The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

Although she felt a slight fear of the aura emanating from Ji Bingyuan for a fleeting moment, she did not believe she would lose to that woman.

"Let's eat quickly..." Ji Yingting muttered to herself before lowering her head to continue eating.

As it is a high-end hotel, although the breakfast was made for hundreds of people, it was still quite delicious.

A huge building in the hotel's backyard was used as a venue for Go competitions. When Ji Yingting and the others arrived, the area around the building was already packed with people.

Although it was still springtime during the day, Ji Yingting could feel the heat in the air. She lifted her water lily-colored Taoist robe and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Fortunately... she didn't need to squeeze forward to see it herself; there were several densely packed chess match schedules posted at the entrance of the building.

Why are you pushing me? Are you sick? You have such poor manners!! Where did you come from from?

"Who are you calling an ugly hag?" Two unattractive middle-aged women, each holding a child, started arguing at each other at the entrance of the building, causing many people to step back in disgust.

"Oh, Mom, I can see it myself!" The child's cheeks turned red from being stared at like a monkey by passersby, and he tugged at his mother's clothes in annoyance.

"Sigh," Xin Yufei sighed helplessly. Because of the argument between the two, the security guards went up to maintain order again, so they still had to wait for a long time in the sea of ​​people near the building.

After all, a thousand people coming forward to view their own match schedules is a huge number.

"Shall I go and take a look for you? Ji... Yingting." A sudden voice came from beside Ji Yingting's ear. Because the voice was somewhat familiar, Ji Yingting was slightly stunned.

She briefly recalled that the voice seemed to belong to the giant chess player who had played against her during the training camp.

His name is Han something... Oh, right!!! Han Wei!!

Ji Yingting suddenly felt a sense of admiration for her own memory.

"Wow, a giant!!"

"Just how tall is he? Is he really a chess player? Or is he a member of the national basketball team?" The people closest to the door made way for him.

Under everyone's gaze, a giant with short black hair and a height of nearly 2.2 meters slowly walked forward. With such a tall stature, he only needed to bend down slightly to see all the game tables from a distance.

Bending down, Han Wei scanned the five match tables for a full half minute before finding his own name and Ji Yingting's name.

"Ji, Yingting, you're at table 170, playing white, and your opponent is Cui Jinhuang." Han Wei seemed a little embarrassed, as he was slightly slow to call out Ji Yingting's name.

"Haha, thank you. You're surprisingly a good person..." Ji Yingting said with a light laugh. Great, finally I don't have to stay here and be squeezed anymore.

After a brief farewell to everyone, Ji Yingting slowly walked through the crowd and into the hall.

Pushing open the door, the few drops of sweat on her cheeks instantly disappeared, and a comfortable cool breeze rushed in. Ji Yingting's long, light green hair was blown by the breeze, and her two light green buns swayed a few times.

Unlike the bustling crowds outside, the number of people in the competition venue was very small, and a tranquil atmosphere permeated the five hundred chess tables.

"Hoo," Ji Yingting exhaled a deep breath and slowly opened her pale purple eyes.

The familiar atmosphere, the familiar air conditioning, the familiar sense of victory—I've finally... returned to the stadium. I'm back.

Gently clenching her fists, with a cold wind brushing her face, Ji Yingting walked step by step toward the table in front of her.

"I was filled with the feeling that I couldn't possibly lose... Of course, because I'm stronger than everyone else here."

"Sakuraba, come here!" A busty, beautiful girl with long, flaxen curly hair ran over from a distance.

"Senior Sister Xiaocha, please take me to table 170. I'm playing white," Ji Yingting said slowly.

In a corner of the arena, a girl wearing a straw hat slightly raised her head; her long, fiery red hair was almost entirely covered by the hat.

"Sister... let me see your chess skills. I've already investigated your first-round opponent; he's a top fourth-dan player from Mingyue City. Can you win?"

Ji Hongying lowered her head and muttered to herself. She chose to wear a straw hat so that no one would find out that she looked exactly like Ji Yingting.

"However, why does my sister know that Niu Xiaochai?" she wondered, watching as Niu Xiaochai led Ji Yingting to the chess table. Ji Hongying began to speculate in her mind.

Niu Xiaochai is a strong competitor of hers. Although Ji Hongying and Niu Xiaochai's hand-to-hand combat matches are not in the same region, the two have occasionally met a few times in super-large global competitions.

My record against her is 3 wins and 2 losses, so the two are evenly matched. If my sister knows Niu Xiaochai... does that mean she has joined Lin Hong's 10th Dan seminar?

"Then, my sister's chess skills must be quite good... I'll have to observe her carefully later."

"Hoo," Ji Yingting took a few breaths and sat down in the chair. Everything in front of her was pitch black.

Slowly opening her pale purple eyes, a starry chessboard appeared before her. She was very focused today; she could even see the patterns on the chessboard clearly.

Ji Yingting's right hand, which was holding the chess box, began to tremble slightly, while her left hand kept kneading the green bun to keep herself calm.

The chess skills of professional chess players on the field are completely different from those in friendly matches. They are fundamentally different, have different origins, and are worlds apart.

Ji Yingting had no idea how terrifying her Go skills would be when she returned to the Go arena after such a long absence.

"No, I have to stay calm and not get so excited!" Ji Yingting muttered to herself, her slender hand covering her chest, not even noticing that a girl had already sat down opposite her.

Cui Jinhuang was a little girl with long, curly blonde hair. She was dressed in a Western-style dress and looked at Ji Yingting, who was sitting opposite her, with some displeasure.

