The black-clothed elder responded with a faint smile. He set down a black piece on the chessboard and casually picked up three white pieces he had captured. "Hmm, send someone to take a look. It's always a good idea."
"They say it's better to be safe than sorry. If a trivial person on the fringe spoils this entire game of chess, the loss will far outweigh the gain."
The white-clothed young man did not respond, clapping his hands instead. Immediately, a guard standing by the lake approached, moving so swiftly and silently that he seemed to have teleported.
The guard knelt on one knee and bowed with a fist-and-palm salute. "Young Master."
The white-clothed young man replied in a deep voice, "Apply some pressure on the Wang Family to send Wang Xinyao over sooner. Also, send someone to the East Sea to check on Jiang Shumo's situation."
"Yes, Young Master."
After the white-clothed young man finished speaking, the guard rose and withdrew, quickly disappearing from sight.
