Taihao Sect, Purple Bamboo Mountain Daoist School.
At Jueqiu Pavilion, a Daoist Nun with a kind countenance was playing a game of chess with a Ruya Daoist whose Daoist bun was tied high.
After a long moment, the Daoist Nun's expression shifted. As her fingers turned to place a piece, just as it was about to settle on the board, the Ruya Daoist suddenly laughed heartily, waved his horsetail whisk, and disrupted the board, saying, "Sister Qingyao is brilliant. Let's call this game a draw."
The Daoist Nun didn't seem angry but showed faint helplessness in her eyes and said, "Senior Brother, with you disarranging the board every time, how can there ever be a victor?"
The Ruya Daoist remained indifferent, his words layered with meaning as he said, "Those who play chess are ultimately confined by the board. Sister, if you can step out of this chess game and open your heart, you'll find boundless horizons."
