An old man and a cat walked alone on the long street.
"Master, what does it mean to 'use a lone piece to slay a dragon'?" the cat asked.
"It's a risky strategy in chess, where you use a single isolated piece to take down your opponent's main force. It's a desperate move, full of danger, but it can lead to victory if done right," the old man, Master Yao, replied as he slowly walked along the cobblestone road, holding the black cat named Wuyun.
"Chen Ji's chess style is like that, and so is his way of life. People often say that you can judge a person by how they play chess, and there's some truth to that."
Master Yao sighed.
"If nothing changes this time, Jin Zhu is going to be completely outmaneuvered by Chen Ji."
"You seem to know Jin Zhu quite well? You even know about his cultivation methods. I heard Chen Ji say that you should never let others know your cultivation methods, or it could lead to disaster."
Master Yao thought for a moment.
"Not really. I just happened to see him grow from a chubby kid to a big man, from a naive youngster to the person he is now."
Wuyun suddenly spoke up.
"Master, Chen Ji said you have many secrets."
Master Yao chuckled.
"Me? What did he say?"
Wuyun hesitated.
"Can I tell you?"
Master Yao also hesitated.
"Did he tell you not to say anything?"
"No."
"Then it's fine to tell me."
Wuyun nodded.
