When Xu Lai returned home, his wife and daughter were still asleep.
Ruan Lan, however, was sitting on the sofa in high spirits, still fiddling with her chessboard.
When she saw Xu Lai, she dropped the board and hopped over. "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I've figured out seven more attack methods for the Starlight Array. Come check them out for me!"
"I don't understand formations," Xu Lai casually brushed her off.
"Oh, right."
Ruan Lan actually believed him. After all, Xu Lai had never used a formation in front of her.
His sister-in-law added with a hint of disdain, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have been stumped by that chess formation puzzle. Brother-in-law, chess and formations go hand in hand. You still have a long way to go."
Xu Lai was silent. A vein throbbed on his forehead.
