The Chess Demon squinted and naturally guessed Ye Chen's plan. He chuckled and said, "Honored Guest is young and strong. I am old, and when it comes to strategy and mental realm, I probably can't compare with the Honored Guest. Please, Honored Guest, play Black first, and I will take White and go second."
The Chess Demon didn't want to take Black because the burden of starting first was too heavy and didn't compare to the advantage of playing second with White.
Ye Chen laughed, "The elder is joking. The elder's cultivation is profound, how can I compare? Please, elder, be generous and let me play White."
The Chess Demon's face darkened, "Honored Guest insists on competing?"
Ye Chen said, "I wouldn't dare."
The Chess Demon chuckled, "Since the Honored Guest insists on not yielding, let's guess. You guess if the number of my children and grandchildren is odd or even."
"If you guess correctly, you take Black."
