Luo Chen closed the door behind him and chuckled softly.
Yaksha God Ten'i shuddered, recognizing Luo Chen's voice. As a result, he huddled even closer to the corner of the wall, almost as if he wanted to completely blend into it, refusing to let Luo Chen see him.
"So what if you lost one game?"
Luo Chen didn't want to disturb the 523 proud little girls' seclusion, lest he be too forceful and cause them to feel extremely ashamed.
That would be an incredibly powerful attack on a proud and arrogant person!
He sat cross-legged at a shogi table in the chess room and said casually, "For you brilliant elementary school students, losing can sometimes be a good thing."
Yaksha God Ten'i covered his ears, expressing his protest with his actions: I won't listen! This is utter nonsense!
Luo Chen ignored him and continued talking: "I know that although you are indeed a bit arrogant, you are definitely not the kind of person who can't accept any failure."
So, the reason you're unhappy right now... I'd venture a guess: it's because in the same introductory battle, you lost to your opponent, but love won, right?
Comparing the two, do you feel you also lost to love, and lost decisively and thoroughly, so do you feel ashamed?
Yaksha Ten'i buried her face even deeper and covered her ears even harder, muttering, "Baka, baka baka, no, no."
Luo Chen gently stroked his chin and said, "In my opinion, it's definitely embarrassing, since you did lose."
Yaksha God's Heavenly Robe shuddered in fury!
Luo Chen added, "However, if we have to say it, it's not honorable for Ai to win, since Ai's opponent is only Miss Zhudai."
"Comparing a female player at level 3 with a female player at the highest level, there's really not much to say..."
"Of course, Miss Zhudai had two pieces and Miss Yuemie had four pieces. To a certain extent, this way of placing the pieces can also make up for the difference."
"but!"
Luo Chen grinned, then suddenly lowered his voice, as if carefully informing him, "Hey~! I have a secret to tell you, but you can't tell anyone."
Yasha Shin'i curled himself up like a little shrimp, almost completely shrinking into the corner, but his hands, which were tightly covering his ears, were unconsciously loosening their grip.
"Cough cough!"
Luo Chen said seriously, "This morning, I asked Teacher Murasame to inquire about the entrance battle, and I also learned another crucial piece of information... about Miss Tamashiro!"
At this point, Luo Chen's voice grew softer and softer.
Yaksha God Ten'i was getting a little anxious, and hurriedly loosened his grip again. Because he hadn't heard any movement, in the end, the back of his hand was completely arched, partially covering his ears.
I'm so worried!!
Noticing this, Luo Chen grinned and continued without keeping him in suspense: "So, Miss Zhudai is a huge fan of Mr. Yamada, and the kind of fangirl who's eager to offer herself up..."
"That's fantastic! As we all know, this morning, Kuzuryuu Yaichi and Yamakabe had already tied 2-2, and this afternoon, the former went even further and shut out Yamakabe 3-2, completely winning the Dragon King Tournament!"
"Heh~! The interesting chain reaction has come, hasn't it? Everyone saw how Ms. Tamayo chased after Mr. Yamato this afternoon in a sorry state."
"Now let's put ourselves in their shoes. If the Dragon King Tournament, which we are so passionately supporting, suffered a crushing defeat and then we were ruthlessly abandoned, wouldn't our mentality be affected?"
The Yaksha God's Robe trembled violently at that moment, as if it resonated with what Luo Chen had said and found a point of resonance!
Luo Chen stroked his chin and said, "That's inevitable, without a doubt. So to be precise, Ai's victory today was somewhat unfair. After all, she was fighting a heartbroken and frustrated Miss Zhu Dai, while you were dealing with a fully-fledged Miss Yue Mie."
After saying all that, the proud little loli who had been hiding in the corner turned around for the first time, her eyes brimming with tears, and asked through gritted teeth, "Really?"
"Of course! I swear!"
"Just this morning, I had a special conversation with Murasame-sensei about these things. At that time, Murasame-sensei said, 'It's very easy for Ai to win, but it's very difficult for Tianyi to win.'"
Luo Chen raised three fingers without hesitation.
If it's an oath, then of course it doesn't matter.
As for what I just said about Shiro Tsubaki's condition being affected... of course, that's all false!
Although he didn't know why Shikaji Tamayo was completely unaffected by the loss of the mountain sword, and was still swift in the introductory battle this afternoon.
