Chapter 64 -64: Duel with Master Xu Da
After teasing Li Yueyue, Long Chen and Li Yuechan left Pure Water Villa—though they didn’t actually stay for dinner.
In the car, Long Chen told Li Yuechan that he planned to leave for a few days to visit his grandfather’s hometown.
Li Yuechan bit her lower lip and said, “I actually wanted to go with you, but the Wanxing Mall project just started, and there are so many things I need to handle, so I…”
“No worries, I can go by myself,” Long Chen said with a smile.
“Alright then, just drive slowly.”
Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m not leaving right now, I’ll set out tomorrow morning.”
“Hmph, I still have to remind you in advance.”
Not long after, Long Chen dropped Li Yuechan off at Li Family’s house.
At the doorstep, Li Yuechan hesitated.
“Just say what you want to say,” Long Chen said.
“Well, you actually could stay at the house. Although we’re divorced, I can still share half the bed with you.”
Li Yuechan whispered softly.
“Forget it,” Long Chen laughed. “Once we remarry, I’ll come sleep openly in your bed.”
“You just want to go mess around with Zhao Churan, like I don’t know.”
Li Yuechan pouted, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Oh, nonsense.”
“Look at you, lacking confidence already. I don’t care, get down from the car, you’re not allowed to go anywhere tonight, you must stay with me,” Li Yuechan demanded sternly, peeking through the car window.
Because she leaned over, Long Chen accidentally glimpsed some stunning views.
Li Yuechan realized it too but didn’t cover up, just glared at Long Chen, “What are you looking at? Come down already.”
“Okay then.”
Long Chen parked the car and decided not to leave tonight. After all, Li Shiqi and his wife wouldn’t dare do anything to him at the moment.
However, before entering the Li home, Long Chen called Jiang Tong and asked her to inform the remaining people who hadn’t been treated yet to wait a few more days.

Simultaneously, Long Chen also called Zhao Churan to discuss many things.
After wrapping up those calls, Long Chen and Li Yuechan entered the home.
Seeing Long Chen coming, Li Shiqi and his wife as well as Li Yuexin were all surprised.
Later, Li Yuexin snorted coldly, still showing disdain towards Long Chen.
However, Han Min became more enthusiastic, making warm inquiries and hurrying to the kitchen to prepare some dishes.
“Long Chen, since you’re idle anyway, why don’t we play a few rounds?”
“Chess?” Long Chen asked.
“Yes.”
“Well, I guess, but truth be told, I’m pretty terrible at it,” Long Chen said with a wry smile.
He wasn’t lying; he had never won a game with various friends and classmates before.
“Oh come on, it doesn’t matter how well you play. Let’s go for a few rounds. Young people should play more chess to sharpen their wits. I could give you some tips.”
Li Shiqi said with a smile.
“Alright then,” Long Chen agreed reluctantly.
“Yuechan, go fetch the chess set.”
“Sure thing!” Li Yuechan immediately got up.
It was apparent; Li Yuechan was very happy.
Because this was exactly the scene she had imagined—Long Chen getting along harmoniously with the family, a scenario she had envisioned countless times in her heart.
Minutes later, the chessboard was set.
Li Yuechan sat next to Long Chen, planning to watch the match and secretly thinking about reminding Long Chen of a few moves to prevent a humiliating defeat.
She knew that her father had an impressive ranking on a popular chess app.
“You first, let the battle begin,” Li Shiqi said with a smile.
“Okay.”
Long Chen casually opened with a cannon shot.
Li Shiqi paused briefly, and then advanced with a knight.
This was how their showdown began.
As the game heated up, Long Chen found his state becoming more intricate.
In his mind, it was as if scenes of thousands of troops rushing in battle materialized.
And with each move Li Shiqi made, Long Chen discovered he could detect his intentions and block his moves several steps ahead.
This had put Li Shiqi in a difficult situation, feeling as if he had nowhere to start.