Her opponent looked like a lunatic, constantly muttering to himself with his head down. She gave a disdainful sneer.

“…Phew, all done.” Ji Yingting suddenly placed her small hand flat on the hem of her light green Taoist robe.

The next instant, under Cui Jinhuang's shocked gaze, Ji Yingting slowly opened her two mixed-color pupils, half purple and half green. She said expressionlessly to Cui Jinhuang, "For the first round, I'll beat you by 100 points."

Chapter 76: Can't you close your legs?

“…Phew, all done.” Ji Yingting suddenly placed her small hand flat on the hem of her light green Taoist robe.

The next instant, to Cui Jinhuang's astonishment, Ji Yingting slowly opened her two pupils, half purple and half green. She said expressionlessly to Cui Jinhuang, "For the first round, I'll beat you by 100 points."

"100... points?" Cui Jinhuang was slightly taken aback. She widened her golden eyes and laughed, "Hehe, you said you want to beat me by 100 points? 50 coins?"

"I don't know if you're going crazy, but I'll make you remember what pain really means."

Cui Jinhuang tossed her long, golden curly hair and sneered. She quickly took the chess box containing the black pieces from the chessboard.

Aside from amateur 5-dan, she doesn't think she could lose to any amateur player below 5-dan; I'm a genius.

Ji Yingting's light green bangs fell slightly, covering her cheeks. Her pupils revealed a strange color. The pale green moonlight eyes gradually faded, and the whites of her eyes were once again filled with purple starlight.

Her long, light green hair cascaded down her back and around her waist. Ji Yingting's fair hands rested on the hem of her light green Taoist robe, and she lowered her head, breathing softly.

The fabric in front of her chest rose and fell with her breath, though Ji Yingting herself hadn't noticed it yet... but she had definitely moved beyond being flat-chested.

With her fingers gently lifted, strands of her dark hair swirled around her fingertips, and Ji Yingting's mind became completely at peace.

The crowd around them gradually increased, and the empty seats were filled with test takers.

After sitting quietly for twenty minutes, the time for the game finally arrived. At the referee's announcement, the two players simultaneously opened their chess boxes.

After Ji Yingting opened the lid, he placed the chess box on his right.

"Snap!" Little Eye.

The sound of Cui Jinhuang quickly placing her pieces could be heard.

Ji Yingting looked down at the chessboard, and a black piece suddenly appeared in the starry sky. Her thin arm was pulled back in an instant.

"Phew, her move was too clumsy, she hasn't even adjusted her mindset yet..."

Ji Yingting took a small breath, and with her fair and slender hand, she reached out from her water lily-colored sleeve and gently picked up a white chess piece.

With a soft thud, like a water droplet piercing a stone, Ji Yingting gently placed her two fingers on the chessboard and then pushed the piece upwards slightly.

Her graceful move as she placed the chess piece was as elegant and beautiful as dancing on the chessboard, and the fair and delicate arms that emerged from her water lily-colored sleeves revealed a hint of sickly paleness.

Unfortunately, Cui Jinhuang was in no mood to appreciate this morbid beauty; her right hand followed Ji Yingting as he placed the chess piece.

……

……

A female referee wearing a straw hat appeared behind Ji Yingting without her noticing, and stood quietly watching the green figure.

pat, pat.

After placing her piece, Ji Yingting gently tapped the timer on her right.

Oh? Your sister's move speed is very even? She must be in good form...

It's great that my sister wasn't affected by her outburst yesterday.

Ji Hongying raised her eyebrows slightly. Ji Yingting's moves were very steady. Her thinking time for each move averaged about 10-15 seconds. Everyone had an hour.

In contrast, the little girl with long, curly golden hair moved rather roughly and impatiently, her face showing displeasure. She didn't seem to think before placing her piece, and even the force with which she hit the timer was very rough.

*Snap!* The timer ticked a few times, and Cui Jinhuang's legs kept shaking as she casually placed a chess piece.

"Ten wins, my goal is ten wins out of ten. Only then will I be worthy to see my brother's back."

For the provincial competition, the first round is definitely the match with the biggest gap in skill between the players, because the opponents in the first round are randomly selected by the machine.

As a top-tier amateur fourth-dan player, it's perfectly normal for Cui Jinhuang to look down on her opponent in the first round.

But how dare this arrogant woman provoke me?

I have to teach her a lesson. How dare she say she'd beat me by 100 points... It's utterly ridiculous!

Cui Jinhuang kept shaking her fair, slender thighs beneath her dress, banging them against the table with a thud.

Hearing the restless shaking of the other person's leg, Ji Yingting gently pulled a strand of light green hair into her hand and played with it. "Your leg... isn't it a little hard to close?"

On the starry chessboard, Ji Yingting could certainly see the opponent's subtle movements, even though she wasn't paying particular attention to her.

However... the sound of her leg shaking and hitting the bottom of the table was so loud that it directly affected her thinking.

"Your legs... are they a little hard to close?" Ji Yingting gently tilted her head, playing with her long, light green hair.

……

……

……

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Ji Hongying looked slightly taken aback. It seemed a bit inappropriate for her older sister to ask such a suggestive question to a girl who was clearly still in elementary school.

"Hehe," Cui Jinhuang, a primary school student, clearly didn't understand the ambiguity of Ji Yingting's words, but she knew that Ji Yingting was provoking her.

Cui Jinhuang tossed her long, golden curly hair and said loudly, "Yeah, so what? You're right, my legs just won't close. What does it have to do with you that my legs can't close? Can you help me close them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of her leg shaking became even more intense, thump thump thump.
