Chapter 65 Master Disappointed
In the lounge of the VIP room of the Go exchange meeting, Master Ma sat in his seat, looking at the watch on his wrist from time to time.
The place where the exchange meeting is held is a bit far away. It takes more than an hour to arrive here from Geng Rui's school.
Geng Rui said that he rushed here as soon as school was over at noon, and estimated the time, it should be almost here by now.
Master Ma immediately got up and wanted to go out to meet him.
No way, he was really curious about that magical female classmate Geng Rui was talking about.
Master Ma's disciples saw their teacher get up, although they didn't know what it was, they also got up.
However, within a few steps, the road ahead was blocked.
I saw Mr. Gu surrounded by his apprentices, walking towards him.
Master Ma immediately frowned, he never liked this person.
Teacher Gu's name was Gu Zhengtian, and he relied on himself as the successor of Yan Wuming's disciple. In the circle, he has always been arrogant.
You must know that in the Imperial Go circle, there are many people who study Yan Wuming's chess skills, and even Master Ma is a fan of Yan Wuming.
However, not everyone is qualified to call themselves the successor of Yan Wuming.
However, the Gu Zhengtian in front of him is fine, and his name is justified.
Both are highly respected seniors in the Go world. Over the years, Gu Zhengtian and Master Ma will inevitably meet each other on the field.
The records of the two are similar, so everyone always likes to compare the two.
Naturally, the relationship between the two is also at a standstill, and the apprentices of the two are also at odds with each other.
Even now that Master Ma has retired, the relationship between the two sides has not been eased.
In fact, Master Ma didn't want to be as knowledgeable as Gu Zhengtian. However, Gu Zhengtian always likes to be provocative, and he has repeatedly humiliated him because he is the successor of Yan Wuming.
At this moment, when people from both sides meet again, they are naturally extremely jealous.
Compared with their respective apprentices who were on edge, the two masters seemed much calmer.
After all, the two have seen each other a lot on the field, and now the comparison is not about momentum, but mentality.
"Hey, isn't this Master Ma? You've already retired, and you still have time to attend the professional chess exchange meeting." Gu Zhengtian said eccentrically.
Master Ma chuckled lightly, shaking the folding fan in his hand, "I've retired, so aren't all my apprentices still here. These monkey cubs have done well in this year's promotion competition, so my old man is here to have fun."
Hearing this, Gu Zhengtian's eyebrows darkened.
In this year's promotion competition, among Master Ma's apprentices, two of them rose to the eighth dan, and the most important thing is, one of them rose to the ninth dan!
The rest of the apprentices also achieved very good grades, with an average of 6th Dan.
As for his apprentices, only one person managed to squeeze into the eighth dan, and there was not even a shadow of the ninth dan.
Comparing the results of the two sides, it is clear that they are superior or inferior.
"Our good grades are inseparable from the teacher's careful teaching." The person who spoke was Master Ma's senior apprentice who had just been assigned a ninth dan. After speaking, the senior apprentice looked at Gu Zhengtian, "If Mr. Gu is fine, please Please let me go, the teacher is going out."
Gu Zhengtian originally wanted to use the pretext of retiring to taunt Master Ma, but he didn't expect that he would be taunted instead.
He glared at the disappointing apprentice behind him angrily, and turned slightly sideways, "The exchange meeting is about to start, I wonder where Master Ma is going?"
Master Ma smiled politely, as long as Gu Zhengtian doesn't act like a monster, he is still willing to have a good talk with this person, "Go and pick up a child."
Hearing this, Gu Zhengtian seemed to have thought of something, and turned his body upright again, with a teasing face, "Oh, by the way, I heard that Master Ma is teaching a student who is still studying recently? Is that student named Geng Rui?"
"That's right." Master Ma did not evade this matter, and in his capacity, many people were paying attention to his movements. It was no secret that he taught Geng Rui how to play chess.
Gu Zhengtian raised his eyebrows, "Coincidentally, I also taught a student who happens to be in the same school as Geng Rui."
Master Ma didn't take it seriously, and nodded, "Really, that's a coincidence. The person I'm going to pick up happens to be Geng Rui."
"Oh? Master Ma, I didn't expect that. You are a majestic master, and you condescend to pick up a student who is not even an amateur player? Yes, I know that the Geng family is very rich, and their relatives are the imperial capital Lin Family. So, you are bending your waist for money?" Gu Zhengtian said loudly without any scruples.
The sound quickly attracted the attention of other people in the lounge, and they cast their gazes in this direction.
Master Ma bowed his waist for money?
And this?
Behind him, Master Ma's disciples were all unhappy, "You are not allowed to say that about Teacher!"
"My teacher is right, you are bent on money!" Gu Zhengtian's apprentice replied.
The two sides were at war again, Master Ma waved his fan to signal the disciples behind him not to quarrel, and then looked at Gu Zhengtian, "The reason why I went to pick up Geng Rui is because Geng Rui will bring a wizard here today."
After all, Master Ma took out the chess record and put it in front of Gu Zhengtian.
"Strange..." Before Gu Zhengtian finished speaking, he was attracted by the chess record, his eyes became more and more straight, and finally he couldn't help saying, "Ah, a wonderful hand!"
"You can see that it's a good hand. Geng Rui said that this chess was casually mentioned by a female classmate in his class. If it's not a genius, what is it?" Master Ma explained.
The person who can play this chess move is indeed a genius.
"I'm quite interested in such a genius, and I took her under my wing." Master Ma said with longing.
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were amazed.
There are very few female players in the Go circle, and Master Ma doesn't even have a single female student. It is true that today's society places too many restrictions on women. They have no way to show themselves in the Go circle, so in order to avoid trouble, Master Ma never accepts female disciples.
Gu Zhengtian nodded, and then smiled complacently, "However, Master Ma may be disappointed today."
"How do you say that?" Master Ma frowned.
Gu Zhengtian smiled complacently, "I heard that the boy from the Geng family had no interest in playing chess at first, and it was all because of a girl named Shang Yufei in his class. Because Shang Yufei likes to play chess, and she is quite accomplished. , that's why he learns to play chess. I think the female classmate you mentioned should be Shang Yufei. It just so happens that Shang Yufei is officially my student."
Compared with Gu Zhengtian's attention to Master Ma, Master Ma is devoted to Go and has no intention of paying attention to other things at all. Naturally, he didn't know that Gu Zhengtian also had amateur students.
Moreover, this student is still the genius he has been thinking about!
Immediately, a strong sense of disappointment swept Master Ma's heart.
