A Swift Reversal
Gu Shiyan recognized him at a glance. He was the Chess Saint, Elder Du.
In her previous life, after becoming the Crown Princess, she had the privilege of meeting Elder Du once. She raised an eyebrow and glanced at Gu Qingci.
She observed him, unflinching like an old dog, shamelessly stating, "The one who solved the Hegemon's Checkmate is my little sister. But she only managed to solve it at the Spring Banquet because she had read my annotations."
Gu Shiyan eyes narrowed slightly. Look at how he's shamelessly praising himself.
Elder Du acted as if he suddenly understood everything. "So, it was you who actually solved the Hegemon's Checkmate."
Gu Qingci licked his lips and nodded with a hint of awkwardness, "You could say that."
"I once said that anyone who could solve the Hegemon's Checkmate would be my disciple. How could I go back on my word after living so many years? Come down here and bow to me as my disciple." Elder Du stroked his white beard and even lifted his robe.
