Master Lu was not someone conceited, thinking her chess skills were unrivaled in the world.
Many masters had impressed her in matches; she just disliked those charlatans who hid their master's name and lied for a bit of vanity.
Being compared to such people, Master Lu felt her status was truly insulted.
Master Lu was aloof and proud in temperament, speaking with blunt honesty even with socialites like Fang Yuan, not fearing offense, "You, without reason, have eyes on your face, yet cannot distinguish right from wrong? Spouting nonsense in front of me."
Fang Yuan was baffled by the reprimand but dared not retort; the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life," so she held deep respect for her teacher.
