Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan walked over and sat down opposite her, reached out and grabbed the white piece in the chess box, and prepared to guess who would make the first move.

Shuiyue waved her hand to stop her at the right time and said, "Don't worry, before we start, let's talk about it. Anyway, we have plenty of time tonight, so we can play slowly."

"Then don't beat around the bush, just say it! How exactly do you want to play with me?" Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

She could see that Shuiyue didn't intend to just play a game of chess with her tonight.

Shuiyue pretended to be in deep thought and said, "How about this! Let's play two games tonight. The civil game is the black and white chess game, and as for the martial game! I won't bully you. As long as you can last three moves against me, I will count you as the winner."

"Oh, sister, you are trying to show off your power to me! I won't fall for it!" Gu Chan said with a fake smile.

"You have no choice. You have to eat it whether you want to or not. And I tell you, the reason why I asked my soldiers to stop and wait on the Tiancang River and brought people to see you first was to give you a chance. Otherwise, when the general leads the army to arrive, it will be completely impossible for you to struggle." Shuiyue said seriously.

"Then according to what you said, I should thank you?" Gu Chan said provocatively.

Shuiyue stared at Gu Chan coldly, obviously really angry.

She originally thought that this was a way of treating others with courtesy, but Gu Chan did not appreciate it at all, which naturally made her feel embarrassed.

Gu Chan didn't waste any words with her and said directly, "Sister, don't forget that I have also been on the battlefield and killed enemies. How do the 100,000 soldiers of the Diyue Kingdom compare to you? Have I ever been afraid of them on the battlefield? So don't give me that. This lord won't fall for it."

"Okay, okay, you have guts, so I won't say much, let's start! If you can beat me in these two rounds, I will return the old beggar to you and lead my people back to the warship on the Tiancang River. I promise that I will never lead troops into Jiangnan City before the general's army arrives." Shuiyue said coldly.

"Come on! That's what I've been waiting for you to say. Guess! Odd or even?" Gu Chan said disdainfully.

Shuiyue said in a deep voice, "Single."

Gu Chan loosened his hands and threw the few white pieces in his hand onto the chessboard.

Shuiyue looked down and found six white pieces on the chessboard. Her face darkened and she said, "You little brat, I saw you grab five white pieces just now, but now you loosen your grip and the white pieces fall onto the board, and there are now six. You really know how to play!"

"My godfather Shen Sanfeng and my master Old Man Bai both taught me that the one who moves first has an advantage in black and white chess. Since I'm not as strong as you, it's natural for me to take the initiative. But you didn't even notice my clumsy technique. It really makes me doubt your ability!" Gu Chan said with a smirk.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started!" Shuiyue urged with a stiff face.

Gu Chan chuckled, reached out to pick up the six white pieces on the chessboard and put them back into the chess box, then took out another piece and placed it on the board.

Shuiyue also took out a black piece and placed it on it.

The black and white chess game between the two began in this way.

As the game progressed, Gu Chan gradually discovered that Shuiyue's chess skills were much weaker than Shen Sanfeng and Old Man Bai!

Thinking back to when she was in Zhongyuan City, she often played chess with those two old men and was severely beaten by them, but at the same time, she also learned a lot of subtle chess moves from the games with them, so now when she plays chess with Shuiyue, although she is not very good at it, at least the pressure is not that great.

As the game entered the middle stage, Gu Chan had already begun to gain the upper hand.

Shuiyue's expression became uglier and uglier. She couldn't help but stare at Gu Chan and yell, "Okay! I really didn't expect that you, at such a young age, could have such superb chess skills. It seems that I really underestimated you."

"What a joke! I used to play chess with two old guys who were excellent at chess. I was often beaten by them. How could they not teach me some chess skills? But you, a lousy chess player, where do you get the confidence to play against me?" Gu Chan said sarcastically.

"You..." Shuiyue was choked speechless and felt extremely embarrassed.

Before coming to Jiangnan, she had sent people to inquire about Gu Chan's information. She knew that this little brat was smooth-talking and difficult to deal with. She had been mentally prepared, but now that she was facing Gu Chan, she realized that when it came to bickering, she was no match for Gu Chan.

Moreover, although Gu Chan looks so young, she seems to feel nothing at all when facing the strong sense of oppression emitted by these four people. This courage is indeed worthy of others' admiration.

"No wonder this brat was favored by the Ninth Prince and became the Lord of Jiangnan. He is indeed a courageous man."

After realizing this, Shuiyue couldn't help but say in her heart.

However, in that moment of distraction, she was so distracted that she suddenly dropped the black piece in her hand into the wrong place.

After she came to her senses, she held Kuroko's finger and refused to move it away.

Gu Chan said quickly, "Sister, don't regret your move! If you cheat while playing chess with a child, I will really look down on you."

"You little bastard, one day, I will tear your stinky mouth apart." Shuiyue glared at Gu Chan viciously.

After saying that, she moved her fingers away very reluctantly.

"hey-hey……"

Gu Chan gave a wicked smile and quickly made her moves to surround the opponent. Then she completely took advantage and quickly won the game, defeating Shuiyue.

Shuiyue was so angry that her face was stiff and she said, "If I hadn't made a wrong move just now, you wouldn't have won this game so easily."

"You lost, so you lost. Why are you still making excuses for yourself? How can you, the new deputy general of the Jiangnan Camp, not even be able to afford to lose a game?" Gu Chan said sarcastically.

"Okay, okay, then even if you win, I'll see how you can survive three moves from me." Shuiyue said with gritted teeth, holding back her anger.

Then she made a gesture of invitation to Gu Chan, and stood up first, walked out of the pavilion, and jumped steadily onto the grass in front.

Gu Chan stood up, and just looked at her quietly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Shuiyue's physical strength is definitely not weaker than Bai Jingtian. She couldn't beat Bai Jingtian at all before, and it is impossible for her to beat Shuiyue now. Moreover, even if she fights as hard as she did against Mo Qilin in the Nifeng Valley before, she has no chance of winning. She might even mess up Jiangnan Academy.

So in general, there is no need for her to fight desperately at the moment. She just needs to use her brain and survive these three moves.

After figuring all this out in her mind, Gu Chan slowly walked out of the pavilion, stood opposite Shuiyue, and faced her.
