"We are in charge of judging the game of chess. The game of chess is simple. Arrange a sequence, play against each other, and we will recommend the winner!"
These were the original words of the Chess Sage. They would recommend the winner according to their discretion.
In other words, only the winner would be chosen. Back then, how could the Chess Sages have imagined that Gu Hai's chess skills would be so shocking that he could only get first place?
This was akin to slapping their own faces.
Everyone looked up at the Sages. Only Gu Hai turned his head and stared at Wu Yazi.
Wu Yazi?
Was he really possessed by Old Man Guanqi?
Some people already thought so, but Gu Hai didn't make that decision. The game just now had been too strange. Thirty-one? It was all thirty-one. There was no thirty-two at all. His last move was stunning, but it was still thirty-one.
Gu Hai was silent for a while. Then, he took a deep breath and bowed slightly to Wu Yazi.
No matter what, the thirty-one had benefited him greatly.
Wu Yazi was stunned when he saw Gu Hai bow slightly. He immediately bowed back to Gu Hai.
The Heavenly Yin City below was silent. The Saints of the Heavenly Sky felt awkward.
"First place? How could Gu Hai be first? "
"Wasn't Wu Yazi doing pretty well?"
"Didn't you say that his chess style was like Old Man Guanqi's? How could Old Man Guanqi lose? "
… … …
… … …
… …
The Sages of the Painting Path and the Zither Path were in an uproar.
The Sage of the Way of Chess looked solemn for quite a while. This was because they knew that Gu Hai's Go skills far surpassed their expectations.
But now, how could they recommend him?
According to what they had said, they would recommend the winner according to their discretion. The winner was Gu Hai.
They had also promised the Painting Path and Zither Path Sages that they would not recommend Gu Hai. This left the Chess Sages in a dilemma.
"The Sage of the Way of Chess, please recommend the champion of the chess tournament!" Jiu Gongzi shouted at the sky again.
The Chess Sages were silent.
"Hurry up!"
"The Sage of Chess is so slow!"
"Going back on your word?"
"Are you a Saint? Can't you afford to lose?"
…
…
…
Immediately, many people began to cry out. This group of saints was too much. Were they going back on their word? Now that Gu Hai had won, it was a recommendation.
For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar again. The authority of the Sages was facing the greatest challenge. Of course, perhaps because of the previous two times, the Sages no longer had any authority in the hearts of the people. Now, only the bottom line and moral integrity were left.
The urging voices soared into the sky, and the Sages all felt conflicted.
"Do not submit to Gu Hai!"
"We can't let him get away with it!"
…
…
…
The Saints of the Path of Painting and the Path of Chess called out anxiously.
The clamor in the surroundings made the Go Sages feel conflicted.
"Since all the Sages are silent, does that mean that you have agreed to Gu Hai's existence?" The Ninth Young Master shouted.
The Go Sages were still silent.
The Ninth Young Master shouted again, "Does that mean that you have agreed to Gu Hai's existence?"
"Oh no, it's this trick again. Ten times. He said that he would help you deal with the recommendation talisman after ten times. Hurry up!"
"You want to do it again? Don't even think about it!"
"Go Sages, hurry up! Gu Hai is in cahoots with the abbot again. He's going to set us up. Hurry up!"
…
…
…
The Sages were all agitated.
The Ninth Young Master was speechless.
He didn't mean that at all. Have these Sages become frightened birds? Their attitude of "I've seen through you" made the Ninth Young Master speechless for a while.
It was the Go Sages who said to recommend the winner. That was why he asked.
All of a sudden, a Sage said, "Dear heavens, I recommend Wu Yazi!"
Boom!
All of a sudden, a recommendation talisman appeared above the sea of providence clouds, and a beam of white light shot down.
"Sage! How can you go back on your word? "The Ninth Young Master glared at him.
"Sages are shameless indeed!"
"He said to recommend the winner. Why is it Wu Yazi now?"
"He's picking on Mr. Goode on purpose. What a jerk!"
…
…
…
All of a sudden, the people all around began to criticize him.
In Dongfang, a group of angels sneered.
"You offended a Sage, and now you want a Sage to recommend you? You used tricks twice before. Do you think you can fool a Sage now? "A six-winged angel sneered.
In the South.
A disciple of the Taishang sect sneered, "Haha, Gu Hai has embarrassed Elder Xuanen. Serves him right!"
In the West.
"Gu Hai is at his wit's end this time!" A group of Bodhisattvas laughed.
"Shameless!" Mu Chenfeng cursed at the sky.
Mo Yike and Binghime both frowned.
In the sky, the Sage who recommended Wu Yazi said, "We said that we would recommend the winner based on discretion. However, that is only discretion, not certainty. Furthermore, the victor in my heart isn't the one who won first place. The victor in my heart is a type of bearing. Wu Yazi didn't panic in the face of danger. He didn't even finish his game before throwing in a stone and admitting defeat. That is the bearing of a gentleman, the bearing of a chess master. He is the victor! "
All of the people were speechless.
All of the chess players were speechless.
"…!" Gu Hai was speechless.
The Ninth Young Master was speechless.
How could anyone have imagined that a Sage could be so shameless?
Bearing of a gentleman? Bearing of a humble attitude? How could he have the face to say that? In chess, it's either you die or I die. What is there to be humble about?
According to what you said, chess players should stop playing chess. Just admit defeat.
The Sage of Chess finished speaking.
Immediately, the group of chess Sages agreed.
"I also recommend Wu Yazi. In my heart, he is the winner!"
