Chapter 1458: Chapter 817: Is There an Antidote?

Qin Yuan finished speaking and gave them a calm glance.

Shan Ge was momentarily stunned.

He didn’t expect that Qin Yuan would actually invite them to play chess.

Was it to signify an end to the previous chaos by playing chess with them, so that there wouldn’t be any more commotion?

If that was really the case, then he must be quite remarkable.

The topic shift was also handled quite nicely.

And it did feel like a bit of the tension was released just now.

It indeed wasn’t as uncomfortable anymore.

At this moment, Ling Yu displayed a faint smile on his face and readily agreed.

"Of course, I’ve been wanting to play chess with you from the beginning, just didn’t have the chance yet."

After all, it is true that they were playing chess from the start, but the pieces were just scattered all over the ground.

Now the pieces are still all over the ground, and no one has picked them up, so who will pick them up next?

It was Baldy who knocked over the pieces, so should Baldy be picking them up?

But it’s still uncertain, after all, they know very well what kind of person Baldy is.

How could he possibly start acting? He might even find excuses.

Thinking this, Ling Yu then subtly observed Baldy.

He found that Baldy’s expression became very solemn, he really hadn’t thought about picking up the chess pieces from the ground.

After a short while, Hei Xiong spoke up.

"Why don’t you two play a game first, I’m really curious to see how you play, it seemed quite fun when you first started playing."

Both of them were well-matched in this respect, but throughout the process, Ling Yu would definitely lose.

As just mentioned before.

If mentioned once, then there wouldn’t be any exceptions now.

It’s just a game after all.

It’s nothing serious.

Hei Xiong thought to himself.

Qin Yuan glanced at Baldy and Shan Ge and noticed that neither of them responded.

Only these two didn’t respond, the others had already responded.

If they still don’t respond, then the game of chess couldn’t continue.

They needed everyone’s consensus since it started with just two players.

But a consensus must be reached; otherwise, how can they proceed with the game?

Qin Yuan’s eyes suddenly narrowed. Was Shan Ge still unwilling to step down graciously?

He had already provided an opportunity to resolve the matter graciously, hoping Shan Ge would take it.

If not, then he was mistaken.

Just then, Ling Yu spoke up.

"Didn’t you say you invited us to play chess? Let’s start then."

This was directed at Qin Yuan, recognizing the gravity of the situation.

So, shifting the topic here since the contract had been signed,

and he was already recognized as the elder brother, there was not much else to say.

There was a contract as proof, and even if Shan Ge and Baldy didn’t play chess, it wouldn’t matter.

Although Ling Yu thought this, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

Observing every move Qin Yuan made,

Qin Yuan was of course aware that Ling Yu was trying to lighten the mood, showing no signs of surprise on his face.

He appeared very calm, then slowly made a statement.

"Alright, let’s play chess then."

After saying that, they really started to prepare to act, but Qin Yuan glanced at the scattered pieces on the ground.

Qin Yuan’s eyes suddenly darkened, not wanting to say a word, yet still maintaining calmness.

However, Ling Yu considered this and immediately cleared his throat.

"Didn’t expect the chess pieces to be all over the place, how about we pick them up together? As long as they are picked up,"

"it will be quickly tidied up. So, there’s no need to feel any which way. After all, it’s also because of us that they were knocked over."

"It’s time to pick them up, this also brings things full circle, after all, we have to finish what we started, can’t act as if nothing happened."

Ling Yu was hinting at Baldy in this shadowy manner.

Even though he wasn’t looking directly at Baldy while saying this, his gaze was pretty clear.

Then his gaze slowly shifted away from Qin Yuan, with no replies from Ling Yu.

Baldy had seen the scattered chess pieces, and indeed, it was him who had knocked them over.

He certainly bore some responsibility, but now, it really was tough to swallow his pride.

But Ling Yu suggested picking up the chess pieces together, which didn’t seem too bad.

As long as he wasn’t the only one picking up the pieces, since he still had some support.

Thinking this, Baldy nodded.

"Okay, let’s pick them up together."

Ling Yu immediately went to pick up the chess pieces.

But among them, there were also Go pieces.

There were two types of chess pieces.

They surely needed sorting soon, as things were quite messy, if not sorted, it would be really hard to separate them.

At this moment, Qin Yuan also immediately bent down and began to pick up the chess pieces from the ground.

Shan Ge seeing this, widened his eyes in surprise, seemingly incredulous.

Did not see that coming?

This guy actually went directly to pick up the chess pieces, not feeling it was beneath him?

After all, he’s now the elder brother, didn’t expect him to be so magnanimous, seems like it was really a narrow vision on my part.

Shouldn’t sweat the small stuff, moreover, he invited them to play chess.
