The City's Strongest Son-in-law-Chapter 165 Gu Changsheng Becomes a Disciple
Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Gu Changsheng Becomes a Disciple
What on earth is going on? Li Wen was actually expelled from his master’s tutelage by Liu Chen?
Without this connection, doesn’t the Li Family have no standing in Hai City?
"Take Li Wen and get out immediately. From now on, no one from the Li Family should appear in front of me, or else, face the consequences!" Gu Changsheng said coldly.
Li Wen was dumbfounded. In a chess game, they say one wrong move and the whole game is lost. Only now did Li Wen realize what he had done.
He originally intended to win Liu Chen’s favor, but now he’s been cast out of the school.
After his family dragged Li Wen out of the room, Liu Chen sighed and said to Su Changfeng, "Shall we have another game?"
He knew he might lose, but Liu Chen didn’t want to lose his character.
"Grandpa Liu, you’re not in the best condition now. If we start another game, it wouldn’t be fair. I suggest waiting until you’re feeling better, and I promise I’ll come to visit you then," Su Changfeng said.
Liu Chen realized Su Changfeng was giving him a way out. If he insisted further, he’d surely embarrass himself.
"Gu Changsheng, you old man, you’re really lucky—able to make an acquaintance with this young friend," Liu Chen sighed.
Gu Changsheng said proudly, "Isn’t that right? The people I, Gu Changsheng, take a liking to, are no ordinary folks."
"Young friend, once we get the chance, let’s have another game," Liu Chen said to Su Changfeng.
"I’m looking forward to it," Su Changfeng replied.
Liu Chen turned and left first, but Zhao Wen was still standing there dumbfounded. Seeing Zhao Wen not moving, Liu Chen said, "Why are you standing there like a fool?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wen reluctantly followed Liu Chen’s steps out.
Once out of the room, Zhao Wen pouted and said coyly, "Master, I don’t even know his name. Why were you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Little girl, didn’t you notice? That man is the Gu family’s predetermined grandson-in-law. What do you have to compete with Gu Qing’er?" Liu Chen said with a bitter smile.
Zhao Wen pouted further, a little unconvinced, and said, "We haven’t even tried yet. Why do you think I can’t compete with her? Even though Gu Qing’er is the Gu Family’s cherished jewel, that doesn’t mean she’s more charming than I am."
"You, you really don’t know when to give up." Liu Chen said helplessly.
Zhao Wen’s expression suddenly turned serious, "Master, if that game had continued, you..."
Liu Chen took a deep breath and said, "I would definitely lose."
Definitely lose?
This statement left Zhao Wen in disbelief.
Inside the room, Gu Changsheng kept observing Su Changfeng, finding him more and more likable. He was the best choice for his granddaughter’s husband, unfortunately, such a great person ended up joining the Tang Family.
Gu Changsheng’s gaze made Su Changfeng’s hair stand on end, and he quickly said, "Why are you looking at me like that? You’re at such an age; don’t tell me you have some peculiar hobbies?"
"You scoundrel, what nonsense are you spouting? I’m not that kind of person!" Gu Changsheng glared at Su Changfeng.
"Wait a second, can you show some respect to your master? Is this the attitude you use when speaking to your master?" Su Changfeng, hands on hips, looked at Gu Changsheng proudly. He remembered acknowledging him as his master.
Gu Changsheng froze, his old face reddened, and he said nothing.
"Old man, as the head of the Gu Family, and the number one figure in Hai City, would you go back on your word? Want to know what the saliva on the ground tastes like?" Su Changfeng said with a smile.
Gu Changsheng’s expression was remarkable, his facial features nearly twisted together.
"I’m already so old, do you want the old man to hold a master acceptance ceremony for you?" Gu Changsheng said unhappily.
"That’s unnecessary, but remember, it’s enough for you to acknowledge I’m your master," Su Changfeng replied. A formal ceremony was something Su Changfeng wouldn’t insist on, and besides, Gu Changsheng was a senior, and Su Changfeng wouldn’t want to bring trouble upon himself.
"You clever rascal, calling you master is no big deal, but you have to promise the old man one thing," Gu Changsheng said.
"Good disciple, don’t you have any shame? Have you ever seen a disciple demand something from their master?" Su Cang said with a face of mixed amusement and resignation.
Su Changfeng was the first in Hai City to talk to Gu Changsheng like this without angering him.
"You can boast for a few days, but when I catch you on something, let’s see how I deal with you," Gu Changsheng threatened.
At that moment, Gu Qing’er came running in. If her father hadn’t insisted she go greet the guests, she wouldn’t have missed Su Changfeng’s match with Liu Chen.
"How did it go? Did you win? I noticed Grandpa Liu’s face wasn’t so good when he left," Gu Qing’er asked eagerly as soon as she came in, looking at Su Changfeng.
"I didn’t win, but I didn’t lose either," Su Changfeng said.
"Was it a draw? Even that is quite impressive. After all, Grandpa Liu is a grandmaster level figure in the realm of Go here in Hai City. I didn’t expect you to hold your own against him," Gu Qing’er said with a smile.
"That grandmaster had already been surpassed by Su Changfeng," Gu Changsheng said with a laugh, though it had nothing to do with him, he felt particularly thrilled inside.
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Qing’er asked Gu Changsheng, puzzled.
"If it weren’t for Li Wen deliberately ruining the game, your Grandpa Liu would have definitely lost," Gu Changsheng replied, pointing at the scattered chess pieces on the ground.
Gu Qing’er’s eyes widened instantly, looking at Su Changfeng with a look of disbelief.
She initially thought it would be alright if Su Changfeng didn’t lose too badly, and when she saw the look on Liu Chen’s face when he left, she assumed Su Changfeng had already shown Liu Chen he was not to be underestimated. However, she never imagined Su Changfeng had actually defeated Liu Chen.
Liu Chen is the chairman of the Hai City Go Association and the best Go player in all of Hai City!
"Is this... true?" Gu Qing’er asked, still in disbelief.
"You brat, too much humility amounts to hypocrisy," Gu Changsheng laughed.
Su Changfeng shrugged helplessly, "Even if you gave Grandpa Liu ten more chances, he still couldn’t win. Is that not humble enough?"
Gu Changsheng found it both amusing and exasperating. If Liu Chen heard those words, it would probably be quite a blow to him.
Right now, Gu Qing’er looked at Su Changfeng almost like an idol, with her eyes full of admiration. Her heart fluttered thinking about his excellent piano playing and skillful talents. It seemed there was nothing he couldn’t do.
In Gu Qing’er’s eyes, Su Changfeng was nearly perfect, with only one flaw—that Su Changfeng was already married.
