Chapter 154: Chapter 154 - Go 9-Dan Player

The president of the Go Association had a smile on his face as he started playing with Emily as well.

However, after a few moves, the president felt that the encirclement that he wanted to form against Emily had been broken by Emily. Emily’s counter-moves were incisive and decisive, causing the president to suddenly sit up straight.

“Hey, Fourth Brother, what’s the situation now? Is Millie preparing to challenge a 9-dan?” Shen Xu knocked on Shen Hao’s shoulder and asked in a low voice, afraid that his loud voice would disturb Emily.

“It’s fine. Millie just wants to play. It’s fine. The president won’t hold a grudge against a little girl. Let’s just watch.”

Although Shen Hao said that he was fine, his eyes were fixed on Emily. His tightly knitted brows had never relaxed.

Emily had originally wanted to play with this white-bearded grandpa, but she found that it was becoming more and more difficult for her to deal with. She had no choice but to focus her attention.

The president of the Go Association looked at Emily’s focused expression. The more he looked at her knitted brows, the cuter she looked. However, he didn’t intend to go easy on her at all. After all, he had seen the little girl’s performance at 6-dan earlier. Her Go skills weren’t that bad.

The president placed a stone. Emily instantly stopped the stone in her hand and stared at the Go board in front of her. She was very surprised to find that no matter which step her stone took, it would be surrounded by white stones. There was no use in continuing this stalemate.

Emily and the president had played for such a long time. She could easily block the president’s path, but she couldn’t break out of the encirclement. They continued to be in a stalemate. However, she wasn’t willing to give up. She had to think of a way to break the original rules. She had to divert the president’s attention.

Emily had placed the black Go piece in a position unrelated to the other Go pieces. In the end, she had even casually placed the black Go piece in the position she wanted to lose.

This had instead made the president puzzled. The president could not help but think. Emily had only persisted for such a short while, and she had already given up?

The president was still criticizing Emily in his heart for being impatient. When the president wanted to use the white chess piece to encircle her again, he was surprised to find that Emily had already formed an encirclement around him. No matter where he landed… Emily was able to block him and eat all of his white pieces.

The president put the white piece back into the basket and stroked his beard with a bright smile. “You’ve won. Congratulations.”

“What? The president was defeated by a little girl?”

“And a little girl who looks like she’s only five or six years old!”

“Oh my god, a professional Go 9-dan player! What a powerful existence! Moreover, she’s a child. Oh my god, this girl is so terrifying. She’s like a child prodigy.”

…

Shen Hao also looked at Emily in disbelief. Then, he reached out and pinched Shen Xu’s arm. Shen Xu let out a ‘ouch’ and glared at Shen Hao. “What are you doing? What’s wrong with you?”

“You know pain? Then it’s true. Millie is a 9-dan Go player! 9-dan Go player! What kind of concept is that? Millie is only seven years old now. A seven-year-old professional 9-dan Go player! Millie is simply a genius.”

Shen Hao seemed to have been possessed. His hands gripped Shen Xu’s shoulders tightly. He was extremely excited, as if he was talking to himself. However, his words were filled with pride.

Meanwhile, on the competition grounds, Emily did not seem to be affected by them. Instead, she looked at the white-bearded old man in front of her with great interest. “Grandpa, you’re so amazing. I almost lost.”

“Little girl, your name is Emily, right? On behalf of the National Go Association, I would like to invite you to join us.”

The white-bearded president sincerely invited Emily. If such a good seedling was properly nurtured, his future would definitely be limitless.

“Grandpa, do you want me to go with you?” Emily was a little puzzled. She still did not understand what an invitation was. She just felt that the white-bearded grandpa in front of her wanted to take her away, but she did not want to leave the Shen family. The Shen family was so good to her.

“Are you willing? You will learn more things after learning Go. Your Go skills will definitely be able to rise to a higher level. When that time comes, you can completely represent the country to go out and compete and win glory for the country.”

“No, I don’t want to go with you. I don’t want to leave Brother and Second Aunt.”

As Emily spoke, she began to cry. Shen Hao and Shen Xu looked at each other and rushed in. Shen Xu picked up Emily.

“President, I’m sorry. Millie is still a child. She doesn’t understand. Please don’t mind.”

Shen Hao quickly explained. Looking at Emily who was crying like a little girl, she kept saying, “I don’t want to leave the Shen family.” Shen Hao’s heart instantly ached.

“Forget it, forget it. Millie is still young after all. It’s just that the door of the Go Association will always be open to her. After that, I will get someone to award her the certificate. If she changes her mind in the future, she can come to the Go Association to look for me anytime.”
