At the pavilion, the two men sat across the stone table from each other once more.
They took out their Go pieces and once again began to play a long-missed game.
Lin Xianzhi held the white pieces, Lin Shiming the black!
However, unlike before, every move Lin Xianzhi made caused Lin Shiming's brows to furrow deeply.
Lin Xianzhi smiled slightly, silent, but his speed at playing Go grew faster and faster.
Meanwhile, Lin Shiming naturally continued to ponder deeply, scratching his cheek and pulling at his ear.
One slow move led to a cascade of delays, and with each, the sense of peril grew!
But what he was deeply contemplating was not the Go pieces, but the additional matter Lin Xianzhi mentioned.
"Qian Family!" With Lin Xianzhi placing the final piece, Lin Shiming found himself with no room to retreat—the victor and the vanquished were clear!
As soon as the word "Qian Family" was mentioned, Lin Shiming instantly became alert!
Indeed!
