"Master Gu, I know your chess skills are exceptional and you're a master of the game. You also look so kind and handsome, especially on your birthday today! You must live as long as the Southern Mountain and have good fortune like the Eastern Sea! And what's more, the weather is perfect today... Ah, yes, and your tea is particularly delicious too..." Su Nianian started flattering him without hesitation, understanding that you shouldn't hit a smiling face.

  Mr. Gu smiled with his eyes narrowed, the old man was advanced in years and liked to listen to pleasant words, let alone Su Nian's sweet mouth, praising him made his mood also improve.

  "Out with it, what's the conspiracy?" The old man asked leisurely, but his tone made Su Nian stunned.

  This sinister and calm feeling...... why is it so similar to Gu Zichen's?...

  But she still smiled and said: "Then give me three children, I know you're the best!"

  "Alright, have it your way, you go first."

  Su shook his head: "No no no, what I mean is, in this round, you let me win three times, hehe..."

  "The little girl is quite clever." The old man smiled and nodded in agreement.

  Su Nian finally let out a long sigh and seriously started playing chess with the old man.

  Gu Zi Chen originally thought she was showing off, but unexpectedly she really had some skills, and at this moment he couldn't help but look at this pig with new eyes.

  Su Niannian fell quickly, without hesitation or delay, which was quite to the old man's taste. Moreover, her chess moves were unique and bold, with a sharp edge, and after ten minutes of play, the two were surprisingly evenly matched.

  Mr. Gu put away his disdainful mentality and began to take things seriously.

  Bai Zi gradually surrounded Hei Zi, and just as they were about to be trapped, Su Nian Nian suddenly dropped two chess pieces and hastily said: "Grandfather Gu, you said you'd let me win! You can't go back on your word!"

  The old man shook his head and didn't bother to argue with her.

  After several more rounds, the two players' moves slowed down, and their thinking time grew longer. Su Nian had used up all her tricks, but still couldn't beat him.

  Gu Zichen secretly watched her frantic appearance, his lips slightly raised, and he picked up the tea to take a light sip.

  It's actually quite nice just watching her quietly like this.

  Su suddenly fell into Old Master's encirclement, on the verge of defeat. She quickly picked up the chess piece she had just played.

  "Hmm... My hand shook, this doesn't count..."

  "Alright, I won't count it, but this is already the second one."

  Su Nian's eyebrows were furrowed in worry as she propped up her chin, pondering where to go next.

  "Cough, cough." Gu Zichen suddenly cleared his throat, and Su Nian looked at him subconsciously, only to see him wink at her, pointing to a small, inconspicuous corner of the chessboard.

  There seemed to be an unspoken understanding between the two, and Su Year also understood where he was referring to without any verbal description. She made a decisive move and placed her chess piece in that location.

  The old man's face stiffened, and Su Year's move not only allowed himself to break out of the encirclement but also connected with his previous chess pieces, just a few moves away from surrounding his opponent's pieces.

  He chuckled and said: "Zi Chen, who would have thought that you'd help an outsider cheat your own grandfather, sigh..."

  Su's face turned slightly red, pretending nothing had happened, and she continued playing with the old man.

  The more Old Master Yu looked at Su Nian's chess moves, the more he felt a sense of familiarity. He casually asked: "Little girl, who are your parents?"
