Chapter 10: Chess is Like Life

However, Ye Xuan, how many secrets do you still have?

Ye Xuan is truly beyond anyone's expectations. At this age, to possess medical skills that surpass Zhang Libo is already an extreme anomaly. Now, even his chess skills are on par with the old master.

Essentially, it was a draw, and even Ye Xuan had the upper hand.

Ye Xuan is like an abyss, gradually drawing in people's thoughts

It is already as shocking as an earthquake that Elder Xia could lose in chess to a young novice like Ye Xuan

The game of chess began, and from the outset, Ye Xuan remained steady, neither taking reckless risks nor resorting to overly defensive tactics. Instead, he advanced with each move, establishing his position step by step. Moreover, he did not overthink any of his decisions, maintaining a subtle smile on his face, as if the entire chessboard were under his control

The remaining Xia Haiyang and Xia Ziyu, father and son, looked at each other with expressions of shock and complexity

"Haiyang, make sure to get along well with Yexuan, open your heart to him, and treat him as a junior. If you can do these things, it will be considered a contribution to the Xia family!" Old Master Xia said to Xia Haiyang earnestly, "Originally, I, Xia Haiyang, did not expect to set foot in Yanjing again in my lifetime, to return to the Xia family in Yanjing! However, the appearance of Yexuan has sparked a glimmer of thought in me!"

Xia Ziyu www.hetushu.com.com fell silent, his eyes filled with shock as he alternately gazed at the chessboard and then at Ye Xuan, slightly parting his lips. Clearly, he had never anticipated such a situation.

Xia Haiyang felt a sudden urge to faint

Old Master Xia squinted slightly, savoring his tea, and after a long while finally spoke: "Ye Xuan's chess skills are indeed superior to mine, and at a higher level!"

Is it really that strong

Without giving Ye Xuan a chance to speak, Old Master Xia continued: "Chess is like life; a game of chess can reflect a person's character. One must be steady, composed, and have a plan, and be able to execute that plan rigorously. From the very beginning, you should be laying out your strategy. Although I, an old man, have been playing against you for quite some time, I am self-aware. From the start, I have been at a disadvantage, and every move I made has been under your control"

Xia Ziyu stood up, giving his seat to Ye Xuan, and then whispered beside Xia Zhihan: "I guess this kid will surrender voluntarily in at most ten minutes"

He suddenly realized that he was completely at a disadvantage compared to this young man, regardless of the aspect considered; even his pride in his strength was no match for this young man.

Unbeknownst to Xia Zhihan, she has developed a keen interest in Ye Xuan and the library.

Especially in the summer ocean, what sorrow resides in my heart

In a short time, half an hour has passed

Xia Ziyu pouted and fell silent, his eyes flickering as he awaited Ye Xuan's swift defeat, eager to mock him.

After Ye Xuan and Xia Zhihan left, Xia Ziyu and Xia Haiyang were hesitant to speak.

Xia Zhihan rolled her eyes: "Stop talking on the phone, no one thinks you're mute!"

Hmph, this is just a part of Ye Xuan. If I were to tell you that Ye Xuan's blood is just like medicine, wouldn't you all go crazy?

Xia Zhihan was feeling quite pleased with herself, but soon her face flushed slightly; she couldn't say it! This is a little secret between him and me, and only I can know it

You come and go, attacking the sofa, defending the guardian

Ye Xuan, what is it that you are still unable to do

The miraculous medical skills, the exceptional chess mastery, the calm and composed demeanor, the ethereal and transcendent temperament—this is indeed an extraordinary person! Old Master Xia expressed with some emotion: Compared to Chen Hao, Ye Xuan is a hundred times, no, a thousand times more outstanding! Would Ye Xuan even consider someone like Zihan?

What flattery is this? I am not arrogant; I have been playing chess for decades. There are those who can defeat me, but they are almost all professional players, and most of them are about the same age as I am. " Master Xia took a sip of tea and said with a smile

There is even the chess skill displayed at this very moment

The chess game between Old Master Xia and Ye Xuan has become increasingly complex, with both being masters of the game. Essentially, with each move, they can anticipate the next three to five moves.

With the pieces arranged, Old Master Xia was about to remove a rook and a knight

Oh? The old master Xia, who was holding a cart and a horse with two coins, flashed a glimmer of light in his eyes, looked at Ye Xuan a bit longer, and suddenly laughed heartily: "Good, young man, you have spirit!"

The sorrowful discovery of Xia Haiyang, this time completely obliterated by the return of his daughter

Certainly! Ye Xuan did not refuse and nodded.

The words of Old Master Xia left Xia Haiyang, Xia Ziyu, and even Xia Zhihan utterly astonished

Is this monster still human

Xia Haiyang's mouth twitched; the old man meant that this suddenly appeared kid completely overshadowed Chen Hao. Moreover, the old man is now interested in letting Zihan and Yexuan develop their relationship, and he is also worried that the kid might not be interested in Zihan.

What Old Master Xia means now is that Ye Xuan's victory is not due to luck, but rather an absolute crushing strength

Old Master Xia laughed heartily, appearing very happy

Alright, Xiao Xuan, you and Zhi Han go out for a stroll! Since it's your first time in Dongyang, everything is unfamiliar!" Old Master Xia put away the chessboard and said with a smile: "We will play chess more often in the future, haha...

Old Master Xia's smile grew increasingly rare, and instead, he fell into deep thought, taking a long time to place a single chess piece.

Xia Zhihan's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement and pride; Ye Xuan's performance truly brought her great honor

Ye Xuan is no exception

Old Master Xia has lost an elephant, a soldier, and a horse

"Old Master, there's no need to bring a horse and carriage; I prefer fairness in chess. If I truly lose, then let me have two more pieces!" Ye Xuan suddenly said

Is this still a human?

Xia Zhihan covered her mouth, chuckling softly, with a hint of pride.

Alright, old man, I will accompany you to play chess more often in the future Ye Xuan nodded

Ye Xuan was consumed by two minions and one cannon

The elder is overly complimentary! Ye Xuan said with a smile

Xia Haiyang cast a resentful glance at his daughter, as if to say: "Girl, have you brought home a monstrous boy to challenge your father?"

Ziyu, in the future, make sure to interact more with Yexuan, learn from him properly, and even be his little follower. If you spend a few years by his side, you will be qualified to become the heir of the Xia family. After the old man finished speaking, he walked towards his room with anticipation.

Let’s see who still dares to say that the person Xia Zhihan brought back is a country bumpkin

The old man personally admitted it, causing the expressions of Xia Haiyang and Xia Ziyu to finally change.

In the depths of Xia Haiyang's heart, tumultuous waves surged, and he finally understood the high regard in which Ye Xuan was held by the old man, prompting him to take things seriously.

Staring at each other in silence for a long time

Old Master Xia furrowed his brows, lowering his head, completely engrossed in the chess game, seemingly forgetting everyone else around him

Strange body, blood

"Showing off, I estimate that if this kid doesn't drop out in five minutes, he will have to admit defeat!" Xia Ziyu muttered again

Xia Zhihan's eyes were filled with brilliance; she had truly encountered a remarkable person

Half an hour later, Old Master Xia finally raised his head, looking at Ye Xuan with a mix of astonishment and admiration: "Xiao Xuan, your chess skills are better than mine, old man! Haha..."

Xia Haiyang was equally astonished
