As soon as Mo Xia returned to his room, he pulled out the chessboard and said to Jiang Beiran, "Senior Brother! The opponent I faced today was so strong! He—" "Let's discuss it later.
I need to step out first."
"Huh!?"
Mo Xia's expression froze instantly. On the way back, he had deliberately kept quiet the entire time so his senior brother could properly "take a stroll," thinking they could immediately play chess upon returning. But now, his senior brother wanted to go out again.
"Review the game yourself first. I'll be back soon."
Ruffling Mo Xia's hair, Jiang Beiran turned and pushed the door open to leave. By a small pond, Jiang Beiran signaled Wu Qingce to stop and stepped forward to ask, "What is it?" Earlier, as soon as Jiang Beiran had returned to his room, he sensed the profound energy Wu Qingce was emitting, knowing the latter had something to discuss.
"Senior Brother, have you watched Mu Yao's matches yet?"
"I have."
"She's so fast! And her attacks are incredibly sharp. No one has lasted more than five moves against her so far."
"Scared?"
"It's not that I'm scared... It's just—" Seeing Wu Qingce hesitate, Jiang Beiran said, "Want me to give you some pointers?"
Wu Qingce's eyes immediately lit up.
"Yes!"
"Keep dreaming. Work hard on your own. I'm leaving."
