Chapter 713 The Dark Horse Rides Over

Xia Wanyuan seemed to know what Xuan Sheng was about to say. “It’s all in the past. There’s no longer back then.”

“Mm.” Xuan Sheng sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and smiled at Xia Wanyuan. “I was just casually saying. Miss Xia, you might not even have a place in my cage. After all, I’ve locked up countless canaries here.”

Xia Wanyuan walked in front of Xuan Sheng and glanced at the broken prayer beads in his hand. The broken edges had cut his fingers, but he didn’t seem to notice.

“Doesn’t it hurt?” Xia Wanyuan reached out and removed the prayer beads. “I’m used to it.” Xuan Sheng lowered his head, his thin eyelids revealing some fragility.

Before he could remember anything, he was his biological mother’s tool to vent her anger. He was so hungry every day that he could be beaten up by that woman for a night just because he had secretly eaten a meal.

From a very young age, his biological mother had taught him to be anorexic and irritable. From the age of ten, she had sent women to his bed and vowed to raise him into a scum.

This pain was nothing.

“I wish you well.” Xia Wanyuan knelt down and looked straight into Xuan Sheng’s eyes. Those eyes, which always had a hint of evilness, now had a hint of red under them. They were dark and dull.

Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan in front of him. His eyes flickered and the corners of his lips curled up. “Miss Xia, you’re not even my person. You want me to be well? You’ll make me misunderstand.”

Xia Wanyuan did not say anything more. She stood up, turned around, and saw Jun Shiling standing at the door. His gaze was obscure, and he was staring at her deeply.

“Let’s go back.” Xia Wanyuan walked over to hold Jun Shiling’s hand, then looked at Xuan Sheng. “I’ll be leaving first. See you later.”

“Alright. Goodbye, Yuan Yuan.” Xuan Sheng winked at Xia Wanyuan, then looked provocatively at Jun Shiling.

Sensing Jun Shiling’s imposing manner, Xia Wanyuan held his hand and left with her man.

After the two of them disappeared from his sight, the corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips gradually returned to normal. He leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he picked up his phone and made a call.

“Bring back the few psychiatrists from last time. Get two fitness instructors to come back and get the doctor to prescribe some medicine with less side effects.”

The butler on the other end of the line was getting more and more shocked. What had gotten into my young master? In the past, he had acted like he was resigned to fate and was about to collapse. Now, not only did he start eating, he even took the initiative to request to see a doctor.

“Alright, alright. I’ll arrange it right away.” The butler nodded happily. No matter what, it was a good thing that the young master was willing to take good care of himself.

After hanging up the phone, Xuan Sheng looked at the charming shadow who was leaving. His eyes were lonely. “I’ll listen to you.” However, his voice was too soft. Even his assistant who was closest to him couldn’t hear what he was saying. It was as if Xuan Sheng was just saying it for himself.

On the Phantom that was driving at a constant speed, Jun Shiling frowned slightly as he looked out the window. Xia Wanyuan reached out and hooked her finger in his palm. Only then did Jun Shiling turn around. “Angry?” Xia Wanyuan hooked her pinky around Jun Shiling’s.

“To be honest, there’s one thing. He calls you Yuan Yuan.” Jun Shiling wrapped Xia Wanyuan’s hand in his own. “But I believe

you.”

“You should trust yourself.” Xia Wanyuan revealed her dimples. “After all, CEO Jun is so rich, so handsome, and has such a good temper.”

Jun Shiling hugged her helplessly. He knew that Xia Wanyuan was teasing him, but he was still delighted by her words.

“Li Yi, you can do it! Our hopes are all on you!” At the airport, the national Go team was sending Li Yi off.

In the past, fans would come to send them off. However, because of the failure of the World Tournament, when Li Yi and his friends went to Continent M for the Master Tournament, not a single fan came again.

“Alright, alright. If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to catch the plane.” Jack looked at the members of the Go team unhappily. With the standard of the Chinese Go team, they would just be a bystander. They wouldn’t even be able to get a placing, yet they were acting as though it was such a big deal.

“Let’s go.” Li Yi waved at his teammates.

A passerby passed by and saw the team emblem on Li Yi’s shirt. He turned to his friend and said, “Look, that’s our national Go team. I heard that the World Go Master Competition is about to start.”

“Damn, the competition has already started long ago. The preliminary round has already ended. It seems like it’s going to be the world’s semi-finals now. It’s almost coming to an end. Our country doesn’t have much to look forward to. The international competition has already died down, so how can we still hope to win the grandmaster competition? I don’t think there’s a chance.”

The two of them were talking loudly in the airport, so it was clearly heard by the team who was about to board. Some of the younger members wanted to argue, but Li Yi held their shoulders and said, “They are right. Why are you rushing up?” Everyone was disappointed by Li Yi’s words. They could only blame themselves for not being as good as others, causing all those who liked them to be disappointed.

In Continent M, Lawrence sat on the sofa as the coach placed a list in front of him. “Your potential opponent in this Masters game.”

Lawrence had just won the World Series championship, and he was feeling very pleased with himself. He glanced at the name list in his hand. They were all the more popular players. “Why is Li Yi, the loser, still here?” Lawrence asked in confusion when he saw Li Yi’s name on the list.

“He’s the most important seeded player in China. We can’t underestimate him.” China was the land of Go. Even though it had declined over the years, who knew if there were still people living in their land.

“Humph, China is just so-so. I don’t understand why you are so worried about China winning the championship. I don’t think they can even get into the top three.” Lawrence had defeated Li Yi, so he didn’t care about China at all.

“Let’s hope so,” The coach said, feeling oddly guilty at Lawrence’s smugness. But when he looked at the list, he saw that these people weren’t as skilled as Lawrence. He suppressed his uneasiness again.

The semifinals of the World Masters Tournament were currently in an intense competition. The members selected by the various national Go Association could directly participate in the finals, while the civilian contestants would have to compete online to select 20 contestants from the millions of contestants.

The semi-finals were based on points. Winning one round would add one point, and losing one round would have one point deducted.

The higher the score, the higher the score of a suitable opponent.

At the end of the competition, the top 20 contestants were chosen to enter the finals.

In this semifinals, there were a total of two million people competing on the line.

The people in charge of monitoring the progress of the competition looked at the rankings list in boredom.

The higher the score, the stronger the opponent. Many people, who had initially risen in points, slowly began to fight with their opponents. There were no big abnormalities.

There were only two days left until the semi-finals. The top 20 had been decided. The staff members were bored and sat in the hall playing with their phones.

“Heavens, look! Is there a problem with our data collection device?” In the quiet hall, a reviewer suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone perked up and looked at the big screen. Then, they saw an account called “Xia”. In just half a day, it had achieved a hundred consecutive victories that no one had ever achieved before. It directly triggered the safety alarm of the harvester.

Moreover, the points on this account kept flashing with green light.

This meant that it was still rising!
