Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Wang Lantian couldn't help but clench his fists. The expression on his face became extremely dark at this moment.
How could a mere low-class aristocratic family have their reputation spread to the counties?
How could he meet Mister Sun Chuo?
These scholars mocked him, but they respected Liang Shanbo.
What right did he, Liang Shanbo, have?
He was a descendant of the Wang family from Taiyuan and had a high status in the county. In the end, he could not even compare to such a lowly low-class aristocratic family!
This made Wang Lantian go crazy with jealousy.
He also knew that the anger in his heart had indeed risen inexplicably.
That Liang Shanbo didn't provoke him at all, so he shouldn't hate him.
But for some reason.
When he saw Liang Shanbo, he instinctively felt disgusted and hateful.
He wanted to see Liang Shanbo suffer a loss, and even ruin his reputation!
Moreover…
So what if it was an inexplicable hatred?
He was born in the direct line of descent of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and he hated a mere low-class scholar. Would anyone dare to say anything?
It was his fortune to be jealous of him!
It was the luck he had cultivated for eight lifetimes!
Who would dare to criticize him?
Thinking of this.
Wang Lantian's expression softened a little, and the anger in his heart also subsided a little.
He looked at Liang Shanbo once more and snorted coldly. Then, he ordered the servant to drive the ox cart and leave.
Staying here would only be humiliation.
He wanted to return to his room and vent the anger in his heart.
……
Let's not talk about Wang Lantian.
On Liang Shanbo's side, after entering the courtyard, the old servant guided him to the main hall.
At the entrance of the hall, Liang Shanbo put on his wooden clogs and walked into the room. He saw an old man in the hall.
He saw that this old man had a strange appearance. He was wearing a loose robe with large sleeves and his hair was casually scattered, making him look relaxed.
At this moment, he was casually sitting on the ground, holding a book in one hand and playing chess alone.
He had a graceful and natural temperament.
Liang Shanbo knew that this person should be Sun Chuo.
He didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, saying in a clear voice,""Liang Shanbo of Shanyin greets Mister Sun.”
Sun Chuo put down the book in his hand and looked up at Liang Shanbo.
When he took a look, his eyes immediately narrowed and revealed a look of surprise.
He didn't expect Liang Shanbo's appearance to be so outstanding.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, before others understood you, the first thing they saw were two points.
Appearance and calligraphy.
You can see the character by looking at the character.
His appearance was pleasing.
Now that Liang Shanbo had such an outstanding appearance, Sun Chuo couldn't help but think of the appearance of a banished immortal.
In addition, he had also heard of Liang Shanbo's calligraphy.
As well as Liang Shanbo's 'Like a Spring Breeze' buff, just one look was enough to give Sun Chuo a good impression of him.
After observing for a long time, Sun Chuo slowly nodded and said softly,"Stand up."
"Thank you, Mr. Sun."
Liang Shanbo stood up, his hands clasped behind his back.
"I received your visiting card and Chen Daoyuan's letter yesterday."”
"Chen Daoyuan was my good friend in the past. We visited the counties together. Although we didn't spend much time together, we regretted not meeting each other earlier and formed a deep relationship.”
"Since you are his disciple, your knowledge should not be weak.”
"I heard you're only seventeen? At such a young age, your reputation has already spread far and wide across the counties. Even I have heard of you…When I was traveling with Xie An a few days ago, he even mentioned you to me and praised your calligraphy skills.”
"He also said that your style and speech are clear and meaningful, and that you will not lose to Wang Donghai in the future.”
"Xie An doesn't easily recommend people, but he admires you so much, which makes me quite curious.”
"And after seeing you today, I know that Xie An did not lie to me.”
Liang Shanbo really didn't expect this.
When he saw Sun Chuo, the first thing he received was a wave of praise.
Before he came, he had been quite nervous, thinking about how to talk to this god.
Who would have expected such a scene?
This made him heave a sigh of relief.
However, Liang Shanbo didn't show any neglect. After hearing this, he cupped his hands and said,"Uncle Shan doesn't deserve your high reputation.”
"There's no need to be so polite.”
Sun Chuo waved his hand and let Liang Shanbo sit down.
Then, he said," Logically speaking, you have Chen Daoyuan's letter and Xie An's praise. You are even famous in the counties. I should take you in as my disciple."”
Liang Shanbo listened quietly, waiting for Sun Chuo to continue.
As expected.
"But…"
Sun Chuo stroked his beard and smiled." After all, you have become my disciple and learned my ways. The praises of others are still others. You have to satisfy me."”
"Please take the exam."
Sun Chuo smiled and said," Since you're Chen Daoyuan's disciple, I won't make things difficult for you…"
"In my life, other than talking about Xuan, I only like playing chess and music. Either you play a song, or you play a game with me. As long as I like it, it will be considered a pass…Which one do you want to choose?”
Liang Shanbo was still a little worried.
But after hearing this, he immediately relaxed.
Although he was not proficient in music.
However, in the path of chess, he was already extraordinary.
It was definitely more than enough to deal with this test.
Thinking of this.
"I'd like to have a hand to hand talk with you, Mr. Sun," said Liang Shanbo with a smile.”
"Oh?"
Hearing Liang Shanbo's choice, Sun Chuo was quite surprised. He raised his eyebrows and said,"Although this old master likes playing chess and music, I am not proficient in music.”
"Since you've chosen to play chess, you must first gain my approval in the way you play chess…Are you sure you still want to play chess?”
Liang Shanbo cupped his hands and said,"Since I've decided, why would I go back on my word?" I will choose to play chess, please enlighten me.”
"Your courage is commendable, but I wonder how good your chess skills are.”
Sun Chuo nodded.
He didn't say anything more, but gestured for Liang Shanbo to sit opposite him,"In this match, you will be the black one.”
"Yes."
Liang Shanbo didn't give in. He picked up the black piece and started playing.
He didn't use any strange chess moves, but a normal opening.
With Liang Shanbo's current level of Go skill, he had already reached the Divine Realm and returned to the True Realm.
Therefore, he did not need to take the unconventional path.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
The so-called treacherous moves were just small tricks.
As the game gradually unfolded, Sun Chuo, who was originally calm, quickly became serious.
The speed at which he played chess also became slower and slower.
In the end, when both sides reached the sixty-fourth move, Sun Chuo thought for a full cup of tea's time. In the end, he put the chess piece back into the box and sighed."The younger generation is formidable!"
In fact, Sun Chuo had already planned to take Liang Shanbo as his disciple when he saw him.
The reason why he suggested playing chess was just because he was in the mood. In addition, he wanted to use chess to check out Liang Shanbo's character.
Regardless of whether Liang Shanbo could defeat him in the end, he would take him in as his disciple.
But who knew…
"Thank you for letting me win, Mr. Sun."
Liang Shanbo laughed.
Sun Chuo shook his head and said frankly,"It's not that I'm giving in, but your chess skills have already reached an extraordinary level.”
"It looks ordinary, but in reality, it's a return to simplicity.”
"In terms of chess skills, I'm afraid no one in this world can defeat you…This old man's loss is not unjust!”
After saying that.
He stood up and looked at Liang Shanbo,""From today onwards…you are my disciple.”
……
……
I just want to know, is there anyone else watching? If anyone is watching, I hope they can give me some fresh flowers, comments, monthly votes, tips, and comments to support me and give me some motivation…
Sigh, it was written with apprehension!
