Zhou Gu never imagined a day when someone would loom over him like a mountain, rendering him unable to compete and move forward.
Ye Guixue might not be there in person, but his chess game was.
Being able to challenge Su Rong and end the game in a draw suggests that if Zhou Gu were to face him, he would also be crushed.
Though he'd known this deep down, Su Rong's performance today had widened the gap even more.
Whether it was family background, skills, or abilities, he felt that it was not just a simple game of chess. The gap between them was much larger.
Zhou Gu cleverly surmised that Su Rong was being deliberate today. He wanted Zhou Gu to recognize his own shortcomings and then step back respectfully.
But was he going to back down? He had been knocked down enough times and this wouldn't make a difference. He was always aware of this gap, so he wouldn't retreat.
He absolutely wouldn't retreat.
