Qi Xia came forward as Yan Qing Shan exited the arena. A sliver of smile in his lips. Compared to Hong Zhen Yue, he didn't dare be complacent. As he sees it, Yan Qing Shan was far from being simple.
"Miss Yan is very formidable, I see. However, my challenge will not involve brawns. May I invite you to a chess match instead?"
The other aces stiffened while Yan Qing Shan raised her brow at their reaction. Jia Yi Lan's gentle voice raised a notch as she protested Qi Xia's challenge.
"No! Absolutely not! That's going to be really unfair. Qi Xia, you're a freaking nationally renowned grandmaster in chess. You expect her to compete against you? Where's your integrity?"
She chided to which the man merely shrugged. Qi Xia was proclaimed a chess grandmaster at age nine. Add up the years of his leisurely plays and competition experiences he was basically unbeatable in the game. Hence, Jia Yi Lan's argument.