There were even times when the moves made by Long Chen were so advanced that Li Shiqi couldn’t understand them. Only several moves later did Li Shiqi suddenly realize, but by then it was too late. His continuous losses of troops put him at a disadvantage.
Long Chen didn’t dawdle, constantly attacking and quickly checkmated Li Shiqi.
Li Shiqi stared blankly at the chessboard, unable to believe he could lose so miserably.
Li Yuechan was also shocked; she hadn’t expected such a move from Long Chen.
Does this call “poor” playing?
“Thanks for letting me win.”
Long Chen cupped his fist with a smile.
Beneath that façade, Long Chen speculated that the extraordinary state he had just experienced was likely related to the awakening of his bloodline. Not only his senses but also his overall abilities had transformed.
Long Chen wondered if even a fool would become intelligent if their bloodline was awakened.
“Long Chen, I underestimated you just now. Let’s play again.”
Li Shiqi regained his composure and said sternly.
“Okay.”
Long Chen nodded in agreement.
Li Shiqi used to bully him a lot. Now, utilizing the art of chess, Long Chen planned to firmly suppress him and vent his anger.
As a result, Li Shiqi couldn’t win a single match out of five.
In every game, he was utterly crushed by Long Chen without the slightest ability to fight back.
After losing the fifth game, Li Shiqi completely accepted his defeat.
“You call this bad playing?”
Li Shiqi said darkly.
“Cough, just luck,” Long Chen demurred.
“I’ve noticed you seem to be able to foresee six or seven moves?” Li Shiqi asked curiously.
“Maybe,” Long Chen modestly replied.
In reality, Long Chen could calculate about twenty moves, or even more. He just feared that if he said so, Li Shiqi wouldn’t believe him.
“Long Chen, you’ve really kept your skills hidden. I never expected you to be so good at chess.”
Li Yuechan was utterly amazed.
“I really got schooled today. To be honest, I met Master Xu online once, and I didn’t lose this badly. I didn’t feel so much pressure. Kid, I think if you played a game with Master Xu, it would be very exciting.”
Li Shiqi said with a smile.
“There’s no such opportunity,” Long Chen replied.
“There is this opportunity, really. I’m friends with Master Xu. He’s currently streaming live, and he’s definitely online right now. Come, come, play a game against him.”
Li Shiqi, ever impulsive, immediately pulled out his mobile phone, opened the chess app, found his friend, and sent a challenge.
After being declined twice, Master Xu agreed to the challenge on the third request.
“Long Chen, if you can beat him, you can boast for a hundred years. Go for it.”
Li Shiqi excitedly handed the mobile phone to Long Chen.
“I’ll try my best.”
Long Chen said with a wry smile, nervously making the first move.
After all, the opponent was a world champion.
“Yuechan, quickly open the app. Watch Master Xu’s live streaming. I want to see how Master Xu reacts,” Li Shiqi whispered.
“Okay.”
Li Yuechan quickly did as Li Shiqi instructed, finding the live streaming room.
Inside the live streaming room, an elegant and learned man was playing against Long Chen through the screen, speaking in a relaxed and casual manner, “This gentleman’s moves are somewhat strange. Can’t quite make out his level yet, but since he has initiated the challenge, he must be no ordinary player. I need to handle this carefully.”
After Master Xu finished speaking, the comments below erupted wildly.
“This guy dares to challenge Master Xu; he’s tired of living.”
“Why do I kind of want to see Master Xu capsized in a sewer?”
“Challenging Master Xu? Isn’t that masochistic?”
Li Yuechan found these comments quite interesting.
Meanwhile, Long Chen was focusing intensely on the game, entering a state of self-forgetfulness.
As time passed, Master Xu’s expression on the screen gradually turned serious without him realizing.
“Now I’m certain; this gentleman is not only a master but a master among masters. His strength is no less than mine. At first glance, his style of play seems ethereal and peculiar but is secretly filled with endless lethal moves. Impressive, truly impressive.”
Master Xu thought but did not cease interacting.
Hearing this, both Li Yuechan and Li Shiqi were shocked.
