"I knew that, and that is why he died three years ago," said Gu Qing.
Glancing at him once, Jing Jiu said, "It would be impossible for those elderly men to do it, so how did he die?"
Gu Qing was slightly surprised, wondering how his master could figure this out. "Senior Master Layue was determined to kill him, and so he's dead," Gu Qing explained.
It was Jing Jiu's turn to feel surprised, as he thought Layue needed at least four more years to surpass Luo Huainan, how could she have killed him three years ago?
Gu Qing told him about what had happened three years ago in full detail.
After learning that the event had involved Liu Shisui, and Tong Yan who sat across him in front of the chess board, Jing Jiu fell silent for a while, then signaled for Gu Qing to continue.
