Zhuge Lin's apology, though lacking sincerity, was enough to appease Su Luo and La Wenwen, who were reasonable people. They wouldn't leverage Jing Master and Lu Mian's influence to make unreasonable demands of the Chess Academy.
"Jing Master, Lu Mian, do you want to return to the Chess Academy or continue playing here?" Su Luo asked.
Jing Pei, lacking decisiveness, turned to Lu Mian for direction.
Zhuge Heng was utterly puzzled and sweating nervously.
What was going on?
Why was everyone so deferential to Lu Mian?
He mulled over the possible reasons again and again, finally reaching an epiphany.
It had to be because Lu Mian was Xiao Family's Mo Ye's girlfriend—otherwise, why would Jing Master treat her with such respect?
How could a young girl like Lu Mian command this much influence?
Was it really because she won that chess match?
No way. Jing Master must have known the truth all along!
