Kai Yuan was stunned, but he still disagreed with Cheng Qianqian's actions. "But…"
"No buts!"
Cheng Qianqian interrupted him coldly. "They started the bet. I won on my own merits and made my life secure. There's no need to explain myself to anyone, including you! Please don't demand of others using your own moral standards. We're not that close."
With that, Cheng Qianqian turned around to look for Yu Xuan. "Let's go! Big sister will treat you to a meal!"
"I said I'm older than you!" Yu Xuan frowned, but he was still happy that Cheng Qianqian could win. That way, she would not have to be bullied by Qi Xuanxuan and the rest.
"Okay, okay. Little brother, big sister won the competition. Be happy!"
"I already said I'm the big brother!"
Yu Xuan and Cheng Qianqian left the competition venue, leaving behind Kai Yuan and the dumbfounded audience.
Cheng Qianqian, that country bumpkin, really won!
Although Cheng Qianqian would definitely become cannon fodder in tomorrow's showdown with Lian Hai and Guan Jing, it was still very impressive for her to be in third place!
There were so many of them who could not even enter the competition!
"No wonder people started betting on Cheng Qianqian in the black market yesterday. She seems to be quite capable!"
"Even if Cheng Qianqian has some ability, it's impossible for her to beat Teacher Guan!"
"That's right, that's right. I'm still betting on Teacher Guan!"
"It'll definitely be either Teacher Guan or Lian Hai. It can't be Cheng Qianqian! Those two are simply the Saints of Go. They are not people that ordinary folks like us can look up to!"
At the dean's office.
Si Yehan retracted his gaze from the monitor and the corners of his lips turned up. He had never misjudged anyone he fancied. This Cheng Qianqian was indeed a hidden talent.
"How is it? Are you confident?" Si Yehan asked.
Guan Jing raised his eyebrows. "Why, do you want me to show mercy and not win that little girl too ruthlessly?"
Si Yehan shook his head. "I'm worried that you won't have the face to continue teaching in school if you lose!"
Guan Jing: "That's enough! Even if you forget your friends when you're in love, that's too much. I've never lost!"
"But you've never won Kai Yuan with such a huge margin when you competed against him."
Guan Jing frowned. What Si Yehan said was true. He knew Kai Yuan's ability. Cheng Qianqian had completely crushed Kai Yuan in that match and didn't plan to leave any leeway for Kai Yuan right from the start.
Even he did not dare to have such confidence from the start of the match.
"This girl's game style reminds me of someone. I think I've seen it before somewhere, but I can't recall it at the moment." Guan Jing frowned and pondered.
"Yehan, who exactly is this girl?!"
"A country bumpkin."
Guan Jing. "…"
They had been friends for so many years, yet he refused to reveal a single word. Where's the brotherhood!
This time, Guan Jing had really wronged Si Yehan. Although Si Yehan had sent many people to investigate Cheng Qianqian's background, all the information he had received was that she was an ordinary country girl, and they couldn't find anything else.
However, Cheng Qianqian's striking actions made it hard for people to believe in her mediocrity.
The only explanation was that there was a powerful mysterious force protecting Cheng Qianqian. This was a force that even Si Yehan couldn't hope to touch, so no matter how many people he sent out, they all returned in disappointment.
However, the more this was the case, the more Si Yehan found it interesting.
