Yi Lin stepped forward for a closer look.
He found that this chess game had actually already been finished.
Silently, he stepped forward and carefully tidied up each chess piece, separating black from white, and placing them back into the bowls in front of the two players.
Yi Lin completed the entire process, meticulously performing the surface-level tasks, taking about ten minutes.
Gong Yanghei sighed softly and tossed the black piece between his fingers into the bowl beside him.
Gong Yangbai made the same gesture.
From start to finish, both of them silently watched Yi Lin cleaning up the chess pieces, and only after Yi Lin was done did they both speak simultaneously:
"You want to go to Fangyuan Mountain?"
Yi Lin nodded.
"Such a pity,"
"Such a pity."
At this moment,
Yi Lin had not yet responded.
A snow-white Immortal Crane circled down from above and landed outside the door.
The Immortal Crane bowed its head, preening and posing, seemingly waiting.
