Chapter 490 - Chapter 490 Chapter 490 Guess First

Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Guess First Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Guess First Mu Lingyun actually wasn’t listening to what they were saying and suddenly opened her eyes when called upon.

Her eyes carried a hint of languid sleepiness.

“Is it time to start?” she still propped her head with her hand, tilting her head as she asked.

Host: …

An Yun: …

The audience below burst into laughter after hearing Mu Lingyun’s words.

The people watching the live broadcast also laughed, and the barrage filled the screen for a moment.

[I think there’s nothing wrong with Lingyun’s response like this.]

[After all the tough talk was put out there, they find out she wasn’t even listening, ask yourself, isn’t that embarrassing, hahaha…]

[The lady goose is so cute…hahaha…]

[Mu Lingyun: Hurry up and start, stop blabbering, hahaha…]

…

Ying Zong also smiled, but a flicker of concern flashed through his eyes as well.

He was very aware that playing Go was really about one’s condition.

But now, Mu Lingyun seemed to be seriously sleep-deprived. Would that affect her performance?

As he was thinking, Lan Min on the side spoke with a sneer, “You see it too, don’t you? Your goddess isn’t in any condition to play. Think she can win? She’s lucky if she doesn’t lose too badly.”

Ying Zong glanced at Lan Min and snorted without giving him any attention, then went to look for old master Bai.

He needed to get clear about what exactly was going on with his goddess.

When Ying Zong found old master Bai, old master Bai had just learned the situation from the old master of the Ji family.

“Apparently, there was a problem with Rong Family Company, and Lingyun didn’t sleep all night,” old master Bai sighed.

Ying Zong frowned, “She didn’t sleep all night, and you still let her go on stage? Don’t you know how many people are waiting to see her make a fool of herself?”

Lan Min was one of them.

Old master Bai spread his hands.

“What can I do? It was announced that Mu Lingyun would go on stage, look around this venue, it’s basically all for Lingyun. If she doesn’t go up, they’d likely throw the tickets in our faces, believe it or not?”

Ying Zong fell silent for a moment.

“Don’t worry though, Mu Lingyun’s agent has already talked to me. If she loses, we’ll release a statement saying that Mu Lingyun cares about traditional Go and such, it won’t affect her reputation,” old master Bai stated.

Ying Zong, feeling helpless, could only return to his seat and focus on the match.

–

After Mu Lingyun asked that question, the host and An Yun were taken aback for a moment, then the host spoke, “It seems Lingyun is wholly focused on the game, then please, An Yun, take your place.”

An Yun wheeled over to Mu Lingyun’s opposite side and found her propping her head, eyes closed again.

An Yun’s expression turned somewhat ugly.

Apart from the first challenger, everyone who came after took up the game with serious intent.

They approached him with a mix of closeness and fear.

And Mu Lingyun? She seemed not to take him seriously at all.

He felt that Mu Lingyun’s current state was the biggest insult to him.

He was displeased inside, but it was not fitting to say anything. He reached for the bowl of stones, grabbed a handful of white stones, and stretched his clenched fist toward Mu Lingyun.

As he looked at Mu Lingyun, his eyes had a touch of coldness.

This was to guess the first move.

Mu Lingyun yawned behind her hand, then stretched out her fair hand, pinched a black stone from the bowl, and placed it on the board.

That meant she was guessing An Yun had an odd number of stones in his hand.

An Yun opened his hand, revealing he actually had two stones.

Therefore, Mu Lingyun guessed wrong, and An Yun had the black stones to play first.
