Chapter 55 Suspicion

  Today is Valentine's Day, and Shengyi will update tonight, so please give your support. At the same time, I wish all friends a Happy Valentine's Day, may those who have it be forever happy, and those who don't find it immediately.

  For Wén Tāo, Go has a greater role in cultivating his mental state and willpower than it does as an interest. Of course, he also likes it very much; otherwise, he wouldn't have reached this level. It's just that he doesn't intend to continue developing in this area unless there is someone of the caliber of Kǒng Jié or even stronger, which would spark Wén Tāo's interest.

  If I were to compare now, Wentai would rather compare fists and feet, just having a breakthrough. Moreover, the degree of this breakthrough is very large, really want to find some powerful opponents to try it out.

  Even if it's just a repair, Wentai believes that at this time, if he were to face a Jindan-stage cultivator again, he shouldn't be so humiliated. Although his current body can't compete with the flying sword in a head-on battle, relying on speed and taking the initiative would allow him to take down Jindan-stage cultivators without giving them a chance to attack him, which is also normal.

  In the worst case, he could still take out a few top-grade magic treasures and use them as ordinary swords to block the flying swords of the Golden Elixir stage. As long as he could get close to his opponents, they would be dead for sure. The only problem left now was the issue of self-destruction.

  If I could control the power of the last counter-shock within myself or figure it out, that would be great.

  "Never mind, for me playing chess is just a hobby, and you are a professional player, I am an amateur, really playing I am definitely not your opponent." Wentai never did unnecessary show-off, this kind of superficial weakness he didn't mind. If even this point of heart and lungs were not there, what's the point of mixing, everything has to be shown that oneself is the strongest person, itself already failed.

  Moreover, Wen Tao also had a deliberate control, because at this time the little Ling Xuan's chess strength was extremely strong. If she matured a bit more, she could quickly reach the level of a professional 5-dan or so. It was quite difficult to control her even if one didn't use any real skills.

  Xiao Lingxuan has recently been studying in the Chess Society to find hidden super masters, Hu Kaitu also told Wentai about it, but Wentai is now interested in the clinic, so he directly showed weakness.

  But unexpectedly, after he said this, Xiao Lingxuan didn't feel happy at all. She had originally sat down and picked up the chess piece, but "clack..." she heavily put it back down.

  "I know your chess skills are better than mine, but do you have to be so... humiliating? Playing chess is about winning or losing, if you don't want to play just say so, why make such a cold remark." This time Xiaoling was really angry, in her opinion, this remark was an insult to her.

  It's bad, looking at her appearance, Wentao knew that he really didn't understand this little Lingxuan very well. If it were an ordinary girl of this age with a strong sense of vanity, even if she didn't truly acknowledge it, she would still secretly be delighted. But unexpectedly, Lingxuan actually reacted like this.

  This kind of character, Wen Tao really appreciates it. He puts away his joking attitude: "Sorry, because Go is just a hobby for me, what I said earlier was indeed a polite phrase, of course, you don't have to think too much about it, there's no other humiliating meaning, it's just a polite phrase."

  Speak to whom and say what words, since she is straightforward and innocent, so Wen Tao also directly says as is.

  It was clear that Ling Xuan was also somewhat unexpected, Wen Tao would say such words. Originally, the anger had dissipated more than half. This clearly told himself that it was a polite phrase, and Ling Xuan suddenly didn't know what to say next. He wanted to get angry but there was no longer any anger left.

  Wen Tao looked at the chessboard and felt a bit awkward. If he suggested playing another game now, it would be even more embarrassing.

  Fortunately, Hu Kai bamboo pushed the door and came in, seeing Wen Tao with a happy face: "Just now your aunt called me and said that no one in the family had returned for dinner, this meal will be trained by me!!!"

  The aunt's husband came in and broke the awkwardness. Wentao smiled and said, "My aunt is worried that you are too busy and exhausted your body."

