"Thank you," Fang Joshua said, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he finally stood.
Fang Yuan chuckled lightly. "Tell me—how did you come across this game? It's my first time seeing this game."
Fang Joshua stiffened inside. The Clan Head must be joking, right? He handled the board like a real master. There's no way this is his first time. Is he perhaps… testing my honesty?
With a careful smile, he replied, "I came across it a few years back in Phungrei City. At the time, there was this certain courtesan who played this strange and unknown game. Everyone was curious what it was when she came."
"Oh?" Fang Yuan smirked. "Curious about the game, or curious about her?"
Fang Joshua coughed, ears reddening. "Well… both. She was… stunning—the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. Naturally, everyone wanted to sit at her table."
Fang Yuan's eyes glinted. "She must be quiet the beauty then, especially when even our great elder Joshua himself is interested."
