"Hahaha... I told you so, this child is quick-witted and clever. In the future, she won't embarrass you." Elder Huang seemed very pleased with Li Qianshan. If he hadn't already taken in a disciple, he would have wanted to take Li Qianshan under his wing right now.


Chu Lao smiled and said, “Come here for some tea first.”




As the crowd chatted and laughed, sipping their tea, Lee Young-sook saw that the atmosphere was just right. With a smile, she spoke up.


"Shallow has always admired your reputation and wonders if there is a chance to receive your guidance?"

"Hahaha, I don't deserve such praise....Study hard with He Bin, and you will surely achieve great things in the future."


He Bin, although a Go master, is nowhere near as good as Master Chu...


Lee Young-shuk and Li Qianqian didn't want to follow He Bin. What they wanted was to become Chu Lao's disciples, so that in the future they could stand at the highest peak and be respected by everyone.




<<"????" "Grandpa Chu..." Li Qianqian still wanted to play another round of chess with him. She had already thought up her words in her heart. "

"No, stay with them..."


"As old friends, we shouldn't part ways without a proper farewell. I wouldn't be able to bear it if I didn't see you off..."


Lee Young-suk gave Li Qianshan a look, signaling her to stop arguing, there was no chance.


After ?? and others left, Li Qianqian couldn't help but feel a little deflated.


Lee Young-Suk raised the teacup before her and took a sip slowly. "I expected Lao Chu wouldn't choose you as his successor, but I didn't expect him not to even offer any guidance. Do you know why?"


Upon hearing her mother's question, Li Qianqian shook her head. "Did I perform poorly just now?"


Li Ying-shu finished the tea in her cup and said, "To be precise, it was your performance just now that wasn't as good as Ou Yan's. Your every move wasn't enough to shake Ou Yan's position in his heart..."


It seems Song Qiao Ying's daughter is quite capable, able to earn such high regard from Old Chu.


"So, that means... Next, as long as I show up in front of him and perform a few times, someday he'll be impressed? Make him look at me with new eyes?"


"It's useless." Lee Young-suk saw through this, and poured herself another cup of tea. "We don't have to hang ourselves on this one tree, do we? Isn't there another candidate?"


"Mom, you don't mean 'no strings attached,' do you?"

"Hmm," Lee Young-shuk took a sip of tea and said softly, "In her early years, Muhyeon specialized in challenging pieces with astounding difficulty. Fast pieces under her interpretation were like raging torrents, unrestrained and powerful, while slow pieces flowed with delicate grace and touched the heart easily without being overly contrived."

The renowned violinist Heather once said that she would never perform a piece for an unstrung violin in public, because it would be humiliating. She couldn't bring out the rich emotions and clash of fire and ice from such an instrument.


"Speaking of this, Li Yusheng continued, “Many performers only focus on the superficial splendor of a piece, simply wanting to show off their technical skills. They lack deep thought and understanding. While their instrumental technique may be impressive, it lacks true artistry. She, however, has achieved mastery both technically and intellectually. That's why she can play such beautiful music...”
