Xu Lai looked at Ruan Lan with a skeptical gaze. "You?"
He couldn't help shaking his head. "No wonder Dongli is the runner-up every year."
Ruan Lan was frustrated but couldn't retort. If it weren't for the tradition of 'seniors leading juniors' in the annual competition, where third and fourth-year students mentor a first or second-year junior, how could Ruan Lan, a mere amateur 4-dan, ever get the chance to participate? The Dongli University Go Society was simply getting worse with each passing year!
"This year's competition is being hosted by Dongli University, so we absolutely can't afford to lose," Ruan Lan said, biting her lip and looking pitifully at Xu Lai. "Brother-in-law..."
"Fine, I'll casually teach you a few moves," Xu Lai said offhandedly. "Pay attention, I'm only teaching this once."
He waved his hand, and the black and white stones on the nine floating Go boards neatly separated.
On the first board, the first black stone landed on the Heavenly Origin point.
