"Come, come! I've heard from Elder Ming Zhang that your chess skills have greatly improved."
Daoist Yuting placed a piece, nearly cornering Daoist Mingzhang, "Take a look, does Elder Ming Zhang still have a way out in this game?"
Daoist Mingzhang glared, "What do you mean, 'do I still have a way out'? I haven't lost yet, alright?"
Daoist Yuting said perfunctorily, "Indeed, you haven't lost yet. I think I'm just two moves away from completing my layout."
Daoist Mingzhang: "..."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Mingzhang immediately turned his attention to the chessboard, looking left and right.
After a while...
"Hmm, the opportunity for Elder to turn defeat into victory lies within these two moves!"
Daoist Mingzhang nodded, then gently stood up and let Lu Zheng take his seat, casually picking up a layered cake and popping it into his mouth.
"Yuan Zheng, you finish this remaining game for me, let Elder Yuting see your recently improved chess skills."
