He made a silent vow to himself, swearing off any future chess matches with Hua Shifang!
Only now did he begin to question whether his chess skills were simply atrocious.
No wonder Old Master Lu always ended up so frustrated, engaging in heated arguments with him every time they played.
He imagined Old Master Lu would be ecstatic if he knew Grandpa An had finally gained some self-awareness.
Of course, Old Master Lu had always indulged Master Sun.
After all, Grandpa An hadn't been feeling well at the time and lacked friends. He was too lethargic to venture out and make new acquaintances. Out of sympathy for Master Sun's condition, Old Master Lu had willingly spent more time with him.
Otherwise, with his busy schedule as the president of the Art Association, he wouldn't have had the time to engage in chess matches.
Seeing this, Hua Shifang also relinquished his chess pieces.
