The moment Xuanzhu said that, Zen Master Wuxu and Zhao Wanfu looked at Lin Xuan in utter shock.
"Is the Venerable also a Chess Sage?"
"Young Master is actually a Chess Sage?"
They knew that although Xuanzhu was young, she would never speak carelessly. Since the little girl had said so, Lin Xuan must indeed bear the title of Chess Sage.
It was just that neither of them had ever imagined that Lin Xuan possessed such attainments in the Dao of chess as well.
But on second thought, Zen Master Wuxu realized that Lin Xuan was the supreme figure in the world's Buddhist Dao and possessed boundless wisdom. If he wished to study the Dao of chess, becoming a Chess Sage of his generation would be nothing strange.
As for Zhao Wanfu, who had watched Lin Xuan grow up, the astonishment and shock in his heart refused to settle for a long while.
He remembered clearly that, at the family head's request, Lin Xuan had indeed studied Go when he was young. But he had studied for less than a year before quitting, and Zhao Wanfu had never seen him touch a Go board afterward. How had he suddenly become a Chess Sage?
"Could it be that Young Master was a peerlessly gifted person, possessed of extraordinary talent in the Dao of chess since childhood, and that was why he had been unwilling to study it—because it would have been a waste of time for him?"
The more Zhao Wanfu thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
It was like Lin Xuan suddenly possessing invincible cultivation. Zhao Wanfu felt that Lin Xuan had probably possessed a talent for cultivation since childhood, which was why he had refused to follow the beaten path or seek masters and study under them
