Xia Wanyuan had only taken a look at the beginning before understanding the style of their chess. She did not even need to look to guess how the next two people would play.
In her previous life, she was proficient in all four arts. A chess saint had personally taught her chess skills.
Before the Go Saint taught her chess skills, he told her, “When you see the first three, you have to deduce the last three.”
It meant that when a person’s chess skills reached a certain level, they could deduce their entire line of thought from the first three stones their opponent had dropped, and then know where their last three stones would land.
This was also the condition her master had set for her to finish her apprenticeship, and Xia Wanyuan had finished her apprenticeship very smoothly.
Xia Wanyuan was not flustered at all by the Old Madam’s sudden call. She stepped forward, picked up a white piece, and placed it in the middle of the chessboard.
“Isn’t this destroying your foundation?” Wei Zimu leaned forward. Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s actions, he broke out in a cold sweat for her. Xia Wanyuan’s next move was even more unexpected. She directly struck the yellow dragon and landed the white piece in the circle surrounded by the black stones.
It seemed that their foundation had been greatly damaged and they could not retreat, but Old Madam Wei and the gray-haired old man’s eyes lit up.
“The young lady is young, but it’s rare for her to have the courage to take drastic measures. She fought to survive on the verge of death. This game of dead chess has been revived by you.”
There was a rare look of approval on Old Madam Wei’s wrinkled face.
“Jiarong, why haven’t I seen this little girl before? Is she a junior from the Wei family?”
“This is Ah Shu’s child. Her name is Xia Wanyuan.” Old Madam Wei slowly introduced. “Lass, call Uncle Ji.”
“Hello.” Xia Wanyuan was not related to this person, so she could not call him uncle, so she smiled at the old man beside her.
Old Madam Wei’s eyes turned cold. She glanced at Xia Wanyuan but did not speak.
“Uncle Ji, Grandma, Sister Wanyuan has just arrived and isn’t familiar with the environment. Let me take her out for a walk first.” Wei Zimu stood up.
“Bring her to the exhibition room.” The Old Madam waved her hand, and Wei Zimu left with Xia Wanyuan.
“Sister Wanyuan, the exhibition room is displaying all the industrial models of our Wei family. It looks like Grandma thinks highly of you.” Wei Zimu pushed open the door and led Xia Wanyuan into the exhibition room.
Xia Wanyuan had come to understand the Wei family. Now that there was such detailed information in front of her, Xia Wanyuan looked at it seriously.
Wei Zimu accompanied her quietly. Whenever Xia Wanyuan encountered something she did not understand, he would explain.
“Watch me first. I’ll get you a glass of water.”
“Okay, thank you.” The more Xia Wanyuan looked at it, the more she felt that the Wei family was powerful. No wonder they were a large family that could last for hundreds of years. Their foundation was very deep.
Xia Wanyuan had learned a lot from the Wei family’s detailed exhibition hall. She had a few good ideas about the Moon Bay project, and her eyes were filled with smiles.
“Sister Wanyuan, have some water.” Wei Zimu walked over with a glass of water.
Xia Wanyuan turned her head. The sunlight outside the window shone on her. Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, which were as clear as ice, seemed to be filled with broken sunlight, shining.
Wei Zimu’s eyes froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment. It was so fast that even Xia Wanyuan did not notice it.
“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan took the water and habitually put it aside.
