Xiao Jianli thought for a moment and agreed reluctantly.
This prestigious master of the Go world—Master Jing—was indeed highly respected and revered in the field of Go. But, well, his personality was explosive and eccentric, notoriously difficult to deal with.
How difficult?
It was to the point where he had no discernible patterns in his words and actions—he spoke whenever he wanted to and did whatever he felt like. Outsiders trying to curry favor with him often couldn't figure out where to even start.
At the same time, he was theatrical in nature. One moment, he'd be laughing heartily, and the next, if someone said something wrong and stepped on one of his triggers, he'd flip out right then and there. He cared not one bit about the person's status or the occasion—if he wanted to lose his temper, he would.
There were, in fact, several times when he caused quite a scene.
That said, once you earned Master Jing's approval, he would be incredibly protective of his own.
