Chapter 1485: Chapter 830 Worth Challenging_2

Won’t you help out here? That does seem a bit improper, doesn’t it?

But I also feel that big brother managing to say what he just did was already beyond the call of duty; he has no obligation to say anything else here.

After a moment, Qin Yuan still slowly sat down.

Contemplating the chess game at hand.

Even though I haven’t touched Chinese chess in over a decade, my skills were actually quite impressive.

They haven’t deteriorated to a horrifying extent and are formidable enough to earn Qin Yuan’s respect.

After a while, Qin Yuan opened his mouth directly.

"Baldy, I think your chess skills are very good now, even though I can tell you haven’t played Chinese chess for many years."

"But if you’re willing to practice, you will definitely have the strength to hold your ground here, and you can even compete against me."

Qin Yuan didn’t really mean anything by it; it just occurred to him at that moment.

So he emphasized it here, not intending to help Baldy.

We’ve come to this point already; how could we think of giving Baldy a leg up? I don’t have the capacity for that.

Even if I did have the capacity, I couldn’t help, because once I helped, that would mean going against Crescent.

And Crescent is on her last move; if I went against her now, that would be somewhat unreasonable.

It would force Crescent to make some excessive moves, so it’s better to stay calm at the moment.

Qin Yuan is still very clear-headed.

But Baldy sees this as an opportunity, his eyes immediately lit up, and he seized it right away.

"Big brother, do you think so too? You’re really too kind to me. I just thought my chess was terrible."

"But hearing your compliment, I feel like I can still salvage it, and I’ll definitely learn Chinese chess well in the future."

"If possible, I would even like to participate in international competitions, but that seems a bit far-fetched right now."

Indeed, talking about it now is somewhat far-fetched, and he never really thought about playing in international competitions. How could he possibly play?

Does he have the strength? Besides, it’s been more than a decade since he last played Chinese chess, it’s unthinkable.

He was just stalling for time; I wonder if big brother has noticed.

Or, having noticed, would he still let him compete in the tournament?

Baldy dares not think about the consequences.

He took a deep breath and firmly didn’t say another word.

After a while, Crescent spoke up directly.

"I don’t want you to change the subject in front of me. If I say something here, you should follow along; don’t make me wait too long."

"And don’t make me feel any discomfort. If I feel any discomfort, I’ll break it off with you right here."

"And then cut ties as thoroughly as necessary; this is my bottom line and also what I hope you will respect. Don’t trample on my bottom line."

From the tone of her voice, it’s easy to tell Crescent is a bit angry.

But in reality, Crescent is not angry, she is just pretending to be.

Simply to intimidate them for a while.

Qin Yuan instantly understood Crescent’s intention, and then he began to answer insincerely.

"Actually, you’re quite right. I shouldn’t have changed the subject at this time. I am indeed wrong, so I am here now to apologize to you."

Crescent quickly revealed a slight smile, seemingly accepting the apology.

Qin Yuan thought she was being too unreserved.

Couldn’t she pretend to be a bit more upset before accepting the apology?

Wouldn’t everyone see through it?

Qin Yuan felt uncertain, so he scanned the people present with a calm gaze.

Finding no excessive expressions on their faces, he felt very reassured.

At this moment, Baldy also immediately lowered his eyes.

"I am really sorry, I indeed did not consider this point just now, but now that you’ve said that, it’s brought me to my senses."

"I was truly deserving of a beating just now and what I did was very wrong. I am sincerely apologizing to you now, hoping you can forgive me."

"If you can’t forgive me, I will do everything to compensate you, and not let you feel disappointed."

Baldy felt his words were futile, but how would he know without trying?

Maybe, just maybe, things could change and he wouldn’t have to feel so much pain.

So Baldy already had some expectations at this point.

Moon Crescent truly didn’t speak and wasn’t at all interested in hearing any of this, rather, she seemed keen on tormenting the bald man a bit more.

She also wanted the bald man to pay a price; if not, this matter would truly never end.

Qin Yuan understood Moon Crescent’s intention, so he began to mull over this chess game.

The bald man instantly had to sit on the ground, looking truly feeble.

Seeing this scene, not a trace of sympathy showed on Moon Crescent’s face.

She appeared very calm indeed.

The bald man took a deep breath, but still started to speak slowly.

"Moon Crescent, I’ve realized my mistake. I should never have tried to stop you from the start, nor should I have said so much to you."

"I really feel that I’ve made a huge mistake. You definitely can’t forgive me for this action, but I still want to ask for your forgiveness here."

"As long as you forgive me, then I won’t feel so scared and worried, and I’ll be very happy indeed."

As his words fell, the bald man received no response whatsoever.

Silence spread between them.

Qin Yuan subconsciously glanced at Ling Yu.

"Let’s continue playing chess," he said.

"Of course, I’ve been standing here quite a while; it’s finally my turn. I thought it wouldn’t come to me this soon."

Ling Yu felt a bit excited.

After all, he had just wanted to play chess, only feeling that he hadn’t yet gotten the opportunity.

It seems now the opportunity had come, filling him with immense joy.

As long as the opportunity was there, that was enough.

Ling Yu already sat down, without any hesitation.

Brother Shan felt a bit envious.

But he didn’t say anything; it was only the look in his eyes that showed it.

Soon, his expression returned to calm, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.

After a while, Qin Yuan couldn’t help but speak.

"Kid, why did you make your move there?"

"Of course, I have my reasoning."

"Are you not playing by the rules?"

"That’s right."

Hearing this, Qin Yuan didn’t say anything further and continued to play chess.

Ling Yu was also playing by his side.

Although Brother Shan didn’t pay any attention to the bald man, his expression turned exceptionally serious as he took a deep breath.

He didn’t utter a single word; he wanted to help the bald man too.

But what could he do now? Did he think a few words could actually help the bald man?

Moon Crescent would never take his words to heart, so saying anything was pointless.

Better not to waste effort unnecessarily, as it would have no meaning at all.

It was up to the bald man himself now.

Black Bear was also thinking along the same lines as Brother Shan.

They were both on the same page.

After a moment, the bald man quickly thought of a good idea.

"Right, let’s do it this way; I’ll now make a suggestion. If I hold your daughter and make her happy,"

"then you can forgive me. As long as you choose to forgive me, I’ll be here to thank you. Would you consider my proposal?"

"After all, your daughter is very scared of me, so I still want to give it a shot. There might actually be a possibility."

This idea was conceived in a rush and he didn’t know whether it could actually be implemented.

The most important thing was to see what Moon Crescent thought; her decision was now crucial.

As long as Moon Crescent agreed, there would be no issues; he was just afraid she wouldn’t.

The bald man began to hope.

Hearing this, Qin Yuan, however, felt the bald man still had some brains.

It indeed warranted a challenge.
