164: Chapter 164: The Foolish Li Wen 164: Chapter 164: The Foolish Li Wen As they walked out of the banquet hall, Su Changfeng once again met with Gu Changsheng, with the Tang Family staring at him with fierce eyes.
In the same room, this time Liu Chen was not careless at all.
This match was about reclaiming his ground; he must defeat Su Changfeng to reestablish his position in the Hai City World of Go.
Even though few people knew about his lost match, it was a major blow to Liu Chen, because Su Changfeng was so young that Liu Chen thought Su Changfeng simply didn’t have the ability.
“This time my teacher is serious.
You should be careful; don’t blame me for not warning you,” Li Wen stood behind Liu Chen and said with a smile to Su Changfeng.
Su Changfeng nodded, his serious expression clearly immersed in the game.
The intersecting 38 lines, 361 positions to place stones, at the moment of playing, it was no longer just a board but a battlefield.
Li Wen didn’t watch the match because, in his eyes, the result was already clear, and the process didn’t matter.
But Gu Changsheng and Zhao Wen watched very seriously.
Gu Changsheng knew from Su Changfeng that he would definitely win against Liu Chen, so he wanted to see if Su Changfeng was truly strong or just boasting.
Although Zhao Wen didn’t believe Su Changfeng would win, she was very curious about Su Changfeng’s actual strength and if he could become her prince.
As the match progressed, Liu Chen’s expression became more solemn.
He was sure he was taking it very seriously, with a particularly correct attitude, but now he was still at a disadvantage on the board, and in the mid-game, he thought he had already lost.
Only a few top Go players could put such pressure on him during a match, and yet, this young man was only in his twenties.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Liu Chen hadn’t felt such pressure in a game for many years.
Even if he won, it would change his view on Su Changfeng.
Li Wen initially looked disdainful, but seeing Liu Chen’s increasingly unpleasant expression, he felt very unhappy.
Could this guy really beat Liu Chen?
After carefully observing the situation on the board, Liu Chen realized he was indeed at a disadvantage.
In the morning match, it could be said the master was careless, but in this match, the master was particularly serious.
If even so he lost, then the master’s reputation would be ruined by this person!
No way, Li Wen would not let this happen.
Li Wen gritted his teeth, approached Liu Chen, and pretended to care, “Teacher, if you’re tired, please take a break.”
Liu Chen shook his head, saying that losing in a game was fine, but losing his character was not acceptable.
Li Wen coldly looked at Su Changfeng, then withdrew a piece from the board, causing the stones to scatter on the ground, saying, “We’ll play again later.
The master is tired now.”
“Li Wen, what are you doing?” Gu Changsheng said angrily.
Liu Chen also stood up directly, looked angrily at Li Wen, and rebuked, “Li Wen, what are you doing?
I don’t mind losing, but do you want me to lose in terms of character as well?”
Liu Chen usually liked Li Wen because he was one of his most accomplished disciples, although his character wasn’t great.
However, in Liu Chen’s eyes, it wasn’t something that couldn’t be honed.
Li Wen was a good piece of material that, with some refinement, could become a great master.
But Liu Chen never expected Li Wen to do such a thing.
“Li Wen, is this how the elders in your family teach you?
If they can’t teach you respect, I wouldn’t mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of your elders!” Gu Changsheng was particularly upset.
This match was especially exciting; even though he was just watching from the sidelines, it was still very enjoyable.
Yet, before the game ended, someone disrupted it, just like finding a bug in your food while you’re enjoying a meal.
Li Wen’s expression changed immediately.
If the Li Family bore a grudge against them because of this, his mistake wasn’t just ruining the game but also ruining his family.
“Grandpa Gu, I’m truly sorry.
I acted impulsively seeing my master tired.
Please forgive me just this once,” Li Wen said quickly.
Gu Changsheng didn’t look at Li Wen.
He directly took out his phone.
At his age, he finally found something interesting, but Li Wen acted this way.
Would a mere apology really improve Gu Changsheng’s mood?
“Bring the Li Family members up immediately,” Gu Changsheng said into the phone.
Li Wen was so frightened by this statement that his legs turned to jelly, and he kneeled in front of Gu Changsheng, “Grandpa Gu, I know my mistake.
Please forgive me just this once.
It’s my fault, and I deserve to die.”
Zhao Wen originally respected Li Wen greatly, but now she couldn’t help but look at him with contempt.
Using such despicable methods to disrupt the game, did he really think it would save his master’s face?
“Master, I beg you, please help me,” Li Wen implored, seeing Gu Changsheng ignoring him, and knelt in front of Liu Chen.
After all, he was Liu Chen’s chief disciple, so Liu Chen should help him.
However, Liu Chen felt utterly embarrassed by Li Wen’s actions.
Losing was indeed hard to accept for Liu Chen, but he was not willing to use such shameless methods to avoid losing.
“Li Wen, at first, I thought your character was somewhat promising for improvement, but I couldn’t imagine you’d do such a thing!” Liu Chen said darkly.
Did this mean Liu Chen wasn’t going to save him?
Li Wen felt his heart nearly collapse.
In his eyes, he had only done a trivial thing, and yet this trivial action led to such consequences.
The Li Family members arrived shortly after, and seeing Li Wen kneeling on the ground, they knew things had gone wrong.
He had managed to upset the old man of the Gu Family!
Li Wen’s father walked up to him, slapped him twice, and scolded, “What have you done?
The Li Family’s status in Hai City was quite decent, a bit stronger than the Tang Family, but they were able to attend the banquet because Liu Chen valued Li Wen highly.
Normally, Li Wen held a high position in the family, and no one dared to talk loudly to him because how far the Li Family could go depended on Li Wen.
But now, he had offended Gu Changsheng, and Li Wen’s father dared not indulge him any further.
“Li Wen, from now on, I have no disciple like you,” Liu Chen said.
Li Wen’s father was suddenly stunned!
