Chapter 528 ying Chess


    "You''ve passed this round! Head on to the next one," Finn said after conceding visibly.


    The fact that even the sixth brother''s challenge was ovee by the country boy made Manly grit


    her teeth in frustration.


    "Country boy, just count yourself lucky!" she snapped irritably.


    "I''m lucky every day, and it seems my luck''s even better when I run into stunning beauties like


    Manly!"


    Manly red at Daniel, warning him, "You better not be a smart aleck, or you''ll die a very ugly


    death!"


    Under Manly’s guidance, Daniel moved on to the third challenge.

    "Manly, what''s the third challenge about?" Daniel inquired.


    "Why the rush? You''ll find out soon enough, won''t you?" Manly replied curtly.


    "If I''m not wrong, each challenge must be more dangerous than thest. The third one''s bound to


    be far more perilous. One slip-up and I could end up dead. So, before we arrive at the third


    challenge, shouldn’t you tell me what it is, Manly? After all, even if you n to kill me, I should at


    least know what''sing, right?"


    "Stop with all the babble!" Manly retorted, annoyed. "My brother, known as ck White, is a chess


    fanatic. Beating him is quite simple, really. Just win one game of chess against him."


    "Just one game of chess? That seems easy."


    "Yes! Very simple!" she replied, the corners of her mouth lifting ever so slightly.


    What she didn''t tell Daniel was that no one who had yed chess with ck in thest twenty


    years had left alive. Games with ck had only two oues: win and live; lose and die. Not even


    The Divine Star, their master, could best ck at chess.


    They approached an ancient-looking pavilion, with its delicate carvails wreathed in a light mist,


    giving it an almost ethereal ambiance. A que hung at the pavilion disying its name.


    Inside was a man in a white garment holding a feather fan, exuding the aura of a sage. This was


    Manly’s fifth brother, ck.


    ck flicked his feather fan while muttering to himself phrases from the "ssics of Go."


    Daniel wasn''t someone to be outdone culturally. From the age of three, the Old Man had made him


    memorize various ssics, so he was ready with a quote of his own.


    "The board represents thend, the stones the heavens; aligned by yin and yang, the universe they


    span. When moves reach subtle changes,ugh at those ancients who hermits became."


    As Daniel finished, ck stood up, shook his feather fan in acknowledgment, and greeted Daniel


    with a smile of a humble gentleman before asking, "Are you here to y chess with me?"


    "I''ve already gambled and I''ve drank. Now that I''m here with you, brother, of course, it''s time to


    engage in a game and test our skills," Daniel responded with conviction.


    "How is your skill at chess?" ck inquired.


    "Well, I can''t say I''m great, but I''m not terrible either. I once yed ten games with the smartest dog


    in the vige, and I barely won one game."


    "Smartest dog? Who is this ''Da Huang'' you speak of?" ck questioned.


    "Da Huang? That''s just Da Huang, the cleverest dog in our vige. He''s brilliant, not only at ying


    chess but he''s also excellent at filching meat."
