After all, they had all heard of Han Yuwen’s chess skills, but not much was known about Su Yingxue’s.
Qin Muyan had only witnessed her medical skills, unaware of her prowess in chess. Given her martial family background, her chess skills were not expected to be outstanding.
Chu Yihan also displayed a hint of concern, but as he surveyed the chessboard, his expression soon relaxed.
Su Yingxue held a white piece and made the first move. Her placement of each piece was rapid. Initially, Han Yuwen thought she was playing unpredictably, but after ten consecutive moves without a sensible position, she sneered, letting her guard down.
Soon after, Su Yingxue had set up a strategic layout. All of Su Yingxue’s bold moves fell into her planned trap. Han Yuwen’s smug smile appeared premature. “Su Yingxue, it seems you’re about to lose your face.”
“Princess, don’t celebrate too early.”
Su Yingxue focused on the chessboard and grabbed a handful of chess pieces in her hand. She placed them one after another as if she did not need to think at all.
Observing this, Han Yuwen no longer considered Su Yingxue a serious opponent. Once the game was set up, she intended to dismantle Su Yingxue’s strategy.
However, Su Yingxue had already secured the crucial position where Han Yuwen intended to finish the game.
“Su Yingxue, you…” Han Yuwen gritted her teeth. Su Yingxue seemed chaotic, but after Han Yuwen relaxed her guard, she deliberately obstructed her path!
Su Yingxue tilted her head and smiled innocently. “Princess, I’m done. It’s your turn.”
Su Yingxue placed two consecutive pieces, seizing the position Han Yuwen had initially intended for. This not only disrupted Han Yuwen’s entire plan but also swiftly turned the tables, transforming her previous advantage into a sudden disadvantage.
Han Yuwen urgently repaired her vulnerabilities, but she knew it was too late. She could only try to delay. After an hour, the chessboard was nearly filled.
“Su Yingxue, you’ve lost,” Han Yuwen said as the chessboard was almost full.
“I haven’t,” Su Yingxue immediately placed a white chess. She then scattered the black chess in her hand and smiled faintly. “Princess and I each captured 16 pieces. Now that the board isn’t full, continuing is not impossible.”
“There’s no need to continue. It’s a draw!”
Han Yuwen waved her hand, scattering the chess pieces. The original path had been disrupted.
“Is the Eldest Princess reneging? If this continues, Su Yingxue will have a chance to win. In that case, you, Eldest Princess, will be the one to lose.” Qin Muyan was directly accused.
“Since the Scarlet Flame King understands chess so well, why not spar with me again?” Han Yuwen gritted her teeth, a hint of hatred in her eyes.
“You don’t need to threaten me. If you want to play, play. Does the princess think I’m afraid?” Qin Muyan was about to make a move on the chessboard.
Chu Yihan pulled Su Yingxue up, looking at Han Yuwen coldly. “The outcome is clear. She has defeated you.”
“She hasn’t! This chessboard wasn’t full, and 1 destroyed it first. What right does she have to claim victory? No one can beat me!”
Han Yuwen was so angry that she overturned the entire chessboard. The jade chess pieces clinked as they scattered across the ground.
Su Yingxue felt a bit sorry for the chess pieces, but if her opponent was not convinced…
“Princess, since you acknowledge your shortcomings, then admit defeat!” Su Yingxue crossed her arms, a sharp glint flashing in her slightly narrowed eyes..
