Chapter 137: Utter Humiliation!
Ye Fan was pushed onto the stage dumbfoundedly. Before he even found out what happened, he saw a rather vile looking man stand up from his chair and walk towards him.
“You are Ye Fan, the Go youth from the City of Brisk?”
Ye Fan scratched his head, “I am Ye Fan. Others call me the Go youth.”
Lu Jiahao obviously wasn’t interested in this. Instead, he asked with a serious expression, “I heard you were the one who solved the Exquisite Unrivaled Positioning?”
Before Ye Fan could respond, an uncle down there proudly screamed out, “That’s right! What is it, are you scared now?”
Lu Jiahao laughed out loud, “It’s not for certain whether or not he is the Go God. Why should I be afraid? I don’t believe for a minute that the Go God is from the City of Brisk.”
Then, he snickered, “Whether he is a donkey or a horse, we’ll find out after we try. Zhang Liang, tell him the rules.”
Zhang Liang nodded and then recited the Go Competition rules to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded. “Then, let’s start.”
Zhang Liang couldn’t help but glance over at Ye Fan. It didn’t matter if he was going to win or not, this young man’s appearance and aura alone was well-deserving of compliments.
Everyone below couldn’t help but feel hopeful.
Ye Fan and Zhang Liang played for a whole hour. Just as everyone was getting dizzy from hunger, they heard Ye Fan’s shy voice from above, “You played well.”
Someone from the crowd realized what this meant and widened his eyes, “We won?”
“Yes, we won!”
“Oh my god, we finally won!”
“Ye Fan is the youth of Go after all! He truly is the grandson of Master Ye! He brings honor to the City of Brisk!”
Everyone below cheered happily. The entire place was more boisterous than New Year’s Day.
After such a long period of oppression, everyone finally gained some confidence back and was extremely excited.
Lu Jiahao couldn’t refrain from walking up there. He looked over the complicated positioning of the Go board and the way he looked at Ye Fan was no longer so collected. However, it wasn’t too cautious either.
“You guys only won against one person and you are this happy? I see that you guys are very easily satisfied. Dong Rui, come here.”
Dong Rui then walked to Zhang Liang’s seat.
Everyone below was still very happy and didn’t care for Lu Jiahao’s taunting.
Over the course of the match between Ye Fan and Dong Rui, everyone watched even more closely. Despite their empty stomachs, they didn’t dare to leave.
Those who couldn’t endure anymore got delivery.
This was because Ye Fan won the first round, and it was because he was the winner of the competition last year.
Everyone was hopeful that he would beat all three and win beautifully. Therefore, their expectation was high as well.
But after two hours, what ended up happening was Dong Rui saying to Ye Fan, “You lost. But you are a genius. If you get into UCC, you can join our club.”
“...”
Nobody wanted this compliment, everyone just wanted victory!
The compliment they were getting right now equaled humiliation!
At the same time, an old man who was watching the live stream before his TV was smashing his bowls and hissing in anger.
The butler, who just came in, quickly picked up the dining utensils and calmed down the old man like he was humoring a child, “Master Ye, what’s wrong?”
Ye Hong patted his chest and inhaled deeply, “That bastard has lost all my face! It doesn’t matter to me if he loses to Qingqing, but to lose to those two sons of b!tches is utter humiliation!”
The butler eyed the TV and pouted, “Master Ye, you are far too harsh on the young master. He’s more a teenager than an adult. Of course, he has some ways to go when playing against those well-oiled machines from the Capital City Go Club!”
