Kong Yinzi lost her balance and stumbled several times. After struggling to regain her footing, she glared at Luo Chen with embarrassment and anger.
Luo Chen didn't take it to heart.
"The schedule for the fourth day of the Shogi League's Dragon King Tournament has been released, and your opponent has also been revealed. His name is unknown, but he is a professional 7-dan."
"If you continue to win this time, you will receive a bye until the last round of the Dragon King Tournament group stage, where you will compete with the strongest player from another group stage for a spot in the Dragon King Challenge."
Sora changed the subject expressionlessly, making no mention of the fact that she had gotten up unusually early today.
I can't help it, I'm so restless!
But it would be too shameful to say it out loud, and Kong Yinzi would never allow such a thing to happen.
Luo Chen nodded slightly and smiled, "Is that so?"
Kong Yinzi asked, "I remember you told me last time that you could crush all professional 7th dan players now, which meant you were sure you could win this time?"
"of course."
Luo Chen was quite confident about this.
The only exception in the lower ranks is Shinko Ayumu, but Shinko Ayumu's current rank is professional sixth dan, not seventh dan.
Therefore, the professional seventh dan that Sora Ginko mentioned means that no matter who comes, he can continue to wreak havoc.
"Oh right, wasn't the Dragon King Battle supposed to start yesterday? Did your junior brother win?" Luo Chen remembered again.
With her arms crossed and her expression completely calm, Sora Ginko replied, "I lost."
"I lost as expected."
Luo Chen was not surprised.
According to the predetermined plot, Yaichi Kuzuryu won this battle by coming back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2.
They should have lost the first two games.
When is my match?
“4 p.m.,” Kong Yinzi said.
"It's alright. In that case, let's go out for a morning exercise and then have breakfast. Father has been busy outside all night, so he should be back this morning."
Luo Chen got out of bed.
Kong Yinzi's gaze shifted almost instantly to another direction.
After Luo Chen realized what was happening, he coughed awkwardly, turned around to put on his clothes, and said, "Sorry, boys are all like this in the morning. You'll get used to it."
Sora didn't answer, only muttering under her breath, "Stupid fiancé, used to you my foot," with a completely expressionless face...
After the two of them had finished getting ready.
5.3 Go out into the yard.
Shu Yinan was delivering the imperial meal when Wan Zhi left.
Kong Yinzi's eyes lit up.
Is the guy who supplies imperial meals leaving?
Luo Chen was surprised: "Is Wan Zhi leaving now? Why don't we wait a bit? Anyway, Yinzi and I are going back at noon."
"No, I'm heading back to Kyoto right now."
Manji, who was serving food, smiled and explained.
Shu Yinan joked, "When you come back next time, Little Magic will have an extra title on his head for eternity."
Luo Chen immediately understood.
Machi is returning to Kyoto to participate in her sixth "Yamashiro Sakura" official ranking battle.
With this latest victory, marking her sixth consecutive win in this title, she will undoubtedly become the second female Go player in history to hold a permanent title!

Chapter 117 Huh? What's Senior Brother holding in his arms? ...
Luo Chen and Kong Yinzi waited at home for the entire morning, even finding all the pastry recipes that Qian Jiubo Momo had asked for, but their father still didn't come back.
It was lunchtime.
Since Wan Zhi, who was in charge of preparing the royal meals, was not around, and there was no one to help, Shu Yinan was unwilling to do it herself. She asked the steward to instruct the cook to prepare a larger and more sumptuous meal.
"It seems the Shinomiya family's situation is a bit tricky. Let's eat. After we finish, you should go back. Let's leave it at that."
Shu Yinan rolled her eyes and said.
"Are you sure you don't need to worry?" Luo Chen asked.
"No need, your father knows what he's doing. Besides, even the Shinomiya family can't just bully people, right? Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, and Adachi Ward isn't an ordinary place." Shu Yinan seemed completely unconcerned.
This sentence is indeed correct.
As the largest region for shogi (Japanese chess) cultural exchange in Japan, many factors here are complex.
With a group of highly influential professional Go players, even the Shinomiya family cannot interfere without restraint.
Luo Chen also felt that there was no use in worrying for the time being, and that his father would definitely be able to handle these things, so he stopped thinking about it.
02 I had a wonderful lunch.
To be honest, today's lunch was better than yesterday's dinner.
After all, a professional chef prepared lunch today, unlike an amateur like Shu Yinan. Of course, he and Kong Yinzi could only think about it in their hearts, but they couldn't actually go out.
After lunch, Shu Yinan personally saw the two out.
For Shu Yinan, this was definitely a well-intentioned gesture, considering that the ten-minute journey had taken up her mahjong time.
The only one who suffers is the one with empty pockets.
It's not good to directly show your physical weakness in front of your elders, lest you make Shu Yinan even more displeased.
Therefore, you can't use the sun umbrella, but you still have to keep walking.
When Shu Yinan saw the two of them off, Luo Chen saw Kong Yinzi fall straight onto him.
Luo Chen helped his fiancée up.
"Are you alright?" Luo Chen blinked.
"Hmm..." Sora opened her eyes and glanced at him. After confirming that she hadn't been thrown into the wrong place, she didn't want to talk and closed her eyes again.
Luo Chen chuckled to himself.
"Young Master, do you need my help?"
The old butler drove the car over and asked with concern.
"No need, just open the car door and I'll carry her in."
Luo Chen bent down slightly, slipped his right hand under Kong Yinzi's legs, and lifted her up.
The back seat of the car wasn't very long, so if Kong Yinzi lay down completely flat, he wouldn't have anywhere to sit. He simply let Kong Yinzi continue lying on him, her little feet stretched out to the opposite side.
At this moment, Luo Chen was still a little hesitant, thinking that it would be fine to turn around, let Kong Yinzi lie on the back seat, and then let her put her black silk-stockinged little feet on him.
"Pooh!"
Luo Chen was startled by his own thoughts and quickly shook his head.
“Ah…”
"Excuse me, please wait a moment!"
A soft call came from outside the car.
If Luo Chen hadn't had such keen hearing, he would have already urged the old butler to drive away.
"and many more."
Luo Chen stopped the old butler from driving. After rolling down the car window, he saw the young lady outside, bent over and panting.
“Chitanda…?” Luo Chen blinked in confusion.
"Yes, it is."
Chitanda Eru nodded, handed over a small gift, bowed and said, "I'm so sorry, I promised Manji I would make rice balls for you sooner, but I kept putting it off until now, and we almost didn't make it in time."
"Rice balls? Magic: The Gathering?"
Luo Chen was a little confused.
Chitanda Eru explained the whole story in detail.
Luo Chen then realized that it was because Yugomi Machi had asked Chitanda, who was skilled in cooking, to make a rice ball yesterday, and then give it to Luo Chen as a gift.
However, when Chitanda Eru finished making the offering, she found that Machi had already left, so she had to run all the way and barely caught up with Luo Chen who was about to leave.
"I see, thank you, you've worked hard."
Luo Chen accepted the gift, but seeing the young lady's polite manner, he felt it would have been more polite to get out of the car and accept it with both hands.