"I also recommend Wu Yazi. He is the winner, and he deserves it!"
"I recommend Wu Yazi!"
…
…
…
When it comes to cheating, Gu Hai is still too inexperienced. We are the judges. We don't care about face anymore. Even if Gu Hai has the means to reverse the situation, it will be useless.
The Sage of Calligraphy wanted to stop him, but the Sages of Painting and Qin cheered, "The Sage of Chess is wise!"
They had had enough of the two times they had been annoyed. As long as they could get back at Gu Hai, what else did they care? How many of them would still be able to participate in the Sage Conference after a thousand years?
For a moment, the Sages of Painting and Qin cheered for the Sage of Chess' shamelessness.
The Sages of Chess gradually let go.
"I recommend Wu Yazi!" "I recommend Wu Yazi!"
Finally, all five hundred Sages of Chess recommended Wu Yazi. Five hundred Recommendation Talismans appeared in the sky and shone down like searchlights, enveloping Wu Yazi.
For a moment, Gu Hai and Wu Yazi were the focus of attention.
Just like that, Wu Yazi was the loser and received five hundred Recommendation Talismans.
"Hahahahaha, Gu Hai, can you still get those Recommendation Talismans?" A Sage of Painting Path said with great satisfaction.
"Hahaha, now, even if you have the means to reverse the situation, it will be useless. Gu Hai, hmph. You can't get the five hundred Recommendation Talismans, but from now on, you can forget about getting a single one!" The Qin Sage laughed.
The Sages of Painting Path laughed with great satisfaction.
The Sages of Painting Path looked at Gu Hai with smiles. It was as if they were mocking him and taking revenge.
Just as the Sages were feeling smug …
Wu Yazi suddenly bowed to the Ninth Young Master.
Wu Yazi shouted, "Sir, Wu Yazi is ashamed that his Chess skills are inferior to Mr. Goode's. I am ashamed to receive this Recommendation Talisman and cannot accept it. Today, Sir, please give my five hundred Recommendation Talismans to Gu Hai to restore the might of the Chess Dao!"
"Gah!"
The Sages who were laughing in the sky suddenly stopped talking.
"What? What did I just hear? "The Qin Sage exclaimed.
"Wu Yazi said, 'Sir, please give all of his Recommendation Talismans to Gu Hai!'" a Sage exclaimed.
"Give all of them to Gu Hai?"
"Doesn't that mean everything we did before was for naught?"
"We gave all of our Recommendation Talismans to Wu Yazi, but he gave all of them to Gu Hai?"
…
…
…
The Sages were dumbfounded.
The Ninth Young Master suddenly shouted to the heavens, "Sir, I am the Presiding Elder. Wu Yazi, who received the Recommendation Talismans, is ashamed that he did not accept the Recommendation Talismans. He recommends Gu Hai and gives all of his Recommendation Talismans to Gu Hai.
"Rumble!"
The sea of providence clouds churned as if the heavens had accepted the Recommendation Talisman.
The five hundred Recommendation Talismans that were shining on Wu Yazi suddenly turned their light source and rushed toward Gu Hai.
"Boom!"
Gu Hai was instantly enveloped by the five hundred Recommendation Talismans.
The crowd fell silent for a while.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
…
…
…
In an instant, the five hundred million people of Heavenly Yin City burst into laughter. They seemed to be cheering for Gu Hai for obtaining the results he deserved, but they also seemed to be mocking the Sages.
You guys went through so much trouble, but in the end, didn't you just end up helping Mr. Goode?
The Sages were completely dumbfounded.
"B * stard, Guan Jiu, how dare you …!" the Sages of the Painting Path shouted in shock.
"You cheated! You cheated!" the Sage of the Guqin Path also shouted in shock.
The Ninth Young Master looked coldly at the sky. "Cheated? Ha, this is the rule of the Sage Assembly. Have you forgotten? The Recommendation Talismans can be transferred. Since Wu Yazi gave the Recommendation Talisman to him, he has the right to transfer it. You have no right to ask. Besides, this is a matter of the Chess Dao. It's none of your business! "
"Boom!"
The Sages of the Sky were furious again.
How could they have known that Wu Yazi would give up on the Recommendation Talismans? He gave all of them to Gu Hai?
Are you guys shameless?
Who's the shameless one?
At this moment, the hatred between the Sages and Gu Hai grew.
Five hundred Recommendation Talismans for the Painting Path, five hundred Recommendation Talismans for the Guqin Path, and five hundred Recommendation Talismans for the Chess Dao. They were all given to Gu Hai.
A thousand years ago, Old Man Guanqi had only gotten 1,200 Recommendation Talismans in the first round.
Now, Gu Hai had 1,500 Recommendation Talismans.
"Many thanks, Mr. Wu Yazi!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
Wu Yazi smiled bitterly. "I'm just returning the item to its rightful owner. You were able to play that game of Go, but that game … Ha … I wouldn't dare to be so thick-skinned as to take these Recommendation Talismans. Mr. Goode, a thousand years ago, Old Man Guanqi broke the rules of eternity and entered the Sacred Hall of the Arts. I hope you can do the same! "
"I'll do my best!" Gu Hai looked at Wu Yazi with a complicated expression.
The Sages of the Guqin Path, Painting Path, and Chess Path immediately warned the five hundred Sages of the Arts, "Calligraphy Sages, please be careful. Don't be fooled by Gu Hai again. Wu Yazi is definitely with Gu Hai. We've all been fooled. Be careful, be careful!"
"Don't worry!" the Calligraphy Sages replied.
