Having watched the chess game for so long, Qin Han Chu felt a bit eager to play himself.
He looked at Elder Qiu and asked, "Old sir, do you play Go?"
These elders were playing Xiangqi, which prompted Qin Han Chu to ask the question.
Elder Qiu chuckled, "Of course."
"I'll go get a Go board, how about we play a few games?" Qin Han Chu smiled.
"Alright." Seeing Qin Han Chu's suggestion, Elder Qiu nodded with a smile.
Qin Han Chu turned a corner and took out the Go board during a moment when no one was around.
This was no ordinary Go board; it was a top-tier immortal artifact.
This item, when combined with formations and divine abilities, could unleash formidable combat power.
Qin Han Chu had obtained this item through killing and looting.
Returning to Elder Qiu's side, Qin Han Chu said, "Come, let's play a couple of games."
The two of them went to a pavilion and sat on the stone benches.
Qin Han Chu laid out the board and took out the black and white pieces.
Qin Han Chu had tampered with these pieces, which was why they appeared like ordinary Go stones.
If Qin Han Chu hadn't tampered with them, even a Grandmaster like Elder Qiu wouldn't have been able to lift these small pieces.
Seeing Qin Han Chu about to play Go with Elder Qiu, some of the more boisterous elders gathered around.
"Young man, my Go skills are quite formidable," Elder Qiu chuckled.
"Mine aren't weak either, don't let your guard down."
Qin Han Chu smiled, and he and Elder Qiu began to place their stones.
Initially, Elder Qiu was able to hold his own against Qin Han Chu, with the game going back and forth.
However, it wasn't long before Elder Qiu's strategy was cornered by Qin Han Chu, leaving him in a difficult predicament.
Elder Qiu frowned, deep in thought, strategizing a counterattack.
"The young man's Go skills are impressive, to push Elder Qiu into such a corner."
"Could he be from the national team?"
"Highly likely, ordinary young people wouldn't possess such formidable Go skills."
Amidst the murmuring of the onlookers, Qin Han Chu placed another stone and smiled, "I concede."
Elder Qiu glanced at the board and said dejectedly, "I lost this game, let's play again."
Qin Han Chu smiled and nodded, then tidied the board and continued to play with Elder Qiu.
They exchanged moves, engrossed in their fierce competition.
Qin Han Chu had deliberately sealed a portion of his calculation abilities to avoid being too overwhelming.
By the end of the afternoon, Qin Han Chu had won four games and lost two.
This exchange of moves left Elder Qiu feeling exhilarated.
Unbeknownst to them, it was already dusk.
Just then, two beautiful women in their mid-twenties approached.
Seeing Elder Qiu still playing Go with Qin Han Chu, Qiu Meiling, with her flowing long hair, smiled and said, "Grandpa, tonight is your birthday, why are you still playing chess? The guests are all waiting for you at home."
"Grandpa, let's go home quickly," said the other girl, Zhao Jiahan, with her bobbed hair, who was Elder Qiu's granddaughter.
Elder Qiu was somewhat reluctant, "Wait a moment longer, this game is almost over."
Seeing Elder Qiu engrossed, Qiu Meiling and Zhao Jiahan could only shake their heads helplessly.
At that moment, Qin Han Chu's gaze fell upon Qiu Meiling, and he calmly asked, "Recently, have you occasionally been experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath?"
"How did you know?"
Qiu Meiling looked at Qin Han Chu in shock. She hadn't mentioned this to anyone, not even her family knew.
Qin Han Chu had only glanced at her, and he already knew about it?
"That's a precursor to heart disease. I'll write you a prescription later, and you'll be fully recovered in three days." As he spoke, Qin Han Chu placed a stone.
Elder Qiu looked at Qin Han Chu in surprise, "Young friend, are you a doctor?"
Qin Han Chu smiled, "I have a slight understanding of the art of healing."
Elder Qiu looked at Qiu Meiling, "Why didn't you tell the family you were sick? Hurry and thank the young friend!"
"A few doses of medicine can cure it?" Although Qin Han Chu had immediately diagnosed her condition, Qiu Meiling still had some doubts about his medical skills.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you," Qin Han Chu smiled.
"Young friend, please don't be offended, this child speaks without thinking," Elder Qiu quickly said.
Qin Han Chu replied, "It's normal for you not to believe me. You can try to find other famous doctors first. If they can't help, then come to me, and it won't be too late."
"Your words are misplaced, how could we not believe you? Please, young friend, write a prescription for my granddaughter."
Although Elder Qiu wasn't entirely convinced of Qin Han Chu's medical prowess, he was a shrewd and tactful person, which was why he asked for the prescription first.
Getting the prescription now held a different significance than asking Qin Han Chu for one later.
Qin Han Chu smiled, "Let's finish the game first."
A moment later, Qin Han Chu placed another stone, "You've lost again!"
Elder Qiu looked at the board, his face filled with frustration, "Your Go skills, young friend, truly make me feel inadequate."
Qin Han Chu, while collecting the pieces, said, "Your skills are also excellent, old sir."
"How about we continue tomorrow?" Elder Qiu asked.
"I'll come again when I have time," Qin Han Chu replied.
Elder Qiu looked at Qiu Meiling, "Give your phone to the young friend, and please, young friend, write a prescription for my granddaughter."
Qin Han Chu's spiritual sense scanned several Chinese pharmacies, and he quickly learned about the medicinal herbs in this world.
Taking Qiu Meiling's phone, Qin Han Chu wrote down the prescription.
"Don't practice martial arts for the next few days. Resume your practice after taking the medicine." Qin Han Chu said as he returned the phone to Qiu Meiling.
Elder Qiu and the two women were greatly shocked by these words.
Qin Han Chu actually knew about martial arts, and he even knew that Qiu Meiling was a martial artist!
"You all can disperse now. I have a few words to discuss with the young friend," Elder Qiu said to the elders who had gathered.
These elders paid no mind to the martial arts Qin Han Chu mentioned. In their view, what Qin Han Chu referred to as martial arts was merely exercises for strengthening the body.
They were also aware of Elder Qiu's practice of martial arts.
Seeing that Elder Qiu had something to say to Qin Han Chu, the onlookers dispersed one after another.
Only then did Elder Qiu, with immense shock, ask Qin Han Chu, "Young friend, you know my granddaughter is a martial artist?"
Qin Han Chu chuckled, "Of course. I also know that you have cultivated inner strength and reached the realm of Grandmaster."
"You..."
Elder Qiu stared at Qin Han Chu in astonishment. He hadn't expected Qin Han Chu to see through his strength as well.
"I have other matters to attend to. Farewell for now."
Picking up the Go board, Qin Han Chu smiled and turned to leave.
Qin Han Chu's pace appeared slow, but in an instant, he had rounded the corner.
Only then did Elder Qiu snap out of his shock.
"This is a master. He can see through my strength, yet I cannot sense his martial arts realm," Elder Qiu said with shock.
Zhao Jiahan remarked, "Perhaps he is not a martial artist."
"Impossible, this is absolutely an extraordinary expert." Elder Qiu looked at Qiu Meiling and said, "Go for a check-up at the hospital tomorrow. I will arrange for a renowned doctor to examine you."
"Okay, I'll go for a check-up tomorrow."
Qiu Meiling had assumed her occasional discomfort was due to strenuous training, only to discover she was ill.
"Grandpa, shall we go back for the banquet now?" Zhao Jiahan said.
Elder Qiu glanced in the direction Qin Han Chu had left, "I wonder if we'll ever meet again."
