Xia Wanyuan had only taken a look at the beginning before understanding the style of their chess. She did not even need to look to guess how the next two people would play.
In her previous life, she was proficient in all four arts. A chess saint had personally taught her chess skills.
Before the Go Saint taught her chess skills, he told her, "When you see the first three, you have to deduce the last three."
It meant that when a person's chess skills reached a certain level, they could deduce their entire line of thought from the first three stones their opponent had dropped, and then know where their last three stones would land.
This was also the condition her master had set for her to finish her apprenticeship, and Xia Wanyuan had finished her apprenticeship very smoothly.
Xia Wanyuan was not flustered at all by the Old Madam's sudden call. She stepped forward, picked up a white piece, and placed it in the middle of the chessboard.
