Chapter 1002: Chapter 102: Where there is a will to condemn, there is always an excuse (2nd Update) Chapter 1002: Chapter 102: Where there is a will to condemn, there is always an excuse (2nd Update) Tian Zhao Chess Academy occupied an extensive area, divided into an inner and outer court.

The Listening Chess Pavilion was located between the two courts and served as the place where the academy’s elders convened.

At this mont, outside the Listening Chess Pavilion, a crowd bustled.

Word about the incident outside had spread throughout the entire academy, drawing countless disciples to witness the commotion.

“Hey, is that the one who defeated Brother Jing? He looks so young!” soone exclaid.

Before the words had completely left his mouth, soone nudged him and hissed, “Shush, keep it down! If Great Brother Jing hears you, you’re going to be in big trouble.”

The speaker imdiately clamped his mouth shut, daring not to utter another word.

This reaction was indicative of how formidable Jing Tianrui appeared in the eyes of these junior brothers and sisters.

Upon entering the Listening Chess Pavilion, five high stools were arranged against the wall, with only a white-haired, elderly man seated in the middle.

When Jing Tianrui saw the old man, the arrogance on his face subsided substantially, and he greeted respectfully, “Uncle Master!”

The old man, who had been sipping tea, did not react to the greeting.

It wasn’t until after a while that he leisurely lifted his head to glance at Jing Tianrui, then turned his gaze towards Xue An and Zhuge Xuanqing.

Zhuge Xuanqing’s complexion paled slightly, feeling the old man’s gaze as sharp as a knife, and she involuntarily took a half step back.

The old man revealed an elusive smile, but Xue An quietly stepped forward, placing himself in front of Zhuge Xuanqing.

Seeing this, the old man’s expression turned to one of surprise, followed by a cold voice, “Are you the one accused of cheating in today’s chess competition?”

Xue An smiled faintly, “When one wants to lay bla, what lack is there of excuses? What, have you already concluded that I cheated without any proof?”

“Insolent! How dare you speak to the Great Elder with such disrespect!” shouted a guard standing by the old man, prepared to unleash his anger.

The Great Elder waved his hand and then, with a sinister stare at Xue An, said, “Young man, quite sharp-tongued indeed, but don’t forget, this is the Chess Academy!”

“And what of it? Is it forbidden for others to speak here?” Xue An said calmly.

“Hmph!” The Great Elder, clearly annoyed, let out a cold huff, but suddenly, his tone changed, and he turned to Zhuge Xuanqing with a slight smile.

“Miss Zhuge, it’s been three years, and your chess skills have improved considerably. The Zhuge Family truly lives up to its na as a chess powerhouse, with successors all being outstanding figures of the present age!”

His words were extrely polite, and Zhuge Xuanqing politely replied, “Thank you for the praise, Elder Gu.”

Elder Gu chuckled, “But I wonder where your prodigy of a brother is now? It’s been five or six years since I last heard any news of him!”

Zhuge Xuanqing’s face turned pale, and she said softly, “My brother has gone to seek the ultimate truths of chess and has not yet returned.”

“Oh, is that so!” Elder Gu nodded his head.

“Your brother was quite the young hero back in the day. His quest for the ultimate truths of chess is bound to bear fruit, and the Zhuge Family will surely see the ergence of another chess power!”

Zhuge Xuanqing felt bewildered.

The Zhuge Family and Tian Zhao Chess Academy could be considered archenemies. Her brother, Zhuge Banzang, had suppressed Tian Zhao Chess Academy and kept them from raising their heads for decades; surely everyone there hated the Zhuge Family.

Yet, now, to hear Elder Gu’s words filled with praise, what did this an?

Could it be that the people of Tian Zhao Chess Academy had changed their ways?

This question perplexed Zhuge Xuanqing.

anwhile, Xue An suddenly laughed, “But I reckon, this Miss Zhuge’s brother… might find it quite difficult to return!”

These words, shocking as a bolt from the blue, made Zhuge Xuanqing tremble, “Mr. Xue, what do you an by that?”

“What do I an… perhaps that’s a question for the venerable elder of this Chess Academy! Right?” Xue An said with a smirk, looking at Elder Gu.

Elder Gu’s eyes flickered, but he quickly regained composure and scoffed, “Young man, you’ve yet to clear up your own issues, and you’re trying to divert attention with such a clumsy excuse?”

Xue An applauded lightly and sighed, “It’s truly impressive that you can co up with such a good excuse in such a short ti!”

“Insolent!”

“Audacious!”

A chorus of scolding rang out, one after another, within the hall.

Xue An remained unmoved, his gaze coldly fixed on the ancient elder seated at a distance.

The ancient elder’s complexion darkened gradually, just as he was about to speak.

From the void, a woman’s cold laughter was heard, “I’m quite curious to see who would dare cheat in the grand chess competition.”

Following her words, several figures began to gradually materialize on the high-legged chairs against the wall.

And leading them was an enchantingly beautiful woman.

Upon seeing these people, Jing Tianrui and the others promptly paid their respects.

“Greetings to Elder Dai, Elder Yuan, Elder Cheng!”

Even the ancient elder who had been seated there stood up, “Sister, my fellow brothers!”

Indeed.

It was several elders from the Tian Zhao Chess Institute who had arrived.

Their arrival made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly grow tense.

Dai Qinxin, the First Great Elder, sized up Xue An with an amused look in her eyes, and after a long while, she sneered, “Kid, are you the one who cheated in the chess competition?”

Her question brought complete silence over the crowd.

Xue An showed no expression and rely stood there, casting a dismissive glance at the newly arrived elders, “What if I say I haven’t cheated?”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Jing Tianrui was the first to jump out, then turned to the elders onstage with a salute.

“My lords, this guy had no reputation before but managed to fight against the six of us alone during the competition and even erged completely victorious. Doesn’t that seem suspicious?”

“Oh? Is that so?” Elder Dai’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Exactly! And now we have recorded the water screen as evidence!”

With that, Jing Tianrui displayed a water screen image, which was indeed the scene of Xue An’s ga against the six of them.

As they saw Xue An playing against Jing Tianrui and the others in six distinct styles and winning,

Elder Dai’s expression gradually beca severe, “This… how do you explain this?”

Xue An laughed, “Explain? They lacked skill and were defeated by . Does that really need an explanation?”

“Nonsense, if you really had such ability, why were you unknown before? Don’t tell you disdain fa and fortune, heh! Even the elders could not win against the six of us ninth-dan chess masters at the sa ti, let alone an ordinary person with no reputation or foundation?” Jing Tianrui said, with a face full of hatred.

His series of questions drew everyone’s attention to Xue An.

Even Zhuge Xuanqing showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Indeed!

The mysteries surrounding Mr. Xue were nurous. If he truly possessed such formidable strength, why then was he completely unknown before?

Under everyone’s gaze, Xue An remained silent, head bowed.

Seeing his behavior, Jing Tianrui grew even more triumphant.

“What’s the matter? Run out of things to say?”

The elders of the chess institute glanced at each other, and then Elder Dai, sitting in the main seat, was about to speak.

But it was at that mont that Xue An chuckled softly, “I finally understand… where R’s despicable nature cos from!”

His voice was quiet, many didn’t quite catch what he said.

Jing Tianrui was montarily stunned, then responded with a sinister tone, “Mr. Xue, still trying to fabricate excuses?”

Xue An slowly raised his head to look at Jing Tianrui and spoke lightly, “I have just one question for you now, how does it feel to use wisdom plundered from others?”
