Chapter 367
Hearing what Hai Lin said, Qingfeng Li just smiled . He knew that Hai Lin was trying to hold in his anger from before, but now he couldn’t hold it any longer .
Qingfeng Li was right, Hai Lin couldn’t anymore . Seeing how his father and Qingfeng were going to play Go, he had to mock Qingfeng Li . He knew that his father played Go a lot, and was extremely skillful . Not a lot of people could beat him .
"Qingfeng, ignore him . I am only mediocre . Come on, let us play one round . " Shi Lin took out the pieces .
He loved Go; it was his biggest hobby . Every time someone came to visit, he had to play them . His son-in-law finally came, so naturally he had to play a round with him .
In all honesty, Shi Lin mainly wanted to let his son-in-law know he was still respectable through his Go skills . Even though his status couldn’t compete with the Li family, in other fields such as Go, he was still skillful .
Go was a strategic board game . People in ancient times loved this game and it became popular in the Eastern Dragon Continent .
Shi Lin placed the first piece down on the table . Go used squared boards and two colors of pieces, black and white, to play . There were 19 lines horizontally and vertically, creating 361 intersections . Shi Lin used white and Qingfeng Li used black .
Shi Lin placed his first piece in the middle . His strategy was to be extremely safe; going one step at a time . In comparison Qingfeng Li was extremely risky . He placed his first piece at the bottom right corner . Qingfeng Li was going for high-risk-high-reward strategy .
Seeing Qingfeng Li’s piece, Shi Lin’s eyes were filled with confusion . The location of Qingfeng Li’s piece was remote; it was almost like he didn’t want to fight him straight on .
Shi Lin’s second piece also landed in the middle, but this time to the left . He wanted to surround Qingfeng Li’s territory and force him into the corner .
But Qingfeng Li’s next piece baffled Shi Lin . Once again, he placed his black piece at the corner of the table, but this time at the left corner . His previous piece was at the right corner .
Shi Lin was confused by Qingfeng Li’s black pieces because he wasn’t playing like a normal person . A piece on the left corner a piece on the right corner, what was he thinking . The two pieces were too far from each other; how could he surround the other side .
Shi Lin thought Qingfeng Li probably didn’t know how to play Go and was placing the pieces randomly . Thus, he continued to place his white piece . Every he placed his white piece Qingfeng Li immediately followed with a black piece .
Unconsciously, the two placed a lot of pieces down already . The board was almost filled .
"Ah, since when did my white pieces get surrounded?" Shi Lin’s face changed .
He discovered all his white pieces were already surrounded by Qingfeng Li .
Lost, I lost . Shi Lin’s eyes were filled with shock . He didn’t think that on Go he would lose to his son-in-law . In addition, he couldn’t even fight back .
Father lost?
Hai Lin’s mouth was wide open . Other people didn’t know how strong his father’s Go was, but he knew . Even some of the professionals lost to his father . Now, his father had lost to Qingfeng Li; it was a complete defeat as well .
"Father-in-law, you said your Go skill was mediocre . I guess you weren’t lying . " Qingfeng Li smiled .
When Shi Lin told him his Go skills were just ok, Qingfeng Li thought he was being modest . But he found out, his father-in-law’s skill was really mediocre; he wasn’t lying .
To be honest, when Qingfeng Li was placing his pieces, he was thinking for the father-in-law . He already gave him too many opportunities . Many times Qingfeng Li could of won, but he let him go .
In the end, Qingfeng Li gave him too many chances, he could only defeat him .
"Qingfeng . My skills are actually pretty good . You said my skills were mediocre is too hurtful . " Shi Lin thought in his head .
Of course, these were all Shi Lin’s thought . He wouldn’t say it out loud because it would be even more embarrassing . The father-in-law lost to his son-in-law; it would drop his reputation a lot .
"The meal is ready . Shi Lin, what happened to your face . " Mother-in-law asked after finished cooking .
Shi Lin tensed his brows and said, "Of course my face doesn’t look well . I was playing Go with Qingfeng, but I lost . "
What? lost?
Xiaoyun Mu’s eyes were filled with confusion . She knew that her husband’s Go skills were extremely high, how come he lost . Qingfeng Li was only around 20 years old; how come his Go skills were so strong?
Shi Lin played Go a lot and Xiaoyun Mu saw him play Go a lot . Thus, she was able to tell who lost who won .
Xiaoyun Mu looked at the board; she wanted to see how many pieces her husband lost by . After just one look she was shocked: Shi Lin’s black pieces were completely surrounded by Qingfeng Li’s white pieces . He lost completely .
Xiaoyun Mu looked at Shi Lin with sympathy . Getting beaten at his favorite habit definitely saddened him .
Xue Lin came out at this time as well . She had some knowledge of Go as well . After one look she was able to tell Qingfeng Li beaten her father .
"Dear you are so good . It's like you defeated dad's army!" Xue Lin walked to Qingfeng Li’s side and said .
Xue Lin wasn’t close with her father because Shi Lin had preferred a boy more . When she was young, Shi Lin cared about Hai Lin more . Thus when she saw Qingfeng Li beat her father with Go, she was super happy .
What, beat me completely?
Hearing what Xue Lin said, Qingfeng Li gave her an awkward look . He is your father at the very least, you shouldn’t embarrass him too much .
Even though Xue Lin’s voice was low, Shi Lin still heard it . Shi Lin’s face reddened up and felt embarrassed . Shi Lin was feeling extremely embarrassed: her daughter was on his son-in-law’s side . She was embarrassing him .
Hearing what Xue Lin said, Hai Lin wasn’t happy . He wanted to scold Xue Lin; how could you describe father like that?
"Xue Lin, you can’t say that to father . Qingfeng Li didn’t just defeat dad's army . He killed every single member of dad's army, including the chickens and dogs . " Hai Xin looked at Xue Lin and said .