  When it comes to the gods, Hu Kai's face is even more full of smiles. After taking Wen Tao's medicine, he seems to have become younger by several years. The troubles that had been plaguing him for a long time all disappeared. Even his energy improved a lot. At his age, plus being busy, he rarely got close to Ma Yuzhen anymore. As an old couple, they didn't have much anyway.

  But recently, although work is still busy, energy is abundant, and occasionally returning to be close to Ma Yuzhen again, the husband and wife's feelings are even more intimate.

  "Wentao, the medicine you prescribed last time was really effective. Some of my previous minor ailments have all been cured now. Your aunt even told me to ask you to take another look and prescribe a few more doses!!!"

  "You're already in good physical condition now, so from now on, strengthen your exercise and reasonably control your rest and work time. After all, medicine is just an auxiliary role. For the time being, you don't need to take any more medication, wait for about a month or so, and then take another dose.

  Nowadays people are taking medicine as if it's food, unaware that medicine is only auxiliary."

  Now Hu Kai Zhu is absolutely convinced of Wen Tao in this regard, he says what to do and what to do.

  "Lingxuan, didn't you say several times that I should find Wentao to play chess with you? Have you started playing yet? If not, let's go to the single room upstairs to play." Hu Kai Zhu looked at Lingxuan and said: "The upstairs has just been renovated, neither of you have seen it before, let's go take a look together."

  The conversation between the two of them just now, thinking about it again at this moment, feels very awkward.

  Ling Xuan said: "Uncle Hu, let's stop for today, I have something to attend to and need to head back home, we'll continue another day!"

  "That's okay, we're all family, it's fine anytime." Hu Kai Zhu didn't know what had happened and didn't think much of it, pulling Wen Tao to go take a look at the newly renovated place. Ling Xuan also followed them out, suddenly feeling a bit bored and wanting to sneak out for some fresh air.

  It's been a long time since I've had this feeling. She has liked Go since she was a child and usually stays in the Go club, but today she feels like going out for a walk.

  Hu Kaitu and Lingxuan didn't have much to hide from each other, Lingxuan was more familiar with this place than him, and spent more time here every day. Hu Kaitu pulled Wentao to walk in front, while Lingxuan followed behind.

  Looking at Wentao's back, Lingxuan was somewhat puzzled as to why Grandfather had such a high opinion of him. Moreover, it wasn't until that day that Grandfather even knew he could play chess, and even if he played better than himself, after all, his age was still there, so it didn't count for much.

  Moreover, he is just an amateur, but Grandpa's evaluation of him is so high, it's strange.

  How could Ling Xuan know that someone like Wang Lao would not respect a young lifesaver who is so steady and talented? Even if after playing chess, Ling Xuan said something bad about Wen Tao, she would be scolded by Old Man Wang, and without any reason, Ling Xuan asked Old Man Wang but he didn't tell her.

  In this regard, Wang Lao Ye Zi was right about Wen Tao's secrecy at that time.

  "Your aunt has said it, you're our lucky star since you came to Shanghai. My husband's luck started changing for the better from the day you arrived. He was in a tight spot with Kong Jie, but suddenly things took a turn for the better that day. Now it's even better, they've become partners and my health has improved too - no major illnesses, just some minor ones that were driving me crazy! But now I'm all good, your aunt praises you every day..." Hu Kai Zhu pulled along Wen Tao in front of her, happily sharing her inner thoughts.

  Speaking carelessly, listening carefully, Ling Xuan who was walking behind suddenly stopped in a daze, as if she had caught onto something.

  Wen Tao arrived when Grandpa and Kong Jie had their first change, as soon as he came the situation changed, he came and that so-called invisible master appeared. Also, Grandpa is so respectful to him, not even letting himself complain about him once, it's too abnormal.

  That invisible mastermind only made a move twice, both times to help Grandpa, and even Uncle Hu didn't know who it was. Is there really such a coincidence, or...

  Could it be... him?
