Playing Go with Ten Thousand Pines Daoist. "An immortal's Go game truly is extraordinary," Si Lingxi said lightly.
Ten Thousand Pines Daoist looked at Si Lingxi, then at Lu Zheng, and smiled. "If Red Pine Child knew there was someone like Little Friend Lu in the mortal world, his true spirit might well descend to meet him."
Ten Thousand Pines Daoist knew Si Lingxi's skill at Go. He had previously been only a notch better than her, yet despite having improved so much, he was still only a notch better than her now.
Clearly, the root of Si Lingxi's improvement lay with Lu Zheng.
"I dare not accept such praise, I dare not," Lu Zheng said, repeatedly waving his hands in modesty.
"You deserve it." Si Lingxi smiled, then helped Lu Zheng into her seat. "Even if Red Pine Child descended to the mortal world, he might not be a match for Lu Lang."
Ten Thousand Pines Daoist could not help laughing, though he had to admit that Lu Zheng's skill at Go had advanced at a terrifying pace, as though there were no end to it.
"Little Friend, please!"
Lu Zheng did not stand on ceremony and took White, moving first.
Facing Ten Thousand Pines Daoist, Lu Zheng did not dare hold back on the board. If he let up even slightly, he might truly let his opponent slip through.
Si Lingxi watched in silence. When Song Kaichuan looked at the board again, he discovered that this game was vastly different from the previous one.
The black stones were like a dragon, coiled into a mass, still balanced between attack and defense, needles hidden in cotton.
The white stones were like a tiger. Their overall bearing seemed identical to the style Si Lingxi had used in the previous game,
