"This Mr. Lin, he really defeated Dan Che? No... aren't you visiting for the first time? Why... Hidden within the Capital there is such a formidable chess player?"
"Stronger than the Grandmaster chess players in court? Why is he unknown and obscure? Just happened to meet him myself?"
At this moment, she even doubted this was no coincidence, but coming to witness this scene had been a spur-of-the-moment decision, one she hadn't mentioned to those around her before this...
"Mr. Lin..." Hou Renmeng, Shen Juan, and others also couldn't hide their shock, wondering could their lord's chess prowess be so terrifying?
Dan Che, the little monk, sat motionless in his place. He lifted his head, his face no longer proud, staring blankly at Zhao Douan, his voice hoarsely saying,
"I've never heard of a chess player like you in the Capital."
Zhao Douan stood up, smiled, and offered no further explanation,
"The Capital is not as simple as you Western Regions people think."