But it doesn't matter. Who cares how fierce she is? It's not her who's playing against Ten'i. So Yasha-shin Ten'i has no time to think and has a perfect opportunity to observe whether Shikaji-nii Tamayo is in good form.
After all, who is Yue Mieguiyi?
The pressure she alone brought was enough to completely distract Yasha Shinten from her game of Go.
Of course, it's also possible that Yasha Shinten-i will watch the recording later and discover that he was lying, but that's okay.
For Luo Chen, comforting this proud little loli right now is enough.
"I didn't lose?"
Yaksha God Ten'i asked again, her little face tense.
"of course."
Luo Chen nodded again.
"Is that really what you think?" Yasha Shinten asked again.
"Absolutely!" Luo Chen replied.
Yaksha God Ten'i fell silent, lowered her face, and suddenly had nothing to say, not knowing what to say.
Luo Chen took the initiative to start a conversation, teasing with a smile: "Wipe your tears first. Look at you, you've cried like a little kitten. You're not strong at all, Tianyi."
"Who! Who's crying?"
The Yaksha God Ten'i, who had been looking down, immediately became anxious. She hurriedly wiped her face and then stood up from the ground.
Faced with Luo Chen's smiling gaze, she was extremely embarrassed and annoyed. She awkwardly hugged her shoulders, turned her face to the upper right corner, and after a while, she felt that this was not imposing enough, so she pulled at the corner of her eye and made a face at Luo Chen!
"I didn't cry, you idiot Luo Chen, hmph!"
Luo Chen: "..."
Hey, isn't this child being a bit too rude?
So what if he's arrogant? Just call him by his name... doesn't that make you want a spanking?
But then again, he doesn't seem to have ever heard this kid call him "chairman" before. What could be the reason for that...?
Click!
As I was thinking, the door was slowly pushed open.
"Young Master, the Yaksha God Clan Head and... Gudu! The Guild Master has arrived."
It's Murasame-sensei.
Interestingly, after glancing down the corridor, she swallowed hard before finishing her sentence.
Especially the last few words.
"President," the last syllable was emphasized slightly!
Chapter 160 The Eternal Life of the Fifth 'Celebrity'
"Oh?"
Luo Chen stood up with great interest.
When Yashashin Ten'i heard Murasame mention the head of the Yashashin family, he realized that his grandfather had arrived, and he ran out even faster than Luo Chen.
"Oh, Jisan!"
When Yasha Shintengi lunged forward, there were no tears left on her face. She tightly hugged the leg of an old man in a yukata with a white beard who was walking towards her in the corridor.
"Haha! Ten'i-chan, Grandpa heard from Ikeda that you had a really great beginner's match today! As expected of Ten'i-chan, Sukuni-!"
The old man looked very energetic, laughed heartily, and squatted down to hug his granddaughter.
Yaksha God Ten'i didn't know what to say, so she bit her lip and glanced back at Luo Chen.
With her little lips pouting, she silently asked: Am I like this?
Luo Chen agreed: "That's true."
"Hey~" Yasha Shinten-i buried her little face in her grandfather's lap and chuckled secretly.
"Luo Chen, kid."
The old man patted his granddaughter's head, then turned his equally eager gaze to Luo Chen, nodding with great satisfaction: "A young talent has emerged. I've heard of you for a long time and have always wanted to meet you. Today, my wish has finally come true."
Luo Chen apologized: "I've been very busy before, so..."
"Hey~! It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just rambling on, I didn't mean to be angry at all. By the way, come on, Luo Chen, let me introduce you to someone." Yaksha Shen Hongtian chuckled.
Luo Chen had actually seen the person standing behind the old man a long time ago.
With short silver hair, her face doesn't look old; in fact, she looks more youthful. But upon closer inspection, you can see that there are many signs of aging on her face, especially the prominent crow's feet.
He wore a seemingly unchanging white shirt, over which he wore a proper gray vest and gray overalls.
The most striking feature is undoubtedly the other person's eyes.
With eyes that seem perpetually half-closed, she exudes a friendly aura with a faint smile at all times.
But in reality, Luo Chen knew that the other party couldn't see anything.
The literal meaning is: blindness!
Moonlight Saint World, the president of the Shogi Alliance! ... Luo Chen murmured to himself, finally understanding why Murasame-sensei had swallowed hard before finishing his sentence.
