Ye Hong grabbed onto a cushion, “I don’t care! I need to cut him off as my grandson first! The next three days will be the most humiliating days ever!”
The butler, “...”

At the competition, after Ye Fan’s loss, the entire place had a depressing and silent atmosphere. It felt as if everyone in the City of Brisk had fallen into hopelessness.
Lu Jiahao had just eaten his lunch. He rubbed his belly. Then he peered down onto the dumbfounded looking crowd and couldn’t help but to laugh uncontrollably.
“The youth of Go in the City of Brisk? He’s just so-so. People claim he was the one who figured out the Exquisite Unrivalled positioning? What a joke! If he’s a Go God, what does that make us?”
Then, he stretched. “You’ve invited out the best bet from your city. You shouldn’t have anything left. If there’s nothing else, then we will be on our way. Our time is precious.”
“Oh, right, I almost forgot one thing. From now on, you guys should stop calling yourselves the hometown of Go. I feel embarrassed for you.”
“An entire city’s worth of talents combined is not good enough for me to step out. What’s the point of hanging the sign ‘City of Go’?”
Everyone below had a furious look on their face. However, none of them could speak out against this guy. After all, it was true that their Go team had completely lost.
Everyone knew that if these three guys left here today like this, then the story of how the City of Brisk humiliated itself by losing Go will get on the news. Everyone will find out about it.
When that happens, this city will become the laughing stock of the nation.
But, it was true that even if they don’t let these guys go, they could not get anyone else here who was more capable than Ye Fan.
They thought of Master Ye, but then they shook their heads.
Master Ye would never come to a place like this.
Even if he did come here, it would end up being one Go legend playing against three students who hadn’t even entered society. Even if he wins, it would not be glorious.
Just as everyone here felt stuck, there was the sound of a heavy book hitting the table.
The sound wasn’t exactly loud. But since the entire room was utterly silent, it sounded very crisp and clear.
Luo Chen watched Qiao Qing stand up from her seat. Curiously, he asked, “Qingqing, where are you going? Going to the bathroom?”
Qiao Qing’s gaze glanced over the three people coldly. Her cherry lips quivered, “I’m going to teach them how to be a decent human being.”
“Who???” Luo Chen had a look of confusion. He followed her gaze, looked over, and realized what she meant. A wave of shock pulsed through his mind.
“Qingqing, sit down! Don’t cause trouble. I know you want to protect your hometown, but it’s not the time to play the hero. You don’t know Go. If you go, it won’t be of any use and you’ll be laughed at! Did you forget how Qiao Nian was humiliated just now?”
Qiao Qing glared at him, “Did I ever tell you I don’t know Go?”
“No,” Luo Chen said, “But you never said you knew how. You also acted like you don’t know.”
Qiao Qing, “...”
Xu Ningning shouted, “Enough! You want to show off no matter where you go. Don’t you realize what kind of setting we are in? Even Ye Fan lost against them. What’s the point of you going up there? You want them to see us as a joke again?”
“Exactly. To have this go this far is humiliating enough. At least we can say we won one for our last game. There are three of them, and one incapable you. If you go up there, you will humiliate yourself and they’ll think even less of us.”
“I know her. She’s from central high school. Didn’t she place first last time? Just because of that placement, she forgets her root and thinks she can win a Go competition with luck?”
“She sure can talk. I have never seen her name on any of the rankings from the previous Go competitions. I don’t believe for a second that she can win against someone Ye Fan couldn’t!”
Even the city authority figure announced from up there, “The competition ends here today!”
Right after he spoke, Ye Fan’s voice arose from the stage, “Please, believe in her.”
