Di Yuanlong also saw his chess lot at this moment and couldn’t help but let out a fiendish chuckle, "Gong Changyue, it seems we are truly fated! We were opponents in the last competition, and here we meet again!"
Gong Changyue’s face turned pale, and a hint of retreat flashed in his eyes.
Just as Di Yuanlong said, in the chess competition of the last edition.
It was then that Gong Changyue, having just affirmed his nine ranks of cultivation, followed his family elders to compete and met Di Yuanlong in the first round.
The once high-spirited Gong Changyue was mercilessly trounced by the powerful chess skills of Di Yuanlong, ending in defeat.
If that had been all, it wouldn’t have mattered so much.
The key issue was that all the members of the Gong Family who had been sent out were completely defeated, with none able to advance to the second round.
As a result, Di Yuanlong had taken every opportunity to mock her mercilessly, dealing a devastating blow to Gong Changyue’s self-esteem.
This left Gong Changyue with a deep psychological shadow.
So much so that today, upon seeing that her opponent was once again Di Yuanlong, Gong Changyue couldn’t help but feel a tinge of cowardice.
"What’s the matter? Scared?" Di Yuanlong said with a leer, licking his lips and displaying a terrifying smile. "Don’t worry, once we’re on the field of competition, I’ll make sure to ’take care’ of you and leave you with some lovely memories."
Upon hearing these words, Gong Changyue couldn’t help but take two steps back, her face showing uncertainty.
It was at this moment.
A slender yet strong hand gently patted his shoulder, followed by a lightly spoken question: "Do you know what’s the most important quality for a chess master to have?"
Gong Changyue was startled, looking up to see Xue An smiling at him.
Then he shook his head in confusion.
Xue An glanced over at Di Yuanlong and spoke softly, "As a chess master, the most important quality is to have the boldness to forge ahead even if millions stand in your way!"
"To forge ahead even if millions stand in your way..." Gong Changyue murmured to himself.
Xue An smiled, "To put it simply, it’s two words! Do him in!"
"Do him in?"
"Right! No matter who the other person is, no matter how high their status or how formidable their strength, you must look at them with a fearless heart. Because when enemies meet on a narrow path, being afraid is useless! Isn’t it better to risk everything and fight with all you’ve got? Do you understand?"
Hearing Xue An’s words, the timidity in Gong Changyue’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented determination.
"Thank you, Mr. Xue, I understand!"
At that moment, Xue An suddenly gave a sly smile, then leaned over and whispered in Gong Changyue’s ear, "Actually, it’s the same with chasing girls. First, you need a face thick as a city wall and a heart that fears no loss. No matter what she thinks, you pursue first! Understand?"
Gong Changyue’s face instantly turned red to the tips of his toes, stammering, "Xue... Mr. Xue, I... I..."
Xue An waved his hand, "Zhuge Xuanqing obviously holds a special place for you, otherwise with her character, even if you were to die in front of her, she wouldn’t bother with you. So what’s left is for you to take your chance!"
At this point, Xue An paused, "But do you think she would like a man who’s timid at heart, who even dares not commit to the fight, or would prefer one who, when enemies meet on a narrow path, dares to draw his sword?"
Sometimes love is indeed a wondrous thing.
It can make the cowardly brave, and the wise foolish.
At least Gong Changyue, upon hearing Xue An’s words, quickly regained his composure, his eyes now twinkling with a light he had never shown before.
"Mr. Xue, I understand!"
"Understand what?" said Xue An with a smirk.
Gong Changyue pointed at Di Yuanlong, who wore a puzzled face, not understanding what Xue An and Gong Changyue were muttering about, and said coldly, "Boy, just wait and see how I take care of you!"
These words almost made Di Yuanlong suspect he had heard wrong, and he became furious in an instant.
"Gong, are you seeking death?"
Gong Changyue sneered back, "You’ll be the one to die first!"
