time for her to have the final showdown with Su Nuoyue.

Professional 1st Dan An Ruotong vs. Professional 5th Dan Su Nuoyue.

Her long black hair was tinged with red from anger as she carefully collected the chess pieces for Ji Yingting.

However, An Ruotong's lower lip looked like it was about to bleed from being bitten.

She has a strong sense of self-respect and is very proud, so she would never hurt the dignity and pride of other chess players.

"I'm sorry, I'll take responsibility for her mistakes... So, I'll give you a magnificent match."

After collecting the chess pieces, An Ruotong slowly picked up a black chess piece and said in a cold voice.

Chapter 422: Suspension

An Ruotong defeated Su Nuoyue.

After Ji Yingting chose to abstain, perhaps because Su Nuoyue had no intention of fighting, An Ruotong easily deciphered her strategy.

…………

…………

Her long, snow-white hair cascaded down her back, and Su Nuoyue's small mouth was slightly closed as she lowered her head.

"........."

She cried.

You could tell from her slightly choked breathing that she was crying.

A few tears streamed down her pale face in frustration; the Three Lives Cup was a huge blow to her.

The chess player named Ji Yingting actually chose to forfeit the game because she didn't want to continue playing... This is even more unacceptable than forcing her to forfeit.

With the comfort of her two teammates, Su Nuoyue slowly stood up from her seat.
